Compared to Yuse's treatment, Li Ke's treatment is not that good.

During the chat with Yuse, Li Xiao learned that although the emperor exempted King Ke of Wu from his death sentence, he did not spare him lightly. He was demoted to a commoner and did not get free immediately. Now, he is still in Chang'an City and lives in a Taoist temple, but he is actually under surveillance.

Yuse is asking for help, hoping to pick up King Ke of Wu from Beijing to live here.

"Now the princess hopes that the rest of her brother will be safe for the rest of her life. The best way is to persuade Brother Ling to become a monk like a princess. Be a born Taoist, devote himself to practicing Taoism, and do not care about the world, and maybe you can enjoy the rest of your life." Although Li Xiao had never contacted Li Ke, the world praised him very well, and Yuse also liked this brother so much, so he helped him come up with an idea.

"If you become a monk, you must not be nostalgic for worldly power and reputation, otherwise it will not be too late to repent."

Leaving Yuse's villa, when Li Xiao returned home, the small Lijiazhuang was still lively, and many men gathered inside and outside the Lijiazhuang.

These people are the parents, fathers and brothers of Zhuangdong Academy students, who spontaneously came to help Lijiazhuang work. The farming is about to start, and the planning and renovation of Lijiazhuang has not been completed yet, and the academy has only been basically completed. The public toilets, bathrooms, and charity warehouses in the village are still under construction.

Everyone thanked Li Xiao for taking their children to study, but there was nothing to thank, so they came to help with the work spontaneously.

Li Xiao didn't want to order everyone to take advantage, but everyone was unable to stop their enthusiasm, so he finally agreed to stay. He only had three meals a day and also gave everyone food and wages.

It's just the time when the green and yellow are not enough, and many families actually don't have any food. At this time, they start looking for wild vegetables in the wild and eating wild vegetables paste. Otherwise, they won't be able to wait for the summer grain to enter the warehouse. Li Xiao gave everyone food to make wages, although it wasn't much, but it was also very good.

Everyone refused a few times and finally accepted it happily.

"There are many people coming and the progress is fast. According to Sanlang's plan, it is almost the same. The dilapidated houses at the entrance of the village have been demolished, and the flattened ones have been flattened. The newly built village road is very neat, and the village walls have been erected, square."

As Da Biao, who supervised the Xinzhuang Project, has stopped going on the street these days and is seriously responsible for the supervisor given to him by Li Xiao.

With this fierce and tall supervisor, although he was a group of farmers working, Li Xiao’s drawings were still very good.

The original messy and dilapidated thatched huts and earthen houses were demolished, and the neat village roads were re-planned. The village roads were not only straight and flat, but also compacted. Drainage channels were built on the roadside and street trees were also planted, which could become green roads in the future.

At the east and west ends of the originally low-lying and uneven village, brand new village courtyards have been built, Lanxi Academy, public toilets, public bathrooms, charity warehouses for disaster protection, and pavilions for cooling and resting are also built.

These things are planned in a unified and neat way, because they use local materials and invite the villagers to work, which is not much.

Seeing Zhuangzi's changes day by day, not only Li Xiao was happy, but the Zhuang people were amazed.

The past farms were simple and old, even dirty and messy, but now they are almost as good as Lanxi Street.

The village not only built a new village wall surrounded by four sides, but also had four village gates for villagers to enter and exit. Although the tall village wall is relatively thin, its effect of preventing theft is still very obvious.

In this era, villages in various places with a little history will have village walls. The village gates will be closed at night, and villagers will take turns to patrol and guard the night to prevent robbers. Even in the turmoil era, these village walls can play a great role to resist refugees and turn into bandits.

A village wall is a symbol of the strength of a village. In villages with village walls, ordinary thieves will even bypass and are too lazy to get into such a tough problem.

Outside the village wall, there is also a repaired canal. This canal has existed in the past, but it has been disrepaired and the siltation has been deep. It was Li Xiao who organized people to clean him up and dig him deep and wide, connecting him to the Lanxi River water, causing a pool of clear water to bypass the village, and even dug ditches to introduce the water into the village.

A large pond was built in the village to facilitate the villagers to wash laundry and vegetables.

With this pool of lively water, the village has become more beautiful.

"Now, the real value of this money is spent." Da Biao smiled with a hint.

Doctor Zhao turned out to be quite opposed to Li Xiao's big moves, thinking that it was a prodigal act. Spending money to build this and that would give the villagers a free benefit, but now it seems that it is indeed very good.

"How can this little money be spent in vain?" Li Xiao said with relief.

The cost is not much, so the farmers come to work and get money and grain from the Li family home, which greatly alleviates their famine this winter and spring, and can eat summer grain with peace of mind this year.

Everyone has a good life and will never forget the goodness of the Li family.

As a landlord, the Li family cares more about the people's expectations, and this little money is really not much for the Li family. The Li family now has a steady stream of money with just one medicinal wine business. Moreover, the village has been repaired and not only is it clean and tidy, but also a large area of ​​vacant land is also vacant around the Li family courtyard. In the future, the Li family's courtyard can be easily expanded.

