Chapter 403: Raw Fried Han Langzhong

Kong Shen told her to be on the boulder at the bottom of Longgang Mountain, calculating the height of the mountain.

Concubine Han laid out the calculations, and after some calculations, she calculated the vertical height of the peak in front of Longgang Mountain to be 694 zhang 6 feet 5 inches.

Hey, Kong Shen was a little skeptical, and specifically asked the guard to climb the rock in a straight line with a rope, and it depends on her ability in the end. The guards climbed to the top of the mountain, found a cliff to hang down the rope, and reported the number, and sure enough, it was six hundred and ninety zhang, which was not as accurate as Concubine Han's calculation.

immediately hired her, told her to go home to clean up, and immediately went to Luoyang to take up the position of the planner. Concubine Han knew that Zhuge Chun would not agree, so when she returned home, she lied that her mother's family had an emergency, and she would go home in a few days.

In this way, Concubine Han turned into a planner of the Later Tang Dynasty Tenant Mansion, from the official of the fifth rank, if it is a military attachΓ©, this rank can be named a baron.

However, Concubine Han's calculations are limited to the addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and multiplication of counts and solving arithmetic problems, and cannot calculate the position of the stars, the ecliptic equator, the auspicious and evil fortunes, etc., not to mention when and what moment the auspicious and evil fortunes will occur.

Many of the nominal taxes issued by the tenant envoys were executed by the tenant eunuchs and tenant eunuchs sent to various states, and these officials soon arrived in Xuzhou with the edict of the Son of Heaven. Xiao County Commander dared not slack off, and called Cao Cao Zheng to quickly increase the number of rent officials and go to various towns and towns to collect taxes from door to door.

If the annual tax is more than 10,000 yuan, Concubine Han will personally come to the door to calculate the tax paid. The whole clan, led by the all-knowing sandalwood business, is famous all over the world.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the second brother of the three heroes of Erhe built the Xiaohou Mansion in Longhu, Tangshan. He was because of the withdrawal of investment by Yizong Nanzhao and the time of the war in Jiaozhou, and he made great contributions, and he was given a gold medal "Sandalwood Seller", and he was allowed to sell Sandalwood to pass through the customs and Tianjin to be exempted from taxation.

Now, the dynasty has changed, first the Zhuliang Dynasty, and the previous dynasty's policy of taking care of these giant merchants was automatically invalidated. Now that the Later Liang Dynasty has perished and changed to the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Cunmiao called for the full restoration of all official settings and legal policies in the Tang Dynasty, but the only thing for the tax policy has become more severe and set up such a tenant.

Since the laws of the Tang Dynasty have been restored, women can also be officials, so there is more than one concubine like Han Marriage.

At this time, the helmsman of Xiaohou Mansion is a soul destroyer, and Tiansha understands everything. He secretly thought about it, since the Tang Dynasty King Law was restored, then who would be reasonable, so he took out the gold medal of the sandalwood seller and raised the edict of Yizong.

Look at how you officials who claim to be the Tang Dynasty deal with it, if you dare to come nonsense, you will directly go to the Assassin's Mansion or even Luoyang. If it really doesn't work, I will give him this Kong Qian and Kong Shen.

Small businesses have been levied one by one, and the taxes have increased by five to fifteen times compared to the original ones, and the vast majority of small businesses are on the verge of collapse. The peasant households who cultivated the land were even more miserable, and most of their family's grain was expropriated and borrowed everywhere. But every family is like this, there is nothing to borrow, and nine out of ten families suddenly washed their faces with tears.

There were many complaints everywhere, and many merchants jointly designed to dig horse pits, stumble horses, and masked themselves to recover the money they had overcharged. It's just that there is no large-scale gathering like salt merchants Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao.

Finally, it was the turn of the giant merchant's house, and before the end of the year, this day was the twelfth day of the lunar month.

Early in the morning, Concubine Han led a forbidden army and came to Xiaohou's Mansion to find the head of the household who knew how to calculate the taxes to be paid. The all-knowing family has long been familiar with her, and the famous Zhuge Chun's wife nearby, who doesn't know who doesn't know?

There is also an important relationship, that is, the fathers of Quan and Zhuge Chun are brothers who are righteous.

The father of all-understanding, called an all-rounder, handsome and talented, is the son of the Tanshi Dealer Hou and Xiao Hou Quancheng, and worships the "Three Talents of Longqiu". He is the third brother.

