Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 228: Twice as Well

For a moment, Li Xin was dumbfounded.

Clam? There is such a thing? Didn’t I all agree to the rent-free this year, and it’s so strange that the farmer voluntarily repents and asks to pay the rent back?

Seeing that Li Xin remained silent for a while, Zhang Quanfu thought that he was worried that the villagers would have difficulties in life after paying the rent. Dang Li patted his chest and said proudly: "My lord, don't worry! The rent of our lord's family is not high in the first place." , even if you make up the payment, everyone can afford it now, and there won't be any difficulties!"

Li Xin rolled his eyes helplessly, pouted his mouth and said, "What's the matter with you guys? Are you not comfortable living a good life? You just had a full meal for a few days, and you are showing off to your prince and me. It’s rare for me to be generous and waive your rent. Now you still want to pay the bank, you can pay it, but I don’t like your small rent. If you want to pay it, you have to pay at least twice. !"

Li Xin also said casually, where did he really want to collect any rent? It's just trying to confuse Zhang Quanfu with words and refuse his unreasonable request in the simplest way.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was slightly unexpected.

Zhang Quanfu, as Li Xin expected, showed a embarrassed expression first. However, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll go and talk to the folks, it shouldn't be a problem."

What the hell? Doubling is not a problem?

Li Xin suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the development speed of Lantian County during this period of time. Or could it be that the rent that my family had previously set was really too low?

Damn it, regardless of what is going on, it's Li Xin's turn to not know what to say.

He just said that he would double the rent, but Zhang Quanfu agreed, so what can he say? Could it be doubled again, to quadruple the rent? Get a ball of yarn.

Chen Youlan knew that Li Xin would not be able to accept the rent, seeing the unfavorable prince next to him was so deflated, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

In the end, Li Xin had no choice but to play tricks, saying: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't like your rent, I don't want it."

After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left.

This group of people is a little too simple, it's really stupid to think of repaying the kindness with a little money! Anyway, out of sight, out of sight, hum!

Chen Youlan originally had a small appetite, so she was already full after two mouthfuls, so she got up and followed behind Li Xin. Xiaoling also wanted to follow, but was held back by Run Niang, who was a big kid. Wang Gui even sat on the seat in a godly manner without moving, and he didn't even order the guards of the palace to follow. Because he knew that the hidden guards must have followed, and there was no need to send more people to disturb his prince and his wife.

Li Xin and Chen Youlan walked side by side on the country road under the clear sky. There were either lovely houses on both sides, or the bare fields after the autumn harvest, which looked a bit lonely. Although it is a pity that it is not a vibrant scene, the scene in front of you may not be uneasy.

"You look very happy today." Chen Youlan said with a smile.

Li Xin stretched his waist, and asked with a smile, "Is there?"

The answer seems somewhat obvious. The two laughed tacitly.

"It's really relaxing and happy to be with these simple people." Li Xinxin said in an intoxicated tone. After finishing speaking, he pointed to an empty lot not far away and said, "In a few years, I will build a few houses there."

Chen Youlan asked with interest: "What are you using it for?"

"Be a school." Li Xin said proudly.

Chen Youlan remembered that Li Xin had said this before.

"Do you want all the children in the village to go to school, take the imperial examination, and become officials?" she asked with a smile.

Li Xin shook his head, and said, "No. The imperial examination is too difficult, and most people will never pass it in their lifetime. There is no need for them to waste time learning those useless Four Books and Five Classics."

Chen Youlan subconsciously wanted to refute the Four Books and Five Classics, but immediately remembered that Li Xin had preached to her that the Confucian classics were useless and that poetry and books were harmful to the country, and then contacted Li Xin's actions all the time. Uh, Well, if someone said in front of Chen Youlan how useless the Four Books and Five Classics are, then she would definitely refute him to the brim, but when the person who said this was Li Xin, she seemed not even qualified to speak, so she could only hold back I don't know if this silence represents acquiescence or silent refusal.

Li Xin had long thought that the primary school opened in Lantian County would teach the children in the village the basics of literacy and counting. After all, there are many children who are old and have wild tempers, so they may not be able to study hard. Wait until they have learned the basics, and then figure it out.

Those who don't want to learn can rely on this ability to read and break characters to make a living; those who want to take the imperial examination, Li Xin can also recommend famous teachers to them; if they are really lucky, there are one or two who are interested in science, then Li Xin Then you can consider writing a few more textbooks, maybe you can teach a few future pioneers in the scientific field of Datang?
