Datang Nongwang

Chapter 196
A little thing that wasn't really a big deal.

In the end, it almost turned into a big event.

When Empress Changsun's Fengjia came out of the palace and saw Li Shimin, who was so drunk and stunned, his heart dropped to the back of his throat and fell to the ground.

Empress Changsun did not dare to delay.

After talking to the old lady, he asked Mr. Wang to pick up Li Shimin.

As for what is poisoned and not poisoned.

The moment is no longer important.

Furthermore.

The old lady has guaranteed the ticket, so how dare Manager Wang have any objections.

This is the end.

This matter can be regarded as coming to an end.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan.

After a bowl of burning knives went down, he still didn't wake up in the middle of the night.

After the old lady looked at it several times, she was still worried.

The old lady knows.

Li Chongyuan used to have plaque all over his body whenever he drank alcohol.

And now Li Chongyuan, apart from being drunk, doesn't seem to have plaques on his body, but the old lady is still a little more worried.

Until dawn.

Li Chongyuan gradually woke up.

But here.

It was like being hammered several times with a hammer, and I had a severe headache.

That's basically what hangovers are all about.

Li Chongyuan in his previous life had already tasted this kind of suffering.

And this time.

On the trail leading from Huxian County to Lizhuang and the nearby Zhuangzi, an official was riding a horse, followed by some subordinate officials and servants.

This line.

They are the dates to go to each village to inform the tax payment.

and.

This year, we will also evaluate the situation of each family member.

In the Tang Dynasty, every three years, the personnel situation of each household is assessed, and the household post will indicate how many people are in the household, how old they are, and what they look like.

of course.

If the family has a field, it must be recorded again.

In addition to the fields, some livestock such as cattle and horses will also be recorded.

At the same time, it is also necessary to carry out a rating for each family's grain, silk and hemp and other tax items.

As for the rating, it is also up to those officials and subordinates to decide what level it is, and what level it is.

When the pedestrians came to the fork in the road, a subordinate official ran in front of the official and pointed to two villages in the distance and introduced: "Master Tang, the trail on the left leads to Zhaozhuang, and this trail leads to Zhaozhuang." The Tao leads to Li Zhuang."

The official looked at Zhao Zhuang who was a little far away, pointed to Li Zhuang on the other side and said, "Go to Li Zhuang first, by the way, who knows the situation of Li Zhuang?"

This official is Tang Ping, the newly transferred director of Hu County.

Tang Ping is of medium height, and he is less than thirty years old. His skin is fair and not dark, and his face is full of red.

One look at this person, one can tell that Tang Ping must have been born in a wealthy family, and there are few people who have done any physical work.

"Return to the master book, I know about Li Zhuang." Suddenly, a subordinate official ran up to Tang Ping and said that he knew it.

"Then tell me." Tang Ping was really not clear about the situation in Hu County because he was newly transferred.

In addition, his superior county magistrate recently suppressed them, which made him and the two county lieutenants too busy to deal with it, and had no time to learn about the villages.

After the subordinate official heard the words, he said cautiously: "Li Zhuang belongs to a certain county man surnamed Li, and, as far as I know, that Li County man seems to have been living in Li Zhuang for the past six months. Since that Li County man After arriving in Lizhuang, he bought a lot of wasteland."

"Oh? Bought wasteland? How much? Did you go to the county government to record it? Did you pay for it?" Tang Ping heard that Li Zhuang's owner bought a lot of wasteland, and his first reaction was not Mr. Li. Due to his noble status, he became interested in buying wasteland.

Come on.

The reason why Tang Ping didn't care.

It was because his father was a nobleman.

and.

His father's title was still a magistrate of the county, a rank higher than that of a magistrate.

That's why Tang Ping didn't pay attention to a county baron.

not to mention.

For example, if his father passed away, he would also be able to inherit his father's title. At least, he would also be a noble person in the future, and he could be on an equal footing with the county baron.

only.

Tang Ping's father was an official in other prefectures far away, and through some connections, his father transferred Tang Ping from other places back to Hu County, which is very close to Chang'an, to take up the post of Chief Registrar.

There is a saying that, with the backing in Beijing, everything is easy to do.

Not to mention that his father was a magistrate.

After the subordinate official heard the words, he carefully replied: "Return to the master book, the Li County man in Lizhuang paid the money a few months ago, and the book was also made, and he bought a total of more than 1000 mu. , As for how much, I don't know, because all of this is supervised by the county magistrate."

After Tang Ping heard the words, he suddenly felt that he was transferred a bit late.

If more than 1000 mu of uncultivated land is managed in his hands, he can get some money no matter what.

Shortly after.

This group of officials entered Lizhuang.

But at this time, Li Zhuang was empty, except for the crowing of chickens, there was not even a baby, which made Tang Ping wonder inwardly.

Not long after the group of them entered Lizhuang, they came to the small square.

Only then did one person appear in Tang Ping's eyes.

Tang Ping saw a person appearing with a cane, and shouted loudly to that person: "Hey, you, just you, come here."

The person in Li Zhuang who can lean on crutches is naturally Qiao Su.

Seeing a group of officials appearing in Li Zhuang, Qiao Su naturally knew what these people were here for.

Then he went up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Is the official here to collect taxes and make records?"

Tang Ping glanced at Qiao Su, then looked elsewhere in Li Zhuang and asked, "Why is there no one in your Li Zhuang? Is it because you are afraid of making a book? Or did you hide on purpose?"

Seeing the hostility in Mr. Tang’s words, Qiao Su’s heart tightened, “The officials misunderstood, the villagers in my Lizhuang are not like this, but the villagers in my Lizhuang are now digging ponds, so None of them are in the village. And my little man said that if the county government sends people to collect taxes, we have to wait until my little man comes back."

Li Zhao, magistrate of Hu County, is Li Chongyuan's cousin.

And Li Zhao has been suppressing the officials of the county government recently.

As for this matter, he, Qiao Su, had also heard Li Chongyuan mention it.

And the master in front of him came to Li Zhuang, the implication in these words was always hostile, which had to make Qiao Su vigilant.

"What? We come to collect taxes and investigate the situation of the personnel. Do we need the approval of your little man? I came here to collect taxes under the order of the court. As for what you said about your little man, Even if he has the county male title, he still has to act according to the imperial court's decree, and if he misses my business, I'll take you as a question." Tang Ping burst into anger after hearing Qiao Su's words.

Just a little county man, he said that he would wait for his young man to come back, which made Tang Ping, who is usually proud and proud, immediately angry.
