Text Chapter 24 Ten Princes' Mansions, Hundred Grandchildren's Courtyard

So, will the snuff that really appeared after a thousand years have an effect if it travels to the earlier Tang Dynasty?

It has been recorded in history that the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in later generations toured the south, and there were foreign offerings, including snuff, although this person hated tobacco all his life, but he regarded the tribute snuff as a treasure, which showed his cherished meaning.

Therefore, the royal family later used snuff, which led to the use of snuff even more, and the tribute paid was precious, and the rewarder thought it was a favor.

It is also impossible to help but that its value has skyrocketed, just because all kinds of glass snuff bottles, Kashron snuff bottles, plain snuff bottles, agate snuff bottles and snuff are all precious things.

Although the relevant glaze manufacturing process existed as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the smelting technology was in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and it has been kept secret, because it is difficult for the people to obtain, so until the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people still regard glaze as an expensive thing, and even more precious than jade.

The earliest written record of glaze production can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, but at that time there were already glazed bracelets in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Li Zhi believed that a glazed factory had appeared in the imperial court at this time, producing glazed utensils that were appreciated by the imperial family and enjoyed exclusively by the imperial palace, and as long as he paid a certain fee, he believed that through future exchanges with the imperial court, he would definitely purchase a large number of cigarette cans and cigarette bottles.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, because snuff is easy to ferment in a snuff bottle, so it is generally sealed with wax for several years or even decades before it is sold.

It would take him a year or two to produce the first batch of snuff, so even if the cans and bottles were obtained, it would be useless!

Therefore, Li Zhi is not worried about the market through which snuff passes, and his vision is not to supply to the market, but to use its uniqueness and the preciousness of the device to become popular only among the powerful in the first place.

Today's glass of all colors has been equivalent to pearl agate as rare, snuff popularization of the public does not exist through the channel at all, some are climbing high and noble people are eager to rush to, regard it as a must-have attached to the Ji Panhong, is the biggest help for the final flow of snuff to the market.

In the very surprised eyes of the county lord of Qingqi, he pointed at her and said to the stall owner called Da Da Niu: "This is the county lord of Qingqi of Linhuai County Palace, what you are cultivating is a Chinese herb called tobacco, but in addition to its very special medicinal value, it is more of a toxic herb. But I am a doctor, and I can have a deep understanding of it alone, so it is better for you to plant it in the future and buy it from my Linhuai County Palace. ”

After a pause, after a moment of thought, he continued, "That is to say, if you agree, you can be merged into the ranks of the Linhuai County Wangfu family in the future, and you can enjoy the monthly remuneration of the high-ranking family, which is equivalent to the monthly silver tattoo of the village level!" Or you are still a tenant planter, providing exclusive tobacco for our house, and the purchase price is not less than twice the equivalent of grain, and the government will not charge you any fees for renting your land! ”

The little county lord and he have been in touch for more than ten years, and it was soon clear from the deep pretense of Li Zhi's ingenuity.

"Little Hou Ye's words are also as I thought in my heart, the market sales channels of plants like yours are extremely narrow, maybe there will be doctors coming to the door in the future, but it is far from enough to feed the whole family with this! It is up to you to plant it exclusively for the county king's mansion, not only do you have no competitors in the product, but due to its unique limitations, you can use it as a source of livelihood far more than food cultivation! ”

The huge cattle belonged to the ordinary poor villagers, and although they had the same official name of a single name that was prevalent at the time, they did not have the name of ordinary magnates and literati.

Like the text of Li Zizi at this time, the text is actually a word that is only taken when it reaches adulthood, and the purpose of taking the word is to make people respect it and be called by others. Ordinary people, especially their peers and subordinates, are only allowed to call their elders by their first names.

Ordinary people don't have this kind of nickname, just like a huge cow, and he may not use his name in his life, so the official name of Pang Xun, which is quite meaningful, has been forgotten, and the nickname given by his family or others is Da Niu, so it has become a generic name that includes himself.

Hearing what the two of them said, the big cow's expression throbbed violently, for no other reason, whether it was a farmer who did not have to pay tenant rent, or a large courtyard family who received a fixed salary, it was far better than the poor days when his whole family was hungry and full.

Although the economy was strong during the Tang Dynasty, it only referred to the magnates, down to the local villages, and the small chaebols, ordinary villagers were still quite poor, especially in the poor and remote areas far away from the towns, not to mention food and clothing.

Now the two ways proposed by the two undoubtedly give him a fixed living guarantee of drought and flood income, which means that he can have the iron rice bowl position that later generations will call.

Li Zhi knew that he was very tormented at the moment, and he didn't know what trade-offs to make, and he didn't know what the risks were.

