The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 295 Dongshan County

"Your father is not a son of the Xuan family. If Qing'er is really promising in the future, it's okay for us to return the Zongsi to them." Wang Shi said.

Xuan Shijing nodded slowly. For the ancestor of the Xuan family, since he knew that his biological father was not a son of the Xuan family, and he was an "outsider", he naturally took it easy. There is no need to hold other people's ancestors He was trembling, and he was still being criticized. If he was the patriarch of the Hou Mansion, then he would start from Xuan Mingde's generation. The name of the late Duke of Jin is not small.

Although Qian Lai and Qian Dui are servants of the Marquis Mansion, they are not slaves who sold themselves into the Marquis Mansion. As early as when Xuan Mingde was alive, Qian Lai and Qian Dui resumed their status as sons of a good family.Therefore, it is only reasonable for the Qian family to rebuild their ancestors.

"It's just that the things that Xuan Lindao and his wife have done to us in the past, I still have a lump in my mother's heart." Wang sighed.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Evil people always have evil retribution. It's not that they don't repay, it's just that the time has not come." Xuan Shijing said.

This is true. The biggest reliance of Xuan Lindao and his wife is Jing Wang Li Yuanjing. Xuan Shijing's actions and plans are all aimed at Li Yuanjing. When Li Yuanjing falls in the future, it will be Xuan Lindao and his wife The day when people's retribution comes.

This is really looking up to see who the sky has spared.

After dinner, Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui went back to the study. Not long after, Xiaoji took Feng Hao back to the mansion and went straight to Xuan Shijing's study.

"Villain Feng Hao, I have met Lord Hou." Feng Hao held a thick booklet in his hand, and bowed to Xuan Shijing who was sitting behind the desk.

"They're all from my own family, so don't be too polite, come and sit down." Xuan Shijing said.

This is the first time Xuan Shijing saw Feng Hao. The last time Feng Hao and Wang went to Zhuangzi to relax, Feng Hao happened to be away, so I never saw him. When I saw him today, this Feng Hao was also very handsome and handsome. Tsing Yi looks like a scholar.

Feng Hao walked to Qiandui, lifted his clothes, sat down on his knees, and handed the book in his hand to Xuan Shijing with both hands: "Master Hou, here are some detailed information on the households in our Zhuangzi, villain I tidied it up in the morning, please take a look at it."

Xuan Shijing took the book Feng Hao handed over and opened it.

After a general look, there are about 200 households in Xuan Shijing's fief Zhuangzi, and nearly 100 households have no land and only rely on raising poultry and fishing for a living.

"Why do these more than 100 households have no land?" Xuan Shijing asked puzzled.

"Master Hou, do you remember the disasters in the Tang prefectures more than ten years ago? These people all moved to Chang'an City after the disaster that year. Now more than ten years have passed, and the government has not divided the land for them. , it stands to reason that this is a matter of your fiefdom, and you still need to go to the government to give instructions on this matter, if it is someone else, I am afraid that it will not be able to be the master." Feng Hao said.

So that's the case, Xuan Shijing nodded with a sudden realization. Originally, there were only seventy or eighty households in the fief, and the land in the fief was also limited. Now that so many people came from outside, the land is naturally stretched, and the government has nothing to do. In the past, the disaster victims who came to Chang'an stayed in Chang'an for a while and then left. There was no land conflict at all, but the treatment of the Houfu Zhuangzi was good, and those people saw the hope of living, so they stayed in Chang'an Xuan Shijing Settled down on Zhuangzi.

Naturally, the Wang family would not evict people. These people were all villagers in Fenghuang County, Shanxi back then. Fenghuang County is at the foot of Erxianzhuang Mountain, and they were all old friends.

"This is really a problem, that's all, let's discuss this matter next year. Presumably, these more than 100 families are not hungry." Xuan Shijing looked at Feng Hao.

"That's not true. Apart from some of these more than 100 households raising poultry or fishing for a living, some people have set up stalls in Chang'an City and started business. They have done well, and now they have It's my own shop." Feng Hao said.

"It does have some skills. Since they are all from their own village and old friends, if they can take care of them, let's take care of them a little bit." Xuan Shijing said to Qiandui.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Qian Dui replied, the caravans under the Shengtang Group extend in all directions, it is not difficult to help transport some goods, but you can collect a certain amount of money to cooperate with them, naturally, this is also Something else.

"Qiandui, come and take a look at this brochure, and give me a detailed look at it." Xuan Shijing handed the brochure to Qiandui.

Qian Dui picked up the brochure and flipped through it carefully.

"Master Hou, there are now a total of 710 households in our village, with a total of 390 people, 310 males, and [-] women and children. If we buy New Year's goods according to this standard, I don't know how Hou Ye wants to buy New Year's goods. How rich." Qiandui said.

"It's not easy for the Zhuanghu to open the door all year round. When I was not in Chang'an, I was building rivers and digging reservoirs. The workshops in the Zhuangzi were also made by our own people in the Zhuangzi. When the Chinese New Year came, our family was not short of money now. Let's make it richer." Xuan Shijing said.

"If that's the case, Lord Hou, I have some suggestions." Feng Hao said.

"Let's hear it." Xuan Shijing raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Hao.

"In the past, the Hou's mansion bought new year's goods for Zhuangzi. It was nothing more than two catties of pork meat, plus a few feet of linen. If Hou Ye wants to buy more generously this year, he can increase this standard as appropriate."

More than 700 households, which is not a small number.

"The usual standard of money per person is no more than [-] yuan, so let's buy it according to this standard. The money is piled up, and this matter will be left to you. Each person will add a red envelope of [-] Wen, and the purchase will be completed before tomorrow afternoon. Then follow me to Zhuangzi for a walk." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Qian Dui replied.

"Feng Hao, don't be busy with other things tomorrow, go back and make arrangements. This is just the distribution of New Year's goods, more than 700 people, and it is not a small job." Xuan Shijing looked at Feng Hao again.

"Okay, my lord."

Dongshan County was originally just an inconspicuous small village on the plain at the foot of the mountain to the east of Chang'an City. When His Majesty Li Er bestowed land on many dignitaries before, he did not pay attention to this area at all. Without it, although the land on the plain at the foot of the mountain It is relatively fertile, but it is far away from the river, and it is inconvenient to irrigate the farmland. Naturally, this place has become a place that no one cares about.

But since this place became Xuan Shijing's fiefdom, a reservoir for water storage has been built, and a river for irrigating the farmland has been dug. These two projects alone took nearly three years and cost the Hou Mansion nearly [-] yuan. If it wasn't for Qiandui and Feng Hao's painstaking efforts to manage all the money, the Hou Mansion would have collapsed before it even started.
