Chapter 108: Fiefdom

"Young master, don't be like this, let go of the paper kite sister......" Mengyu hurriedly pulled the other dozen little girls to kneel down together, and begged Tang Xiao for mercy.

"Hahahaha......" Tang Xiao opened his bloody mouth and leaned over to the paper kite, the paper kite was so frightened that he cried and struggled desperately in Tang Xiao's arms.

Tang Xiao frowned, just joking and amusing him, as for being scared like this? After shaking his head, Tang Xiao let go of her and let her go, and he stood up from the recliner.

The other little girls held the paper kite with a pale face like paper, and looked at Tang Xiao who was walking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

Tang Xiao walked a few steps, then turned around and reached out to beckon Mengyu over, after Mengyu came over, Tang Xiao whispered in her ear and asked her: "What kind of girl ring is the paper kite in the house?" ”

"Back to the young master, the paper kite is a third-class little girl." Mengyu replied to Tang Xiao in a whisper.

"Raise her to a second-class girl, the joke just now was too much, and it scared her." Tang Xiao has been a killer for a lifetime, he has always only had iron and blood, no tenderness, this time he came back from military training outside, felt the warmth of home, and rarely wanted to be humorous, but a joke scared a group of little girls half to death, which was really not his intention.

"Thank you, young master, I knew that the young master was just joking with the paper kite." Mengyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her heart finally let go. But I thought in my heart, is there a young master, are you joking like this? I don't know if it's going to scare people to death?

……

"Young Master, you have actually reached the fifth order of human yuan level cultivation!?" Mu Cang was now shocked by Tang Xiao, but still shocked.

Mu Cang didn't know that with his current strength at the sixth order of the human yuan level, if he confronted Tang Xiao head-on, the victory rate was already less than half. He, the personal guard personally assigned to Young Master Tang Xiao by the Marquis of Zhenguo, lost the meaning of being a personal guard in less than a year.

The master and servant were talking, and the inside and outside of the Zhenguo Mansion suddenly became lively, and it was actually Emperor Zhu Xi who learned from Princess Yitai and the county lord of Yilan that she was rescued by Tang Xiao, as well as the words of Fang Ji and Cai Heng, and specially sent someone to reward Tang Xiao for his meritorious deeds.

Mrs. Xingdu personally led everyone in the Hou Mansion to the entrance hall of the Hou Mansion to give instructions.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, this time the terrier fang military training, Tang Xiao rescued the princess, and killed the prince of the sea tribe, Maximilian and countless rebels, and made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and gave Tang Xiao the title of baron of the Daming Dynasty, giving 100 hectares of good land, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 horses of silk, and 100 households...... In addition, Mrs. Hindu taught her son well, and gave her a thousand taels of silver and a thousand horses of silk......"

"Chin this!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

……

The life-and-death fight between Tang Xiao and Jin Sha in the school yard of Yilan City also reached the ears of the human emperor, including the interception and killing of Tang Xiao on the road by Jin Long and his wife of Sha Lan Sect later, which caused Long Yan to be furious, and sent the strong men in the Forbidden City to Sha Lan Sect to meet with the sect master of Sha Lan Sect, and asked him to restrain his subordinates and prevent Jin Long and Zhou Qiao from leaving the sect again to seek revenge. If it is found that someone from the Sha Lan Sect dares to deal with the Tang family privately and punish them with rebellion, the imperial court will definitely send 100,000 elites to level the entire Sha Lan Sect.

Although there are many masters in the Shalan Sect, compared to the court of the Ming Dynasty, they are like ants and elephants. For the sake of the future of the entire sect's population of more than 2,000, the sect leader of the Shalan Sect naturally had to suppress this matter and restrict the actions of Jin Long and Zhou Qiao, so as not to cause the disaster of sect extermination. Of course, Jin Sha took the initiative to provoke and propose a life-and-death fight first, in the eyes of the sect master of the Sha Lan sect, it was not reasonable for the Jin Long couple to go out to find Tang Xiao to seek revenge, and the emperor even sent a special envoy to this matter, and the sect master of the Sha Lan sect had no choice but to obey.

