Chinese dining table

Chapter 162

To operate Chang'an is to operate the military lair.

Don't look at these old guys, the princes and the princes, each of them has sealed up thousands of households or hundreds of households. However, they only have the power to collect taxes, not the actual management power.

Even the power to collect taxes is actually not in their hands. It is given to them after the local officials receive the money.

The most unreliable thing in the world is money passing through other people's hands, just like Yunchu's Yongye Field, Koufen Field, and Guantian Field are all in his mother's Taibai Mountain. How much they can receive in a year depends on what the local officials want. Eat meat or want to drink soup.

When he wants to eat meat, Yunchu's Yongye, Koufen, and Guantian will lose all their income, and sometimes they have to pay them back.

When he wants to drink soup, Yunchu can get some food, linen, and some local specialties. For example, last year when the world was ripe, Yunchu got three loads of shriveled wheat, and six horses of linen are not good rags. , of course, there are two dried rabbits and three pheasants.

When he got these things, Yun Chu almost cried, it was because he took advantage of Datang.

The situation in the fiefs of the nobles is no better than that of Yunchu. The nobles are forbidden to exploit the people. This is what Emperor Taizong said in advance before rewarding the land and population to the meritorious officials.

Unless he can be powerful enough, like Changsun Wuji, not only has the title of Duke of Zhao, but also has a part-time job as the governor of Zhaozhou. Only in this way can he distribute the output of the fief for himself and become very rich.

Apart from him, even the prince, after enfeoffing the land and becoming a vassal, has to accept the restraint of the prime minister, Chang Shi and others appointed by the court, not to mention the local officials, who will treat him like a thief be on guard.

Not to mention the rest of the nobles, they are obliged to rescue the people in the fief in case of disaster, as for other things, they can really be ignored.

The fields near Chang'an are different. They all obtained the land because of their military exploits or other meritorious deeds.

These fields are basically managed by their wives themselves, and all the harvest belongs to themselves except for paying taxes.So, what's here is the real thing.

In the Tang Dynasty, land was the source of wealth, no matter how high or low the land was, as long as she could buy a good land, she would be a woman who knew how to live.

Yunchu thought this point of view was wrong, but when he said it, he was refuted by Yu Xiurong and Cui. They stubbornly believed that the land was the most important thing. , will be the last property that needs to be stripped.

As for the Jinchangfang Canteen, which is making money every day, it is wealth that should be exchanged for or given up before the family is broken.

Alcohol making, quilt making, and down jacket making are planned by these two women as inseparable wealth. If the Yun family is unlucky, they will have to rely on the hundreds of acres of land to make a comeback with these two secret recipes.

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, this is what is said in the Art of War book, but in the eyes of Yu Xiurong and Cui, the field is eternal.

This is not only the opinion of Cui Shi and Yu Xiurong, but also the opinion of Quan Chang'an.

Yunchu didn't understand this very much. The output of one mu of land in Guanzhong of Tang Dynasty is less than 240 catties in good years. Just like this, it is still the output of paddy fields. Even if one mu of land produces [-] catties, according to Chang'an At this time, the price of grain was eight cents a bucket, and three hundred catties was calculated as thirty buckets, which was only [-] yuan a year, and the income from planting a stubble of millet or buckwheat after the wheat harvest was counted. Earn up to four hundred dollars a year.

What's more terrible is that the price of paddy fields near Chang'an is 30 yuan per mu, which is [-] yuan.It takes nearly [-] years without eating or drinking to get back the money for buying the land. This is basically the life course of more than half of the people in Tang Dynasty.

Not eating or drinking for a lifetime, just to get an acre of land?

"That's not how accounts are calculated!" After receiving the dowry from the Yun family, Yu Xiurong, who had long been open about Yun Chu, had already put herself in the position of the mistress of the Yun family, and took it for granted.

Yun Chu really wanted to raise his hand to slap the stubborn Yu Xiurong, but found that the little girl had a firm face, even though she was beaten, she still insisted that the Yun family should take the route of annexing the land.

At the moment of stalemate, Yunchu suddenly remembered that the house he bought a long time ago... The loan was 20 years, and the monthly repayment was about [-], while his monthly salary was only [-] to [-]... He bought it with Tang Ren How similar is the condition of the land.

Just like this, a group of wise men in the government said one after another that he bought well and would definitely make money.

It's very strange, the land near Chang'an is the same as the school district house he bought before, and it can be sold by listing.

If Yunchu wanted to list his family's land in Qujiangli for sale at eleven pennies per mu, within a day, a luxurious buyer would come to his door and give him cash!

And if he gets the cash, he will definitely be ridiculed by the entire Chang'an people as a prodigal son, a scum who ruined his family business.

Since I used to be able to do such irrational things in a world with advanced technology and transparent information.It is very wrong to expect Yu Xiurong and Cui Shi, these two natives of the Tang Dynasty, to surpass the times.

Houses and land are actually the same. The Chinese love these two things to death, and have loved them for thousands of years.

Money can't buy a good heart, Yun Chu resigned to his fate.

The family had too much money, so much that the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci'en Temple was unwilling to accept it.

