Chapter 108 Fiefdom

"Young master, don't do this, let me put my little kite sister..." Mengyu hurriedly pulled a dozen other little maids to kneel down and begged Tang Xiao for love.

"Hahahaha..." Tang Xiao opened his bloody mouth and leaned towards Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan was so scared that he cried loudly, and struggled desperately in Tang Xiao's arms.

Tang Xiao frowned and just made a joke. As for being so scared? After shaking his head, Tang Xiao let go of her and stood up from the recliner.

The other little maids held the pale face of paper together, and looked at Tang Xiao, who was walking away with his hands behind his back.

Tang Xiao took a few steps, then turned around and reached out to call Mengyu over. After Mengyu came over, Tang Xiao attached himself to her ear and asked her quietly: "What kind of maid is Zhiyuan in the mansion?"

"Young Master, Zhiyuan is a third-class girl." Mengyu replied in a low voice.

"Put her as a second-class maid. I just joked a little and scared her." Tang Xiao was a killer for life, and he had only iron blood and no tenderness. This time, he came back from the military training outside for a lifetime and felt the warmth of home. He rarely wanted to be humorous, but a joke scared a group of little girls to death. This was really not his original intention.

"Thank you, Young Master, I knew you were just joking with Zhiyuan." Mengyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her heart finally let go. But she thought to herself, are you kidding like this young master? I wonder if it would be scary?

...

"Young Master, you have actually reached the fifth level of the human Yuan level!?" Mu Cang was shocked by Tang Xiao now, in addition to being shocked.

Mu Cang didn't know that with his current sixth-level human Yuan level, if he faced Tang Xiao head-on, his winning rate would be less than half. The personal bodyguard assigned by the Marquis of Zhenguo personally lost the meaning of a personal bodyguard in less than a year.

The master and servant were talking when the inside and outside the Zhenguo Mansion suddenly became lively. It was Emperor Zhu Xi who learned from Princess Yitai and Princess Yilan that she was rescued by Tang Xiao, and Fang Ji and Cai Heng said that Cai Heng specially sent someone to reward Tang Xiao for his merit.

Mrs. Xingdu personally brought the members of the Hou Mansion to meet the foyer of the Hou Mansion together to give orders.

"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered that this time, Tang Xiao rescued the princess, and killed the princess of the sea clan, Maximilan and countless rebels, and made great contributions to suppress the rebellion. He specially granted Tang Xiao the title of the baron of the Daming Dynasty, and granted 100 hectares of fertile land, 100 taels of gold, 100 silk and 100 households... In addition, the wife of Xingdu was good at teaching her children, and gave her a special gift of 100 silver and 100 silk and 100 pieces of silk and 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of 100 pieces of

"I'm here!"

"Thank you, Lord, Long!"

...

The incident of Tang Xiao and Jinsha fighting life and death in the Yilan City schoolyard also reached the ears of the Human Emperor, including the incident of Jinlong, the Shalan Sect and his wife intercepting Tang Xiao on the road behind, which made Long Yan furious. He also sent strong men from the Forbidden City to meet the leader of the Shalan Sect, asking him to restrain his subordinates and prevent Jinlong and Zhou Qiao from leaving the sect to seek revenge again. If he found that Shalan Sect dared to deal with the Tang family privately and dealt with rebellion, the court would definitely send 100,000 elite troops to flatten the entire Shalan Sect.

Even though there are many masters in the sect of Shalan, compared to the Daming court, it is like an ant and an elephant. The Sect Master of Shalan Sect considers the future of the sect with more than 2,000 people, of course he has to suppress this matter and limit the actions of Jin Long and Zhou Qiao to avoid causing disasters to destroy the sect. Of course, Jin Sha takes the initiative to provoke and propose a life-and-death battle first. In the view of the Sect Master of Shalan, it is not reasonable for Jin Long and his wife to go out to seek revenge on Tang Xiao. The Emperor even sent a special envoy. The Sect Master of Shalan Sect had no choice but to obey one way.

...

"Xiao'er is promising. She was named the baron of the Daming Dynasty under the age of sixteen, and let Wei's mother be with her. "Mrs. Xingdu forced her to hug Tang Xiao, who was more than ten centimeters taller than her, and kissed him again and again on his face, with a proud look on his face.

