Chapter 35: Starting Today, Build a Zhuangzi [Two in One]
At the beginning of Gaoyang, the noise in Chang'an City is unabated, and the vendors everywhere are wandering around the streets, and caravans from all over the country are wandering around.
In the Wing Country Mansion, birds fall on the autumn trees, and the chirping is annoying.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
Getting up early, Fang Chen sat under the tree in the courtyard, waiting for today's meeting, you know, this may be the best opportunity to borrow money!
The founding horse of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the position of the prince of the country, can definitely be called a stable backer.
However, thinking of his mother, Fang Chen began to hesitate again, "Wouldn't it be bad to speak directly?" ”
As for the matter of recognizing his father, Fang Chen didn't think about it at all, and even said that the nutrition money he asked for was fundamentally borrowed!
If you want to repay the money, you also have to repay the favor, since Chai Shao is willing to deign to see him, and Qin Qiong has taken care of him for so long.
Fang Chen is not a person who does not know what to do, but in many ways, the psychology of adults makes him unwilling to owe others, which is why he is extremely resistant when he finds out that Qin Qiong takes good care of himself.
Money is easy to borrow, but human favor is hard to repay.
Chai Shao's side, he owes his mother, so whether it is Chai Shao or his two sons and Pingyang's two sons, in the future, whenever there is a need, Fang Chen will never say anything.
"Master, Master Guogong, please go to the main hall."
Liu reported outside the house, as for why he didn't go in? Fang Chen also wants face, he is not used to showing others his "petite" body every day.
"Got it."
Fang Chen replied, then rearranged the extremely cumbersome Tang costume and strode forward.
What should come will come after all, and he also wants to know what Chai Shao thinks of himself.
Walking to the main hall, there are two big men sitting in the hall, one is the bad old man Qin Qiong, and the other is a little strange.
"Fang Chen, I've seen Yiguo Gong!"
Worship the master before entering the hall, unless the other one is the Tang Emperor, otherwise this rule still has to be said.
"Here, let me introduce you, this is Huo Guogong, Princess Pingyang's husband, Chai Shao!"
Fang Chen turned around and bowed slightly to Chai Shao, "Fang Chen, I've seen Huo Guogong!" ”
Chai Shao hurriedly got up, "No need to be polite, you and I have a relationship." ”
Fang Chen nodded, sure enough, Chai Shao was really his cheap "father...... It's a pity that he didn't know that Chai Shao was not talking about this relationship, but another layer, he should call Chai Shao his uncle......
Sitting down everywhere, Fang Chen asked, "Huo Guogong, I wonder if Yi Guogong told you what I said?" ”
Chai Shao nodded, "Shubao has already told me, don't worry, I have sent someone to prepare it for you." ”
Fang Chen nodded, and then said, "I don't know where Huo Guogong plans to arrange me?" ”
Chai Shao's face stiffened, and he peeked at Qin Qiong, hoping that he would give him a hint, but now he doesn't understand what this master means.
Qin Qiong held back a smile and coughed lightly, and then accosted, "Fang Chen, in Chang'an County, there are several fiefdoms, you can choose from them." ”
"Around Chang'an County?"
Fang Chen scratched his head, no, Chai Shao dared to put himself near Chang'an? Aren't you worried about being discovered, the son of a princess who suddenly appeared?
Chai Shao nodded again and again, "Yes, there are six fiefs given by His Majesty, thousands of acres for the big ones, and hundreds of acres for the small ones, I don't know where your intentions are?" ”
Fang Chen's face was a little distorted, after all, when he saw Chai Shao's old face licking a dog, he was very suspicious, was he a fake?
Fortunately, Qin Qiong coughed again, and Chai Shao knew that his expression was wrong, so he hurriedly became serious.
"Whatever you want, rest assured, I will never go around preaching our relationship."
Fang Chen watched Chai Shao return to normal, and only thought that this guy was afraid of the princess, and he was also afraid that he was afraid that if he was the princess's illegitimate son, he was afraid that his old face would be disgraced.
Qin Qiong's face was also a little strange, the stinky boy really guessed some messy things, and regarded himself as the illegitimate son of Princess Pingyang?
