The facts prove that no matter how small or broken the territory is, the matter can not be explained clearly in a few words. Fortunately, after half an hour of conversation, Qi Shan finally learned some necessary information.

First of all, there are almost no restrictions on power. The Great Zhou court implemented a feudal system. Although the names are different, they are essentially the same.

However, it is still a bit different from the feudal system of princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it is more like a noble lord in the fantasy world.

The general inherited by Qishan was only a knight at most, and the Heilin Township under his command was just a knight ridge.

The flat analogy is much easier to understand.

When summoning the people of the territory the next day, Qishan's idea was confirmed, which was absolutely authoritative in Qishan, Heilin Township.

The people in the town have only a hundred and eighty people, most of whom are old, weak, women and children, only a few strong men, and they are thin.

When I saw Qishan, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't speak much, their numb eyes became a little more agile.

As long as someone inherits the position of the general, they can continue their lives, otherwise they will face the unknown.

And this is exactly what they fear the most.

Qi Shan was a little silent, and his previous mood of taking advantage was gone.

The ceremony is very simple. Qishan only needs to wear official uniforms and accept the bowing of the people.

After the end, Qi Shan rejected Zhao Qian's proposal to reply and took them into the town.

The people are indeed living a hard life. Almost all the people in the yard are fishermen. They eat by the sea and can naturally eat when they are in a good harvest. When they encounter bad weather, they can only go hungry. There are not many people who have food at home, and even if there are, they are just salted fish.

Qi Shan turned around and there was a question mark on his head.

"Are there no vendors in this?"

Zhao Qian said: "It was some before, but after experiencing that incident, I ran away. Now if I want to buy something, I can only wait for the merchant ship once every 10 days, and there will be some daily necessities, food and salt on it.

Because it can be exchanged directly with seafood, it is more popular among the people."

Qi Shan said: "The price is very low, right?"

"There is nothing to do about this!" Zhao Qian's mood was a little depressed.

Seeing that Heilin Township is so dilapidated, the one who is most anxious is Zhao Qian, but she has no idea what to do.

The two walked forward silently. Qi Shan suddenly saw a little girl squatting on the street. He looked at her curiously and was stunned.

The little girl pressed a soccer ball-sized oyster with one hand and was smashing it hard with a rock.

And the same size of oysters next to her are piled up like mountains.

The little girl obviously often did this and was already very skilled. She smashed it with a few random stones and smashed the oyster shell. She reached out and grabbed a large piece of oyster meat, threw it directly into the wooden basin next to her, and took one directly.

"She...what is she doing?" Qi Shan stuttered a little.

Zhao Qian said strangely: "It's just taking out meat. This thing is very sparse and ordinary. Take it directly. The merchants don't want it. They are willing to exchange it only if they take out the oyster meat!

Usually, 10 kilograms of meat can be exchanged for one kilogram of high-quality corn or three kilograms of brown rice, and other products also use this as general equivalents."

Qi Shan's mind was spinning rapidly.

He knew about oysters. This thing was called a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women, so it was almost pursued by the people of the whole country.

Ordinary fist-sized oysters cost more than ten yuan per pound, and I have never seen football-sized oysters before. This thing can be said to be another species. OK?

Can more than 10 kilograms of good oyster meat be exchanged for one kilogram of good wheat?

If you have shells, you need at least 150 kilograms to change to one kilogram of wheat.

It costs more than 1,000 yuan to say 150 kilograms of oysters.

??(￥*￥)??

Qi Shan's eyes suddenly jumped out of the RMB symbol!

Become rich!

Qi Shan hurriedly asked, "Do you have too many things?"

"It's as many mountains as mountains, and it can't be dug up anyway, and it's growing every month!" Zhao Qian was a little surprised. I wonder why the Major General was so interested in these worthless things?

But he pointed to the direction of the pier and said, "There are several reefs on the pier, all of which are stretched for several miles. Whenever the sea water recedes, the people in the town will get some back."

It turns out to be rich!

Qi Shan couldn't help but said excitedly: "Take me there quickly, I'll do some too!"

Zhao Qian was amused and crying: "Why do you have to do this? If you want it, just give me an order. The people below will naturally send it. Anyway, it's just something worthless!"

"Can I just want it?"

"Of course, you are a general, the entire territory is yours, and the food that the people eat is also yours. Just let them do some work, no one will be unwilling to do it!"

As if he felt that the explanation was not very intuitive, Zhao Qian stepped forward and said a few words to the little girl.

The little girl nodded quickly, turned around and ran into the room.

Soon two thin women came out and carried four buckets of oyster meat to deliver it.

Qi Shan was a little amused. Although the oyster meat was too valuable, it looked like a fake one. It was better to have a shell directly.

"Don't give me this, just get some for me! Forget it, I'll do it myself when I go back!"

Seeing the two women hurriedly put down the bucket and wanted to grab the pile of oysters with empty hands, Qi Shan suddenly felt a little reluctant.

How do you feel guilty about exploiting poor peasants from middle and lower levels?

Seeing Qi Shan refuse, the two women were at a loss. A trace of clarity flashed in Zhao Qian's eyes and asked them to put the things down again.

After swaying forward for a while along the street, Qi Shan was really eye-opening. In addition to hard work, there were also crabs that were one foot long, big prawns with arms length, lobsters with claws, sea urchins, and fish. You could see different species of fish hanging at the door every few steps.

I don’t know much about the types of fish, but just looking at the size makes me feel excited.

After walking around, Qi Shan felt a little moved, isn’t this guarding the gold mine to beg for food?

Even though he is so rich, he has become a middle- and lower-middle-poor peasant. Where can I reason with him?

It can only be said to be the limitation of the times!

Qi Shan suddenly said: "What do the people usually pay for taxes?"

Zhao Qian's expression changed slightly: "Does the Major General want to collect taxes now?"

Qi Shan looked at her strangely, and Zhao Qian quickly lowered her head: "Major General, forgive me, my subordinates have surpassed me!"

Qi Shan waved his hand: "I don't mean to blame you. I know you are afraid that the people will go hungry. There is no need. I just ask!"

Zhao Qian said carefully: "There is no clear standard for taxation. The general can specify the collection of grain or money, or even other things!"

Qi Shan’s eyes lit up: “Can seafood be OK?”
