Binding system, I can plant flowers and grass!

Shen Yalan nodded, "Not bad."

Lu Qianqian really couldn't accept such a result all at once, so she had let the Qingshan County Magistrate manage the county for the past few months, and it wouldn't be that she would still have to make arrangements in the end!

"The Qingshan County Magistrate should know about this, right?"

"You should know that even if this land is not allocated to you, you still have to pay taxes every year." Shen Yalan said.

That’s fine, that’s fine, Lu Qianqian felt slightly relieved.

The magistrate of Qingshan County has been in office for so many years, he shouldn't let you down.

"The most important issue now is not this. If you don't want a farm or something, you can just look around on your own land. If you like a place, you can take it and build it into a farm." Shen Yalan continued.

Lu Qianqian thought about it and it was a possible option. Qingshan County was not far from Tianyuan Prefecture, and it only took a day to get to the capital.

"Okay, I'll go over there and take a look. Please keep an eye on this side for me. I'd still like to buy some good farmland if there's one."

"it is good."

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

After leaving the Shen Mansion, Lu Qianqian directly asked Li Mu to go to the Qingshan County Government Office. She really didn't know anything that Shen Yalan said today.

She'd better find out, otherwise she wouldn't know when the time comes to pay taxes.

The most important point is the tax issue. Qingshan County includes all the towns and villages under it. The taxes paid by these places belong to her, Lu Qianqian. When the time comes, the magistrate of Qingshan County makes a false account for her, she will have no place to cry.

When she arrived at the Qingshan County Government Office and showed her token, soon after, the lawyer Li Yuan ran out.

"Greetings to Princess Qingling! I didn't know the princess would come so suddenly. I'm so rude."

This was Lu Qianqian's first time in Qingshan County. From the moment she entered the city, she found that the buildings and facilities here were much better than those in Yuanyi Town. It seemed that a county town close to the capital was not a poor place.

"Princess Qingling, please come in. The county magistrate is not in the yamen because of something. I have sent someone to invite him in."

Lu Qianqian nodded and followed Li Yuan into the county government office.

In addition to Lu Qianqian looking around, the bailiffs in the yamen were also paying attention to her.

This person is the master of their Qingshan County. All the people in Qingshan County are under her control.

"Princess Qingling, please have some tea!"

Not long after Lu Qianqian sat down, Zhang Zhifei came back from outside.

"Your humble servant greets the Princess of Qingling County!"

Lu Qianqian raised her hand, "You're welcome, sir!"

"The county lady came here today. Is there any instruction for you?" Zhang Zhifei felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why the county lady Qingling suddenly came here today?

Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "Sir, please sit down and we will talk slowly."

"Yes Yes Yes."

After Zhang Zhifei sat down, Lu Qianqian continued, "Master Zhang, I heard that the fiefdom needs to pay taxes to the higher authorities."

"Yes, County Princess." Zhang Zhifei said truthfully.

Lu Qianqian frowned slightly, "Then why didn't Lord Zhang mention this last time?"

Zhang Zhifei was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Qianqian, "The county lord doesn't know about this?"

Lu Qianqian was stunned. Looking at Zhang Zhifei's expression, it didn't seem like he was deliberately hiding it from her.

"I don't know that fiefdoms have to pay taxes."

Now, Zhang Zhifei was confused. He didn't know clearly that the Princess of Qingling County came today to question him, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Lu Qianqian.

"My Lord, I really didn't know that you didn't know about this. People who have fiefs in the Great Xia Kingdom have always had to pay taxes, it's just a matter of how much. I thought that you didn't come up with it in advance, and you thought that I could just pay according to the previous policy."

After listening to Zhang Zhifei's words, Lu Qianqian also understood.

"Don't be nervous, Master Zhang. I just came here to ask. After all, the tax is about to be paid, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome if I make a mistake."

Zhang Zhifei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Qianqian did not come to question him.

"Don't worry, County Lord. We have almost prepared the tax collection this time. Our Qingshan County is just a small place, and the tax we have to pay is not much. We collect taxes twice a year, in spring and autumn. After compiling them into books, we only need to hand over 60% to the court."

Seeing that Zhang Zhifei handled the situation really well, Lu Qianqian was very satisfied. Finally, she didn't have to do anything. She really wanted to retire, but day after day, it was either this or that, and she couldn't relax at all.

Now that she was named the Princess of Qingling County and given a fief, she thought that it would be fine if someone was in charge. But she didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns in it.

"Mr. Zhang, you've done a good job. How do we collect taxes from the people now?"

Zhang Zhifei responded fluently: "Farmers collect 80 kilograms of grain per mu of land, and merchants pay two taels of silver per store per month as tax."

Hearing this, Lu Qianqian frowned slightly. For the taxation in this era, all the taxes were designated by the higher-ups. It was especially unreasonable for farmers. If God didn't give them face one day and the crops they planted were not enough to pay the taxes, they would have to starve and pay the taxes. But it was very cost-effective for merchants. Each shop only had to pay two taels of silver a month. Anything you earned beyond two taels in a month was yours. So one hundred taels was also two taels, and one thousand taels was also two taels.

No wonder the merchants became richer and richer in the end. It was because the farmers did not have any skills and did not know how to do business.

Zhang Zhifei saw that Lu Qianqian's face looked a little strange when she heard this, and his heart sank, "County Master, is there something wrong?"

Lu Qianqian waved her hand and did not raise the question. After all, this is Daxia Kingdom, not Earth. You cannot report exactly how much money people make. Besides, there are still tax evasion and tax evasion on Earth, not to mention this ancient time when there is no technology at all.

"I'll have to trouble you again in the future, Master Zhang."

"It should be."

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, I wonder how much vacant land we have in Qingshan County. I want to choose a piece of land to plant some new plants."

Hearing the county lord say this, Zhang Zhifei's eyes lit up. He knew that the people in Xinghua Village had made a lot of money by following the county lord.

If the county lady plants new plants on the vacant land, then the Qingshan County government will have new income.

Zhang Zhifei quickly winked at Li Yuan who was standing beside him. Li Yuan smiled and stood up and said, "County Lady, although our Qingshan County is a county town, it has a good location. There is a large plain behind the mountain. Because it is close to the capital, many dignitaries like to buy properties here and come here to escape the summer heat when they have nothing to do."
