Xuewa pointed to the people on the dirt fence, "Do you see those people?" They used to be the owners of these lands, but now they are serfs of both of them. ”

Honggu asked in wonder: "Wouldn't you be afraid that these serfs would rebel if you robbed them like this, and took these serfs into your own estate?" ”

Xuewa glanced contemptuously at the people in the dirt enclosure, and sneered: "Ming robbery? Sister, you're wrong! Listening to the elders here, there are indeed people who have been robbed by Ming, but most of those people are also dead! Killed, buried! ”

When Xuewa said this, she became excited, as if she had seen that scene before. Honggu knew that the "old generation" mentioned by Xuewa was referring to the old generation fox demon on Wanquan Mountain.

They have lived in the caves of all sizes on this Wanquan Mountain for many years, witnessing the joys and sorrows that happen on this immortal mountain.

Xuewa calmed down and pointed to the fertile land beside her: "This land is so fertile watered with these flesh and blood on Wanquan Mountain!" The later people were frightened and voluntarily gave up the land so that they could act as stewards and manage the serfs. Among those serfs, there are also different identities, and many of them are actually samurai. ”

Li Taoyao had heard Wei Youqing talk about the Zheng family and the Zhao family Grange before, and now when she heard Xuewa mention it again, she didn't have too much turmoil in her heart. But in her heart, she was worried about another thing:

"The Zheng family and the Zhao family are doing so much evil, raising warriors in the name of serfs, how long can Your Majesty tolerate them now?"

The three of them just pointed at the earth fence and said nonsense, but they didn't want anyone over there to see the three girls earlier.

It's just that they are gorgeously dressed, not like ordinary people, Rao is so, when Xuewa pointed again, "whoosh, whoosh" a few times, and sharp arrows shot out from the earthen fence, and they were about to fall on Xuewa and Honggu.

Xuewa snorted coldly, the horsewhip in her hand flew out, and the sharp arrows that flew out, the long horsewhip raised a cloud-like arc in her hand, and the sharp arrows were thrown back onto the earthen fence, and the person who shot the arrow fell to the ground with a scream.

Honggu didn't expect to be attacked here, she couldn't help but be shocked, she didn't want to cause trouble, and was just about to make a voice for the three of them to turn around, but Li Taoyao heard a familiar and young voice shouting loudly on the soil fence: "Sister Taoyao!" Sister Taoyao! ”

Li Taoyao couldn't help but smile, she followed the prestige, only to see that the door of Tuweizi opened quickly, and sure enough, it was Zheng Bingde who came from the door, followed by the silent Zhao Feifei.

Li Taoyao and the others ran to the front and asked with a smile: "Why did you two brothers get together so coincidentally?" Are you all coming to Zhuangzi today? ”

Zhao Feifei looked at Li Taoyao's expression, and saw that she didn't seem to know that she was delivering the news, and frowned secretly in her heart.

Li Taoyao glanced at Zhao Feifei, pointed to the Zhao family crest inserted on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw this family crest, I knew that it was the Zhuangzi of my cousin's house." ”

She sounded like she was explaining why she knew that this was the Zhao Family Grange, but Zhao Feifei understood the meaning of Li Taoyao's words.

Zhao Feifei replied to Li Taoyao's question casually, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to re-measure the land and reform the tax system, and Ah De and I are here to see how much tax we should pay if we follow Your Majesty's calculation." ”

It is only natural to pay grain and taxes. Therefore, Li Taoyao did not take Zhao Feifei's words to heart, and asked casually: "Is there such a thing?" But they don't know how to measure and what to pay taxes on? ”

Zhao Feifei replied worriedly: "According to the acres of land, also according to the head." The higher the grade, the more taxes you pay, and the same goes for heads. Even the serfs in the grange are considered heads. Coupled with the acres of land, then our family is equivalent to farming for the royal family, and we can't leave anything behind. ”

Li Taoyao looked at the endless farmland in front of her, she couldn't figure out the accounts on these silver coins, but Li Taoyao understood his words, and then there was a serf from Xuewa just now, and said euphemistically:

"My cousin's family has a lot of land, and Dona should also be used for food. By the head...... Why did my cousin have to keep so many serfs? Give them the land to plant, and divide the people also. In this way, the tax can be paid by themselves. They are small families and can't pay much tax. Wouldn't that be good for everyone? ”

Zhao Feifei glanced at Li Taoyao, sighed and said, "I also have this idea, I'm afraid that my uncles won't agree." ”

Li Taoyao looked at the two, and Zheng Bingde also had a bitter look on his face, looking at Li Taoyao pitifully. Li Taoyao said:

"You should persuade your uncle and uncle more, you should give up the money and things outside the body. The honor and disgrace of the family are all tied to His Majesty's thoughts. It is better to bow your head when you should bow your head, Your Majesty, or to be merciful. ”

Li Taoyao didn't dare to think about the use of the Zhao family and the Zheng family to raise warriors, let alone mention it. She only mentioned money, which made Zhao Feifei and Zheng Bingde only nod their heads and say yes.

Seeing that the sun was hanging overhead, Honggu was worried that they would cause trouble if they went back late, so she quietly signaled Li Taoyao and their brothers to say goodbye.

Zhao Feifei looked at Honggu and Xuewa, two beautiful girls who were red and white, especially Xuewa, who had knocked down a samurai with a whip just now, and hugged his fists and said: "The girl is so skilled, please ask for a name?" ”

Honggu grabbed the conversation and replied, "Marquis Zhao has tormented the servant." The maid sisters are just the girls of the Jiangnan Houfu, and the cheap name is really not enough for the Hou Yedao. ”

Zhao Feifei smiled, not reluctantly, he beckoned to Tuweizi, and then turned back to Li Taoyao and smiled: "Princess, put on a weft hat when you go back, Your Majesty has an order today, when a woman goes out, she must wear a weft hat to cover her face, and someone must accompany her." Violators of the order will be implicated even by their relatives. ”

When Zhao Feifei said this, he smiled at Zheng Bingde and said, "Ade, you send the princess back, don't make people laugh at the princess." ”

Li Taoyao was stunned, this regulation has always been there, but no one has complied with it, but he didn't expect the new emperor to ascend the throne, but it was brought up again.

Someone sent three weft hats in the soil enclosure, and after the three of them put them on, they said goodbye to Zhao Feifei with Zheng Bingde, because of the summer heat, the three of them lost the interest when they came, and rode back slowly, Zheng Bingde watched from the side, and followed silently.

Honggu felt guilty for not knowing the new rules for going out, so that Li Taoyao was laughed at, and seeing Li Taoyao's low interest, she smiled and said: "It's good to wear a hat, otherwise you will be tanned on such a poisonous day." ”

Zheng Bingde sighed and said: "Although what you said is reasonable, this regulation is not afraid that you will get a tan, but that it is immoral for women to go out without wearing a weft hat." ”

"It's so wide." Xuewa sighed with emotion and made an exaggerated appearance, "Emperor...... How majestic is that...... He should have a lot of things to do every day, right? Why are you so idle? ”
