Zhang Yue immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Yi Jing asks my sister-in-law An ......"

When my sister-in-law saw Zhang Yue, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please get up quickly, ......."

He asked again, "Isn't my uncle busy with official business?" How did you come back? ”

"Back to my sister-in-law, Yi went home this time, in addition to saving relatives, there are still some things to discuss with my sister-in-law......" Zhang Yue said, and glanced lightly at the palace woman beside his sister-in-law.

The other party is still quite beautiful, with a slender posture and a graceful and plump body, coupled with his background, I am afraid that he can hook the souls of many men.

Pity......

Zhang Yue is in the palace, and he has heard too many 'good things' of the emperor and the daughter of the Liu family.

I have no interest in being someone else's guest in the curtain.

But the sister-in-law was very enthusiastic, took the hand of the palace lady, and introduced to Zhang Yue: "I was about to introduce to my uncle, this one is Mrs. Luan, these days, thanks to Mrs. Luan's help, otherwise the concubine really doesn't know how to take care of the affairs of the manor......"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he hurriedly bowed to the woman: "Madame has helped her sister-in-law with her kindness, and she is grateful, and she will be rewarded!" ”

In any case, the other party actually helped the sister-in-law, at the very least, so that the sister-in-law could have someone to talk to.

If she stops there, she no longer covets anything else, and concentrates on the role of being a good sister-in-law's best friend.

Zhang Yuezi will give her some benefits.

But if you're afraid, you're afraid, the other party has bad intentions!

The emperors and clan girls of the Liu family are much more powerful than the princesses and emperors of Li Tang.

Princess Taiping only enveloped a group of courtiers at most, but the powerful characters among the emperors of the Liu family even enveloped most of the courtiers under their pomegranate skirts!

Liu Ling, the daughter of Liu An, the king of Huainan, even developed the guests into the army.

Wei Qing's general, Zhang Cigong, was gloriously planted under the pomegranate skirt of this lord and became the opponent's little wolf dog.

Of course, the most famous is the late Princess Guantao Taichang.

The aunt of the Son of Heaven has contributed many classic words to the Chinese thesaurus.

For example, the protagonist, the green hat, was created by Dong Yan, the face of the eldest princess.

Therefore, Zhang Yue instinctively resisted all Liu's adult women.

"The servant is too polite...... Mrs. Luan didn't seem to show much interest in Zhang Yue, she kept standing beside her sister-in-law, Ying Ying returned Zhang Yue's salute, and said: "The concubine and sister-in-law Ling are like sisters at first sight...... What's more, it's just a trivial matter, so you don't need to thank the servant......"

Well?

Zhang Yue glanced at the other party and felt that something seemed wrong?

But he didn't think much about it, as long as this woman didn't have any thoughts that were unfavorable to his sister-in-law or Rou Niang.

So he said: "Today, my sister-in-law and I still need to go back to discuss some matters, so I won't bother my wife......"

The other party listened, smiled at Zhang Yue and sister-in-law Yingying: "Since there is something to do in the service, then Mrs. Zhang's concubine will invite Mrs. to come to the door another day and continue today's topic......"

The sister-in-law listened and said with a smile: "Mrs. Luan is polite......"

So, Zhang Yue drove ahead, while his sister-in-law and Rou Niang followed in a chariot and embarked on the way back.

………………………………

Soon, Zhang Yue took his sister-in-law and Rou Niang back to his manor.

As soon as he entered the village, Zhang Yue instructed Li Miao: "Go and gather all the tenant farmers in the village, I will have something to say later......"

The planning of this manor has to be redesigned.

"No!" Li Miao immediately took the order, turned over and got out of the car to summon people.

Zhang Yue parked his carriage in front of the newly built courtyard of the manor, and soon the carriage in which his sister-in-law was riding also returned.

Zhang Yue took the initiative to step forward, led the horse over, and tied it up.

Then he helped his sister-in-law and Rou Niang out of the carriage.

"Sister-in-law, that Mrs. Luan, how did sister-in-law meet?" Zhang Yue took advantage of this opportunity and asked in a low voice.

"The concubine met this Mrs. Luan at the family banquet of the Zhou family's sister-in-law...... "The sister-in-law did not doubt him, and replied: "Since the acquaintance, Mrs. Luan has often come to the manor to play, and she also took the initiative to send people to help the concubine plan the affairs of the manor, and even borrowed many craftsmen to help, so she became familiar with it......"

"Oh......" Zhang Yue nodded, already counting in his heart.

