Rich and noble do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade night travel, China since ancient times has been rich and like to show off with the old folks in the township, some people will return to their hometowns when they are rich, do things like money to build roads and bridges, not only leave a good name for themselves, but also believe that this can accumulate virtue for future generations.
It seems that Lu Pheasant's return to Shanfu County is not so simple, because he returned to his hometown with the emperor, which can be described as extremely glorious.
There is a concubine in Shan Father County, the Lu family is glorious, and the fathers and villagers in Shan Father County are naturally proud, especially the emperor is only a queen and eleven concubines. Although Lu Pheasant is not one of the four concubines, the fathers and villagers of Shan Father County still think that they have the qualifications to be proud, after all, there are dozens of counties in the entire empire, and there are only twelve places that can produce the pillow people around the emperor.
What was the situation of the Lu family in the past, after Lu Pheasant became one of the emperor's pillow people, all trivial things were turned out. Of course, because of the change in Lu Pheasant's identity, some things that are not so good naturally no one dares to say...... Or dare to say openly that people tend to say the good side out of a kind of local complex.
Did the Lu family have any black history before? There is no doubt that as long as it is an individual, it will inevitably be the existence of black history, and the biggest black spot for Lu Pheasant is that he once relocated his family because he didn't want to get married, and he would go to Pei County later, and was taken back by Lu Zhe, who only occupied Nanjun at that time.
The person who wanted to marry Lu Pheasant disappeared a long time ago, and no one knew if he went to a certain place and hid incognito, or what was going on. In fact, if it weren't for passing by a house that had become a ruin, the fathers and villagers in Shan Father County would not have thought of the former Yang family again. It's just that there has never been such a family.
"Are you saying that Lu Pheasant sent people to deal with the Yang family a long time ago?" Lu Zhe looked at Zhao Wan very seriously, waiting for the answer with a serious face.
Zhao Wan's face immediately turned wrong, and she kept shaking her head, shaking her head and saying, "That's the random speculation of some rural people, and the concubine body doesn't mean that!" β
Then again. Lu Zhe is a little confident that Lu Pheasant will send someone to solve the Yang family, after all, Lu Pheasant is not such a kind girl, not to mention revenge, for the sake of reputation, how to solve this stain, then it is the best way to let the Yang family disappear.
Lu Zhe has always known what kind of person Lu Pheasant is, he originally thought that Lu Pheasant's life trajectory had changed, and then Lu Pheasant would become a different person from history. He has been observing Lu Pheasant for a long time, and to be honest, the Lu Pheasant he has seen is also a relatively self-motivated person. Because of his strength, Lu Pheasant has been focusing on the teaching of his children for a long time. At least he didn't find that Lu Pheasant had done anything excessive.
"Your Majesty, the concubine shouldn't mention this." Zhao Wan is very nervous now, she was talking about the lively appearance of Shan Father County just now, but she didn't expect that because she was more happy to say it, she also told some hearsay.
Lu Zhe smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart, and chatted with Zhao Wan for a while, waiting for Zhao Wan to leave. He immediately spoke up: "Call Yan Bi." β
Yan Bi arrived soon, and after he came over, he first reported some other information. For example, he secretly visited the officials of Dangjun, or some clans and gentry in the county, and made a detailed investigation into why the mine rioted.
"Fifty-one percent of the shares in the mine are in the state, and the rest is distributed among local officials, clans, and gentry, and the ore produced is generally sold to the county government, and there is nothing excessively in the middle. The accounts are also clear. Yan Bi smiled strangely when he said this, and then continued: "The management problem is relatively big, the county government has delegated the management of the mine to the local Yu clan, and this Yu clan seems to have some distant relationship with Han Xin's fiancΓ©e family. β
Lu Zhe frowned when he heard this, but he didn't speak. Just listen quietly.
Yan Bi naturally saw the emperor's frowning movements, he adjusted the tone of his speech, changed it to an emotionless flatness, and said: "The Yu family has been in charge of managing the mine for two years, and ...... the previous year, when the mine hired local labor, the Yu family has a good reputation for treating the local villagers, but it has always been the critical line of limiting the minimum production capacity in terms of production. Later, the mines bought slaves and liberated the local villagers, and the Yu clan began to become strict in management......"
