Chapter one hundred and seventy seventh tenant trouble
Of course Changping was willing to do this errand, but he was a little embarrassed: "Princess...there are constant turmoils in the court, and I'm afraid I don't have the extra energy to deal with this matter."
Mainly, as the envoy of Xuanji Pavilion, he still has many things to deal with in Kyoto.
For example, he didn't have time to get the property that the Ghost Pavilion had accumulated in this area.
He was also responsible for the cinnabar veins that the Gu clan cooperated with, and he was really unable to do all the work.
"You should be able to select a few capable people from the Ministry of Works to assist you. The local officials will probably not dare to embarrass you. As for the manpower for the construction, they will be recruited from the private sector, and the court will pay them. As for the money, you
Don’t worry, I’ll give you money, will one hundred million be enough?”
"Ahem." Chang Ping choked at Su Qing's arrogance: "I will discuss this matter with the emperor first. It is the emperor who has the final say whether to start construction."
Su Qing nodded, stopped interrupting, and stood up to leave.
As soon as she left, Chang Ping looked out the window faintly: "Did you hear that? Your wife has arranged an errand for me."
"Go ahead."
Bailiyu came in from the window, sat down where Su Qing had been sitting, and picked up the tea she had drunk to moisten her throat.
Chang Ping said calmly: "Then who will handle the affairs in Kyoto? Who will take the things left in the warehouse of the Ghost Pavilion? Who will negotiate with the Ming Dynasty? Who will fall into the trap of the Gu clan? Who will handle the industries of the Wei Sheng clan?"
Thanks to Zhao Yun's overage auction, there was insufficient silver and he could only mobilize silver from Wei Sheng's property.
Only then did Xuanji Pavilion have the opportunity to find out which surrounding industries belonged to the Weisheng clan.
I don’t blame them for not being able to find out Weisheng’s business before. Many merchants themselves didn’t know that their owners were the famous Weisheng.
"My young master will do it myself."
Changping was very satisfied with this answer. He still wanted the political achievements of the Ming Dynasty. What he wanted was what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could give him.
If he hadn't been young and ignorant, how could he have been abducted by the Pavilion Master and led him astray, into the Xuanji Pavilion envoy's business of passing on life-trading messages.
Chang Ping nodded: "In that case, I will go into the palace and report back to the emperor later."
Chang Ping suddenly thought of Su Qing, and he still felt a little disappointed.
In fact, he originally had the intention to marry Su Qing. He originally thought that when he came back from the disaster, he would find the third princess to cultivate a relationship. If the princess could like him, he could naturally propose marriage.
As a result, this idea had just taken shape in my mind, and when I came back, I found that Bailiyu had actually made the first move!
beasts...
"You are now husband and wife, so why don't you tell her your identity?"
Bailiyu lowered his eyes and stared at the tea in the tea cup, with a touch of tenderness hidden in his dark eyes.
Tell Su Qing...
In fact, he didn't hide it from her on purpose, but if he told her now, it would be a little troublesome to handle many things.
Su Qing's situation is also much more dangerous than now.
...
Su Qing was followed by Qing'er as she left Changping Mansion. Su Qing's carriage was just outside the gate of Shanshui when suddenly a group of people surrounded her.
"You are Su Qing, you are you, you can't leave!"
A group of plainly dressed people blocked her, and Su Qing was confused: "Why can't I leave?"
"You just can't leave!" No one expected that she would come so quickly.
These people are obviously coming with bad intentions.
Su Qing's expression turned cold: "Ning Liu, go call the guards of Shanshui Villa."
"yes."
Ning Liu went down and quickly called the guards of Shanshui Villa over.
At first glance, everyone looked like ordinary people, and they had an instinctive fear of strong guards, thinking that any guard was a peerless master.
"You...your majestic third princess has caused our family to die and suffer from hunger and cold. You have to give us an explanation!"
A man who looked like a leader, seeing that he was about to be driven away, used a fierce expression to embolden himself.
Su Qing narrowed her eyes: "Did I cause your family to be destroyed?"
She looked carefully at the people in front of her and felt a little familiar.
When I thought about it carefully, I suddenly remembered where I had seen it.
"Oh, I have remembered it. You are all those lazy and lazy tenants on Zhuangzi."
After Su Qing's reminder, Qing'er immediately remembered: "It's you, you are so lazy, how dare you say that the princess has ruined your family?"
In the end, the tenants were afraid of the imperial power, and they were irrational, so they retreated in fear.
At this moment, a group of people dressed as scholars appeared: "The reputation of the dignified Third Princess cannot be denigrated. Since people have come to find her, this matter must be made clear. The Third Princess cannot be stained with harming the people."
The group of people instantly found their backbone and knelt down towards the group of scholars: "Master, you are aware that we were tenants of several Zhuangzi under the name of the three princes. After the princess took back the Zhuangzi, she arranged a new steward and drove us away one after another.
Come out. If we don’t have land to cultivate, aren’t we going to starve to death?”
"Yes, yes, the seven members of my family depend on the fields to survive. The princess drove us away. She wants us to starve to death."
A scholar asked in a stern tone: "You are lazy, how can you blame the third princess for not giving you land to cultivate? What crime should you be guilty of for so degrading the reputation of the third princess!"
"We are wronged. Lazyness is nothing. I just wanted to get closer to the original manager. The princess couldn't stand us, so she found a reason to force us to death."
"The princess is looking for a reason to drive us away. Please be aware that we are very content with our land and farming. How can we dare to be lazy?" The tenants kowtowed one after another. Their appearance was already miserable, and their wives and children all called over.
A group of people were crying and kowtowing. This scene was really hard to tell whether it was true or false.
For a moment, his speculative eyes fell on Su Qing.
"These people don't look like they are lying. No wonder the Third Princess was able to take back the property of the Third Prince's Palace in such a short period of time and hold it tightly in her hands. It turned out that she used this method to eliminate dissidents."
"We have praised the Third Princess for her resolute and resolute approach when she quickly took back the property of the Three Princes' Mansion. We did not expect that there was such a hidden secret in it."
Shanshui Villa was originally a place where people with nothing to do would like to gather. At this moment, it was already crowded with people watching the fun.
When the tenants cried and complained, everyone believed them, and nothing could be done to them because they were lazy and lazy.
"Third Princess, this is your fault. Isn't it the same for everyone who cultivates the farmland? Why do you bother them?" A scholar stepped forward and said with a bodhisattva-hearted look: "Even if you don't care about the life and death of these adults,
We should also feel sorry for these children."
The tenants came with their wives and daughters. The girls were as skinny as firewood, shivering and standing there at a loss.
For a time, many people agreed with the scholar, and seemed to accuse Su Qing of showing their kindness.
"So, you came here hoping that I would let you stay on Zhuangzi?" Su Qing ignored those people's accusations.
The tenants were immediately questioned by Su Qing. They were so lazy that they came to make trouble. They thought that the third princess would not give them a good look, but the meaning of these words seemed to be a compromise.
Realizing this, the tenants became more confident.
