Chapter 103 Building a fief

 The insects chirp in the autumn night forever, and the trees fall on all the mountains in autumn.

The autumn night in August has become increasingly cool, and Yangjiaping, located on the branch of the Qinling Mountains, seems even more deserted.

In the Yang Mansion in Yangjiaping, Yang Fan and others sat around the table, eating hot hot pot and taking a sip of wine from time to time, looking extremely comfortable.

These people, old and young, talked and laughed, and ate and drank freely.

If you were a servant in the house, you would know how easy-going your young master is.

Although these actions may seem a bit random, everyone really respects Yang Fan.

This kind of respect is not because Yang Fan is a loyal uncle named by the imperial court, but because of Yang Fan's ability and every move he makes.

So everyone respects him from the bottom of his heart.

They all understand their young master's temperament, so when they get along in private, they eat and drink as they should without feeling awkward, and instead they talk and laugh like friends.

The master, servants, and guards ate together at the same table. This would have been unimaginable in any ancient mansion, but in the Yang Mansion, it was extremely common.

Yang Laifu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and let out a contented sigh. At this time, his face was flushed, and he must have been a bit drunk.

After hearing this, Yang Fan, who had almost eaten, put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is there anything bothering Uncle Fu?"

Yang Laifu was startled for a moment, then quickly realized what he had to worry about now and said with a big smile: "What troubles there are now? This old slave is sighing with emotion. I thought back then, the family was almost in trouble. After the young master recovered from his illness, not only did his life gradually become more comfortable."

"Now that I have been promoted to a higher rank, I am about to become the Prince Consort. It is true that my ancestors have protected me and brought glory to my family. Even if I die soon, I will still be worthy of my master."

It's okay if I don't say it, but it makes Yang Fan a little depressed. This Li Shimin is too special, he is simply the boss of the villain.

Not only did I get 50% of the shares for free, but now I am blatantly borrowing 30% of the shares. What is the difference between this and robbery?

Thinking of the servants coming from Chang'an City to report just now, Yang Fan was so angry that his teeth itched.

But a powerful dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, not to mention that he can only be regarded as a little snake at best, not even a dragon. Of course, he would not dare to openly resist Li Shimin, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Is her daughter so valuable? The profits from so many shares are enough to buy thousands or tens of thousands of women.

But when he thought about what Cheng Yaojin had brought, he certainly knew what Li Shimin was thinking.

As long as it is not used for a luxurious life such as eating, drinking and having fun, it doesn't matter if some money is given to Yang Fan.

Although the money I have now is not inexhaustible, if it is only used for daily expenses, I will not be able to spend it all in a lifetime.

What Yang Fan lacked was not these copper coins, but gold. However, the output of precious metal gold at this time was small, so there was nothing he could do.

What's more, he knows that if he has too much money in his house, sometimes it may not be a good thing, especially in this feudal society where laws are not perfect.

The fate of wealthy people such as Fan Li and Shen Wansan are all bloody lessons, and I have read many of them online in their past lives.

In feudal society, having too much money is not always a benefit. You must have the ability to keep the money, otherwise it will cause disaster.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan gave half of the money to Li Shimin after the auction. Although it was under the banner of disaster relief, it was not with the intention of losing money and avoiding disaster.

Although Li Shimin's moral character was extremely bad and he liked to rob everything, it cannot be denied that he was an ideal and ambitious king.

Since Li Shimin intended to expand his great achievements and embody his civil and military skills, as a Chinese, there was nothing wrong with helping him.

Perhaps because of his arrival, he can see the glorious Celestial Empire standing on top of the world as soon as possible.

Although Yang Fan has less money, there are many benefits. At least in the eyes of people of this era, this is an honor that cannot be bought with money.

He promised to become a fourth-rank official and marry a princess, and Li Shimin personally renamed Yangjiaping and promised to arrange officials on his own...