"Haha, what is the baron? The child will be granted a marquis in the future and let one family and two marquises in the Tang family! At that time, the mother will be even more glorious!" Tang Xiao forced himself to break free from Mrs. Xingdu's arms. He was also extremely proud at this moment, but she felt a little strange when she was held and kissed by Mrs. Xingdu like this.

"Oh... Before I knew it, my Xiao'er grew so big, taller than me, and her figure was almost the same as that of the Marquis." Mrs. Xingdu seemed to realize something, and stood on tiptoe and reached out to hold Tang Xiao's face.

I remember last year, he was still thin and small. When he was holding him, he looked like a child acting coquettish, but this year he has been reborn and has completely grown into a real man.

"Mother." Tang Xiao felt the maternal love of Mrs. Xingdu, and gently reached out and hugged Mrs. Xingdu into her arms. From the previous life to this life, the woman in her arms was the only person who made him truly feel the affection. He vowed to become strong as soon as possible, protect her, and never let her suffer any harm.

Mrs. Xingdu raised her head, looked at Tang Xiao's handsome and determined face, felt his powerful arms, and became more and more proud in her heart. Even if a woman is weak, she can give birth to such a powerful man and witness with her own eyes the man has gone step by step from birth to a domineering power. This will indeed make people feel inexplicably accomplished.

...

After the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites completed the relevant procedures, Tang Xiao and Mu Cang came to his fiefdom for inspection.

The hundred households that Emperor Zhu Xi granted to Tang Xiao were in Huwei Village, Tanshui Town outside the west gate of Taijing. Huwei Village built a sea level with gravel and was named as a place for fishers to catch fish. The village was at its tail. There were a total of 118 households in Huwei Village, which were originally under the jurisdiction of Danshui Town. Now the entire village and the surrounding fertile land were directly transferred to Tang Xiao, and the taxes were also formulated by Tang Xiao. Of course, most of these 118 households were fishermen and did not rely entirely on these 1,000 acres of fertile land for a living.

Huwei Village is located very well, close to the Tamsui River, which is the third largest river on Obi Island. It originates from Pintian Mountain at the northern end of the Central Mountains. It walks through the two major tributaries of Dahan River, Xindian River and Keelung River, winding through Taijing City and flows westward from Huwei Village into the sea.

It is very convenient to transport supplies from Taijing City to get here, and you can go down the road. Of course, some specialties in the village are also easy to bring back to Taijing City. The entire Huwei Village is full of coconut trees, and the land is very fertile and the fishery is developed. Therefore, it is relatively rich here, but it receives a lot of taxes and silver. Today's emperor Zhu Xi sincerely rewards Tang Xiao and does not fool him.

"The Zhenguo Hou Mansion has more than 500 such farms on Aubi Island. One farm earns 70,000 or 80,000 taels every year." Mu Cang took Tang Xiao around his fiefdom for a long time and talked to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder he raised so many people in the mansion, so he didn't seem to be nervous. I guess the father who had not met had a business with more than 500 farms? Originally, Tang Xiao was still very excited after having a fiefdom. After Mu Cang said this, he found that he was far inferior to the Marquis of Zhenguo, and was immediately hit. Speaking of tax silver, Tang Xiao's fiefdom should be able to collect more than 200 taels of silver every year, which is considered good, but for Tang Xiao, who spent a lot of money on practicing qigong, 200 taels of silver is better than nothing.

Unless you have more and larger fiefs in the future, there is no need to focus on this and temporarily throw it to Mu Cang.

The main source of income for the princes and nobles in Taijing is also the annual taxes of these fishing villages and manors. Otherwise, relying solely on the salary given by the emperor, the marquis' mansions will go bankrupt one by one. The rules on the Daming Dynasty's clear dynasty, princes and nobles cannot go on business, and some large chambers of commerce organizations belong to the official ownership of the Daming Dynasty.

Zhu Kun, the father of Tang Xiao’s best friend Zhu Gan, was a typical official and businessman. Although he only managed commercial money for the Daming Dynasty, the private economy was very rich, just like the current Sinopec. The Zhu family’s business was spread throughout the Aobi Island, but it was mainly concentrated in Taoyuan City, where Tang Yuan garrisoned the troops, so there must be some stories that have to be told between Zhu Kun and Tang Yuan.
