Datang Nongwang

Chapter 524

Yuanzhuang's crop output has doubled.

As for Li Zhuang, although compared with last year, it has only increased by [-]% and a half.

But if compared with the past, the output will be higher.

Adding up the grain of the two Zhuangzis, that's close to [-] shi.

The two Zhuangzi only collect 4000% of the rent. If the rent is removed, Li Chongyuan can get more than [-] shi of grain.

If the 800% of Yuanzhuang that had to be handed over to the court was removed, Li Chongyuan could get more than [-] shi of grain.

Naturally, the warehouse in Lizhuang couldn't hold such a huge amount of grain.

Fortunately, there is a warehouse in Yuanzhuang. Although it is small, it can hold all the grains.

Li Yuan is happy.

Qiao Su and the others were even more delighted.

But at this time in Lizhuang, after the harvesting of the crops, the villagers were happy every morning and evening, and even got together from time to time to talk about the grain output this year.

What's more, they said that they need to help their relatives and so on.

Indeed.

In this day and age nothing compares to modern times.

The friendship between relatives is really better than modern times, it can be said that it is the root of the same life.

In this era, pay attention to the three clans or the five clothes.

Within the five clothes, all are relatives.

a few days later.

After the grain dried up, Qiao Su went back to his home in Chang'an, and after asking the old lady for instructions, he took the servants seconded from his home and the accountant and began to weigh the grain in Li Zhuang.

After a busy three days.

Li Zhuang's food finally has a specific value.

"Master, happy event, what a happy event." After the grain was weighed and the rent was collected, Qiao Su went straight to the small courtyard with the counting booklet.

And before he entered the small courtyard, he shouted for joy.

Li Yuan, who had been waiting for the news in the small courtyard for a long time, had a look of joy on his face when he heard Qiao Su's voice.

When Qiao Su ran into the small courtyard on crutches, Li Yuan asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Returning to the Lord's house, joy, great joy. After three days of grain weighing, my Li village has produced a total of 910 taels of grain, which is much higher than my original estimate." Qiao Su hurriedly came to Li Yuan and put The account book completed by the accounting office was handed over to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan received the account book, and after hearing what Qiao Su said, he was even more delighted, "Okay, okay. The output is higher than the original estimate. It's really a happy event."

Two thousand 910 and two stones of grain.

This is more than 100 stones more than the original estimate of [-] stones.

This was completely beyond the expectations of Qiao Su and Li Yuan.

A large yield is a great joy for any common people and farmers, even for Li Yuan. Perhaps the reason is that Li Yuan has seen the kind of scene in the year of the catastrophe, which forced him to He became more and more attached to the peasants.

Li Zhuang's grain has passed the scale, and the rent has been collected.

A few days later, Yuanzhuang began to collect rent by scale.

Yuanzhuang's grain output did not deviate from Qiao Su's original estimate.

The 540 mu of crops, after weighing, is in line with the estimated yield, [-] taels.

With such a number, for the excited people of Yuanzhuang, this year is definitely a good year, and they can also eat dry food.

However, after the grain in Yuanzhuang was weighed and the tenants were collected and stored in the warehouse, Qiaosu left Lizhuang directly and went to Chang'an.

After the old lady heard about the grain output of Li Yuan'er Village, she was very happy, "That's great. It would be great if Xuan'er and Xu'er's village could produce so much grain. It seems that Yuan'er The method of planting with fertility blessing is very good, and it can be spread on Xuan'er and Xu'er's farms."

"Old lady, Mr. Xiao Lang mentioned it to Erlang and Sanlang before, but Erlang and Sanlang didn't care about it, so Mr. Xiao Lang was not too determined. He said that after another year of experimentation, after the second year's production Come and mention this matter to the old lady again." When Qiao Su heard what the old lady said, he immediately remembered what Li Chongyuan said to his two brothers last year.

The old lady smiled, "Next year, I will vigorously promote Yuan'er's planting method. No matter what, I have to let Yuan'er's elder brothers get some credit, or else the salaries of the two brothers, and their The output on the fief will be poor everywhere in a few years."

The old lady has her own thoughts.

As for the son, I also have the thoughts of the sons.

After all, they are all separated, and it is impossible for the old lady to pay attention to many things at any time.

And what the old lady can pay attention to is only her eldest son, Li Chongji, who is relatively more, and Wan'er.

And even though Li Chongyuan has also been separated, he always hangs around his home from time to time, and used to often fight and make trouble when he had nothing to do.

Naturally, it became a big thing on the heart of the old lady at that time.

