Although Chenjiacun is dozens of miles away from Kyoto and still under the emperor's feet, Chenjiacun is notoriously poor.
The villagers were barely clothed and had no food to eat.
As we all know, the only things in this world that can be gained for nothing are poverty and age.
But today, the atmosphere in Chenjia Village seems to be a little different. Since yesterday, news has come to the village that anyone who previously borrowed money from the Jia Mansion can now receive a large amount of compensation: starting from twenty taels of silver.
How much is twenty taels? One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand cash. The price of salt has dropped a lot in recent years, to 80 cash per catty. Before, it could sell for up to 200 cash per catty.
As for what is the daily staple food of the villagers?
I never eat the rice I grow at home. After paying the taxes, I usually exchange the rice for millet, millet, and bran. On weekdays, I also go to the fields and pick some wild vegetables and leaves from the mountains to eat.
In the past, one tael of silver could buy two stones of rice.
After decades of hard work, sincerity, and hard work, the Supreme Emperor managed it day and night. Now at this time of year, two taels of silver can buy an entire stone of rice, which is one hundred and twenty kilograms.
He is worthy of being an emperor through the ages with his literary, political and martial arts skills.
One kilogram of rice can be exchanged for two to three kilograms of coarse grains. That is to say, twenty taels of silver can be exchanged for three to four thousand kilograms of coarse grains.
Generally, people eat two meals a day. If they eat sparingly, cook the porridge a little thinner, and add more wild vegetables and leaves, a family of five or six people can only eat two or three kilograms of food a day.
If they save the money on food, they can stop working for more than a year. If the family has enough food, they can buy a house for their son and marry a wife to continue the family line.
Make a fortune!
But the people from the Jia family have a condition, that is, all the villagers must agree to sign the understanding document before they can all get the money. If any family does not sign, then no one will get the money.
And if they all sign, not only will those who have borrowed money receive twenty taels, but those who have never borrowed money will also receive one tael of advice as a warning fee.
This Jia family is so grand!
Chen Sanniang sat at the door of her house with an expressionless face.
The daughter-in-law was arrested and sold to a prostitute, and the son went to the county government office to find an explanation, but was beaten and thrown out. After that, the son went directly to Kyoto to file a complaint against the imperial court. According to the law, if you file a complaint beyond the level of the government, you will be punished first.
Thirty years later, he was beaten half to death, and now he can only lie on the bed, unable to even move.
Forgiveness for twenty taels of silver? Absolutely impossible!
Now that the Jia family has sent someone to ask for a letter of understanding, it only means that they have offended a bigger person. She wants those high-ranking people to die with her whole family!
"Sanniang, just sign it. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your son and his wife. Think about it, for twenty taels of silver, you can redeem your wife and find a doctor.
Maybe your son will be cured?" The village chief next to him persuaded him earnestly.
As the village chief, if the matter is completed, he can get fifty taels, so he will naturally do his best.
Chen Sanniang: "Redemption? Redemption, if you can guarantee that no one in the village will gossip? If they gossip, I will kill you at the door of your house. Do you agree?"
The village chief hesitated, even a little aggrieved. He was doing this for Sanniang's good.
Having a daughter-in-law can at least take care of her and San'er. Otherwise, how many winters can the two of them survive?
Besides, those women in the village usually talk about their families and family matters when they have nothing to do. This daughter-in-law will definitely take care of her when she walks around the brothel.
However, I won’t lose any ground by saying this.
Next to her, Aunt Chen was also advising: "Sanniang, just do it, all the fields in my family have been taken away. If we don't have the fields, next year our family of five will have to starve to death!"
…
For a long time, the village chief and several women were scolded with saliva all over their faces. It was obvious that Chen Sanniang had taken the weight and was determined to kill them all.
At the entrance of the village, Lai Da saw the village chiefs approaching and asked eagerly: "What do you mean, does the old woman agree?"
With so many families, 20 taels per family, the total compensation is almost thousands to tens of thousands taels. Naturally, Wang Xifeng does not have so much money. But if she can't deal with Jin Wuwei, she can't deal with servants like them?
A few days ago, Sister Feng directly took the city guards that Wang Ziteng had asked for, and surrounded the houses of several housekeepers and mothers-in-law. Then they settled accounts and ransacked the houses.
In the past few years, Lai Da bought a yard in the inner city of Kyoto and donated a county magistrate to his son. How could he pay so much money? No, the entire family was arrested.
Sister Feng directly promised that their housekeeper and mother-in-law would be divided into several villages each. If anyone failed to complete the task, the whole family would be buried with her.
Isn't this bullying?
What does Sister Feng's land loan have to do with them? They are just greedy for a little money from the family.