The eldest brother above is called Wang Zhi, and the word is eloquent. The second brother Zhuge Ren, a word wizard.

Wang Xiongcai, Zhuge Qicai, and Quan Shuaicai, the three brothers, were married and had children when they were twenty-five years old.

All kinds of relationships are involved, gathered in Longgang Town, all with the word "Cai", shouting wonderfully, the three of them understand each other's situation, speak very speculatively, and bow down.

Of course, Concubine Han also knows the wife who understands everything, are the two families worldly friends? But with the contempt of the literati family for the merchants, she thought that the imperial court would rectify a few merchants, and it would be a piece of cake.

What's more, the forbidden arms Chang Yuetong, that is a disciple of Zhang Daoling's faction, who is good at making sixty-four pounds of camel dragon spears, wearing a Tiantai sword at his waist, and a large "Tiantai Sword Immortal". The giant merchants really rebelled, and one killed the other.

Quan understands that he is not at home? Quan understands that he took his two sons Quan Hou miserable and Quan Hou to go to Chaoge's hometown, and the annual Laba meeting cannot be missed. From the meeting in Laba to the 234th of the month of Lap, the goods sold on this trip can cover more than half a year of travel.

Can Bai Yunyan, the all-knowing wife, still not know how to deal with it? The housewives of the giant businessman's house are not covered. Bai Yunyan took out Tang Yizong's edict and the imperial gold medal, and said, "Please Han Langzhong take a look at this." ”

Concubine Han looked at it and said, "At that time, the tax on Guanjin was exempted, and now it is still the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be exempted." However, this time, the newly established Tenant Embassy exercised power outside of Guanjin. Besides, there were no tenants at that time, so how could this edict restrain the current tenants?"

What Concubine Han said is really reasonable, reasonable and well-founded. made Bai Yunyan speechless, and the housekeeper Li Nianli and the old and young who stayed at home also opened their mouths, so they had to let the family calculate the amount to pay.

Concubine Han inspected the number of maids, companions, children, elders, livestock, and rooms up and down the Xiaohou Mansion, and came up with the daily expenses. According to the common sense that the ratio of income to expenditure of merchants is ten to one, the calculation is opened, and after a calculation, the annual net income of the data is 300,000 yuan.

According to the various tax rates set by the tenant envoy, the comprehensive calculation is to pay 130,000 yuan of silver. According to the situation that he has the edict of Yizong, he will be appropriately exempted and exempted, and he needs to pay various taxes of 110,000 yuan.

This astronomical figure was about to be stunned, and he hurriedly discussed with the housekeeper Li Nianli.

Endorsed in the book, Li Nianli is Li Candle's second son, Li Niantan and Li Nianyan's second brother, the Li family and the whole family are also world friends, and Quan understands that Li Nianli is a righteous brother. Li Nianli has been a housekeeper in the Quanzhi Mansion for a long time, which is equivalent to him wanting his descendants to change careers and stop drying red dates. Why is his name Li Nianli?

Is this very simple, the earliest knighthood of Marquis Li Jing is Li Yangnan, and as the second son, he is naturally called Li Nianli. The three brothers were named like this, so how did his eldest brother get his name?

Their eldest brother is named Li Niancha. This word is Feng Cha, the eldest brother who was rescued by Li Jing in his early years. Because of his official residence in Liyang County, when the Great War to exterminate the Yan Kingdom occurred, Li Jing became a knighted general, and became the first person in the Jiangnan to carry out business during the Tang Dynasty.

Feng Cha died at the hands of assassins sent by the Minister of Iwakoku, Wang Duo, so Li Jing told future generations to remember it forever.

Li Nianli took out the account books and said: "Han Langzhong, in a giant businessman like ours, in order to avoid people from making trouble, the accounts are very detailed. Even when I buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on weekdays, I remember it clearly. You can calculate according to the accounts, and our family's gross income does not exceed 20,000 yuan per year. ”

At this time, Li Jin, the miserable wife of the eldest son, and Wang Zhen, the wife of the second son, came over together, and they all felt incredible.

Endorsed in the book, Li Jin is the daughter of Li Nianli. Wang Zhen is the sister of Wang Qiong, the leader of the rebel army in Lanzhou. Wang Qiong and Wang Zhen are brothers and sisters, and they are the descendants of Emperor Kundao, the god of jade sellers, and the Marquis of Xuyi.

