Chapter 181: Go to the fiefdom
Xu Jingzong looked at Li Chuan with strange eyes for a long time, and saw that Li Chuan's hair was straight.
After a long time, he said, "Okay, I'll solve the matter of feed, but it may be more expensive." ”
"As long as it's not too expensive." Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a matter of making a decision to rush up the mountain, two hundred horses, it would not take a few days to gnaw all the grass near the valley, and he couldn't let those people who carried the water team collect the forage, so it was estimated that they would not be able to come back for a whole day.
Xu Jingzong nodded, walked into the temporarily enclosed horse farm, and touched it.
The maroon horse snorted, glanced at him, and was so good-natured that he didn't kick anyone.
"Good horse!" Xu Jingzong praised, "This should have been specially trained." ”
Li Chuan doesn't understand horses, but he didn't dare to give the little prince a second horse when he thought about it, the horses looked a little average, probably because they had worked hard all the way, lost fat, and got covered in ashes, and they didn't clean it.
He really felt that in this case, Na Ma's temperament was still so good, and it was completely Xu Jingzong's luck.
On such a hot day, if he was allowed to come all the way, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and his temper would definitely reach the critical point of outbreak.
"I'm going to settle the forage business." Xu Jingzong didn't stay long, said hello and left.
Li Chuan looked at his background and asked tiredly, "Do you think he is reliable?" ”
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "What's the benefit of him lying to you?" ”
Li Chuan really thought about it very seriously, and shook his head for a while, "It's not good." ”
Li Chengqian was speechless, as for thinking about it for so long? The answer is on the bright side, okay.
"In two days, do you plan to continue talking about the Song Dynasty?"
"Of course, the Song Dynasty hasn't finished talking yet." Li Chuan replied very firmly.
Besides, the Song Dynasty is actually very representative, and some policies are probably extremely absurd in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, but they did appear in history.
"How many classes are you going to give it into?" Li Chengqian's small brows furrowed, and said: "Actually, what you said is a bit too general, as far as I know, my father is planning to have an in-depth understanding of various dynasties, you can make preparations." "Don't be embarrassed when you don't know what to ask.
Li Chuan was stunned, and his face instantly became bitter, "Isn't it?" How do you know if you have a deep understanding? ”
"Understand from all aspects, specifically and in detail." Li Chengqian patted Li Chuan's shoulder sympathetically, and encouraged him not very sincerely: "Come on!" ”
Add a fart!
If he really wouldn't have been a university professor in the history department so much, so now he is being forced to become a self-taught professor?!
Isn't His Majesty Li Er able to let him go?! How about taking a book for each person and studying it yourself?!
Li Chengqian saw that Li Chuan was a little sluggish, and after snickering, he changed the topic: "Why don't you find your guards to come over and bring the horses home?" ”
Li Chuan shook his head solemnly, "No, I'm going to let them finish their lunch and go back!" ”
it! Such people do not deserve sympathy.
Rao is Li Chengqian no matter how much he rolls his eyes, he can't stand Li Chuan being a scoundrel enough, and he was really dragged by him until noon, fortunately, the people in the manor went up the mountain early in the morning to collect forage, and it was piled up like a hill, if you don't let the horse eat it, I really don't know what to do with it!
At noon, Li Chuan ushered in a bad news, and the housekeeper came to tell him that he really couldn't find a suitable place to put horses, and he could rent a house, but the family who rented a house and raised horses was not happy.
"My lord, I heard that the mansion of your fiefdom is almost built, why don't we put the horse over there first?" The butler tentatively came up with an idea.
Li Chuan touched his chin and thought about it, this is also a solution, but people's houses are not happy to let people raise horses, and he is not happy to raise horses in his house!
Li Chuan turned his head to look at the little prince, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Li Chuan's ill-intentioned gaze.
"You, what do you want to do?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but tighten himself!
Li Chuan was speechless, don't act like a pervert, okay?
"It's not a big deal, I'm just going to take 50 horses back first." Li Chuan said and looked at the housekeeper, and asked with his eyes, should the 50 horses be put down?!
The butler lowered his eyes and nodded slightly!
Li Chengqian: "......" Don't think that your eyebrows and eyes lawsuit can be concealed!
