"To be honest, it's the fault of the lone servants. No matter how loyal the family servant is, he needs to be constantly urged by the master. He is lazy and lazy, and is lazy to investigate and ask questions at all times. First, settle their greedy land and include it in the field book before talking about it!"

The managers of Wangzhuang are all slaves of the Zhou royal family. If they do some service work as grooms and kids in the royal city, they have a fixed monthly salary. If they get the master's appreciation, there are additional rewards, but these slaves are asked to manage the farm.

It’s complicated. Humans are beneficial animals. They must achieve benefits in the long run and steadily. It is impossible to do without incentive rewards and punishments.

These managers who handled large amounts of land and rent and taxes have managed Wangzhuang to a prosperous life through hard work, but as slaves without personal freedom, they cannot have their own private property, which is definitely contrary to the principle of human nature.

The key point is that after investigation and settlement, the number of fields embezzled by these people is limited, which is not unforgivable. Moreover, Wangzhuang is well managed and not particularly outrageous borers, at most they are rice worms at home. What’s important is the poisons

Like a snake and a worm in the country-----

It was snowing heavily, and a cart with curtains broke out of the quiet palace.

Looking at the heavy snow that had lasted for more than ten days since the beginning of winter, Zhao Bohu was inexplicably a little melancholy. Ji Hu returned to the royal city last night and did not know him, the prime minister of the government. This is a strange thing.

.Never mind, I was afraid that it would be difficult to disturb the emperor's rest late at night, so I came to the palace to visit him at that time. The eunuch Jia actually turned away from him, saying that the king had been working hard for days and was slightly injured.

I needed to rest. But in the past, Ji Hu was the first to call him to ask about anything.

Could it be that something happened during the emperor's journey to the west? Is the king of chariot and horses frightened and fell into a trap? This matter was clearly an accident. With his understanding of Ji Hu, he would never be suspicious of himself. So,

What exactly is it?

The young emperor and Zhao Bohu have always been friendly. In the past, the monarch and ministers also had discriminations, or even embarrassing arguments. However, no matter what, Ji Hu always said bluntly, and Zhao Bohu did not look for him.

He would come to "teach" and he would come to "seek help". Even at the most difficult moment, Ji Hu admitted to Zhao Bohu resolutely, even if it was cold and cold. Once upon a time, he would avoid him.

What is the reason?

Behind him, there was a sound of horse hooves from far to near, and the north wind blew, and a faint call came: "Ahu--"

Many friends! Zhao Bohu called Yufu to stop the car and lifted the curtain. He saw a yellow horse racing in front of him and hurriedly called out: "Ziliang is traveling in the snow. Is there anything important? Get in the car and talk!

”

"No! I still have to go back to the palace to be on duty, so I don't have time to say in detail." Many friends looked anxious and leaned closer to say something to Zhao Bohu. As Zhao Bohu listened, his handsome face was covered with a look of anxiety.

A dark cloud emerged, first confused, then angry. After a long time, he asked, "Be serious about this?"

Duoyou looked solemn: "I was also confused, but then I carefully investigated the black tenants and sent someone to Weinan to investigate. It turns out that way."

"The strange king returned to the palace and refused to see me." Zhao Bohu's fists were clenched tightly under his wide sleeves. He thought for a moment and said, "I must thoroughly investigate this matter, give the king and give the world an explanation.

!I will definitely clean up the doors one by one for those slaves who bully the people.”

Under the guidance of the maid, Zhao Ji hurried to the inner study room, feeling very anxious and confused. Usually, at this time, her husband would stay in the large study room of the outer courtyard and take charge of state affairs with his subordinates, and never appeared in the inner study room.

But today, I first summoned Uncle Mi, the family's priest in the outer courtyard, and then moved to the inner study to summon himself. Something must have happened.

The huge snowflakes circling and flying, the palace, attic, garden, pond and pond of the Duke's Mansion were trapped in a vast white veil, and a three-point freshness was added between the heaven and the earth. When I was about to cross the arch bridge, I stopped and breathed a long breath, and the coldness was cold.

The snowflakes were stretched against her cheeks, and she felt calm and slowly walked across the small stone bridge that had just begun to accumulate snow.

"Madam is here." Uncle Mi came to greet her, but deliberately avoided her inquiring gaze.

Seeing that a lot of snow was shaking off her cloak, Zhao Bohu, with a pale face, was slightly soft-hearted and pointed to the case beside him: "Madam, please take a seat. The burning furnace is too small, so you don't need to wear a loose clothes."

"Even if you are strong, you can't just have a burning furnace in the huge study." Zhao Ji took his seat and sighed: "I don't know what happened to summon me?"

"The cold wakes up, the hot flies." Zhao Bohu ordered Uncle Mi: "Put the newly cooked ginger tea to the wife."

Uncle Mi presented the teacup and was about to go down, but Zhao Bohu called out: "Let's stay. For the matter just now, you still need your evidence."

"No." Uncle Mi felt a sense of silence, but he agreed that it sounded unrest on the surface. This was his necessary cultivation as the prime minister of the Prime Minister.

The big teacup in front of him was steaming, and Zhao Bohu looked at Zhao Ji with bright eyes: "Madam, the head of the management company in Jingtian, Weinan is Yingda. Is it the slave you gave to you?"