Lu Zhe cut off Yan Bi's words and asked, "Let's be clear, what is strictness." β
Yan Bi said truthfully: "Unauthorized killing and wanton killing did not appear, but it tends to be strict in management.
Lu Zhe nodded, slaves are not on the household registration of the empire, any law enforcement agency of the empire is only responsible for those who are on the household registration, and anyone who is not registered cannot enjoy a similar umbrella, which is fair to taxpayers.
This is the case in any country, where slaves never appear on the register. For example, if Zhang San breaks the law, the government will know where Zhang San is from the name and what family he has, and may start with Zhang San's family and let Zhang San, who has broken the law, surrender himself.
Long before Lu Zhe carried out reforms, another role of household registration was the use of paying taxes according to capitation and levying forced labor according to household registration. After the establishment of the empire, the poll tax has been removed, and the empire does not have the theory of servitude, and the household registration has become the main purpose of the census population.
As the empire has been implementing some national policies, such as the education and national medical centers that are being rolled out, it is also based on the location of the household registration, so where to study or seek medical treatment will have auxiliary policies similar to modern medical insurance, so for anyone, household registration is quite important.
Slaves were not treated as human beings in the Empire, and of course they could not have a household registration. In the empire, not being registered is not protected by the law, this is not only for slaves, in fact, it is the same treatment for some Chinese Miao descendants who have not registered with the government.
It was precisely because the law could not protect the slave class that the Yu clan and many people in the empire never considered slaves to be human beings. It is generally accepted that a slave is a humanoid tool.
Yu's strict treatment of slaves in the mines is embodied in a framework, the so-called framework is the rules they have set up, using rules and regulations to determine the production limits of slaves, and restricting what slaves should and cannot do.
In the final analysis, the difference between the treatment of the native villagers and the treatment of slaves by the Yu clan is very large. Lu Zhe listened to Yan Bi's narration that the Yu family also treated slaves differently, such as slaves who worked hard. It may be that the Yu clan treats slaves differently, and not all slaves join in after the riot?
The Yu clan has obvious differences in treating different people, which has earned Yu enough fame in the local area.
Lu Zhe is a person who understands, and probably knows that it is the Yu clan that promotes the difference between the previous pair on its own, for the sake of fame. However, since the Yu family did not break the law, he was a little confused about what Yan Bi said about the Yu family.
"It's something else." Yan Bi carefully observed the emperor's mood, probably after a period of hesitation in his heart. In the end, he said: "There are rumors about pheasant mothers among the people. β
The pupils of Lu Zhe's eyes shrank, and he looked at Yan Bi quietly.
"It's about the Yang family." Yan Bi seemed to swallow his saliva for a moment before he said, "The disappearance of the Yang family was arranged by the Yu family. β
"Oh!?" Lu Zhe nodded: "You continue." β
Yan Bi said: "The Yu family knows what happened, and they have been deploying it about three years ago, and they have repeatedly secretly made things difficult for the Yang family, making it extremely inconvenient for the Yang family in some aspects of life. In addition, the local villagers also deliberately sorted out the Yang family because of the past events, and the Yang family's life naturally became more and more difficult. β
Lu Zhe has been quiet. He paused slowly, his frowning brow gradually loosening.
The Yang family can be regarded as a disaster. If they had known that Lu Pheasant would become the concubine of the king of a country later, it is estimated that they would not have come to the door to ask for marriage from Mrs. Lu if they were killed.
And it seems that Mrs. Lu accepted the dowry from the Yang family at the beginning, but later Lu Pheasant was unwilling to marry, and Mrs. Lu wanted to return the dowry to the Yang family but was refused. In the end, it seems that Mrs. Lu took out three times the gift to make the Yang family relent, but folk rumors often detach from the facts, especially the more widely spread the matter and the more there is a gap between the facts. Originally, only one penny was lost, and waiting to reach the mouth of the tenth man was likely to turn into a loss of several pounds of gold.
It is a fact that Mrs. Lu finally chose to move, and they did move to Pei County, so it can be seen that the end of that matter was not handled perfectly?
