Chapter 598: It's Time to Collect Rent for Another Year~!

"Ahh Ah~Ahh ”

Li Zexuan, who was immersed in writing a book in the study, sneezed twice inexplicably, and he was already anxious about a bunch of chemical reactions, but at this moment he was a little depressed out of thin air.

"Damn~! Whose little girl is this thinking about Young Master Ben~? Ay~! It's also a sin for this person to be too good~! ”

As the saying goes, when you sneeze, someone scolds you; When you sneeze twice, someone misses you; When you sneeze three times, someone was talking about you, so Li Zexuan muttered to himself so stinking and shameless.

"Heh~! Who is Xiang Gong thinking about~? ”

Han Yuxi pushed open the door at this time, came to Li Zexuan's side lightly, and said playfully.

Li Zexuan's old face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Ahem~!" Do you still need to ask~? Of course, I'm thinking about you~! ”

Han Yuxi chirped: "Flim tongue, it's clearly not like this~!" ”

Although he said so, Han Yuxi didn't mean to study it seriously, and there were mostly jokes.

Li Zexuan smiled, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the cup of bright red juice that Han Yuxi brought in, and he was surprised: "Hey~!" This is chilled watermelon juice~? ”

It stands to reason that there was no juicer in the Tang Dynasty~! target

Han Yuxi smiled softly and said, "Ah~!" Xianggong, how do you know~? ”

"Hmm~! Smell it~! ”

In the hot summer, there is suddenly an extra glass of chilled watermelon juice in front of you, is there anything happier than this in this world~? Li Zexuan didn't bother to ask Han Yuxi how he squeezed the juice at this time, he directly picked up the cup and enjoyed it again, while responding to Han Yuxi's question.

Now it seems that although it is a bit hard to make books at home, there is a caring person to take care of it, and it feels good~!

……………………………

Six days later.

"Haha~! The special mother's is finally liberated~! Grandma's didn't expect it to be so hard to be a rich second generation~! ”

On this day, Li Zexuan finally walked out of his west courtyard, he was in retreat for a month, but the people of Chang'an City were lonely, without the big news he made every once in a while, the people of Chang'an City said that life was less fun, but fortunately, there was also "Datang Daily" that could be used to pass the boring time.

"Hee-hee~! Young master, are you out of the customs~? ”

Xiaohe trotted over from a distance, smiling like a flower path.

"Hmm~! That's right~! What do you think~? Young master, I have been in retreat for a month, Xiaohe, have you missed me~! ”

Li Zexuan squinted his eyes and teased.

Cough~! In fact, it can't be said to be flirting, he has been with the two maids for so long, and he can't be more familiar, it's not so much molesting as play~! For strange girls, Li Zexuan will never make such jokes.

It is said that during the month of his retreat, not only did people outside not see him, but even many people in the mansion rarely saw him, Xiaohe, a person who wandered around the West Courtyard every day, could only see his true body when Li Zexuan came out to the toilet every day.

"Hee-hee~! I don't have it~! Young master, if you say so, you are not afraid that the young lady will not let you enter the room at night~! ”

Xiaohe was not afraid of Li Zexuan, she stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.

Li Zexuan was happy to hear it, and smiled nonchalantly: "Heh~!" My family is not such a person~! It's a little girl, if you get married in the future, maybe you will become that kind of fierce shrew~! ”

"Young Master, you~!"

Xiao He was extremely angry, she crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at Li Zexuan with the other and said angrily: "Young master, you are too much~!" Little Lotus ...... Xiaohe, don't get married~! Ah~! Ignore you~! ”

If it weren't for the person in front of him being Li Zexuan, with Xiaohe's brutal nature, he would have spoken viciously to each other or added fists and feet~! It's rare that the little girl can still maintain her last sanity at this time.

"Haha~! Xiao Nizi is still fighting with me~? ”

Li Zexuan looked at Xiaohe's back and muttered happily.

It seems good to be able to fight with such a brutal little girl every day~!

"Xianggong, you are really ~! Xiaohe, how can a girl's family stand up to you saying that~? ”

Han Yuxi walked over from outside the courtyard and complained slightly to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan smiled: "Haha~!" It's okay, it's okay~! This little girl forgets everything after eating a meal and sleeping~! ”

Han Yuxi was speechless, she looked at Xiaohe's back, and then turned her head to Li Zexuan and said: "By the way, my mother was still saying just now that the farmers of Hanjiazhuang and Meicun have begun to urge us to collect rent, and it just so happens that Xianggong, you are busy with the matter at hand, and the concubine will not participate~!" ”

Li Zexuan was stunned, and then remembered that he was a big landlord, under normal circumstances, he only needed to eat at home and wait for death, but how could any dealer take the initiative to urge the owner's family to collect rent throughout the ages~? It's really weird!

Shaking his head, putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Li Zexuan responded: "That's okay~!" I'll take a trip~! But lady, how is the harvest in Zhuangzi this year~? ”

With his current wealth, of course, he doesn't care about the rent, and the quality of the annual crop harvest has little impact on him, but the impact on the farmers is too great, so he has this question.

When Han Yuxi heard this, her face darkened slightly, and she said softly: "There is less rain this year, I heard my father say that the harvest in Zhuangzi is not very good, and it will be about one or two percent less than last year. ”

When Li Zexuan heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the imperial court also issue a decree to raise chickens and reduce the burden?" Although the strength is not as good as ours, it can reduce some of the burden on them, right~? ”

Han Yuxi rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Xianggong, aren't you knowingly asking~?" Although this decree of the imperial court can reduce the burden of some people, it can only be enjoyed by farmers with land~! More farmers are planting the fields of the landlord's family~! Those landlords are only eager to collect ten percent of the rent, where will they care about the life and death of the villagers~? ”

The Tang Dynasty implemented the equalization system, divided into Yongye field and mouth field, Yongye field can be inherited and do not pay taxes, mouth field to pay taxes, dead to return to the state, each adult can be divided into 80 acres of mouth field, 20 acres of Yongye field, Yongye field can be bought and sold. When the year was bad, many people planted and harvested not enough to pay taxes, so they had to sell their Yongye fields.

The landlord has collected a lot of Yongye land, but his own land is still only 80 acres, and he only needs to pay a small amount of tax~! And what about the farmer who sold Yongye Field~? Although they received a large amount of money from the sale of land, they still had 80 acres of land to pay taxes, and when the year was not good, they would still eat a lot of money, so many people finally went to those landlords to rent land and plant to make up for their income and expenditure.
