Chapter 35 Build a Zhuangzi from today [two in one](2/2)

Qin Huaiyu has sent me a big favor.

During the Tang Dynasty, the most valuable thing in the aristocratic circle was a BMW.

He bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Fang Chen comes from the mountains and doesn't know etiquette. It's thanks to my aunt who took care of me that I got into the house. I'm very grateful. If anything happens, call me over there. I'll be there when you call me!"

Mrs. Qin hurriedly helped Fang Chen up and wiped away Fang Chen's tears with a smile. This child is really heartbreaking sometimes.

How can the price for such a mature young person be so ordinary?

Unknown to Fang Chen, in an alley a hundred meters away, Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou were there in disguise, secretly watching him.

"Xiao Yu'er, I really want to bring you into the palace and restore you to the position of prince!"

"Xiao Yu'er, don't worry. Soon I will find a way to let you enter the palace. As for restoring your throne, I will find a way!"

The moment he left Duke Yi's Mansion, he couldn't help but look back and remember Duke Yi's Mansion in his mind. The Tang Dynasty was really good!

The Chang'an County Magistrate, leading the county officials, were waiting anxiously at an intersection.

Not long after, a carriage slowly arrived, surrounded by thirty guards and a pony.

This was Fang Chen and his group. When they got close, Fang Chen got off the car.

"Your Majesty, the Magistrate of Chang'an County, Pei Xuanji has met Mr. Fang."

Fang Chen hurriedly returned the gift, "I'm sorry to bother you, Lord County Magistrate. I wonder what you mean by waiting for Fang Chen here?"

This is the magistrate of Chang'an County, and he is a high-ranking official after all. He may have to deal with him more in the future, so Fang Chen will naturally have to be more polite.

Pei Xuanji smiled and said: "The two princes have requested the saint's will. From now on, if Mr. Fang has any needs, he can always approach this county magistrate."

He didn't dare to trust him. This was the person chosen by the saint. Even if he was a little boy, Pei Xuanji had to ensure his etiquette.

Fang Chen nodded quickly and replied, "Thank you, magistrate. You have many things to do, but you still need to take care of your health."

Pei Xuanji stepped aside and said, "Little Fang Master, please!"

Fang Chen didn't understand, but he also knew that he didn't have the ability to make him respect him, so his attitude was still extremely respectful.

With Pei Xuanji leading the way, it took only an hour to reach the land that Fang Chen had obtained.

"I will send Mr. Fang here. Chang'an County is to the east. Mr. Fang can send someone to call me at any time if he needs it."

Fang Chen didn't even dare to say, "I'll give you face to protect you. This is a warning to all the tenants on the roadside. Fang Chen will have a lot of troubles in the future."

"Old Qin, thank you very much. Now that you've arrived, shouldn't you..."

"Puff..."

Just as he was about to let him go back, he saw Lao Qin kneeling down with the thirty guards.

"According to the order of Duke Yi, from now on, I will respect Mr. Fang and ask Mr. Fang to accept us."

"Please also ask Mr. Fang to accept us!"

Fang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, his face was very tangled.

He thought to himself: Winter has come, the land has been acquired, and now even the subordinates have been sent over. After all, I am destined to be a local landlord!

"Okay, you guys get up, but as I said before, I don't have that much money to support you now. I haven't seen this place yet. I really don't know what to do in the future."

Lao Qin and others' smiles did not fade, and they stood up and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, 20% of a thousand acres of land belongs to tenants, 20% belongs to the government, and the rest is yours!"

"Why so much? Not good! Not good!"

Fang Chen shook his head anxiously. Doesn't this force his men to rebel? Two percent? What's enough to eat?

Lao Qin hurriedly grabbed Fang Chen and explained to him, "This is the rule for big families. Don't worry, Mr. Fang. Half a percent is definitely a lot. All tenants live under your hands, so there is no way they will be dissatisfied."

Fang Chen knew that landowner exploitation was serious in ancient times, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

In fact, he was wrong. This price was not set by the landlords. Now that the war has just calmed down, Li Shimin established this rule in order to stabilize the poor and refugees, so that the wealthy families could recruit more refugees.

After years of famine, this rule will be changed.

Do you think it's less? In fact, half of it is definitely a lot, enough for farmers and tenants to fill their bellies. In winter, they still have to rely on wild vegetable roots and bark.

What's more, what is Fang Chen's identity? Ninety percent of his tenants are from the military. How could Li Shimin mistreat his own children?

"Let's take a look around this place first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

Fang Chen couldn't resist, so he could only change the topic.

"yes!"

Twenty people kept company, and the other ten accompanied Liu's mother and daughter to the house to clean up.

This mansion originally belonged to Princess Pingyang, so it was relatively well preserved. Now it was given to Fang Chen without any problems.

Empress Changsun sent nearly a hundred slaves to ensure that her little Yu'er would not suffer much.

Fang Chen thought that those people were originally people close to his mother, so naturally he would not ask more questions.

There is a whole piece of land, totaling 1,000 acres, with an average of one household per ten acres and 120 households of tenant farmers, among whom there are only three elderly people.

"Go and gather everyone together, I have something to say!"

"yes!"

Not long after, all the people from the one hundred and twenty households arrived. Fang Chen took a look and saw that it sounded like a lot, but in fact there were only two or three people in each household.

"Everyone, the person next to me is your future master, Mr. Fang."

As soon as Lao Qin introduced him, everyone in front of him fell to his knees, and Fang Chen jumped up anxiously.

"Hurry up!" "Oh, you are already so old. If you kneel to me, won't you shorten my life?"

"Little kid, get up, the ground is cold!"

"..."

Fang Chen stepped forward to help them up one by one, recognizing their faces, and then said: "I am the owner of this land, but it is only temporary. You are tenants, and to put it bluntly, you are working for me. Please don't leave in the future."

kneel!"

The tenants whispered to each other and thought to themselves: This man, I don’t understand what he is saying!

Lao Qin took a step forward and shouted: "Master Fang said that you are not allowed to kneel down from now on!"

"Benevolence and justice!"

"Little Mr. Fang is so kind and righteous!"

"This new master is really kind..."

Praises came and went, and Fang Chen's face was slightly embarrassed. When everyone calmed down, "From now on, this place is called Xiaofangzhuang. If you have any problems, big or small, you can come to me!"

Fang Chen felt a little confused because he couldn't say anything about mobilization. Today was just a brief acquaintance. It will take a few days before we really want to talk and do things.

After saying that, he left with Lao Qin and the others. This place was not rich. One thousand acres sounded like a lot, but in fact there were only a few hundred usable fertile fields, and the rest were weeds and wasteland.
