After living in the Wen General Courtyard Mansion, Lu Ning even removed the housekeeper and ordered Zhang Dianyuan and the two female officials to return to the Inner Palace, just because he didn't want to be in the Wen General Mansion as if he were returning to the palace.

The new housekeeper, Lu Ning used Hua Sanniang, that's right, it is Hua Sanniang, the wife of "Boss Lu" who caused Song Yanwu's shocking case.

Song Yanwu's case involved a wide range of people, and of course it was not decided by Yang Zhao's special case department in the end, but most of the female dependents sentenced to hard labor in the case were sent to various imperial villages, but there were four people, including Hua Sanniang, who were imprisoned in the Jingzhao Mansion Women's Prison for a period of time, and not long ago, they were sent to the Wen General Court to serve in labor, and Zhang Dianyuan even used money to buy out these four female prisoners.

Nowadays, it is during the transition from deformed slavery to employment that slaves cannot be completely abolished, and even the Donghai Baixing fleet that went to the Nanyang trade itself sold Nanyang slaves, some of which were sold to the royal family to reclaim the fields, and some of which were sold to the officials and merchants as slaves.

Moreover, the Nanyang slave males, all castrated, and the home-made penicillin is precious, and it is rarely used on this, and many of them die from the wound infection of the Nanyang slaves.

This kind of bloody thing, Lu Ning is too lazy to think about it, and even to manage Nanyang slaves and even possible foreign slaves in the future, Qi Lu also has special legislation, which is formulated by the cabinet, and some provisions are very inhumane from Lu Ning's point of view, but in today's terms, it is naturally beneficial and harmless to China.

China, nowadays, does not need a large number of slaves to develop or work, so the slave trade in the East China Sea Baixing is not frequent, but the Huangzhuang built on Luzon Island, but also the supply point and port of the East China Sea Baihang caravans, went to the Central Plains to a small number of immigrants, most of them have to rely on Nanyang slaves to work.

Luzon is now sparsely populated and in the stage of primitive tribal development, and has not formed a state at all.

However, in later generations, the Indonesian archipelago, Indochina Peninsula and other regions were very maritime powers, basically in the state of slave countries or tribal alliance states, and it was not so simple to establish a series of port supply points in this area.

Lu Ning also pondered, when the situation in the northeast and northwest stabilized, he had rested enough, and went to Southeast Asia to see how to establish the sphere of influence of Qi's maritime trade routes; Second, I am also curious about what the current state of the indigenous people of Southeast Asia is.

Of course, in the past, it was a felony to force a good man to be a slave, not to mention now, there are no untouchables, the people are all good people, and the deed of sale of slavery has long been abolished, but there is only one point, if the relatives who commit the ten heinous sins, if they are involved, they may be sent to slavery for servitude, and they can even be sold to officials, which is also one of the privileges of officials, at the same time, It is also a small amount of value created by the families of these repeat offenders for the country's finances.

Hua Sanniang and other four female dependents are like this, including Song Yanwu's newlywed wife Liu, that is, the former Bohai County lady, who also dealt with Lu Ning, and the other two girls are the daughters of important criminals involved in Song Yanwu's case, and their looks are very beautiful.

From a certain point of view, leaving all the beautiful people to resell to the "old knowledge", Yang Zhao This is a black-box operation, of course, these women, if not, are also sent to the imperial village to serve in labor, if the object of their operation is not the emperor, Yang Zhao naturally does not dare, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it.

Before and after the establishment of the Special Project Division, Yang Zhao was clear and knew that Hua Sanniang and the Liu family had given themselves the anger of the General Wen Academy, so there would be such a divine operation.

Lu Ning also felt funny when he thought about it, Hua Sanniang and Liu's arrogant appearance in front of him had no impression for a long time, but I still remember that now these two tigresses have become slaves and maids in their mansions, which is also a bit interesting.

And Zhang Dianyuan and others were edicted into the palace by themselves, the best housekeeper choice, who is the three mothers?

……

In the study, a red dress and extremely beautiful Hua Sanniang stood aside, I couldn't see what she was thinking, in the face of the "Wen Zongyuan", she was respectful, occasionally smiling, just like a loyal slave for many years, but its temperament, although after a few months in prison, but as gorgeous as ever, is still the breath of the master's mother.

"Boss Lu" has been beheaded, and Hua Sanniang wrote several confessions in prison, Yang Zhao looked at his words and thought that he was indeed "repentant", or that he recognized the reality and gave in, so he was officially sent a slave.

"Have you received this month's use in the house?" Lu Ning asked indifferently.

Hua Sanniang nodded lightly: "Received!" It's just that the concubine has just taken over the accounts, and some of the entries are not very clear, so I will show the master tomorrow. ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly.

Speaking of which, when I returned to the Wenzong Academy, my parents were short, and even looked at my own money carefully, considered my income and expenses, and felt that this was the real life.

He is a four-grade official, with monthly allowance and annual salary, as well as miscellaneous subsidies, totaling 300 stone meters and 200 yuan per year.

In his own house, there are now four handmaids who buy out and do not want money, six hired maids, two hired male servants, one cook, and one groom.

Maids, manservants, and grooms are all covered with food and shelter, and it is okay to ask for money for a monthly salary, or to ask for rice, or to add money and rice, which is basically a consistent money or a stone of rice.

Nowadays, most of the livelihood commodities are priced by the Commercial Tax Institute, and the price of rice varies slightly depending on the region, but it is generally maintained at about 100 yuan per bucket of rice, which is consistent with the same price as a stone of rice.

Therefore, it is a beautiful difference to work in this Wen Zongyuan, basically, one person does the work, the whole family is not hungry, and more than 100 catties of rice can be carried back a month, that is, there is less oil and water now, and the amount of food is large, but it is enough for a family of four or five to eat.

In Bianjing City, the wages of ordinary male servants and maids who do work are about the same, but the water will be very large, for example, some official eunuchs, do not need to fight to give food to the servants, all to the inferior millet rice, and rice are two different things, the servants have no right to choose money, and even give the servants grain, which can be mixed with sand, which is not enough to fight, low-quality millet rice, and then mixed with sand, the difference is big.

Lu Ning also knows about this kind of thing, but he won't care about everything, and he also formulates a law specifically for this, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, overkill, and it may be counterproductive.

Of course, if the proprietor is too harsh, forcing the servant to sue the official, that is another matter.

As for his own mansion, naturally everything is done according to the rules, that is, the money is issued, and it is all paper money.

Nowadays, the paper money printed by engraving is different from the silver ticket, and the special paper used is more expensive than the real Xuancheng rice paper, and the denomination is naturally not too small, but in spite of this, the minimum denomination of the banknotes of Bianjing, Nanjing, and Donghai City is also set as Baiwen.

In fact, today's improved paper money is extremely difficult to imitate, as long as you have come into contact with paper money, it is basically impossible to be deceived by counterfeit money, and it may not be impossible to make it popular throughout the country.

Even many important ministers in the cabinet want to be used throughout the country, after all, in their eyes, using paper to mint money is simply a huge profit.

But the more the courtiers had this mentality, the more cautious Lu Ning became, and still made the banknotes only circulate in Bian, Yang, and Donghai City, so as not to be too radical and make something big happen, and he would become a sinner for the ages.