"That...... Fang Chen, apart from the earth, what else do you lack? ”
Seeing that Fang Chen knew that he had a place to accommodate him, he walked in place safely and did not speak, which made Qin Qiong finally forced him to secretly remind him to ask for more things.
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, "There is no shortage, there is land, and the rest don't have to bother the two princes, but I don't know where are those homeless people who came to Beijing with me at the beginning?" ”
"Outcasts? What do you ask them for? ”
Fang Chen rolled his eyes, "If you don't look for them, who will farm for me?" Who built me a house? ”
Chai Shao smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, there are tenants in the fiefdom assigned to you, if it is not enough, you can come to me at any time, and you are equipped with a guard of three hundred people, a thousand yuan of silver, do you think it is enough?" ”
Fang Chen was taken aback, "What do I want so many people to do?" And a thousand more! If I spend it all, when will I pay you back? ”
The purchasing power of this thousand yuan is worth tens of millions in later generations, after all, a house is only a few hundred dollars.
Qin Qiong and Chai Shao frowned, because they heard the word "yet"! Co-author, this master, still thinking about paying back?
That's not possible, if you let Your Majesty and Niangniang know, you still think they forced it, no! This is absolutely not going to work!
Chai Shao waved his hand again and again, "No need, you don't have to pay back this money." ”
Fang Chen was a little stunned, why was he a little weird? Looking at the two of them with suspicion, are you all really Tang nobles?
It's strange, Datang is all bad and good people?
Could it be that your previous conjecture was wrong? In addition to being husband and wife, Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang are not in a good relationship? If you look at this Chai Shao, you estimate that you are better for yourself than for his own son.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Qin Qiong hurriedly interjected: "That's the princess's money, it should belong to you." ”
Receiving the signal from Qin Qiong, Chai Shao immediately realized and echoed: "In addition, there are some old people who followed the princess before, you can accept them together, and you don't need to worry about their loyalty." ”
Fang Chen shook his head, "The things left by my mother naturally have to be given to my two younger brothers, I am just an adopted son, how can I grab things with my younger brothers, Huo Guogong, I understand your kindness, for me, Chang'an is just a station on the journey." ”
After that, he stepped forward, picked a title deed at random, and Fang Chen left.
Chai Shao cried silently, "Shubao, you said that we are like this, will Your Majesty agree?" ”
Qin Qiong touched her forehead worriedly, "I don't know, the old man is also a little worried!" ”
To say that this Fang Chen is also an eccentric person, judging from his performance after entering the Qin Mansion, he doesn't look like a child at all.
In the past, Qin Qiong thought that he was stubborn, but after yesterday's incident, Qin Qiong immediately improved, and at the same time realized that this so-called stubbornness was just an excuse to throw him out of the house.
It's all pretended!
They didn't know that Fang Chen, who returned to his room, held the title deed with trembling hands.
"A thousand acres! God, how much does this cost? ”
As soon as he thought that he had immediately become a landlord, Fang Chen was a little absent-minded, no, he couldn't be corrupted by this kind of good life, Datang was not the place he should be, and he must not leave a memory when he should leave.
"Liu! Take Qiao'er and let's go! ”
With a shout, Fang Chen decided to move to his field today.
Fang Chen didn't take into account one thing, that is, the fiefdoms around Chang'an City, especially Chai Shao could get it if he said it? Especially the terrible number of thousands of acres and five or six thousand.
You must know that most of the fiefdoms of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are far away from Chang'an!
Liu ran back to the room excitedly, picked up the young girl, and carried Chen's backpack on his back.
Fang Chen slapped his head, Lao Tzu's gun was still in Qin Qiong's hand!
Looking at the big bag behind Liu, Fang Chen hesitated for a moment, and then smiled lightly, "Forget it, it's just the accommodation fee, anyway, without bullets, he can't play for too long." ”
When he left the mansion, more than 30 guards gathered behind him.
"In the position of the Duke of Guo, escort Xiao Fang Ye to the fiefdom."