"What do you want to do, I don't listen to you raising horses." Li Chengqian snorted coldly!
"I don't need you to feed it, there is Xu Jingzong!" Li Chun's face was full of innocent kindness, "It's just put here temporarily, it won't take too long, it's a brother, don't worry about such a trivial matter!" ”
Li Chengqian opened his mouth and suddenly found that he had nothing to say! Can he still say that he is not a brother?! That's too stingy.
So the thin-skinned Li Chengqian could only swallow this bitter fruit.
Li Chuan achieved his goal and triumphantly led 50 horses back to the mansion.
But I don't know that Li Chengqian, who was behind him, began to seriously consider whether he should hand over this brother.
It's a loss?!
"By the way, I'll go to the fiefdom tomorrow, will you come?"
"No, no."
"Really not coming? Don't blame me if you miss something! ”
Li Chengqian suddenly looked like an alert rabbit and pricked up his ears: "What do you want to do again?" ”
"Well, who knows?" Li Chuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have to see the real environment before I know what to do." ”
Li Chengqian was silent for three seconds, and said decisively: "Good brother, take me one!" ”
Li Chuan smiled and said, "It's no problem to take you, the question is that you will get up tomorrow?" ”
It's a torture of conscience!
Li Chengqian thought of his ninth brother for a moment, and then remembered the night when he woke up and wanted to strangle the noisemaker!
A few more times like this, he felt that either he died young, or Xiao Jiu died!
Li Chengqian began to think about the feasibility of throwing Xiao Jiu back into the arms of his father!
Thinking about it, he felt that this was an unlikely problem!
"Good brother, come and help figure it out." Li Chengqian grabbed Li Chuan's arm, and felt that if you don't help me, I will rely on you to be a scoundrel!
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said very bluntly: "No way!" "If you want to rely on him, you have to rely on success.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for him to stay by his side, so Li Chuan doesn't take it seriously at all!
Miles ago, he instantly became angry with a pufferfish, and he shouted with a turn of his mind: "Isn't it a brother?" ”
"It's not!" Li Chuan didn't hesitate at all, and glanced at Li Chengqian with contemptuous eyes, as if to say: You are so stupid, do you really think this kind of agitation method is useful?
Li Chengqian: "......" is angry!
The next day, as Li Chuan expected, Li Chengqian really did not come, it should be said that he did not come within the time expected by Li Chuan.
He wouldn't have waited forever, and not long after the city gate opened, he went to the fiefdom with his guards!
Jingyang County is not too far away, and at the time when Li Chuan usually has breakfast, they have already arrived at the fiefdom.
Li Chuan looked at it and was a little surprised.
I thought it would be desolate, but I saw chickens, ducks and geese running all over the ground, as well as children chasing after chickens, ducks and geese.
"It's really, it's quite hilarious." Li Chuan didn't know what expression to use to reflect his mood.
Originally, he came with the idea of poverty alleviation, but when he came, he found that it didn't seem to be very poor here, and compared with other places, the people in his fiefdom were living very well.
There is not much left in the same field, but compared to the village that Li Chuan saw when he passed by, there is still a lot left, probably because of the poultry.
And the village is not as few people as Li Chengqian said, he looked at some villagers squatting at the door of their homes, looking at the children, and weaving things in their hands.
Probably a straw mat or something?
Li Chuan wasn't very sure, because his group had already alarmed the village.
Li Chuan and the guards stopped at the head of the village, that is, in front of the house of his fiefdom, and did not go any further, which made the villagers settle down a little.
Looking at the place where Li Chuan stopped, they also knew that this was the county prince of Jingyang, and their master, although he could not control their life and death, he could control the work that could control their life and death.
After all, this is someone's fiefdom, and the output of the fief must be taxed to him.
If they are ruthless and want to scrape off a layer of ground, they will have to starve, and maybe many people will starve to death.
The villagers instinctively panicked, but when they saw chickens, ducks and geese roaming all over the ground, they were relieved.
Someone kowtowed to Li Chuan from afar, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Li Chuan turned over and dismounted, stood in front of the house, and turned his head to look at the mansion.
There was no one at the door, and there were already guards who had already walked over to check.
Not long after, the guards came back, shook their heads at Li Chuan and said, "There is no one inside, it's empty." ”
So it's built, it's put here, and there's nothing added to it, right?
