The level of the Xuanwu Hall facilities is not something that can be increased at will, and every time the level of the Xuanwu Hall is raised, it means that the strength of the cold inside also increases by one level.

If a practitioner does not practice kung fu at home, but covets the ultra-high bonus effect of high-level Xuanwu Hall facilities, it is likely that his body will not be able to resist the cold strength of Xuanwu Hall. At the least, he will no longer be able to practice martial arts in the Xuanwu Hall, and at the worst, he will likely be frostbitten and frozen to death by the cold qi that exceeds the strength that his body can resist while cultivating.

At present, the corresponding building facilities of the Futu Gate can only be upgraded to the level, and once the level of the facility is raised, it can no longer be adjusted. So sometimes, Li Bin will be particularly cautious about upgrading some special facilities, such as Xuanwu Hall.

Li Bin sat cross-legged on the frozen basin, swallowed a thousand tempered pills, and began to cultivate according to the second cultivation method of the Nine Yin Divine Skill.

After the strength of the icy cold qi in the Xuanwu Hall increased, it took less time for Li Bin to absorb the icy cold qi, and it was easier to absorb enough icy cold qi needed for the current body to practice.

Halfway through his cultivation, Li Bin had already faintly felt that the second level of the Nine Yin Divine Skill seemed to be making progress, so he boldly tried to release the cold ball that was spinning in the dantian two feet away from his body and then retract it.

The cold ball that rotated in the dantian was two feet away from his body, and with Li Bin's current Nine Yin Divine Skill skills, he could not easily control it at will, and Li Bin tried his best to take back the cold ball, which was indeed very difficult.

However, practicing in this way will increase the difficulty of the practice. But with Li Bin's full effort, he can barely complete it. After practicing like this a few times, Li Bin felt that the efficiency of the practice was still slightly improved.

Until ninety-nine eighty-one round-trips to collect and release the dantian cold ball. The cultivation is over. Li Bin walked out of the Xuanwu Hall, and today was an agreement with Ma Kui, the Lingnan Thorn Shi. Implement a good day for your own "food yip".

Li Bin took Wei Yawei, the housekeeper of the Futu Gate, and went down the mountain together. Confluence with Lingnan Thorn Shi Ma Kui.

"Ma Kui has seen Master Hou." Lingnan Thorn Shi Ma Kui was respectful in front of Li Bin, and he didn't dare to pretend to be the head of the imperial court.

"Spurs history, what is the current Lingnan Tianfu?" Li Bin was not polite to Ma Kui, and went straight to today's topic and asked.

"Back to the words of the Hou Ye, the Tianfu of Lingnan Province is currently fifteen taxes and one, which is also the current national policy of Tianfu collection in the Great Qi State." Ma Kui replied.

"Fifteen taxes one? Tell me a little bit about what's going on. "Li Bin doesn't understand what this agricultural tax in Daqi is all about. But this is closely related to his future food harvest, and Li Bin also wants to figure it out. ”

Li Bin didn't even know what was going on with Daqi's Tian Fu, and he was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Li Bin is currently a nobleman, and he is a celebrity in front of today's saints, no matter how strange Li Bin's question is, Ma Kui has to wait carefully with a smiling face.

"Lord Hou, the fifteenth tax refers to the fact that after the landlord collects five-tenths of the land output from the tenant farmers, that is, half of the land rent, the landlord pays one-tenth of the land output to the state. That is, the output of the land is 10 shares, and after the landlord and the tenant farmer open the five-fifty shares, the landlord pays another tax to the state. That is, the government rent rate is 50% and the tax rate is 1/10%. ”

Hear the words. Li Bin immediately said: "That means that according to the land tax rate stipulated by Daqi, the farmers in my food yi harvest 100 catties of grain. Can I receive 50 catties, and then take out 10 catties of grain from the 50 catties of grain I received and hand it over to the imperial court? ”

"What Master Hou said is completely correct."

Li Bin said: "Isn't the pressure on farmers' fields a little bigger? The harvest is divided in half, and it is good to say that it will be good in a good year. If there is a famine, a disaster year. Isn't it difficult for farmers to survive and survive? ”

Li Bin's words. It made Ma Kui feel a little incredible, there was actually a master who would think about the farmers, and the landlords of the Great Qi Kingdom were all digging out their hearts to collect more grain from the farmers. However, due to Li Bin's special identity and status, Ma Kui had no choice but to hold it and say: "Master Hou is really compassionate and considers so much for ordinary farmers. Being able to become a tenant of the Hou Ye's family can be regarded as their three lives. ”

The reason why Li Bin has the worry that the land endowment is too high is actually from the perspective of maximizing his own long-term interests, no matter how good the field is, there must be farmers to cultivate the crops to have a harvest, the tax is too high, the farmers may lose, the temporary income looks too much, but in the long run, this is not enough. In the end, it was the big landlord who was victimized.

