Chapter 209: The Storm (1)
Maoling, Yuan Guangguo stood at the door of his house, and in front of him, there were two hundred slaves and maids with grateful faces and thanksgiving to Dade.
Men and women, young and old.
"You have worked hard for my family in the past, and now, I am benevolent, righteous, loyal and forgiving, and I will relieve you and others of the slave ......contract," Yuan Guangguo said softly, and threw the many deeds of sale written on cloth, bamboo and calves in his hand into a brazier on the ground.
The fire immediately engulfed the contracts that had bound these poor people.
"The Lord is gracious! The Lord is gracious! β
The slaves and maids kowtowed, for them, freedom, this is a dream.
Although after freedom, I have not yet thought about where to go.
But freedom itself is money.
At the very least, if they really can't do it, they can sell themselves again.
That's tens of thousands of dollars, enough for the family to live a good life.
Yuan Guangguo waved his hand slightly, releasing two hundred slaves and maids, which was just a drop in the bucket for a wealthy businessman of his level.
Although, in fact, my heart hurts.
But no matter how painful it is, this knife will cut it down!
This is a petition and a stepping stone.
If you don't do this, how can you get into the eldest grandson's car?
Thinking of this, a smile overflowed at the corner of Yuan Guangguo's mouth.
A retainer dressed as a housekeeper beside him leaned in front of him and said with a smile: "The lord has a unicorn, and the minister congratulates the princes!" β
When Yuan Guangguo heard this, he couldn't close his mouth when he smiled.
He used to have the most headache for his own.
But now, he is most proud of his precious son.
As a close minister + favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, the eldest grandson assists the minister, and is the only disciple of Zhang Zizhong, who leads Xinfeng in the service.
His son's future is bright.
And after he learned about this, he immediately made up his mind - no matter what, even if he scattered all his family wealth, he would help his son's teacher and rise all the way.
The reason is simple.
In this world, the highest rate of return has always been the investment country.
As his idol LΓΌ Buwei said: Strange goods can live, strange goods can live!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yuan Guangguo's act of releasing the slaves and maids is equivalent to throwing a spark on a pile of dry firewood.
Immediately, a raging flame ignited.
And right away, there was a chain reaction.
After Yuan Guangguo, another Guanzhong giant was captured by his own son.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Huayin County, in front of the Yang family.
Yang Chang, the contemporary head of the family, endured the pain and threw a bunch of contracts into the brazier.
What followed was the cheers of hundreds of slaves and maids and the sound of kowtowing in gratitude.
The Yang family is a family with a number of people in Guanzhong, a real powerful family.
The ancestor of the Yang family is a hero of Emperor Gao, and Chiquan waits for Yang Xi.
When it was passed on to the previous generation, in the fourth year of the Yuan Ding, the Yang family was out of waiting due to money.
Although the Yang family is out of wait, they are still rich and noble.
In Huayin, it has been deeply cultivated for a hundred years, occupying hundreds of hectares of land, and thousands of tenants, slaves, retainers, and domestic servants.
The Yang family is a well-known scholar family in Guanzhong.
In the past dynasties, he has been famous for being a writer.
Yang Chang, the contemporary head of the family, became famous at a young age and has a clear reputation in Guanzhong.
Therefore, he was able to be favored by Sima Qian, who was ordered by Taishi, and married his beloved daughter.
Relying on this relationship, Yang Chang became friendly with Li Ling, a young man who was also Sima Qian's favorite, and through Li Ling's recommendation, he got on the line with Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche, and was recommended by Huo Guang as Langzhong.
"Father's benevolence and righteousness will be praised by the world!" Beside him, two teenagers who were no more than seventeen or eighteen years old bowed and congratulated.
"Uncle is benevolent and righteous, and little nephew admires!" A scholar who was a few years older than Yang Chang's two sons also congratulated.
This person is none other than Yang Wangzhi, a student of Tai.
He is also Yang Chang's nephew and the son of his cousin.
Yang Chang was still a little painful, reluctantly, smiled, and said: "Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness, I also know it......"
But in fact, my heart still hurts and I feel a little uncomfortable.
Although only about 100 people were released this time, it was equivalent to 20% of the slaves and maids in his family.
But......
A hundred slaves and maids can make a net profit of one million per year from the output of land alone!
Not to mention that they can also take it to serve and earn more.
Just let it go......
Yang Chang felt that millions or even tens of millions of cuties were leaving him.
However......
He had to put.
Not only because of the sons and nephews who persuade them every day, but also because of ......
He set his sights on the interior of his home.
He fears his wife.
In fact, the release of the slave was entirely a decision made by his wife.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yang's move leveraged the dominoes.
Because the Yang family is a family in Guanzhong, a real hero, a family that has been precipitated for a hundred years.
Yang's move is equivalent to pulling the valve of the entire Guanzhong.
The old Yang family has released the slaves and maids.
Others, they have to seriously consider whether to follow up.
Words to follow up...... The hemp egg is so uncomfortable!
But if you don't follow up, you'll be poked in the backbone!
The merchants and nobles of the Haoqiangshi clan suddenly felt that they were being put under the knife.
But there are still ignorant young people at home, who are blindly coaxing.
As if he doesn't release the slave and the slave, and does not reduce the speed of the slave, he is a villain and a thief!
The powerful nobles had never encountered such a situation.
What's even more terrifying is that the storm of public opinion quickly took shape and swept the entire public opinion circle in Guanzhong with lightning speed.
After the Yuan and Yang families took the lead in releasing the slaves and maids, it has become the choice of the gentleman or villain to release or not to release the slaves and maids.
Not only that, but the powerful nobles felt very uncomfortable.
The Gu Liang school felt even more uncomfortable and distressed.
Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness, this is Gu Liang's god card, and it is Gu Liang's banner!
But now, under this banner, it is the Taixue Ram School that advocates and hosts public opinion outside.
It's very uncomfortable.
What's even more uncomfortable is ......
They had to go further, they had to participate, they had to join.
That's what makes them physically and mentally exhausted the most.
But what can be done?
If this matter, from beginning to end, it is the Ram School that is speaking out, advocating and presiding.
What will the people of the world think of Gu Liang in the future?
Do you think that the Guliang School is a hypocrite?
Especially the crown prince and the eldest grandson!
There was no way, after two days of silence, when the Yang family also released the voice of the slave maid, it came.
Gu Liang magnate, Mr. Jiang Sheng had to speak out, he announced that all his disciples should release a certain number of slaves and maids in line with the way of the sages.
If you can't do it, you're not a disciple, and if you can't do it, you can beat the drum.
Well, this Jiang Gong has received dozens of disciples.
Under the strict order of the teacher, whether he wanted to or not, the gentleman of Guliang had to announce the release of the slave maid.
However, many gentlemen said that they had very few slaves, so they could only release a dozen or even a few......
