Lantian County is southeast of Chang'an City and belongs to Gyeonggi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the several counties and towns outside Chang'an, Lantian County is the most famous because it produces beautiful jade.

According to legend, the jade seal of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, was made of Lantian jade.

Because of this, Lantian County is the richest county outside Chang'an.

Under the jurisdiction of Lantian County, there are hundreds of villages and towns, and most of the land in these villages and towns was given to those founding heroes by Li Shimin, among which the hundreds of acres of good land that Tang Zhou received were in Luobei Village, under Lantian County.

And most of the tenants of the Tang family are also from Luobei Village.

The south of Luobei Village is Luonan Village, which is twice as large as Luobei Village, and the entire Luonan Village is the fief of Princess Danyang.

Because Luonan Village is the fief of Princess Danyang, and Princess Danyang is a real fief, that is to say, the harvest of all her fiefs is her own, compared to Tang Zhou's false seal, Princess Danyang does not have to pay taxes, and Tang Zhou must pay taxes to the imperial court after the harvest every year, and all the villagers here are slightly richer than the villagers of Luobei Village.

And just when there was one day left before the Spring Society Day, a man named Xia Fan from Luobei Village secretly sneaked into Luonan Village to steal food from a family named Shen Zhong.

But the man named Xia Fan was unlucky, he was found and arrested by the servants of Shen Zhong's family, and they sent him to the Lantian County Ya.

This matter is very small, it is just a civil dispute, according to the previous practice, it is enough to beat Xia Fan a few boards and lock him in prison for a period of time.

Unfortunately, the county magistrate of Lantian County is named Gao Wei, a distant relative of the Gao family, and the fief of the Gao family is mostly in Lantian County.

After Gao Neng listened, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What about the people of Xia Fan Keluo North Village?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that a small half of the villagers in this Luobei Village are working as tenants for Tang Zhou, but is this the case?"

"That's right, Luobei Village is not big, there are only a few hundred households, and there are no more than 100 households with land in their own homes, and most of them are working for Tang Xiaohou."

"Then is this Xia Fan Tang Zhou's tenant?"

"I don't know."

Speaking of this, Gao Wei was a little puzzled and said, "Executive, what's wrong with you, why are you so interested in a tenant?" ”

Gao Neng touched his nose and told Gao Wei about Tang Zhou's offending of their son-in-law Gao Wei, Gao Wei was a county magistrate in Lantian County, and his style was quite fair, after all, he was next to the imperial city, and he was very strictly supervised, and he didn't dare to do anything corrupt, but his position as a county magistrate was only obtained through Gao Shilian's recommendation.

Now that I know that the son of the Gao family has a bad relationship with that Tang Zhou, and Tang Zhou's tenants have fallen into his hands, no matter what, he has to express himself.

"So that's the case, then please rest assured that the executives will definitely teach Xia Fan a hard lesson and let him know that he is powerful."

After Gao Wei finished speaking, Gao Neng waved his hand again and again: "No, it was Tang Zhou who offended my son-in-law, not his tenant farmer, and it was Tang Zhou who we want to teach a lesson, not that Xia Fan, and dealing with a tenant farmer, don't you think we have lost our identity?" ”

After hearing this, Gao Wei's expression was a little strange, teach Tang Zhou, he is a small seven-grade county order, where dare to teach the founding county marquis of Sanpin?

But even so, he hurriedly asked, "What do the executives mean?" ”

"One more day will be the day of the society, then Tang Zhou will definitely go to Luobei Village, then you will take someone to escort Xia Fan, and visit the village in the name of educating the people, and then I want Tang Zhou to lose face."

As soon as Gao Neng said this, Gao Wei immediately understood that if Xia Fan was indeed Tang Zhou's tenant, then Tang Zhou's tenant stealing would be equivalent to indirectly slapping Tang Zhou's face.

And he is visiting the village in the name of educating the people, but it is a matter of course, so Tang Zhou can't even if he wants to find trouble for himself.

"The executive's family is high, since this is the case, then please rest assured that on the day of the society, I will definitely ask that Tang Zhou not to come to the stage."

----------------------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, the time for the company day is approaching.

On the morning of Sheri, the weather was sunny, and the spring breeze was already intoxicating, and not long after Tang Zhou got up, the eunuch in the palace carried a box of things into the house, which was called the Holy Reward.

The eunuch put down the things and left, because according to the usual management, many officials in Chang'an City who are above the third grade have to send a copy of this thing, and there are many officials above the third grade, and they are very busy, and they really don't have time to stay in one place for a long time.

After the eunuch left, Tang Zhou opened the box and found that the contents were all some sheep wine, seafood, wine noodles, japonica rice, steamed cakes and other things, although these things were palace things, but they were not delicious food.

And the reason why the emperor wants to reward these is just to show his kindness.

After Tang Zhou put it away, he immediately ordered someone to put these things on the carriage with the wine and some ingredients he had prepared, and after handing over the carriage to Tie Zhi, the two of them left first, while Qin Shu and the rest of the people in the mansion took another carriage out of the city and rushed to Luobei Village.

After Tang Zhou and Tie didn't leave the house, they went directly to Cuiming Building, and when the two came to Cuiming Building, several large drawers of soup dumplings had been prepared, Tie didn't know how to transport the soup dumplings to the carriage with the guys from Cuiming Building, and Tang Zhou chatted with Liu Ziyi for a few words.

"The little marquis is generous, and he has prepared so many things for his tenant farmers."

Tang Zhou smiled: "This is the first time that this marquis has prepared a community day for tenants, naturally I can't let them chill their hearts, I heard that the countryside is very lively on this day of the community day, and there are people juggling, do you want Miss Liu to follow and play?" ”

Tang Zhou knew that many people in the city would go to the countryside to play on this day, and on this day, the rural society was much more lively than the capital.

When Liu Ziyi heard Tang Zhou's words of invitation, her cheeks turned red in an instant, after all, it was the first time she was invited by a man.

"But the business here?"

"Business doesn't hurt, it's okay if you don't do it for a day, anyway, there aren't many people in the city today."

Liu Ziyi nodded and said, "Okay, but the little marquis will take the first step, after I finish explaining the matter of the inn, I will go to you with Mingzhu." ”

Hearing Liu Ziyi's words, Tang Zhou said that he understood that in fact, the identities of the two were very different, although they did not pay attention to these in the early Tang Dynasty, but if the two were in the same carriage, it would be inevitable to be gossiped.

"In that case, let's go first, today I'm going to make a delicious dish for those tenant farmers, Miss Liu must come."
