Chapter 126

Prince Cheng (Wu) Lin, today's uncle, was granted in Fujian, eating 3000 households and actually eating 1500 households.

Since Li Tang Dynasty, the power of the prince has been severely restricted. The so-called fief actually does not really belong to you, but nominally belongs to you. The imperial court will collect all the taxes, grain and crop output of the fief for you. After that, the handling fee will be deducted, and finally converted into money and goods to hang in your name. When the Royal Palace needs to spend, Then the imperial court will pay for it.

Of course, in the Li Tang Dynasty, the management was not as strict as that in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. At least it was directly given to the royal palace. In the Wu Zhou Dynasty, it was simply not given directly. All the things given to the Royal Palace by the imperial court could only be squeezed into the account and disbursed when needed, which really belonged to the money controlled by the prince in the royal palace, It is either the material object once rewarded, or the salary, or the palace's own property.

There is such a rule from top to bottom. Of course, the palace also has its own food field. The output of this food field is controlled by the palace itself, but the palace still needs to hire tenant farmers to cultivate. Moreover, the imperial court has detailed regulations on the number of tenant farmers and the proportion of each year. No one can violate them, otherwise they will be punished.

Wu Lin is today's close uncle. It's natural to be crowned king. However, Wu Lin's life has been difficult over the years. When he was a child, of course, he wanted wind and rain in the imperial palace. No one would say anything except not to fight with the crown prince. Life can be said to be very comfortable.

When he arrived in Fujian after enfeoffment, life would be better when he was a prince. After all, the emperor Lao Tzu who was the father and the Queen's mother would reward some property every year. Even if the palace did not operate, these properties would be enough for Wu Lin to live comfortably.

However, after the old emperor Bintian, Wu Lin's brother became emperor, and his life became sad. Although he could take care of his brother, he would not be as kind as his parents. After another ten years, he ascended to Datong. Because he was less than 13 years old, all the people in the imperial court were guarded by Wu Lin, who was most qualified to "rebel" against thieves, Not to mention what benefits to give him, I really want to peel off the skin for him.

After eight years of trembling in such a oppressive day, the imperial court's supervision over Wu Lin was gradually relaxed, and the whole palace was relieved.

No, my nephews who haven't been around for many years also know that they have come to visit him.

In fact, Wu Lin was not very old. He was 12 when he was enfeoffed. When he was 15, Lao Tzu died. His 20-year-old brother ascended Dabao and reigned for eight years. Then his nephew ascended the throne and reigned for eight years in a twinkling of an eye. Wu Lin calculates that he is also a man of fifty this year. He has experienced three emperors. In a sense, he can also be said to be a veteran of three dynasties.

"Wu Cheng, have you worked hard in Anning County these years?"

Looking at Wu Cheng, who was drinking tea, Wu Lin smiled and finally came through all the hardships and joys. Their royal relatives and relatives have really worked very hard these years. The younger the emperor is, the harder they work. Look at his nephew, who is only in his thirties. He is already full of beautiful hair.

"Lord, you are enjoying a good fortune in the royal residence. The lower official is still busy for the food rations of dozens of people in the family all day. He is not afraid of hardship. The main reason is that he has no capital in his hands and doesn't dare to stretch out his hand when looking at the profitable business."

Wu Cheng is not the kind of person who likes to go around in circles. He has a close relationship with Wu Lin, not in blood, but in position. Everyone lives in this area. Wu Cheng certainly does not dare to offend Wu Lin, and Wu Lin also needs to have a good relationship with Wu Cheng to some extent.

It is said that it is difficult for honest officials to judge household affairs. This royal household affairs is not something that honest officials dare to comment on. Sometimes there are contradictions between royal relatives and relatives. The two families can even fight until they fight in front of the emperor. In case of this kind of thing, even today's emperor has no choice. It is often a family of 50 big boards and reward some things. Of course, it was still a time of abundant national strength. At present, the days of Wuzhou were difficult. There was smoke everywhere in China. The army was either running around or fragmented. Every year, it was for the sake of military pay. Those ministers with white beards in the imperial court could tear and fight regardless of their faces.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the government has just been in power. After all, there are always some things that need to be reversed slowly after the fall of imperial power for so many years.

Wu Lin actually didn't care about these things. He didn't worry about the chaos in the world. He always thought that Wu Zhou was an iron bucket like river and mountain. Even if there was some turmoil, it was also a disease of scabies. As long as Chao tingteng came out, he would attack one by one, and there would be no ambiguity.

So the only thing that Wu Lin, who came slowly, really dared to be interested in was making money, which was also the frustration of the princes of Wu Zhou. The imperial court took away most of their wealth. There were hundreds of mouths up and down in a palace, even thousands of mouths, which wanted to eat and drink. When the princes were hungry, they would go to the local risk assessment officer, At that time, these guys who don't want evidence will be known all over the world. They will not only have a bad reputation, but also be remembered by the one sitting in the Jinluan hall. It's really fun to cut off their titles and become ordinary people.

So when Wu Cheng talked about profitable business, but he was limited by his ability and couldn't get involved, Wu Lin became interested.

"I said cheng'er, we are all our own people. Don't be surprised. What kind of profitable business makes you so distressed? As far as I know, your family is still OK. Old thirteen didn't leave you less treasure. As long as you don't be the black sheep, you won't have enough to eat for ten years!"

"Uncle Wang."

Since Wu Lin took the initiative to lower his airs, Wu Cheng also hit the snake with the stick and called "Uncle Wang". After that, human eyes filled with eyes, "Uncle Wang, you love your nephew most. My nephew didn't lie. Now there is a business that can make a lot of money, but people despise my nephew and say that my nephew is not qualified to cooperate whether it's reputation, strength or financial resources."

"Ridiculous! I'm a noble son of the royal family. Why don't I have enough reputation and strength? As for money, Cheng Er, how much money do you need? I can make up for you first. Then you can give me the cheapest interest in the market!"

After all, it's still about interests. It's really a common way for rich people to make money by using their floating wealth to lend. It's just that Wu Lin said so well that it turned out to be a deal in the end.
