Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 270 Money Money Money

This is a problem!
On the way here, Xue Lang was thinking about this issue——

A thousand plays does not mean that the county government only increased the burden of 1000 people, roughly speaking, it should be an increase of a thousand families.

For private parts, naturally one can only take care of one's own.These people voted under Xue Lang's name and had no foundation in Chang'an City. When there was no harvest in the first year, Xue Lang could only rely on Xue Lang to take charge.

The situation will be better when there is a harvest in the second year.At that time, Xue Lang can distribute part of Tanaka's output to the trilogy according to the proportion, and part of it can be collected for his own use at home. This is the beginning of a virtuous circle. Lang all inventory.

Most of the stress is in the first year.In the final analysis, it was because Xue Lang's foundation was too weak, and the sudden addition of a thousand households would cause his pressure to increase greatly.

Xue Lang looked at the account books just now. In order to settle these people, most of the money and silk in the mansion have been spent, and there is not much left.This is Su Siniang's calculation, money and silk are used together, if only money is used, I'm afraid she will be in a hurry.However, these are necessary expenses to maintain a trilogy.

The field is the earliest to produce, at least until the summer harvest.Before the summer harvest, Xue Lang needs to be responsible for the food and clothing of these people.There are also seeds for spring plowing in the coming year, farm tools and cattle for plowing the field.After such a calculation, Xue Lang instantly felt very poor.

Su Siniang said: "Brother just came back, he hasn't settled down and rested yet, he shouldn't bother him with these things, but, as the head of the family, brother should be careful."

Xue Lang nodded: "Thank you, brother and sister. Let me think about this matter."

"Brother, it's good to know what's in your heart."

After telling Xue Lang about the situation and the problem, Jiang Lin and his wife left together and went back to their own room, leaving Xue Lang alone to count the money with his fingers——

Currently, Xue Lang's most stable income is Shiyi.It is more than enough to support everything in the mansion, but it is not enough to support the trilogy.

As for Xue Lang's huge extra income, at least he will have to wait until summer.In the summer, the ice business should be able to be done, and there should be a certain amount of income at that time, and the rest, after counting, there will be no income.

Xue Lang felt his ass hurt!
"Lotus fragrance!"

"The servant is here."

He Xiang hurried in, Xue Lang ordered: "Show me the ledger."

"Here."

He Xiang immediately brought the ledger, and Xue Lang looked through it——

There are quite a lot of fixed assets, but they are all non-realizable.Money is not everything, but money is absolutely impossible.After several months, the problem of making money was once again on Xue Lang's desk.

His eyes flicked back and forth on the asset book, and when he saw the Lishan Hot Spring Villa, Xue Lang suddenly realized that he hadn't been there once since the saint rewarded him!There are still some days before the New Year's Eve, and when they settle down, they can take Jiang Lin and his wife and Su Han to the hot spring villa to enjoy it.

There is no rush to make money, and the government can still support it. What is lacking is a long-term and stable income.This Xue Lang needs to think about it.

Before Xue Lang could figure out why, the next day, as soon as he woke up, the doorman ran in panting, "Report...Report to Dalang, the palace... There are rewards from the palace."

"Reward?! What reward?"

Xue Lang asked reflexively.The concierge said respectfully: "I don't know, but the sage and the noble concubines in the palace all gave rewards to Da Lang."

Noble concubine... Noble concubine... Tang Gaozu Li Yuan seems to have only one noble concubine, surnamed Wan, who was an old man who followed him when he was Tang Gong in Taiyuan Mansion, and the short-lived Li Zhiyun's mother Wan Guifei Wan.According to the old and new records of the Tang Dynasty, this concubine Wan Gui was submissive, and she was favored by Li Yuan, and she consulted and decided every matter in the palace.

Xue Lang can still figure out the reward from the saint, but the reward from the concubine Wan Gui... Xue Lang doesn't understand!However, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, but you have to receive the reward, otherwise he is disrespectful.

