Chapter Little Fiancee

Before leaving the capital, the Crown Princess Changsun summoned Qin Lang into the palace.

In Lizheng Palace, after paying homage to the Crown Princess, Princess Changle actually hid behind the Crown Princess and refused to step forward.

"This kid, you were shouting every day to see Brother Sanlang, but now that Saburo is here, you are still hiding." Changsun couldn't help but smile when he looked at his daughter's shy look.

"Brother Sanlang, are you going to leave Beijing and go to Youzhou? I heard that Youzhou is far away." Lizhi leaned on her mother's back, revealing her face and asked Qin Lang.

"Well, Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. Even the fastest horse can only arrive for five days and five nights. Under normal circumstances, it will take ten days and half a month to walk."

"I heard that Youzhou is close to the outer world, so you should be careful of the Turks."

"Thank you for your concern."

Lizhi stepped forward with some displeasure, "My Aye-A-Miang has received the bride gift from your grand match, General Cheng, Duke of Suguo, and has also completed the birthday date and horoscope. After changing the Geng Post, the marriage letter has been issued. We are now an unmarried couple who are engaged."

Qin Lang suddenly felt funny when he heard a cute four-year-old girl telling him seriously that the two were unmarried couples, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Brother Sanlang, wait for me for ten years, and I will grow up in ten years and marry into the Qin family."

Qin Lang couldn't help laughing and almost burst out laughing. His titty voice was so stern and serious.

"Brother Sanlang, you have to promise me and wait for me."

"OK."

"Then you swear!" Li Zhi's big eyes flashed in a bad mood.

Qin Lang felt that he could not resist, so he had to raise his hand and swear, "I swear, when you grow up, I will ride a white horse to marry you."

"Really?" Li Zhi was delighted.

Qin Lang stretched out his right hand and bent his little finger, "Let's hook."

"Hook?"

"Well, the hook is raised for a hundred years and will not change!"

Qin Lang hooked the beautiful little finger with his little finger, then flipped his thumb up, and printed it with the beautiful big thumb.

The two hands, one big and one small, were locked firmly.

"Why do you have to hang your hook?" Li Zhi was puzzled.

"The two thumbs are raised and printed together, which means that the promise will never betray."

"Okay, the hook is raised for a hundred years and will not change." Li Zhi happily pressed her thumb tightly on Qin Lang's thumb.

The Crown Princess Changsun looked at the two big and small, smiling happily.

Originally, when she heard that the prince gave Lizhi to Qin Lang, she opposed it at first, and the two were a teenager apart. But later Li Shimin said that Qin Lang was actually twelve years older than Lizhi, and when he got married ten years later, Qin Lang was only twenty-six, and even got married early, just wait eight years.

After the husband carefully persuaded him, the Crown Princess finally did not object so much.

But now seeing Lizhi and Qin Lang as good as this, she felt that perhaps the two of them were really a couple.

"Sanlang, take this."

The Crown Princess took two boxes and opened them, a stack of deeds and books inside.

"This is?"

"The land deeds in the box on the left are all gifts sent by Cheng Yaojin for your family. Except for the pair of wild geese, I have all packed the rest here."

"The box on the right contains the Zhenfeng Shiyi and Yongye Field that the prince had just given to Lizhi, and the three thousand households and eight thousand acres of Yongye Field. I will give it to you all now."

Qin Lang looked at the two boxes and was a little stunned, not quite understanding the meaning of the Crown Princess for a moment.

"Is this my dear?"

"Originally, Lizhi would not get the real seal until after marriage, but Your Highness favored this child and made an exception and gave all the real seals despite the minister's opposition. Although I advised him, Your Highness refused to obey. Since the real seal has been given, it would be fine. Lizhi is still young and can't control these, so I just gave them all to you to take care of them."

The words of the Crown Princess Changsun were really surprising.