It's okay, he added it himself!
Glancing into the village again, Li Chuan said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
took the lead in walking into the house, in fact, the house of Sanjin was not small in Li Chuan's opinion, but it was a little difficult to fit everyone around him.
After all, there are too many guards around him, plus servants and the like, and he has to expand a place to raise horses.
Don't think about the garden, even if there is a reserved place for the garden, it is impossible for Li Chuan to use it to raise flowers.
After entering the empty house and walking around, Li Chuan pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied, the layout here is built according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, such as the living room of the first to enter the house, the small flower hall, the large dining room, as well as the servant's room, the big kitchen, anyway, there is no place for the master to stay.
The second courtyard is that there are several guest rooms, as well as a place reserved for martial arts training grounds, small gardens, and a master room, which is a row of main rooms, the master room, the study, the small living room, and the rooms of the personal guards and servants.
The largest master bedroom is in the rearmost three-entry courtyard.
The design here is completely like a large family living life, the master room is also the main house, but it is a lot bigger, there is no living room, there are several small courtyards, all for children or concubines to live.
After Li Chuan figured it out, he was thinking that with the speed at which officials in the Tang Dynasty married concubines and had children, it was estimated that this courtyard would not be enough to live in.
Of course, not all officials will marry concubines, like Fang Xuanling, Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong, etc., they don't have concubines, let alone the third courtyard, even the second one can live.
Li Chuan felt that his yard should be enough.
Don't think about marrying a concubine or anything, he is poor and can't afford to raise so many women, and if there are too many women, the child is easy to die, compared to the child, a woman is a fart?!
Li Chuan touched his chin and began to fantasize about his future life, and then he found that with such a large courtyard, he could only live with the guards and small silver and copper, and this residence was estimated to take several years.
Suddenly, Li Chuan questioned His Majesty Li Er's decision to give him such a small Lori, so he was not afraid that he would be bored and get a few women home first?
If he really got it, His Majesty Li Er would beat him for twenty boards at most, and what face would he have to blame him for always hugging women in the harem?!
Shaking his head, Li Chuan shook this strange idea out of his mind and began to think about how to decorate his home.
"Let's ask, is there a place near you that sells furniture?" Li Chuan lightly tapped the flat stone floor with his right foot, which was very strong and clean enough, "Also, find a few masons." ”
The kang still has to be plated!
Otherwise, how can you spend the winter?!
Li Chuan counted the money in his hand and decided to go back to the shopkeeper tomorrow, three days was enough time for him to collect all the money.
"Master, the furniture sold here doesn't match your identity." The guards hesitated.
Identity? Li Chuan squinted, what is his identity? Furniture is bought and used, does it matter what kind of wood it is?!
Well, very important.
"Then buy some casually, use them first, and then replace them later." Li Chuan waved his hand and sent the person away.
Xiao Yinzi walked around the room, hurriedly walked out, and ran to find the guard who bought the furniture, there should be something to advise.
Li Chuan didn't care about this, he was thinking about how to plan his territory, when he heard another guard report, "Master, the chief is here." ”
Inside? It came pretty quickly.
"Let him in." Li Chuan recalled, he remembered that his fief should occupy a village and a half, right?
Probably all belong to this chief?!
"Little old man Chen Ming, knock to see the county lord." As soon as the chief entered the courtyard, he took two quick steps and fell to the ground.
When Li Chuan looked back, he saw an old man with a white beard, who was not seventy or eighty years old, but sixty-five.
"Get up quickly, the old man doesn't have to be polite." Li Chuan hurriedly raised his hand and asked Xiao Yinzi to help the person up, he didn't want to lose his life.
"Thank you, Lord Prefectural." Chen Ming's legs and feet were quite neat, and Xiao Yinzi only made a look, and he got up by himself.
Li Chuan felt as if he had been deceived emotionally!
"Lord County, the people of the fiefdom were affected by the disaster, but none of them starved to death, this is the credit of the county lord, the little old man represents the people, thank the county lord." Chen Ming, the little old man, choked up, tears flashed in his eyes, and his gratitude could almost overflow, and he knelt down for Li Chuan very neatly.
Li Chuan: "......" He was a little panicked!
