Turn to the right. Wu Huoyan watched Yang Chendong smoke a cigarette and handed him one. After a little hesitation, he stretched out his hand to pick it up, then lit the cigarette with the match handed over, and took a sip like Yang Chendong.

Maybe it's because he worked too hard. He coughed involuntarily when he had never smoked a cigarette, and then he blushed and had a thick neck.

"Lao Wu, are you okay?"

"Brother Wu, how are you?"

Some of the stalls around me have been paying attention to the situation here. When they saw Wu Huo's uncomfortable appearance, several people asked with concern. Only from this point of view, Wu Huo's popularity is still very good.

"He's fine, but he sucks too much, and his voice doesn't adapt. Hehe." Yang Chendong answers for Wu Huo, then looks at Wu Huo with a smile and says, "smoking is not like you. You have to smoke a little and slowly to enjoy that feeling. Of course, it's not good for your body to smoke too much."

Wu Huo, who had adapted to a few huge coughs, took a sip gently like Yang Chendong, then closed his mouth, spewed two streams of green smoke from his nose and laughed. "Well, it's good. It's a little powerful and interesting. It belongs to men."

"Hahaha." listening to Wu Huo's evaluation, Yang Chendong smiled. Cigarettes are just one of the means he came up with to make money. In the future, he will engage in cigarette monopoly. I'm afraid the annual profit will not be less. As for whether it's a man's thing, he really didn't think about it. After all, many women in future generations will smoke. Although the proportion is small, it at least proves that it shouldn't be used by men.

With cigarettes as a bridge, Wu Huo is not so restrained in front of Yang Chendong. When they talk, they are like old friends. They don't say they know everything, but they can share it together as long as it's not a secret. This may be the charm of cigarettes, which can quickly bring two strangers closer to each other.

With the help of the God of cigarettes, Yang Chendong learned. Wu Huo is a native of the Ming Dynasty. His ancestors used to be soldiers in the Nuer cadre department. He is a standard military household. But it's too tired to do the military carving of Daming. Whether you fit in or not, the boy born in Junhu is Junhu as soon as he is born, and the girl born in Junhu will probably marry Junhu unless she looks excellent.

It seems that he is unwilling to accept this fate. After planning for a long time, Wu Huo's father escaped from the guard station and came to Narcissus Town, where he gave birth to Wu Huo. Now the old man is no longer alive. Wu Huo is 32 years old and is used to life here.

"Oh? Did Narcissus town exist more than 30 years ago?" Yang Chendong asked with interest.

"Yes, it existed more than 30 years ago, but it was not called town but Narcissus village at that time. Because it is close to the Songhua River, it can make a living by fishing in summer, and there are many large forests nearby. It can be mainly hunting in winter. As long as people are not lazy, they can live. There are more and more people here."

Under a cigarette, Wu Huo seemed to open the conversation box. He would say what Yang Chendong asked, and he also talked about some things Yang Chendong didn't come and asked, but also wanted to know.

For example, Yang Chendong learned about the disadvantages of military households. Whether you like it or not, birth represents everything. Wu Huo's father was born to like forging iron, but he did not become a craftsman, but became a military household, so that Wu Huo followed his father's characteristics and now began to repair the stirrups.

For example, Nuer gandu's various health centers have already had empty rates. In fact, some garrisons don't have so many soldiers. In order to ask the imperial court for more silver, the generals specially think of a way.

For example, Narcissus town is so poor that many people can't even eat enough. The most common thing on the table is fish soup of all kinds of fish, but people get tired of eating this thing every day. Not to mention, after all these years, if you want to have a good harvest in fishing, you can't do it by the river. You need to go deep in the river, so you have a certain real ability.

For example, there are still many young people in Narcissus town. Because of pressure, many people have practiced martial arts and equestrian since childhood. They are afraid that someone will threaten here one day. In this way, they can at least protect themselves without killing the enemy.

for instance...

After chatting with Wu Huo for more than an hour, in the later stage, some small business households around also dared to join here. What Yang Chendong needs to pay is that one person scattered another cigarette, which made many people who were curious before have a mouth addiction.

From these people's mouth, Narcissus town has become three-dimensional. Yang Chendong finally knows why a town of 50000 people can survive the siege of the northern Ming army. There is only one reason. It's too poor.

