The Son of Heaven Shengming spread all over the world, so God blessed the Tang Dynasty, first gave auspicious potatoes to relieve the hunger of the people, and then the cowpox to eliminate the scourge of smallpox, and the whole country celebrated.

was touted by the ministers, these two credits were all related to Li Er's Shengming, which naturally made him take the lion's share, plus Cheng Yanjin led 80,000 Tang troops to defeat the Turkic army of 300,000 in one fell swoop and capture the Turkic commander, Li Shimin can now be described as a powerful man, sitting on the Taiji Hall quite proud.

Wang Xiang naturally won't compete with Li Er for any credit, he returned to the Marquis of Linchuan Mansion very low-key after leaving Xishui Village, being a courtier can make the king complacent is the greatest credit, making a fortune in a muffled voice is the right way, and he doesn't plan to rebel and want such a big reputation.

Li Er is actually a very sassy person in his heart, and he likes this feeling of admiration of all the people very much, and when he thinks of these things, Wang Xiang has contributed the most, and a series of incomparably rich rewards have been sent, and he has even rewarded a large fiefdom.

Fiefs are not rewarded randomly, and generally only princes or ministers who have made great military achievements have the opportunity to receive the rewards of fiefs.

Although many ministers have a lot of complaints about such a rich reward, but at this time, no one wants to spoil Li Er's interest, even if they say Li Er, they will not listen, Wang Xiang's merit is too great, and it is not an exaggeration to calculate these rewards, who dares to say that Cheng Biting Jin's 80,000 Tang army defeated the Turkic 300,000 army without Wang Xiang's merit? The story of "Tianleizi" has spread after the war with the Turks. Moreover, at Wang Xiang's age, he also saved the crown prince and the king of Jin, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, so he can't offend him at this time.

Therefore, even Wei Zheng did not raise any objection to Li Er's seemingly excessive reward.

Li Er did not give Wang Xiang a knight, and then he would be a duke. Wang Xiang is still young. Even if his merits were enough to be crowned Duke Li Er, he would not do so. It's not that Li Er is reluctant to give up the title of a duke, but there are some things he has to leave to Li Chengqian to do.

The autumn wind has carried a slight chill, but Chang'an City is celebrating, Li Er announced that the world will be drunk for ten days, the curfew will be lifted, and Chang'an, which has been silent for some days, suddenly boiled.

In the Marquis of Linchuan's mansion, the door was closed, and laughter was heard from time to time.

The Hou Mansion Hall is full of halls. There are not so many rules in the house, Steward Wang and they all sit around a table together, the hot pot on the table is steaming, Xiao Lori sits next to Wu Shun and points to this and that, Wu Shun is doting on her to help her put the small bowl in front of her.

This girl can really be regarded as an escape from death this time, Wu Shun, who used to spoil her very much, now spoiled her even more, and Wang Xiang shook his head for a while.

Ju Yiya sat on the other side of Wang Xiang, shabu was very happy, these days when Wang Xiang went to Xishui Village, Ju Yiya had already mingled with the people in the house, although she was the princess of Gaochang. But there is no princess shelf at all, and even the former tsundere has been much more restrained. In everyone's eyes, she is a particularly docile snacker.

Maybe the women of the Western Regions have such a personality, they are very independent before they get married, and after they get married, they suddenly become good wives and mothers.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Steward Wang suddenly choked up and said: "Today, Your Majesty sent someone to send many rewards, and also rewarded the young master's fiefdom, and the old marquis's spirit in the sky can be regarded as relieved." As he spoke, tears began to fall.

As soon as Steward Wang cried, everyone stopped their chopsticks and looked at him, and Degui hurriedly said when he saw this: "Dad, what are you talking about when you are so festive?" ”

"Why can't I say it, I'm happy, the old marquis has fought countless battles in his life to get the position of this marquis but he didn't get the fief rewarded by His Majesty, the young master was rewarded by His Majesty with such a big fief at a young age, and with the fief Marquis, he can prosper forever, how can I not cry with joy." Steward Wang followed Wang Bing in his early years, and his feelings for the Hou Mansion can be said to be deeper than anyone else, which Wang Xiang can't compare, and it is not surprising that he is emotionally excited and difficult to suppress.

Wang Xiang asked curiously, "What's the use of a fief?" That place seems to be far away from Chang'an. ”

In his opinion, the gold, silver and jade objects rewarded by Li Er are the most real, as for the fiefdom that is rewarded is far away from Chang'an and far less prosperous than Chang'an, I really don't know what the use of rewarding himself in such a place is.

Steward Wang listened to Wang Xiang's words, wiped his tears and said: "Young master, with the fief, our Hou Mansion will have a fixed income every year after that, and the taxes of the fief only need to be paid 20%, and the rest will be from our Hou Mansion." ”

When Wang Xiang heard that there was just a little more tax from the fiefdom, he shook his head indifferently and said: "Are you afraid that our Hou Mansion will have no money if there are Dengxian Towers and Yipin Wine Workshop, and how much tax can be paid in that kind of poor and remote place." ”

Laifu also interjected: "That is, in a few days, we will still make the business of Yipin Wine Shop in the Western Regions, and we will make more money by then." As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Confused!" Steward Wang pointed to Laifu and said, "Can that be compared with a fief?" ”

Don't look like Fu is mixed up now, he doesn't dare to be embarrassed in front of Steward Wang, he only dares to whisper when he drinks like this: "It's not me who said it, Dengxian Lou and Yipin Wine Workshop are already very profitable......"

Steward Wang's ears naturally heard Laifu's muttering, and sighed and said: "The young master is so important to His Majesty at a young age, and he will definitely be able to add officials to the Glory Court in the future, and the fiefdom tax may not be as much as the money earned by Dengxian Lou and Yipin Wine Workshop, but business is not the right way after all, which of those thousand-year-old families relies on business?" It's not all fiefdoms. Without a fief, you can't become a real family, you can't shade your descendants, and how can you prosper forever. ”

What Steward Wang said is not unreasonable, but Wang Xiang has not thought about it so much, and now after Steward Wang said it, he has to think about it carefully, after all, he is not alone now, he has Wushun, he has Ju Yiya, and even everyone in the hall, their favor and humiliation are tied to themselves.

In the future, he will have children and grandchildren, will he also let them operate Dengxian Tower and Yipin Wine Workshop for a living?

In feudal society, land is always the most important thing, although those families also operate many industries, but they really rely on fiefs, as long as there are fiefs, they have confidence, which is why only the prosperous families do not have rich merchants.

It's no wonder that he was excited when he was just a housekeeper of the Seven Rank Supervisors, and he was never so excited when he went to the Immortal Tower, and he naturally saw it through after more experience.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiang pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Steward Wang is right, tomorrow I will have a good understanding of the fief rewarded by His Majesty, and our Hou Mansion will be a thousand-year-old family rather than a merchant family with a little wealth." ”

"Okay, good ......" After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Steward Wang nodded with satisfaction, he was afraid that Wang Xiang would not be able to see the world clearly, and at this time, seeing that Wang Xiang understood the truth, he immediately relieved his heart.

"In addition to the fiefdom, the prosperity of the family also needs to be vigorous, so the young master must hurry."

Hearing Steward Wang's words, Wu Shun and Ju Yiya both turned red, and Wang Xiang hurriedly haha: "Haha, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, it's almost cold." ”

The hot pot is tumbling and steaming...... (To be continued.) )
