  Chapter 1473 Wu'an Taiping

  The second year of Chang'an, winter, the twelfth lunar month.

  Annan Road, Wu'an Prefecture, Taiping Port.

  Qin Lun, who had been staying in the Qin Family Fort for more than a month, was a little annoyed, but he could only stay in the Fort and continue to wait for Luzon San Francisco's reply.

  Leaving Luonan to go south, he originally planned to fly directly from Guangzhou to San Francisco, but he received a message from his father from the officials of the Luzon Office in Guangzhou.

   Let him go to Wu'an Taiping first instead of going to Luzon.

  Qin Lun was apprehensive and worried about disobeying his father's orders, so he went south from Guangzhou Port to Wu'an Taiping, where he stayed for more than a month without hearing from him.

   It seems that Chinese New Year is coming soon, but Qin Lun and his children and grandchildren dare not return east to Luzon without their father's permission.

  Staying in Taiping Port at this time, Qin Lun's identity is also very embarrassing.

  He resigned from Luoyang to return to the south on the grounds of recuperating from illness, but Qin Lang refused him to return to Luzon, so he could only settle down in Wu'an Mansion first. Now Qin Lang has taken back the Nanshan fief that was granted to him before, and even all his children and grandchildren's share has been taken back.

  So now Qin Lun, the official prime minister, has no official position and no position. Although he has a title, the title of King Fuguowei of the imperial court has no fiefdom, only some land.

In the early years, the imperial court entrusted Qin Lang's Wu'an Mansion as the world, and Tween entrusted his seven sons, and each son entrusted one state. At that time, it was Qin Lang's seven eldest sons who were enfeoffed, and even the eldest son Qin Yu was not born yet. , let alone Qin Lun of Twenty One Lang.

  So now the Shifeng Fu Mu of Wu'an Mansion is Qin Lang, the seven prefectures under the mansion, and the Shifeng Governor is the seven sons headed by Qin Jun.

  Qin Lun was in Wu'an, at best he was a guest.

  In fact, the Qin family in Taiping Harbor did treat Qin Lun as a guest. They were very polite and careful, but kept a sufficient distance.

  Shifeng's Mu Qinyu of Wu'an Mansion and Shifeng's governor of Wu'an Prefecture and other seven prefectures are not here, and here are only the stewards they sent to take care of the fiefdom.

After all, Wu'an is only a feudal family. Over the years, although the Qin family has a strong influence here, the actual administrative, judicial, military, and taxation are all controlled by officials appointed by the imperial court, and the Qin family only has a certain amount of supervision power. And the real one-third of the world's tax revenue is nothing more.

In addition, Qin Lang's 30,000 households are all sealed in Wu'an. In the past, more than one-third of the 90,000 class Ding was allocated to pay taxes every year. However, after the reform of the two taxes, this kind of title Shifeng Shiyi has also changed. After all, it is now dominated by land tax and household tax, and is no longer taxed by Ding as in the past. Therefore, it does not make much sense whether a household has three Dings or two Dings or even how many households. The fief fiefdom is actually only one-third of the household tax of the sealed households shared by the feudal marquis.

  Under this new law, households have no masters and guests, no one, and the difference between rich and poor.

So in the past, when the so-called food towns were sealed off, those with power and power preferred households with more than 100,000 people. For example, some princesses were favored, and the emperor deliberately selected those households with seven people, and some favored officials also had to choose more than three people. households, and if it is only general, it may be one or two households, or even one household.

  So the same closure of 300 households and 500 households, the actual income may differ by as much as six or seven times.

  However, after the tax reform, the number of households in Shiyi was not based on households, and the court even refined the loopholes in the rules. For example, if one household is sealed, the household tax standard of the seventh-class household is 1,000 yuan.

  Qin Lang’s real closure of 20,000 households is one-third of the annual 20,000 guan, less than 7,000 guan.

