On the second day, before Xiao Yuran returned home, the emperor's decree arrived at Xiao's house.

After the father-in-law of the decree announced the decree completely, Yu Changning glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper directly stepped forward and gave the father-in-law a silver ticket.

When the father-in-law saw the silver ticket in his hand, the smile on his face became even stronger, he gave the holy decree to Xiao Qingyu, and then said to Yu Changning, "The princess is polite, when our family left the palace, the emperor said that the eldest prince attaches great importance to the land, so he directly ordered our family to take the eldest prince to see where the land is." ”

Yu Changning nodded when she heard this, the emperor's meaning is definitely not as simple as it seems, but since the emperor said so, then it is right to think about it like this, she said to Xiao Qingyu and Xiao Qingyi, "Since the prince took you to see the fiefdom, then Qingyi should also follow!" Let's see if there is anything that can help, Qingyi can also help! ”

Xiao Qingyi nodded when he heard this, indicating that he knew.

Gu Wantang stood beside Xiao Qingyu, "I'm going too." ”

Xiao Qingyu didn't mean to leave Gu Wantang alone in the palace side by side, but when he heard Gu Wantang say this, Xiao Qingyu nodded, "You naturally want to go with you, I will definitely not be able to be busy with things over there in the future, and I will still need your help when the time comes." ”

Wanhu Hou's fief is in the suburbs, this place is actually the emperor once copied a minister's field, this field is very fertile, it can be said that the field near this place is the most fertile, people who want to pay attention to this place are not nothing, but since the land is in the hands of the emperor, then it must not be so good.

In the distance, Xiao Qingyu and the others saw a fenced field, and at a glance, they couldn't see the end at all, at this time, wheat was being planted in the field, and it looked very well cared for.

After the prince asked people to open the fenced door, he said to Xiao Qingyu and Xiao Qingyi, "This is the fief of the Marquis of Wanhu, and the fields that are fenced here are owned by the Marquis of Wanhu.

There are as many as 500 acres here, although it is not as good as the fiefs of those princes, but this place is in the capital, you must know that the fields in the capital must be much more expensive than the land in the fiefs of the princes.

The most important thing is that the Marquis of Wanhu is a hereditary title, that is, the sons, grandsons, and even grandchildren of the Marquis of Wanhu can become the Marquis of Wanhu, but the princes are different, as long as it is not hereditary, then the title will be lower from generation to generation, until it is finally lowered. ”

Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang actually didn't care much about whether the Marquis of Wanhu was a hereditary title, the two entered the wall, and saw that there were no weeds in the field, the two glanced at each other, and then walked forward.

"When there was no owner in this place before, it was all the private property of the emperor, but now that there is a master, then everything in this is decided by the Marquis of Wanhu.

The Marquis of Wanhu felt that it was suitable to come, but before our family came, the emperor said, 'Now that this place has been handed over to the Marquis of Wanhu, then the Marquis of Wanhu needs to take out 10% of the harvest every year and hand it over to the treasury.' ’

I don't know what objections Wanhu Hou has? ”

Xiao Qingyu shook his head, this is not a hard and fast rule on how much to pay, but it says that one percent of the annual harvest is one, so there is no need to be afraid of where to get and pay one percent of this harvest in case the harvest is not good. For the Honored Academy

Xiao Qingyu and the others walked for almost two quarters of an hour before they walked to the mansion of the Marquis of Wanhu, which was not in the capital, but in the fiefdom of the Marquis of Wanhu on the outskirts of the capital.

Compared with other Hou Mansions, the Hou Mansion of Wanhu Hou can be said to be very simple, and even very simple, but looking at this house, Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of joy.

To be honest, whether it is Xiao Qingyu or Gu Wantang, they all want to re-plan this mansion, if it is like the ordinary Hou Mansion, it will be very troublesome for them to plan.

When the prince went to the palace side by side to announce the decree, he sent someone to the mansion of the Marquis of Wanhu early, and at this time he heard someone talking outside, and the door of the Marquis of Wanhu opened from the inside, "Welcome to the Hou Ye, Mrs. Hou Ye." ”

Xiao Qingyu looked at this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, but looking at Xiao Qingyi next to him, there was no change, so Xiao Qingyu didn't say anything.

Gu Wantang glanced at Xiao Qingyu, and then said to the person kneeling on the ground, "You all get up!" Hou Ye also wants to visit this place, you can do what you are doing on weekdays, and the rest of the things will be talked about tomorrow. ”

The butler who was kneeling at the front raised his eyes and glanced at the prince when he heard this, but what he saw was the prince nodding, and he stood up directly, "If the lord and the lady have anything, just say it directly, and everyone in the ten thousand households will obey the dispatch of the two." ”

After everyone had retreated, Xiao Qingyu looked at the housekeeper waiting next to him, "Do all of them live in this mansion?" ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper nodded, "The Hou Mansion is a courtyard with four entrances, and all of us live in the outermost courtyard, and only a few maids who were sent yesterday live in the courtyard of Sanjin, which is the closest to the innermost courtyard." ”

Xiao Qingyu and Gu Wantang finally nodded when they heard this, the two of them are actually people with a strong sense of territory, and they can only have themselves in their territory.

After looking at the entire Wanhu Hou's mansion, Gu Wantang and the others went to the main hall of the Wanhu Hou to rest, and the maids who could come to the Wanhu Hou Mansion were carefully selected by Yu Changning.

After sitting and resting for a while, the prince stood up, "Since the Marquis of Wanhu has already looked at the entire house, then our family is going to leave, after all, our family has enough time to come out." ”

Xiao Qingyu smiled at Wang Gonggong when he heard this, "Wang Gonggong, I'm sorry for you." Then he handed another ingot of silver into the prince's hand.

Wang Gonggong pinched the silver ingot in his hand, and then smiled at Xiao Qingyu, "Our family is here to congratulate Wanhu Hou in advance." ”

After sending the prince away, Xiao Qingyi didn't want to get up lazily at all, but seeing that Gu Wantang and Xiao Qingyu planned to go shopping again, he was very helpless to follow.

Gu Wantang and Xiao Qingyu spent an hour looking at the entire field, "We don't have to worry about this season's planting, after all, they have planted things, and when this season's grain is harvested, let's talk about changes." ”