"No, Butler Lai, then Sanniang will not agree to it!"
Listening to the complaints from several people, Butler Lai frowned more and more.
The village chief suddenly came up with a brilliant idea and whispered into Lai Da's ear: "Butler Lai, I heard that if the whole family dies, all you need to do is build a grave for them?"
Butler Lai pushed him away directly: "Don't talk nonsense, death doesn't count now. And if someone dies, Jin Wuwei will come to investigate in person.
Whoever takes action will die!"
Hearing this, the village chief's heart trembled. Jinwuwei has become a big mountain in the hearts of these gentry and petty officials over the years, especially around Kyoto. They seem to know everything.
Can they still hide and cry?
After a moment of silence, Lai Da thought hard, and finally sighed and said, "Go and tell Sanniang that our Jia family will help her redeem her daughter-in-law, and then ask a famous doctor to treat her son, and then arrange for their way out."
Yin, if you change your life in another village, your money will be increased to fifty taels!
If she doesn’t agree to this, then she will wait for her family to be reunited!”
Hearing this, the mother-in-law next to me was not happy. Why did their family get 20 taels, and the third wife was treating illnesses and moving, so she could still have 50 taels?
"Butler Lai, I..." The mother-in-law paused when she saw the serious expression on the butler's face.
Butler Lai sneered: "People want to die, do you want to die? If you are not afraid, I will help you. Hum, anyway, I have already obtained your family's document of understanding!"
If you can't deal with people who risk their lives, why can't you deal with you little bastards?
village head:.
Mother-in-law:.
When can poor people like them really stand up!
Lin Mansion.
In the garden, in the center of the small lake, in the small pavilion and on the stone table, Lin Daiyu and the little yellow cat were on one side, staring at each other.
Absorbing the power of the seven emotions in the mortal world every day, the girl not only greatly increases her strength and soul power, but also gradually acquires some strange abilities.
For example: arousing emotions, illusion.
The word "emotion" comes from the heart, and as soon as a thought arises, an illusion arises. The illusion of Taixu arises from emotion, and is transformed by thoughts, and exists in the heart when thoughts arise.
Possessing the illusion of Taixu, constantly comprehending and referring to it, Lin Daiyu can naturally use illusions on ordinary people at a glance.
For example, in the morning, she asked Xueyan to take care of the little yellow cat in her dream. Then today, Xueyan worked very hard and even laughed like a bell from time to time.
But in front of this cat, Lin Daiyu encountered difficulties.
Why does this cat look like a kitten no matter whether you look at it with your eyes or with your heart? Not to mention angry, even if you pay too much attention, you will find that there is nothing there, nothing at all.
Then how can she use illusions to deal with others?
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin, I got all the letters of understanding!" Wang Xifeng suddenly rushed over and shouted anxiously.
During these days, she never had a good night's sleep. Sometimes when her husband Jia Lian fell asleep, she would wake him up and bite him, and he would take some supplements to make him feel better.
No, within a few days, Jia Lian became thinner and even began to study knowledge. He even didn't even look at the maid Ping'er who had always been in the room but could not find him.
When she walked into the pavilion and saw a man and a cat still looking at each other without blinking, Wang Xifeng was a little curious.
"Sister Lin, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm competing with my family, Lele." Lin Daiyu said indifferently.
"Who's winning?"
"Humph, of course I am slightly better. Didn't you see that Lele was controlled so much that I couldn't speak?" Lin Daiyu was very confident.
Little yellow cat:???
Wang Xifeng remained silent.
When will kittens start talking again?
"By the way, Sister Feng, are you ready?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously.
This person has an evil heart, and as far as she knows, it is quite difficult to get this letter of understanding, and it is even impossible if she is the only one.
Although those civilians have no power or influence, as long as someone is willing to stir up trouble and has a chance to make a fortune, they can't throw away their lives.
"I got it. It's all here. Take a look at it, Sister Lin." Wang Xifeng handed over a stack of documents in her hand, her eyes watery and full of expectation.
Lin Daiyu took it and put it aside without looking at it.
"Sister Feng, don't worry, let's have a cup of tea first. Your Majesty's uncle just sent someone to deliver the Mingqian Longjing."
Wang Xifeng was stunned and had to sit down.
Nowadays, if someone is a knifeman and she is a fish, let alone drinking tea, she can even stick her butt out. If she is caught in jail, she will be doomed for the rest of her life.
According to law, as long as a woman goes to court, she will basically take off her pants and be beaten without saying a word.
If this is the case, then don't talk about her coming back to be a young mistress in the future. For the Jia family, such a daughter-in-law will have a grave because Jia Lian has a conscience.