The Qin family gave a very generous gift. Although the wedding was ten years later, I gave it all before the engagement, which was still extremely rich. However, the Crown Princess was even more powerful. The Qin family gave a lot of gifts, but the Crown Princess did not leave any of them.

Not only did they all return, but they also gave Qin Lang the real place that Changle had just obtained.

"This is not a compensation for marriage. Your Highness said that it will be early to start buying the dowry in two years. It's still early and there is still time. These are just real secrets of the Lizhi. They were originally taken after marriage, so now I'll just leave it to you to help her take care of it. Anyway, it's yours."

Qin Lang thought about it and shook his head and refused.

"Crown Princess, since this grooming ceremony has been sent to the Eastern Palace, there is no reason to take it out again. As for the princess's true title, it should be managed by the Crown Princess."

"Sanlang, now your bride has been sent to the East Palace. When you come back from Hebei, the engagement ceremony will be officially held, so we are now a family. You have already separated from the Duke of Qi's Mansion. I heard that you still left the house without asking for anything. This is great. But you also have to start buying some industries and make plans for the future. We will give you the bride given by your father and the real seal of Changle. This is also a blessing from our two families to your future small families."

"You also need to start learning to manage finances and housekeeping, and it's better for you to manage these yourself."

Changsun insisted on the Tao.

After saying goodbye from the Eastern Palace, Qin Lang still brought the two boxes. The boxes were not heavy, and there were only some land deeds, certificates of deposit, the Qin family's gold, silver, money, silk, utensils, etc., all of them were stored elsewhere, and they were just needed to get them with the certificate of deposit.

But the things in these two small boxes are really expensive. Qin Qiong's plaza is almost half of the house in the Duke of Qi's Mansion in Qinrenfang, and Changle's real seal is also a total of 3,000 households and 8,000 acres of Yongye Field.

"Please follow our family."

An eunuch from the Eastern Palace led Qin Lang to Taifu Temple for handover.

After some procedures, Qin Langcai was surprised to find that the three thousand households that Li Shimin gave his daughter were actually selected by those wealthy families with a large number of households, and the average number of households was more than three cents per household. In fact, the three thousand households were truly sealed, which was enough to give 10 to 20 million.

This means that Changle can receive 12,000 tuitions for rent every year. One tuition rents two stones a year, and the annual silk is two meters and cotton is three liang. The princess can occupy two of the three, and the other three are paid to the court.

These princesses' enfeoffers were basically concentrated in Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Shannan, Huainan and other places, all of which were prosperous hometowns.

"Duke Yiguo, this is the decree of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince. You will be awarded again the Yongye land in Shandong and other places in Guannei. The Duke of the State is 4,000 mu, and the upper pillar of the State is 3,000 mu. According to the new regulations, those with both official titles and titles and deeds will be given according to the highest, so you should be awarded 4,000 mu. The Crown Prince Order is all enough, including 1,000 mu in the pass, 1,000 mu in Hedong, 1,000 mu in Henan, and 1,000 mu in Huainan. In addition, an additional 1,000 mu is given to Hebei. In addition, the previous reward of His Royal Highness to the Duke Yiguo's 3,000 mu of land at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, totaling 80 hectares."

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Li Yuan always rewarded his ministers with generous rewards. In order to compete for the hearts of the people, he spread all kinds of honors and titles without any money.

Even Yongyetian will give one if there is an official lord.

However, now that the world is unified, the situation has changed. The land must be given to the people and occupied by the royal family and the government. Therefore, the available land has gradually decreased. Therefore, Li Shimin followed the advice of his ministers. For those who have both honors and titles, the official will only give the highest amount of land to the highest amount, and may not even be able to give the full amount of land.

Now, Li Shimin is very generous to Qin Lang, the son-in-law. Not only did he give the highest Duke's 4,000 mu of Yongye Land, but he also gave the extra 1,000 mu, and he also chose those rich places. With the previous 3,000 mu, he actually got 8,000 mu. This disguisedly meant that he gave him both of the Duke of Yi and Shangzhu Kingdom, and even the official Yongye Land.

