Chapter 17 It is reasonable to "pick up" vegetables in the wild mountains and ridges, isn't it?
Gan Fanren warned: "Tomorrow we must be more alert and be careful when encountering things." Gan
Tian was a little shocked.
[Tongmen Pass!]
[Help, why is it this place!]
[It's over, it's over, my eldest brother is probably finished.]
How is it over.
What is over?
Everyone looked at Gan Tian, hoping that Gan Tian could explain it clearly.
But Gan Tian's voice was very confused, and they could not extract any useful information at all.
[My poor eldest brother.]
[What should I use to save you, my eldest brother.]
[According to the plot, we should start to flee the famine in half a year. Now we are half a year earlier, and we may not encounter the things in the novel. Calm down!]
The Gan family was so worried that they didn't sleep all night, and they didn't hear Gan Tian say what happened next.
It felt like having a half-full meal.
Not only did he not feel full, but the aroma of the meal made him even hungrier.
Because they did not get enough rest, the Gan family was not in good spirits.
Li Zhi ate well and slept well, so he was very energetic.
Seeing that Gan Fanren was not in a good condition, he advised Gan Fanren to rest in the cart.
Gan Tian vaguely heard a hint of disgust in Li Zhi's words.
This kind of disgust is like when everyone gets together during the holidays, and because he can't drink, he is driven to the children's table.
Gan Fanren also felt it, and he stubbornly did not get in the car and followed Li Zhi.
Because of Gan Tian's voice yesterday, the Gan family was highly nervous.
Especially Gan Huaizhong, he sat in the car, hugged Gan Tian nervously, and said nothing.
When they arrived at Tongmen Pass, they saw from a distance a long queue of people who wanted to enter the pass.
Many people were arrested because they had no money.
"Mr. Jun, the customs tax of one tael of silver per person is too high. We can't afford so much."
"Please have mercy on us. Our homes have been destroyed. We have no choice but to escape."
Faced with the people's pleading, the guards at the city gate were unmoved.
"If you don't have money, don't take the official road. If you take the official road, you must pay with silver. One tael of silver per person. If you can't pay, go to jail."
The guard waved his hand impatiently and slapped the old man who was begging him to the ground.
"You old bastard, hurry up and give me the money, or I will arrest your whole family."
Several guards surrounded the old man, with the sharp spikes of their spears pointed at their necks. If they dared to say no, the spikes would pierce their necks.
The people were so scared that they wanted to escape, but it was too late.
The guards surrounded them, and anyone who wanted to escape would be beaten on the spot. Those
who were far away could not hear what happened, but could only see the guards suddenly take action.
Some people who liked to watch the excitement ran to the front to inquire.
As soon as they inquired, they were arrested. Unless they could take out the silver, they could not leave.
Gan Fanren originally wanted Li Zhi to inquire about the situation, but he heard his daughter cursing in his heart.
[You don't even need to look to know that those corrupt officials must be forcing the common people to hand over silver. Each person has one or two taels of silver. If you can't hand it over, you will be thrown into prison to do hard labor.]
[We can't go any further once we get to the front. Let's run fast.]
Gan Fanren said nothing. He waved his hand at a few people and everyone turned around and left.
They didn't speak all the way until they found a deserted mountain to stay. Gan Fanren then spoke.
"I think something is wrong with the situation at Tongmen Pass. Let's rest here for a night and make a long-term plan."
Although the Gan family is not a wealthy family, they are not short of silver.
Seven taels of silver can still be taken out.
But this is not a matter of money.
From what my daughter said, the guard of Tongmen Pass might be unfavorable to her son.
You can't enter Tongmen Pass from the pass!
It would be best to bypass Tongmen Pass and go directly to Jianan Pass.
Gan Fanren set his sights on the small road.
You can avoid the government by taking the small road, but it is easy to encounter bandits on the small road.
They only have two strong men, and if they take this road, they are likely to be targeted by bandits.
Gan Fanren concealed the news that the guard might be unfavorable to his son, and only said that he was reluctant to spend money and sought everyone's opinions.
Should he spend money to go through Tongmen Pass, or take the risk of taking the small road.
Li Zhi, a master of art, was bold: "Wouldn't it be nice to save money to buy meat? Seven taels of silver is enough to buy meat for a year."
"Take the small road, I'm here, I don't know who dares to bully us."
At this time, fists are the confidence.
Gan Fanren was once again glad that he could hear his daughter's voice.
Otherwise, he would have missed Li Zhi's help.
The old lady also had confidence in her son.
"There are many people walking on the small road, and not everyone will encounter bandits."
Although she said she was not afraid, the old lady still prepared some fine sand in her pocket.
"If anyone dares to come over, I will smear him with sand."
The old lady was very imposing, just like a female general going to the battlefield.
Gan Tian was happy.
[This idea is good, but the attack power of sand is limited after all. It would be great if chili water could be developed. ]
[I remember that in modern times, even policemen would use chili water to deal with bad guys. ]
Chili water...
Gan Fanren once ate chili peppers by chance. This is a foreign food. It tastes spicy and numbing, and the mouth is burning and painful.
If this thing can be developed into a weapon, it might be really good.
Gan Fanren subconsciously touched his daughter's swaddling clothes.
Peppers seem to be quite expensive, and he wondered if he had enough money.
Gan Tian was worried to death.
[Speaking of which, I have a lot of peppers, cabbages, eggplants, and potatoes, which are about to become smelly in the system warehouse.]
In the virtual city system, she used free farmland to grow a lot of vegetables, and she threw all these vegetables into the warehouse.
It's not that she doesn't want to sell them to the system, but it's too uneconomical.
One hundred cabbages can only be sold for one gold coin.
Converted into silver, that's one penny.
One hundred for one penny!
This is too cheap.
[It's too unfair for the system to take away so many vegetables for only one penny. It's better to sell them in reality and then exchange them for gold coins.]
[Anyway, my father has already tacitly acknowledged that the gods have blessed me, so it shouldn't arouse suspicion if I conjure up a few hundred kilograms of vegetables.]
For the first time, Gan Tian realized that having too many vegetables is also a problem.
Gan Fanren almost couldn't help but curse his mother.
They were on their way, in the middle of nowhere, who would he sell them to?
If possible, Gan Tian didn't want to take out these vegetables.
The farmland that comes with the system matures very quickly and can be harvested in a few hours.
Her warehouse is full.
These vegetables can't be sold at a high price, and it's really not possible to expand the warehouse for these vegetables.
So, when Hui Niang took Gan Tian for a walk, they "coincidentally" found a batch of vegetables that no one wanted.
Seeing so many vegetables, the old lady was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"I am an old woman in my sixties and seventies, and this is the first time
I have picked up vegetables." "What kind of shit luck is this!"
