On this day, the chief manager of Lin came to Su Yingtong early in the morning to report the matter of Zhuangzi: "We have 320 tenant farmers in the fertile fields of Xijiao, not counting peasant women and children, the laborers who work in the fields can earn about 32 taels per year, which can feed the family, and when the children have the ability to go to the fields, they can have an extra salary, and the old tenant farmers will arrange chores on the Zhuangzi, which is generally 1270 yuan per month, and the salaries offered to the tenant farmers by the Anguo Mansion and the Jianwang Mansion are 28 taels and 26 taels per year respectively. When the harvest is good, there are more, and if the harvest is bad, reduce it by about five taels appropriately. “

In this way, the salary offered by the royal government to the tenant farmers is indeed not low.

Su Yingtong looked at the account book in his hand, and remembered that he didn't take a thousand or a hundred taels seriously before, and he could casually pit a few thousand taels from the owner of a first-class building...... Such a sum of money is not enough for a tenant who works in the farmland to save it in a lifetime, right?

The class distinction is so strong, it is not easy for tenant farmers living at the bottom of society, according to the current four or six shares, it is too ruthless, she asked: "What do tenants think about salaries?" “

"Back to the princess, our palace has a higher salary than other high-ranking families, most of the tenants have no opinion, the tenants who built the prince's mansion have some complaints, and some people also said that when the contract period arrives, see if they can fight to rent the fertile land of our palace."

In this way, there will also be competition among tenants, and the only increase is in output, which forces other large households to not lower their salaries, and I don't know if it will cause dissatisfaction among other large households.

In fact, in such a small peasant economy, there are still many that can be optimized, so that in the era of agriculture-oriented, it is even more necessary to improve the legal system to provide security for tenant farmers, but unfortunately although Gong Yilin is under the banner of magnanimity and Mingjun, he is actually a stingy and cunning emperor without stomach, so Xiling may not be much better.

It seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is vulnerable.

It seems that I still have to talk to Gong Jingyu. Su Yingtong found that although the palace mirror domain also has the hierarchical concept of feudal aristocracy, but compared with most people, he is more receptive to new things, but it is a pity that he was born in such an era of monarchs and ministers, otherwise his achievements can be described as limitless.

When Mr. Lin stepped down, Qingmei came in from outside and said, "Princess, Mrs. Chang of Changfu is here." ”

Mrs. Chang? Su Yingtong remembered the Xie who persuaded her in the inn, "It's better to wait for the prince to come back and make a decision, the girl must not be impulsive".

"Please."

Su Yingtong checked his appearance before he went out, and when he saw that Xie asked the maid to come in, he took the lead in greeting: "Mrs. Chang, it should have been a junior who was going to visit, but I was tired of Mrs. ......"

"It's very contrived to say this," Xie Shi looked at this step-room dressed in gorgeous clothes, and saw that she behaved calmly and spoke generously and politely, so he was glad that he didn't look away at the beginning, "The princess and noble people are busy, and I bothered her." "Let the maid behind her send the nine-color gift box she brought.

"Mrs. Chang is polite," Su Yingtong asked Qingmei to accept the gift, invited Mrs. Chang to sit down, the maid served tea, and Su Yingtong talked to Mrs. Chang about homework, "...... What books does the child read in school? ”

Mrs. Chang replied a few words, and saw that Su Yingtong didn't ask anything like "what do you have to do", so she had to mention it herself, "I heard that the prince is going to be sent to South China?" ”

Su Yingtong nodded flatly, "I heard that's the case." ”

Seeing that Su Yingtong was not in a hurry at all, Mrs. Chang finally couldn't sit still, didn't she know that this was not an ordinary errand? I had to smile and say a few words: "The prince is really a celebrity in front of the saint, this corruption case in South China, but many officials can't avoid it, but the saint sees that the prince has such ability, I don't know what a great honor it is!" But the water in South China is very deep, and the prince has stepped into it, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out......"

Seeing that Su Yingtong was still unmoved, he said: "But the prince is brave and strategic, where are the small businessmen in a few places who can be embarrassed, but ......" Xie Shi's face was a little embarrassed, she looked at Su Yingtong and said carefully, "Our house has invested a sum of silver in shipping......" Seeing that Su Yingtong's face was different, he hurriedly added, "It's just reselling goods from the north and south to earn the difference, and I definitely haven't touched anything unsightly!" However, in order to find a good wharf and give the local prefect a lot of benefits, in the construction of the river embankment, the prefect just said that 'the imperial court has insufficient funds', and I don't know how many people have sent the money, and the prefect also made an account book, saying that it is the wharf management fee, as long as there is a name on it, which ship can go sideways on the transport, regardless of whether you pay taxes and how many goods are transported...... Who would have thought that something like this would happen! Princess, the account book is still in the hands of the prefect, and there is the name of our Changfu on it! Ask the princess to say a few words to the prince......" The latter words stopped in Su Yingtong's gaze, and a little embarrassment flashed in Xie's eyes, but he still looked at Su Yingtong with hope.

Su Yingtong tidied up his sleeves and asked, "I didn't expect that leaving the roster would become today's evidence?" "Still walking sideways, how far can a ship go sideways? Now the gift-giver knows that he only gives gifts and does not see people, and he can avoid it, so as not to fall into the mouth, she is good, and she has left a roster, are you afraid that others will forget how much money she sends?

Mrs. Chang's eyes were embarrassed, and she was actually in front of a junior...... She still straightened her waist and said: "It costs money to treat people and things in Kyoto, which family doesn't have one or two ways to make money, does it depend on the master's money and those fields...... It's not that we've done things that hurt the heavens and reason, we will be more restrained in the future, and ask the princess to say a few more words to my aunt in front of the prince. ”

became "aunt". Su Yingtong can also understand Mrs. Chang's mood, what she did was really not a big thing that hurt the heavens and reason, she didn't want to agree so quickly, but she wanted Mrs. Chang to have a longer memory, as a relative of the Xiangyuan Palace, she should be very careful when acting, but she couldn't implicate the palace casually, the palace mirror domain was already very busy, she didn't want him to be distracted and look at her own people.

"I rarely ask about the prince's affairs in the court, although try to say a few words to the prince."

Xie Shi has Su Yingtong's words, which is already grateful, "Then thank you to the princess!" I will say a few words to my master, and I will never dare to be so careless in the future. ”

"That's for the best."

Xie Shi said a few more good words, and she stood up: "The master has not slept well in the past few days, I have to go back to tell the prince the good news, so that the princess can smile." ”

"I'm just saying a few words to the prince." Exactly how it is not known.

Xie Shi was already at ease, "What the princess said, the prince will definitely take it to heart." ”

Qingmei returned the gift, but Mrs. Chang pushed it back and said: "I have already troubled the princess, how can I still pay so much attention to it, the princess will invite him to sit in the house when he is free." "Speed up and leave the palace.

Qingmei is holding the return gift in her hand and is a little confused.

Su Yingtong said: "Take it back to the warehouse, you can use it next time." (To be continued.) )
