Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 56 Fang Zhizhou's Worries
When Qin Shao proposed to Lu Lianxian that he wanted to use Wang Yin, Lu Lianxian couldn't think of who Wang Yin was at all.

After all, he is a county magistrate, and Wang Yin is just an exile.

After Qin Shao's explanation, Lu Lianxian knew who this person was.

He knew that Wang Yin was selected by Qin Shao from the prison, and he heard that Wang Yin saved Qin Shao that day in Baocheng.

It is estimated that this person wanted to thank Wang Yin for his kindness.

Lu Lianxian couldn't hold back his old face, Qin Shao also saved his life, and he paid 30 taels of silver for it, and gave his credit to others.

Isn't this a slap in the face?
However, Wang Yin is basically a dispensable figure to Lu Lianxian and the county government, and he still has to take care of food and drink, so it would be best for Qin Shao to take him away.

As soon as Qin Shao mentioned it, he immediately agreed!
Whether he belongs to Wang Yin or Li Yin, Lu Lianxian doesn't care at all, he just wants to tell Fang Zhizhou quickly about the strange problem that Qin Shao is too similar to that person.

……

"What? You said that man is very similar to the prince?"

Fang Fang asked in surprise.

"Yes, my lord, it's just like a painting, but the prince is more stable, that person is still a young man under 20 years old. You said earlier that you intended to recruit, but I saw his appearance, so I didn't mention the matter of recruiting."

Reported by Lu Lian.

It was actually less than five months since Lu Lian came to Jingshan.

When I first arrived, I encountered all kinds of panic situations, and rushed the ducks to the shelves.

Of course, I also visited various docks, such as the state capital.

Fang Xiang had social relations with Lu Lianxian's old father-in-law, and he was also considered his supporter, so he naturally met him as soon as he came.

As for King Xing, he sent a letter of worship, and the prince was busy, so Yuan Zonggao, the chief of the palace, received him.

Therefore, although Lu Lianxian has heard of King Xing's name, he has never seen what King Xing looks like in the past few months.

This time Anlu Prefecture succeeded in protecting the city, King Xing held a celebration banquet and invited everyone to the banquet, so he was able to meet King Xing.

At that time, I only felt that King Xing's face was familiar, as if I had seen him there!
He also told Lu Zhubo, and Lu Zhubo said that he might have a deep relationship with the prince, after all, he felt familiar when they met for the first time.

Seeing Qin Shao, Fang felt what was going on.

Although Xiang Xiang also met Qin Shao that day, it was only at night, although the lights were bright under the torches, but the scene was chaotic, he only knew that there was this person, and he didn't pay attention to his appearance at all.

He was surprised after hearing Lu Lianxian's report.

During the banquet, Lu Lianxian once sat beside him and whispered that he seemed to have seen the prince.

At that time, Fang Xiang only thought it was flattering words.

I lamented that my old friend, the son-in-law of a warrior, seemed rude, but flattered me smoothly, I didn't expect that what he said turned out to be the truth.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. I heard that there are people who don't know blood and are very similar. It's just very rare. I haven't seen it. It turns out that there are still some. I'll take a look at it when I'm free some other day." I can't imagine what it's like!"

Xiang Xiang exclaimed, but he still felt that it was just a similarity, Lu Lianxian might have exaggerated a bit.

He didn't take this matter to heart.

However, the direction has put down the intention of soliciting.

Not to mention very similar, even if they are somewhat similar, he can't keep it by his side as a guard.

He is not so courageous to ask someone similar to the prince to be his guard.

Although he gave up the solicitation, because Qin Shao saved himself, Xiang Xiang personally sent Qin Shao 50 taels of silver as a reward.

A life is only worth 50 taels of silver, although Qin Shao thought it was too little, he readily accepted it.

For a subordinate of a different level, no matter how much kindness he has towards him, it is only a small reward from the standpoint of the superior.

In Fang Fang's eyes, Qin Shao is just a white servant, 50 taels is a sky-high price for him!
That relative went back with him, Xiang Xiang asked him how Qin Shao looked like.

The entourage said that he looked very energetic and upright as a young man, Xiang Xiang remembered that this entourage had never met Prince Xing, and felt a little sad for his negligence.

But thinking about it, he is just an ordinary young man with a white body. He heard that he still needs to study, that is, he has to take the imperial examination. Think about his hard road to the imperial examination. Ten thousand people cross the single-plank bridge, and many people fall into the water.

This Qin Shao is nearly 20 years old, and he has not yet passed the third pass (you must pass the county test, the government test and the hospital test to become a scholar). When he was 16 years old, he had already become a scholar.

This young man's aptitude is average, a martial arts practitioner has well-developed limbs and a simple mind, so he is not worthy of his concern, so he forgets about him.

Qin Shao accepted the 50 taels of silver with peace of mind, plus the previous 30 taels, basically the amount of silver to buy a field was almost the same.

Wang Yin also wanted to hand over his 2 taels of silver, feeling ashamed to eat and drink for nothing at home.

Qin Shao refused, saying that there are still many things to do in the future, and let him keep it by his side as a backup.

Wang Yin insisted that Qin Shao considered his face and self-esteem, so Han Jinrong accepted half of it.

Next is to look at the fields.

After famines and wars, many fields were barren.

And many people died of starvation and were injured during the war.

Although the situation in Anlu Prefecture is better, there will not be a large number of people starving to death, but the impact of refugees and the reduction in food production have caused serious family changes for many people.

Some families have lost their main labor force, have no food to eat at home, and have no money to buy seeds for farming. As long as you have land, you have to pay agricultural taxes, regardless of whether you harvest or not.

There is no way, many people start to pawn the fields.

Even though when Lao Zhu founded the country, he hoped that farmers would cultivate the land well. In order to avoid the problem of land annexation, the sale of land was prohibited.

But by this period, many things have changed, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

In particular, some dignitaries and officials took the lead in buying and merging land, which became a kind of acquiescence.

Qin Shao watched the TV series about Daming, and the family of Xu Jie, the cabinet minister in Jiajing, occupied more than 20 mu of land!
What is the concept of more than 20 mu?
Moreover, their home was occupied, not bought. Later, there was a dispute about buying or occupying, saying that half of the land was bought by Xu Jie's son, and it was a shame to be forced to return it!
This at least shows that the land purchased is legal!
As long as I work hard, make more money and buy more land, maybe I will become a big landlord in the future!
Qin Shao thought happily.

Originally, I thought about buying 20 mu of land, but it turned out that the price was cheap, so I bought 30 mu of land directly.

15 acres of paddy fields and 15 acres of dry fields cost a total of 130 taels.

"Mr. Qin, do you want to farm this land yourself or do you want to rent it out to others? If you want to rent it out, there are tenant farmers who can be contacted by my mother-in-law. This matter can be contracted to my mother-in-law. I will guarantee a good price for you!"

Mrs. Xu said enthusiastically.

It seems that this dental shop is doing all kinds of business, and it is really blooming everywhere.

"I might have to grow it myself!"

Qin Shao said with a smile that he hadn't actually figured out how to plan these fields.

"Look at you, you are a scholar. If you can't farm, it's all dirty work. If you want to farm, you need helpers or something, and your wife can help."

This prostitute Xu is really bright and shrewd, no wonder she is the major shareholder of the dental firm.

"Thank you ma'am, I will contact you if necessary."

"Then you have to hurry up. The new season's rice should be transplanted and planted. You have to prepare in advance. Planting this season will pay for the agricultural tax!"

Mistress Xu laughed.

Do you have to pay agricultural tax for farming?
Qin Shao only cares about buying land and realizing his dream of being a small landlord, but he forgot about it!
