Qian Qinzhen pointed at Xia Wanchun's forehead with a jade-like onion, and said angrily: "You, you don't know anything about your sister's heart. ”

Xia Wanchun asked suspiciously, "What's on the mind of the third sister?" ”

Qian Qinzhen glanced at Xia Wanchun with disgust, "Can you remember that the prince was trapped in Huai'an at that time, and the husband had not sent troops yet, how did the third sister lead the students of the Ming Society and Taiping Mansion to come to our house to make trouble?" ”

"What's wrong with speaking upright?"

"You...... What a goofy goose! Qian Qinzhen said angrily.

Only then did Xia Wanchun come back to his senses and said in surprise: "Could it be that the third sister ...... the eldest brother?" ”

"Do you understand?"

Xia Wanchun suddenly realized, but then frowned and said, "Ridiculous...... The eldest brother already has a princess and a side concubine, and there is still the daughter of the king of Jin waiting to be ...... in Hangzhou Mansion. ”

"What? The husband is disgusted...... The third sister can't get the title of the main room? Qian Qinzhen said disappreciatively, "Nine concubines of the Son of Heaven, do you think that the prince will ...... in the future." ”

"Don't lie!" Xia Wanchun said in a deep voice, "What does the eldest brother think in his heart...... How can you put your beak on it? What's more, I don't care if the third sister has a proper name, but the third sister is too pampered and annoys the eldest brother! ”

Qian Qinzhen looked depressed, looked at her husband, smiled bitterly, she grabbed her husband's shirt and said, "How can the love of children be understood by outsiders?" The husband is just a brother and a brother, how can he speculate on the thoughts of the prince and the third sister with his own heart...... Whether it succeeds or not, the two of them have their own proportions, let's just wait for the news. ”

Xia Wanchun looked at his wife in a daze, and sighed lightly: "I...... I'm afraid that the third sister will collide with the eldest brother. ”

"Since the husband and the prince are commensurate with the prince's brothers, then the third sister is also the third sister of the prince...... I wonder what my husband is worried about. ”

"Yes...... That matter, it really shouldn't be said by the third sister to the eldest brother. ”

Qian Qinzhen's face slowly became solemn, and he sighed lightly: "It's the same...... The third sister has a strong temperament, if this is ....... ”

Xia Wanchun stomped his feet and said, "No, I have to go and call the third sister back." ”

Qian Qinzhen thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate for the husband to go...... In this way, I went to find the eldest sister, and then went together to call back the third sister. ”

Xia Wanchun hesitated for a moment, and responded: "That...... All right. ”

……。

Xia Huiji's speech was clear and methodical, which made Wu Zheng's brows furrow tighter and tighter.

This is a typical corruption case in which officials, businessmen, wealthy families, and clans collude with each other to poison the common people.

The Taiping Mansion is subordinate to the imperial court, and unlike the prefectures under the jurisdiction of General Wu Zheng's Mansion, Wu Xiaomei's identity as the county lord is not enough to obtain extrajudicial jurisdiction in the Taiping Mansion.

Although in the past two years, the tentacles of the expansion of the Weaving Division have already crossed the Yangtze River, but in terms of power, the Weaving Division is only a private business organization, without official positions, ranks, and does not have the power to govern and enforce the law.

Then, when the weaving department opened a branch in Taiping Mansion, the first contradiction it faced was to recruit local weaver girls.

Of course, because of Wu Zheng's relationship, Xia Wanchun provided enough convenience.

But the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Xia Wanchun can't give more help to specific matters.

The imperial power of the capital does not go to the countryside, the emperor controls the ministers, and the ministers represent the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, starting from the three emperors and five emperors, no matter how powerful the empire is, its most basic government is at the county level.

And it is the clan that really controls the towns, townships, li, and villages.

The words of the patriarch are often better than those of the county magistrate, and this is also the first thing to visit when every county magistrate arrives is the local wealthy clan.

Only by having a good relationship with these big clans can we ensure that our term of office is safe and smooth.

Originally, the establishment of the branch of the Weaving Division, the clans of the counties of Taiping Mansion would not have much backlash, because no one dared to challenge the majesty of King Wu for no reason, isn't this looking for death?

But anything, once interests are involved, simply put, it is silver, then, no matter how great the majesty, can be ignored, including the imperial power.

The wages of the weaving department are too high, and the salary of the weaver girl of the Hangzhou weaving department is a legend in Jiangnan.

A salary of up to tens of taels or even nearly a hundred taels per month is simply an original sin.

This makes the people of Jiangnan grit their teeth to have more children, and give birth like crazy, in order to give birth to a daughter, raise them until they are eleven years old, learn weaving and embroidery, and then before they get married, they will earn enough wealth for their families that they dare not imagine before, which indirectly caused a large number of newborns in Jiangnan to be born in three years.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the main thing is that the clans are not happy, the wealthy are not happy, and the officials and businessmen are naturally not happy.

The clan is unhappy because the Weaver Girl wants to weave and embroider, which has caused a delay in the marriage age, and it is a significant delay, the people in Jiangnan live a wealthy life, and the marriage age of women is relatively late, generally between 16 and 18 years old, but now, the general marriage age of the Weaver Girl has been delayed to after the age of twenty, or even twenty-four.

Twenty-four years old, which is already a mother of two or three children for a normal marriage.

No one in the engaged husband's family is willing to marry a woman of such an age, because before the weaver girl is married, all the money earned belongs to the woman's family and has nothing to do with the man.

But the man who has already hired a pro-wife has paid the bride price, but he needs to wait for five or six years, or even seven or eight years to marry his daughter-in-law, and a conflict of interests will inevitably occur.

And the clan is always on the man's side, and the ass determines the position, a patriarchal society.

This is the first contradiction.

The wealthy and businessmen are not happy, naturally because of interests, but the difference is that they are mainly because it is more and more difficult to find hired workers, whether it is farming or setting up workshops, the first thing is labor, and every male in each household becomes a hired worker, so the women in the family have to hold up half the sky.

The opening of the branch of the weaving division has broken the balance of labor in the Taiping Mansion, and it is difficult to find not only men, but also women.

Labor salaries of one price per day, or even one price per day, have directly led to a labor shortage.

This is the second contradiction.

State and county officials are also not happy, and of course they are also interested.

Taiping Mansion and the surrounding prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction are subordinate to the imperial court, and the system is still the same.

The evaluation of officials is mainly reflected in the performance of food, population, and public security.

Then, the instability of the clan has brought about the loss of control of food and population, and the instability of wealthy families and merchants, which has led to the loss of control of taxation and public security.

This is the third contradiction.

To sum up, three contradictions led to the fact that the Taiping branch of the Weaving Division had to reach a private agreement with the stakeholders of all parties.

That is, the weaving department needs to hire local weaver girls, which must be agreed by the clan and the local government before they can be hired.

Originally, this was a good thing, balancing the interests of all parties, and it also made it possible for the weaving department to hire enough people smoothly.

But there is a good saying, where there are many people, there is a tide of money, and where there is a lot of money, evil will naturally breed.
