Datang Nongwang

Chapter 429
How big is Zhaojiazhuang.

That's more than three times bigger than Li Zhuang.

With such a large site, no matter what Li Chongyuan said, he had to plan well.

This is not.

After getting Li Yuan's affirmation, Li Chongyuan ran back to his room, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write and draw.

'The production of wheat is too little, so we need to plan carefully how to increase the production of wheat, as well as the beans.It seems that it is obviously a bit stretched to rely on manpower alone for large-scale planting. '

In the room, Li Chongyuan was writing and drawing while talking about the future of Zhaojiazhuang.

truthfully.

Even if Li Chongyuan wanted to grow wheat in Zhaojiazhuang, the yield was indeed pitifully low.

According to the size of the field in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

The yield per mu is about 150 catties.

This is still a rich land, so it has such an output.

If it is placed in Zhaojiazhuang, it can have a yield of 130 catties, which is called a bumper harvest.

As for beans.

Its output is only about one hundred catties, no matter how high it is, it is impossible.

Planting in one season of the year, in the present, if the population increases, they can only dig wild vegetables and drink water.

How to increase the yield of wheat beans.

This requires Li Chongyuan, the owner, to think of a way to increase production.

after all.

Zhaojiazhuang needs to pay [-]% of the tax.

'Forget it this year, let's count [-]% first, I can pay taxes if I collect [-]% of the rent, and leave [-]% to the tenants, this is also a beginning.Next year, the rent will be reduced to [-]% next year, the same as Li Zhuang, so that it can calm the anxiety of the tenants of Zhaojiazhuang. '

Li Chongyuan had an idea.

Such a conclusion came to mind.

After half an hour.

Li Chongyuan just came out of the big house, went to the newly reclaimed wasteland, and found Qiao Su, "Old Qiao, let me tell you something."

"Young Lord, please order." Seeing Li Chongyuan approaching in high spirits, Qiao Su wondered if something good happened to his young gentleman again.

Just now.

When Wang Li and the others arrived, Qiao Su had been busy in the wasteland and didn't know the situation at all.

If he knew that Wang Li, the chief executive, had been here, he might be able to guess something.

Li Chongyuan pointed in the direction of Zhaojiazhuang, "Old Qiao, the scriptures have been transmitted from the holy scriptures. From now on, the area of ​​Zhaojiazhuang will belong to me."

"What!!! Little gentleman, what you said is true? All blessings." After hearing Li Chongyuan's words, Qiao Su was shocked at first, and then hurriedly bowed in the direction of Chang'an.

Li Chongyuan smiled lightly: "I can still tell lies, but I am the only one. If you change to another employer, with your expression just now, it would be strange not to beat you up."

"Hey, little man, I... I'm overjoyed, please forgive me." Qiao Su was embarrassed when he heard that.

He also knew.

Li Chongyuan, a young gentleman, never talks about losing face with others.

It's the same with him, they are all straightforward, there are few people who are polite, and they are completely two extremes with normal honors.

In this era where etiquette is the most important thing.

As for nobles like Li Chongyuan, it can be said that they are unique, and Li Chongyuan is the only one.

Seeing Qiao Su's joy, Li Chongyuan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be too happy too early. Although the Holy Majesty has put Zhaojiazhuang on my head, the grain tax is to be paid. Pay it, [-]%."

"So many?" Qiao Su's joy dissipated when he heard that the number was [-]%.

Also truthfully.

The current taxation of the Tang State is normally one for thirty taxes.

However, because the Tang Dynasty had just been established, there was a shortage of food.

Coupled with the non-stop foreign wars, the food tax will vary from person to person and from place to place.

Naturally, the DPRK and China will target certain places, or some people, to raise food taxes to ensure the country's supply.Some are 25 tax one, some are [-] tax one, and some are [-] tax one.

after all.

The catastrophic famine a few years ago was clearly visible.

The catastrophic famine a few years ago was unprecedented. Even the imperial court had no food to relieve the common people. Finally, as a last resort, they came up with a way to find their own way out.

And at this time Tang Guo.

The foreign wars continued, and the famine never stopped.

From natural disasters to man-made disasters.

In short.

Although the food tax was formulated in accordance with the laws of the previous dynasty, the court was also extremely poor.

and so.

Zhaojiazhuang belongs to Li Chongyuan's letter, and Li Shimin directly set a tax rate of [-]% for this Zhaojiazhuang, which is [-]% tax.

It is also because the country is indeed short of food.

Second, it is also to block other people's mouths.

As for whether there are three coming.

