Chapter 161: My Territory, My Decision
In the midst of the cheers for the master mother saint, Zhao Xing struck while the iron was hot, when he said that the money and jewels he got in Lin Hu were given to Zhou Tianzi, and he only got an empty Hou Ye; When he told that the 100,000 catties of gold he had just brought back was not a reward from the monarch for himself, but that he would hand over 3.5 million and a half taels of money when he went to Beijing to report on his work at the end of the year, he and Xu Jie fled in embarrassment in a screaming and wailing, and chased after Tofu Xi Shi who was carrying a sword: "I have to kill you two loser fox friends and dog friends." β
After looking at his daughter-in-law, the woman hugged the cute baby and cried, Zhao Xing sighed: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I want something, I still don't want to serve this family for thousands of generations?" sighed, and walked to the lobby.
The lobby is Zhao Xing's safe haven.
The return of Zhao Xing Fengjun made the entire Daijun a sensation, because of his military achievements, all the military and civilian officials admired and admired the five-body surrender.
After being away for a long time, he needs to inspect the territory, and the most important thing is that he has to carefully check and accept several projects that he cares about.
It is a very pleasant thing to sit in the new equipment sedan car, put your hands on the box, put your chin on your hands, and check your own territory in a leisurely manner. Although he bears the name of a marquis, he only has a palm-sized place, but this does not affect Zhao Xing's interest.
The sedan chair is another new thing that Zhao Xing enjoys. The four-wheeled carriage was inconvenient in his own mountainous and rugged place, so Zhao Xing invented this thing. Everyone who makes tools is everyone who makes tools, and for enjoyment, it really spares no effort.
In fact, this thing is the pannier sedan in later generations, but the horse's butt in front is always stinky, and the horse's head in the back always gnaws Zhao Xing's back, and the result is that all the way down, the front is covered with horse manure, and the back is a wet da. So, after Zhao Xingfu became rich, the four horses, sitting in the middle by themselves, everything was perfect.
The county magistrate of this county trotted to follow Zhao Xing's sedan chair and reported: "The front is the reclamation land of the Xiangbang family. Now they have mobilized 3,000 slaves and servants in the family to reclaim the land, and I estimate that by the end of the three years, at least 100,000 acres of land will be able to hand over 5,000,000 yuan to our treasury, and according to the rules, we will pay 1,500,000 to our wife. β
Zhao Xing thinks that the tax of 50 yuan per mu of land is okay, after all, in this era, a piece of wheat is only 300 yuan, and the wealth is hidden from the people, which must be implemented. Although this is a kind of hiding wealth from the family, helping the family. However, don't worry too much about the details, while collecting money, it is still a favor.
But this is actually good, according to the rules, this kind of aristocracy does not pay taxes, but who made Daijun Zhao Xing's territory, I am in charge of my territory, this is the rule.
"It is impossible for scholars to set the rules now for not paying food and not to accept forced labor. Who said that the world is not the king's land, since you cultivate my land, of course you have to pay taxes and rent for me. As a dignified prince, I still pay to the king every year, and everyone must abide by the rules. β
Qi Fei was embarrassed: "Some families are against it, thinking that it is an insult to them, because it violates the ancient Zhou etiquette and is a contempt for the gentry and nobles. β
Zhao Xing waved his hand indifferently: "Tell them, now that the etiquette has collapsed, and no one respects the rules of Zhou Li, I am in charge of my territory, and if you don't follow my rules, please get out." The world is so big, go where they want to go. β
"Does this include the Zongzheng family?"
"I don't care who he is, I still say the same thing, I am in charge of my territory, and the rules I set are mine, and I am not willing to implement them, get out."
Then he said directly to Wei Yong: "Five thousand cavalry are on call at any time, I don't care who it is, as long as he doesn't follow my rules, drive him away immediately, if he doesn't accept it, destroy it." β
Wei Yong immediately asked, "What if it's the Lady family?" β
Zhao Xing said without hesitation: "Even if Mrs. doesn't let me see my daughter for three days, it doesn't matter, either get out of here, or destroy it." β
Wei Yong nodded and whispered to one follower, and the other followed in the blink of an eye. 52 Literature
For these, Zhao Xing said that he turned a blind eye. Because he already knew that a younger brother of his wife's family, relying on his sister's power, blatantly opposed his own policies, and became a benchmark for others to wait and see.
As a result, in the afternoon, Madame's personal maid came and announced to Zhao Xing and all the officials: "Wei Yong's men killed his younger brother, yes, this is enough to prescribe for the world." Then a group of officials said to Zhao Xing in rejoicing: "Madame said, please hurry home." β
Zhao Xing shrunk his neck and asked Xu Jie: "How many places do we still have not inspected?" β
Xu Jie also craned his neck and replied: "The next stop is the dam, and then you can go to Loufu, Linhu, and then the national capital." By the way, there is also the Sishui Pass of the Second General, let's go now, we need your guidance there. β
Zhao Xing smiled bitterly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, let's take it together." β
Xu Jie was very proud, but after being proud, he was inexplicably wonderful: "This has nothing to do with me." Then resolutely put aside the relationship: "Besides, I am not your brother, I am your retainer's subordinate, and I am a dogleg of the upper branch and the lower faction." β
The dam was built last year, after Zhao Xing saw the source of water control in the mountains, he ordered Lu Ban to build it.
Now it has been built, and then, there are still twenty hydraulic stamping machines built by Zhao Xing's drawings, yes, the stamping machines of later generations.
This is Zhao Xing's treasure, and he needs to see it, because many, many dreams he wants to realize are on it.
Lu Ban is not a real name, but a craftsman in Lu State. Lu Guo is the historian of Zhou Tianzi, and he is also a great good man of the Zhou Dynasty. The princes of the world are good or bad, they are all decided by the Lu country, and the craftsmen of the world are out of the Lu country, which is also the capital of the Lu country. According to the equivalent yamen of the Lu State, it can only be called the craftsman class, so everyone refers to the most outstanding craftsmen from the Lu State as Lu Ban.
The Lu Ban recruited by Zhao Xing is very outstanding and very stylish. Especially in this era, there is no discrimination against craftsmen in later generations, there is only respect. Therefore, he was hired by Ren Tian, the envoy of the Ministry of Industry, as Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Industry, and was recognized by the Ministry of Officials and approved by Xu Jie, which is the procedure.
"I have completed Xingjun's task, and my son has seen Xingjun's skills, and I feel very much that you are really magicalββ"
"Don't say it's useless, I'll ask you, have I done everything I arranged for you?"
Lu Ban replied: "What should be done has been done, but it is just some details, because Qi Fei did not give the allocation, so it was not completed." β
Zhao Xing, who was lying in the sedan chair at that time, was furious and yelled at Qi Fei: "Details determine success or failure, don't you even know this?" You're going to spoil me. Appropriation, immediately, immediately. β
"But what you've taught us is to stop worrying about the detailsβ"
"I've changed my mind now, the details determine success or failure, this is my creed, hurry up and make up the details for me, otherwise, I will punish you for your money, upside down."
I am in charge of my territory, I can toss as much as I like, when Zhao Xing saw the menacing Yin Qi Zhou Tong running over, he cheered himself up.
It is impossible to change the order every day, especially the higher-ups.