Zhao Ji was shocked and instinctively replied: "Husband, when I first got married, I brought forty-five servants from the foreign country's house, all of which had a dowry list as evidence. Husband looked at it and found out, what? This person was like?

Is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Bohu revealed his anger and threw two lists on the case, pointing to one of them and said, "This list is the backdrop of your dowry, and there is no such person on the other list. And this other list is the one you have done.

," he pointed to another thin bamboo piece and said, "It is Yingda's slave alchemy book. When he entered the palace, you had already given birth to Sui'er, but recorded it as your slave? You said, he is yours.

Do you have a dowry slave or Meng Ji's?"

Since I got married, I have always been respectful to my husband. I have never been so harsh and harsh. I know that things are not good, so I must have caused a big disaster. If I don’t tell the truth, I will not be able to pass the test. So,

He made up his mind and said bluntly: "My husband, this is indeed Meng Ji's dowry slave. He is Meng Ji's wet nurse. The couple came together with the dowry. As a child, they watched my sister grow up.

The big one is not more than other slaves. Meng Ji was close to them and wanted to find a good place for them, so he asked me to change the slaves of him and his wife to my name. I think this is not a big deal.

Then he agreed."

"Don't be fooled!" Zhao Bohu slapped his face: "How can you act like this? The well field is intertwined with the self-cultivated people and the king's field. How can you pay the position of the head of the village easily? If you don't understand this kind of person, you agree gently

?Do you know, this Yingda is in the Jingtian of Weinan, bullying men and women, and forcing good people to overthrow the land of good people, how many lives are owed? Now, it has come to the emperor. You said, as the chief minister, I have such a big political situation.

What face does the family slave have to stand under the king's stairs?"

Zhao Ji was so shocked that his face was pale, and he knelt down and cried, "I have a shallow understanding. I thought this matter was not important. My husband was busy with the country and the country, so I took it lightly. I didn't want to cause such a disaster, it was my fault. Please punish me.

.”

"I can't blame you." Zhao Bohu took a deep breath, his face calmed down as usual: "My concubine is humble, not to mention that she is a slave who is a concubine, and she will not change her position in the name of her wife. How can she be the head of the housekeeper? How can she earn money?

Household property? This is Meng Ji's selfishness, so he should not be spared easily. Uncle Mi,"

Uncle Mi responded with a crisp and bright voice, and Zhao Bohu ordered: "Meng Ji is now in a confinement in the backyard. Without a token, no one is allowed to enter and exit." He glanced at Zhao Ji and added: "Madam is no exception."

.”

Zhao Bohu said as he looked out and walked away, shouting "Prepare the car!"

Zhao Ji did not dare to chase him out, and asked Uncle Mi who came to support him in a low voice, "Where is the prime minister going?"

"The Prime Minister wants to go to Weinan to deal with the matter in the well field. The matter is very urgent. Even the palace has no time to report it, so he only submitted a letter of apology to the emperor."

"Oh, it's all me who have caused trouble for my husband." Zhao Ji looked guilty.

"Madam, don't blame yourself. The Prime Minister still understands the hard work of the wife in charge of the gift. But------" Uncle Mi murmured: "Madam occasionally mentioned that the lady is kind-hearted and virtuous, that is---

-----So soft-hearted."

Zhao Ji looked at her husband's back as he walked away and stood there thinking for a long time.

"------Is this true? Have you found out clearly?" Zhou Gongding asked slowly with his eyes narrowed.

"I have asked carefully, it's true." A slightly fat old man stood on the bench and replied in a low voice: "Duke Zhao Guo burned the boxes of IOUs in a fire, and the shouts by the IOUs by the IOUs by the fire.

It can be heard a few miles away. The most amazing thing is to take Ying Da and the leader who did the most evil to the ditch on the spot and chop off his head immediately. The blood dyed Chengqu red."

In the study room ten feet square, there are tall beech stands on three large walls, and the top is filled with bamboo slips. There are a wide variety of bookmarks hanging on silk, including jade, wood, and copper.

-The sun was bright outside, and it shone into the house along the high window, making the ink fragrance overflow.

Duke Zhou has passed the age of knowing his destiny, but he is still tall and has strong bones. He is still ashamed of the habit he developed when he was a teenager when he is free. He feels so uncomfortable if he doesn't enter the study for a day. At this time, he is sitting on a bench next to the window.

, repeatedly mixing with the red sealing mud in the topaz cup, and standing beside him is the slightly fat manager Lao Mei Bo.

Duke Zhou put down the copper-tune film and stroking his beard and sighed: "These people are too greedy. Over the years, Zhaogong's mansion has been lenient to the people and implemented the tenants' "no additional rent in a good year, and no tax exemption in a disaster year".

Who doesn't know about Wang Jin? But Ying Da dared to do such a bad thing. He became a manager of Jingtian for two or three years, which made the tenants unable to have a life, and he also lost a thousand-dollar loans. How could this be done?

What absurd thing! The laws of heaven and the country are hard tolerated! It should be killed!"

"It's because he's too greedy. He's originally a dowry slave of a concubine. What are the knowledge and abilities of a person under the human race? Once he's in charge, he won't plunder it to death? I'm afraid that mosquitoes will also want to scrape two taels of meat off their legs.

!” Mei Bo echoed.
