Chapter 616: Murderous Letter
"Yang Tishuai, take a look, this Zhuangzi, and the fields outside, are the dressing fields that a few of us put together for all the mothers. If it's not enough, just tell me and we'll make up some more. Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, one left and one right, introduced the production of this grange and the composition of Zhuangzi for Yang Chengzu.
The investigation in Jingying is not over, but now that it is in the final stage, it is not necessary for Yang Chengzu to do it himself, those children of the family, and the nobles are enough to do it. The interrogation of those officials of the Ministry of War is also underway, and these people have more or less taken filial piety from the Beijing camp. But they see this income as the norm, and no one thinks it's anything to blame. This money is taken for granted, and no one will think that they should really bear any price for it, and in the end, it is the struggle in the court and the emperor's trade-offs that will be decided whether they will stay or not.
These problems are not something that Yang Chengzu can intervene in, what he can do is to use this time to collect more filial piety and enrich his pockets as soon as possible. Although he is in charge of the Chongwenmen tax supervisor, who is short of money, the money he has received has been sent to the inner treasury to prepare for Emperor Jiajing's new army.
This field is the one that took advantage of his good mood when Zhengde was still in the country and the Eight Tigers begged for the pension farm. It is not uncommon for favored eunuchs to ask the emperor for pension fields, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, once these people are old and lose power, they must have an industry to live in. Sometimes it is also common for the new monarch's favored eunuchs to take away the pension land of the former emperor's favored eunuchs for their own use.
Now the significance of this field, in addition to supporting Du Shi and a few other leopard women, is more important is to be able to get in touch with the nouveau riche. Although it is unlikely that a few eunuchs will continue to put palm prints on key parts, if they can show favor to the emperor through this upstart and keep a good position to retire, they can still look forward to it.
Based on this consideration, the Eight Tigers are very generous this time, like this kind of pension grange, a total of three gifts before and after. Combined, there are more than 2,000 acres of land. With these fields, plus tenant farmers, Yang Chengzu can now be regarded as a real landlord.
Zhuang Tou was called over and informed that he had changed his master, and that his future filial piety would be handed over to Yang's mansion. In this era, although the circulation of land was controlled by the government, it was actually very simple for farmland to change hands like this.
It's just that everyone verbally explains, and everything can be solved, and several landlords in this village are still landlords, but nominally from the domestic servants of a few eunuchs to Yang Tishuai's domestic servants, and they can still escape from servitude. Once this master loses power one day, they are free, and then find another person to contribute.
Guo Jiujie and Yongchun all changed into men's clothes and came with them. Since the sons and daughters of the noble lords smashed the yamen of the military department, they have been quite lawless, and they have openly taken the women of the teaching department to the barracks to make trouble. Although Guo Jiujie's taste is unique, it is not good to really get close to women in front of men. When you arrive at this grange, you can also take refuge.
As for Yongchun, it is said that her wedding date is approaching, so she should stay in the palace and wait to leave the cabinet. But she still slipped out unrelentingly, following her brother-in-law like a fart.
She also knew that her little caution might have been exposed, but after the initial fear and shyness, she was now bolder, and she actually threw the pot to Yang Chengzu to see how he treated her.
Yang Chengzu was helpless to do anything about this little follower, so he had to fool her to run around with him first, anyway, after she got married, it was impossible to continue to sneak out.
A few people immediately looked around the topography of the village and the scene of the fields, although the fields of Jingshi could not be compared with Huguang, but these lands were also regarded as Ueda, and the production was also considerable. There are also mills, mills, oil shops, grocery stores, and a small blacksmith's furnace in the village, all of which are very lucrative businesses.
Zhang Yongdao: "When the old slaves were waiting by the side of Wumiao, Long Live felt sorry for us, and was afraid that we would starve and freeze when we got old, so they rewarded this field. But now, a few of us would rather starve to death than let our mother be wronged. The production of these fields is good, and they are used to support a few mothers, although they cannot be compared with the leopard house, but they can still live. ”
Gu Dayong also said: "Yes, although the old slave does not have any savings in his hands, as long as the mother uses the money, Yang Timhuai sends someone here, and the old slave will do his best to share the worries of the mother." ”
The loyalty of the two fathers-in-law, Yang admires very much. Don't think too much about it, that's what you're asking for, and I don't have the right to guarantee anything, but I dare to say that Your Majesty is a benevolent person and will not treat the remaining loyalists of the previous dynasty. As for some people's nonsense, don't take it to heart, there is long live, and they can't do anything to you. But now that His Majesty is newly established, it is the time to employ people around him, and if there is any official business to be handed over, a few people cannot shirk it. ”
The two eunuchs secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they passed this level and spent some silver and two fields, it was actually nothing. Gu Dayong smiled, "It's not early, Yang Timhuai, let's go have a drink." Don't look like a poor country here, you can't make any decent banquets, but some peasant dishes are still very delicious. ”
originally thought that the so-called farm food was the original ecological food such as big pot sticker cakes, but when I arrived at the home of the richest man in the village, I learned that the so-called farm food was actually the daughter of the two daughters in the boudoir outside the staff, as well as several of the most outstanding girls in the village.
These women obviously knew what kind of errand they had arranged for themselves, and they were all a little reluctant in their expressions, but under the orders of the patriarch or family members, they still had to sit down next to a few nobles. Gu Dayong said: "These women are all our tenants, I guarantee that there will be no beginning and end, Ti Shuai can taste it to his heart's content, if it is the right appetite, just bring it to the capital." If anyone does not serve her well, he will kill her, and it will only be a share of the outside. ”
Guo Jiujie and Yongchun were arranged by Gu Dayong to eat in another place, obviously as the big man in the palace, he could see who was a woman dressed as a man. Seeing that the two eunuchs were already familiar with each other, and they were up and down with the woman next to him, Yang Chengzu suddenly felt that he was shallow, and he put his hand on the woman next to him.
The girl seemed to be the daughter of the outsider here, the so-called little jasper, but at this time, she was like a little rabbit in a trap, and could do nothing but look at the man pleadingly. This wine was drunk from noon until it was dark, Gu Dayong and a few others took the woman around him back to the bedroom, as for how a eunuch tasted this peasant food, Yang Chengzu couldn't think clearly.
And the woman who had been teased by him for an afternoon had obviously changed from resistance to resignation, helped him into the room, and took the initiative to take off her clothes. But the dish had just moved its chopsticks a few times, and before it could get to the point, the news of the arrival of the Mongolian soldiers came.
