Chapter 109: Domineering Side Leak
Guangwangfu,
Zhu Youneng surrounded the back of his father's buttocks: "Dad, three hundred hectares of land, the child needs to use it."
After all, he is the emperor, and it is difficult for Li Ji to come forward when it comes to farming, so he has to do it in the name of Zhu Youneng.
And Zhu Youneng can't tell his father that this is the emperor wants to rent land, so it is not enough for you to deal with the affairs of an imperial kingdom, and if you still want to farm the land, the imperial history will inevitably impeach him.
The ministers of the Tang Dynasty are no less than the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, just look at Wei Zheng. It's just that you are really a faint king, the more holy you are, the more civil officials will admonish each other with death.
Because the civil officials knew that a wise emperor would not do anything to them if he cared about his reputation. If the emperor makes the slightest mistake, they will surely attack him en masse.
Like Dugu and Cui Yuan, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
In fact, Li Ji also knows that these clear streams are for the good of the Tang Dynasty. I am high up and do not eat the fireworks of the world, and it is easy to make some unrealistic decisions. As long as there are these ministers who are not afraid of death, they can prevent trouble before it happens.
So he tinkered with the crops, he didn't want to make too much noise, and Zhu Youneng, a loser, was the best backstabber.
"No, three hundred hectares, our family has a total of four hundred hectares, what are you going to do here?" Zhu Quanyu knows what kind of character his son is, if he is willing to farm, unless the sun comes out of the west.
"Daddy, I don't think I can go on in such a decadence." Zhu Youneng swore and said.
Zhu Quanyu thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"
"I want to be motivated," Zhu Youneng patted his chest: "Dad, give me these three hundred hectares of land, and I'll go farming."
Zhu Quanyu felt that he was living a hell in broad daylight, this loser didn't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and studied farming?
"What the hell are you messing with? Four hundred hectares of land, we are keeping food for the people under us. Let you take the scourge, there are so many people in our house, what do you let them eat? Let's drink the northwest wind as a family. ”
In fact, Li Ji only rented 200 hectares, and as soon as Zhu Youneng heard that the emperor was willing to pay rent, when he looked for his father, it immediately became 300 hectares.
"Don't we have a book, Your Majesty has issued a letter. Guangwang has 5,000 households in the food estate, and 700 households are sealed, which is enough for us to eat. Zhu Youneng grabbed this handle.
Zhu Quanyu was angry: "This has been fighting for many years, whether these 700 households can afford it is another matter." In the event of a disaster or something, the people themselves are still not full, how can they come to eat for you! ”
The 700 households of the food eup, which means that the court has set aside the land of 700 households, and the annual taxes of these 700 households are not handed over to the state, but to the eaters.
In May of the first year of Yongtai, Jingzhao Yin Wuqi asked Xia Mai to pay an official tax of one mu per ten mu, in an attempt to implement the ancient eleventh tax system, which was actually an increase in land tax.
In the fourth year of the Great Calendar, there were several orders on the taxation of acres of land, and the regulations in March of the fifth year were that the summer tax of Jingzhao Prefecture was six liters of tax per mu of upper fields and four liters of tax per mu of lower fields; Autumn tax, five liters per mu tax on the field, and three liters per mu tax on the lower field.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty: Middle-aged men and Ding men over the age of 18 were each given 80 acres of land and 20 acres of Yongye field. Forty acres of land for old men and disabled people, and thirty acres for widows and concubines; If these people are the heads of households, each of them will receive 20 acres of Yongye land and 30 acres of land.
It's terrifying, a man can divide 100 acres of land.
Don't be intimidated by this horrific statistic, the ancient land was barren and needed to be cultivated in rotation. That is to say, planting for one year and resting for two years, commonly known as raising land.
The high-quality land only produces about 200 catties of corn per mu, and there are only more than 100 catties left after excluding chaff and the like, and the general land can only harvest 70 or 80 catties of grain.
A family of five has an annual income of only seven or eight hundred catties of grain in a good year. Except for taxes and rents, barely make ends meet. It's still a good year, and it's normal to eat bark and grass roots in a disaster year.