It would be a good idea to use part of the Yun family's money to buy land and push up the price of land near Chang'an.At least, not so many people are willing to sell land.

After all, in a world with few investment channels, the higher the price of land, the fewer people will be able to sell it.

It is also a good thing to deposit all the money on the land.

"Did you want to slap me just now?" Yu Xiurong stared at Yun Chu with a pair of big bright eyes, and it was obvious that she was still angry. "

"Nonsense, the ancestors of the Yun family haven't had the habit of beating their wives since the eighth generation."

"Yes, then beat my sister to death?" Naha interrupted while peeling roasted chestnuts.

"If you dare to run to Pingkangfang again, next time you don't use bamboo sticks to kick your legs, but use sticks instead."

"I'm going to see the dancers bought by Sister Gongsun to see if their legs are longer than mine. Why do you hit me?"

Seeing that Naha was really angry, Yu Xiurong quickly hugged Naha and comforted him: "Pingkangfang is indeed not a good place. If you want to see Sister Gongsun in the future, I will invite her to my house. We will watch the dancer girl she bought at home." That’s enough, I don’t dare to go to Pingkangfang to show my face again.”

"Why can't you go? It's so lively there."

"Hmm—" Yun Chu growled in a low voice, then walked out of the room with his fists clenched. Naha was already grown up, and he really couldn't hit her anymore.

At this time, it's time for Yu Xiurong to show that her elder sister-in-law is like a mother. During the process of a girl's growth, there are many things that Yunchu, who is an older brother, can't say.

Cui quickly followed her out and said to Yun Chu: "Miss Naha is very smart, you don't need to be so annoyed. When she grows up, she will understand."

Yun Chu looked angrily at Cui Shi and said, "You said that three years ago, and you still say that now, when will she grow up?"

Cui covered her mouth and said with a smile: "If Miss Naha really grows up, Mr. Lang may be even more reluctant."

When it comes to Naha's marriage, Yunchu feels very uncomfortable. The choice of wife and sister must be carefully selected. The family has money, status, and a good-looking talent. After being beaten by Naha, she will die. Only those who like Naha alive and well will succeed!
Otherwise, a brother-in-law who is not like this is likely to die early.

Seeing a group of chubby women wearing green white spots and corset skirts roll past his eyes, he said to Cui Shi: "I said two years ago that as long as they find someone they like, they can leave home to live , why, no one has left in two years?
After two years, they should have accumulated a lot of money, right? "

Cui squeezed her double chin and said, "Idiots are only going out."

While speaking, he cast an old wink at Yunchu and said, "The gentlemen over there are not as reliable as our gentlemen, so why go out?"

Yun Chu shivered and said: "You have become unscrupulous now, if you want to harm others, find someone else, don't disgust me."

Cui said with a smile: "In the past three years, this concubine feels that she is really alive. Even if she suffered those crimes before, now she feels that she deserves it. If she doesn't suffer from those crimes, how can I live a free life now?" Good day."

Yunchu sighed, and asked Fei Jiu to bring the bay red horse, and was going to go to Guangfufang to exchange copper pancakes for two meat buns. Today, Naha, Yu Xiurong, and Cui Shi were very angry.

Fei Jiu's pockmarked face, which looked like it had some lines, now turned into a flatbread sprinkled with sesame seeds.

"You didn't plan on getting married or something?"

Fei Jiu shook his head firmly and said, "I don't want to!"

"Aren't you going to have a son and a half daughter to carry on the family?"

Fei Jiu continued to shake his head resolutely and said: "I have had children before, I am worthy of my ancestors, but now I will not have children.

Besides, our house is full of fat women, which one do you think is the one who can give birth to a son? "

"I think they are much younger than those 30-year-old women outside, so having a baby is not a problem, is it?"

"It's delicious and delicious in our family. They were hard-raised. If they weren't at home, God knows how old they are. They are all at the age of grandmothers. Don't harm me, sir. If you really want a woman When I was young, I went to Pingkangfang to solve all the difficulties. Not only is she young and good-looking, but she also doesn’t dislike my big face.”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "It's all my fault, the money I gave you is really too much."

"Even if you don't send it out, if you get a little reward from Miss Naha from time to time, you will have all kinds of money."

Yun Chu was laughed out of anger, but this way of communicating is not bad, at least it can reduce the guilt he felt when he was a big landlord and a big bully oppressing the people.

　Why do I hate the land so much?

　　The real experience of my family, before liberation, my grandfather drove six mules and brought a group of people to and from Hanzhong to work as a groom, and sometimes he might also work part-time as a robber. The money accumulated over ten years of hard work was used by my grandmother to buy land. It is said that there was a big The gold and silver in the box are soft, and the year my grandma bought the land was 49... Later, my father was admitted to Weinan Normal University with the No. Sold it away and paid my dad's tuition. A college student in the 2s... just because my family was his mother's landlord, or a big landlord. After graduation, in order not to suffer, I went to Xinjiang... Then Gansu, I didn't ask for a wife until I was almost 50 years old, and then, it was supposed to be the third generation of super rich The larvae can only make a living by selling literature.