……

"Xiao'er is out of breath, and before the age of sixteen, he was named the baron of the Daming Dynasty, and let the mother follow the scenery." Mrs. Xingdu forcibly hugged Tang Xiao, who was more than ten centimeters taller than her, and kissed him on the face with a proud look on her face.

"Hehe, what is a baron? In the future, the child will be crowned a marquis, so that the Tang family will have two marquises! At that time, the mother will be more beautiful! Tang Xiao forcibly broke free from Mrs. Xingdu's arms, and he was extremely proud at the moment, but it felt a little strange to be hugged and kissed by Mrs. Xingdu like this.

"Alas...... Before I knew it, my Xiao'er had grown so big, she was taller than me, and her figure was almost the same as that of Hou Ye. Mrs. Hindu also seemed to realize something, and stood on tiptoe and reached up to hold Tang Xiao's face.

I remember that last year, he was still thin and small, and when he held him, he still looked like a child, but this year he has been reborn and has completely grown into a real man.

"Mother." Tang Xiao felt the motherly love of Mrs. Xingdu, and gently reached out and hugged Mrs. Xingdu into his arms, from the previous life to this life, this woman in his arms is the only person who makes him truly feel family affection, he vows to become strong as soon as possible, protect her, and never let her be hurt in any way.

Mrs. Hindu raised her head, looked at Tang Xiao's handsome and resolute face, felt his powerful arms, and became more and more proud in her heart. Even if a woman is weak, she can give birth to such a powerful man, and witnessing this man step by step from croaking to dominating the wind and clouds, this will indeed make people feel an inexplicable sense of achievement.

……

After completing the relevant formalities in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, Tang Xiao and Mu Cang came to his fiefdom together for inspection.

The 100 households that Emperor Zhu Xi gave Tang Xiao a seal were in Huwei Village, Tamsui Town, outside the west gate of Taijing City. There are a total of 118 households in Huwei Village, which originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Tamsui Town, and now the entire village and the surrounding 1,000 acres of fertile land are directly allocated to Tang Xiao, and the taxes are also formulated by Tang Xiao, of course, most of the 118 households are fishermen, and do not completely rely on this thousand acres of fertile land for a living.

The location of Huwei Village is very good, close to the Tamsui River, the third largest river on Obi Island, originating from the Pintian Mountain at the northern end of the Central Mountain Range, and the two major tributaries of Dahan Creek, Xindian Creek and Keelung River meanders through Taijing City to the west, and flows into the sea from Huwei Village.

It is very convenient to transport materials from Taijing City to here, all the way down the river. Of course, some of the village's specialties are also easy to bring back to Taijing, the whole Huwei village is full of coconut trees, the land is moistened by the Tamsui River is very fertile, and the fishery is developed. So here is relatively rich, but can receive a lot of taxes and silver, the current emperor Zhu Xi is really rewarding Tang Xiao, and did not fool him.

"There are more than 500 such Zhuangzi in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion on Obi Island, and a Zhuangzi has an income of 70,000 or 80,000 taels every year for fishing, hunting, animal husbandry, farming, winemaking, etc." After Mu Cang took Tang Xiao around his fiefdom for a long time, he talked to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, no wonder there were so many people in the house, but it didn't seem to be nervous, presumably the father who had not yet met had far more than these five hundred Zhuangzi in his hands, right? Originally, Tang Xiao was still very excited after having a fief, but when Mu Cang said this, he found that he was too far behind the Marquis of Zhenguo, and he was suddenly a little shocked. Speaking of tax silver, Tang Xiao's fiefdom should be able to collect more than two hundred taels of silver every year, which is good, but for Tang Xiao, who spends a lot of money on practice, two hundred taels of silver? Better than nothing.

Unless you have more and bigger fiefdoms in the future, there is still no need to focus on this, and leave it to Mu Cang to take care of for the time being.

The main source of income for the princes and nobles in Taijing City is also the annual tax of these fishing villages and manors, otherwise they will only rely on the silver given by the emperor, and the Hou Mansion will close down one by one. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, princes and nobles are not allowed to do business, and some large chambers of commerce are officially owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Suppress Hu Hou Zhu Kun, that is, Tang Xiao's dead party... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