The Guangwang Mansion has a big business, and the expenses of the people on weekdays are a lot of money. In a disaster year, the rent tax can't come up, and you still eat a fart.
Therefore, these officials have private land, such as Zhu Quanyu's family, which has 400 hectares of land, which is not much.
Zhu Youneng looked depressed: "Okay, since Dad refuses to let the child improve." Then I won't plant this land anymore, I think I'd better go roll the dice and fight the crickets. It's that the day before yesterday, Master Zhang's youngest son actually called me at me, so I found someone to break his dog's legs. The second son-in-law of the Liu family, the old superintendent of the Shaofu Prison, didn't hide when he saw me, it seems to be very arrogant, and when I see him, I have to give him some color to see, and Zhao Yushi, his stupid son, actually spit on me on the street, this revenge is not a gentleman! Saying that, Zhu Youneng gritted his teeth.
Zhu Quanyu's hands trembled angrily, and he pointed at Zhu Youneng and scolded: "You don't know whether you live or die, the Son of Heaven is lenient, and if you don't cure our family's sin, you are already burning high incense." You still dare to go out and make trouble for me, now is not your uncle's time, you don't know how to restrain yourself, who will protect you if something happens! ”
Zhu Youneng looked aggrieved: "It's these bastards who bully the children when they see that our family is down." The child didn't want to meet them in general, and the child wanted to go in and farm, but you wouldn't do it, Daddy. ”
Zhu Quanyu slapped his thigh angrily and sat on the stool: "How did I raise you such a loser, you can take it to disaster for three hundred hectares, get out of me!"
Zhu Youneng's face was full of joy, and he shook it deeply: "Thank you Dad, the child must be a good person."
"Get out!" Zhu Quanyu didn't want to see him for a second now.
"Gotcha!" Zhu Youneng was completely immune to his father's blow of hating iron and steel, and beckoned: "Wangcai, Laifu, go, go with my son to measure the land."
Zhu Youneng doesn't believe in any bullshit farming to make a fortune, but he believes in Li Ji. Brother Li won't lie to himself, and he has rent, so why not.
Therefore, when Wangcai and Laifu took the land booklet and a measuring tape to measure the land, Zhu Youneng was more serious than anyone else.
The measuring tape is woven with hemp rope and a scale is marked with white ash. Three hundred hectares of land, Zhu Youneng measured it for more than half a month.
……
Today is the day of the marriage of the Empress Dowager's maid A Qian, and the Empress Dowager He has prepared a lot of gold and silver jewelry for this maid, which shows how much she loves this maid.
Ah Qian had red eyes: "The slave maid can't serve the Queen Mother anymore, and I ask the Queen Mother to take care of the phoenix body." Ah Qiu, you take care of the Queen Mother for me. ”
The palace maid Ah Qiu also nodded with red eyes: "Don't worry, with me, I will take good care of the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager He was also very reluctant in her heart, and she stroked Ah Qian's head lovingly: "Ah Qianna, you marry into Pan Mansion and serve your husband as a good student." Remember that you are a person who came out of the Jishan Palace, and you can't lose your dignity in everything. You must always remind your husband that it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the monarch and the country, and Datang will not forget you loyal ministers and good generals! ”
Empress Dowager He is so powerful, and she still hasn't forgotten to show her kindness. Ah Qian was brought up by himself, so he was naturally loyal to the royal family. With her blowing the wind on the pillow, Pan Da was afraid that if he was born in Datang, he would die as a ghost in Datang.
Ah Qian nodded tearfully, and walked outside the hall accompanied by the palace maid.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the hall, Empress Dowager He stopped her behind her back: "Remember, this Jishan Palace is your maiden home." If you are wronged, come and tell the mourning family, and the Queen Mother will make the decision for you! ”
Although they are maids, Empress Dowager He has always treated these two palace maids as her own daughters. The domineering side leaked, and the royal majesty of the words was exposed.
Ah Qian turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to Empress Dowager He. The two palace maids next to her put a red hijab on her and led her out of the main hall.
Empress Dowager He looked at Ah Qian's back and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, while Ah Qiu stretched out her sleeve and wiped her eyes
