Datang first village

"You're learning Cao Cao!"

"No! I don't have that kind of charm, so I play restriction. Hou Junji's military expenses are stuck in Li Daozong's hands, while supplies and commodity transportation are stuck in Chai Shao's hands. Then, Mohe and Khitan surrendered It's my Palace of Prince Qin of the Tang Dynasty, not his Hou Junji!" Li Yuanxing's tone was very firm.

Li Yuanxing's heart at this time was not only resolute, but also full of confidence.

"Then, let's add one more!" Wu Zhao said next to him, "There is also Qin Qiong's Datang Empire Security Department."

"Good idea!" Li Yuanxing thought, this is really a good idea.

There will be countless spies there, so it is reasonable to send a leader of the spies.Candidates can be consulted with Li Chang, or directly asked Qin Qiong to recommend.

Wu Zhao climbed up the chair with some difficulty, and then said to Li Yuanxing, "I came to you to talk about that retainer!"

"I've heard the word retainer. During the Warring States period of Washima, retainer was very popular."

Li Yuanxing's answer did not get Wu Zhao's approval. Wu Zhao said: "Most of the things in Wa Island are learned from Datang. Don't mention them, just talk about the current retainers of Datang!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your explanation!" Li Yuanxing knew that he was far behind Wu Zhao in terms of historical knowledge.

"Retainers were originally in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the vassals and ministers in the family of the princes. In the Spring and Autumn Period, some people's fiefs would be very large, and several counties were even larger. During the Warring States Period, it was the peak period of retainers, and In the Han Dynasty, there were fewer and fewer retainers!"

Li Yuanxing listened carefully to Wu Zhao's explanation.

"Strictly speaking, compared with retainers, retainers have guaranteed mobility and loyal surnames. But their status is only higher than that of domestic slaves and lower than that of family members. In other words, if the old wolf does not give you a retainer, then in the future In front of Qin Wangfei, his status is that of a general of the guards, no matter how low he is, he is still an official of the imperial court."

Li Yuanxing was a little moved when he heard this: "Could it be that after becoming a retainer, anyone can give Lao Lang a wink at will?"

Wu Zhao snorted coldly: "At least, your princess and your children are fine!"

Li Yuanxing didn't speak, but Wu Zhao added: "The status of a retainer is lower than that of a guest, equal to a diner, and higher than a servant. I don't believe that you will let the old wolf become such a retainer."

Li Yuanxing shook his head lightly.Yes, that's right!What Wu Zhao said was absolutely correct.

"The old wolf is on the battlefield. Because of such a small wound on my face, I have to go all out to wash away the shame in my heart. He is 30 years old and has not married a wife. He has been in the military camp all his life. If a man like this is just more I, Li Yuanxing, have a higher status as a servant, and I, Li Yuanxing, will be too ashamed to face him!"

"But you agreed!" Wu Zhao asked back.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "What about the retainers? Just treat them as my brothers, Li Yuanxing."

"You have only one brother, the Emperor of Tang!" Wu Zhao reminded.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while and then asked: "Tang people are simple, the more ordinary people are, the more simple they are. Give them an identity!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he touched Wu Zhao's head: "Go and do your business, my lord." When it is required to occupy Yaozhou, the steelmaking part can be officially put into operation within a month."

"Okay!" Wu Zhao jumped off the chair, turned to look at Li Yuanxing again: "Two brothers from the Wu family, you really let me handle it!"

"Don't kill!" Li Yuanxing reminded.

Wu Zhao gave a strange smile, and ran out quickly, holding the corner of her skirt with her hands.

Li Yuanxing tapped his forehead lightly a few times, and then wrote two letters.Recently, I haven't had time to practice calligraphy well, and Li Yuanxing's calligraphy has regressed again.

Two letters, one to Qin Qiong and one to Li Jing.It is to explain the matter of the retainer and express his own thoughts.Hope to hear their opinions.To Qin Qiong, because the old wolf followed Qin Qiong through life and death for many years.To Li Jing, because Li Jing is the soul of the military, and also from a noble family.

Li Yuanxing thinks the opinions of these two people are very important.

After writing the letter, Li Yuanxing took the letter out of the living room: "Second baby, send someone to Chang'an. Then accompany me around."

"Your Highness, why don't you go and see the excitement of the farm festival today!" Bai Erwa suggested.

"Great sacrifice, another great sacrifice!" Li Yuanxing exclaimed, thinking that the Great Tang Emperor held a big sacrifice yesterday, what kind of big sacrifice are you having today.

Bai Erwa was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, this farmer's grand ceremony is different from the royal family's grand ceremony. Our farmer's grand ceremony is this!" After finishing speaking, Bai Erwa pointed to his stomach, his face turned red with embarrassment, and Li Yuanxing laughed loudly. Smile: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

There are not many fields in the first village of Qinwang Farm, and this village is the core area of ​​Qinwang Farm.Here, there are not only Lizheng and Shilao of King Qin's farm, but also the various managers of the farm.Now there are more than 1 households, of course there are some managers, and the Chang'an county magistrate even bought two small courtyards here.

In one small courtyard, my family lives, and in the other, a county government agricultural master is stationed here.

So around the first village of King Qin's Farm, except for the seed fields.It is the big warehouse, open courtyard, big scale, and the open space where hundreds of large cars can be parked.There is also a stable for [-] cows and [-] horses.