He hurriedly changed his clothes, tidied up his clothes, and went out to receive the reward——

The one who came was the eunuch next to Li Yuan, whom Xue Lang had seen before when he entered the palace.The other party smiled and said to Xue Lang: "Mr. Xue, the miscellaneous family came here under the holy order, please accept the reward! After receiving the reward, please trouble Mr. Xue to accompany the miscellaneous family into the palace."

"Minister Xue Lang listens to the order."

Xue Lang followed the rules.

The visitor immediately took out an edict and began to read——

However, apart from Xue Lang understood what was rewarded, he still didn't understand the rest, he couldn't show his confused face, and had to respectfully thank him.

The things given by the sage were very real, needless to say the money and silk, the sage was very generous this time, he directly rewarded Xue Lang with two thousand bolts of silk, as well as some other valuable silk products.In addition, there are rewards for daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, especially food. Xue Lang was directly rewarded with three hundred shi of food, plus the food purchased by the government, so it is no problem for his family members to last until the summer harvest!

Concubine Wan Gui's reward was naturally not as good as that of a saint, she only rewarded money and cloth, as well as some high-quality fur and medicinal materials.

"Mr. Xue, please accept the reward!"

"Chen Xue Lang accepts the reward, thanks to the saint and noble concubine."

After receiving the reward, Xue Lang tidied up his clothes and followed the eunuch into the palace——

"Chen Xue Lang sees the sage, and wishes the sage good luck and peace."

"Xue Qing's family is exempt from courtesy, flat body, and a seat."

Only then did Xue Lang get up, kneel down on the futon brought by the maid at the side, and after he sat down, he raised his head and quickly glanced at the situation in the hall——

The sage Li Yuan naturally sat at the head, and beside him, sat an obviously elderly woman with luxurious clothes.Below the woman are the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang.

"We haven't seen each other for a few months. Xue Qing's house has been cleared up. My Pingyang has been in Weizeguan for several years, and it has also been cleared up a lot like Qing's house. It seems that the frontier is really hard."

The saint's tone was quite a bit sighing.

Xue Lang said: "Thank you Saint for your concern."

The sage said: "Xue Qing's family first came to my Tang Dynasty, and everything was started from the beginning. If there is anything missing or any difficulty, you can tell it clearly. If you can't tell me, you can also go to King Qin."

Xue Lang couldn't help showing a dazed face again, completely confused where the saint said this.On the contrary, Princess Pingyang, who knew Xue Lang quite well, saw through his doubts at a glance, and interjected: "I want to tell you, I'm afraid Youyang didn't understand the oracle that Aye just sent people to proclaim. I understand what Aye means!"

Xue Lang bowed his hands to Princess Pingyang in embarrassment, and said with a shy smile, "Thank you Your Highness, I am ashamed of myself."

Only then did the sage think of Xue Lang's poor proficiency in classical Chinese, and couldn't help laughing.Concubine Wan Gui's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she looked at Princess Pingyang and then at Xue Lang, thoughtfully.

The sage didn't realize it, and said to Xue Lang in a kind tone: "It's hard for Xue Qing's family. The imperial concubine and I sent someone to give you a small reward. What we did was to thank the Qing family for giving me medicine for treating my daughter Pingyang's injury."

It turned out to be this!
Before Xue Lang could answer, the sage said: "My wife Yuan and I are only a daughter in Pingyang, and our love is like a treasure. This time she was injured by the Turkic people, and her life is hanging by a thread. Thanks to the medicine from the Qing family to save her life. Help! Your kindness, mere small rewards are not enough to express my gratitude to the Qing family. What else do you want? Feel free to say so.”

Xue Lang hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be a saint. If you want to talk about it, it should be that the princess has saved my life. If there is no princess to save me, I am afraid that I have become a lonely ghost. How can I live so comfortably?" Life! Although my background is humble, I still know how to repay my kindness. Therefore, I ask the sage not to say that again, I can’t afford it!"