Yan Bi is still talking about the beginning and end: "After the Yang family moved away, the Yang family said a lot of bad things about the Lu Taigong family in the neighborhood. At that time, very few people stood ...... Lu Taigong's family."
Something inevitable. The fault was that Lu Pheasant was unwilling to marry, but Mrs. Lu accepted the Yang family's dowry. In the people, since the dowry has been accepted by the woman, it means that the woman has confirmed that she has accepted the marriage contract, and the reality is that it is not allowed to repent.
The Yang family is estimated to be a figure with a face in Shan Father County, and a good marriage proposal has become a face-damaging thing because the woman repented, and they did not turn their faces on the spot, in fact, they were already very restrained.
On the surface, the Yang family did not turn their faces, but secretly, the Yang family must be unhappy for the Lu family, and if they didn't make too much trouble, the Yang family should still be afraid of face.
Mrs. Lu's family is estimated to be inferior to the Yang family in any aspect of Shanfu County, which is also the reason why Mrs. Lu was very happy to accept the dowry when the Yang family courted. The Lu family couldn't fight the Yang family, and in the end, it ended with the relocation of the Lu family.
Modern moving and ancient moving are both moving, but moving in ancient times is not an easy thing, a family that can have little reputation on the ground, first of all, this family must have land, and it is a lot of acres, and there must be a sufficient number of helpers or tenants below.
Land plays a pivotal role in Chinese history, and for a long time, the wealth of a family was not reflected in money, but in how many acres of land the family had. Moving can remove belongings and some things, but how to move land?
At that time, Mrs. Lu sold the acres of land at a low price, and a large part of it was secretly bought by the Yang family. If Lu Taigong directly sold it to the Yang family at a low price, it would be a way to reconcile, but Lu Pheasant was unwilling at all, and Liang Zi had no choice but to untie it.
"The Yu family and the Yang family were originally well water and did not violate the river water, the reason was that there were relatives of the Yu family who went to Nanling to find Yu Zi, and Yu Zi may have told in some chats that the relationship between Pheasant Niangniang and Yu Girl is very good?" Yan Bi used a question sentence, but his tone was very determined: "That's why the Yu family will start targeting the Yang family." I guess I want to breathe a sigh of relief for the pheasant girl? β
"Does Lu Pheasant know about this?" Lu Zhe is most concerned about this.
Yan Bi smiled bitterly: "I shouldn't have known before, but now I definitely know." β
It is reasonable to say, since the Yu family has done it, then there must be a consideration of selling favors, even if Lu Pheasant does not return to Shanfu County, in the future, the Yu family will let Lu Pheasant know that the Yu family has done such a thing at the right time and in the right place.
Lu Zhe somewhat understands why Zhao Wan is a little abnormal today, Lu Pheasant usually has a friendship with Xiao He, who was born in Pei County, and there is a family that is angry for Lu Pheasant in the local area, Zhao Wan probably has some worried thoughts?
What Lu Zhe is most concerned about now is what Lu Pheasant thinks and what effect it will have in the future.
"The Yu family has acquired the Yang family's land and industry, and the price is fair." Yan Bi's fairness refers to the fact that the Yang family's life has become difficult, measured by a price lower than the market price, but higher than the price of other acquirers. He also knew what the emperor cared about, so he stopped and waited for the emperor to finish thinking, and quickly continued: "The Yu clan did not touch the law when it was operating, and everything was a normal transaction within the scope of law. β
Lu Zhe's originally tense face relaxed.
"The Yu family has plans to return to the family tree of the Yu Zi period in the near future." Yan Biyin said predictively: "The slave riot in the mine, I heard that it was a side branch of the Chu Diyu clan......"
A family has a main family, and there will also be many side branches, usually within several generations of blood relatives, but there are often things that go apart.
There were too many wars before, and many families would selectively arrange side branches to distant places, so there would be a situation where there were side branches in the south, but the main family was in the north, and the two sides were hundreds of miles apart.
Only they know whether the Yu clan of Shan Father County is a relative of the Yu clan in Chudi, but if it is because of their own family affairs, because of the complicated relationship between the family, there is a riot in a state-owned mine, it will be a bit too much of a bastard.
