Zhang Yang thought, "We have a small population. If we can improve production efficiency by using goods to offset taxes, the cost for us will be lower."
Li Yue nodded, "That's true."
The next morning, because he was banned from going to court, Zhang Yang had a good night's sleep. When he got up in the morning, he felt that the chirping of birds was much clearer.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang started to clean up, "Daughter-in-law, hurry up and pack up, we are going to Lishan Mountain for a lockdown."
For those who are still happy despite being banned, five years of salary should be five years of salary.
It's not as important as three thousand acres.
Seeing her husband being so happy despite being grounded, Wang Husband Jackie Chan's heart was hit again.
After loading all the luggage at home into the car, the little bear seemed to be very happy. He kept spinning around in the yard and followed Xiao Wu.
A car full of luggage was loaded.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang also discussed it. Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Consort were going to Lishan Mountain for a month of confinement. Someone at home still had to watch. In the end, Aunt Wang decided to stay and watch the family.
Zhang Yang pulled the cart out of the alley, and the family headed towards the east city gate.
It was the time for the next court session. Zhang Xiangxiang, who was about to enter the Foreign Affairs Academy, happened to see Zhang Yang pulling a cart of luggage.
Xu Jingzong came in a hurry and saw it.
The two of them stepped forward together, "Zhang Shangshu, what are you doing?"
Holding a car full of luggage and stopping, Zhang Yang replied: "What else can I do? Your Majesty asked me to be grounded for a month. I will be grounded at Lishan Mountain."
Thinking of Zhang Yang's previous deeds, and feeling that the future of the Ministry of Rites was unclear, and that the Minister of Rites was out of tune, the lower officials were very worried. It seemed that the Minister of Rites would be fired by His Majesty at any time, Zhang Daxiang's heart beat loudly, and he continued to preach.
: "Zhang Shangshu remembers this lesson and will not act like this next time."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Brother Elephant, don't worry, I will think twice before doing anything."
Xu Jingzong took out a memorial and said, "I have drafted a memorial. I don't know if it is feasible. I would like to ask Zhang Shangshu to read it."
"I am grounded now and cannot discuss official matters. You can make your own decisions. I believe in your abilities."
After saying this, Zhang Yang pulled the car and walked away step by step.
Zhang Xiangxiang felt this and said to Xu Jingzong, "Brother Xu, if I can't see the future of the Ministry of Rites, what's the future?"
Xu Jingzong's eyes showed more admiration for Zhang Yang, "A heroic man can bend and stretch. This is the demeanor of a hero."
These words made Zhang Elephant speechless again.
Xu Jingzong said again: "Look, our Zhang Shangshu laughs so happily and walks happily."
When you get to the city gate, hang the cart behind the carriage and pull it away.
Li Yue made one final check to see if there was any missing furniture. After checking everything, he continued on his way towards Lishan Mountain.
It was the morning when the sun was shining brightly, and there were many pedestrians along the way.
Zhang Yang was sitting on the shaft of the car, planning to have a good time during the month-long vacation. In the first half of the month, he was busy directing the construction of Lishan, and in the second half of the month, he was busy tidying up his new home.
Have a fulfilling long vacation, eh.
There are not many times when you can have holidays when you are serving in the imperial court, let alone double holidays. Even if it is a holiday, it still depends on the emperor's wishes whether the imperial court should take a break.
It was already noon when we arrived at Lishan.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Tai arranged for his guards to come and move.
The little fat man also caught a few rabbits, and the family sat at the entrance of the village killing the rabbits.
Li Yue held a small knife in her hand, imitating Aunt Yang's movements to skin the little rabbit, remove its internal organs, and then carefully set the rabbit up on wood.
It should be said that the age at which my daughter-in-law and Xiao Wu are most loving towards small animals.
But from their eyes, there was no hint of kindness due to the cuteness of the rabbit.
On the contrary, he raised and dropped the knife very neatly.
Shangguan Yi came over in a hurry, "Why doesn't Ling Lishan go to the village to eat?"
Zhang Yang prepared the sauce and said, "I'm waiting for someone here. Do you want to eat some together? The rabbits that His Highness the King of Wei let people catch are very fresh."
Shangguan Yi nodded and said, "That's fine."
As soon as he arrived at the village, the little bear ran into the village happily. He was very competitive for this land, and soon he challenged the dogs in the village again.
Several half-grown dogs were chased away by the little bear, making them bark and run away.
This seems to be a kind of bloodline suppression, as if they know that this bear cannot be offended. When this beast grows up, it will take more than one paw to deal with them.
