When Yang Chengzu went out, Concubine Jiang ordered people to remove the curtain cage, shook her head and said: "Xiuchang, this girl is really, I don't know what the hell she is doing, she insists on letting Yang Chengzu go to the countryside to collect rent.
In the top novel, the safety of the palace is inseparable.
Why bother sending people to collect rent?
Is it true that the family cannot survive without the rent?"
The biggest source of income for clan kings is land income, that is, land rent.
Of course, they were also running businesses in the feudal territory, but they had to rely on others to do this, and they couldn't do it themselves.
The clan is not allowed to communicate with the four people.
If the feudal king goes out to do business on his own, he will be impeached, so he can only entrust white gloves to do it.
But at this time, people are still based on agriculture.
No matter how big the business is, only if they have land can they be regarded as a family with permanent property, and they can be considered a gentry class.
Prince Xing was the son of Xianzong, the brother of Xiaozong, and the emperor's uncle of Zhengde.
Among the clan members, he was considered to be the vassal vassal that was closer to the emperor, and he received more favors.
In addition to more than 3,000 hectares of official land as grain income, there are also more than 2,000 hectares of private land to support the royal palace's expenses.
The clan's 10,000 shi of Lumi is not enough to meet the expenses of such a large palace.
If you really expect this Lumi to make a living, even if you don't take into account factors such as big and small fights, embezzlement and other factors, the palace will starve to death.
The three thousand hectares of official land were managed by the imperial court.
The government collected the rent and then forwarded it to Prince Xing's palace.
The annual grain income from three thousand hectares of land is only more than 6,000 taels, and there is not much money.
The real bulk is still in private fields.
The royal family's private land was purchased or cultivated by the royal family with money, and taxes were required to be paid to the court as usual.
However, the royal family can also find ways to evade taxes, and its annual income exceeds one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Coupled with the shops, businesses, etc. opened by the prince in the city, these incomes combined can support the many mouths of the prince and ensure that the prince's family and close clans live a superior life.
These farms were managed by their owners, who paid annual rent to the prince.
Speaking of which, it is actually a tax package in a sense.
The head of the village only needs to pay enough rent to the palace.
As for how much rent he collects from the ordinary tenants in the village, he makes the decision himself, and the palace does not ask.
In the past, rent payments at these farms had always been smooth and there had never been any problems.
Most of the problems this time were related to the heir apparent's accession to the title.
Yang Chengzu was very happy about this job.
At this time, if he went to collect the rent, Zhizhou Yamen would not be able to find him, and it would be much easier for him to do things.
The princess sent the errand at the right time, and he took it seriously.
He came to Lu Bing and asked about the situation.
Although Lu Bing was still young, he did know a little about the matter.
"Those village heads are bastards.
They thought that if the imperial court's plan to cut down vassal vassals and eliminate the country was true, then they could rely on the rent."
If you can, you can delay it.
After all, the part that you neglect will belong to you.
Besides, the princess is a generous person.
Taoist, as long as they come to ask for relief, most of them will accept this and often refuse to pay.
If someone from the palace comes to collect it, the good ones will cry to the sky and wipe their eyes, saying how they can't survive.
If I continue to force me, I will have to fight to the death if I encounter someone who is unreasonable, and I will even beat them.”
"If you beat someone for not paying rent, then the yamen doesn't care?"
"This is the palace's business.
How can the Yamen take care of it?
Even if it does, it is probably to help those village leaders, saying that the palace cannot exploit the people and abuse the people.

You know, some people now encounter conflicts between the government and the people, and they must be I want to speak for the people.”
"Then I understand, but it's really weird where Zhuangtou counts the people."
Yang Chengzu muttered, and then ordered: "Select 200 people from our Yiwei Department, follow me to the countryside, and tell everyone Put away your armor and weapons, Show some dignity and don't embarrass the team.
This time the job is done.
Everyone will be rewarded with plenty of food and wine.
When we get to the countryside, I will hit you and I will hit you.
Arrest anyone who doesn’t obey orders, and those who don’t obey orders will be subject to military law.”
There were about 700 people left in the Ceremony Department, so it was easy to select 200 people.
In the ceremonial office, armors and weapons were collected and they were ready for a fight.
The Department of Ceremony and Guards is originally a facade force, and the armor and weapons are all very distinctive.
Wearing mandarin ducks and armors, coupled with the neat queue and the loud "Three Kingdoms Warriors", the spirit of the entire team is quite clear. good.
Among the more than 100 people in the Yang family, more than 60 people followed the team and were used as the core force in Yang Chengzu's hands.
Their armor and equipment are similar to those of the Yiwei Division, but the spiritual temperament revealed by the entire army is very different from that of the Yiwei Division.
They had killed people in Evil Tiger Village and were stained with blood.
They were also trained rigorously on weekdays and acted with a certain murderous intent.
In addition to these people, there were also several accountants from the palace and an ambassador from the warehouse.
They carry their account books with them, making it easier to settle accounts there.
In addition to these people, Yang Chengzu discovered that there was another new face in the team.
He was a half-year-old boy who was a year or two older than Lu Bing.
According to the rules of the fifteenth salute, he was not yet a man.
His body was very thin, and he didn't seem to be in very good shape, and his expression was a bit nervous.
After the troops left the palace, he couldn't help but look back.
His expression was one of fear and excitement, which made people look a little strange.
"Who is this?"
He pointed at the half-grown child and asked, "Who brought this?
Please tell me a name."
Lu Bing hurriedly came over and said: "Brother, this is a relative of my younger brother, named Jiang Dalang.
He is still young.
He only studies on weekdays and rarely goes out to play.
This time I heard that we are going to the countryside to collect rent, so I wanted to follow the team.
Get up and see the world, brother, please make it easier."
"How can this be a good thing?
It's just going to the countryside, beating people, scaring local gangsters, and then asking them to pay money.
If you don't understand this process, I will take you to find a gang in the city later.
See how they collect money, the methods are the same.
If you really want to broaden your horizons, one day I will take you and Lu Bing to visit the Qinglou in the city, that will be a real eye-opener."
As soon as he said this, Lu Bing's face turned red, and several other officers also laughed.
Jiang Dalang's face turned red at first, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Actually, I think it's quite fun.
If I have the chance, I really want to try it."
Along the way, Jiang Dalang didn't speak much, but he was always listening and observing quietly.
The march of the troops and the military song about the brave generals of the Three Kingdoms all attracted a lot of interest.
When he heard Yang Chengzu instructing the soldiers, "The Xingwang Mansion needs everyone to perform their duties faithfully," his eyes gradually brightened.
The brigade left the city and was almost at the edge of Prince Xing's farm.
Jiang Dalang suddenly asked: "Yang Yizheng, what are you going to do when you get there?"