Li Jin said: "Han Langzhong, if we let our family pay 110,000 yuan, all the savings of decades will be emptied, and we will immediately become nothing. ”

Concubine Han persuaded her: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, a general and an order." We are also carrying out the edict of the Son of Heaven today, and please bear with us our difficulties. According to your family's accounts, it is okay for me to recalculate, and it will definitely not be less than 100,000. ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly begged: "Please also ask Han Langzhong's subordinates to be merciful and help recalculate." Our family's real annual net income, according to the best year, is only 8,000 yuan. ”

Bai Yunyan, Li Nianli, and Li Jin also begged together, and immediately put up the wine and meat. Li Nianli secretly stuffed Concubine Han into her hand and hung a gold necklace. He also gave Yue Tong, the general of the forbidden army, some scattered silver, and asked the ten members of the fire forbidden army to serve on the table together and chew and drink.

Concubine Han was silent and ate wine and meat boldly. It seems that she is a woman after all, and she is still a little compassionate.

After eating wine and dinner at noon, Li Nianli settled them for a lunch break. Concubine Han whispered to Yue Tong, Yue Tong trembled, and replied resignedly: "In the past few days, Langzhong's marrow washing technique has made the last general's back ache, and it is difficult to escort him in case he encounters a strong man all the way." I hope to find someone else. ”

Concubine Han couldn't help but laugh: "You go and order Li Nianli to come and practice the art of frying fish with me." If you don't comply, the Xiaohou Mansion will be confiscated. ”

Yue Tong had no choice but to follow the order. It didn't take much effort, Li Nianli came over, and Concubine Han asked: "Li Daxia is famous, I don't know if you have practiced the art of frying fish?"

When Li Nianli heard this, this request was normal. Regardless of whether male or female officials are far away from their wives or husbands all the year round, they always have to find a way to solve the needs of the world's most enjoyable people. When he saw Yue Tong withdraw, he asked rhetorically: "How can it be that you can fry fish, and the grass people have even more skills in stewing cows." ”

Concubine Han was overjoyed, couldn't help laughing, grabbed Li Nianli, first practiced the art of fried fish together, and then practiced the art of stewing beef together. The lunch break lasted for an hour at most, and they fried the big fish for an hour and a half, and they were very satisfied with both times.

In the afternoon, Concubine Han said to Bai Yunyan: "It is not easy to think of the peddlers, and we are friends of the same town in Longgang Mountain, so we will recalculate the tax according to the accounts you have kept." ”

Bai Yunyan thanked him and whispered to him: "Lang Zhong is well versed in the art of frying fish, and Yunyan can also give one." I'll give it tonight. ”

Concubine Han poked Bai Yunyan: "Sure enough, it is the home of a giant businessman, and it knows the best about the happiness of the world." Thank you, there are still important things to do in the evening. ”

Bai Yunyan smiled and waved his hand to Li Nianli: "You need to offer fresh fish tonight, understand?"

Li Nianli bowed slightly, and immediately went to settle down. So who to turn to at night?

There are no less than 100 strong men in Xiaohou Mansion who take care of the family, all of them are descendants of people who have been subordinates in Xiaohou Mansion, and some are descendants of the whole clan. They don't live in the Hou Mansion, but they are scattered all over Tanshi Village, as long as Li Nianli rings the bell of the general, it will not take half an hour to gather, and they will all gather in the Xiao Hou Mansion.

After a while, Li Nianli found a nine-foot-long giant man, who spoke like a flash flood and walked like an elephant. Handsome face, in his thirties, three locks of green beard and broad shoulders. This person's surname is Yiqi, a single name with a lance character, the word collapses, and the large Ferris God General.

From the name, it can be seen that the word Yi Qi is a noun of marksmanship. Why is it so named?

Yi Qi's great-grandfather Yi Qi Split was Xiao Hou's business companion in his later years, and the whole city married a wife for him and bred in Tanshi Village. Because Yi Qi's length was beyond ordinary people, he was able to lift the top and make seventy-eight catties and five poisons penetrate the dragon spear, so his descendants passed it on from generation to generation.

The compound surname of Yi Qi is Yi Qi, which is so old that it is not so old anymore, this is the surname of the first emperor recorded in Chinese history, Shennong the Great. Although there are very few people with this surname, as long as they hear about it, people will add a lot of respect first.

Yi Qi was taken into the mansion by Li Nianli, went straight to the main hall, and came to meet Concubine Han.

With the arrival of Yi Qi Bang, how will Concubine Han feel and how much tax will she calculate?
