The first month of the fifth year of Yonghui.

Princess Hepu played the emperor and asked to become a monk.

The Son of Heaven did not allow it.

Before long, the princess played again, and still allowed the smoke ring to become a female crown.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the most revered of the three religions was Taoism. Back then, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once claimed that he was a descendant of Taishang Laojun Li Dan and a descendant of the immortals. Although Lao Tzu was not the founder of Taoism, he was revered as a representative figure, so in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism naturally became the first religion believed in by the Li Tang Dynasty.

Tamase Gong is a major monk, so Taoism is naturally the first choice.

Emperor Li Zhi disagreed with his sister's ordination several times, but the princess played several times, and her words were resolute, and finally Li Zhi had to issue an order to agree to Tamase Fumigation.

There was no grand ceremony, Tamase was ordained in his own villa in Lanxi, and the three masters of the Xuandu Dadong of the Qing Dynasty were sent by the emperor to attend and preside over the ceremony.

In order to make up for this imperial sister, the emperor also issued a special decree that although the princess became a monk, she was still named the princess, changed the title to the eldest princess of Lantian, and handed over the originally recovered food to the princess, and added 300 households to seal a total of 800 households.

The emperor also specially assigned a mountainous area of Wangshun Mountain near where the princess lived to the princess, and also sent people to build a Taoist temple for the princess, and gave the famous Lingdu Temple as a place for the princess to become a monk.

Although the princess immediately played again, saying that she had become a monk and should no longer keep the title of princess and the property of the food estate, the emperor did not allow it.

······

Blue Creek, the mountain behind Lijiazhuang.

Li Xiao walked with Tamase.

"So, in the future, this mountain will be regarded as the territory of the princess's Lingdu Temple?"

"Call me a real person from now on, and I will be out of the world."

Li Xiao looked at Tamase, and after a period of time, Tamase lost a lot of weight. A little less flying, a little more sorrowful.

The princess laughed, born in this world, who can really jump out of the mortal world, we are just ordinary people. Even if the princess wanted to escape now, it would be impossible. However, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, build a Taoist temple, and practice quietly here, cultivate the mind and nature, and avoid the disturbance of the mundane. ”

Tamase left home, but the princess's title has not changed, and the food has increased, the emperor not only assigned a large area of Wang Shunshan after Lanxi to the princess as a place to practice the Lingdu Temple, but even specially changed the princess's food fiefdom to Lanxi.

Eight hundred households were closed, including Li Xiao's family.

Although Li Xiao is also a serious landlord, he is now considered a princess's fiefdom.

Fortunately, the food system of the Tang Dynasty is very different from that of previous dynasties, although the feudal nobles have fiefs and food estates, but in fact, they are no longer real fiefs.

The princess fief of Blue Creek, but does not manage this fiefdom. The 800 households in the fief were transferred to the princess, and it was only the tax that should be handed over to the imperial court every year to the princess.

Even the annual tax is just that the princess's mansion sent people to Lantian to collect the tax together with the officials sent by the county government, and one-third of the tax collected has to be given to the imperial court last time.

And the taxes levied are actually in full accordance with the rules of the imperial court and cannot be changed.

Therefore, Tamase is now only the largest landowner in Blue Creek, with 800 households as his tenants. But there are no other privileges other than collecting rent.

This may be a major reform of the Tang Dynasty's food system, he made those feudal princes, in fact, have lost the direct ownership and management of the fief, the so-called fiefdom food eup, just to get a little actual financial gain.

Even the titles of many nobles have nothing to do with their fiefdoms, the title Lantian may be in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the so-called number of households in the food is just directly reduced to how much money is discounted for one household.

For example, in the Han and Wei dynasties, the feudal marquis directly had fiefs and households, and the situation that the fiefs were like a country within a country was no longer seen.

The relationship between the feudal household and the feudal monarch is also much simpler, and there is no attachment at all.

Li Xiao and Tamase are actually just the relationship between big landlords and small landlords.

Li Xiao has thousands of acres of land in his hand, and he originally paid rent and tax to the imperial court every year, but now he has changed to pay to the princess's mansion, and that's it. Usually, there are still things under the jurisdiction of the Lantian County government.

There are 800 households, and the ones selected by the court for the princess are all those households with many dings, more than a few dings per household, or households with more land. For example, Li Xiao, although his family is only one ding, he has thousands of acres of land, and all the servants are thirty or forty.

After calculation, the emperor gave the princess 800 households, at least more than 1,000 dingkou, and tens of thousands of acres of land.

The emperor is very interesting to this sister, even if only two-thirds of the tens of thousands of acres of land are rented to the princess, but it is also very much.

"The princess's title and food, I will play it again and ask Your Majesty to take it back. Even this spiritual capital view, in fact, there is no need to build a large number of buildings, just now my small Zhuangzi, is completely enough to support my cultivation. ”

"Don't, since Your Majesty has given it to the princess, then take it. Princess, even if you want to practice, you have to spend money. You don't want to really live a life of coarse tea and light rice in the future. ”

"Since I have already become a monk and practiced, why should I care about that, besides, now in my house, except for a few old people, everyone else has almost left, even if I have these fiefdoms, I can't manage them, and I don't know how to manage them, so it's better to ask Your Majesty to take them back."

Li Xiao sighed.

"The main man thinks he can't manage it, so he can leave it to me to manage, but it's just a few hundred households and 10,000 acres of land."

Tamase glanced at Li Xiao, "Managing these is a very difficult thing, and it is not beneficial." ”

"What's this?"

"San Lang don't underestimate these, since you want to manage it, you have to manage it well, if you don't manage it properly, everyone's harvest will not be good, but you are responsible."

In this year, the harvest was widespread.

An acre of harvest is only one or two stones, and you have to depend on the weather to eat, if you encounter a drought, flood, wind disaster, locusts or something, there will be a poor harvest or even no harvest.

The lack of farming technology, the lack of production tools, the shortage of large livestock, and the lack of water conservancy tools have made farming dependent on the sky. In this era, a family planting hundreds of acres of land may not be rich, but unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, a family can support a family by planting ten acres or even a few acres of land.

As a feudal lord, he not only sits and collects rent, but also has to be responsible for guiding the feudal household to farm, and even has to direct disaster relief in times of disaster.

managed 800 households for the princess and managed tens of thousands of acres of fields, which is equivalent to being a township head.

However, this township chief is not easy to be, but Li Xiao feels that it will not be difficult.

"If you really want to help, then I am willing to hand over 20% of the tax on the fief to you as a reward for you to take care of it for me."

The princess directly threw off the bag, and Li Xiao took care of the princess, as long as she gave the princess eight transactions of the fixed tax every year, which was equivalent to chartering.

Well done, the income of 20% is not low.

"In the event of a disaster, reduce the rent according to the situation, so that you will not suffer." The princess said.

Li Xiao thought about it, the princess and his fixed lease, if he and the tenants share the rent, and find a way to increase the income of the feudal households, then in addition to the princess's fixed rent, there is actually still a profit, not only can earn 20% of the charter management fee, but also earn more sharing income.

It can not only help the princess share her worries, but also bring the villagers to increase their income, and you can also earn another handful by the way, why not.
