Running Chang'an is running the military's home base.

Don't look at these old guys, one is a prince or the other is a prince. Each of them has either thousands or hundreds of households. However, they only have the power to collect taxes and have no power to actually manage.

Even the power to collect taxes is not actually in their hands. It is given to local officials after they receive the money.

The most unreliable thing in the world is money passing through the hands of others, just like Yongye Field, Koufen Field, and Guan Field in Yunchu, all in the damn Taibai Mountain. How much you can receive in a year depends on what the local officials want. Even if you eat meat, you still want to drink soup.

When you want to eat meat, Yongye, Koufen, and Guantian in Yunchu will lose all their harvest, and sometimes they will have to pay it back.

When he wants to drink soup, Yunchu can get some grain, linen, and some local products. For example, last year when the world was ripe, Yunchu got three loads of shriveled wheat and six pieces of linen that were not even good rags. , of course, there are also two dried rabbits and three pheasants.

When he got these things, Yun Chu almost cried. This was a big advantage he had taken in Datang.

The situation in the nobles' fiefdoms will not be any better than that in Yunchu. The nobles are prohibited from exploiting the people. This is what Emperor Taizong said in advance before rewarding the meritorious officials with land and population.

Unless he can be so powerful that, like Changsun Wuji, he not only has the title of Duke of Zhao, but also has a part-time job as the governor of Zhaozhou. Only in this way can he allocate the output of the fief to himself and become very wealthy.

Apart from him, even a prince, after becoming a vassal, has to accept the control of the prime minister, Chang Shi and others appointed by the imperial court, not to mention the local officials, who will treat him as a thief. Be on guard.

Not to mention the rest of the nobles. If there is a disaster in the fiefdom, they have the obligation to rescue the people in the fiefdom. As for other things, they can really be ignored.

The fields near Chang'an are different. They were all the heroes who followed Gaozu and Emperor Taizong to conquer the world in their early years. They obtained the fields because of their military exploits or other achievements.

These fields are basically managed by their wives themselves, and all the harvest belongs to them except taxes. Therefore, what is here is the real thing.

In the Tang Dynasty, land was the source of wealth. Regardless of whether the land was high or low, as long as she could buy good land, she was a woman who knew how to live. Yunchu believed that this view was wrong, but as soon as he said it, he was refuted by Yu Xiurong and Cui. They stubbornly believed that the land was the most important. If there was an order in which the family's property needed to be divested, hundreds of acres of land in Qujiang would , will be the last property to be divested. Bayi Chinese website

As for Jinchangfang Food, which is making money every day

Tang belongs to the wealth that should be exchanged or given up before the family is destroyed.

The production of alcohol, quilts, and down jackets are planned as indivisible wealth by these two women. If the Yun family is unlucky, they will have to rely on these hundreds of acres of land to make a comeback with these two secret recipes.

Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. This is what is said in the art of war books, but in the eyes of Yu Xiurong and Cui, the fields are eternal. This is not only the view of Cui and Yu Xiurong, but also the view of Quan Changan.

Yunchu didn't understand this very much. The current output of one acre of land in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty was less than two hundred catties in a good year. This was still the output of paddy fields. Even if the output of one mu of land was three hundred catties, according to Chang'an The price of grain at this time was eight cents per dou, and three hundred kilograms counted as thirty dou, which amounted to two hundred and forty cents a year. Including the income from planting a crop of millet or buckwheat after the wheat harvest, not counting labor. One acre of land can earn up to 400 yuan a year.

What's even more terrible is that the price of paddy fields near Chang'an is eleven thousand dollars per mu, which is eleven thousand dollars. It takes nearly thirty years of no food or drink to get back the money to buy the land. This is basically the life course of most of the Tang people. Go without food or drink all your life just to get an acre of land?

"That's not how the accounts are settled!" After receiving the betrothal gift from the Yun family, Yu Xiurong, who had not shunned Yun Chu for a long time, had already placed herself in the position of the mistress of the Yun family, and took it for granted.

Yun Chu wanted to raise his hand and slap the stubborn Yu Xiurong, but found that this little woman had a firm face. Even after being beaten, she still insisted that the Yun family should take the route of annexing the land.

Just when the stalemate was deadlocked, Yun Chu suddenly remembered that the house he bought a long time ago... had a loan of twenty years and had to repay about four thousand a month, while his monthly salary was only seven or eight thousand... ··How similar to the situation of people buying land in the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, a group of wise men in the government said that he had made a good purchase and would definitely make money.

It's strange. The land near Chang'an can be sold by listing it in the same school district as the house he bought before. If Yun Chu were to put his family's land in Qujiang up for sale now, and pay 11 yuan per acre of land, within a day, a luxurious buyer would come to the door and give him cash!