So patiently explained to him: "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, you can consult your security chief, neighborhood chief, or even the village chief after you go back, and they will make a decision for you!" But when you mention it to them, don't mention the palace of Linhuai County, but the Li family of Fengwu County, because your future planting will also be in the fief of the Li family. The Li family is a relative of the Linhuai County Palace, and there are no sporadic tenants for planting fields under the name of the palace! ”

He is also the inheritor of the feudal landlord's estate, with hundreds of acres of fertile land rewarded by the imperial court, and the land under the name of the powerful public office of the current dynasty such as the Linhuai County Wangfu has at least 20 hectares of fertile land, that is, 2,000 acres.

Of course, there is no comparison with the tens of thousands of taels of silver at every turn, this kind of ten thousand taels of silver is just a general statement, because the officials of the Tang Dynasty had extremely generous treatment, respectively from the Yulu, social welfare, retirement system, and gray income.

In addition to the fixed annual salary, land, materials, and year-end salary, staffing is a huge expenditure that needs to be paid by the imperial court.

For example, the king of Linhuai County has 96 defense generals, and there are fine rice, japonica rice, noodles, wine, mutton, sauce, vinegar, melon, salt, soy bean, green onion, ginger, sunflower, leek, etc., not to mention the monthly allowance of 17 taels of silver per month.

In addition to the land and the annual salary, the county king himself is given food and miscellaneous use, which must be more complicated, plus the silk horses, gold and silver utensils, and miscellaneous colors are given every winter solstice, even if the gray income is not counted, it is only the most conservative estimate when converted into tens of thousands of taels of silver.

What's more, there are benefits for incumbent officials, relatives are exempted from military service, housing and transportation are rewarded, children and grandchildren enjoy preferential admission to school, children become officials, and other preferential treatments and privileges, and they can enjoy public holidays every year, and there are other rewards for the death of themselves, their grandparents, and parents, all of which can be discounted.

At least five different occasions are distributed according to the country of class, including a full set of clothing, hats, laces and accessories, which are not counted.

As for gray income, it is even more impossible to calculate specifically, such as filial piety from subordinates.

During the Tang Dynasty, the most typical ones were "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing", that is, the officials who served in the local area, and paid tribute to the key figures and departments in the Beijing officials twice in winter and summer, in order to keep their official positions and then seek promotion.

The emperor's brother and son became the prince, the son of the crown prince was called the prince of the county, and the sons of other princes became the heir king.

In fact, the kings of Linhuai are mostly nominally and more reflected, and they still belong to the core of the royal family like their relatives at the level of the county kings, and their identities are slightly embarrassing.

Therefore, for example, the county lord of Qingqi and her younger brother are not qualified to live in the courtyard of the Ten Princes' Mansion and the Hundred Grandchildren, which is the mansion that the sons of the emperor live together after they are older and crowned kings.

The reason why it is so cumbersome is to show that the pressure that Li Zhi and the county lord of Qingqi will face in the future comes from the Hundred Grandsons of the Ten Princes' Mansion, and it is also the reason why Mo Jun is afraid to avoid it.

After a series of episodes, it still returns to the theme of the story, although the current Qingqi county lord does not know what his man thinks in his heart, but he also knows that borrowing the name of her Linhuai County Mansion has another deep meaning.

Seeing the huge cow who was still flustered and didn't know how to answer, she smiled and pointed out: "According to what the head of the Li family said, if you have a response, you can go directly to the Li family compound in Fengwu County one day." He is Li Zhengwen, the head of the Li family, Li Zhi, when the time comes, please meet and talk! ”

The huge cow who finally came back to his senses only then remembered to salute, and after being stopped, his voice trembled a little and said: "I know the Li family in Fengwu County, and it is also an adult family within a radius of dozens of miles!" Mr. Li is the little marquis on the street? At that time, whether the villain has made a decision or not, he will definitely go to your mansion to visit! ”

As mentioned in the previous document, Li Zhi, the little marquis, is only the shadow of the name of the old marquis of the Li family, and as early as the second generation of Li Lezhan no longer has the actual title, he has been reduced to his generation, and it is just polite to call himself a little marquis.

However, seeing that ordinary villagers also knew the name of the little marquis, Li Zhixin still felt comfortable, and his mood was very good: "It's still the same sentence before, you inquire clearly before making a decision, I think this is an opportunity, it's much better than a family without food and clothing!" Don't blame me for being blunt, you'd better keep this secret, because this kind of tobacco is currently only known to be cultivated by you, and if others follow suit, the yield will be high, and it will be more difficult to sell the tobacco that is already very narrow, and the overall price will fall, and you will not have a unique benefit! ”

The huge cow thought deeply: "It's still the little marquis who is kind-hearted, and all the starting points are for small considerations!" In fact, I can't wait to go to your mansion to get this errand now, but there is still a high hall at home, and I don't dare to make a decision easily without the order of my parents! ”

If you are not in that dynasty, you will not know the supreme respect that the aristocratic class in the previous life brought to the toiling masses.

If you can have a relationship with such a family, where will the huge cow have the slightest hesitation? Not to mention such a high salary guarantee.
