Xu Shiji made Yang Rui a guard, basically wherever Yang Rui went, he had to follow him, he was completely a waiter.

But he is very, very happy, because what he is serving is most likely the future prince, not to mention just being a guard, and he can serve a urinal.

Serving people is to do everything, don't laugh at other people's urinals, people are serving urinals to leaders, and when they face you, they will pee on the top of your head.

If you want to be productive in this life, groveling is a necessary skill, lick the right person, lick the good person, you can get the opportunity to be licked by others.

is still the same sentence, if you don't have a grandson, you can't be a grandfather.

Li Shimin is leaving, so Yang Rui and the eldest grandson Wuji have been running to the Tang State Mansion these days, and even Yang Jin rushed to hear the news, after all, his relationship with Shimin is not bad.

It's August now, and it will take two months to go to Jiangdu at the earliest, and then spend the New Year in Jiangdu, and you can almost be a princess.

In fact, the reason why Yang Guang agreed so simply was because he asked his daughter, Yang Qi is indeed interesting to the people, so it's easy to say, my daughter, isn't it up to you to choose your daughter?

As for whether Li Shimin is happy or not, almost no one cares, if he dares to say that he is not happy, Li Yuan can break his legs.

"So, Yuanji and Zhiyun should also follow?" Yang Jin ate fresh plums and asked Chao Shimin.

In the Great Sui, there are five kinds of favorite fruits of the aristocracy, headed by green plums, Leng pears as vices, cherries as three, ganzi as four, and peach as five, plums are enshrined as the king of all fruits in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and they ripen in July and August, and it is the season to eat plums now.

Among them, the sweet nut is the orange, and the peach is the grape.

And the plum that Yang Rui eats is not an ordinary plum, it is a Jiaqing green plum produced in Jiaqingfang, the eastern capital, known as the king of plums.

Because the production of this thing is very small, it is not eaten by ordinary people.

Yang Ming doesn't like to eat plums, because there is a saying: peaches are full, apricots hurt people, and dead people are buried under plum trees.

Peaches are nutritious and can be eaten full, apricots are hot and easy to get angry, plums are cool, and eating too much cold food hurts the spleen, so there will be such a saying.

Yang Jin likes to eat plums since he was a child, and he eats them as a meal, and Yang Ming has taught him many times, so he only dares to eat them behind his father's back now.

"Eat less, how many times has my father taught you, but I still can't change it," Yang Rui said to his younger brother.

Yang Jin smiled: "If you don't say it, I don't say it, everyone doesn't say it, how can my father know?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we won't say it, Your Highness can eat," Dou said with a smile: "This time, our family will go to Jiangdu, and only leave a partial house to watch the door, Tang Gonghe Jiancheng will not leave for the time being, and will have to wait until the New Year." ”

Yang Jin sighed and said, "Then we will see the people of the world again, I don't know when we will wait." ”

Li Shimin was also sad, just these few friends, he must be reluctant to move his family to Jiangdu, how good would it be if he got married in Beijing? There are many friends, and it is lively.

Wei Jue also smiled on the side today: "I often hear my family say that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are warm and elegant, and I want to go to the small bridge, but I don't have the opportunity." ”

Many of their families are cattle people who have traveled from south to north, and they still know Jiangnan very well.

When Yang Rui heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "If I ask my father, princess, and concubine to let me go to Jiangdu, do you think they will agree?" ”

"No," everyone shook their heads at the same time.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "You are the eldest son, the capital is from the capital to the Jiangdu, not to mention the distance of thousands of miles, the prince will definitely not agree." ”

"It's good to be able to get you out of Kyoto, but you still want to get out of Guanzhong?" Yang Jin smiled slyly on the side.

Wei Qi knew that Yang Rui's words were because of himself, and in addition to being happy in his heart, he hurriedly said:

"We are still young, and we will have the opportunity to go to the river by boat, but I can't stand the bumps of the boat now, and I will vomit."

When Yang Rui heard this, he nodded: "In the future, we will be older, and I will take you there." ”

Two days later, Yang Rui and the others kept sending Shimin to Chang'an Station, and then they reluctantly waved goodbye.

"How should I live without the people?" Yang Rui looked up to the sky and sighed.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Don't you still have me?

After Li Xiuning took his son Yang Cong to say goodbye to everyone, he returned to the palace, Yang Cong is only five years old today, and he can't play with them.

"Let's go, go to Wuji's new home and have a look," Yang Jin pulled the two of them and began to go back, Jiancheng followed behind, and after sending the person to Gao Shilian's mansion, he went back to the Ministry of Rites.

The eldest grandson Wuji and they have now lived in his uncle Gao Shilian's house, and I have to say that this uncle is really in place.

The Wuji brothers and sisters do whatever they want in the house, just like in their own home, unrestrained.

Generally, the daughter who marries out spills the water, and the younger sister is not doing well, so as the elder brother, she can help, but like Gao Shilian, who directly feeds is a minority.

Of course, there is another reason, Gao Shilian's mother is still alive.

The arrival of Yang Rui and their families naturally made Gaofu shine, and Gao Shilian and his family were wholeheartedly entertained.

His daughter-in-law is the Xianyu clan, the Tiele people who moved into the area of Dingxian County, Hebei Province in the Central Plains during the Northern Wei Dynasty, a branch of the Xiongnu people, and have basically integrated into the Han nationality.