The foundation of a landlord is to have a good reputation in his hometown.

Like the way Zhang Eubu’s family used to do, it would not last long.

Landlords must become the people’s desire for the family to last for a long time, rather than being a bully that everyone is afraid of.

In the past, even Dr. Zhao didn't understand why Li Xiao always had to do things that seemed to be losing money. He felt that he had invested too much, but now they also think it makes sense.

The Li family's life is getting more and more prosperous, and their business is getting bigger and bigger. Naturally, the vision cannot be limited to a small area of ​​Lijiazhuang, as it is too shallow and the pattern is too small.

The Li family will go out sooner or later.

"By the way, Aye. I just went to see the princess, and now we are all designated as the princess' fiefdom by the court. There are 800 households in Lanxi as princess' fiefdoms, including our Zhuangzi. I just proposed to the princess that we will manage her fiefdom on behalf of the princess and collect a fixed amount of rent and tax on the princess, and the princess gives us 20% of the rent tax every year as a reward."

After briefly speaking, Dr. Zhao nodded after hearing this, "It's not too easy to manage the princess's fief, but it's not that easy. These 20% of the rent is not that easy. You have to manage it well. Otherwise, if the output is insufficient, we will not only not get the 20% of the rent, but we are afraid we will have to pay some in."

After all, the princess’ fief and tax is a fixed amount. Even if it is reduced or exempted, it will only be reduced or exempted when encountering a major famine.

No one can guarantee the output.

The Tang Dynasty's food seal has real seals and virtual seals. The virtual seal is a short name, while the real seal is a real food household.

As the emperor's sister, Yuse specially granted eight hundred households, all of which were genuine. And it was not as good as ordinary relatives. All of her 800 households were genuine, and they did not need to be divided into three, and one of them belonged to the country. The emperor's special order was that the princess's 800 households, and all the households obtained were rented and transferred to the princess.

Generally, food seals are above three cents and below seven cents in each household, and Yuse's ban households are basically above three cents.

After the Tang Dynasty was established for so long, not many heroes and famous officials received real titles, and even fewer could get more than 500 households. For example, the founding prime minister Pei Ji was Li Yuan's old friend, and he had to be truly granted 1,500 households, and the prime minister Xiao Yu had only 600 households.

Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the four ministers of Zhenguan, were only one thousand three hundred households per person.

Other famous generals such as Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin were only 700 households, Li Yaoshi, Duan Zhixuan and others were only 400, and Li Zihe and Ma Sanbao were only 300.

More heroes even have only false seals.

According to the system, the emperor and sisters are the eldest princesses, and they all regard the first rank. The Tang system has one rank, one rank, fiefs and tens of thousands of households, but that is all false, and true seals are real.

The eight hundred households in Tamase are all very special among the royal princesses.

If Tamase hadn't been in a special situation now, there would definitely be many people willing to manage the fiefs for the princess. After all, under the banner of a princess, there are still many fiefs. Not to mention that the princess would give the management rewards.

Even taking advantage of the opportunity, there is a lot of room for operation, such as lending to the closures, renting cattle and horses, renting agricultural tools, etc.

The enfeoffed household handed over the rented and medicated transfers that should have been handed over to the court to the princess. Because the princess had a special order, the rented and medicated transfers were handed over to the princess.

The Tang Dynasty rented me to mix the man's business, and each priest was paid 2 shi of millet each year; the priest was produced by the local area, and the priest was paid 2 zhang silk (or silk, priest) every year, and 3 liang of cotton. Where no silk cotton was produced, the priest was 2 zhang and 5 liang of cotton was added. The priest was served for 20 days a year. If it was not sold, it would be charged 3 liang a day.

This renting and mediocre remarks are based on the equal land system. In theory, all people will be granted equal land and will be granted at a rate of 100 acres per 100 acres.

In this way, if a minus acre of land is about the same, and the tax is not high. But in fact, the land is not much, especially in a narrow land like Guanzhong, where there are few lands, and there are many people. The land you earn may be only twenty or thirty acres, or even less.

In this way, the land was not distributed, but the rented mediocre service was still the same, and the burden on the people inevitably became heavier. Moreover, as sealed households, they not only had to pay the rented mediocre service, but also had to bear the freight paid by themselves, which was another burden.

The princess has 800 households, with an average of more than three cents per household, which means at least three thousand cents.

Just renting millet alone is only 6,000 stones a year, and there are also a large amount of silk and cloth. The income of this fief is extremely high.

Li Xiao helped manage the fief, but in fact he had to pay so much to the princess every year. The princess gave 20% of it to Li Xiao as a reward, which was actually very high.

However, because Lanxi Mountains are many and there are few lands, the people basically fail to obtain the land truthfully, so the rent and tax burden is heavy, so it is difficult to complete the rent and tax.
