Chapter 25
Ripples appeared on the surface of Chaohu Lake, and Jia Nian, Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing rushed along the shore.

A huge water village appeared in front of it, and rows of arrow towers appeared in front of it.

"Stop, who's here?" A water thief with a knife bared his face and asked Jia Nian and the others loudly.

Several water thieves with guns standing behind the water thief looked at the past at the same time, and the breath of chill spread instantly in every corner.

Name: Baifan Water Village

level:? ? ?
troops:? ? ?
architecture:? ? ?
Looking at the series of question marks, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang gasped, showing vigilant eyes.

"We are from Changhe Village, here to pay the taxes," Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing said loudly to the water thieves.

Hearing the word tax, the hostility of the water thieves quickly dissipated.The Saber Water Thief also softened his face, and said to Tang Yanqing and Tang Gaoming, "What evidence do you have that you are from Changhe Village?"

"Is the identity token okay?" Jia Nian walked up to the sword-wearing pirate, untied the token from his waist, and handed it to him.

The saber water thief looked at the token handed over, looked it up and down, and handed it to Jia Nian again: "Unexpectedly, the village chief Jia from Changhe village came in person."

"Wait a minute, I'll go find Zhao Ergou to collect taxes." The Saber Water Bandit said politely to Jia Nian. They have no reason not to like this kind of village chief who keeps his own way.

Reaching out to return the token to Jia Nian, he turned around and quickly ran into the water village.

Jia Nian couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the water thief running quickly inside.I came all the way to pay the money, shouldn't I take myself in and have a rest.But seeing the row of archery towers, he wisely chose to keep silent.

Obviously, the white sail water thief doesn't seem to welcome outsiders very much.

A chubby figure came out, followed by the water thief with the knife: "I didn't expect Village Chief Jia to be so disciplined, not bad, very good."

"I received a reminder from Guizhai yesterday, and I will come here to pay the money in a hurry today. I hope that the affairs of Guizhai will not be delayed." Jia Nian said politely to the chubby man.

The man almost burst into a smile when he heard these words: "No delay, no delay"

"Mr. Jia, you can call me Zhao Er." Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian with a full face, and the word "dog" was naturally hidden.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Jia Nian and others to reply, he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, and slowly opened it in front of them: "Changhe Village, with a population of ten people, needs to pay one gold every year."

"I wonder if Village Chief Jia brought it?" Zhao Ergou asked Jia Nian with a smile.

Jia Nian replied to Zhao Ergou: "Bring it."

After speaking, he took out two gold coins from his sleeve, and then handed one of the gold coins to Zhao Ergou.

"Great" Zhao Ergou subconsciously sighed when he saw the two huge sums of money in Jia Nian's hands.Unexpectedly, a village with a population of only ten people could be so rich.

Just when Zhao Ergou took the gold, an unexpected piece of news appeared in front of Jia Nian.

"You paid the water thief's protection fee and lost one gold"

Zhao Ergou weighed the gold and nodded in satisfaction, "I don't have much to say about Village Chief Jia being so proud."

"This is the proof of payment, you take it well." Zhao Ergou took out a token from his sleeve.

Jia Nian took the token, showing puzzled eyes, looking up and down.

"You have obtained the certificate of good citizenship of the white sail water thief (put this certificate in the village chief's house, you can enjoy the treatment of the white sail water thief asylum for one year, and be free from sporadic water pirates)"

Seeing the brief introduction above, Jia Nian quickly put away the certificate and kept it carefully.

"Farewell," Jia Nian said respectfully to Zhao Ergou after collecting the certificate of good citizenship.He also wanted to find time to deal with the sporadic single water thieves, so he turned around and was about to leave.

Looking at Jia Nian who was about to leave, Zhao Ergou thought of the other gold on his body, and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute"

"What else do you need?" Jia Nian said to Zhao Ergou.

Guo Dapang, Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing also looked at Zhao Ergou at the same time, showing puzzled eyes.

Looking at the eyes of the four people, Zhao Ergou suddenly smiled: "I wonder if Village Chief Jia is interested in developing Changhe Village?"

"Develop Changhe Village?" Jia Nian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this sentence, as if he had guessed something vaguely, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

Tang Gaoming and Tang Yanqing also showed puzzled eyes, wondering why the water thief would say such words.

On the contrary, Guo Dapang's heart is full of enthusiasm. It seems that showing off his wealth really has a miraculous effect.Thank you for the omnipotent strategy, thank you for the omnipotent keyboard warriors and theoretical emperors.

Zhao Ergou looked at Jia Nian who was in a state of astonishment, and felt a little proud in his heart: "If a village wants to grow and develop, the most important thing is the population. I don't know if Village Chief Jia thinks what I said is right."

"Not bad," Jia Nian replied to Zhao Ergou without thinking.

The corners of Zhao Ergou's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had seen the piece of gold in Jia Nian's sleeve, and was waving to himself: "The master is kind, and has taken in many refugees who fled from the north."

"If Village Chief Jia wants people, I, Baifan Water Village, are willing to provide some," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian and Guo Dapang looked at each other, and they both saw the same answer in each other's eyes: "Human trafficking?"

"How can it be called human trafficking? These are refugees taken in by the benevolent head of the family," Zhao Ergou said solemnly.

After a short pause, the topic changed: "However, these people need money for food and clothing, so if Village Chief Jia wants to take them in, he just needs to make up for their expenses in the water village."

"Understood, understood, this is all the kindness of the head of the family." Jia Nian immediately realized that it was not human trafficking after all.It's just that the white sail water thief would care about such a reputation.

A smile appeared on Zhao Ergou's face again: "The land around Chaohu Lake is fertile, as long as it is reclaimed, Village Chief Jia will make a steady profit."

"So I suggest that Village Chief Jia can take in more, and the village will naturally prosper quickly," Zhao Ergou sold Jia Nian.

Guo Dapang interjected and asked, "I don't know what the price is?"

"What price? That's what they spent in the water village." Zhao Ergou said to Fatty Guo with a downcast face.

Fatty Guo nodded his head quickly: "Yes, yes, it's a fee."

"A family of three with two elderly people will need a total of 1500 yuan." Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian, but his eyes were fixed on his sleeves.

Jia Nian lowered the price to Zhao Ergou, and tentatively asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

"No, this is the price set by the boss himself," Zhao Ergou said firmly. As an exclusive business, they have a monopoly position, so they speak very hard.