The rabbit was roasted, and Shangguan Yi ate the rabbit meat, "I wonder who Zhang Shangshu is waiting for?"
Zhang Yang sprinkled some pepper on the roasted rabbit and said, "People from Hube."
"Ministry of Revenue? This year's grain hasn't been harvested yet. They won't come to collect taxes so early. Besides, aren't our taxes collected by Lantian County?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, "It won't be the case in the future. Even Lantian County will be our home in the future?"
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Tai interrupted: "Because from now on, Lantian County will be the fiefdom of the emperor's sister."
Shangguan Yi said in surprise: "Really? That means our fiefdom has been expanded again?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
Shangguan Yi smiled at first and asked in a low voice: "How much will it be expanded?"
Li Tai stretched out his oily fingers and said, "Expand by two thousand acres."
Shangguan Yi, who was chewing rabbit meat in his mouth, was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
He immediately stood up and said, "Two thousand acres!"
Li Tai nodded and said, "Yes, my father made the decree yesterday. I think the officials from the Ministry of Revenue are already on their way."
Shangguan Yi took out the cup that Zhang Yang had given him earlier. This kind of cup is very useful to carry around. Gudong Gudong... After taking several sips of cold water, he took a breath and said, "Lishan Order, I'm in charge of this."
We already have more than a thousand acres of land, so I’m afraid I’ll have two more acres of land..."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Lantian County will also be included in the fiefdom in the future, including the original population."
After a pause in speaking, thinking that the current magistrate of Lantian County had not yet gotten to know him well, Zhang Yang looked back and asked, "What is this man's name?"
"The magistrate of Lantian County and Chu Suiliang, the young minister of Honglu Temple in the DPRK, are from the same hometown, and their name is Chu Nan."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "If you work with him from now on, he will still be the magistrate of Lantian County, and other matters remain unchanged."
The group finished eating six rabbits, and Li Tai had the remaining live rabbits put into cages, intending to kill them and eat them later.
It was not until half past midnight that I saw a group of officers and soldiers heading towards the village. They were not walking very fast along the way.
Zhang Yang took Shangguan Yi and first saluted the visitor. It turned out that the person was none other than Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Tang Jian saluted politely, "I have met Zhang Shangshu."
"How is Tang Shangshu doing lately?"
"Everything is fine." Tang Jian looked around and took out a brochure, "According to His Majesty's decree, we came to demarcate the land for the Lishan Order. Let's go to Lantian County first and compare the land acres with the Magistrate of Lantian County.
"
Li Yue and Aunt Yang went to clean up their residence first.
Zhang Yang and Tang Jian of Shangguanyi led a group of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the county government office of Lantian County.
Lishan was still a long way from Lantian County, and it was not until evening that we arrived at the county government office.
Chu Nan, the county magistrate of Lantian County, looks capable in his early thirties.
"I have met Zhang Shangshu, Yang Shangshu, and Shangguan brothers. Please take a seat." It took Chu Nan a long time to salute.
No two ministers from the Six Ministries of the Central Government have come to Lantian County together yet.
The entire Lantian County covers an area of 2,700 acres. Tang Jian took Lishan Mountain as the boundary, and bordered Luonan and Weinan in the north, and marked out 2,000 acres of land on the map.
"I wonder if Zhang Shangshu is still satisfied with this?"
Zhang Yang looked at the map and focused on the prominent places in Weinan, "Is this place also in Weinan County?"
Tang Jian checked the booklet in his hand and said, "That piece of land is not included in Weinan, but only about ten acres of land exists as a boundary."
"You said that there is an inexplicable missing piece on my map. Just looking at it makes me uncomfortable."
Tang Jian heard this and said again: "I wonder what Zhang Shangshu's wisdom is?"
Zhang Yang pointed to this piece of land, "How about you allocate more than ten acres of this piece of land to me as well, and just treat us as friends?"
Tang Jian stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It's not impossible, but after demarcating the land like this, Zhang Shangshu will not recommend the official to go to the Western Regions."
"How could it be? We are friends."
Looking at the smile on Zhang Yang's face, the more Tang Jian looked at it, the more he felt that the smile was too fake.
After speaking, he added these ten acres of land to the Lishan fiefdom with a stroke of his pen, and then asked the clerk behind him to record it in the eucalyptus.
Zhang Yang pointed to a piece of land in the north, "Whose family owns this piece of land near Bahe River?"
Tang Jian glanced at it and compared it with the book in his hand. After reading for a long time, he said, "This is close to the fiefdom of the Changsun family, but there is no one who owns the land. It is only more than a hundred acres, so it should be given to Zhang Shangshu."
Zhang Yang pointed to the junction of Chan River and Ba River.
