"That's right, young master, look here," Zhao Lao said as he opened a large wooden box in the corner, and as the lid of the box slowly opened, he saw a small account book and some silver coins and other things inside.

Liu Yuan frowned and said, "What's the matter with this box?" ”

"Young master, this is the tax that you paid tribute to your sealed account." Zhao Lao said respectfully: "All the money collected in the past two years is here, and there is not a penny less, please take a look at it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the book with both hands.

Zhao Lao didn't say it, Liu Yuan almost forgot, he entered Tibet for the second time, was born and died, and used his life to earn military exploits, and after the most Lu changed to a Viscount of Jintian, 500 households, this is a lot of income, just with the support of these 500 households, as long as he does not commit the crime of raiding the house and killing the head, he can have no worries about food and clothing in this life, Liu Yuan took the account book, nodded without looking at it and said: "Well, yes, you did a good job." ”

"Young master, you let Mr. Su Hua's son Su Qingbo be responsible for collecting taxes, according to the regulations, the taxes of this household, the Feng family can collect them at will, but the young master has not instructed him, so now he only collects taxes according to the rent modulation, because the situation is a bit special, and the old slave does not dare to make claims, except for expenses and losses, the others are sealed, and how to deal with them has to be watched by the young master."

Ding Nan pays two stones of corn to the state every year, which is called rent; Pay two zhang of silk, three taels of cotton or two zhang and five feet of cloth, three catties of hemp, called tune. Every Ding serves 20 days of forced labor every year, if he does not serve, he loses three feet of silk or three feet seven inches and five minutes of cloth every day, which is called Yong, commonly known as "rent Yong modulation", when paying taxes, he only looks at Dingkou, does not look at property, occupies a more important position in the early Tang Dynasty, and the food is also called Shifeng. Liu Yuan is called the Feng family, and the people on the land can be called the Feng family.

According to the past custom, the tax of the land is to transfer the part of the tax that should be paid to the treasury to the Feng family, but in the early Tang Dynasty, it was slightly different, and the Feng family only provided taxes to the Feng family, so it can be said that the Feng family was still very cool at this time, but it was also the case, affecting the country's income, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Not only are there very few knights, but the royal family also did everything possible to recover those feudal lands, and Comrade Zhu Chongba of the Ming Dynasty, who did a great job, passed the Hu Weiyong case, the "empty seal case". Guo Huan case, Lan Yu case. In the four cases, the title that was sealed out of the court was removed. laid a very foundation for the later Yongle prosperous era, of course, these are all later words.

Liu Yuan has made so many contributions against the sky, and it depends on the Qinghe Cui family, so he has a small Viscount of Jintian and 500 households. And these 500 households are also a little choked, as far as Liu Yuan knows, there are only about 300 households in Jintian. In other words, there are 500 households in the food district, and there are only about 300 households in the actual food, which is a discount.

Of course, if the population grows, as long as it is within the range of 500 households, Liu Yuan may also enjoy its taxes, and this tax collection is more and less, which also reflects the management art of a closed family, if it collects too much, those closed households can not live, the population cannot develop, and it is not conducive to long-term development, and even some closed households can't stand the oppression, there is a phenomenon of fleeing, anyway, there are high mountains and dense grass everywhere, and it is not easy to find it when you drill into the barren mountains and mountains; And the collection is less, the tax income of the family is reduced, and the emperor gave Jintian to Liu Yuan, which is a bit intriguing, because Liu Yuan is from Jintian Liu after all, and the so-called blood is thicker than water.

After gaining power, Liu Yuan neither supported nor retaliated, which made people wonder enough, and that's why Su Qingbo levied according to the taxes of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty: not for merit, but for no fault.

Liu Yuan opened the account book and looked at it, and couldn't help but nodded, don't look at these hundreds of households, there are thousands of taels of income here a year, and there is a lot of free labor available, no, on the construction site of Changluo Expressway, there are a large number of migrant workers, that is, from the fiefdoms of those few national fiefdoms, as soon as the order is given, someone will immediately earn money for them, and now that spring is in the spring, they still refuse to let them go.

Even Zhao Lao and Su Qingbo are unpredictable, it is estimated that their so-called relatives are now panicking, why bother in the first place?

Deserve!

"Okay, take it first, what's the matter, I'll talk about it in a few days." Liu Yuan said lightly.

Now Liu Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he would return to Jintian and see his mood before making a decision.

"It's good, young master."

Liu Yuan saw that the clothes on Zhao Lao's body were also old, and said lightly: "Zhao Lao, now our identities are different, don't save money for Young Master Ben, go and buy a few sets of new clothes, you are the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, you can't lose the face of our Liu Mansion." ”

This Zhao Lao is good at everything, but he is too provincial to himself, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, all his thoughts are on Liu's Mansion, the clothes are worse than other people's doors, it is estimated that he walked out of the road and said that he is a housekeeper, it is estimated that Liu Yuan is not pretending to be serious and said, it is estimated that Zhao Lao is still reluctant.

"Yes, yes, the old slave will do it immediately," Zhao Lao hurriedly said.

"Okay, let Xiaoqing prepare hot water, this young master is greasy and uncomfortable, and it is more energetic to take a bath."

"Yes, young master."

