"How could I possibly blame the leader?"
Lang Eyanming laughed and said, "Actually, the Great Liang destroyed the Western Xia."
"The Han people will definitely open up entertainment venues in various prefectures,"
"We won't need to go to the Central Plains then,"
"You can watch a show right in the nearby state capital."
Upon hearing this, the guard happily replied, "What the chief says is true."
"Yanzhou has never lacked Han Chinese merchants."
"It's just that there aren't any people who can talk and sing."
Lang Eyan nodded and said, "In the past, when the two countries were at war,"
"Those who dare to come to Yanzhou are all private merchants from the Central Plains,"
“Who among those with skills would be willing to risk their lives on the border?”
"The border regions, specifically the major prefectures, have 'Wazi' (entertainment districts),"
"The people in the smaller fortresses don't take the risks,"
"The Western Xia plundered many fortresses and strongholds,"
"I only managed to snag a few songs occasionally,"
"They still can't make it in the Central Plains."
"But we will all return to Daliang from now on,"
“As long as we have money, the Han people will definitely come to open the brothels.”
The guard nodded and said, "Each tribal chief has a vast fortune."
"There must be many people going to Wazi,"
"You're sure to make money if you open a gambling den here."
Most of the tribes' wealth was concentrated in the chief's household.
Especially the large tribes,
Because larger tribes possess more wealth.
On the contrary, smaller tribes have less wealth.
Some small tribes even face severe survival difficulties.
The leader isn't much better than the others.
Lang Eyanming laughed and said, "Although the tribal chief is rich,"
"But after all, the number is relatively small,"
"Moreover, after the imperial court took away the salt lakes,"
"I'm afraid some leaders will move to the Central Plains."
"It mainly depends on ordinary people,"
"However, once the world is unified, it will be easier for us to make money."
"Without the war, more merchants are coming here,"
"Our livestock hides and herbs can also fetch higher prices."
"The prices here are much different from those on Huanqing Road."
The guard exclaimed happily, "As long as there's money!"
"People in our tribe are willing to spend money,"
"I believe that Han Chinese will definitely come to open the tile-roofed area at that time."
Lang Eyanming chatted idly with the guard.
Before we knew it, it was already late.
The low-ceilinged mud houses were even more dimly lit.
We had no choice but to light an oil lamp.
As the time goes,
Lang'e Rock's name grew increasingly agitated.
He didn't touch the wine bowls on the table anymore.
The guard also saw through Lang Eyan's thoughts and laughed.
"My chieftain is probably hosting a banquet for Renli and the others,"
"I will definitely come to invite the chief when I have some free time."
Lang Eyan nodded and said, "I know too."
"I just don't know how many of Renli's troops have come,"
"If more of them come,"
"I'm afraid I'll have a hard time getting back to the city tonight."
The guard thought for a moment,
"The leader is drinking here,"
"I'll go and find out."
Lang Eyanming smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
"It's out of the way."
The two had a drink together.
The guard also felt that Lang Eyan was a generous and easy-going person, and that he was worth befriending.
Although Lang'eyan was the tribal chief in the past,
However, the Lang'e tribe is not as good as the Fangdang tribe.
Although he was just a guard
But they might not necessarily respect the name of Lang'e Rock.
Now, Lang Eyan's name quickly became an official in Weizhou.
His status was even higher than that of the chief of the Fangdang tribe.
We can still drink and laugh together like this.
The guards immediately recognized Lang Eyan as a true hero.
They willingly submitted to being driven.
The guard stood up.
He then addressed the woman who was also listening with great interest,
"I'm going out for a bit. You take care of the chief."
"If you neglect our distinguished guests, be careful, or we'll skin you alive."
The woman was slapped.
They became much more obedient and readily agreed.
The guard went out and closed the door from the outside.
The woman also lacked the modesty of women from the Central Plains.
Their hospitable nature was immediately revealed.
He poured wine for Lang Eyanming and said with a smile.
"We didn't know the leader was coming,"
"We didn't prepare any good wine either,"
"Chief, please don't find this offensive."
Lang Eyan also felt somewhat embarrassed that the woman had been slapped.
He hurriedly picked up the wine bowl.
"This wine is good; I drink it regularly."
Wine was also controlled by the imperial court in Western Xia.
Private brewing is prohibited.
The wine consumed by ordinary people was all purchased from restaurants of all sizes owned by the imperial court.
The woman drank a bowl of wine after seeing the name of the rock formation.
He filled it up again and laughed.
"According to the chief, the Great Liang has unified the world,"
"Can we live a better life?"
Lang Eyan nodded and said, "That's natural."
"With the Great Liang unifying the world, the various tribes will no longer need to fight."
"Because of war, how many men die in each tribe every year?"
"Moreover, Daliang does not collect agricultural taxes,"
"I suppose there won't be much tax on this herding."
Chapter 1941 What Can You Do?
“We should pay less tax than before,”
"Do you think we could live a better life?"
The woman exclaimed in surprise, "Han people make a living by farming, don't they?"
"If the Great Liang doesn't collect agricultural taxes, what will the emperor eat?"
Lang Eyanming laughed and said, "They collect commercial taxes."
"Moreover, the imperial court has a monopoly on the sale of salt, wine, tea, alum, incense, and other such items,"
"They probably don't lack money."
"That's beyond my understanding,"
"I heard that the King of Liang also exempted farmers from taxes,"
"King Liang is unlikely to make a mistake."
The woman nodded and said, "Da Liang has taken over the salt ponds."
"We'll have to raise more cattle and sheep,"
"If the imperial court could also exempt cattle and sheep from taxes, that would be great."
"The imperial court probably won't collect taxes from you,"
"It should be just like food,"
"It was collected from grain merchants."
The woman had no idea that the merchant would pass on this price to them.
"That would be good, since we're not businessmen anyway."
Lang Eyan's mind had already wandered outside.
But the woman kept rambling on and on.
Lang Eyanming had no choice but to keep dealing with the woman.
