Inside the village of Hexi.

Qin Shou successfully met the village leader of Hexi Village.

"It turns out that this place is your lord's land."

Wang Xianghe, the village official, said slowly with an apologetic face: "That field has been idle for nearly two years, and no one has taken care of it. ”

"I thought that the owner of this field had forgotten about this place, and that field was also the best fertile land in Hexi Village, so it was a pity that it was idle."

"In addition, the harvest has not been good in recent years, so I asked the villagers to pool their money to buy some seeds, sow them in the field, and when the harvest is done, they will distribute the grain according to the labor of each family."

Saying this, Wang Xianghe's face showed a trace of shame.

In any case, his actions were wrong, and he took possession without the consent of his owner, which is no different from theft.

Fang Xiaoshang secretly glanced at Qin Shou, who was born in a peasant family, and he could clearly perceive the difficulties of farmers.

Seeing a field that has been idle, it is unrighteous to have such thoughts, but it is also understandable.

If the fields were in his name, he would probably reprimand the farmers and tell them not to plant any more crops after they had harvested them.

But alas, this is the land where the palace is located.

In addition, Qin Shou had clearly said that he was a self-interested person before, so for a while, Fang Xiaoshang was a little hesitant.

He even thought that the rumor prince would twist these people to the government.

Qin Shou calmly looked at the account book that was being handed over in the village, which detailed how much money was spent by whoever in the village had purchased seeds and how much labor had been spent taking care of the fields.

and the annual harvest and distribution.

After a long time, Qin Shou gently threw the account book on the table and asked, "Does the annual tax take into account the harvest here?" ”

The village was embarrassed and apparently did not take this into account.

Qin Shou frowned slightly, then looked at Fang Xiaoshang and said, "Our royal mansion's taxes are paid here, right?" ”

In the early Tang Dynasty, in addition to the rent adjustment, there were two additional taxes, "land tax" (two liters per mu) and "household tax"

If you have land, you will have rent, if you have a family, you will have a tune, and if you have a body, you will have mediocrity.

Even the royal relatives are no exception.

Fang Xiaoshang said: "There are a total of fifteen acres of land in the name of the palace, and the tax is: thirty liters of tax. ”

Qin Shou nodded, and lightly tapped the ledger with his fingertips: "Although the fields here are idle, I paid the taxes for you." ”

"Originally, if I didn't know, I would have forgotten it, but now that I know, I will have to collect a certain harvest."

Hearing this, Wang Xianghe breathed a sigh of relief, since he was willing to harvest, it meant that the matter was private.

Hurriedly said: "We are willing to make up the tax." ”

Qin Shou chuckled: "Before, I saw that the harvest of the land was okay, and the rent plus taxes was a total of sixty liters. ”

"That's it."

To be honest, sixty liters of grain is really just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of Qin Shou today.

Every stroke in the ledger was clearly recorded, and he made a rough estimate, and if the annual harvest was converted into silver taels, it would only be thirty or forty taels of silver.

It's about the same as the profit of about seven days of the liquor store.

Sixty liters of grain.

The village was completely relieved and thanked again and again.

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "I'm not just here for this matter, after the wheat is harvested, you will set aside about an acre of land." ”

"Then send someone to Chang'an City to find a housekeeper in the palace of the king, and he will arrange for you to do some things."

After hearing that the king's mansion was set up, the village was so frightened that his lips trembled all the time, and the king... Fu, you, are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

As he spoke, the village was trembling and almost about to fall.

On the way to the Department of Medicine.

Fang Xiaoshang chuckled and said, "I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ask for more. ”

Qin Shou closed his eyes slightly, and smiled helplessly: "In Steward Fang's heart, am I the kind of person who cares?" ”

Fang Xiaoshang's gaze fell on the front and did not speak.

Qin Shou's voice came from inside the carriage again.

"I care about some money, but some money, it's not like that."

"If the village is just messing around, I'm afraid it won't be a problem that can be solved by just 60 liters of grain."

Fang Xiaoshang said: "Speaking of which, I've always been curious why the prince wants to grow something called potatoes? ”

"Could it be that Fusang Country can have better food than my Datang?"

Fang Xiaoshang's words were full of confidence.

For the small country of Fusang, he naturally looks down on it, and he doesn't think that Fusang can have anything better than Datang.

Qin Shou sighed and said earnestly: "Whether it is Fusang or Turkic, even if there are very few, they still have something better than the Tang Dynasty. ”

"If all of my Datang people think like you, I'm afraid that one day they will be surpassed."

"And the price to be paid will be terrible."

At present, the Department of Medicine is also gradually on the right track due to the increase in manpower.

Today, there are more than 20 people in the Department of Medicine, all of whom are court officials personally appointed by Li Shimin, and they are extremely proficient in handling government affairs.

This also caused Qin Shou to suddenly relax, and he leaned back in his chair, squinting slightly.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please write about the arrangements of the Chang'an Medical Mansion here, especially how many doctors are needed in the Chang'an Medical Mansion, and what kind of symptoms are treated by you."

It's just that before he could relax for too long, an official came to the case with a large stack of Zongzong in his hand, and said respectfully: "I asked Mr. Sun just now, and Mr. Sun means that this matter still needs to be decided by you." ”

Qin Shou didn't hesitate, opened the sect casually, and asked, "When will you need it?" ”

"It's better before August 20th, so we can inform the doctors." The official said.

Qin Shou nodded, and then looked through the file.

These sects have all passed through the hands of Sun Simiao, and the candidates among them have also been selected, and some exceptionally excellent doctors have also been marked by Sun Simiao.

After finishing today's government affairs, Qin Shou returned to the palace from the Department of Medicine.

He held a piece of yellow potato in his hand and wandered aimlessly around the courtyard of the palace.

Shangguan Yi squatted on the threshold of the main hall, looked at Mr.'s movements, frowned and said, "Master, is Mr. stupid in reading?" What are you walking around with potatoes? ”

Saying that, Shangguan Yi looked at Nini again, and said seriously: "Nini, you can't die studying in the future, otherwise you will become like a master." ”

Nini also sat on the threshold in the same way as Shangguan Yi, holding her little face with meat in her palms, nodding vigorously, and said in a milky voice: "Yes, yes, you can't read so many books!" ”

"So Nini won't be studying tomorrow."

Fang Yaoyi was amused by these two living treasures, she bent her fingers and gently tapped Nini's little braincase, and said, "It's quite beautiful to think about!" ”

Nini pretended to be in pain, covered her little head, and hummed.

Qin Shou was also attracted by the movement here at this time, he turned around and walked closer, and chuckled, "What's wrong?" ”

Nini hurriedly opened her arms, threw herself into Qin Shou's arms, raised her little head and said, "Brother Shangguan said that Nini should stop studying!" ”

Shangguan Yi: "??? ”

Fellow Daoist, did you rebel so quickly?