In addition, there are row houses under construction, even the county magistrate doesn't know what these are for.

Lizheng has something to say, His Royal Highness Qin Wang said that before the spring of next year, the usefulness of this place cannot be spread to the outside world.

It's not easy for the county magistrate to ask, and the master is not qualified to ask. Ordinary yamen servants dare not ask at all.

Before Li Yuanxing approached the first village of King Qin's Farm, he heard the noise here, and then saw a person being hoisted high on the pole of the giant scale.

"Your Highness, Your Highness is coming!" Someone who saw Li Yuanxing shouted loudly.

Li Yuanxing was surrounded, and everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed over.Li Yuanxing signaled the guards not to be nervous, and greeted them with a smile.

The personal guards were also watching. Almost all of Qin Wang's farms were the families of the guards and craftsmen.

If they encountered particularly unfamiliar faces, they would block them out, but those familiar faces were put in front of Li Yuanxing.

"What is that hanging?" Li Yuanxing pointed to the person who was hung upside down on the weighing pole and asked.

Li Zheng was pushed to the front, and when he heard Li Yuanxing's question, he immediately replied: "Your Highness, a fake Taoist priest, a little liar. He took some medicine powder and claimed to cure all diseases. He didn't even know that Sun Shenxian was in Qinwangzhuang, so he dared to say anything." My own is a fairy medicine!"

Hahaha!Li Yuanxing smiled heartily.

The little Taoist priest was released for a while, with a childish expression on his face, his age was no more than 15 years old.

A medical-savvy personal guard checked the little Taoist's medicines and came to Li Yuanxing's side: "Your Highness, you are a fake Taoist priest, but they are not harmful. They are just some ordinary tonics. A few packs of them are called fairy powder, which are aphrodisiacs." !"

It's just a young Taoist priest, Li Yuanxing really wouldn't embarrass him too much.

"Take it back to the village and lock it up first!" Li Yuanxing could only arrange it like this at this time.

However, Qin Wangzhuang only has one temporary cell right now, which is Guan Zhao Yande's, and Wu Zhao is there at this time, while Li Chang is being carried, ready to repair Zhao Yande and train him to know how to be a spy!

The little Taoist was taken away, and Li Yuanxing didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all.It's not a capital offense if it doesn't harm anyone.

"Today, it's very lively!" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Grain distribution today. The county will come to collect the grain tax!" Li Zheng answered from the side, his tone full of excitement.

Mountains of grain, mountains of coins, mountains of silk.And that pen full of sheep.

Fifty cauldrons are lined up in the open courtyard, and the smell of mutton can waft ten miles away. The dogs raised in the village are circling outside the open courtyard, looking forward to a few bones as a reward.

Hundreds of women are baking cakes, and the cakes are piled up as high as one person.

On the table in the middle, there is a sea bowl tied with a red cloth strip.Originally, this bowl was for County Magistrate Du, but when Li Yuanxing came, County Magistrate Du dared to ask for this bowl.

Li Zheng's old Li Tou and County Magistrate Du came to Li Yuanxing holding a bowl together.

He stretched out his hand and raised the bowl high: "There is dry food to eat, clothes to wear, charcoal for winter, few books to read, and something to support in old age. I, Li Yuanxing, can only promise so much to everyone. Now untie my belt , Open it up and eat!"

Li Yuanxing put down the bowl, tore the cake in his hand and put it back into the bowl: "Fire!"

Li Zheng was the first to kneel down, and even County Magistrate Du followed suit.They knew how difficult it was for Li Yuanxing to promise.In the entire Tang Dynasty, that is, the former dynasty, who would dare to make such a promise.How difficult it is just to cook food and have clothes to wear!

Tens of thousands of people knelt down in unison: "His Royal Highness Qin is kind, God bless the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuanxing's eyes were filled with tears. He came from modern times, and modern life, among other things, I heard that tens of thousands of grains were wasted in just one year. Tons, hundreds of thousands of tons.Putting it in Datang, just these wasted grains are enough for the output of several lands in Datang.That's not even a side dish.

Let's talk about clothes, who doesn't have a few sets of good clothes at home in modern times.

In the family of an ordinary farmer in the Tang Dynasty, if the daughter to be married can prepare a full set of new clothes, she is considered a wealthy household.In modern times, the girl opened the closet, and there were so many new clothes that she didn't care to wear for a year.

"Next year, work hard for a year, and every household will have meat!" Li Yuanxing shouted loudly.

The bowl tied with the red cloth is still reserved for County Magistrate Du. Li Yuanxing has already eaten it, and it is enough to tear open a piece of cake symbolically.There are not many white flour cakes here, but some are prepared for the elderly and children. The middle-aged people eat mixed noodles, and there are cakes mixed with bran and wild vegetables.

In this way, the open courtyard is also full of smiles.

Many old people held it, eating and wiping their tears.The only ones who really keep laughing are the children. Children under ten years old don't know the suffering of the war, especially those who are just sensible. They only know that life is beautiful now, but they don't know how hard it was back then.

While cooking, the food was distributed, and the food tax was paid at the same time.

The first cart of grain tax was pulled and poured into the bucket.The yamen servant raised his leg and kicked the bucket, and a lot of the grain in the bucket was scattered on the ground. The village chief who was in charge of paying taxes didn't respond to this action, which seemed normal.But the yamen servant's face changed drastically, and he knelt down to the village chief in a moment. (To be continued.)
