Chapter 20: Prisoner! Traitor

At dinner, Sun Xiangfu summoned the whole village to say a few words, mainly telling everyone not to worry, to produce with peace of mind, those people in the day are just clowns jumping off the beam, and they have a way to deal with it, and then he ordered Sun Dali to lead the strong men to guard the door and hide the entrance of each cellar, and he himself drove the clipper made by Yang Laohan to Chang'an early the next morning.

"Caijin is moving! These families are really a trouble. Qin Qiong got Uncle De's report, and immediately saw Sun Xiangfu, and after listening to Sun Xiangfu's story, her brows furrowed.

Nowadays, the wind of eating fish in Chang'an City is prevalent, and the new stir-fried dishes such as stir-fried eel silk have been sold to 500 wen a plate in the restaurant, and only the guests who arrive early can eat it, and the profit of this dish alone is more than 400 wen, it is conceivable that the restaurant industry in Chang'an City has attracted gold in recent times, and these restaurants are naturally not opened by those upstarts who followed Li Shimin to fight the world, they have just made a fortune, but they do not have this financial resources, so behind these old shops are all old families, and most of the seven sects and five names occupy more than half.

The profiteering industry that is advancing day by day will naturally get the attention of the family, so Sun Xiangfu is sad. However, since the eyes of the seven sects and five surnames are focused on himself, then Sun Xiangfu doesn't want to sit still, he would rather give the fish to the emperor than to these families, after all, Li Tang's boat is more reliable than the family, but he can't imagine that it is the helmsman of the boat who thinks that he wants to pit his fish to eat, so there is today's scene, Li Shimin is not Li Yuan, the family is often the object that can be used in his hands.

"Yigong, can I ask Your Majesty to incorporate Happy Village into Huangzhuang?"

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded appreciatively towards Sun Xiangfu and said, "Perhaps, this is also a way!" The old man entered the palace and asked to see His Majesty. ”

Yesterday Li Shimin ascended the throne, and today's name has changed. Moreover, Li Shimin has also officially entered the Taiji Palace, and it is not as convenient as the previous Qin Palace.

Sun Xiangfu was anxiously waiting in the Qin family, now those families can casually send a team of private soldiers to destroy the Happy Village, and besides, the case may not be resolved, so he can't be in a hurry! This is the cruel side of feudal society, ordinary people, life is like a mustard.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, was a little high-spirited, and he was shaking his hand to review the chapters! Qin Qiong was led by the chamberlain to his imperial case.

"Uncle Bao is in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"

After a simple salute, Qin Qiong told Li Shimin about some of the things that happened here in Sun Xiangfu, who expected, Li Shimin was not surprised at all, but just asked Qin Qiong to go back first, and then he had a will to go to his mansion.

After Qin Qiong left, Li Shimin said to the internal servant Wang De, "The decree drafted two days ago can be read in the Qin Mansion." ”

After Wang Deyong left, Li Shimin put down the imperial pen, and his eyes were full of depth.

The big family made him love and hate, and used them to govern the world with half the effort, but these big families only had family interests in their eyes, and they had no loyalty to the monarch at all.

No way, whoever is the emperor, with their innate conditions, can live freely, and occasionally do something that provokes the imperial power, but you don't dare to touch him, which makes Li Shimin, who has a strong desire to control, feel very passive, he himself is in power and can play with them, if a hundred years later, the descendants are a little weaker, I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of by these families, you know, Li Shimin himself was born in a family, and he knows how terrible the ambition that erupts when the power accumulates to a certain extent.

In Qin's mansion, when he learned that the chamberlain was going to come to announce the decree, he prepared the incense case in advance, and Fu Bo also let Sun Xiangfu bathe and change into decent clothes.

"The Divine Decree to ······"

The eunuch Wang De, whose face was as white as paper, unfolded a roll of yellow silk and read it for a long time, and finally finished reading it when Sun Xiangfu's knees were a little painful.

"Uh, that, should I thank Lord Ron?" Sun Xiangfu was a little confused.

"Well, your official position, it's not bad to say that." Qin Qiong nodded.

"Uh, other officials are different?" Sun Xiangfu was surprised.

"It's a little different, from now on, you will be His Majesty's retainer." Wang Deyong gave Qin Qiong a bow salute and took over the words.

"Retainers? Crooked? ”

"The lower pastoral supervisor, the official position under the seventh grade, but it does not belong to the courtier sequence, it is an official position to manage the royal property for His Majesty······" Qin Qiong was afraid that Sun Xiangfu would be rude in front of the inner servant, so she slowly explained to him.