Li Bin asked: "Spur History, can I change the Tian Fu in my food by myself?" ”

"Back to Hou Ye's words, generally speaking, the landlord has no right to change the land tax set by the state without authorization, but Hou Ye's food is a food town, and Hou Ye has the power to kill and kill the people in the food town, as long as Hou Ye pays the full amount of the court every year, everything in Hou Ye's food is completely up to Hou Ye's decision." Ma Kui replied cautiously.

Spurs' words reassured Li Bin, as long as he can make a full decision, then everything will be easy.

Li Bin led the Thorn Shi Ma Kui to ride horses around Luofu Mountain, but all the fertile fields that Li Bin fancied were all under the name of Jingwu Hou Shiyi.

A hundred miles away from Luofu Mountain, where the Futu Gate is located, a flat and open land is full of paddy fields with ravines and ravines. Seeing so many fertile fields at a glance is rare in a province like Lingnan, where there is a lack of fertile land.

Li Bin sat on his horse and swallowed his saliva. He pointed to the fine paddy field with his hand and said, "I want all of them." ”

"Lord Hou, that paddy field belongs to Uncle Guo." Spurs panicked.

Empress Daqi, that is, the biological mother of the eldest prince, the uncle of the country mentioned in the mouth of the spur Shi is the younger brother of the queen and the uncle of the eldest prince King Jin.

"Uncle Guo's hand is too long, right? Have you come to Lingnan to grab land? Li Bin said coldly, the relationship between the eldest prince King Jin and King Chu has never been harmonious because of the competition for the throne, and Li Bin is not very interested in King Jin.

"Back to the Hou Ye, these fields are not Uncle Guo's food estate, Uncle Guo built a mountain villa in Lingnan a few years ago, and he took a fancy to these fields, so he forcibly occupied them for himself." Ma Kui stabbed the truth.

Hearing this, Li Bin was even more disdainful, and said: "Even so, this Hou Ye has the right to take it back, right?" Yawei, remember, this paddy field is mine from now on. ”

"Obey the teacher's orders." Butler Wei Yawei responded.

"Master Hou, the lower officials don't know whether to say it or not." Ma Kui said carefully.

"Hurry up!" Li Bin said impatiently, the most annoying thing is the winding words of officialdom.

"Master Hou, although Uncle Guo's land is not a nominal food town, it can be regarded as a field under Uncle Guo's name, if Lord Hou forcibly occupies it, the lower officials are worried that Uncle Guo will be unhappy." Spur Shi said what he was worried about, after all, the uncle of the country is the younger brother of the queen and the uncle of the eldest prince, although he has no official position or position, he can also be regarded as a relative of the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Ordinary local officials would not dare to provoke easily, let alone blatantly grab land like Li Bin.

However, this paddy field is the most fertile field Li Bin has seen today, and this paddy field must have at least thousands of acres, and the fertilizer is flowing with oil.

In addition, there are many wastelands that have not been cultivated in the vicinity of the paddy fields, and the development potential is huge.

Now, Li Bin's problem with money has been solved, and the Futu Sect is not short of money, but the food supply has always been a big problem for Li Bin, and with the expanding scale of the disciples of the Futu Sect, the demand for food will only increase.

The current situation in Daqi is unstable, and the surrounding situation is also tense, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a troubled time.

What is the most precious thing in troubled times? Grain!

In extreme cases, it is difficult to buy food for silver and silver.

Since Li Bin has the title of Marquis of 10,000 households in Daqi, and has the privilege of 10,000 households, he does not plan early at this time, and plans for the future, let alone when.

As long as these fields are not the food of the uncle, it is reasonable and legal to occupy them by themselves.

Is your uncle happy or not! As for Queen Wang and King Jin, Li Bin was even more lazy to worry about it.

The old emperor did not set up the eldest prince born to the queen, King Jin, as the crown prince, it is already obvious that the queen is not favored by the old emperor at all, and Li Bin has seen it with his own eyes, and the king of Jin is not allowed to be seen by the old emperor.

Otherwise, as the eldest prince, there is no reason to let the fourth prince, King Qi Xing of Chu, take the lead everywhere, and he didn't even have a little bit of the real power of the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Spur History, since these fields were bought by Uncle Guo, I will also pay the silver money to buy the fields according to the actual land price, and I will not lose a cent of Uncle Guo's. I will settle the land. Not only these paddy fields, but also this wasteland around the paddy fields, I want them. Li Bin said in an unquestioning tone.

"Okay, Master Hou." Seeing Li Bin's resolute attitude, Spurs didn't dare to say anything more. (To be continued......)
