I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 96 Zhouzhuang
The next morning, Lin Xuan got up early, finished his martial arts training, and had breakfast, and was ready to go to Zhuangzi.

"Xuan'er, the people in Zhouzhuang are all servants of our family now, you have to be polite to them, don't upset their hearts, you know?" Lin Dongyang confessed.

"Father, how much land does our family have now?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.

He only remembers that his family used to have more than 1000 mu of land, but he doesn't know how much it is now.

"Before, there were more than 1000 mu. Some time ago, I bought the remaining land in Zhouzhuang from others. There are more than 3000 mu in total." Lin Dongyang said.

Lin Xuan smacked his tongue secretly. He didn't expect his father's speed to be quite fast, and he knew that it would be easy to manage.

"Father, don't worry, I'm leaving." Lin Xuan got on his horse after speaking.

Liu Da followed behind Lin Xuan with twenty soldiers.

Butler Lin led his servants to drive five carts, loaded with things for the servants, and followed behind.

A group of people left Chang'an City through the Golden Light Gate.

Lin Xuan was riding a horse on the main road, and he couldn't help but miss Shizi Cong a little bit. His own horse can only be regarded as a good horse, compared with Shizi Cong, it is far worse.

At that time, Li Shimin asked himself to make a request, so he should have asked him for the lion horse. What if he gave it?

……

Cui Xu received the news that Lin Xuan was out of the city, found Cui Hao, and said with a grim expression: "Lin Xuan is out of the city, should we send someone to let him die outside?"

"You're crazy, this is Chang'an, and he still has his own soldiers, how many people do you need to send to kill him?" Cui Hao looked at Cui Xu in surprise.

He didn't know what Cui Xu was thinking. At this moment, any fool would know that they did the assassination of Lin Xuan.

"What's wrong with Chang'an, and didn't he go out of the city? He brought more than 20 people with him, and it was easy to get him." Cui Xu said.

Cui Hao shook his head and said, "No, the risk is too great, even if you want to assassinate him, it's not now."

"But…"

"Don't worry about it, I'm the person in charge of Chang'an De, if I say no, I won't!" Cui Hao interrupted directly.

He is not as simple as Cui Xu thought.

To assassinate an earl around Chang'an is to slap Li Shimin in the face.

With Li Shimin's control over Chang'an City, how could he not be able to find out.

At that time, all members of the Cui family in Chang'an will die under Li Shimin's wrath.

Although Li Shimin wouldn't attack the entire Cui family because of Lin Xuan's death, it's okay to kill a few people.

"Hmph!" Cui Xu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.

Cui Hao didn't care, if he had been polite to Cui Xu before.

Now he doesn't take Cui Xu seriously at all, he is just a candidate for patriarch who is about to pass away.

"Damn it, that old ghost Cui Hao doesn't care about me."

When Cui Xu returned to the room, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. When he first came, Cui Hao was so polite to him.

But since losing to Lin Xuan, Cui Hao's attitude has changed.

If it weren't for the family's staff in Chang'an being in the hands of Cui Hao, why would he find Cui Hao.He did it himself.

Now that Cui Hao doesn't help him, he can only give up.

……

Royal Palace
Li Shimin also received the news that Lin Xuan was out of the city.

"Li Mu, are the members of the aristocratic family in Chang'an doing anything?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Mugong said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the people of the aristocratic family didn't make any moves."

Li Shimin was a little disappointed, he didn't expect people from the aristocratic family to be so tolerant.

"Ask people to keep a close eye on them. Once they make a move, kill them!" Li Shimin said coldly.

"Yes!"

……

Lin Xuan didn't know that he went out of the city to attract so many people's attention.

Zhouzhuang is not far from Chang'an City, only more than ten miles away.

At first, it was fine on the official road, but when we turned north and left the official road, the road became more and more difficult to walk.

"Lin Bo, tell them to drive slowly, and they must not overturn." Lin Xuan got up on the horse and turned around to explain.

"Don't worry, son, nothing will happen." Lin Butler said with a smile.

Along the way, looking at the green wheat fields on the side of the road made people feel a lot better.

In this way, it took nearly an hour for everyone to finish the journey of more than ten miles.

"My lord, Zhouzhuang is ahead." Lin Butler pointed to Zhuangzi in front of him.

"Well, let's go in directly!" Lin Xuan said.

"My lord, let's go directly to Lizheng's house. He usually helps in collecting rent." Lin Butler suggested.

"Okay, Lin Bo, you can lead the way." Lin Xuan nodded and said.

It was winter, and the weather was cold, and Murakami didn't see anyone.

However, Lin Xuan and the others were quite large, and there was a lot of movement. Many people heard the movement, opened the door and saw soldiers in armor, and closed the door again in fright.

Lin Xuan didn't mean to explain. They will naturally know their identities when they post something later.

Lin Xuan was still very interested in the villages in ancient times, and looked around along the way.But after looking at it, Lin Xuan lost interest, it was too broken.

Lin Xuan had a deeper understanding of the lives of the ancient people in his heart.

Not long after, Lin Xuan and the others came to a family under the leadership of Lin Butler.

Although this family is much better than others, it is not much better.

Lin Xuan was a little surprised. Li Zheng was also a village head in later generations, so how could he be so poor?

Zhou Mancang heard some movement outside the courtyard, opened the door and came out to check. He was startled when he saw a group of soldiers in armor.

He was relieved when he saw Steward Lin, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, Steward Lin, you are here!"

"Zhou Lizheng, this is my son, the Boss of Jingyang County proclaimed by His Majesty, he came to Zhuangzi to see everyone." Lin Butler pointed to Lin Xuan and introduced.

Butler Lin's tone was full of pride. He used to be the butler of the Merchant's House, but now it's different.

Hearing this, Zhou Mancang saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen Uncle!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand and asked, "How many people are there in Zhouzhuang now?"

"Uncle, there are 530 people in Zhouzhuang now." Zhou Mancang replied without thinking.

Only so few people?
Get rid of the old and the young, and that's even less.

And his family has more than 2000 mu of land, and the people have some in their own homes. Doesn’t it mean that each person has to plant tens of mu of land?
Lin Xuan frowned and asked, "Can you grow so many lands?"

"Uncle, we can plant it here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Steward Lin. Our rent is not missing at all." Zhou Mancang was taken aback. He thought Lin Xuan was going to take the land back.

"Young master, Zhouzhuang can indeed be planted here, and the land has not been left unused." Lin Butler said.

Lin Xuan knew that he was thinking too much. If Zhouzhuang couldn't grow it, Lin Dongyang would not give them all the land to grow it.

And it is enough to scatter wheat on the ground, it is not as troublesome as rice.

"I was worrying too much, Zhou Lizheng, I brought some things to distribute to the people, and you inform the people that each family will send someone to pick up the things." Lin Xuan said.

"Uncle, sit inside first, and I'll inform them right away." Zhou Mancang said happily.
