To be honest, although after a hundred years of development, the noble families in the capital have some problems in having children and slaves at home, but it is really rare for the slaves of the Rong family to be as cunning and powerful.
Regarding the performance of the Rongfu family in giving birth to children, it would not be exaggerated to say that "a slave bullies his master".
Not to mention the fact that the juniors in the mansion wanted to call Grandpa Lai when they saw Manager Lai, the quantity and quality of the properties purchased by the stewards outside were simply not something they could afford.
The old lady who was the backbone of the Rong Mansion was still alive. As a result, the Grand View Garden of the Provincial Courtyard was built, which directly drained the bottom of the Rong Mansion. The Lai family took the opportunity to build a large garden that was only inferior to the Grand View Garden in scale.
Where did the Lai family get the money to build their garden?
Didn't you get it by sucking blood from Rong Fu?
If you really want to say it, the Lai family is just a moth raised by the old lady@
There are also Lin Zhixiao, one of the four major stewards, and his daughter-in-law. Although they have the reputation of being deaf and dumb, they seem to ignore their honest duties in everything, but in fact?
Their daughter Xiaohong fell in love with Jia Yun and married him. Then when the Rong Mansion was ransacked, she could go to the prison temple as a foreigner to visit Wang Xifeng.
You must know that both Lin Zhixiao and his wife, as well as Xiao Hong, are children of the Rong Mansion, and their status and deeds are all in the hands of the master of the Rong Mansion.
According to the rules of the feudal ethics era, if a house is raided by the Rong Mansion, not only will the owner be unlucky, but the servants who are married and have children with the family will also be unlucky.
They will be sold again by the government, how can they be free?
In other words, either Lin Zhixiao's family escaped successfully before the Rong Mansion was in trouble, or their family had the ability to extricate themselves when the Rong Mansion was ransacked.
The Lai family, where the general manager Lai Da belongs, is even more exaggerated. When the second master of the government helped Ling return to his hometown, Lai Shangrong, Lai Da's youngest son, was still a local official, which shows the great power.
Needless to say, the remaining four stewards of Rong Mansion are definitely not simple things. They are all flesh-sucking and fat beings lying on Rong Mansion's body.
This was a wealthy slave raised under the eyes of the old lady. As for the stewards who managed the estates and other properties outside the city, they were no less generous.
The amount of land rent paid to Rongfu every year was getting smaller and smaller, and eventually they even stopped paying, and they even shamelessly asked for relief from Rongfu.
Okay, the fields in Cooperative Rongfu have been regarded as their own property by these outside managers. It's really ridiculous.
You must know that in an era of underdeveloped productivity, fields are definitely the most stable and valuable resource.
As long as the land resources are in hand, even if the family declines for a while, there is always a chance to rise again.
But once the farm resources are gone, the consequences of the family's decline will be quite terrible, and they will directly transform from the noble class to the lower class commoners.
Naturally, the person most responsible for causing such changes is the old lady, and Mrs. Wang has to bear secondary responsibility.
It’s understandable that the old lady is old and doesn’t want to mess around easily.
However, allowing the family to have children has caused their power to grow, and they will have to pay a higher price to deal with it. However, as they get older, the old lady loses the courage and determination to cut off the flesh from her body.
Of course, the presence of unruly slaves in Rong Mansion is naturally closely related to the incompetence of the men in the manor.
The Ning Mansion next door is the best example!
In The Story of Red Mansions, Jia Zhen, the head of the Ning Mansion, is a complete asshole.
Lai Er, the chief executive of Ning Mansion, is the younger brother of Lai Da, the chief executive of Rong Mansion. Naturally, he sucked a lot of blood from Ning Mansion.
However, Jia Zhen has a strong personality and good abilities. She firmly holds the power of the Ning Mansion. Although her sons and daughters seem to have dirty hands and feet, there is no one who dares to make an assassination.
Of course, the current Ning Mansion is headed by Jia Rong, and the children of the family have no chance to grow up.
Here in Kerong Mansion, the situation is as bad as ever.
The old lady protects the dignity of those children, but she uses the resources of the Rong Mansion to raise the appetites of the best children.
No, Jia Rong planned to use the farms of Ningfu and Rongfu to provide a livelihood for the adult clan members. However, he encountered collective opposition from the stewards of Rongfu.
Especially the outside stewards in charge of farm affairs were extremely excited.
Those who didn't know better thought that the Ning Rong Mansion was trying to steal their land.
Jia Mu still wanted to make peace with her, and she didn't put too much thought and thought into it.
Jia Rong was not polite, and said with a chuckle: "It seems that the Jia family can no longer make the final decision on the Rong Mansion's property!"
These words made Mr. Sheda, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Lian who were present at that time blush with embarrassment.
After that, the Ning Mansion simply left the Rong Mansion alone and worked on their own.
When it comes to the scale of the farm, the Ning Mansion is indeed inferior to the Rong Mansion, but the number of fields in the suburbs of Beijing in Ning Mansion's hands is also thousands.
It spread from the outskirts of Beijing to the boundaries of Tongzhou. It didn't stretch into a vast area, and even the royal family couldn't do this.
It is not that adults of the tribe are required to farm, but rather that they are roughly processed to increase the added value based on the output of the farm, and then sold to earn profits from it.
To be honest, this is hard-earned money. As long as you work hard enough, there is absolutely no problem if you want to be well-off.
With the Ningfu brand, many farms are located in obscure places, and unnecessary expenses can be saved. As long as the rough-processed products are transported to the capital, the profits are still quite good.
In short, Jia Rong thought of many ways to make life easier for the Jia clan in the capital.
The effect is quite obvious.
Except for a few shameless tribesmen who don't take their face seriously at all and are very lazy and refuse to work hard, the lives of the rest of the adult tribe are getting better day by day.
Apart from anything else, the well-off life that I have earned through hard work is much better than the nourishing life that Ningrong and his wife gave him.
At least, when you meet the gang of unscrupulous slaves in Rong Mansion again, you don't need to give them any face. They will coax you one by one.
It's really funny to say that Jia Rong said it in such a bad way, but in the end, the attitude of the Rong family towards having children did not change much.
Later I found out that it was the result of the old lady's pressure.
According to Jia's mother, there is no need to make outsiders laugh at the trouble. As for Jia Rong's United Sports, it basically went to nothing.
Lian Er was quite angry, but unfortunately he didn't have much say in the government.
Jia Rong also had nothing to say, but no matter what he did in the future, he would never communicate with the Rong Mansion again, unless he was in separate contact with Mr. Pardon and Lian Er.
I don’t know what the old lady is worried about, but she’s still unwilling to let go even though she’s in this situation, so there’s nothing to say.
This incident caused Rongfu to instantly lose the support of the clan, but Jia Rong and Ningfu got a big advantage.
As time goes by, the gap between Rong Mansion and Ning Mansion will only become wider and wider...
