The king's mainland talent plunder

Chapter 83 Fief [First update]

Ming Shiyin had enmity with the Heluo Empire, and the Heluo Empire took away Ming Shiyin's Great Wall, and the Great Wall was Ming Shiyin's home.But now you can't tear your face apart, Zheng Qing leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Wu Zetian nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "This is the first time I've come to your house, don't you plan to take me for a stroll?"

"Your Majesty came to the humble house, and the sky of Yao is full of splendor." Zheng Qing then led Wu Zetian for a stroll around Yaotian. Tiger and the others will also sit here and rest.

Zheng Qing pointed to that place and said: "Now the children are studying there. Those homeless children in the past are living a fulfilling and happy life in Yaotian. Many friends play and live with them. .”

Wu Zetian left the entourage behind him and asked them to wait outside, "This is a good place, Yaotian Yaotian, the meaning of prosperity is the same as my goal when I ascended the throne."

"These children are very poor. There is also a little girl who can't eat meat because of illness. Before coming to Yaotian, in order to survive, she had to steal or pick up things that others don't want. If Yaotian didn't care about them, there would be no one. Leave them alone, I'm afraid they will starve to death sooner or later." Having said this, Zheng Qing also sighed.

In contrast, Huaxia has done a better job in these aspects. It is rare to see helpless children. If their parents die, at least the government will take care of them, and the society will help them.

Wu Zetian noticed that Shangguan Wan'er was teaching the children with her back turned to her, so she said, "Hey, that teacher who is teaching the class, this back looks quite familiar."

"Ah, she joined Yaotian a few days ago, her name is Shangguan Wan'er." Zheng Qing introduced.

"Shangguan Wan'er? Why did she come to you?"

"Your Majesty, do you know her?"

Wu Zetian said casually: "She used to be a servant in charge of the library in my palace, and then she said that she would record life in the city and leave the palace for me, so she didn't expect to come to you. That's fine, I can rest assured that you will take care of her." For one thing, she can also record the lives of the children."

"So it's someone from the palace." Zheng Qing nodded thoughtfully.It seems that Shangguan Wan'er's decision to be careful at the beginning was correct.

As soon as the people in the palace came out, they came to Yaotian with a clear goal, and made up some lies to join Yaotian. Now the more Zheng Qing looked at her, the more he felt that her purpose was unusual.

"Shangguan Wan'er's talent is quite clear to me. Her calligraphy skills are very good, her brush and ink are full of tension, and she is full of demeanor between the lines. Her ancestors worshiped the Taifu, but it is a pity that her grandfather was ransacked because he participated in the prince's conspiracy. She was sent to the palace, and I will hand her over to you from today onwards, you have to take good care of her." Wu Zetian said.

Zheng Qing nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Shangguan Wan'er is with me, no one can bully her."

"I have already sent someone to send over the household registration land, you can go there at any time." Wu Zetian said: "I will not disturb the children's school, and go back to the palace first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, please go slowly."

After seeing off Wu Zetian, Zheng Qing began to calm down and think about Shangguan Wan'er.

Zheng Qing heard from Yi Xing that the crown prince was committing rebellion, and Li Xin was the crown prince's son.At the beginning, Prince Gan rebelled, and Ming Shiyin built an altar to obtain ancient divine power for Prince Gan, but unfortunately failed.

The crown prince was ruined, and all the power and curse of the altar entered Li Xin's body, and then Li Xin was taken away by Ming Shiyin.The rebellion failed, the crown prince was expelled, and the Taifu's home was ransacked, but Zheng Qing didn't expect that Shangguan Wan'er had something to do with this matter.

As soon as she left the palace, she rushed to Yaotian, nine times out of ten, she knew some hidden things from the beginning, and found out that Ming Shiyin had something to do with this matter, and then came to Yaotian to investigate secretly.

After smoothing out Shangguan Wan'er's goal, Zheng Qing also had some confidence in his heart.Ming Shiyin contributed to the rebellion back then, although many people didn't know it.That being the case, Shangguan Wan'er can be temporarily assigned to the hostile camp, and the priority can be lower than that of Di Renjie.

Zheng Qing didn't startle the snake, but under the leadership of an official, he went to his fief with his household registration.

The fief is a county seat. It is located in the suburbs of Chang'an City. The traffic is very convenient. It is also very close to Chang'an City. It is a good place.

The official was originally the county magistrate of this county. He followed Zheng Qing, nodded and bowed and said: "Minghou, according to your majesty's will, from now on our Jiashui County will be your fief, and the hundred acres of fertile land that you will reward All of the hundreds of houses were included in Jiashui County."

At the beginning, Zheng Qing thought that the fiefdom was a large area including a hundred acres of fertile land, but what Zheng Qing didn't expect was that the Empress Wu Zetian had such a big hand, and she directly sealed a county seat to herself, wouldn't that be equivalent to Are you a prince?
Shocked, Zheng Qing asked, "What's your name?"

"Back to the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, the next official is Liu Boyu." Liu Boyu saluted respectfully.

Zheng Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's enough, don't have so many complicated etiquettes, you are still the county magistrate of Jiashui County, and I don't have that much energy to govern the affairs in the territory, and you will handle it entirely."

Liu Boyu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked: "Xie Minghou."

"By the way, County Magistrate Liu, where is the treasury of Jiashui County? Take me there now." Since Jiashui County was entrusted to him, all the financial revenue here is Zheng Qing's money.

"Minghou, please follow me."

Under the leadership of his servants, Zheng Qing soon came to the treasury.On the shelves and in the boxes, there were all gold coins and silver coins, and even jewelry of various colors. Looking at these things in front of him, Zheng Qing couldn't help but swallowed, it was so easy to get rich!
"Minghou, last year's taxes have been sent to the palace except for public expenses." Liu Boyu said: "This year Jiashui County was entrusted to you, so this year's taxes don't need to be sent to the palace."

The population of the Heluo Empire is about 5000 million, and the population of Jiashui County can reach as many as 15, which was considered a standard for a high-class county in ancient times.

After the empress ascended the throne, there were very few exorbitant taxes, so the taxation was relatively close to the people. Liu Boyu said: "The general annual tax revenue of our Jiashui County is about 600 million gold coins. This year has only been more than four months, so there are only Gold and silver treasures worth two million gold coins."

"Annual tax of 600 million gold coins?" Jiashui County has a population of 15, and ideally there can be more than 7 families. That is to say, each family pays about 80 gold coins a year in taxes, and 6 or 7 gold coins per month. , this tax is actually not high.

It's just that a large part of the 600 million gold coins will be used as public expenditures. If Zheng Qing wants to convert them into system gold coins, Jiashui County will have no money to deal with any catastrophe.
