Chapter 44: The Devil Enters the Village (Seventh Update)

On the second day, the imperial court gave the guards to Li Su, the king of Liang, all in place, and went to the palace of the king of Liang to report.

The 800 households for King Liang also came down, and the place was located in two villages north of Chang'an City.

Originally, as a prince, as long as he left the palace and stayed in the prince's palace, these titles would follow.

But Li Su was too anxious, he just received the news here, and he couldn't wait to move there.

Those princes in the past, didn't they still procrastinate and refused to relocate after receiving the will?

Only Li Su is an alternative, who moves so fast that the court is caught off guard.

It's been a few days since I moved out, and only today is that the personnel are in place.

And, as a royal palace, Li Su could recruit officials in the palace on his own, which was called Kaifu.

And the 800 food seals given to King Liang were to ensure King Liang's luxurious life.

In the palace of King Liang, the guards saluted Li Su, the king of Liang, and said, "The last general, Gao Fan, meet His Royal Highness King Liang." ”

When Li Su looked at Gao Fan, he found that Gao Fan was seven feet seven feet tall, with eagle eyes and a high nose bridge, and a rebellious aura exuded from his body.

However, when facing Li Su, his attitude was quite respectful.

Li Su nodded and said to Gao Fan: "General Gao, in the future, you will be under the account of this king, guarding the safety of this king, and you will not be so outside in the future." Okay, you go and settle your subordinates first, and then come to see me when it's settled. ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Liang."

Li Su looked at his 1,000 guards again, and found that the 1,000 people were all new recruits, and there was not a single veteran.

These recruits have just joined the army, and they are not even proficient in the basic movements between the ranks.

Seeing this scene, Li Su's face couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

Li Su believes that Li Tai's escort soldiers will definitely not be this kind of goods.

It looks like someone is secretly making trouble.

And this kind of thing, you can't sue yet, you can only suffer this dumb loss.

But fortunately, for Li Su, the newcomer is better than the veteran.

Because many veterans have become oil, oil and salt do not enter, and it is difficult to adjust.

And although the recruits don't understand anything, the advantage happens to be that they don't understand anything, and the plasticity is high.

And Li Su's food seal is in the two villages in the north of the city, Beiwu City and Nanwu City.

For the prince's food seal, during the Zhenguan period, a three-point system was adopted.

The tax is collected by the eaters themselves, and the tax is divided into three parts, one of which is paid to the treasury and the other two are for their own enjoyment.

Of course, this is only the case in the early Tang Dynasty.

By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were more and more food seals, 1,000 households, 1,500 households, 2,000 households, and even later 4,500 or even 6,000 households.

In the later period, the collection of taxes also relied on the assistance of local prefectural ordinances.

And now, because Li Su's food seals are only 800 households, they are all collected by themselves.

Therefore, when the food seal was sealed, Li Yu decided to go to his own food seal place to take a look.

An hour later, all the 1,000 guards were settled, and the pawn Gao Fan came to see Li Su again.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, his subordinate Gao Pan came at the order."

Li Su nodded, and then said to Gao Fan: "General Gao, in the afternoon, you take fifty soldiers and go with me to the two villages of Beiwu City and Nanwu City. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the afternoon, Li Su rode a small white horse, took Shen Wei, Gao Pan and fifty guards, and went straight to the north of the city.

After leaving the city, he walked more than ten miles and arrived at the villages where he was fed, Beiwu City and Nanwu City.

The two villages are close to each other, close to the mountains and rivers, and the fields are mostly paddy fields.

Far away, Li Su saw a group of children rolling in the mud at the entrance of the village.

In his previous life and present life, Li Su hadn't seen this scene for a long time, but when he saw it now, he suddenly felt extremely cordial.

However, something happened to Li Su's extreme consternation.

The children, startled by the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, spotted their group, and seemed to recognize that the white horse in the middle was King Liang.

Then these little guys suddenly dispersed, shouting as they ran: "Quick, King Liang is here with someone, close the door quickly!" ”

"Sister, sister, King Liang is here, you hide quickly!"

"Aunt Seven, come into the house and hide, King Liang is here!"

Next, there was a faint panicked voice in the village.

There are also scolding voices from adults.

"Little rabbit, you shut up Lao Tzu, what are you doing so loudly?"

"Shouting so loudly, do you want to die? Let King Liang hear that you have to pick your skin! ”

Hearing these voices, Li Su couldn't help but gasp.

you, your seventh uncle and grandmother! Is His Highness so unbearable?

Why did you see that the main hall came down, as if the devil had entered the village?

Nima, not only do my sisters and sisters have to hide, but even Aunt Seven has to hide? How hungry and thirsty is this, Your Highness?

His Royal Highness's reputation has actually deteriorated to such an extent?

It seems that His Highness hasn't done anything hurtful, right?

At the same time that Li Su was depressed, the guards who followed Li Su's side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they were very hard.

Finally, when Li Su's team came to the entrance of the village, someone in the village greeted him.

A gray-haired old man, along with a dozen villagers, hurried forward to meet him.

After Li Su and the others dismounted, the old man immediately said: "Xiaomin is the Lizheng Liushan of Wucheng Village, and leads the villagers to meet His Royal Highness King Liang. ”

Li Su said amiably: "The old man doesn't need to be polite, His Royal Highness is here to see the situation in the village, you are busy with you, don't worry about Your Highness." ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Liang was so easy to speak, Li Zheng Liushan, he suddenly felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Liang can come to the village, and it will suddenly make the village shine!" However, this village has just paid taxes a few years ago, and if His Royal Highness King Liang collects taxes now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the villagers to gather them for a while, which-"

Huo, when His Royal Highness is here to collect taxes, is His Highness that kind of person?

The purpose of His Highness's visit this time-huh? What are you doing?

In fact, Li Su really didn't have any purpose or motive for coming this time, this time he came just to see what his food fiefdom was like.

So, Li Su couldn't help but say: "Old man, His Royal Highness came this time not to collect taxes, but to come to the village to see how the villagers are doing. ”

Liu Shan immediately said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Xiaomin, thank you to Your Highness on behalf of all the villagers!" ”

The village is not big, and there are quite a few men working outside.

When everyone saw Li Su, they greeted him respectfully.

However, what made Li Su extremely speechless was that he had almost visited the entire village, but he didn't find even a single woman.

Not to mention a young girl, even a little girl as young as three years old, and an old lady as old as eighty years old, I haven't seen one.
