Since the output of crops has entered the channel of falling prices, the life of the landlord class has not been as good as a year, and of course, the income of the peasants has become more and more unable to catch up with the income of working or engaging in business, which requires a certain tilt in the policy, and the purpose of exempting agricultural taxes is to increase the peasants' income.

However, even if it increases, it is also very limited, after all, the agricultural tax of the Tang Dynasty is only a low tax rate of 30 taxes, even if it is really not taxed, the people have not received much benefit, in the same way, the landlords who hold a large amount of land are strong, and they will not live a good life again because of this tax money, because, after the goods are more and more abundant, and the channels of consumption are more and more, their daily expenses are also larger, so they will not be satisfied, they will find ways to seek new benefits.

Engaging in business has almost become their only choice, however, when they really start to engage in business, they will find that unless you have independent research and development of unique technology, it is difficult to make money, and it depends on the face of the court.

But in this era, where there are so many self-developed technologies, no matter how much you can, you can't compare to those factories in Weinan, so the path they can choose is even narrower, most of them can simply copy some traditional industries.

Traditional industries, in fact, are in the downtown to open shops, entertainment and catering business establishments, etc., but these industries, in the old city, there are already mature markets, are controlled by the old operators, the newly developed market, is controlled by the imperial court, they want to seize these newly developed markets, they must find the imperial court.

The eldest grandson Wuji is now a person who controls the source of the development of these wealthy families, all the powerful families, if they want to share the cake of business, almost all have to look at his face, land approval rights, and the double blessing of the right to operate the mall, anyone who wants to engage in business in an emerging market like Jiangling City has to look at his face.

Therefore, he can use this absolute control of business to help Xiao Yu complete the trivial matter of land allocation, anyway, those lands can't help those landlords make much money now, and they can't seize business shares in emerging markets, and their losses will be huge.

Sun Xiangfu left half of the space in Jiangling City for the eldest grandson Wuji, and there was an intention to facilitate his operation, the land was not sold, and fixed buildings were not built, which did not mean that it was not used, and it could be provided to some temporary business places! I didn't look at the ghost car in Jiuyuan County, just find a vacant land in the city, can you instantly form a bazaar, there is a good business project, the eldest grandson Wuji can also temporarily grant you the same land to operate, as for this temporary, how long is it, it depends on the eldest grandson Wuji's mouth, obedient, just do it for a long time, disobedient, no way.

Leaving the eldest grandson Wuji in the study to write a letter to Xiao Yu to ventilate, Sun Xiangfu came to the living room again, at this time, Ma Lin, Zhang Quan and others were actually held by Wang Xu and others to sit on the seat, which made them a little worried.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhengming for getting his second son, just in time for the New Year, I will send the congratulatory gifts together." Wang Xu made a head, and the rest of the representatives of many families who participated in the monopoly of building materials with him and won the project in Jiangling City also bowed their hands and said goodbye, Sun Xiangfu can see from Uncle De's face that the congratulatory gifts and New Year's gifts sent by these people must be a lot, and they will be given gifts one by one, and then, please sit down and talk.

"There are too many guests, the humble house can't be entertained, today I will charter the Jiuyuan Hotel, you will come to the dinner time later, move with me to eat, and the eldest grandson will also attend."

The eldest grandson Wuji came in one step ahead of them, and before he left, everyone naturally knew that Jiangling City had reached the actual construction and operation stage, and he was the protagonist, and Sun Xiangfu took the opportunity to push him out, just so that he could quickly promote the strategies that Sun Xiangfu talked to him about just now.

"This time, thank you Brother Zhengming for guiding us to operate, and later, our families plan to donate some shares of the industry under their names to Brother Zhengming, and I hope Brother Zhengming will not shirk."

Wang Xu's tone was very sincere, but it made Sun Xiangfu's heart sigh, the emperor had just confiscated his own property, and he pushed these people to give him shares, which seemed to be pushing himself to the opposite side of the emperor!

Moreover, this kind of method, it is not the first time that they have used it, starting from Sun Xiangfu killing Wang Hao, all kinds of small actions of the family group revolve around the relationship between him and Li Shimin, and even, Sun Xiangfu suspects that Wang Xu brought these people over to ask him for advice, and then used his own strategy to win most of the projects in Jiangling, all of which were deliberately showing their abilities to these small and medium-sized families, paving the way for today's gift of shares.

So, what are they going to do here? Establish yourself as a representative of the Maison's interests?

Sun Xiangfu is the most profitable person in the Tang Dynasty, it is recognized, Wang Xu and these family members want to pick up Li Shimin's cheapness, pull a person like him who has been refrigerated by the emperor to his camp, and help their family group make money, which seems very reasonable.

However, Sun Xiangfu thought of something deeper.

If it is said that small and medium-sized families want to make money, Sun Xiangfu will think that this is completely reasonable, after all, judging from the current social situation, the income of these small and medium-sized families is decreasing, but there are more and more places to spend money, and it is normal for them to want to seek change.

But with the Wang family's size, what they are seeking is definitely not as simple as making money, there is a commercially developed city like Dingxiang, there are more than 10 million acres of fertile land in the north, and there are several unique planting methods of cash crops in hand, the Wang family does nothing, and the wealth will continue to increase, for interests, they should not be so eager, will he be a big conspiracy that is linked to each other? But what is the ultimate purpose of their conspiracy?

Sun Xiangfu didn't know what Wang Hao said to Wang Rui when he was alive, so he was not very good at figuring out people's hearts and pondering conspiracies, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, but for the sake of safety, Sun Xiangfu felt that he still refused.

