I Don’t Want To Be Cold Anymore

Chen Fengxian also knew that Ding Wen didn't care about more money, but the big guys didn't want to be taken advantage of. Now Ding Wen was spending money to buy things in exchange for information, and she felt a little more comfortable, but she still suspected that the woman who sold things was slaughtering customers, so she pretended After going out, he instructed Jiufang Jianshi to go to the village to inquire about the price.

Xi Jianshi never misses the opportunity to be by Ding Wen's side at this time. He said that the city lord needed someone to bring tea and water, so he hurried to stay, and Ou Bai was also sitting in the room drinking tea.

Listening to the talk of the middle-aged woman selling things, Ding Wen had a better understanding of the situation in Shanbian Village.

Shanbian Village is full of debts, unable to repay the debts, and sentenced to serve the rest of their lives in prison.

"Serving the sentence? The sentence is still so good, can I have this kind of tea?" Xi Jianshi had never heard of it.

"Manpower is money, and sentencing must have economic value! If you kill them and bury them in the soil, they can be used as fertilizers. How much more value can be generated by working alive!" The middle-aged woman saw Xijianshi's face Looking shocked, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You people elsewhere, you just don't think about it. Even a murderer, in our case, has abolished the cultivation base of the star map, and worked every day with ankle chains to serve his sentence; he did not serve his sentence. Those who want to run also hang their anklets. They have to work in exchange for food and food, and no one wants to be lazy! Buy everything you need here, and the points for work are wages. If you work more, you earn more points. , to clear all the previous debts, or enough to buy a lighter sentence, and the points can be exchanged for money when you leave. But here, there has never been such a person!"

"Can their relatives and friends also spend money to save him?" Xi Jianshi asked curiously, Ding Wen didn't need to ask any questions next to him, she would do it for him.

"The people out there are so naive! Who would be so stupid in Linfeng City to spend money for their friends? As for relatives - if you have money, you can talk about family relationships, but if you don't have money, you are a burden. People in Shanbian Village are all in debt after selling their children. Tired, who is going to save them? Their children are still trying their best to earn money to save themselves! Even if they get out of the sea of ​​misery, they will not be foolish to save the oil bottle parents here!" The middle-aged woman Of course he said it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Because they calculate everything from the perspective of money interests, including blood relatives.

"It's fortunate that there are still children born here." Ding Wen has already felt the coldness between people here.

"What if you don't have children? If you don't have children, no one will work anymore. And there are rewards for having children; for raising children, you can also get tax credits. Besides, you can sell money in case of difficulties." The middle-aged woman As he was talking, when he saw a big boy coming back in sweat, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you running back again? You will deduct money when you slip back when you are working! Deduct money! You can't learn from your brother, be active. Do some work and earn money!"

"Mom, I got up late in the morning and didn't have a meal. I'm so hungry." The big boy explained in fear.

The middle-aged woman scolded angrily: "Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! When others wake up before dawn, you know how to sleep! When they are working, you run back to eat! I'll give you one-third After a quarter of an hour, go back to work! If you deduct the second round of points over time, you won't have to eat at night!"

When the middle-aged woman saw the big boy entering the kitchen, she breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a bit, and said to Ding Wen, "My family of six, the fourth child is the most worrying! Others' children arrive early every day and leave late every day. Not to mention that this fourth brother works overtime like his older brothers and sisters. He often oversleeps and is late, or he runs back to eat before it’s time to get off work! He’s not up to his expectations at all! At first glance, he doesn’t have the will to fight to make money. Lost goods!"

"You are in charge of the only official store in the village, so you shouldn't have to worry about your life, right? Do you need to push the child so hard?" Ding Wen asked her pretending to be relaxed, but she felt extremely heavy.

"If you don't make money, you won't be profitable. If you don't make money, you're losing money! If I raise a loser, I'm doing a loss-making business! Besides, what's the use of people who don't make money? What's the use of living without making money? Isn't that a waste of food?" The middle-aged woman's words took it for granted, as if someone outside was talking about urging her children to learn skills.

After chatting for a while, the middle-aged woman who sold the goods didn't have any more information to talk about, only the anecdotes of the mountainside village.

It has been a while since Chen Fengxian and Jiufang Swordsman came back, and Ding Wen left.

Ding Wen randomly asked villagers to ask for money in the village, and what he learned confirmed the middle-aged woman's statement that Shanbian Village was the place of punishment.

"How many points do you have after working for a year? How many points are left after taking out what you need for living?" After Ding Wen asked, Chen Fengxian gave half a tael of silver.

"If you work ten hours a day, that is 100 points. The rent of the house you live in is 60 points per day. You grow your own vegetables and pay half of it. The remaining half goes to the village tax, and the remaining half goes to the collective disaster year reserve. In the end, I eat the rest by myself, and exchange grain with others. After the harvest is over, it is barely enough. If the harvest is not good, I will buy it from the official seller. Plus salt is expensive, and I will have leftover money in the 30th year of the year. Drinking a bowl of sugar water would be good! If you don't have money to buy it, you will have to owe the government to sell it, and the interest will be doubled five times a year! There is no leftover!" Laughing at the ignorance of outsiders.

"Isn't there a year with an unexpectedly good harvest?" Ding Wen pressed, the man raised the broken silver in his hand~www.readwn.com~ It was an accident to meet you! By planting tea? When the harvest is good, the prices of the things that are sold by officials will go up! After the rise is over, there is still no excess left for yourself! Do you have any questions? Some people ask quickly, I will be deducted points if I am late for dinner and late for work! "

"No, hurry up." Ding Wen saw the man leave in a hurry, and saw a young man dragging a big iron ball, walking past the front with dull eyes, probably when he first came here to try escaped prisoners.

Chen Fengxian sighed: "The official sales in Shanbian Village have controlled key materials. No matter how much people here make more or less, after removing the city tax and village tax, the rest will be swallowed up by the official sales. If they have to owe money, it is impossible for them to have a chance to get out of here, and the system does not give them such a possibility.”

Zhong Xin, the chief swordsman, was also deeply shocked and said, "If it were the murderers, forget it. The villagers I asked were sentenced to work here for the rest of their lives because they had no choice but to go bankrupt after going into debt. This is too unreasonable. "

"There's no sense in this place! Money is everything!" Xi Jianshi pointed out the truth.

Yes, there are people everywhere who love money, which is normal.

But in Linfeng City, under the influence of the long-term system, money has crowded out everything else, and it has become the only master of the world rooted in people's consciousness.

This, of course, is very abnormal.

"Yunshangfei, is this what you want us to see?" Ding Wen felt that the situation in Shanbian Village should be the epitome of Linfeng City, which should explain the essential problem.

"This is the case in Bianbian Mountain Village. Why don't the Dingwen Branch Master go to Linfeng City to see how the city is going?" Yun Shangfei responded with a calm expression of salute, which meant that it was just a little witch in Shanbian Village, and there were unexpected things in the city' frightened'.