They are so poor that even the northern Ming army will not come here to fight for grain and grass. Most of the young men born here can't find their daughter-in-law in other places. They are so poor that they can work for others only by giving some money. They are so poor that

It's good to be poor. At least that's what Yang Chendong thinks.

Because of poverty, if you want to persuade some useful people to use for yourself, it will be more convenient and refreshing. Because he is poor, he can do a lot of things at a very small cost.

From Wu Huo's mouth, he also asked about the people's views on Nvzhen cavalry and Mongolian cavalry in this town.

Wu Huo said, others added. Talking about the two cavalry.

Whether they are Jurchen cavalry or Mongolian cavalry, they are not really composed of immortal women and Mongols, including many primitive people in Narcissus town. It is for this reason that they rarely do anything to bully the local people, because it will not be supported by the cavalry.

It is also because both sides have the participation of local people, which makes the Nvzhen cavalry not really fight with the weaker Mongolian cavalry, although they are strong. After all, the soldiers below are all their own. Many of them still play together from childhood, and let them kill themselves. The effect will not be very good.

Although we can't bully openly, secretly these two cavalry did not do much to oppress people. For example, the military pay for becoming a cavalry is not very high, and it is just enough to eat. For example, Wu Huo, who makes a living by craftsmanship, still pays tax silver every year. It is publicly said that it is a kind of protection fee they charge to protect Narcissus town from being bullied by Beiming guards and some nearby hill thieves.

Yes, not much money. But for Wu Huo, who is already living at the bottom of the society, it is silver as well as silver. They can save lives at a critical time.

Yang Chendong's eyes brighten as he listens. From what he knows, he already has a general plan in his heart. Once the trip takes place, his military strength here will rise to a big level.

All the people said a lot. It was about evening that Yang Chendong left the market. Out of gratitude, but everyone who chatted with him today got a piece of fat and five Liang silver.

It's a big piece of fat with a weight of three kilograms and five liang of silver. You can keep it and buy what you need in other nearby Beiming towns in the future, which moved Wu Huo and them.

But the more shocking thing was still to come, just after dinner that night. Most of the people in the town have the courage to sneak out of the bend, because they find that the five-star army seems to be easy to speak, at least it will not threaten the safety of the people, not even a word, which can make people feel at ease.

It was these five-star armies responsible for patrolling the streets that sent out a message in the evening that a public trial meeting will be held in the largest square in the town tomorrow morning. The generals and soldiers who tried Jurchen cavalry and Mongolian cavalry will be sentenced and executed on the spot if they are guilty of evil deeds, so as to give justice to the people.

The news came into the ears of the people walking in the street like a strong wind, and then into the homes of all the people through their mouth. According to the five-star army, I hope they can go to the public trial tomorrow morning. Those who have grievances can plead grievances on the spot, and those who have no grievances can also go to see a lively party.

Because of this news, Narcissus Town, with a population of 50000, suddenly became lively. Many people didn't come out and slip around. They went home early to have a rest, just to get up early tomorrow and grab a good place in the square to have a good look. What's the matter with this public trial conference. Is it true that we can make decisions and compensate for them, as the news said?

Yes, compensation.

The news said that if anyone has been bullied, as long as it can prove the fact, the five-star army will take out silver from the warehouses of the captured Nvzhen army and the Mongolian army for compensation. Of course, if someone wants to fake it, once it is found out, you are equivalent to a crime and will be severely punished.

But how many people who live in Narcissus town have not been exploited or oppressed? This is closely related to everyone. Naturally, there are many people who care about it. As for counterfeiting, hehe, I really thought about it, but when they learned that it was a felony, they gave up the idea. The dense gunfire in the town yesterday was not shooting bamboo. I heard that more than 100 people were killed. It was really killing, or the kind of blood flowing into a river. Don't want to live and greed for this kind of money?

Under all kinds of ideas, the sun slowly rises and a new day comes.

One morning, even many people didn't even have breakfast, so they came to the square with what they could seat, found a good place and began to wait.

The time is set at 9 a.m. But in fact, before 8 o'clock, more than 30000 people were focused on the square. In this way, more than 80% of the people with independent ability have come out, except for the elderly and children who are too old, which can achieve great influence.