He had long heard that in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an, there was a group of women who specialized in meeting and befriending women from various aristocratic families, vying to be people's best friends.

Then took advantage of his girlfriend to become a second-class dealer and a similar broker.

If what the other party wants is just like this, Zhang Yue will let him go.

I'm afraid that he has something else to do.

"What? Uncle thinks there is something wrong with this Mrs. Luan? The sister-in-law also heard something, and hurriedly asked: "If this is the case, then the concubine will not interact with her in the future......

"It doesn't have to be!" Zhang Yue smiled and said to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, in this Nanling territory, there is no one who can harm my family!" ”

That's the truth!

Captain Changshui's battalion was on the opposite bank, and since this Zhuangzi became an industry under Zhang Yue's name, the Changshui cavalry increased their patrols in this area.

On average, four times a day!

And the situation will be summarized every ten days, sent to Chang'an Lantai, and handed over to Zhang Yue by Lantai.

This is the welfare of the mid-servant, and it is also the system of the state!

After all, in theory, Han Shizhong served the Son of Heaven day and night, and if his family was held hostage, wouldn't it be possible to endanger the safety of the Son of Heaven?

Therefore, the security of the area around the residence of the family of the lieutenant and the safety of his family has always been the top priority.

The scale of security is no lower than Jiuqing's level.

So the security issue is not worried.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter.

That Mrs. Xinwu Junluan, if she is honest and keeps her duty, it will be fine.

If she dares to think crookedly, her father's fate will be her fate!

But the sister-in-law was a little lost.

Mrs. Luan is one of her few friends in recent years.

Now, her most trusted uncle tells her that there may be something wrong with this friend.

This inevitably made her a little melancholy.

When Zhang Yue saw it, he hurriedly comforted: "Sister-in-law doesn't need to take this matter to heart, just pay attention to it in her heart, and communicate with the rest of the ......."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself a little and said, "Maybe it's a good thing to attract this Mrs. Luan to get close......

Brokers are always chasing power, and whoever has the power to chase whom.

In a sense, a broker is eyeing his sister-in-law, which is still proof of Zhang Yue's status.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now...... Zhang Yue put the topic aside for the time being, he planned to go back to Chang'an, and ask Zhi Jinwu to help investigate this Xinwu Junluan Lady - this is Zhi Jinwu's own job, to find out and eliminate any hidden dangers that may endanger the safety of the palace.

"Sister-in-law, my little brother came back this time, in addition to looking at the situation at home, he wanted to take Rou Niang to Xinfeng......" Zhang Yue said with a smile, and now his foundation in Xinfeng is preliminarily completed.

It's possible to pick up Rou Niang.

"In addition, Huo Lingjun, the commander of Fengche, is going to get married, and the younger brother is invited to prepare a gift to go over......"

The night after tomorrow is Huo Guang's wedding banquet.

This time Huo Guang was very low-key, as far as Zhang Yue knew, except for a few friends and relatives, he only invited his colleagues, that is, various important officials of the Inner Dynasty.

As for the princes of the foreign courts, except for Wang Mang, who has always had a good relationship with him, he did not invite any of them.

This is also in line with this Huo Lingjun's usual style of acting - at this point in time, Huo Guang is not best known for his talent, knowledge and political opinions.

It's low-key and disciplined.

You may not believe it when you say it, the idiom of not learning and not learning is originally used to describe Huo Guang.

In the eyes of the world, this close minister of the Son of Heaven, Captain Fengche, is almost a little transparent.

Even Zhang Yue's current reputation is bigger than him!

Who would have thought that after his death today, this unlearned and unskilled, even when he went to court, every step was exactly the same as yesterday, and the taciturn Fengche Lieutenant supported the backbone of the empire.

He single-handedly created the material foundation of Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, and clamped the throat of the Huns, causing them to suffocate and lose blood.

So much so that even Emperor Xuan had to respect him as the head of the heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, and the portrait was enshrined, not written by name, but said: Great Sima, Great General, Bolu Hou Huo Gong.

It is precisely because I know that I have to be solemn.

What's more, Huo Guang is actually kind to him, and he can be regarded as half a master.

It was this Fengche Lieutenant who reported the information that he might be waiting for later, and reported to the Son of Heaven that made him who he is today.

Therefore, in addition to being solemn, you must also be attentive, and try your best to express your attention and respect for each other.

The most important thing is - Zhang Yue knows, who is the wife Huo Guang is going to marry now?

That's not a good thing.

Sister-in-law listened, nodded, and said, "That's how it should ......."