Fang Chen couldn't refuse, so he could only ask the leader, "How do you call the eldest brother?" ”
"You can't call Xiao Fangye, your subordinates have the surname of the country, and Xiao Fangye can directly call your subordinates Lao Qin."
"Old Qin? The family soldier of the Wing Guogong? ”
Lao Qin nodded, stepped aside, and didn't talk nonsense.
Outside the mansion gate, the Qin family hugged Qin Huaidao and sent Fang Chen together with Qin Huaiyu.
"Auntie, why did you come out?"
The Qin family asked Yun'er to hand over a package to the Liu family, and said with a smile: "Inside is the silver taels I prepared for you, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to the mansion to find me at any time." ”
Qin Huaiyu also took out the things he had prepared, "Fang Chen, this is a horse I prepared for you, my parents are both thousands of horses, and now they are only eight months old, when you grow up, you will be able to use it." ”
Fang Chen looked at the white horse that Qin Huaiyu was holding in his hand, which was very familiar.
"Isn't this the offspring of the bad old man's wind-chasing horse? Why did you bring it here? ”
Moved in his heart, with tears in his eyes, Fang Chen held back, thanked Qin, and then patted Qin Huaiyu's back, "If you have time, come to play with your brother, what do you want, my brother will get it for you!" ”
Datang, that's good!
Hello people! Friendship is better!
I thought that with a business and his own gun, Fang Chen would not owe Qin Qiong and the Yiguo Mansion, but now it seems that what he thinks is too simple.
Qin Huaiyu is here, but he sent a big favor.
During the Tang Dynasty, in the aristocratic circle, the most valuable thing was a BMW.
He bowed deeply to the two of them, "Fang Chen is from the mountains, he doesn't know how to be polite, he has entered the mansion thanks to his aunt's care, and he is grateful in his heart, if there is anything, call someone to call me in that fiefdom, and be on call!" ”
The Qin clan hurriedly helped Fang Chen up, and wiped away Fang Chen's tears with a smile, this kid is really distressing sometimes.
Young people, so mature, how can the price be seen in general?
Fang Chen didn't know that in an alley a hundred meters away, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian were disguised and looked at him secretly.
"Xiao Yu'er, my mother really can't wait to bring you into the palace and restore the position of prince for you!"
"Xiao Yu'er, don't worry, soon I will find a way to let you enter the palace, and as for restoring your throne, I will have a way!"
The moment he left the Yiguo Mansion, he couldn't help but turn around and imprint the Wingguo Mansion in his mind, Datang, it's really good!
The Chang'an County Order, leading the officials of all sizes in the county, waited anxiously at an intersection.
Soon after, a carriage slowly arrived, surrounded by thirty guards and a pony.
This is exactly Fang Chen and his party, when they got close, Fang Chen got out of the car.
"Minister, Chang'an County Order, Pei Xuanji has seen Xiao Fangye."
Fang Chen hurriedly returned the salute as usual, "I'm tired of the county commander, I don't know what the lord is waiting for Fang Chen here?" ”
This is the Chang'an County Order, how to say that he is also a big official, he may have to deal with him more in the future, Fang Chen naturally has to be polite.
Pei Xuanji said with a smile: "The two princes have asked the sage for the will, if Xiao Fang Ye has any needs in the future, he can find this county order at any time." ”
Don't dare to hold it up, this is the person that the sage likes, even if he is a little baby, Pei Xuanji must ensure the number of courtesies.
Fang Chen hurriedly nodded and replied, "Thank you for the county order, you have a lot of opportunities, and you still need to ensure your health." ”
Pei Xuanji leaned sideways and gave way, "Little Fangye, please!" ”
Fang Chen didn't understand, but he also understood that he didn't have the ability to let him respect, so he was still extremely respectful in his attitude.
With Pei Xuanji leading the way, it was only an hour before he arrived at the land that Fang Chen had obtained.
"I'll send Xiao Fang Ye here, Chang'an County is just to the east, Xiao Fang Ye can send someone to call me at any time if necessary."
Fang Chen didn't dare to say anything, people would give you a way to protect your face, and remind all the tenants on the side of the road that Fang Chen's days would be a lot in the future.
"Lao Qin, thank you, since you have arrived at the place, should you ......?"