"I didn't do anything, so how could I take the shares of each family for nothing! In addition, Your Majesty has just confiscated my property, and I have opened up a new one, isn't this a shame for Your Majesty?

Therefore, don't mention this matter again, it's good that I'm planting fields here and teaching the people. You come to me to say hello and drink a glass of wine, this is the righteousness of friends, giving too much, for me, it is not beautiful. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't want to say anything more, so he took over and said, "It's that I haven't thought it through, let's not mention this matter for the time being, I'm here today, just to congratulate you for your happy dog, but you are the master, we are guests, you have to accompany us guests to eat and drink well!" ”

"That's nature."

Sun Xiangfu saw that Wang Xu was not too entangled in this issue, so he didn't say much, and after a while, the eldest grandson Wuji also went from the study to the front hall, and everyone went to the Jiuyuan Hotel together, and had a banquet until midnight.

Sun Xiangfu, who returned home with seven or eight points of drunkenness, didn't want to alarm the children at home, and was afraid that the smell of alcohol would hurt Yu Xiu'er, so he asked Uncle De to order someone to prepare a bucket of hot water for him, take a bath and sleep.

When people are alone in a more comfortable environment, they will relax a lot, which leads to the door of the bath room being pushed open, and Sun Xiangfu is not aware of it.

When taking a hot bath on a cold day, someone helped press his head and pinch his shoulders, which was so comfortable that Sun Xiangfu, who was in a half-squinted state, couldn't help but hum.

"Xiu'er! If you're pregnant, don't serve your husband, even though it's comfortable······"

"Is the concubine's technique similar to that of the lady?"

A simple rhetorical question made Sun Xiangfu's hairs almost stand up, because this did not belong to Yu Xiu'er, or the voice of any of the people who were in confinement, Hongmei and Chuntao, was still a female voice.

"Li, Miss Li, you, why did you come to my bathroom."

Suddenly turned around and stood up from the bathtub, Sun Xiangfu remembered that he was taking a bath naked, the little brother, but Li Xiangdie, who was squatting behind the bathtub, looked at it squarely, and realized that something was wrong, Sun Xiangfu hurriedly sat down in the bathtub again, and his face was flushed.

Li Xiangdie, who looked at Sun Xiangfu completely, was just a little ashamed on her face, looking at Sun Xiangfu who was panicked, she felt a little funny, this is a man with several children, why are he still ashamed in front of women, and said, "Does the husband still want to call the concubine Miss Li?" ”

"Ahh This, Miss Li, I don't call you that, how can I call you? This, I'm a man, even if I am seen by you, you don't need to be responsible, you don't have to promise yourself. Sun Xiangfu, who was squatting in the bathtub and covering his crotch with his hand, stammered a little.

Li Xiangdie seemed to have expected Sun Xiangfu to say this, and took out a marriage letter from the pocket in his arms and said, "This is a marriage letter signed by a woman, even if you think that the concubine is old and yellow, I am afraid that this matter will not be changed." ”

Seeing the black and white words in Li Xiangdie's hand, Sun Xiangfu was even more confused, he remembered that Yu Xiu'er seemed to have told him something like this before, "Ah! This, this marriage letter, it was not signed by me! ”

When Sun Xiangfu said this, he was suddenly stunned, he thought of the new law mentioned by Yu Xiuer when he told him about this before, it seems that in order to encourage marriage and childbearing, the imperial court is very lenient about the matter of taking concubines, and the marriage letter signed by the wife is also legal, and even if the wife does not agree to divorce the concubine, the husband cannot drive the concubine out of the house at will, after all, the imperial court now attaches great importance to population development, and the social problem of many boys and girls is very serious, and many ministers even propose to encourage qualified civilians to take concubines.

At this moment when Sun Xiangfu was stunned, Li Xiangdie's tears poured out of her eyes like a flood that broke the embankment.

"It's the concubine who shouldn't have such delusions, the concubine, I'll find my wife tomorrow and dissolve this marriage letter·····"

Seeing Li Xiangdie's tears, Sun Xiangfu suddenly softened, he has been a man for two lives, what he is most afraid of is that women cry in front of him, but fortunately, Yu Xiuer is a woman who does not cry easily.

"You wait, wait, I'm not saying I won't marry you, it's just that I just feel a little sudden, this thing! I also discussed it with Xiu'er before. ”

"Really?" Hearing Sun Xiangfu say this, Li Xiangdie's tearful eyes soon erupted with a strong surprise, and she looked at Sun Xiangfu burningly.

All right! A plump woman like Li Xiangdie, although she is not Sun Xiangfu's ideal type, she does have her unique beauty, after all, she is an Oiran-level character.

When being stared at by such a beautiful woman with a burning gaze, Sun Xiangfu, who was already a little drunk, suddenly felt hot, and the micro-expressions produced by this feeling were all seen by Li Xiangdie, and she took it for granted that Sun Xiangfu had feelings for her.

"That, there is one thing, I have to state to you, it may be some of the educational reasons I received since I was a child, I think that a man should only be loyal to one woman, but the current situation in society is that a man must be combined with multiple women, otherwise, more than half of the women may not be able to marry, it's just that that kind of education is still affecting me when I was a child, so even if I marry you as a concubine, but in my heart, Xiu'er is also the most important." Sun Xiangfu really couldn't find any good words, so he had to tell Li Xiangdie honestly.

"Of course, a wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine, how can a concubine be compared with a wife! You only love your wife, rightfully so! ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was speechless, he didn't understand why the ancients had such strange thoughts, but in the eyes of the current society, it seems that he himself is the strange one.