Tang Jian had a troubled expression on his face, "Zhang Shangshu, don't push yourself too far. We have allocated more than a hundred acres of land, and it's hard for me to make any further decisions."
Zhang Yang looked at the map greedily, "I just asked casually, but I didn't want it."
Tang Jian put away the book and said in a deep voice: "That's good. I'll leave the rest of the affairs to Lantian County and Lishan Order themselves. I'll take my leave now."
"Walk slowly."
After sending Tang Jian off, Zhang Yang recalled the teacher's words. It was really inappropriate for Tang Jian to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When it comes to land and acres, he should be harsh and harsh, and he should not just give the land to whomever he wants.
As an official in charge of money and food, if you are so kind, something will happen sooner or later.
Zhang Yang put away his map and headed for Lishan Mountain.
Shangguan Yi and the magistrate of Lantian County were left looking at each other.
Chu Nan asked: "Has this Lishan Order behaved like this in the past?"
Shangguan Yi nodded, "Let's pay more attention, he has always been like this."
Humming a small tune, Zhang Yang rode his spring horse slowly back to Lishan Mountain and arrived in front of his house.
Li Yue and Aunt Yang are cleaning their residence.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was back, she trotted forward and said, "Husband, are you done rowing?"
Zhang Yang took out the map and saw everything on it.
Taking it back to the house, Li Yue hung the picture on the wall and looked carefully at the large area of land on the picture. This designated land would be the future Lishan fiefdom.
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea to quench his thirst, "I asked Tang Jian to allocate more than a hundred acres of land. They are all unowned land at the junction. They will also belong to our family in the future. I originally wanted him to allocate more land, but he
I refused again."
The location of Lantian County is actually very good, and the geographical location is also very good.
Both Chanshui River and Bashui River flow through Lantian County. This area has no shortage of water resources and is densely greened.
Zhang Yang put his arm around Li Yue's shoulders and said, "From now on, our home will be on the top of Lishan Mountain. We can overlook the entire Lantian County from the top of the mountain. Looking from the top down, we can see the entire fiefdom."
With a happy smile on her face, Li Yue was also very satisfied with the land, "It's a pity that my husband has lost five years of salary."
"The money and food can be earned back slowly in the future."
Zhang Yang pointed to a piece of land and said, "How about we build an academy here."
Letting her husband hold her waist, Li Yue leaned on her husband's strong arms and said, "Well, we raise some small animals in that area."
"Small animals?" Zhang Yang thought, "Make a zoo?"
Li Yue blinked, "Of course you raise small animals for food. What is a zoo?"
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "That land is along the river, so it's not suitable for raising animals."
"Then use it to grow flowers."
"I think that area is good for building a residential area. We can build beautiful houses for the villagers."
"Houses can be built anywhere. Originally there was so much land in Lantian County."
"That land is used to build a factory."
"Then it wouldn't be very troublesome to relocate."
The couple had conflicts over land distribution.
Aunt Yang saw that the two of them had their own opinions, and they discussed in a low voice from the beginning. At this moment, the princess's fist was hitting the prince-in-law.
Zhang Yang said: "If you keep animals by the river, it will not be good for the water source."
"Wouldn't it cost more to move to the riverside? How many people would have to move?"
"You can also raise small animals directly at the foot of the mountain. Wouldn't it be better to give the little bears more animals to bully?"
The little bear squatted against the wall, watching the quarreling master and hostess with dull eyes.
In the end, the couple decided to decide on the transformation of the fiefdom by playing cards. Although this method was unscientific, it was still a method that could convince the daughter-in-law.
Put the cards on the table, and the couple each draw a card and take out a card in their hands to compare the big and small.
"It's about the disposal of the land by the river." Li Yue held the cards in her hand, "My husband shows his cards first."
Zhang Yang took out a king, Li Yue looked at the three cards in his hand, and slowly took out a ten, looking very aggrieved.
Life as a family will not always be peaceful.
Li Yue, who lost three games in a row, was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Aunt Yang looked at the young couple's quarrel, smiled gently, then took out the princess's old clothes, took out her needle and thread, and sat under the oil lamp to sew and mend.
Nowadays, cotton thread is used to mend clothes. The thread is very thin and can hide the thread ends.
It was late at night and the little bear had fallen asleep.
Li Yue won three and lost six. She was so angry that she closed the door and didn't want to continue.
In the early morning, the couple walked out of their rooms and sat facing each other to have breakfast. The map was still hanging on the wall.
Li Yuehua slowly put down the bowl and said, "I shouldn't have been angry with my husband yesterday. The family property arrangement should be properly arranged."