And if he gets the cash, he will definitely be ridiculed by the entire Chang'an people as a prodigal, a scum who ruined the family business.

Since I used to be able to do such irrational things in a world with advanced technology and transparent information. It is very wrong to expect Yu Xiurong and Cui, the two natives of the Tang Dynasty, to transcend the times.

Houses and land are actually the same. The Chinese love these two things to death and have loved them for thousands of years. It's hard to buy good things with money, so Yunchu accepted his fate.

The family has too much money, so much that even the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci'en Temple is not willing to accept it.

It would be a good idea to use part of the Yun family's money to buy land and push up the land prices near Chang'an. At least, not so many people are willing to sell their land.

After all, in a world with few investment channels, the higher the price of land, the fewer people will sell their land.

It is also a good thing to put all your money in the land.

"Did you just want to slap me?" Yu Xiurong stared at Yun Chu with a pair of bright eyes. It was obvious that she was still angry. "Nonsense, the Yun family has not had the habit of beating their wives since the eighth generation of their ancestors." "Yes, then beat my sister to death?" Naha interjected while peeling roasted chestnuts. "If you dare to run to Pingkangfang again, next time you won't beat your sister with a bamboo stick, but with a stick." . "

"I came to see the dancers that Sister Gongsun bought to see if their legs are longer than mine. Why do you hit me?'

Seeing that Naha was really angry, Yu Xiurong quickly hugged Naha and comforted her: "Pingkangfang is indeed not a good place. If you want to see Sister Gongsun in the future, I will invite her to my home. We can watch the dancer she bought at home." Well, I don’t dare to go to Pingkangfang to show my face anymore.'

"Why can't you go there? It's so lively.

"Uh-" Yunchu growled in a low voice and walked out of the house with his fists clenched. Naha was already old and he really couldn't hit her anymore.

At this time, it was time for Yu Xiurong to show that she was like a mother-in-law. As a girl grew up, there were many things that Yun Chu, the elder brother, could not say.

Cui quickly came out and said to Yun Chu, "Miss Naha is very smart. You don't need to be so angry. When she is older, she will understand." Yun Chu looked at Cui angrily and said, "Three years You said this before, and you still say it now, when will she grow up? Cui covered her mouth and said with a smile: "If little lady Naha really grows up, the husband may be even more reluctant to leave her. "

When it comes to Naha's marriage, Yun Chu feels very uncomfortable. This sister must be chosen carefully. She must have a rich family, a high status person, a talented person, and a docile temperament. After being beaten by Naha, she still died. You have to love Naha life and death!

Otherwise, it is not easy for such a brother-in-law to get pregnant early.

Seeing a group of round women wearing green and white spots and corset skirts rolling past his eyes, he said to Cui: "I said two years ago that as long as they find the one they love, they can leave home and live. , why, no one has left in the past two years?

It's been two years, they should have saved a lot of money, right?" Ms. Cui pinched her double chin and said, "Only fools go out."

As he spoke, he gave Yun Chu a wink and said, "The husbands there are not as reliable as our husbands, so why go out?" Yun Chu shuddered and said, "You have become dishonest now too." After all, if you want to harm people, go find someone else, don’t come and make me sick.

Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "In the past three years, I feel that I am really alive. Even the sins I suffered before, now I feel that I deserve to be free from those sins. How can it be my turn to live a free life now?" day.

Yun Chu lamented and asked Fei Jiu to bring the bay-red horse, and planned to go to Guangfufang to exchange copper pancakes for two meat buns. Today, Naha, Yu Xiurong, and Cui were very angry.

Fei Jiu's pockmarked face, which originally looked like some lines, has now turned into a flat cake spread with sesame seeds. "You don't plan to get married or anything." Fei Jiu shook his head resolutely and said, "No, don't you plan to have a son and a half to continue the family line?"

Fei Jiu continued to shake his head resolutely and said: "I had children before, worthy of my ancestors, but I won't have any anymore. Besides, among the fat ladies in our yard, which one do you think is the one who can give birth to a son?" "I think they Now she is much younger than those thirty-year-old women outside, so having a baby won’t be a problem, right?

"They are the food and drinks in our family. They are raised hard. If they were not at home, God knows how old they would be. They are all old enough to be grandmothers. Don't harm me, sir. If you really want a woman When I was a kid, I went to Pingkangfang to solve all my problems. Not only was I young and good-looking, but I was also beautiful.

I hate my ugly face.

Yun Chu sighed and said, "This is all my fault. The money I gave you is too much." Even if you don't pay, you can get a little reward from Miss Naha from time to time, and you will have all the money you need. "

Yun Chu laughed in anger, but this way of communicating was not bad. It could at least reduce the guilt he felt when he was a big landlord and a big bully who exploited the people.

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.

To this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possessing the memory of a previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.

There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