Who is the so-called Captain Bongche? How high is the official position? She didn't know.

But she understands that this Huo Lingjun is probably still above his uncle, so he can't slack off.

So he said, "What is my uncle going to prepare as a gift?" The concubine is going to prepare for ......."

Zhang Yue thought about it for a while, and said: "Go and get 300 gold and 50 pieces of silk, and put them in the gift box!" ”

This is also the standard for Zhang Anshi to mention his gifts.

"Hmm!" When the sister-in-law heard this, she took Rou Niang into the yard to prepare to pack the relevant gifts.

Zhang Yue straightened his shirt and walked forward.

In the distance, the people working in the manor had been gathered in a leveled open space by Li Miao and Tian He brothers.

Zhang Yue made a slight visual inspection, and there were about 70 people, basically all of whom were over 30 years old, and many of them even had disabilities of one kind or another.

They looked at Zhang Yue who was walking towards them with worry and apprehension.

For the poor people, life has long since polished all the edges and corners of their bodies, as smooth as the pebbles in the river.

Their demeanor and standing posture were the same as before—they were almost all curled up, their feet slightly bent, as if they still had shackles on their bodies and shackles on their feet.

Looking at their appearance, Zhang Yue remembered the appearance of slaves and maids in the murals unearthed from some Han Dynasty tombs that he had traced.

They were shackled and worked with wooden or stone tools.

When sleeping, they are shackled by the overseers to prevent escape.

For the owner, they are the same as cattle and sheep, they are all property.

Now seeing these poor people who have been oppressed and exploited to nothing, Zhang Yue knows that he can be more ruthless and ruthless towards the Zuochuan School and the Guliang School in the future.

Because, it is these scum who are turning back history!

A few days ago, he shouldn't have let go of the Gu Liang School in Bowangyuan, he should have chased and fought hard!

"Ladies and gentlemen......" Zhang Yue walked in front of them and bowed his hand slightly: "Under Zhang Zizhong, add to be the master of this manor......"

With a bang, all these people knelt down and bowed: "I have seen the lord......"

Many did not even dare to look up and buried their heads deep in the ground.

This is almost unimaginable among normal Han Chinese!

Since the crossing, there has been no such existence among the people Zhang Yue has encountered.

Even if it is a eunuch in the palace, although it seems to be submissive, he also has a personality and will not grovel to people casually.

But now, Zhang Yue saw the state of the people under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.

These people have been worn out from the roots, and the pride and pride left to them by their ancestors in their bones have become walking corpses.

An empty shell!

They have no pursuit or hope in life, only the survival instinct of survival!

And normal Han people can't be like this.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms and shouted, the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?

Xiang Yu saw Qin Shi Huang's car and dared to say: I can replace him!

Liu Bang saw Qin Shi Huang's convoy on patrol, and dared to say: The husband should be like this!

But these people no longer have such a spirit.

Zhang Yue didn't even doubt that no matter how much he squeezed and exploited and even abused and insulted these people, they would not say a word or say a word.

As long as they have food to eat and can live, they will not resist.

This is the most terrible and the most terrifying state of mind.

What's even more terrifying is that they will intend these things to their children and grandchildren.

And this is unacceptable to Zhang Yue!

Zhuxia nobles, can An be like this?

Even for the sake of his doctrine of manifest destiny, he must bring back his pride and spirit as a human being.

"How can you do this?" Zhang Yue's face turned pale, and he instructed Tian He and Li Miao brothers: "Quickly help the gentlemen up!" ”

He himself bowed to everyone and said, "But the kings have tormented me......"

"My ancestor Dong Zi once taught me: Heaven always takes love and profit as the intention, and takes raising the elder as a thing, and the public is the subject of the Son of Heaven, and the nobles of Zhuxia can no longer be so easy to give gifts to others in the future!" Although he has not officially gone to Dong Zhongshu's mausoleum, he bowed three times and bowed nine times, offered the worship of the teacher, called him a disciple, and gave him a mantle, but he can also call himself a 'disciple of Dong Zhongshu' without modesty at all.

And the Dong family of the Ram School, even in the Ram School, is an outlier.

Because, Dong Zhongshu was addicted to copying hundreds of schools of thought back then, and he unceremoniously pulled the Mo family's things into his own bowl, and changed the Mo family's Tianzhi, Ming ghosts, and love, and turned them into his own things.

Zhang Yue intends to go one step further.

After all, if the teacher copies it, the student can't copy it?

He planned to further learn from the good example of his teacher and integrate the position of the Mo family into the thinking of the Ram School.
