On the second day of the opening of the Four People's Conference, there was a sea of people in front of the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

"Next!"

Yang Qing, who was sitting behind the table in front of the door, shouted.

Then a little maid in front of him walked forward with a smile and saluted, staring at the Marquis of Zhongyong with big watery eyes and not at all afraid. Yang Qing looked up at her, took out one from the pile of deeds of sale in front of him, and threw it into the brazier next to him, while Chen Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the other side, handed over a prepared contract......

This is the public release of slaves by the Hou Mansion.

In order to carry out the orders of the prison state, the Marquis of Zhongyong publicly released all the slaves and maids in his house in front of the gate of his house.

Then change to hire.

"Xiang'er, are you willing to continue to work as a maid in the Hou Mansion? The monthly salary is three yuan, including food, clothing, accommodation and medical care, year-end bonuses ranging from performance to performance, and one day off every four days. ”

Yang Qing said with the contract.

One yuan is one or two pieces of silver, including food, housing, clothing, and medical care, plus three or two monthly salaries, this salary is extremely high.

"The maid is willing!"

The little maid said with a smile.

Whoever will leave the Hou Mansion because of the release of the slave order is really a fool, whoever enters the Hou Mansion as a maid is not always with a dream of a palace fight, the silver is not worth mentioning, and the opportunity to win the Zhongyong Marquis in one fell swoop is the most important.

"Don't call yourself a servant anymore, the word slave and maid are not allowed to appear in the Hou Mansion in the future, and the male hired workers in the house will be called male servants, or they can also be called servants directly, and the female ones will be called maids. Do a good job, this contract is signed for five years, and if you don't ask to leave after five years, it will be automatically renewed. ”

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

"Servant, no, maid Xie Houye!"

Then Xiang'er, who had turned into a maid, hurriedly stepped forward to sign the contract and press her handprint, and then showed a shy smile at Hou Ye, and then happily went to get her maid costume that was said to have been designed by Hou Zhongyong himself.

"Hmph, this little goblin!"

Yuan Yuan snorted coldly on the side.

Pity her is still a sister! Even Kou Baimen and Li Xiangjun have letters of appointment, but she is still a younger sister, and she has to watch the little goblins rush towards Yang Qing one after another.

"Next!"

Yang Qingfei said without hearing.

The second leprechaun is ready to go.

At this moment, suddenly a man rushed over, crying and throwing himself at Yang Qing's feet......

"Master Hou, the slave is born as the person of the Hou Ye, and death is the ghost of the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye does not want the slave, the slave would rather die! The slave was taken captive by Jiannu since he was a child, and his relatives in his hometown died at the hands of Jiannu, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye rescue, he was still in Jiannu as a cow and a horse at this time, and the slave swore at that time that he would recognize Hou Ye as a master in this life. Master Hou, you can't just don't want a minion! You're a minion! You don't want a minion, what are the minions still alive! ”

He hugged Yang Qing's leg and cried.

A group of men who followed him also knelt down and wept, crying to the onlookers.

Yang Qing hurriedly got up and helped him up.

"Yang Ping, you all followed me to kill Jiannu in Liaodong, you are all my brothers, as long as you are willing to follow me, then you will always be my brothers! But since we are brothers, I can no longer treat you as slaves, you are all human beings, all Chinese people, just like me, so what qualifications do I have to take you as slaves? Today, if you are willing to continue to be a brother with me Yang Qing, you will burn your identity deeds and then sign an employment contract, if you don't burn these identity deeds, then you will no longer be my brother! ”

He said.

"Master Hou, the slave is willing to be a slave!"

Another man in the back cried.

"The people of China don't slave anyone, and no one can enslave you in the future, and I can't either, if you want to do it, we'll be brothers!"

Yang Qing said.

The house slaves cried.

At the same time, Yang Qing picked up the deed of sale, took out a deed of sale and handed it to Yang Ping and then looked at him, Yang Ping took the deed of sale with tears in his eyes, and also raised his head to look at Yang Qing, Yang Qing looked at him with encouraging eyes, Yang Ping then used a trembling hand to hand the deed of sale to the brazier.

He wiped away his tears and finally let go.