"Yes, old lady, after Mr. Xiaolang returns from Xixiang, Mr. Xiaolang will ask you for instructions in person." Qiao Su replied after getting the old lady's instructions.

afterwards.

The old lady asked Qiao Su about the situation in Hujiazhuang.

As for the situation in Hujiazhuang, Qiao Su has paid little attention to it recently.

Most of his energy was devoted to Li Yuan's Second Village, and he only knew a rough idea of ​​the situation in Hu's Village.

For Hujiazhuang.

Although those fields were temporarily placed under Li Chongyuan's name by the empress, Li Chongyuan was still in charge of managing them, or taking care of them.

Hujiazhuang is no different from Li Yuan's Erzhuang, it belongs to Li Chongyuan.

The fields in Hujiazhuang belonged to Li Chongyuan in name, but that was only in name.

If the grain is harvested in the field, it has to pay taxes, which is not comparable to Li Yuan Erzhuang.

Although there are not many grain taxes, there are many other taxes.

Compared with the poll tax, the so-called small tax, there is also the land tax, and there are other miscellaneous taxes.

In short.

Zero and zero add up to a lot of taxes.

As for the renter of Hujiazhuang, Li Chongyuan never let go of saying [-]%, as usual, he paid [-]%.

The situation of Hujiazhuang this year is the same as that of Yuanzhuang. With the blessing of horse fertilizer, the grain production will definitely not be too bad.

Qiao Su, who got the words, bowed to the old lady and said: "Old lady, then I will go to Hujiazhuang to see the situation after I go back, and I will bring Zhang Ping to report the truth to the old lady."

"Go ahead, Hujiazhuang is Yuaner's Zhuangzi in name, but we can't treat them differently. What's more, those tenants are down-and-out people. Bringing them to Hujiazhuang is to give them a way to survive. But I just came here this year, so there must be a lot of rations owed. After you go to Hujiazhuang, tell them that they only charge [-]% of the rent just like Lizhuang Yuanzhuang." The old lady nodded lightly and said.

After hearing the words, Qiao Su looked at the old lady.

Qiao Su knew that the old lady was kind-hearted and could not see the hardships of the tenants on her farm.

He also knew that as long as he became a member of the Li family, the old lady would not treat anyone badly, even for those refugee tenants who came to Hu County to beg for work in Hujiazhuang, the old lady would treat them equally well.

Qiao Su, who left the family, had an unspeakable joy on his face.

She thought to herself, "The old lady is kind-hearted and likes to treat everything fairly."Those tenants of Hujiazhuang, you have come to the right place.The old lady is kind, and the little man is also kind. This is your blessing. I hope you will not forget the kindness of the old lady and the little man in the future. '

After Qiaosu left his home, he went to the Yingbin Building again, talked with his brother-in-law for a long time, and then returned to Lizhuang.

Once back in Li Zhuang, Qiao Su asked Li Yuan for instructions, and hurried to Hu's Village.

As soon as Qiao Su arrived at Hujiazhuang, Zhang Ping, the manager, greeted him happily, "Manager Qiao, you are finally here. We thought Manager Qiao had forgotten about us here."

"How can I forget you. It's the busy season of farming, and there are too many things to do, otherwise, I would have come to check on the situation. How is it? The crops in the field have all been harvested?" Qiaosu responded .

When Zhang Ping heard Qiao Su's question, his face became even more excited, "Qiao Guanshi, if you don't come today, I have to go to Lizhuang tomorrow to report to you the food situation of our Hujiazhuang. Qiao Guanshi , this way please, I happened to take Steward Qiao to see the food situation."

Although Zhang Ping's answer was not direct, Qiao Su could hear a situation from his words.

The crops in the field have basically been harvested according to the time.

Qiao Su who came along the way, as long as he has eyes, he can know that the crops in the field have long since disappeared.

Following Zhang Ping's guidance, Qiao Su checked the grain of each tenant's house and listened to Zhang Ping's report, and he already had an approximate value in his heart.

good harvest.

Another bumper harvest.

Although there are not many fields in Hujiazhuang, it is much more than Lizhuang.

This year, Hujiazhuang has followed Li Chongyuan's method of planting crops, and the grain production has risen in a straight line, which is not far behind that of Yuanzhuang.

And when Qiao Su let out the old lady's words, all the tenants in Hujiazhuang burst into cheers, knelt down one after another, and shouted for the old lady's mercy in the direction of Chang'an.

Josu also knows.

These tenants were not from Hu County, but came from other places. Because Hujiazhuang needed people, they were given a way to survive.

Such a move by the old lady hit their hearts.