With all these factors, in the eyes of the ancients, he was considered a proper favored minister.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan felt much better. He smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Fu is in the prime of life. It is really unlucky to say that he will die. Come... Let's raise a glass and drink together."

Everyone laughed, raised their heads and drank the whole drink.

After putting down the wine glass, Xue Rengui was quite impressed. He pointed at the boys next to him and said: "Son, Rende, who among the people in Chang'an City doesn't know? Take these boys for example, these half-grown boys, In the past, many of them could only eat half full, and many were even hungry. Now they are fed every meal and have meat. How could they have dared to imagine such a life?"

"Even Mr. X, there was a time when he didn't even have a meal, and he couldn't even afford the money to treat his wife. If he hadn't met the young master, he wouldn't know what he would have done! Now he eats meat every meal, and X's strength has increased by at least 30%. More than enough." After saying that, he patted his chest.

Wang Xuance also praised: "It's not that other mansions don't cherish their servants, but looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are people who are kinder and kinder than our young master. Don't say that I have never seen them. Xuance has never even heard of them. The young master's survival I will keep all my kindness in my heart!”

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If something happens to the family, even if we risk our lives, we will not hesitate or even frown. Now that the age is not good, every household is not susceptible to natural disasters or man-made disasters. Only Our young master has a smart mind and can make a lot of money with just a few moves. Otherwise, no ordinary mansion can withstand so many mouths waiting for food."

After everyone listened, they couldn't help but think of their past and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing everyone's sentiments, Yang Fan suddenly felt proud and said confidently: "This is just the beginning. The days to come are still long. I believe it will get better and better. I won't lie. When it comes to making money, you can say that Datang There is no one who can compare with me."

"But making a lot of money makes people jealous easily, so we need to work together to keep our jobs, so that everyone can live a good life. Now I have gained His Majesty's trust and is about to join the court as an official, but I can't just be like this

Let everyone ignore it, I am not the kind of person who can only share joys and sorrows but not wealth and wealth. Today, I have called you here not only to drink and chat, but also to give everyone a good way out."

After hearing this, everyone was in awe, and then full of expectations. Who doesn't want to shine in this era?

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Yang Fan said: "Although Yangjiaping seems to be very popular, based on my observation today, there are many problems, which is why I came to see you."

At this point, Yang Fan stopped and glanced at their faces one by one.

These people are considered the mainstay of Yangjiaping. Except for Yang Laifu, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, the rest are all squad captains of the escort team.

Yang Fan's face turned serious and he slowly said:

"Now I am making a few requests. I hope everyone will work together to build Yangjiaping better and better..."

"First, with the name given by His Majesty, Yangjiaping will be renamed Junyangfang from now on, but it will still be used as a private fiefdom. Because the number of people in Junyangfang has reached nearly 10,000, it has reached the standard of a lower county. Now, Your Majesty has given a special permission.

You can arrange your own personnel to manage it, and you can be given the treatment of an eighth-grade imperial official, who belongs to the Wannian County establishment."

"Secondly, from now on, Wang Xuance will be responsible for various affairs in Junyangfang, and will be given the post of eighth-grade master Bo; Xue Rengui will be responsible for the security, and will be given the post of eighth-grade deputy Xuanjie. The workers in the workshop will be re-selected and guarded

Implement a elimination system.”

"Third, the organization of Junyangfang will be reorganized. Each household will have its name and population number engraved on one side of the household registration plate. In addition, when going out, it is necessary to indicate where you are going, and those who come will check their whereabouts to avoid suspicion.

People will not be allowed to stay unless they are verified through interrogation. Ten households will have one card head, ten cards will have one armor head, and ten armors will have one security chief. If one household is in trouble, nine households will support it. If one household is in trouble, nine households will sit together."

"Fourth, the entrance to Junyangfang and the streets will be guarded and patrolled for 20 hours starting from tomorrow, and people and goods passing by will be inspected."
