Chapter 103 Building a fief
The insects roar in autumn forever on the autumn night, and the trees fall in the mountains in autumn.
The autumn night in August is getting cooler, and Yangjiaping, located in the branch of the Qinling Mountains, seems even more cold and silent.
In Yangjiaping Yang Mansion, Yang Fan and others sat around the table and ate hot hot pot. They drank a sip of wine from time to time, which made them feel very comfortable.
These people are old and young, talking and laughing, and eating and drinking with pleasure.
If you are a servant in the mansion, you will know the easy-goingness of your son.
Although these behaviors seem a bit casual, everyone really respects Yang Fan.
This kind of respect is not because Yang Fan is the title of Zhongyi Bo from the imperial court, but because of Yang Fan's ability and every move he usually makes.
So everyone respected it from the bottom of their hearts.
They all understand the temperament of their sons, so they get along with each other in private, eat and drink as much as they should. They don’t feel disgusted, but instead chat and laugh like friends.
The master, the servant and the guards were eating together. This was simply unimaginable in any ancient mansion, but it was very common in the Yang Mansion.
Yang Laifu picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and sighed with satisfaction. At this time, he was already red and thought he was a little drunk.
Yang Fan, who had already eaten almost the same food, put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Does Uncle Fu have any worries?"
Yang Laifu was slightly stunned, and soon reacted and laughed: "There is no worries now. I am so moved. I think the mansion was almost out of trouble. After the young master recovered from his illness, his life will gradually become more and more abundant."
"Now I have been promoted one after another, and I am about to become the prince consort. I am really the ancestors who protect the family. Even if I die immediately, I will be worthy of the master who is in the Nine Springs."
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but Yang Fan was a little depressed. This Li Shimin is so fucked, he is simply the boss of the villain.
I used to take 50% of the shares for nothing, but now I blatantly ask to borrow 30% again. What's the difference between this and forcing a robbery?
Yang Fan was so angry that he thought of the servants from the mansion coming to report from Chang'an City just now.
But the strong dragon does not defeat the local snake, and it can only be regarded as a small snake at most, and it cannot even be called a dragon. Of course, it does not dare to openly resist Li Shimin's Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Is her daughter so expensive? The profit from so many shares is enough to buy thousands or tens of thousands of women.
However, when he thought of what Cheng Yaojin brought, he certainly knew what Li Shimin thought.
As long as it is not used for a luxurious life like eating, drinking and having fun, it doesn't matter if Yang Fan makes some money.
Although the money you have not been spent now, if it is only used for daily expenses, it will never be spent in your entire life.
What Yang Fan lacked was not these copper coins, but gold. However, the production of precious metals at this time was small, so he had no choice.
Besides, he knew that if he had too much money in his house, it might not be a good thing sometimes, especially in this feudal society where the laws were not sound.
The consequences of the wealthy people like Fan Li and Chen Wansan are all bloody lessons. I have seen a lot of them online in my previous life.
In feudal society, too much money is not all a benefit. You must have the ability to keep money, otherwise it will cause trouble.
This is also why Yang Fan gave half of the money to Li Shimin after the auction. Although he was under the banner of disaster relief, he also had the idea of losing money and avoiding disasters.
Although Li Shimin is so virtuous that he likes to grab everything, he cannot deny that he is an ideal and ambitious king.
Since Li Shimin intends to expand his great achievements and reflect his civil and military achievements, as a Chinese, what's wrong with helping him?
Perhaps because of my arrival, I can see the glorious Heavenly Kingdom standing on the top of this world as soon as possible.
Although Yang Fan had less money, the benefits were quite good. At least in the eyes of people in this era, this is an honor that cannot be bought even if you spend money.
He was promised to marry a princess as a senior official of the fourth rank, and Li Shimin personally renamed Yang Jiaping and promised to arrange officials by himself...
In the eyes of the ancients, all this was a favorite minister.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan felt much better and smiled slightly, "Uncle Fu was in his prime, and it was too unlucky to say that he would die if he died. Come on..., everyone raises a glass to drink together."
Everyone laughed and raised their heads and drank them all.
After putting down the wine glass, Xue Rengui was quite moved and pointed to the boys next to him and said, "Young Master Rende, no one knows the people of Chang'an City, and no one knows it? Take these kids for example. In the past, no one of these half-sized guys could only eat half full, and many of them were hungry. Now they are full every meal and have meat. How could they ever imagine that there would be such a day?"
"Even someone had a meal before, I couldn't afford to treat my wife's illness. If I hadn't met the young master, I wouldn't know what to do! Now, eating meat every meal has increased by at least 30%." After saying that, he slapped his chest with a thump.
Wang Xuance also exclaimed: "It's not that other mansions do not care about their servants, but looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, they are more friendly and kind than our young masters. Don't say that they have never seen them, Xuance has never even heard of them. He remembers the young master's life in his heart!"
"I don't thank you for your kindness. If there is something wrong with the mansion, even if we sacrifice our lives, we will never frown. If this year is not good, no household will be prone to natural disasters or man-made disasters. Only our young master has a flexible mind and can get a lot of investment by just taking action. Otherwise, there will be so many mouths waiting for dinner, and the average mansion can withstand it."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think of their past and sighed.
Seeing everyone's feelings, Yang Fan suddenly felt passionate and said confidently: "This is just the beginning. The days ahead are still long. I believe they will get better and better. I don't lie. When it comes to making money, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty has no match for me."
"But if you make too much money, it is easy to make people jealous. Everyone needs to work together to keep our job so that everyone can have a good life. Now someone is trusted by His Majesty and is about to enter the court to become an official, but someone cannot just leave it alone. Someone is not the kind of person who can only share the joys and sorrows but not the wealth. Today, I call everyone here, in addition to drinking and chatting, it is also to give everyone a good way out."
After listening to it, everyone was amazed, and then they were full of expectations. Who wouldn’t want to shine in this era?
In the look of everyone's expectation, Yang Fan said, "Although Yang Jiaping looks very popular, there are many problems through his observation today, and this is also the reason for asking everyone for help."
Speaking of this, Yang Fan stopped and glanced across their faces.
These people are all the mainstays of Yang Jiaping. Except for Yang Laifu, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui, the rest are the captains of the guard team.
Yang Fan's face became serious and he slowly spoke:
"Now I have made a few requests, and I hope everyone will work together to build Yangjiaping better and better..."
"First, Yang Jiaping was given the name by His Majesty. From now on, Yang Jiaping changed its name to Junyangfang, but it is still a private fief. Because the number of people in Junyangfang is nearly 10,000, it has reached the standard of the county. Now His Majesty promises to arrange personnel to manage themselves, and give them the treatment of eighth-rank officials in the court, and the official is under the Wannian County."
"Secondly, Wang Xuance will be responsible for various affairs in Junyangfang in the future, and the eighth-rank master will be appointed as the eighth-rank master; the guard will be responsible for Xue Rengui, and the eighth-rank Xuanjie deputy lieutenant. The workers in the workshop will be screened again, and the guard will be subject to the elimination system."
"Third, the Junyangfang reorganized the card in each household, with a name engraved on it, and the population is on it. In addition, when going out, you must indicate where you are going. If you come, check where you are from. If you are suspicious, it is not allowed to be retained unless you check it in a cross-examination. Ten households have one card head, ten cards have one armor head, ten cards have one security chief, one household is in trouble, nine households have support, one household is in losses, and nine households have to take charge of each household."
"Fourth, the entrance of Junyangfang and the streets will be guarded and patroled for twenty hours starting tomorrow, and inspected people and goods passing by."