"Puff ......"
I just wanted to say that I wanted the family to go back, but I saw Lao Qin kneeling down with the thirty guards.
"By the decree of the Wing Kingdom, in the future, I will respect Xiao Fangye, and please accept us."
"Please also ask Xiao Fang Ye to accept us!"
Fang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, his face was very entangled.
Xindao: Winter is coming, the land is there, and now even his subordinates have been sent over, he is the life of a local lord!
"Okay, you guys get up, but I have a word first, now I don't have that much money to support you, I haven't seen this place yet, I really don't know what to do in the future."
Lao Qin and the others smiled unabated, got up and said: "Xiao Fangye, rest assured, a thousand acres of land, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, twenty percent of the tenants, two percent of the government's, and the rest are yours!" ”
"How much? Not good! Not good! ”
Fang Chen shook his head anxiously, didn't he force his subordinates to rebel? Twenty percent? What is enough to eat?
Lao Qin hurriedly grabbed Fang Chen and explained to him, "The big clan is all this rule, Xiao Fang Ye doesn't have to worry, there are definitely a lot of half of them, all the tenants are living under you, it is impossible to be dissatisfied." ”
Fang Chen knew that the exploitation of the ancient landlords was serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
In fact, he was wrong, this price was not set by the landlords, and now that the war has just been settled, Li Shimin will specify this rule in order to stabilize the poor and homeless, in order to allow the family to collect more homeless people.
After the famine year, this rule will be changed.
Think it's less? In fact, half of it, definitely a lot, enough for those tenants to eat, and in winter, they still have to rely on wild vegetable roots and bark.
What's more, what is Fang Chen's identity? Ninety percent of his tenants came out of the army, so can Li Shimin treat his own children badly?
"Let's go explore the land first, and we'll take care of the rest."
Fang Chen couldn't help it, so he could only divert the topic.
"Yes!"
Twenty people were accompanied, and the other ten accompanied Liu's mother and daughter to the house to clean up.
This mansion was originally owned by Princess Pingyang, so it was preserved quite completely, and now it was given to Fang Chen without any problems.
Empress Changsun sent nearly 100 slaves and maids before and after, in order to ensure that her little Yu'er would suffer less.
Fang Chen also thought that those people were originally the people around his mother, so naturally he wouldn't ask more.
A whole piece of land, a total of 1,000 acres, an average of 10 acres of households, 120 tenant farmers, of which the elderly and three.
"Go and gather everyone, the master has something to say!"
"Yes!"
After a short time, all the 120 households arrived, Fang Chen looked at it, it sounded like a lot, but in fact, there were only two or three people in one household.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the one next to me is your future master's family, Xiao Fangye."
As soon as Lao Qin introduced, the black pressure in front of him fell to his knees, and Fang Chen jumped up anxiously.
"Hurry up!" "Ouch, you're so old, didn't kneeling me make me lose my life?"
"Little baby, get up, it's cold on the ground!"
“......”
Fang Chen stepped forward one by one to help them up, which could be regarded as recognizing their faces, and then said: "I am the owner of this land, but it is only temporary, you are tenants, to put it bluntly, you are also working for me, don't kneel in the future!" ”
The tenants turned their heads to each other and said in their hearts: This lord, I don't understand what he said!
Lao Qin took a step forward and shouted, "Xiao Fang Ye said, you are not allowed to kneel in the future!" ”
"Benevolence!"
"Little Fang Ye is benevolent!"
"This new master should be sincere and kind......"
The praises came one after another, Fang Chen's face was slightly embarrassed, and when everyone calmed down, "In the future, this place will be called Xiaofangzhuang, if you have any problems, you can come to me!" ”
Unable to say anything to mobilize, Fang Chen's heart was a little confused. Today is a brief acquaintance, but it will take a few days to really talk and do things.
After finishing speaking, he left with Lao Qin and them, this place is not rich, a thousand acres sounds like a lot, but in fact, there are only a few hundred fertile fields that can be used, and the rest are weeds and wasteland.
"It seems that you have to sum it up, such a poor Zhuangzi, if you don't do it well, how can you have a good life?"