Chinese people have always liked the icing on the cake, especially now Liu Yuan is now a new star in the officialdom, the red man in front of the emperor, as soon as he appeared in Yangzhou, he suddenly became Yangzhou's recognized "fragrant glutton", for a time, those who came to visit, sent invitations, and almost stepped on the threshold of Liu's mansion, invited to eat, invited craftsmen who made money for themselves to eat, dealt with all kinds of human contacts and sent away those relatives who had turned eight doors, Liu Yuan pushed all the things that could be pushed, or went to the three-day banquet, sometimes three banquets a day, even if it was free, it was free to drink every day, I get drunk every day, and for this, Cui Mengyao complains a lot.

It wasn't until the fourth day that he didn't invite him to dinner and watch the play again, so Liu Yuan accepted Li Lizhen's invitation and moved his family to Zenzhi Temple to play.

"See the princess" Liu Yuan and others came to Zenzhi Temple, not long after the report, Li Lizhi and Pei Jingyan personally came to the door to welcome, and everyone inevitably saluted her.

Li Lizhi smiled and said, "Okay, don't be polite, get up and go in with the palace." ”

"Princess Xie" Liu Yuan responded, and went in with everyone.

Cui Mengyao said with a smile: "I still have to work for the princess, and the little woman is ashamed." ”

"Where to say" Li Lizhi said with a smile: "In recent days, the palace has traveled to the Slender West Lake, Gaomin Temple and other places, although the scenery is good, but you don't come, you always feel that something is missing, now it's okay, you are here, the palace doesn't have to be so boring." ”

"The princess is so gracious."

"Okay, needless to say, these polite words, this palace has prepared a lot of delicious and fun things, and I will let you take a good look at them later."

"Good"

As soon as Li Lizhi and Cui Mengyao chatted, Liu Yuan couldn't help but aim at Pei Jingyan who was standing aside, in less than half a month, Pei Da Beauty had lost a lot, it was estimated that there was something on her mind, but it was good to lose weight, the whole person seemed to add a bit of elegantness, like a fairy in the sky, that Chu Chu moving appearance, people couldn't help but admire.

Beauty is beauty, no matter what, it's so beautiful.

Pei Jingyan originally lowered his head, Liu Yuan stared at Pei Jingyan, as if sensing Liu Yuan looking at her, raised his look, the two suddenly looked at each other, and at the moment when the four eyes met, Liu Yuan felt that there seemed to be a quiet and bottomless pool of water in front of him, and that gaze seemed to be unable to pull it out at once, without words, one look was enough.

The tenderness and sweetness in his eyes suddenly made Liu Yuan feel intoxicated.

As if at a glance, just looking at it for a moment, Pei Jingyan quickly lowered her head a little shyly, and the whole person was a little overwhelmed, because her identity was a little embarrassing, fortunately, Xiao Niang walked over at the right time, took Pei Jingyan's hand and said a few words, soon, the two talked and laughed, Pei Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and soon became happy, holding hands with Xiao Niang, the two were like sisters, and walked inside together.

Liu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and accompanied Du Sanniang and Hu Xin to enter the Zenzhi Temple of the Imperial Palace.

I thought that this was a temple, because of the spiritual energy, the emperor fancied, so as to levy the palace, from the front door of the prosperous incense can be seen, and Li Lizhi is from the back door to pick up his own line for the palace, a time to enter, Liu Yuan felt a bright eye: only to see that there are mountains and water, there are Qiongtai, there are pavilions, ancient trees, towering to cover the sun, flowers, fight for Fang Douyan, stone bridge pavilion, echo each other, rockery planting screen, mountains and mountains, willow lake, reflection into interest, in addition to the stone platform stone chair placed in it, green bamboo and strange stones dotted among them, Birds sing at the tops, and flowers are fragrant in the breeze, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

It's so beautiful that people forget to return, no wonder Emperor Yang of Sui would set it up as a palace, and it really has a charming side.

"Pretty, so pretty." Liu Yuan couldn't help but praise.

Hu Xin on the side also praised: "Yes, Liu Yuan's house located in Slender West Lake, I already think it is beautiful, I didn't expect to compare it with Zenzhi Temple, and it will immediately lose its color, and the skilled craftsmen of Datang are really too experienced." ”

Du Sanniang nodded and said: "Of course, the person who built this place back then was the emperor of the previous dynasty, can a person's strength be compared with the emperor?" ”

The emperor of the world, the emperor can devote the whole country to build, which ordinary people can not compare, a big city, a big canal, looks poor and luxurious, but in fact it can also reflect his talent and courage, the palace he built, naturally will not be bad.

"Liu Yuan, Sanniang, Hu Xin, hurry up, the princess has prepared a lot of delicious food, let you try it" Under the harmony of Xiaoniang and Li Liqing, Pei Jingyan and Cui Mengyao also talked and laughed, and Pei Jingyan, who was in a good mood, was like a naughty little girl, urging Liu Yuan and others to go faster.

Du Sanniang is a person who likes to be lively, and when she heard this, she hurriedly trotted over, and said with a smile as she ran: "Princess, what is the program arrangement today?" ”

"Whatever you want" Li Lizhi said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's play cards while eating, if we don't play for a few days, we will miss it a little." ”

"Okay, that's what the slave family wants."

"It's okay, if I don't play for a few days, my hands are a little uncomfortable."

The women squeaked and laughed and said, Liu Yuan was a little speechless when he heard it: Sure enough, this is the case (to be continued......