  If there were only a hundred households sealed off, that year would actually be more than 30 households.

Because the income fell quite sharply, after several adjustments, it was finally changed to directly discount the amount of food according to the number of households, and each household will be discounted 350 yuan a month, which will be paid together with the salary, and there is no need for the feudal marquis to send someone to assist the official collection. This food income.

  So up to now, the so-called real seal city has no actual relationship with where it is sealed. Unless it is a world seal, it will be related to the fiefdom. For other real seal cities, the sealed land is just a name.

  One hundred households are really sealed, that is thirty-five guan in one month, and four hundred and twenty guan in a year.

  Compared to the past, the income has actually increased by more than ten times. Of course, this is only so much increase compared to after the tax reform, and the actual income before the tax reform is not bad.

  However, nowadays the imperial court does not grant major military merits, and generally does not grant real titles. Most of them are false titles.

  As for those important ministers and favored ministers, etc., they are often feuded internally and externally, and they are directly given a piece of land, and there is no need to give Shiyi a real seal.

   Therefore, in recent years, very few people have been able to obtain Shiyi.

  For example, Qin Lang, who has sealed 20,000 households, is as unique as he is the elder of the Six Dynasties. There are fewer meritorious officials than the world-appointed ones, and basically all of them have less than 1,800 households.

  Qin Lang's 20,000 households are really sealed, that is 84,000 guan, but compared to the monthly allowance of 30,000 guan and 360,000 guan a year specially granted by the emperor to Qin Lang, it is nothing.

  Qin Lun, as the king of the auxiliary state, originally had a world seal, even the world seal of the king of Nanshan, also had a real seal, and the real seal of a thousand households was worth 4,200 yuan a year.

He has retired, but he can still receive the full salary, which is the same as when he was the prime minister. A special gift from King Wei of the Kingdom.

  So Qin Lun is not short of money.

   But the problem is, staying in Taiping Port now, I can't go up or down, it's uncomfortable.

Originally ambitious, he wanted to be the prime minister within 20 years, but now he is hanging in Taiping Port, and he can't even go out to show his face. After all, he came back for recuperation, and now Qin Lang's attitude, he is even more low-key .

  Can only use the excuse of recuperating every day to hide in the Fortress behind closed doors and see no visitors.

And the Qin family in Wu'an Mansion and the old retainers of the Qin family seem to know that this twenty-one-year-old has angered Qin Lang recently, so everyone just started to come over to be polite and send name stickers to visit. After seeing it, I just sent the steward's family members over to give some gifts on a regular basis.

In Luoyang, even if it is only the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, it is still ranked third, but that is also the minister who participates in political affairs, and is also the minister of civil and military affairs of the two governments, not to mention that he is also the grandfather of the emperor's empress, and he has a very high status in the Luoyang court. Yes, even Zhongshuling Di Renjie has to be very polite to him.

   After all, Di Renjie was the number one scholar in the imperial examination presided over by Qin Lang, and even before he became the number one scholar, he had already walked beside Qin Lang, not to mention that after winning the number one, he went to Luzon to do business for five years.

  Although Di Renjie is not a retainer of the Qin family, it is extraordinary to have this relationship.

  Pei Yan, the attendant, is also Qin Lang's student...

   Not to say that the stars are holding the moon, but it is indeed a detached position. One day, the door of the family will not accept a few big baskets of worship posts? When do you line up at the door to meet the gift-giving guests? Isn't it full of traffic?

  When was this neglected?

  Luoyang should be snowing heavily, but the twelfth lunar month in Taipinggang is still like summer, even with a hint of heat.

  Qin Lun's heart was as hot as this weather.

  Footsteps came.

  It is Qin Shi, the eldest son of Qin Lun, the queen's father, Qin Shi, King of Guangning, and now the new Governor of Wu'an.

"Father!"

  Qin Lun didn't look back, "Taiping Port without Princess Taiping, and Weibao without Duke Wei, this place is really boring."