But Li Chongyuan didn't know.

Seeing Qiao Su's shocked and distressed look, Li Chongyuan reached out and patted him on the shoulder again, "You, don't be dissatisfied. Your Majesty also saw that I, Li Zhuang, had suffered a lot. The hand letter, entrusted Zhaojiazhuang to me to take care of it. The Zhaojiazhuang was stolen, do you think the imperial court will pay us for the death of so many ducks and geese in my Lizhuang?"

"That's right, it's a great bargain." Qiao Su clasped his palms together as if he had relieved his troubles.

Li Chongyuan looked in the direction of Zhaojiazhuang, exhaled softly and said: "Now Zhaojiazhuang belongs to me, Lizhuang, and it will definitely not be called Zhaojiazhuang in the future. So, old Qiao, you take some people to Zhaojiazhuang to report the news tonight. Tell me, and in addition, dig up the stone tablet outside Zhaojiazhuang and replace it with my Lizhuang name."

"Xiao Langjun, our name here is Li Zhuang, and the name of Zhaojiazhuang is also called Li Zhuang. This will make people confused which one belongs to Li Zhuang. Or should we call it Xiao Li Zhuang?" Qiao Su suggested.

original.

He still had a more suitable name in mind - Li Erzhuang, but he didn't dare to mention it.

The name Li Er.

It is estimated that he is not a small manager who dares to say it.

Even if it is Li Chongyuan, it is not easy to mention this name.

It's not just him, Li Chongyuan.

Even everyone in Chang'an city dare not mention the name of Li Er.

When Li Chongyuan heard Qiao Su's name, he turned his head and glared at him, "What name did you choose, Xiao Li Zhuang, is my surname Li small? As for the name, you still have to think about it. Call it Yuan Zhuang , taking my name is not a violation of the original intention."

Li Chongyuan's face is really invincible.

In order to avoid the name of Li Er, he directly gave this Zhaojiazhuang a name of his own.

After hearing this, Qiao Su clapped his hands again and again.

"Okay, Mr. Xiaolang's name is nice, and Zhaojiazhuang will be called Yuanzhuang from now on." Qiao Su's flattery made Li Chongyuan shake his head again and again.

Subsequently.

Li Chongyuan and Qiao Su discussed some details again.

And the details.

Naturally, it is about the future of Yuanzhuang.

When Qiao Su heard that Li Chongyuan planned to start reducing the rent for the tenants in Yuanzhuang next year, Qiao Su immediately disagreed, "My lord, don't do such a thing about reducing the rent. I have already done this in Lizhuang. It’s a precedent, and if it drops again, other nearby Zhuangzi will definitely cause trouble.”

"Let's make a fuss, I can't make a fuss anyway. Look at the villages nearby, these landlords and old riches, relying on the land as theirs, they are squeezing the poor tenants hard. What's wrong with [-]% [-]% is already rich, and if it keeps going up, it’s even [-]% and the tenants are still not allowed to live.” Li Chongyuan wished he could take all the villages nearby to do it himself.

Josu was speechless.

What Li Chongyuan said is also true.

Zhao Youcai had set [-]% of the former renter of Zhaojiazhuang.

If it weren't for Li Zhuang's work, these tenants might have killed Zhao Youcai long ago.

What is the name of treason.

At the stage where he was about to starve to death, how could he take these things into consideration.

The peasants and common people of China.

Not asking for much.

All they want is a place to live, land to grow, and food to eat.

Even if the family is poorer or poorer.

Those who can shelter from the wind and rain will be satisfied.

But those landlords and riches are squeezing them hard, regardless of the life and death of the peasants and common people.

There are even some unscrupulous landlords and rich people who wish to squeeze out a few taels of oil from these peasants and people to cook.

The matter has been decided by Li Chongyuan.

and.

Li Zhuang has opened the door since the old lady opened the mouth to lower the rent.

even.

The old lady is planning to lower the rent again recently.

Based on this, Li Chongyuan is about to lower the rent.

evening.

Qiao Su took a group of guards to the original Zhaojiazhuang, which is now Yuanzhuang.

But at this moment in the small courtyard, Wan'er, who had had dinner, was lying on her fourth brother's back, "Fourth brother, leave that house in Zhaojiazhuang to me, I want that house."

"Go, go, don't you think it's unlucky to live in that house? I heard that someone died there. If you want to live there, then go, I won't stop you." Li Chongyuan was also speechless to this girl.

It's nothing more than a house, but she's in love with it.