After listening to Qin Qiong's words, Sun Xiangfu finally knew what kind of official he was, according to the old practice, the entire Shanglin Yuan belonged to the royal manor, with tens of thousands of hectares of fields, large mountains and forests, pastures, ponds and lakes, so he set up an official position to manage the Huangzhuang of Shanglin Yuan, called Shanglin Yuan Supervisor, the official position is on the sixth grade, because it is equivalent to the middle pastoral supervisor, it is also called the middle pastoral supervisor, one level lower than the director of Gong Wan, but the management of the imperial village is a foreign minister, and there is a professionalism, and there is no need to castrate.

Under the middle pastoral superintendent, there is a pastoral superintendent, which is an official position from the sixth grade, in charge of the four categories of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in Huangzhuang, and Sun Xiangfu is now given, that is, the position of the lower pastoral supervisor, but the director of the lower pastoral supervisor generally does not set up a supervisor, and will directly set up a deputy supervisor, set up this supervisor, which is to ask him to act as one of the lower pastoral supervisors, so Li Shimin named the fishery department to manage the Huangzhuang fishery in the holy decree.

Sun Xiangfu always felt uncomfortable when he heard his official title, a prisoner, a traitor, and a dizzy.

The official under the seventh grade is not small, almost the same level as the county order of a middle and lower county, although it is not a courtier series, the status is lower than the same level, but as a starting point into the office, it is not bad, anyway, Sun Xiangfu does not know whether the emperor's retainers are counted as entering the office, and what he doesn't know is that this series of officials, to do the pastoral supervisor is over, and it is just a position from the fifth grade, generally only those noble children and clan members will serve here.

received the official disc of the holy decree, and the official uniform and official seal were sent by their own internal attendants, and what is surprising is that there is also an official horse, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are equipped with official horses, this is the system.

With these things, Sun Xiangfu can be regarded as an official, and the emperor has set a deadline for him to report to the Pastoral Supervision Office within three days without delay.

After figuring out the content of the holy decree, Sun Xiangfu inquired with Wang Deyong about the location of the yamen of the Pastoral Supervision Office, the name of the official, etc., before sending him out with Qin Qiong.

"Blessed! In the future, you will be an official, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, maintain the dignity of the court, with Your Majesty's attitude, those families will not be too out of line. Qin Qiong advised, Sun Xiangfu nodded again and again and said yes, but Qin Qiong was no longer a verbose person, and after explaining two sentences, he asked him to go back to the village to make arrangements, and announce his identity, and then report to the imperial city, no way, the yamen of the pastoral supervision office is in the imperial city.

When Sun Xiangfu arrived at Xingfu Village by boat in the afternoon of the next day, he found that a big stone archway was set up at the entrance of the village, and the four words "Royal Farm" were engraved in the center of the archway, and when his boat was stable, there were actually a few people wearing official clothes to meet him at the small pier in front of the village.

"Zhang Shengye, Li Wenbin, Hao Tong, and Xiong Tingzhong, the clerks of the Fisheries Department of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Bureau, have met Lord Supervisor."

"Uh, a few of you are exempt."

The first time someone bent down to salute him, Sun Xiangfu was still a little uncomfortable, and none of the four people who saluted him were younger than thirty years old.

After walking a few steps ashore, Sun Xiangfu remembered to ask, "Is there anything wrong with the few of you coming here?" ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and Zhang Shengye took the lead in reporting to Sun Xiangfu, "Your Majesty has issued an order to accept Xingfu Village into Huangzhuang, and we are ordered to come to set up a memorial arch and count the fields and population in the village." ”

"Will everything here belong to Your Majesty in the future?" Sun Xiangfu feels a little bit like his things have been taken away by someone, and, looking at the posture of these people, it seems that he has been prepared, and he is doing things while he is away, is he being cheated?

"No, according to the usual practice, each imperial village only needs to provide output according to the documents listed in the inner palace, and the remaining part can be distributed by the bankers themselves, and now half of the land in Xingfu Village has been divided by His Majesty into your professional field, and when the palace is levied, the amount will be reduced accordingly.

In addition, the Fisheries Department has 16 officials, in addition to our four people, there are 5 people in the office, and the remaining seven are vacant, and there are 120 servants, and there are 35 people in the office. Now, you are the acting shepherd, so you will be responsible for distributing the money from these people in the future······"