   "Aye don't like this?"

Qin Lun shook his head, "Your uncle was born here, but I was born in San Francisco. I just spent a few vacations here when I was young. I don't like or hate it, but now, it really makes me I feel that the world is hot and cold, and human feelings are warm and cold.”

   "Father, Grandpa sent someone to Taiping."

"who?"

   "Zhang Wenyuan!"

  Qin Lun smiled, "Zhang Chao and Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang San, the iron gun, has also been in charge of Luzon's internal affairs for ten years. I didn't expect to send him out. Where is he?"

   "Mr. Zhang went to the government office and had a meeting with me, then went to Lang Son, saying that he was visiting the Yang family."

  Qin Lun frowned.

   "I want to ask Aye to come over, but Mr. Zhang said no, he just came to Lang Son to attend a wedding at the family's family of his late wife Yang, and he just took a word for Grandpa."

   "Then what did he say?"

   "Grandfather said that Aye doesn't have to go back to Luzon, and that our brothers, nephews, etc. don't have to go back either. He said that Nanshan Island has been changed to Erbo's family."

"That's it?"

  Qin Lun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

  Seeing his father like this, Qin Shi knew that he was extremely angry.

   said in a low voice, "Grandpa also said that Aye should rest in peace in Taiping Harbor and give Aye the Fort."

  Qin Lun stared at his son, and after waiting for a long time, he was silent.

"Gone?"

   "Mr. Zhang only said this."

  Qin Lun's face was livid, and he was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall with his fist.

"What is this? I am his second son. He asked me to resign. I agreed. I rushed back from Luoyang, but now I am left alone in Taiping Port? He took it away in Nanfangzhou. Forget it, I don’t care too much, but…”

   Qin Lun, who was out of breath, felt his heart throbbing and almost couldn't breathe.

   At the very least, at the very least, the Wu'an Mansion should be enshrined to him.

  In recent years, following the establishment of Taoism, the imperial court has also set up mansions. The capital, the accompanying capital, the administrative offices of Taoism, and some important cities have successively established mansions. Today, there are more than a dozen mansions in Datang.

  Although Wu'an is not the capital or the seat of Annan Road, its population has already exceeded one million and business and trade are thriving. Therefore, after the capital governor's mansion was withdrawn, it was directly changed into a mansion.

  After Wu'an established the government, the seven prefectures under the original governor's mansion became the Wu'an prefecture to manage the other six prefectures.

  Although Wu'an is only an inner seal of the Qin family, far less powerful than overseas autonomous territories like Luzon, and not as powerful as ordinary overseas seals, it is still a seal after all.

With a population of several million in Luzon, such a prosperous business and trade, especially Taiping Port is the third largest port in Lingnan, and it can even be tied with Jiaozhou Port, even if it is one of the top three in the world. The benefits are also huge.

   What's more, the Qin family has been operating here for decades, and it's not just the economic rights and interests.

Qin Lun originally thought that his father would give Wu'an Shifeng Mansion Shepherd to him, and then the Shifeng governors of the other six prefectures in Wu'an would be given to his sons, and the grandsons would be able to get Shifeng county magistrates, so they had to make proper arrangements for their family .

   But now, Qin Lang didn't give anything.

  He resigned from the ruling of the Western Mansion, he left Luoyang and went south, he was confiscated from the royal collar of Nanshan, and now he is not even willing to give him a world seal of Wu'an Mansion?

   "You go to prepare the boat, tomorrow morning, you all will follow me back to San Francisco!"

   "Aye, grandfather must still be angry now, why don't you apologize after a while..."

   "The father will teach me, the uncle will teach me, even the nephew can teach me, now even my own son will come to teach me?"

   "Son dare not!"

   "Then hurry up and prepare, don't talk nonsense." Qin Lun glared at his son, his eyes were full of anger, he must go to his father and ask him face to face, why all this!