Qin Lang gave the real seal twice, and there were already 600 households. This time, each household was given three cents, and a total of 600 households were given 1,800 cents. From now on, Qin Lang could enjoy two-thirds of the rent and adjustment of 1,800 cents every year. Although it was still far from the 12,000 cents of Princess Changle, it was already generous among the ministers in the court.

"Duke Yi Guo, you have a total of 20,000 acres of land in your hands, mainly in Guannei, Henan, Hebei, Hedong, Shannan, Huainan. Congratulations to Duke Yi Guo, but our family also reminds Duke Yi Guo that after you get this land, the imperial court will not care about it for the time being, but from next spring, these lands can no longer be abandoned and must be cultivated. Otherwise, if the court finds abandoned, it will be punished. If it is abandoned for three consecutive years, then these lands will be taken back."

Qin Lang was a little surprised after the official's words.

"I can't waste everything and have to be cultivated? But how can I have so many people?"

The green-robed official smiled and said, "Duke Yiguo doesn't need to panic. Your Highness has considered this issue for you. Although your lands are scattered in many places, the enfeoffers of the Duke Yiguo and the princess are not all concentrated in one place, and they are also scattered everywhere. Therefore, the Duke Yiguo can give your lands to your enfeoffers to plant and collect rent. In this way, the Duke Yiguo's land will not be abandoned and there are people to cultivate, and the Duke Yiguo's enfeoffers can also rent more land and gain more profits."

"Don't the people have equalized the fields? Everyone has equalized the fields themselves, so they still need to rent my land to cultivate? Can they plant it?" Qin Lang asked. After all, the imperial court's equalization order clearly stated that each land is 100 acres, but the hereditary Yongye land needs to be collected after death to divide the fields of 80 acres.

One dime has a hundred acres of land.

"hehe."

The official smiled, "The Duke of Yiguo doesn't know that although the court ordered the equalization of land, saying that one hundred acres is the actual situation of the local population and land. If there is enough land in a broad village with few people and many lands, it will naturally reach one hundred acres. This hundred acres is the upper limit. However, in a narrow land with many people and few lands in the Central Plains, this hundred acres is basically difficult to reach, and it is often good to reach one hundred acres at an average of thirty or forty acres. Therefore, most people actually need to plant additional landlords and officials, or official land, government land, etc.."

It turns out that the so-called equal land and one resident gives a hundred acres of land, which is just an ideal state, or the upper limit of land grants. However, in the large population of Central Plains, it is difficult to achieve this. The fields in a village are limited. If the private land in the hands of landlords and people, the one that can be used to equal land is the official land and public land in the hands of the government. The more people the population, the less the average division will be.

After the war, many villages in the Central Plains were destroyed and the population was greatly reduced, giving the court room to equalize the fields. Otherwise, if one piece of land is one owner, how could there be equal land?

Now even after the war, the whole thing is almost the same. There are fewer and fewer lands without owners, and there are also those border areas.

He had two acres of land in his hand at once. The eight thousand acres were managed by Changle. He himself was eight thousand acres. Qin Qiong took it out for a marriage and handed it over to him. He has indeed become a big landlord in the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, there are 13,800 people, otherwise I really don’t know how to cultivate and manage these lands.

If the 20,000 mu is rented out, and according to the official land lease standard, the land rent income of 12,000 stones of millet will be increased by six dou of the official land, that year, you will be able to have a land rent income of 12,000 stones of millet. If you add 13,800 land leases of two-thirds of the land for 9,000 stones of millet, and more than 2,000 pieces of silk are added...

Damn it!

Qin Lang was shocked when he calculated. He only rented the household and reconciled Yongye's land rent. In a year, he only had more than 21,000 stone grain and more than 2,000 pieces of silk. Li Shimin gave him a money tree.