When Wan'er heard that someone had died in the Zhao family's house, she immediately jumped off her fourth brother's back, waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I'm not afraid, fourth brother, as you said, that house will belong to me from now on." gone."

"Whatever you want, anyway, I won't ask for it." Li Chongyuan also heard what happened in Zhao's house.

But what Li Chongyuan said from the mouths of those tenants, he would rather believe it than believe it.

As far as Li Chongyuan is concerned.

Such a house, even if Li Chongyuan had no place to live, he would not choose such a house.

How bad luck.

and.

Li Chongyuan also heard about it.

In that Zhao residence, more than one person died.

With such a house, Li Chongyuan wished he could just blow it up.

Wan'er, who got the words, was very happy, and then ran to her own room in the big house.

And this time.

On the square of Yuanzhuang, all the tenants were notified by Qiao Su to gather here.

The crowd was crowded, hundreds of people gathered together, some were talking, some were arguing, and some were crying.

"Everyone, everyone, be quiet, be quiet." Qiao Su raised his hand to signal all the tenants to be quiet, so as to listen to the words he had already written in his heart.

As soon as Qiao Su spoke, the discussion stopped abruptly.

After Qiao Su saw this, he looked up and inspected, and then began to shout loudly: "According to the instructions of my little man, I came to Zhaojiazhuang this time to bring you good news."

"Steward Joe, what good news?"

"Needless to say, Uncle Li must have some good work for us to do."

"That's right, County Uncle Li is such a kind person, and it must be a good thing to tell Guanshi Qiao to come to our Zhaojiazhuang at night."

"..."

Qiao Su put on a smile on his face when he heard the sound, "Everyone, my little man said that Zhaojiazhuang will belong to Li Zhuang in the future. That is to say, you will no longer be tenants of Zhaojiazhuang, but my little man's tenants gone."

"Wow~~"

Halfway through Qiao Su's words, the tenants were already in an uproar.

"Li Xianbo will be our boss in the future, that's great, that's great."

"Uncle Li County, I will pay homage to the old man."

"Xiao Langjun, accept my head."

"Xiao Langjun, from now on I will only rely on you as a drill."

Okay.

The news came out of Qiao Su's mouth.

The tenants of Zhaojiazhuang were either worshiping or kneeling.

He even said to accept their heads, and even the horse's head came out.

Standing beside Qiao Su, Xiang Jiu shook his head lightly, and whispered to Qiao Su, "Steward Qiao, these tenants are really uneducated. If Mr. Xiao Lang is here, they might be yelling at him."

"There's no way to do it. They haven't read the book, so what kind of good things can they say. But their hearts are good, and this alone is enough." Qiao Su replied softly.

It's been a long time.

This is also worshiped, kneeling and kneeling.

But this scene is still very chaotic.

There were continuous cries, accompanied by the howling of the little baby, which seemed to be unstoppable.

finally.

Qiao Su had no choice but to yell loudly again, "Everyone, be quiet. We are here today to inform you of the news, and secondly, Zhaojiazhuang will no longer be called Zhaojiazhuang, but Yuanzhuang. Don't forget it in the future. Tomorrow, the stone tablet at the entrance of the village will be dug out and filled with the stone tablet at Yuanzhuang."

"Also, my little lord has spoken. This year, renters will only receive [-]% of the rent. Starting next year, the renters of Yuanzhuang will be the same as Lizhuang, and will receive [-]%."

"Wow~~"

Okay.

Qiao Su's words are not surprising.

Good news broke out again and again.

The good news comes out.

All the tenants began to bow three times in the direction of Li Zhuang with their heads bowed.

Even some babies who were still in their infancy were held down by their mothers on the ground and bowed in the direction of Li Zhuang.

now.

No words can describe the thoughts in their hearts.

There is nothing that can break their longing for the future.

The future is expected.

This is the biggest thought in their hearts at this time.

The future can be expected, the future can be expected.

Zhaojiazhuang was renamed Yuanzhuang, and the rent was lowered.

There is still work to be done.

There is food at home and money in pocket.

On such a day, for those who were squeezed by the Zhao family and who were almost left with only bones left, the head of life was now.

He didn't even have to be bullied by the guards of the Zhao family anymore.

There is no need to be bullied by He Guang, the steward of the Zhao family.

Simultaneously.

There is no need to be beaten and scolded by the Zhao family woman anymore.

So much sadness.

Too many memories.

Too much bitterness.

currently.

On the square, there were bursts of crying and howling.

Some complained, some scolded.

There are also those who thank God, and even kneel down and keep praying.
