Chapter 61: Cutting through the mess with a quick knife
Emperor Wenwu was probably the richest emperor, and since he had a little power, he began to increase the number of imperial estates and collect land through various methods.
Mountains and rivers everywhere, as well as some places with fertile land, basically have estates run by the royal family.
Through war, punishment, acquisition, etc., he constantly concentrates wealth, and he is not only the most powerful person in the world, but also the richest person.
After Wang Lanling went home and told his wife and concubine about this, he found that some things were a little different from what he thought.
"This field is allowed to be operated by you, and you have to pay land tax every year, if you want good land, you can pay more, if it is wasteland, you can pay less, this can be handed over to the tax department, and there are ......"
Rea explained that his title was not tax-free, and he had to pay taxes after getting the land and house.
In addition to paying taxes, these 100 acres of fertile land are not the same as the fields purchased by one's own family, and they cannot be sold to others, nor can they be inherited by their children and grandchildren.
This is a reward for you to make money, and when you die, the court will take it back, along with the crops and houses on the land.
According to Leia, Emperor Yanwu often did the kind of rewards that benefited his descendants, while today's saints prefer to do things that harm their descendants, and especially dislike rewarding hereditary titles and treatments.
Anyway, this is a good thing, Wang Lanling is not familiar with the people here, so he went to Wangjiabao the next day.
Wang Lanfeng was resting today, and was about to go out for a ride, and after knowing Wang Lanling's intention, he said, "I'll take you to the field to have a look." β
However, Wang Lanling really didn't like to sit on the back of the bicycle and get off the ground, so he panicked.
"No, the main reason is that I am not familiar with Xiashan Village, is my sister-in-law familiar with that side?"
Zhang Zhu didn't know about this, "I'm from Dazhang Village, I haven't been there, there should be relatives over there in our door, by the way, Sister Feng's rent is over there, you go to her and ask." β
Wang Lanling nodded, "Then I'll go to Xu Baifeng and ask, brother, do you have something?" Come with me. β
Wang Lanfeng didn't want to contact the long house, and said, "I still have friends waiting for me outside, so I won't go." β
Wang Lanling said: "Well, then I'll go over and ask, didn't you talk about buying land last time, I'll see if there is any land nearby, and then the two families will be next to each other." β
Wang Lanfeng said: "We have already bought land in Dazhang Village, which is the field in your sister-in-law's door, and her father helped Zhang Luo." β
Hearing this, Wang Lanling was not reluctant, "That's fine, by the way, when I went to the wine store to buy wine yesterday, the shopkeeper gave me a jar of leopard whip wine, I am too young, my body is weak, I can't drink spirits, and I will let someone send it at noon, you drink a small cup a day first." β
Du Sheng is the son of the owner of the liquor store, because Wang Lanling has always sent him to the county to deliver letters recently, and he doesn't return home at night, so the boss feels that his son is valued, and sends a jar of liquor for his son to give birth to.
Wang Lanling usually drinks lightly sweet rice wine, but when he opened it and saw the tree egg thing, he was immediately startled, and he really couldn't enjoy this blessing.
Zhang Zhu blushed and said to Wang Lanfeng: "Brother Ling is sensible, don't hurry up and thank Brother Ling." β
Wang Lanfeng is not a physical problem, mainly because he doesn't have the heart to do that, but he still thanks Wang Lanling.
Wang Lanling went to the long house and found Xu Baifeng.
Xu Baifeng was breastfeeding the child in the room, and he didn't shy away when Wang Lanling came in, and said with a smile while feeding the child: "Brother Ling'er, why did you want to come and see my sister." β
Wang Lanling saw that Xu Baifeng was breastfeeding, so he stepped aside and sat down and said, "I heard that you are familiar with Shanxia Village in the east of the city, and I want to ask you something." β
"What's the matter?" Xu Baifeng faced Wang Lanling's side, holding the child in both hands, there was not much love, and she was still the noble rich young grandmother.
Xu Baifeng also became the young grandmother of the Wang family because of this natural extravagance.
Her family is also considered rich, and I heard that she is the daughter of a landlord's family, but Wang Lanling is not clear about this.
"I'm knighted, now I'm a princess, the court has promised me a hundred acres of land, I want to be closer, I want to ask how Yamashita Village is."
When Xu Baifeng heard that Wang Lanling had been knighted, he immediately said with emotion: "My family's unsuccessful person is a few years older than you, but he has achieved nothing, and he is far worse than Brother Ling." β
Wang Lanling didn't want to listen to other people's family affairs, so he continued: "Are you familiar with that mountain village? β
Xu Baifeng still said with emotion: "Familiar, I have a little lady over there, the people over there are poor, Brother Ling, you have been knighted, this is a festive thing, our house should also celebrate you, so that the family will be happy!" β
When Xu Baifeng talked about Wang Lanling's affairs, he was very energetic, and he was familiar with Wang Lanling's affairs and drove Wang Lanling to this house.
However, Wang Lanling doesn't like to be lively, especially this kind of banquet held by people he doesn't know, and he stays away.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, and it's ......" Wang Lanling paused, and used the excuse that he felt uncomfortable to use, "There is only one father!" β
Although this sentence has always made Wang Lanling very uncomfortable and awkward, the explanation of this sentence is far stronger than a thousand words.
Lord Xiao Wang directly sacrificed Wang Fang, and Xu Baifeng naturally couldn't find a bigger card than this one.
"Look at my mouth, it's true that you can't forget Ben now, but this is always a good thing, your father will be happy if he knows it under the spring, in this way, I will go to Xiashan Village with you to have a look, this family, can we still help each other?"
Xu Baifeng stood up with the child in his arms, walked to the chair where Wang Lanling was sitting and sat down, and talked to Wang Lanling more closely.
This is a shrewd woman, Wang Lanling even thinks she is a bit stubborn.
"That's it, but is it convenient for you to come over?" Wang Lanling looked at the child in Xu Baifeng's arms and felt a little inconvenient.
Xu Baifeng said with a smile: "What's inconvenient about this, this little baby is already full, and she will wait for her mother to take care of it." Belle, go get the car ready. β
The maid next to Xu Baifeng quickly went out to call someone to prepare the car, as a young grandmother, Xu Baifeng almost grasped the internal rights of this place.
Xu Baifeng of Wang Lanling has three children, basically one every year, and they are all boys.
There are many reasons why she is in power, and any of them are powerful.
It's just that Wang Lanling wants to divide the line with most of the people in Wangjiabao, and he can't do too much and have a reputation for being unkind, but he can't get into this door.
He didn't become an official for this family, and he didn't want to trouble his aunts, aunts, uncles, uncles, and aunts.
Wang Lanling called out to Zhao Wenrou, Zhao Wenrou who was riding a horse, that person was tall and majestic, and he directly cut off the troubles of mundane things.
"Who is this?"
"Zhao Wenrou, my fiancΓ©e, is the daughter of the military coat I met when I ran out last time, his father is ruthless!"
