Before dark, Liu Che and his entourage came to a small mountain village called Yuemating in Xinfeng County.

It just so happened that this county also belonged to one of the ten Shiyi counties that were given to Liu Che.

Liu Che, who came to his own territory, looked very excited.

Although it is said that those ten counties, in fact, except for sending money to Liu Che on time, they really have nothing to do with Liu Che.

Liu Che did not even appoint any officials.

But this does not prevent him from considering Xinfeng as his own territory.

When Liu Che and his entourage went to the village to seek accommodation in the name of their nephews, the pavilion chief and Li Zheng quickly came and enthusiastically arranged Liu Che and his party to live at the post station in the pavilion.

The Han Dynasty built a grass-roots administrative unit with ten miles as the standard.

In this era when the punishment is not good for the doctor, the courtesy is not inferior to the common people, and it is taken for granted, it is impossible to think about it with the buttocks if you want the officials and nobles to squeeze a place with mud legs and live in a thatched house!

Therefore, each pavilion was built with a standard post for receiving and serving passing nobles and officials.

Nobles and officials can eat, drink and stay for free in these inns, and when they are done, they can pat their butts and leave.

Normally, these accommodation expenses and food expenses will be apportioned into the miscellaneous taxes by the local officials, and the common people will pay for them.

This phenomenon of eating and drinking at public expense finally caused an earthquake the year before last.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the prime minister was furious, and finally issued an edict prohibiting similar things, and officials and nobles had to pay for their own accommodation.

However, Liu Che knows it.

Eat and drink at public expense. If it can be banned by the next red-headed text, then, the Celestial Empire would have eliminated the consumption of the Three Princes a long time ago.

the world. There will never be a shortage of guys who hold stinky feet and commit crimes against the wind.

The emperor's father's edict the year before last only made the officials stop for a month or two, and they restrained a little, and in addition, the songs were sung and danced.

Anyway, in his previous life, Liu Che was in Hejian Country. It is not uncommon for officials to stay in local pavilions, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

Of course, to say that it does not work. That's not going to be.

At the very least, when someone falls, eating and drinking at public expense may also become one of the crimes.

Liu Che, who knows these things well. Where are you willing to go to the pavilion of this Yuema Pavilion again.

He looked at the man with a face full of enthusiasm. With his eyes shining, he was about to come forward to set up a close pavilion chief, where he didn't know, if he really went, with his current false identity as the nephew of the orange waiter, at least big fish and big meat were inevitable!

Liu Che looked around with both eyes, this small mountain village.

Village. They are all bamboo and wooden houses, and there are few brick houses.

In the village, curious probes probe their brains to observe the children in his line. Most of the faces are also yellow, obviously, the nutrition is not good.

Where is he willing to suck blood on these people?

Therefore, Liu Che smiled, and waved his hand to the pavilion chief who came to welcome them and their group to stay in the pavilion and said: "The pavilion chief does not need to be polite, we traveled to Guanzhong and came to collect poems, so thank you for the pavilion chief's kindness......"

The pavilion chief was a dark and strong middle-aged man, about thirty years old, with a thick waist and round arms, and a full beard.

When he heard this, he was not too surprised.

In this pass, the most common thing is the children and nephews of the princes and nobles who are full and have nothing to do, and they are wandering around all day long.

These guys with golden keys in their mouths, of course, many of them are gentlemen, and they only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

However, there are also a large number of princes and nephews, full of petty bourgeois thoughts, similar to the two princes and nephews in front of them, under the banner of collecting poems, wandering around, this pavilion chief has also seen a lot.

So it's no surprise.

It's just that these big people are purely idle eggs.

"It's just a pity that the reward ......," the pavilion chief sighed in his heart.

According to past experience, the children of the nobles of Dafan spend the night in the place, as long as they are served comfortably, the sycophants are cool, and the fingernails leak a little reward money, it is enough for him, the pavilion chief, to live a comfortable life for most of the year.

If he is lucky and gets appreciated, whether it is recommended or brought back to Chang'an as a retainer, it is a good thing that a pavilion chief like him dreams of!

As for the money spent on hospitality?

Anyway, if it's not their own, who will feel distressed?

Thinking like this, the pavilion chief felt that he could still fight for it again......

