The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

According to their original thinking, His Highness would only scold them for a while if he brought them here. After all, the head of the East Palace is His Highness the Emperor Changsun, and the bank's income can account for a large part of the East Palace. But they did not expect that His Highness the Emperor Changsun would actually To participate in the planting of the farm.

"Is there any problem? From now on, if you follow Gu, it's best to say it to your face if you have something. After we solve it, there will be nothing else. But if you don't say it in person and mess up the matter behind your back, then Don’t blame the lonely king for being rude to you.”

Facing these people below, Li Xiang did not behave very kindly. He also knew that these village leaders were all old men. If you didn't be cruel to them, who knows what they would do.

From some TV dramas, Li Xiang also knew that all these village heads deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the subordinates. The subordinates levied excessive taxes on the tenants, and the superiors underreported and concealed the information from the masters. In the end, the masters were thinned and they themselves were fattened.

"Your Highness, our dozen or so farms combined now have tens of thousands of acres of land. If something goes wrong, it will not only affect the income of the East Palace, but may even affect the price of food in Chang'an. …”

Tian Kui is an honest man. He has followed Li Chengqian for many years and has been in charge of the farm for Li Chengqian for many years. After listening to Li Xiang's words, his eyes were full of worry. He was loyal to the East Palace and never wanted to see Li Xiang have problems.

Most of the grain produced by the big family's land must be sold, and it is impossible to eat all of it. Take the East Palace as an example, the grain of these tens of thousands of acres of land is not a small amount in Chang'an City. If all If the harvest fails, it will have a certain impact on the price of grain. If someone is interested in making a fuss about it, Li Xiang may not be able to afford it.

"Are you saying that His Highness doesn't understand farming? You will do whatever His Highness says. Do you still want to teach His Highness to do things? We, His Highness, will do whatever His Highness says. Do you need to express your opinion?"

Zhang Xifa looked at Tian Kui with a sideways face, and looked at Li Xiang with a smile. At first glance, he looked like a two-faced person.

Li Xiang also knew what this guy was thinking. He changed from the farm in the Han Dynasty to the farm in the East Palace. This guy was very scared inside, fearing that Li Xiang would remove his position. After all, you are Li Yuanchang's person. When you arrive, It's not your turn to be in charge here.

Now in order to continue working in this position, he must show his loyalty. Not to mention that Li Xiang wants to distribute seeds. Even if these lands are left empty for a year, he will obey them honestly. As for the following Whether those people would starve to death was beyond his consideration.

"Shut up, Your Highness cannot listen to him. He is from the Han Palace and is not of the same mind as our East Palace..."

Tian Kui said excitedly.

"What the hell..."

Zhang Xifa wanted to fight back, but seeing Li Xiang's gloomy face, they both shut their mouths at the same time.

"Are you done? After that, the lonely king said, from now on, all of you will listen to Tian Kui. Tian Kui is the chief manager of the farm, and Zhang Xifa is the second manager. They come here to report once a month. In addition, all the tenants below are Register in the register and forget about your past affairs, but starting from the lonely king butler, you'd better put away all the bullshit things. If I find out, it won't be as simple as removing you from your post."

Li Xiang knows that the bottoms of these people are not clean, but there are no available people now, so he can only use them temporarily and see the effects later.

After listening to Li Xiang's words, the following people were also trembling with fear. They didn't expect that the young master was only thirteen years old and already so knowledgeable in doing things. He had never heard of our highness going to the farmland. Why did he seem to be right? Do you know everything there?

The slaves in each farm all paid falsely, just so that they could share more grain when the time came. For example, if one person was needed for three acres of land, they all paid for two people, and the grain of the other person was eaten by these people.

Li Xiang had read the account books of the East Palace last year. These people had eaten at least 40% of the money. This was even when Li Chengqian beheaded two village heads. If he hadn't done this, I'm afraid only 40% would have been handed over.

"Come out."

Seeing that these people were frightened, Li Xiang immediately waved his hand and more than thirty guards came out from the side. The village leaders present all shrank together. I don't know what these people do. Could they be killing people today? ?

"This is the patrol team of the East Palace Grange. Starting today, they will take my king's warrant to work and go to each farm to verify the data you submitted. So don't fool around with things like before. There is something above It’s a little bit different, you know how Dong Palace does things.”

When Li Xiang said this, he had to thank Li Chengqian. In the past, Li Chengqian had a withdrawn temperament. Once he found someone below him messing around with money, he would immediately kill him.

But even so, these people still take risks. After all, with so many village leaders, at most one or two unlucky ones will be cut off, and the rest will have to make money to live.

These people looked at the farm guards in front of them, and in their hearts ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past.

Scholars are not a big deal these days, and people who can read and do accounting are even rarer. These people earn a lot of wages a year, so asking them to go to the fields to check this is really overkill.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely cooperate with you in protecting us."

Tian Kui was the first to agree. He had nothing to worry about. After all, he never took advantage of such dirty money. Compared with ordinary people, his income was not low.

"Subordinates also..."

Zhang Xifa and others also quickly expressed their loyalty, and it was they who were hit by Li Xiang's heavy punch.

When the farm harvests grain, the East Palace will send people to watch it to prevent them from stealing the grain, so there is no way to cheat at this time.

The only thing that can be faked is the number of slaves. After collecting the grain, all the slaves will receive the next year's rations. At this time, they will falsely report and overreport, hire a group of people outside, and then give this batch of grain to Taking it back to line their own pockets was the most they made in a year.

Except for Tian Kui's farm, everyone else had done something to some extent. Li Xiang was able to promote Tian Kui to the position of general manager only after conducting investigations in advance.

"Of course, if your numbers reach the standard during the harvest season, I will give you double salary. If you can reach the standard for three consecutive years, I will guarantee that your children will have a good background."

When Li Xiang said these words, the people present couldn't hold their breath...