After drinking tea for a while, Wang Xifeng became even more restless, pursed her lips, shook her body, blinked, crossed her legs, kept drinking tea, and stopped talking. She was not as confident as before.
"Miss, there are Jinwu guards outside asking to see you." Xue Yan came over to report.
"Let him in."
"yes."
After a while, a Jinwu guard came in, bent down and bowed: "Greetings to Lord Lin."
When Wang Xifeng heard the words "Jinwuwei", her whole body tensed up, her legs clamped, her little hands trembled uneasily under her skirt, and she quietly raised her head to look at Lin Daiyu.
I saw that this girl was not at all flustered when faced with a name that all officials in the world were afraid of. Instead, she was as calm as a mountain, as if nothing could arouse her emotions.
Gujing Wubo, there is a slight smile on the girl's face most of the time.
"Excuse me, Captain Zhan, where are you coming from?" Lin Daiyu seemed a little tired now. She held her chin with one hand and tilted her head and asked curiously.
Guard Zhan took out two documents.
"Reporting to County Master Lin, Commander Lin has ordered me to read out two sentences to Wang Xifeng."
Wang Xifeng clamped her legs tighter and her body was shaking violently.
"Read it."
"Yes. First: the Forbidden Army guard Wang Ziwen was abusing his private power. The supreme order led people to rush into the homes of Lai Da, Lai Er, Lin Zhixiao and others. They have been dismissed from their posts. The Jinwu Guards entered the house to investigate whether they were suspected of forming a clique for personal gain.
.
Second: The sinful woman Wang Xifeng made private loans at high interest rates and persecuted the villagers. However, the ancestors of the Jia family had outstanding achievements and served the country. However, she had a heart to repent and was forgiven by the villagers. She was given a lighter sentence and was sent to the harem to be baptized.
Fang Laundry March."
Wang Xifeng was startled, then overjoyed, it was finally over!
Waiting is the most torturous thing.
The young woman cried and laughed, stood up, knelt down directly facing the direction of Kyoto, and kowtowed three times.
"Sinful woman Wang Xifeng, thank you, Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
The Jin Wuwei gently placed the verdict on the ground, then clasped his fists and left.
Wang Xifeng knelt down three times and knelt down nine times, then stood up, holding the verdict, and was so happy that she finally couldn't help it, lay down on the stone table, and cried loudly.
Lin Daiyu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked in the direction of the palace from a distance, and began to think about His Majesty's uncle's methods.
During these days, I spent every night in the illusory realm of Taixu, absorbing the seven emotions of all living beings, and naturally experienced the dreams of many scholars. It can be said that I looked through history books and read through the Six Classics.
Emperor Qing's method moisturizes things silently, delicately but directly to the point, very powerful.
After crying for a while, Wang Xifeng finally raised her head. With her intelligence, she naturally realized something. As soon as she did it, Jin Wuwei's verdict was delivered. This was definitely not a coincidence.
Moreover, a distant cousin of the Wang family was also involved at this time, and she was afraid that there would be another wave of bloodshed.
Could it be that everything he and others have done is under the eyes of today? This Holy Emperor is really terrifying and terrifying, not at all like the gentle and kind-hearted Supreme Being.
"Sister Lin, thank you this time!" Wang Xifeng said gratefully.
After this incident, she realized that even his second uncle, Wang Ziteng, who was already a first-grade nine-side controller, seemed unreliable.
"Meow~" the little yellow cat jumped in front of her.
You're welcome, this is what a shit shoveling place should do. If you want to thank me, send ten or eight maids to wait for you... Meow.
Before she could finish her words, Lin Daiyu shoved the little yellow cat into her arms.
"Sister Feng, the relationship between you and me is as it should be."
Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and smiled. Sister Lin, who was as steady as a mountain, seemed to lose her composure only when facing this little kitten.
In this world, one thing really comes down to another.
"By the way, where is Sister Xue?" Lin Daiyu suddenly asked curiously.
Wang Xifeng knows everything he knows without saying anything.
"I have been busy with my own affairs these days, but I seem to have heard from Ping'er in the room that Aunt Xue is talking to the housekeeper of the Prince's Palace in Beijing about Sister Xue marrying into the Palace. I heard that the dowry will cost one hundred thousand yuan.
Two!"
Lin Daiyu was stunned. It seemed that Aunt Xue and Sister Xue were still reluctant to part with money.
Little did they know, that money was just the cause of their deaths.
King Beijing with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness?
And there was another thing that made her even more curious.
Sister Xue got very close to cousin Baoyu during these years in Jia Mansion, but now she is going to marry someone else, so my cousin should be in a good mood.
