"Ah sneeze~! Ah~ ah sneeze~!"
Li Zexuan, who was immersed in writing in the study, sneezed twice inexplicably. He was already overwhelmed by a bunch of chemical reaction formulas, and now he felt even more depressed.
"Damn~! Whose little girl is this thinking about me~? Hey~! It's a sin that this person is too outstanding~!"
As the saying goes, when you sneeze once, someone scolds you; when you sneeze twice, someone misses you; when you sneeze three times, someone talks about you. That's why Li Zexuan is so shameless. murmured to himself.
"Ha~! Who are you thinking about, sir~?"
Han Yuxi opened the door and came to Li Zexuan softly, saying playfully.
Li Zexuan blushed and said hurriedly: "Ahem~! Do you even need to ask~? Of course I am thinking of you, my wife~!"
Han Yuxi spat: "Smooth talk, obviously not like this~!"
Although she said this, Han Yuxi didn't mean to study it seriously, and it was mostly a joke.
Li Zexuan smiled coquettishly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the cold, bright red juice that Han Yuxi brought in. He was surprised and said, "Hey~! Is this iced watermelon juice~?"
It stands to reason that there was no juicer in the Tang Dynasty~!
Han Yuxi smiled softly and said: "Ah~! How do you know, sir~?"
"Yeah~! You can smell it~!"
On a hot summer day, a glass of ice-cold watermelon juice suddenly appears in front of you. Is there anything happier than this in the world~? At this time, Li Zexuan didn't bother to ask Han Yuxi how to squeeze the juice. He directly picked up the cup and enjoyed it while responding to Han Yuxi's questions.
Now it seems that editing a book at home is a bit hard, but it feels good to have a caring person taking care of me~!
………………………
Six days later.
"Haha~! The special girl is finally liberated~! Grandma didn't expect that being a rich second generation would be so hard~!"
On this day, Li Zexuan finally walked out of his west courtyard. He had been in seclusion for a month, but it made the people of Chang'an City lonely. Without the big news he made every now and then, the people of Chang'an City said that their lives were a little less. Fun, but luckily there is also "Datang Daily" to pass the boring time.
"Hehe~! Master, are you out of seclusion~?"
Xiao He trotted over from a distance, with a smile as bright as a flower path.
"Hmm~! That's right~! How about~? Master, I will be in seclusion for a month. Xiaohe, did you miss me~!"
Li Zexuan narrowed his eyes and teased.
Cough~! In fact, it can't be said to be teasing. He has been with the two maids for so long, and they have become very familiar with each other. It is not so much teasing as it is just playing~! Li Zexuan would never make such a joke about a strange girl.
It is said that during the month he was in seclusion, not only people outside could not see him, but many people in the mansion rarely saw him. Xiao He, a person who hung out in the West Courtyard every day, only saw him when Li Zexuan came out to use the toilet every day. , to see the true body.
"Hehe~! No way~! Master, if you say so, you are not afraid that Madam will not let you in at night~!"
Xiaohe is not afraid of Li Zexuan, she stuck out her tongue and said naughtily.
Li Zexuan listened happily and smiled nonchalantly: "Haha~! My Yuxi is not such a person~! But little girl, when you get married in the future, maybe you will become that kind of fierce shrew~!"
"Master, you~!"
Xiao He was so angry that she put one hand on her hips and pointed at Li Zexuan with the other and said angrily: "Master, you have gone too far~! Xiao He... Xiao He doesn't want to get married~! Oops~! I'll ignore you~!"
If the person in front of him hadn't been Li Zexuan, Xiao He would have exchanged harsh words or punched him with his unruly temper~! It's rare that the little girl can still maintain her last sanity at this time.
"Haha~! Xiaonizi, are you still fighting with me?"
Li Zexuan looked at Xiao He's back and murmured happily.
It seems pretty good to be able to quarrel with such a naughty little girl every day~!
"My husband, you are so serious~! How can a girl named Xiaohe stand up to what you say~?"
Han Yuxi walked over from outside the yard and complained slightly to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan laughed and said: "Haha~! It's okay~! This little girl forgot everything after a meal and a nap~!"
Han Yuxi was speechless. She looked at Xiao He's back, then turned to Li Zexuan and said, "By the way, mother was just saying that the farmers in Hanjiazhuang and Mei Village have begun to urge us to collect the rent. Just in time, sir, you have the money on hand." I’ve already finished my business, so I won’t get involved~!”
Li Zexuan was startled, and then he remembered that he was a big landlord. Under normal circumstances, all he had to do was eat at home and wait for death. However, in the past and present, how could any landlord take the initiative to urge the landlord to collect rent~? It’s really weird!
Shaking his head and putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Li Zexuan responded: "Okay~! Let me go for a walk~! But madam, how is the harvest in the village this year~?"
With his current family wealth, of course he doesn't care about the rent. The annual harvest has little impact on him, but it has a great impact on the farmers, so he asked this question.
When Han Yuxi heard this, her face darkened and she said softly: "There is less rain this year. I heard from my father that the harvest in Zhuangzi is not very good. Generally speaking, it will be about one or two percent less than last year. The farmers in Hanjiazhuang and Mei Village are not that big." The impact is because, sir, you gave them a discount on rent for raising chickens, but other farmers in the village may not have it easy~!"
When Li Zexuan heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't the imperial court also issue a decree to reduce the burden of raising chickens? Although it is not as strong as ours, it can somewhat reduce their burden~?"
Han Yuxi rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "My lord, aren't you asking questions knowingly~? Although this decree of the imperial court can reduce the burden of some people, it can only be enjoyed by farmers with fields~! More farmers are planting The land of the landlords~! Those landlords only want to collect 10% of the rent, so how can they care about the life and death of the farmers~? "
The Tang Dynasty implemented a land equalization system, dividing Yongye fields and Kou subfields. Yongye fields could be inherited without paying taxes, while Kou subfields had to pay taxes and were returned to the state after death. Each adult could be allocated eighty acres of Kou subfields and twenty mu of Kou subfields. Mu Yongye Field, Yongye Field can be bought and sold. When the years were bad, the harvest of many ordinary people's fields was not enough to pay taxes, so they had to sell their Yongye fields.
The landowner collected a lot of Yongye fields, but his own land was still only 80 acres, and he only needed to collect and pay a small tax~! And what about the banker who sold Yongye Field~? Although they received a large amount of money from selling the land, they still had to pay taxes on their 80 acres of land. When the annual harvest was not good, they would still eat their money, so many people ended up going back to the landlords to rent land for farming. , to make up for the income and expenses.
