In the Tang Dynasty, official salaries generally consisted of several parts: lumi, manpower, job land, monthly miscellaneous allowances, regular in-kind benefits and special in-kind benefits, which were quite complicated. Not only that, there were other benefits, such as exemption from military service for relatives, housing, and transportation.
, Shou Tian, descendants enjoy preferential treatment and privileges such as admission to school and official positions.
The prince is a first-class official, with an annual salary of 86 guan, 650 dan of rice, 240 guan of labor subsidy, and an output of 1,200 acres of farmland of about 1,200 dan...
...There are all kinds of names, and the names are complicated, but they add up to only more than 500 strings.
Of course, the bulk of the prince's income lies in the fief.
For example, the taxation of fiefdoms...
The Tang Dynasty was not like the Han Dynasty. It could appoint and dismiss officials as its own country within the fiefdom, and even increase taxes unscrupulously in spite of national laws. Moreover, after the taxes in the fiefdom were collected, most of them had to be turned over to the national treasury, and the rest was the income of the fiefdom owner. But as for
This is still an enlarged number.
Therefore, the status of a prince or important minister can be seen from the wealth of the fiefdom.
Therefore, as long as a prince does not recruit troops and wants to rebel, under normal circumstances there will be no situation where he does not have enough money to spend...
Of course, if you want luxury and luxury, you can only rely on business...
Unfortunately, Li Ke does not have any business transactions under his name.
He is different from other princes in that he has the blood of the former Sui royal family. This not only makes him almost lose hope when competing for the position of prince, but also makes him have to be cautious in his actions.
His Majesty Li Er is a generous king, but once he becomes cruel, he will kill anyone...
Li Ke had long been aware that some people in the court were full of ill will toward him, probably because his reputation and talent threatened the crown prince's status, or perhaps because if the crown prince fell, his presence would affect other people's ascension to the throne.
...Among them is Changsun Wuji, the uncle of several direct princes.
The Guanlong Group was so powerful that after His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, it almost spread throughout the court. How could Li Ke not be careful and not leave the slightest clue or excuse to others?
To do business, you have to deal with people, but how many people in the world have nothing to do with the former Sui Dynasty? A few casual conversations may kill him. Therefore, Li Ke never does business, even if it is between East and West.
There is not even half of the property of Prince Wu's Mansion in the city.
It was good to live in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, the filial piety from subordinates was sent from time to time, which could not be refused. But when I returned to Chang'an, I had the title of prince but no real power, so my life was naturally tight.
When Princess Yang was seriously ill in the south of the Yangtze River, she relied on the palace to continuously send medicines and supplements. After returning to Chang'an, her illness began to recover, and the rewards from the palace also decreased. Li Ke suddenly discovered that buying high-quality wild ginseng was also
A huge expense...
My dear prince, how can I be so embarrassed?
After listening carefully to the reason, Fang Jun remained silent.
After a long while, he said: "Your Highness...are you being too cautious?"
Not doing business, not accepting gifts, this is to draw a clear line with foreign ministers, so as to avoid being framed by innocent people and causing death. Fang Jun cannot say that Li Ke did something wrong. No matter how Changsun Wuji's stance on establishing the heir apparent changes,
, the targets are among several of his direct relatives and nephews. Facing Li Ke, who is famous and talented, it is very possible to seize the opportunity to act cruelly. In fact, even after Li Zhi ascended the throne, the world has
Sure enough, wouldn't Changsun Wuji still catch Fang Yiai and others in the rebellion case, drag Li Ke into it, and hang him with a three-foot white silk silk within the confines of Chang'an Palace?
No matter what you do, as long as you stand here, you are an obstacle in the eyes of others.
If I really want to get rid of you, why bother to impose a crime on me?
You can't hide...
Li Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Too cautious? Erlang, can't you still see clearly the situation in the court? I am more than cautious? I just want to dig a hole, get in, and never come out again!"
Fang Jun's words had already shattered Li Ke's longing and hope for the Ninth Five Supreme Being. He realized that no matter what day, he would never be able to covet that position. He had already given up and only wanted to be a
"The leisure king in the prosperous age".
But his noble background has become a shackle for him. Even if he wants to be low-key, he can't. He will always be a threat in the eyes of others...
Fang Jun glanced at Li Ke and thought to himself, what's the use of being handsome? What's the use of being a prince?