Gao Shilian was originally from the old Qi royal family, there was no way, the country was ruined, so he couldn't marry the daughter of a wealthy family, but his daughter-in-law is really a good daughter-in-law, the old mother is all supported by others, thrifty and frugal, husband and children, no choice.

is such a good daughter-in-law who will tolerate her husband's sister's family living in, and treat it completely as a family.

The eldest grandson Wuji met his aunt, which was closer than his own uncle.

"Are there any plums?" Yang Jin looked at the food on the long table and said directly.

Gao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "There is no mansion, Your Highness will wait a while, and the minister will go and buy some for you." ”

Then, Gao Shilian called his eldest son, Gao Cheng, and told him to go to the treasury to get some money and go out to buy plums.

"If you want Jiaqing green plums, they are sold in the East Market," Yang Jin reminded.

Don't think Yang Jin is polite, in fact, his character is to follow his mother, what to say, he won't come to the void, if I want to eat plums, I will say it directly, and I won't beat around the bush with you.

Yang Rui has been looking at the situation in the mansion since he entered the mansion, and at this moment he frowned and said:

"I see that your house is quite poor, and the governance of Honglu Temple is considered to be from the sixth grade, right? Is there very little? ”

Gao Shilian said with a smile: "Actually, there are a lot, 2,000 yuan a month, 300 stone for food, 400 yuan for miscellaneous use, and 100 stone for rice at the end of the year." ”

The rice at the end of the year is almost the meaning of the year-end bonus.

Officials in ancient China, the salary has not been high, so corruption is commonplace, the Song Dynasty is OK, there was a period of high salary and integrity, the effect is not ideal, the Ming Dynasty is the worst, the official's salary can not be paid.

Da Sui, it's high, but Gao Shilian's monthly salary is definitely not enough, after all, there are so many people in the family, so there must be a way to make money.

In fact, it's very simple, what does Honglu Temple do? Receiving foreign guests, Taoist temples across the country, guests, auspicious and evil ceremonies, these three major pieces are very rich in oil and water.

For example, Chen Shuming is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and this year he presided over two high-level funerals of Liang Bi and Changsun Chi, and the imperial court allocated funeral expenses, part of which was Honglu Temple flowers, responsible for funeral preparations, as long as you spend money, you can make money.

Gao Shilian followed Liu Su, the squire of the Ministry of Works, to Bashu, build temples, buy and sell monks, and made a lot of money, but he didn't dare to spend it, because the money was not visible.

Everyone knows that he is very poor, and if he renovates the mansion all at once, the people of the Imperial Historical Observatory will ask, where did you get your money? Can't answer? Let's go, go to the Criminal Department.

So the current Gao Shilian is rich, but his family looks shabby.

Yang Rui looked at Yang Jin and asked, "Do we have any moons?" ”

"No, right? Aren't we both our father's? Yang Jin said.

Gao Shilian was stunned, I don't dare to answer this, you two are princes, and the prince is a good product, how can there be no Yulu?

But Wei Jue didn't think about it so much, and said directly: "You two have food, you don't have to care about that bit at all." ”

"So, I should have a fortune too?" Yang Rui asked.

Wei Jue nodded: "My grandfather is the Duke of Xunguo, this is from the first product, the monthly salary is 8,000 stones, the food is 1,800 stones, the miscellaneous use is 1,200 yuan, and the Lu rice is 600 stones. ”

"That's not much, isn't it?" Yang Jin roughly calculated.

If the two of them were the kings of the county, they would have actual fiefdoms, but when they became princes, they didn't have them, but they had a lot of food.

The prince's food is 10,000 households, which is calculated by households, not Ding, and the taxes of the Great Sui are calculated by Ding, so the taxes paid by the two of them every year are constantly changing.

According to the calculation of Ding, one Ding pays 500 catties of grain a year, 10,000 Ding, which is 5 million catties, according to the current weights and measures, it is about equal to 140,000 stone of grain, and it is about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in terms of households.

Compared with the food estate, their income is indeed not worth mentioning.

However, since the Great Sui, there are two kinds of weights and measures, Yang Jian's large system of weights and measures, almost used until the Qing Dynasty, but after Yang Guang's reform, he reverted to the ancient system and became a small system of weights and measures, and this small system of weights and measures was not used in the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Jian's was used again.

The large system of weights and measures was opened by Yang Jian, and Gu Yanwu called it in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: since three generations, the system of power has changed since Emperor Wen of Sui.

The three generations are Xia, Shang, and Zhou.

Therefore, according to the mainstream Chinese weights and measures standards, the total amount of grain in Yang Rui's annual food is between 780,000 and 100,000 stones, so it doesn't sound so exaggerated.

After all, one stone in Yang Jian's period was 120 catties, and now it is only 35 catties.

"Have you ever seen the taxes that we eat?" Yang Rui asked.

Yang Jin asked rhetorically, "Have you seen it?" ”

Yang Rui shook his head, and Yang Jin also shook his head.

The corners of Wei Qi's eyebrows moved, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly made up for it:

"Because you two aren't adults yet."

Yang Rui frowned and said: "Not necessarily, when I was still the king of Hedong, I knew that Hedong County paid taxes to me, although I haven't seen it, but I didn't have it when I became a prince?" ”

"Don't think about it," Yang Jin said directly: "I was spent by our grandpa." ”

Yang Rui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You can't say that, without Grandpa, where did we get the title?" So that money was originally grandpa's. ”

"Well," Yang Jin nodded: "You are more talkative than me, this is the reason." (End of chapter)
