The first month of the fifth year of Yonghui.

Princess Hepu reported to the emperor and requested to become a monk.

The emperor did not allow it.

Soon after, the princess reported another memorial and still asked Xunjie to become a monk and become a woman crown.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was the most respected among the three religions. At that time, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, once called himself a descendant of the Supreme Lord Li Dan and a descendant of gods. Although Lao Tzu was not the founder of Taoism, he was respected as a representative figure. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism naturally became the first religion believed in by the Li Tang Dynasty.

Duke Tatsuse became a monk and naturally chose Taoism first.

Emperor Li Zhi disagreed with his sister's becoming a monk several times, but the princess made several memorials and spoke firmly. In the end, Li Zhi had to issue an order to agree to the Taose Sumiya.

There was no grand ceremony. Yuse became a monk at Lanxi's own villa, and the Taoist name was the Three Scenery Master of Xuandu Dadong in Shangqing. The emperor sent representatives of the Grand Historian Li Chunfeng to attend and preside over the ceremony.

In order to make up for this emperor's sister, the emperor also issued a special order. Although the princess became a monk, she was still named Princess, changed the title of Princess Lantian, and handed over the original fief to the princess, and added three hundred households to the total of eight hundred households before the merger.

The emperor also specially divided the mountain area of ​​Wangshun Mountain near where the princess lived to the princess, and sent people to create Taoist temples for the princess, and specially named Lingdu Temple as a place for princess to become monks and practice.

Although the princess immediately reported that she had become a monk and should not retain her title or fief and property, the emperor did not allow her.

······

Lanxi, the back mountain of Lijiazhuang.

Li Xiao accompanied Yuse for a walk.

"So, this mountain will be considered the territory of the Princess Lingdu Temple in the future?"

"I'll call me a real person from now on, and I'll be out of the world."

Li Xiao looked at Yuse. After a while, Yuse lost a lot of weight. She lost a little less flying and felt a little sad.

"The princess was joking. Born in this world, who can truly break out of the world? We are all ordinary people. Even if the princess wants to escape now, it is impossible. However, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and a Taoist temple is built, and here is quiet and meditation is cultivated to cultivate one's nature, and avoid disturbances from ordinary people."

Yuse became a monk, but the title of the princess has not changed and his fief has increased. The emperor not only assigned a large area of ​​Wang Shunshan behind Lanxi to the princess to be a place of spiritual capital for spiritual capital, but also specially changed the fief of the princess to Lanxi.

Eight hundred fiefs and fiefs included Li Xiao's family.

Although Li Xiao is also a serious landlord, he is now considered a princess's enfeoffment.

Fortunately, the fief system of the Tang Dynasty was very different from the previous dynasties. Although the nobles of the marquis had fiefs and fiefs, they were not actually considered real fiefs.

The princess's fief is Lanxi, but it cannot manage this fief. The eight hundred households on the fief are assigned to the princess, which is only the rent and tax that should be paid to the court every year and transferred to the princess.

Even the annual tax was just a person sent by the Princess's Mansion to Lantian, and the officials sent by the county government came to collect taxes together. Moreover, one-third of the tax was levied to the court last time.

Moreover, the rent and taxes collected are actually completely in accordance with the system and rules of the court and cannot be changed.

Therefore, Tamase is now just the largest landlord in Lanxi, with 800 households as his tenants. But apart from collecting rent, there are no other privileges.

This may be a major reform of the Tang Dynasty's fief system. He made the marquises actually lose their direct ownership and management rights over the fief. The so-called fief is just a little real money gain.

Even the titles of many nobles have nothing to do with their fiefs. The titles of Lantian may be in Jiangnan. Even the so-called number of households is simply simplified to how much money a household has been discounted.

For example, during the Han and Wei dynasties, the marquis directly had fiefs and households, and the fiefs were gone again just like the country in the country.

The relationship between the closure owner and the closure king is much simpler and there is no dependence at all.

Li Xiao and Yuse are actually just a relationship between a big landlord and a small landlord.

Li Xiao’s hand in his hand was a thousand acres of land, which was originally paid to the court according to the system every year, but now he has been paid to the Princess’s Mansion. That’s all. If anything happens, it is still under the jurisdiction of the Lantian County government.

For eight hundred households, the imperial court chose the princess for those who had a large household, more than a few cents per household, or more land. For example, Li Xiao, although his family was only one cent, his land was 1,000 acres, and his subordinates were thirty or forty.

In summary, the emperor granted the princess a fief of 800 households, at least one thousand dingkou and tens of thousands of acres of land.

The emperor was very interested in this sister. Even though only two-thirds of the tens of thousands of acres of land were rented for the princess, it was quite a lot.

"I will submit a report to the princess' title and fief, asking His Majesty to take it back. Even this Lingdu Temple is actually not necessary to build a large-scale construction. Now, my little village is enough to support me in my practice."

"Don't, since Your Majesty has given it to the princess, then accept it. The princess, even if she wants to practice, she still needs to be paid. You don't want to be a simple meal in the future and live in the ancient Qinglan Sutra."

"Since I have become a monk and practice, why bother with that? Besides, in my mansion, all the others have already left, except for a few old people. Even if I have these fiefs, I can't take care of them. I don't know how to take care of them. I might as well ask His Majesty to take them back."

Li Xiao sighed.

"The princess thinks he can't control it, so he can leave it to me. It's just a few hundred households and tens of millions of acres of land."

Tamase glanced at Li Xiao, "Managing these is a very difficult task, and there is no benefit."

“What’s there to do.”

"Sanlang, don't underestimate these things. Since you have to manage it, you have to manage it well. If the management is not properly managed, everyone will have a responsibility."

These days, we have planted a lot and harvested a lot.

The harvest of a mu is only one or two stones, and it depends on the weather. If you encounter drought, flood, wind, plague, locusts, etc., it will have a bad harvest or even no grains.

The lack of farming technology, the lack of production tools, the lack of large livestock, and the lack of water conservancy tools made farming a living by relying on the weather. In this era, a family may not be able to be rich by planting hundreds of acres of land, but unlike later in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a family could support their families by planting ten or even a few acres of land.

As the ban, he not only sat down to collect rent, but also had to be responsible for guiding the banned households to farm, and even directed disaster relief in the event of disasters. If the harvest was a bad harvest and food were cut off, he had to find a way to help the people and prevent fleeing refugees from happening.

He managed 800 households and tens of thousands of acres of land for the princess, which was equivalent to becoming a village head.

However, this village chief is not easy to be a township chief, but Li Xiao felt it would not be difficult.

"If you really want to help, then I am willing to hand over 20% of the rent and tax on the fief of the fief to you as your reward for me."

The princess directly dumped the bag, and Li Xiao took care of the princess. Every year, just hand over 80% of the fixed rent and tax to the princess, which is equivalent to chartering.

If you do it well, the 20% return is not low.

"If you encounter a disaster, reduce the rent according to the situation and you will not suffer any losses." The princess said.

Li Xiao thought about it and asked the princess to rent a fixed quota with him. If he made a share of the tenants and tried to increase the land output of the enclosed households, then in fact, it would be profitable if the princess' fixed quota was removed. Not only could he earn 20% of the charter management fee, but he could also earn more share of the income.
