The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54 The prince has no money either

"Your Highness is mighty."

"Your Highness is doing well."

"Your Highness makes decisions for the people."

After the two scoundrels and the four servants were escorted away by the palace guards, the people in the audience cheered and cheered loudly. For a moment, there was thunderous applause. This made our young slave Highness's little breasts so firm. Standing tall and enjoying the cheers of the people, Li Zhi was particularly happy.

So much so that Li Zhi suddenly went crazy and shouted directly: "Dear fellow villagers and people of the Tang Dynasty, please remember, if you encounter such a thing again in the future, come to me, and I will definitely make the decision for everyone."

"Wow!" As soon as these words came out, there was another round of applause.

However, Li An knew that such a promise would be very troublesome. What to do if someone really comes looking for him in the future, so Li An quickly came to Li Zhi and reminded him: "Your Majesty's words..."

When Li An said this, Li Zhi recovered from his previous vanity, nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, to all the fellow villagers and citizens of the Tang Dynasty. This rock candy in my house is not only We said yes to it ourselves, and His Majesty also said yes even after eating it. Not only did he say yes, he also gave us four words!"

Li Zhi waved his hand, and several palace guards came over carrying a plaque with four big characters on it, which was sweet to the heart.

After several guards hung this heart-warming plaque on the door of Li An's shop, I don't know who took the lead in saying hello.

Followed by a group of people shouting "Hello" in unison.

At this time, the fat young man on the second floor of Hu Qin's shop jumped up from his chair and shouted: "Oh no, Li Er also gave me the word. Is this Li An the illegitimate son of Li Er?"

Frowning slightly, the thin young man also stood up and looked at the plaque on the door of Li An's shop and shook his head slightly: "It seems that Li Shimin is the big boss in this rock candy business, Li Zhi, and Li Mingda are all fronts, and Li Shimin is the banker behind the scenes. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have mobilized so much to give a picture.

With these words, no one will dare to touch this store in the future, let alone this Bingtang business. We just want to give up the idea of ​​using others to deal with Bingtang. "

"Then let's go straight to Nonai's house and find a dead man to kill this Li An. There is no evidence. Let's see what Li Er can do to us...!" The fat young man cursed angrily.

"It's not easy to find someone to kill Li An, Zhang An, Zhao An, and An Li Shimin. What we have to deal with is the rock candy business, not a certain person. Do you understand?" The young man hated Tie. He looked at his fat brother indifferently.

But the fat young man shook his head and replied directly: "I don't understand!"

"Ha!" After a bitter look, the thin young man looked at the fat young man and said, "If you don't understand, just don't understand. Just listen to me from now on."

After saying that, the thin young man sighed: "The family will leave this matter to us. If we can't get a good result, our whole house will be ruined."

"Haha. Okay, okay. Thank you everyone, thank you for your support. Today, I am the king. I will reduce the rock candy in the audience by half, fifty cents and one tael. I will only sell today's amount, and it will be gone when it is sold out. If you like it, , come and buy it."

Li Zhi watched everyone applauding the plaque, and he went crazy again. He directly discounted the rock candy for one hundred yuan and one tael at [-]% off. This directly aroused the desire of all the people around him to buy it. His Majesty personally gave it to him. The rock candy that enters my heart, I ate the rock candy that can cure diseases. Today I did an event and got [-]% off and [-]% off rock candy. Such a low price, it is a waste.

Anyone who doesn't rush is a fool. In an instant, more people gathered around, all wanting to buy rock candy. Some people weighed ten pounds as soon as they opened their mouths. Damn it, this is the rhythm of wool.

Of course you can't buy ten or fifty kilograms like this, because there aren't that many, so Li An immediately implemented purchase restrictions. One person can only buy half a kilogram, but the price is not very good, 250 Wen.But the buying craze this time was very strong. Since today was the first day of business, Li An prepared a thousand kilograms of rock sugar, and all the one thousand kilograms of rock sugar were sold out, and he received [-] yuan. However, after the sale, our Li Zhi was scolded miserably.

Of course it was not Li An who scolded him, it was Li Mingda who scolded Li Zhi.

"Brother Li has already given a [-]% discount. Why do you want to give a [-]% discount again? With such a casual [-]% discount, our store has lost [-] yuan, a full half-year's salary. Li Zhi, you are really so generous. .”

Li Mingda hated his ninth brother and scolded him.

Li Zhi was also regretful at this time. He didn't know it, but he was shocked. He originally thought that fifty kilograms was cheap, but after one thousand kilograms were sold out, he realized that five hundred kilograms were missing. To be honest, He himself felt very distressed. After all, his annual salary as a prince was only a thousand dollars, which was still a lot of things, including rewards, all added up.

Here I will tell you about the salaries of officials in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, officials of the first rank, such as princes, grand masters, and Situ, were treated with an annual salary of [-] shi and [-] positions. Hectares, sixty hectares of Yongyetian.!

The job title field is given to you when you are in your position and will be taken back when you are fired or retired. The yongye field is given to you when you sit in a certain position and will not be taken back, but it cannot be bought or sold at will.

Employees of the first rank, such as the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, the Prince's Protector, and the Duke of the State, have an annual salary of [-] dan, twelve hectares of official land, and fifty hectares of permanent industry land.

According to this calculation, Li Zhi can get one thousand dan of food a year. For an ordinary family, one thousand dan is considered a wealthy person. However, Li Zhi is a prince, and one thousand dan of food is not much money.

Let’s talk about how much a thousand stone meters is.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the common currency was 1000 copper coins, which could buy 200 buckets of rice. Ten buckets of rice were equivalent to one stone, so the common currency could buy [-] buckets of rice.

One thousand shi of rice is only fifty guan. Although one thousand shi of rice seems to be a lot, the real price is only [-] guan.

Some people may say, aren’t there still fields?
There were fields, with a total of 75 hectares. It was stipulated at that time that "fields are measured in steps, one step wide, 240 steps long is an mu, and 1 acres is an hectare." It can be seen that 544 mu at that time was roughly equivalent to [-] square meters today.

75 hectares means [-] acres of field, which seems like a lot. However, during the Tang Dynasty, "New Book of Tang·Shi Huo Zhi" said: "The field is determined by the height, fertility, infertility, and abundance. One hectare produces five meters of rice." More than ten husks of dendrobium.”

Based on this calculation, the yield of rice per mu is more than five buckets.Based on the calculation of [-]% of the rice, the amount of grain produced per mu is between seven and eight bushels.

Li Zhi charged his tenants [-]% of the rent for an acre of five bushels of rice, so one acre of land was rented for one bushel of rice, and [-] acres was [-] bushels of rice. This was still a year of great disaster. , if there is a big disaster year or a minor disaster, such rent will not be collected.

So let’s calculate it as seven thousand buckets, which is considered high.

Two hundred dou of rice is one guan of money, two thousand dou of rice is ten guan of money, six thousand dou of rice is 35 guan of money, plus one thousand dou of five guan of money, the money Li Zhi can get from the fields in one year is [-] guan of money.

In other words, Li Zhi's annual salary as a prince is 85 guan. In fact, most of Li Zhi's salary of [-] guan is the monthly money from the palace, which was awarded by Li Shimin. Otherwise, the prince and princess would have to rely on their own money. It's really impossible to live on a salary.

Of course, many princes are not short of money. Li Tai, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Min, and Li You are not short of money. Why? That is because they have opened a mansion and have their own team, and their team will give them money. They get money from businessmen, so they are much richer than Li Zhi and Li Mingda.
