Including many great families of the current dynasty also have fiefs, these families rely on these fiefs to become top nobles, just like the Du family also has fiefs outside! Half of the tax revenue in these fiefdoms goes to the treasury, and the other half goes to the fiefdom lords. Because of this, many nobles are very concerned about the location of their fiefdoms. The richer the place, the more money it will naturally earn! In addition, the feudal lord can also establish a private army of his own in his own territory. Of course, since it is a private army, all expenses have to be paid by himself, and there is a limit on the number! This is also the reason why Du Long cares so much about the fiefdom. It is his future small treasury plus sphere of influence, so naturally he attaches great importance to it! "Hee hee! Who told you that you started thinking about that dowry before I got married?" Princess Huofeng smiled, obviously joking with Du Long. What she said was correct. Calculated, this fief should be the princess's dowry, and in the end everyone is also her, but usually this kind of fief is controlled by the consort. "Hey, I'm not thinking about your dowry either! I'm just curious! Yes, it's definitely just curiosity!" Du Long said with a cheeky smile. "Cut!" Princess Huofeng disapproved of his insincere words, and turned to pretend to be mysterious: "Do you want to know why my father rewarded us with Fengli County?" "Do you know the reason?" Du Long's eyes lit up involuntarily. "That's natural!" Princess Huofeng proudly said: "It's about my future glory and wealth, so naturally I have to care about the situation of the fief. For this reason, I went to the Supreme Emperor's grandfather yesterday to ask where a fief would be better, but he recommended it. here!"
"Dare you ask for this fiefdom that you don't want to shit? Could it be that the Supreme Emperor lied to you?" Du Long whispered with a sudden realization. "What is a fief where birds don't shit?" Princess Huofeng obviously didn't like Du Long's wording, she raised her mouth high, and said angrily with an angry look: "Hmph! Grandpa the Supreme Emperor loves Xiaofeng so much, He won't lie to people!" "Hey, Xiaofeng, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you!" Seeing that she was a little angry, Du Long could only laugh along with him and said, "By the way, the Supreme Emperor, did the old man say why he recommended you to be a fief in Fengli County?" ?” "Grandpa Taishang Huang said that those good places have been rewarded for so many years. If you choose some fiefdoms that are not as high as the same, it is better to choose a place with more potential. He also said that Fengli County has a lot of land and resources. It just never really took off! Once a couple of major issues are ironed out, it's definitely going to be a great place to make money!" "Oh! It seems that I was hit by my grandfather's suggestion. If you want to make Fengli County more lucrative, you have to work hard on your own! Forget it, let's go there every once in a while!" Du Long nodded Then there is a decision. One of them, the old and the two young, were whispering about the issue of the fief, and some people couldn't help coming up to toast, so they could only stop this topic for the time being, after all, the future is long! Now that someone took the lead to toast, others immediately followed, including officials at all levels, relatives and friends, as well as students and tutors from the Royal Academy. The old dean and his wife both came to add to the fun. When the two elders came up to toast hand in hand, Du Long, who had been drinking for a long time, was so flattered that he pulled Princess Huofeng to stand up, and had a big drink with them before finishing. During this period, Du Long and Huo Feng also accepted the toasts from Fan, Li, and Zhao's family with smirks on their faces. They will attend your engagement banquet regardless of previous suspicions, so they can't show their faces without grace, right? In short, after the entire engagement banquet, he was only busy dealing with the toasts of the guests. Fortunately, now that his strength has reached the second level of the cyclone, his drinking capacity has also increased, and the alcohol evaporates in his body very quickly. But even so, he was so dizzy from drinking in the end that he didn't know how to get back to the new house, and he didn't even remember whether there was a bridal chamber. "Husband! Get up quickly! The sun is shining on your buttocks!" A sharp cry came from the ear, waking Du Long up from his dream. Shaking his still dizzy head, he opened his eyes and saw a big face in front of him, only to see Princess Huofeng looking at him with excitement and giggling. "Huh? Xiaofeng, why are you here?" Du Long asked a strange question in a daze. Princess Huofeng quit immediately, pouted her mouth and pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! You used to drive people away all day long and didn't let me stay by your side, but now you're engaged! People are very angry, and the consequences are serious!" Hearing the word "engagement", Du Long came to his senses. He dared to feel that after his marriage was annulled, he now has a fiancée, and she is also the current Princess Huofeng! "Hey! What's the matter, it's not that I haven't gotten used to it just after getting engaged!" Du Long realized that he had accidentally said the wrong thing, and quickly laughed along with him. "Huh! Let's not be an example!" Princess Huofeng was pretending to be angry, seeing what he said, naturally she had nothing to say, so she continued to urge: "Hurry up and wash up! You drank from afternoon to night yesterday, my God! You can drink too much! You haven't stopped for a whole day, and I advise you to drink less, and it's even worse!" "Did I blame you? Why don't I remember?" Du Long pretended to have amnesia, but flashed in his mind yesterday that when others toasted, he would not refuse anyone. Later, Xiaofeng persuaded himself not to drink too much and was rejected loudly screen.
"Oh, forget it! People don't care about drunks!" Huo Feng could only lament, and waited for Du Long to get up and change clothes. She, a rich princess, had never done such a thing, but she couldn't help. It was a waste of time but helped a lot. In the midst of confusion, a thought flashed through Du Long's mind, and he couldn't hold back for a moment before asking: "That...Xiaofeng! Last night...we didn't have that last night, did we?" "Bah, bah! Then what are you a big-headed ghost! I went back to the palace to rest last night. I just came here from the palace just now, and found that you, a lazy pig, are still sleeping!" Naturally, Princess Huofeng understood Du Long's words The meaning in the middle, explained with a little embarrassment. "Oh..." Du Long pretended to be disappointed and casually replied. "Stinky boy! You have bad thoughts! Hmph, look at you, tell me honestly, do you have something with Qinglian?" Princess Huofeng's eyes showed a dangerous light. Obviously, as long as Du Long dared to Say yes, and she will definitely pounce on him and tear him to pieces. "ah!" Unexpectedly, a beautiful figure just walked into the door of the wing room, and Xia Qinglian walked into the room carrying the washing water. After hearing the meaning of Princess Huofeng's words, she was obviously frightened, her feet softened and almost dropped the basin in her hand Throw it out. "Ha! Qinglian, are you here?" Du Long was facing the door of the wing room, and at a glance, he saw Xia Qinglian blushing and looking at a loss with a pot of hot water. Get rid of the embarrassment for her. "Mmm! Young Master, Qinglian brought hot water to wash you up!" Xia Qinglian lowered her head, her voice was as low as that of a mosquito, and said respectfully to Huofeng, "Qinglian has met Princess Huofeng!" Huofeng quickly turned around to greet her, took the water basin from Qinglian, and said a little unhappy: "Qinglian! How many times have I told you? When there are no outsiders on weekdays, just call people by their names. How old are you? Are you disobedient?" "Qinglian, Qinglian doesn't dare!" Xia Qinglian still couldn't let go, with a reserved look on her face.
