The hilltop of Prince Xian's Mansion is pretty good. It can be reached by half a day's drive out of the capital. The capital of the Western Jin Kingdom is in the north. It is summer at this time. Sitting in the carriage, Mu Lingxue tightly wrapped her cloak.
The weather is fine for planting, but I'm afraid it will be even more miserable in winter. It would be nice to have a down jacket on such days.
The only one who came out was Qiangwei. Thinking of her temper, Mu Lingxue had no choice but to leave the steady Shuizhu at home.
Qiangwei was originally a servant, and she usually walked when she went out. Being able to ride in a carriage this time was naturally different from the past. Her satisfaction and contentment were something Mu Lingxue could not praise.
After walking all morning, the carriage stopped. After getting off the carriage, the housekeeper from the village was waiting at the door with his people. When he got off, the cold wind blew, and Mu Lingxue shivered.
"The climate down here is very cold. Thank you for your hard work on weekdays." Mu Lingxue nodded to everyone.
Everyone was stunned, some didn't understand what it meant.
Qiangwei stepped forward with a smile, "Princess is caring about everyone. Okay, I've been riding in the car all morning. Let's go home first."
Manager Liu from the Zhuangzi responded quickly and led his servants to welcome the princess, who had no pretensions at all, into the Zhuangzi. His surprise when he heard that the princess was coming to the Zhuangzi was outweighed by what he saw in front of him.
After all, Mu Lingxue was not from the true monarchy era, so she did not have those concepts of stele statues. The simple Zhuangzi in Qiangwei's eyes was very good and antique in her eyes.
After lunch, Mu Lingxue rubbed her belly. The smell of the rice was much better than that at home. It seemed that she was destined to be poor. The delicacies in the home were not suitable at all.
her appetite.
"Let Butler Liu come in." Mu Lingxue saw Qiangwei peeking her head in and sat down.
Qiangwei answered and walked in with Butler Liu. Before the meal, Mu Lingxue had already told her the purpose of coming to the village. On the one hand, she wanted to travel, and on the other hand, she also wanted to reform.
"I know all the rules in the past, but in this case, these mountains can only be empty. I have an idea. I'll tell Butler Liu what he thinks. If it works, we'll do it." Mu Lingxue said very politely.
, but Butler Liu was frightened and stood there respectfully, "Someone who wants to go up the mountain to hunt can do it, and it doesn't have to be someone related to the palace. It's just that you can go up the mountain to hunt, and you must give half of the prey to the palace."
Butler Liu was a little embarrassed, "Princess, these rules have been set by our ancestors. If we change them, I'm afraid the powerful people will disagree."
"This mountain belongs to the palace, what to do is none of their business? Even if the palace lets everyone come and hunt for nothing, it has nothing to do with them." Mu Lingxue couldn't make a decision at first, but after hearing what he said, her temper grew, "That's it.
Like, you will pass the matter on when the time comes, and anyone who goes up to the mountain to hunt will go to the palace to get a sign, and those who don't want to hand over their prey to the palace can also use their labor to take over."
General Manager Qi was reluctant, but he was a contemporary after all. In the past, poor people were not allowed to hunt at the foot of the mountain, so although they were slaves of the palace, they had always been superior in front of those people. Now it is better.
The privilege will no longer be theirs alone, but more importantly, when there are more people, there will be fewer prey.
In the past, we could hide a lot of prey secretly, but this time it was not so easy.
Qiangwei came in with tea, "I see that Butler Liu is not happy. The princess's idea is good to me. This will increase the income of the palace, otherwise such a big mountain will really belong to slaves like them."
Although Qiangwei didn't hear a few words, she was able to say this. Mu Lingxue really liked her for having such an opinion. As long as she cultivated it, she would be a good assistant.
"Okay, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
Qiangwei was dumbfounded, "Princess, what can I do as a slave?"
"Why not? I think you are just right. After the news is released, there will be hunters who will come to consult. Then you can choose some honest and loyal people. Keep as many such people as I can use."
After taking a sip of tea, Mu Lingxue specifically told her, "Keep an eye on Housekeeper Liu. Once he is caught doing some tricks in private, you will immediately remove him from the post of housekeeper. Such a heartless person, what can you do?"
It’s no use being nice to him.”
The master said so, Qiangwei couldn't refuse, and Wei Fushen agreed with a smile.
