"Yes, this is my home!" Qian Jiangxue nodded and said, then pulled Ye Xiao and walked inside, at this time, Ye Xiao didn't need to determine the authenticity of this matter, because-

"Miss, you're back. ”

The guards at the door were all respectful to Qianjiangxue, obviously looking like they had seen their master, needless to say, this is Qianjiangxue's home.

However, have you noticed that this is the end of Suzaku Street, and what is the end of Suzaku Street?

According to the urban planning map of Chang'an City, Suzaku Street is directly connected to the Imperial Palace, and as I said before, basically other cities are also directly connected to the Royal Palace and the City Lord's Mansion, while Donghai City does not have a royal palace, but has the City Lord's Mansion.

That's right, this is the City Lord's Mansion!

"Sister Qian, is your family a relative of the city lord or what?" After Ye Xiao entered the city lord's mansion, he found an opportunity to ask Qian Jiangxue, although he felt as if he had guessed the answer, he still had to ask.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm the daughter of the lord of the city, and I'm the biggest yain in Donghai City. Qian Jiangxue said with a smile.

“......”

Although Ye Xiao guessed it, after being said, he still felt shocked.

What kind of person are you, Qianjiangxue, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a person with such a noble status, although you do seem to be a person from a big family, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

The lord of Donghai City, although he is not the biggest official of Donghai County, and he can't even be regarded as an official, but he is the biggest person in Donghai City, because the city lord is the lord of Donghai City, and the lord of Donghai City is not the lord of Donghai County?

Of course not!!

Donghai City is only the lord of Donghai City, if it is the entire Donghai County, then what is the father of the little marquis, is it the lord under the lord?

The lord does not have such power, all the territories belong to the king, and are given by the king!

Although a territory like the Dayue Kingdom was granted by the Tang Empire, and the king of the Dayue Kingdom could give his own territory to others, but when it came to the territory below, it could no longer be granted, and the lord did not have this power.

To put it simply, only kings and empresses have the right to grant territories, and the territories they grant can only be granted to the unowned, and the lord's fiefs cannot be taken back and granted again, unless the lord makes an intolerable mistake, or some very special circumstances.

The lord has the autonomy power over the territory and can set his own laws, of course, in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no laws that deviate from the main body of the Tang Dynasty's laws, but there are differences in some detailed rules, but the general lords rarely make their own laws, and only issue some local regulations according to their own needs.

At the same time, the lord can choose the officials by himself, but generally let the official government of the Tang Dynasty appoint some people to come over, and some official yamen will exist even if it is your territory, such as Donghai City, as the county seat of Donghai County, naturally there is a county government to manage the entire county.

The lord of Donghai City can manage Donghai City, but he can't manage the entire Donghai County, even if he appoints his own people as officials, this official can only manage the affairs of Donghai City, and the county government is in command of the entire county.

This is like the city yamen and the provincial yamen in the provincial capital city, and the two levels of yamen are in the same city, but there will be no provincial yamen directly managing the city, the provincial yamen is just commanding, and the city yamen is the city yamen.

So I just said that the city lord of Donghai City is not the biggest official, but this is the city lord of Donghai City, he is the biggest person here, here, he has the final say, generally even if the king comes, it is the same to have the final say, after all, the territory has been given to the city lord, what is given out, can it still be said to be his own? Isn't this a slap in the face?

However, generally speaking, the lord will not go against the government, whether it is the Tang government or the kingdom's own government, they will not do such a stupid thing, because doing so is tantamount to isolating themselves, so what is the use of their own territory.

Today, do you choose to be a backward local emperor, or a local tyrant who keeps pace with the times, and the former may not have a few subjects.

No matter how you choose, it is the latter, as long as you develop your own territory with the government, the annual tax can make you much happier than being the emperor of the soil.

Yes, the tax belongs to the lord, this is the rule of each fiefdom, but the premise is that you have to rely on your own development to fully master the tax, if you need the help of the government, then you have to hand over a part of the tax to the government, the specific proportion depends on the relationship between you and the government, see who needs more.

But no matter what, the lord will have a lot of income, taxes are terrible, merchants in any industry have no taxes to make money, even if you monopolize the entire industry, but you don't have to pay taxes, and I am only responsible for collecting taxes, and I don't need to pay costs, is this better than any industry.

That is because of this, becoming a strong person, and then obtaining a fief, which is more profitable than learning to do business or something, so, in this world, no matter how strong your business acumen is, it is not as strong as your strength, because you can never earn taxes when you make money.

Of course, the tax revenue of a territory should also be invested in infrastructure, if there is no good infrastructure, it will not attract people, and the tax will not be raised.

Getting back to the point, Ye Xiao is now looking at Qian Jiangxue's expression, which is looking at the expression of the local tyrant, because he thinks that her father, as the lord of Donghai City, according to the prosperity of Donghai City, excluding expenses, the annual income must be astronomical, which makes people dare not calculate.

At this time, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that he must eat their family's things fiercely now, because their family's money is the hard-earned money of the people of Donghai City, these vampires, as a messenger of justice, want to seek justice for the people of Donghai City, well, some justice.

"Sister Qian, in addition to being the daughter of the city lord, do you have any other amazing identities that can make me mentally prepared earlier. Ye Xiao asked at this time.

"No, if there is, it's that my mother is still a county lord, and according to the algorithm, I'm also a county lord. Qian Jiangxue said.

“......”

Are you the county lord?

The county lord is a woman with royal blood, wait a minute, so according to his previous plan of "cultivating his mother to be an empress", can Qianjiangxue become part of his plan?

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Qian Jiangxue asked, she saw that Ye Xiao looked at her with a very strange look in her eyes, and she looked particularly unhappy.

Do you want to stew my ghost step bird again, I can let you stew the big one before, but the small one can't!

At this time, Ye Xiao asked, "Sister Qian, do you still have sisters?"

"Yes, I have a sister, what are you asking for?"

"It's nothing, it's just curious to ask, is your sister like you?" Ye Xiao was a little expectant.

"Like, we're just the same. Qian Jiangxue said.

Ye Xiao was instantly serious: "Let's do business, take me to the kitchen, let's cook something delicious." ”

“？？”

Qian Jiangxue was full of question marks, she didn't understand what Ye Xiao meant, but fortunately she didn't understand, if she did, she would probably scratch Ye Xiao to death.
