Chapter 50 Thousands of acres of fiefdom, small landlords in the Tang Dynasty
Next.
The people from the Ministry of Rites came.
announced that Zhang Ruoxu became the county magistrate of Gaoyang, and turned the original 300 households into 700 households, with a fief of 3,000 acres.
Sealed.
Coupled with the previous 300 acres, Zhang Ruoxu is now a small landlord.
This made the whole Earl's Court quite happy.
Especially Huang Zhong, seeing Zhang Ruoxu become a county uncle from a county man in just one year, he was really happy in his heart.
I can't wait to go outside the city to see the fiefdom.
in the house.
"Lang Jun, it's winter, why don't you go to see our Zhuangzi and meet the tenants?" Huang Zhong stood beside Zhang Ruoxu and said, "By the way, take a look at our land?" ”
"Well, since I have become the head of the family, it is normal to see my food and clothing parents." Zhang Ruoxu thought for a while and said, "I really didn't expect that now I am also a small landlord." ”
A big smile appeared on his face.
Then, followed Huang Zhong out of the door.
I got into a tall ox cart and walked slowly forward.
The weather is slightly cold.
Huang Zhongren also wore thick ones.
Fortunately, the cold in Chang'an is not particularly cold.
Chang'an to the north, that's called cold.
It is reported that peeing in the eastern part of the Liaoning region can freeze, and you need to take a stick and knock it while sprinkling, otherwise you will be frozen.
I don't know if it's true.
The ox cart moved forward slowly.
After walking for about an hour, he went out of the city gate.
Coming down to the river.
The ox cart on Zhang Ruoxu's house is specially made.
Because Zhang Ruoxu's body is large, the ox cart he rides is larger.
The carriages are a bit higher.
Finally.
After another hour or so, the car came to Xiahezhuang.
Xiahezhuang is located under Weishui, so it is called Xiahezhuang.
Dozens of families in Zhuangzi heard that Zhang Ruoxu was coming.
One by one, they all came out and stood in front of the entrance of the Zhuangzi.
Ragged clothes, shrunken hands, and constant shivering.
Cold.
Zhang Ruoxu stepped down from the carriage.
These people were frightened and retreated back again and again.
"This ...... Is this still human? ”
"It's really mighty, more powerful than the long worm on the mountain!"
"I've heard for a long time that the main family is mighty, I really didn't expect it to be so mighty!"
"Could it be that the giant spirit god can't go down to earth?"
“……”
These people present whispered one after another.
The curious child secretly looked at Zhang Ruoxu.
"Didn't you say seven hundred? Is this seven hundred? Zhang Ruoxu asked in a low voice.
"Lang Jun doesn't know, 700 households are Shilu, it is the money issued by the household department every year, this Zhuangzi is for us to farm, the Shanghe Village on the other side of the river, there is still a thousand acres of land over there is Lang Jun's, 300 acres were sealed before, I took the money in the house and bought another 700 acres, this Zhuangzi's 3,000 acres of land, is this place, all Lang Jun's." Huang Zhong gestured with a smile.
Sure enough, across the river, there was also a Zhuangzi.
It turns out that how many households are not the population of the land, but another thing like Yulu.
Zhang Ruoxu regretted it a little.
I feel cheated by Li Shimin.
Fortunately, the 3,000 acres of land here and the 1,000 acres of land on the opposite side are all their own.
Looking at the past, there are a lot of them.
He can be regarded as a small landowner with 4,000 acres of land.
It is now the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and every man can own 100 acres of land, 20 acres of Yongye field, and 80 acres of land after the age of 18.
Therefore, it seems that the current Zhang Ruoxu is really just a small landlord.
However, Zhang Ruoxu still wanted to shout loudly: "Did you see it?" This is my country. ”
Of course, if he dares to say it, it is estimated that he will never be able to appear in Datang again in this life.
Now.
Li Zheng in Xiahe Village was looking at Zhang Ruoxu not far away.
The mood is up and down.
The main reason is that Zhang Ruoxu is too different from ordinary people, and he is afraid to look at it.
I forgot the etiquette for a while.
Finally, after a while.
In the middle of Xiahe Village, a short old man walked out.
"Little old man Zhang Dahan, I have seen the master's house." Li Zheng said with a slight salute.
"The old gentleman is polite." Zhang Ruoxu hurriedly returned the salute.
After all, he grew up with the idea of respecting the old and loving the young.
"Don't wait for the title of Mr., you can't be called Mr., it's a little old man." However, Zhang Dahan couldn't help but panic.
"Then I'll call you Humber." Zhang Ruoxu thought for a while and said, "My surname is also Zhang, maybe we were one family five hundred years ago." ”
He is now their master, and these people are tenants who cultivate land for themselves.
In ancient times, it was still important to respect and humility.
Therefore, Zhang Ruoxu was helpless.
"The lord's family came this time, and we didn't have anything to entertain, so we killed a chicken and asked the lord's family to move." Zhang Dahan said.
I don't know what this lord is like.
I hope it's a kind person.
Otherwise, everyone will be miserable.
As a tenant, you don't have to pay taxes.
But they have to work for the Lord's house.
The products of the field are distributed by the owner's family.
If the host is benevolent, it is estimated that he will be able to eat a few good meals.
If the main family is harsh, it will be miserable.
"Hmm."
Zhang Ruoxu followed forward.
Came to Lizheng's house.
The house is rudimentary and not much furnished.
It was very clean.
"Are you cold?" Zhang Ruoxu sat down, looked at the few people around him who were trembling, and couldn't help asking.
"When you go back to the Lord's house, you ...... It's a bit cold indeed. Zhang Dahan said.
"Then why don't you burn the ondol?" Zhang Ruoxu couldn't help but ask.
"Ondol? What? Zhang Dahan looked puzzled.
"The kang is the ......" Zhang Ruoxu thought about it, it seemed that at this time, they didn't know what the kang was.
"Lao Huang, I see that you have been shivering since you came out of the house, is it very cold in this winter in Chang'an?" Zhang Ruoxu looked at Huang Zhong and asked.
Zhang Ruoxu was wearing a sweater and autumn pants, and he was wearing thick clothes outside, so he didn't feel cold at all.
It's just that when the wind blows, it's a little cold.
I don't know if it's because I was able to travel between the two worlds and transformed my body.
Zhang Ruoxu felt that his body was getting better and better.
"Lang Jun doesn't know something, it's not cold yet." Huang Zhong smiled slightly and said, "When you communicate in winter and spring, it's cold. ”
"At that time, the snow melted, and I could wake up in the middle of the night when I went to sleep." Huang Zhong said.
Zhang Ruoxu couldn't help but secretly admire the physique of the ancients.
This physique is leveraged.
In ancient times, the poor people had no sweaters, no autumn pants, and no down jackets.
Therefore, in winter, it is basically up to the body to resist.
"I have a way, you see, can we cut a kang and burn it when it's cold in winter?" Zhang Ruoxu said.
"Then what is this fire kang?" Zhang Dahan asked again.
Zhang Ruoxu hurriedly explained the principle of the fire kang.
When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but show a glimmer of light.
It seems, it works!