In such a bumper harvest year, they naturally know that Hujiazhuang is their future and the future in which they can live a good life.

Just when Qiao Su was in Hujiazhuang.

After rushing back from Xixiang, Li Chongyuan and his party finally arrived outside the city of Chang'an after a month.

A row of horses and several carriages rented in Shangluo were parked not far from Chunming Gate.

"Ah, Chang'an City, I, Li Chongzhen, have finally come back, hahahaha, I must get drunk and sleep with him for three days and three nights." Li Chongzhen, as soon as he saw Chang'an City, jumped out of the carriage and went directly to him. The earth made a kissing movement.

Li Chongyuan got out of the carriage, and after seeing Li Chongzhen's behavior, he frowned deeply, "It's not shameful! You are still a county lord, you are not ashamed, but I am ashamed. You see what others think of you , others thought you were a country gentry from some country."

"I am willing, I like it." Li Chongzhen got up, threw the back of Li Chongyuan's head, and strode directly towards Chunming Gate.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, and stopped talking. After looking at Chang'an City, he also walked directly to Chunming Gate.

As soon as Li Chongzhen arrived at the gate of Chunmen, he squinted at the soldiers guarding the city gate with wide open eyes in amazement, "What are you looking at, look again, believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs."

Of course the soldiers guarding the city gate knew Li Chongzhen.

As soon as Li Chongzhen's words fell to the ground, a school captain in armor came out of the doorway and slapped Li Chongzhen on the head with his hand.

'Clap' sound.

It's as if Li Chongzhen was slapped so wrongly that he couldn't guard against it.

Li Chongzhen felt the pain, raised his head, and when he was about to wave his hands to fight back, he opened his eyes to look at the opponent, and immediately froze.

"Good boy, I just yelled at my subordinates, go back later and see how I deal with you!"

Li Chongzhen hurriedly apologized, "Third cousin, I just came back from Xixiang, I'm just happy, you don't care about villains."

If Li Chongzhen can call the other party third cousin, then he is naturally his family.

And this person is none other than Li Chongxu, Li Chongyuan's third brother.

Li Chongxu is the gatekeeper of the city, and Li Chongxu is on duty at Chunming Gate, one of the three east gates of Chang'an City.

Li Chongyuan, who was walking not far away, saw his third brother, hurriedly approached him, bowed and said, "Third brother, we are back."

"It's good when you're back, it's good when you're back. Hurry up and go home, mother keeps nagging you, always saying that you're having a bad time outside. Look, your face is darker and thinner." Li Chongxu He stepped forward to help his fourth brother, patted Li Chongyuan's shoulder again, and said happily.

As for Li Chongzhen at the side, Li Chongxu simply ignored him.

After Li Chongyuan heard Li Chongxu's words, he felt very guilty.

I left Chang'an to go to Xixiang, and let my aunt be in my arms every day. This is his son's fault, "Is mother okay? It's been nearly three months since I went back and forth, and I haven't been here for a long time." I am guilty of honoring my filial piety."

"Mother is fine, but I miss you all the time. Just now someone from home said, let me pay close attention to the horses and horses entering the city. Mother said that you should come back soon, so I will wait for you. I didn't expect that either. You are back today." Li Chongxu said while leading Li Chongyuan to the city.

After Li Chongyuan listened, he felt even more guilty.

Walking along the way, although it took a long time and was tiring, but fortunately nothing happened.

Along the way, Li Chongyuan saw that the crops in the fields near Danshui were being harvested, so he kept thinking about Li Zhuang's situation. Immediately, Li Chongyuan called his third brother and asked, "Third brother, have all the crops been harvested? Do you know?" How's it going?"

"Haha, I knew that you would definitely ask about Zhuangjia when you came back. Some time ago, every time I went back to my home to visit my mother, my mother would always talk about how good the crops were. This year, it doesn't matter if it's Lizhuang or Yuanzhuang. , It was a bumper harvest. So very good, very good. I never thought that during the past two years when you were in Lizhuang, fourth brother, the crops grew like a blowing goat every year. " Li Chongxu burst out laughing when he heard Li Chongyuan's question, as if he had expected Li Chongyuan to ask this question a long time ago.

As soon as Li Chongyuan heard his third brother's words, the worry on his face immediately fell to the ground.

Along the way, Li Chongyuan was always worried about the harvesting of Lizhuang and Yuanzhuang's crops, fearing that something would happen to the crops during the nearly three months since he left Lizhuang.

Fortunately, everything was safe, and it was a bumper harvest, which made Li Chongyuan feel relieved after hearing the words of a bumper harvest, and his face was filled with joy.