So, he arched his hand and said: "Childe doesn't know, this Yuemating is poor and remote, the place is simple, I'm afraid it will snub Childe, Son, it's better to go to the official house in the pavilion with me, turbid wine and meat, listen to music and enjoy the moon, wouldn't you be happy?" ”

When Liu Che heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "I don't want the pavilion chief to be an elegant person!" ”

When the pavilion chief heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just a rough person, but I'm just infected by the elegance of the son......"

"Childe, do you want to go to the pavilion now?" The pavilion chief asked, "A certain good order to prepare wine and food in the pavilion......

Liu Che listened, waved his hand firmly and said: "Go to the pavilion and be exempted, I and my brother, this time I came out to collect poems!" ”

Liu Che looked at the pavilion chief, and then said, "The so-called collection of poems, the way of the sage, must go deep into the people, and be with the people, in order to gain something...... Trouble the pavilion chief to help us find two or three loyal and honest people, and spend the night with them, it just so happened that I and my younger brother, also wanted to talk to the people, learned about the people's suffering, after going back, I could write an article, Chen Zuo's family elders in front of the case! ”

After Liu Che finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Wang Dao, who was following beside him, immediately understood, handed a small piece of golden horn to the pavilion chief, and said, "Just a small courtesy, please don't shirk the pavilion chief!" ”

The pavilion chief took the little golden horn, and his face suddenly bloomed with joy.

The golden horn is not big, but it is also gold!

So, he simply didn't care whether Liu Che went to stay in the pavilion or not, and said with enthusiasm on his face: "No, I will lead the nobles to the people's homes!" ”

Not long after, under the leadership of the pavilion chief, Liu Che and his entourage lived in the home of a large family in this small mountain village.

This is also the 'common people's house' where the children of the aristocracy usually live when they collect poems -- when they really live in the poor jingle peasant house, the first problem that is difficult to solve is the problem of the bed. Who has extra beds in the common people? As for the problem of cleanliness and comfort, you don't even need to think about it.

What's more, for most nobles, people like the landlords and gentry are the people.

As for the mud legs?

Qianshou is what they call it!

is Liu Che, in fact, he doesn't want to really live in a dilapidated people's house.

This is not discrimination, but that after enjoying happiness for a long time, it will be difficult to endure hardship.

Therefore, there is no objection to the pavilion chief leading him to a family that is obviously a local landlord at first glance.

"This is the Lizheng family ...... of this village" After the pavilion chief knocked on the door, he introduced to Liu Che: "Zhang Lizheng, but Yuema Pavilion is a famous good person, although the family is rich and has dozens of hectares of fertile land, but he often helps the pavilion chief to be poor, and he is a rare great benevolent person!" ”

When Liu Che heard this, he took a large number of photos of the family's courtyard house.

The house is quite large, at least in the countryside, it is at the level of a luxury house.

A slight estimate showed that there were at least a dozen houses, and in the yard there were also cattle pens and stables, with two cows, a horse and two mules.

Such people, even in Guanzhong, belong to the middle class and above, and are the real gentry class in this country.

In addition, Liu Che also noticed that there were slaves and maids in this house.

That's amazing!

According to the Han law, the head tax of a slave was directly increased by five times, and each person had to pay a mouth tax of 600 yuan a year.

It's just that Liu Che saw with his eyes, there were four or five servants in this family, let alone four or five, if you count it like this......

An extra burden of thousands of dollars a year.

This is the good man?

Then the Zhou Papi in the textbooks of later generations can be a moral model!

The reason is very simple, in today's world, a maidservant is worth about 20,000 yuan, a small slave is about 15,000, and a male servant in the prime of life is worth 40,000 yuan.

In other words, the value of these slaves alone should be more than 100,000 dollars!

So the question is, by farming, how did this pavilion chief dig out this huge net worth from his dozens of hectares of land?

At least, Liu Che himself thinks that he may not be able to save such a big family business in a hundred years by only relying on his own share of land management!

Therefore, this Zhang Lizheng's so-called 'often helping poor people', Liu Che can also guess what the situation is.

There is no such thing as usury...... (To be continued......)

PS: The plot has reached a critical point, and I've been thinking about it lately, how to make the protagonist make it reasonable to become the emperor, and his hair has fallen out a lot~~~~~
