On the residence of Chai Shao, the son-in-law of Chang'an City, the dining table was filled with steamed fat chicken, glutinous rice duck, fried venison and roasted lamb chops. Chai Shao looked at the dishes in front of him, his face was as gloomy as water. The little maid serving him was smiling with a strong face, and only the face was covered with powder, with a faint tear mark.

Chai Shao was getting more and more bored and could not stand others laughing. This little maid just slid down in the snow because her accomplices almost slid in the snow. After Chai Shao saw it, she ordered people to take off their pants and just squatted on the board.

Facing opposite Chai Shao was his second brother-in-law Dou Dan. In name, Dou Dan was Chai Shao's second brother-in-law. In fact, Dou Dan was thirteen years younger than Chai Shao. At this time, Dou Dan, who was nearly fifteen years old, looked as depressed as Chai Shao. Moreover, there were some scratching marks on his face and mottled blood.

In the Tang Dynasty, being a son-in-law is actually not a great job, because there is a very strong Empress Tai Mu, and Li Yuan's children are somewhat more powerful as Empress Tai Mu.

So, Dou Dan, the fifteen-year-old prince-consort, was in a tragedy. He was the princess Li Xiu'an of Xiangyang (made it myself, but the name was not found.) Li Xiu'an was Li Xiu'an's second sister. Compared with Li Xiu'an, Li Xiu'an's temper is more violent and savage and unreasonable.

Dou Dan just said a few more words to a little maid from the Princess' Mansion, but was caught by the Princess Xiangyang. The Princess Xiangyang did not say anything and ordered her servant to remove the poor maid's clothes and tie it to the snow. Until the middle of the night, the poor maid gradually stopped talking. At dawn, she found that the person was already stiff in the cold.

Dou Dan just complained a few times and made the Princess Xiangyang angry. The Princess Xiangyang showed off her might and scratched Dou Dan's face into a big glossy face. Although Dou Dan also looked weak, she actually wanted to take action, and the two Princess Xiangyang could not gain any advantage, but Dou Dan did not dare.

Facing the golden branch and jade leaves, there seems to be no other way except to scold and fight back. Even Guo Ziyi's son Guo Nuan beat Jinzhi, which was a drunken fight.

But he was really angry, Dou Dan slammed the door and left the Prince's Mansion, went to Wangjiang Tower to get drunk, and happened to meet Chai Shao. The brothers and brothers in distress were both sick and returned to Chai Shao's mansion and looked for comfort to each other.

Chai Shao actually envied Dou Dan a little. At least, although the Princess Xiangyang is domineering and barbaric, at least the couple can still get together. He rarely even meets Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning. Now even Chai Shao himself almost forgot what Li Xiuning looks like.

"Brother Guang, let it bear it!" Chai Shao comforted the young prince-in-law Dou Dan Dou Guangda with a misunderstanding. "If it is a little bit of awesome, today we can't eat well, and if we don't do it well, we will still implicate the family!"

Although Dou Dan was very dissatisfied, did he dare to propose a separation from Li Yuan? No matter how his father would deal with him, at least the Princess Xiangyang would not let him go. Once the Princess Xiangyang rushed into the Dou family and made a big fuss, how could the Dou family have the face?

Can't bear it? But there is no way to do it. This woman who is good-looking (for harmony) has to be a woman who has become a good person, but she still has to do it five times a night. She will be weak when she sees Xiangyang. Anyway, her life is over. I hope that my elder brother Dou Yan and second brother Dou Jing can have a smooth career.

"I can't bear to see what can I do!" Dou Dan choked up: "This is not a life for people to live at all!"

A trace of undetectable disdain flashed in Chai Shao's eyes. Although he was not in harmony with Li Xiuning and his wife, at least Li Xiuning would not interfere in his private life. Not to mention that he had nothing to do with the maid, even if there was something really, Li Xiuning would not leave any room for anything like the Princess Xiangyang.

Although the dishes on the table did not disappear much, the wine dropped very quickly. Gradually, Dou Dan's tongue began to grow bigger. The topic couldn't help but touch the hottest topics of the court at present.

"Sichang, the Xue family has been destroyed, Li Gui asked to surrender. I heard that even Li Mi sent Wei Zheng to ask for it!" Dou Dan sighed and said with a bitter face: "The country of the Tang Dynasty is getting more and more stable. How can we have a good life for our brothers in the future? If you accidentally anger the ancestor in your family, you will start a lawsuit and ask for the family property and confiscate it. That is really a matter of no response every day, and it is called "the land and earth are not effective..."

”

"Yes, yes. Let's be careful in the future. Don't hit the knife."

As he spoke Wuxin, he listened to the intentional Dou Dan's words, he reminded Chai Shao that a short-selling prince-consort only did not count. Less than half a year after his founding, good news came from the Emperor's Palace one after another, and more than a dozen concubines became pregnant one after another. By then, a large number of princes and princesses were born, and the prince-consort would be even more valuable.

At this moment, Chai Shao's Qingyi's staff came quickly and leaned over to whisper softly in Chai Shao's ear.

"What? Take this matter seriously?"

Chai Shao's face suddenly turned red into a red cloth. I don't know if he was drinking too much or because of his anger.

"Reporting to the young master, the imperial edict has been issued, and the newspaper of the residence will definitely be published in the late lunar month. Chen Ying was awarded the title of "Boy of Xiuwu County, Founding State, and the fief of 700 households."

"Pu!" Chai Shao was so angry that he kicked the table. The dishes on the table fell into pieces. Of course, Chai Shao shouted heart-wrenchingly again.

"ah!"

...

Holding the bright yellow imperial scroll in his hand, Chen Ying's head was still dizzy until now, and he had not come back to his senses for a long time.

Chen Qi, the attendant of Ganlu Palace, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master, you will be awarded the title of marquis and Dukes in the next day, just around the corner!"

Chen Ying watched Chen Qi keep leaning forward to him, and he knew that he was addicted to drinking Chen's tea.

"Shi Chen Chang, it's very hard to go back and forth, so I'll ask for tea in the middle!"

"How can you be so embarrassed? Please trouble my uncle!" Chen Qi raised his legs and walked into the house.

Chen Yingyao said that he was not fond of this count, which was definitely a lie. Of course, the earls in the Tang Dynasty could not be spoken at the same time as those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes governed their own country and paid tribute to the Zhou emperor every spring and autumn. In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was an earl or a marquis, there was only nominal fief. The court would send officials to govern the local area, pay the taxes in the fief to the country, and give the tax to the individuals who were granted the title.

In other words, Chen Ying can receive taxes from 700 households from then on.

In ancient times, taxes and taxes were actually separate. Taxes were used to relieve famines, build bridges and roads, pay military salaries, pay official salaries and repair cities. However, taxes were exclusively for royal expenses. Kangxi's imperial edict "never increase taxes" was praised by shameless literati to become a sage king for all ages. In fact, it was just Kangxi who was playing a word game. He did not add taxes, but he could increase taxes endlessly, and he could withdraw the money in the treasury at will.

Although Chen Ying received an earl title, in fact, he earned only 200 coins per household within a year, which is about 140 coins. However, Li Yuan took away Chen Ying, the golden rooster who could lay eggs. If Chen Ying continued to monopolize the business of down jackets, Chen Ying could earn at least 100, 140 coins, or even 1,000, 140 coins in one year.

After careful calculation, Chen Ying still suffered a loss.