Even more frustrated than myself...
After all, we are close friends. I feel a little sorry to see the scenery like this. Please give me some guidance.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Jun said: "I have to do a big business recently. Since Your Highness is short of money, I will raise some money and count it as your share."
Li Ke smiled bitterly: "Since you know that I am short of money, how can you raise money?"
He naturally knew that this was Fang Jun's intention to send money to him, and it must be done in a reasonable and legal manner. Moreover, Fang Jun was known as the "God of Wealth", so if he could call it a big move, it would certainly be a big deal, and the profits would be astonishing.
.The problem is that he is short of money now, where can he raise money? If he could borrow money from his mouth, he would not be reduced to this situation...
When Fang Jun heard this, he stared and said, "Is it possible that His Highness still wants to be a wolf with nothing? Wei Chen really didn't see that His Highness is so shameless!"
Li Ke was speechless, I really have no money!
Before he could speak, he heard a delicate voice behind him: "The hero is short of breath, but it's just a temporary danger. Why does the prince-in-law slander the third brother like this?"
Li Ke and Fang Jun looked back, but it was Princess Changle who walked in from the door accompanied by a beauty in palace attire, Pingping Tingting.
The beauty in palace attire has charming eyebrows and a graceful figure. She is dressed in pink and white palace attire. Her head is covered with pearls and her face is beautiful. However, her beautiful cheeks are slightly thin and her face is a bit too fair.
The charm of a sickly beauty flows out.
Fang Jun quickly stood up and saluted: "We have met the princess."
It is Princess Wu Yang.
Yang returned the courtesy with her skirts gathered, and her voice was soft: "You don't need to be polite, Erlang. His Highness often talks about your great achievements in my ears. Now he is Gaoyang's consort. We are all one family, so don't see anyone outside."
Fang Jun's face darkened and he turned to glare at Li Ke.
Do you often talk about our great achievements?
Humph, I'm afraid it's true that our embarrassing things should be told as jokes from time to time...
This is clearly a bad reputation!
Li Ke was also a little embarrassed. Who in the couple's boudoir would promote other men's wisdom and prowess? Naturally, he picked up some interesting things to tell, and there were countless interesting things about Fang Jun. Most of the time, he made fun of him...
…
However, when his wife said it at this time, the magnanimous gentleman Li Ke was naturally a little embarrassed. He laughed and said: "As Li Zhi said, although I am poor, how can I let you slander me like this? Apologize quickly, I can do it."
Let bygones be bygones, otherwise I will certainly punish you for contempt of the royal family!"
Fang Jun rolled his eyes, ignored him, turned to Princess Changle and said, "Your Highness is unfair. Your Highness, King Wu, wanted to get benefits but didn't pay for it. Why do you blame me?"
Staring at him with scorching eyes, Princess Changle felt a little guilty and her eyes wandered a little, but she didn't want to show her timidity in front of him. She bit her lips and said, "At worst, I have paid for third brother's capital for him. What else do you have?"
Can you talk?"
Li Ke quickly said: "Beauty, you must not..."
Princess Wu Yang also patted the back of Princess Changle's hand and said slightly angrily: "Why are we getting involved in men's affairs?"
Jun Fangfang, over there, has already said: "Your Highness, Princess, if you have a deep brother-sister relationship and a strong sense of loyalty, then I would be disrespectful. In order to express your admiration, Your Highness only needs to spend a portion of your money to get 20% of the shares."
"
Princess Changle snorted and said, "You know what's going on!"
Fang Jun said with a shy face: "I always have a good look..."
Tangquanchizi...
Princess Changle's face was pink, her expression was slightly angry, her beautiful eyes were wide-eyed, and she glared at Fang Jun.
Do you have good eyesight?
Once you see it, you can't forget it, right?
What a bastard...
Fang Jun's face was as dark as a flower. He raised his eyebrows when she looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
Princess Changle suddenly panicked, lowered her gaze, her eyelashes blinked non-stop, and her heart was pounding wildly.
Could this guy... just take the opportunity to have an interaction with me?
Then if he took out the money to buy shares on behalf of the third brother, wouldn't he think that he was actively approaching?
Misstep...
I wonder if this guy will push his limits?
For a moment, Princess Changle was in a state of confusion.