The deed of sale immediately turned into flames.

"Good brother!"

Yang Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Zhongyong took the deeds of sale and walked to the house slaves behind......

"This guy is getting better at acting!"

In a carriage not far away, Qu Shiyun looked at Yang Qing through the glass window, and said with disdain in his eyes.

Obviously, Yang Qing's clumsy acting skills are simply outrageous, needless to say, tomorrow the front page of Yingtian Daily should be the loyal and brave marquis to release the slave with tears, and all the family slaves are forced to die, and they still do not change the determination of the loyal and brave marquis to release the slave. In the end, he used sensational sentences to glorify this incident as a landmark event for the release of slaves, and used moral kidnapping to force those wealthy gentry who had not yet acted to the torture seat of justice.

It's just outrageous.

Qu Shilang expressed strong contempt for this.

He was a disciple of the water being too cold.

This first assistant of the eternal calendar in history, a national hero who drank and played chess with Zhang Tongchang after the destruction of Guilin City and calmly waited for death, is now gradually becoming the backbone of the Donglin Qunxian, although he is actually almost sixty. I have to say that the sages of Donglin are all old and strong, of course, from another point of view, this is also a kind of sadness, they really have no successor, a group of fifty or sixty old men are struggling, trying to redeem this era that has almost irretrievably slipped into the abyss.

They are already the last defenders of the age of the Lord's saints and sages.

That's pretty admirable.

These old stubborns are just like the alien races that swept the world in the original history, and they are still struggling to support the dynasty that has collapsed until the end of their lives, struggling to support the sunset of the feudal era......

At this time, their enemies were no longer aliens.

Their enemies are heretics.

However, in their opinion, heresy should be more hateful than aliens.

After all, aliens can be edified.

But heresy cannot be indoctrinated at all.

Originally, in history, he even did not hesitate to go to Macao to save the Ming Dynasty, and Qu Shiyun, who hired Portuguese mercenaries, watched Yang Qing's sensational performance in the distance with hatred for heresy.

"He's doing it on purpose."

Zhang Guowei, who was half-lying on the seat next to him, sneered.

The four-wheeled carriage ordered by Qu Shiyun in Yangqing's depot is a high-end product, and the seats are all new-style spring cushions, covered with carved velvet, and the interior is also velvet decoration, which is very valuable, but it is not worth mentioning for Qu Shiyun, whose grandfather was a high school member. Even because it was winter, there was a state-of-the-art water heater next to the driver's seat in front of it, and a copper radiator connected to the inside of the carriage, which was as warm as spring when the windows were closed. This high-end means of heating has been first promoted in places such as the Imperial Palace, the Queen Mother's Wanshou Palace, and the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and is being sought after by wealthy families in Nanjing, and even counterfeit goods have appeared.

After all, the old-fashioned heating system doesn't really have much technical content.

Large-scale district heating is certainly not a no-go.

But the water heating stove for home heating in winter is really not high-tech, and the casting of cast iron radiators is indeed not so simple, but it does not need to be as complicated as modern times, a simple water cooling device, even an empty water tank can be used.

"Let's see how he cocoons himself!"

Qu Shiyun said hatefully.

Of course, these old foxes could guess Yang Qing's true purpose, and they didn't expect that Yang Qing would use this trick that can be called self-harm to force those rich people to pay for it. Why did this guy come to have so much self-confidence, he was not afraid to force the gentry to fight the same enemy in this way, and then usher in the Son of Heaven of Longxing and finally serve the Son of Heaven to beg for thieves? Even many military generals were affected by the order of freeing slaves, who also had domestic slaves under their commands, and although the old domestic slave army was a thing of the past, the generals still had domestic slaves as middle and low-ranking officers in the army.

Even in the hands of Jiangnan generals, there are also a large number of peasants.

Including a big guy like Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong, Huang Degong, and even Huang Fei, Zhang Mingzhen, Huang Binqing, these generals in the army, all have a large number of domestic slaves, and they are the most important military leaders under Yang Qing. Yang Qing's slave release order also affected their interests, and it can be said that Yang Qing offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty at once, from the court to the people.

So he is not afraid that these people will defect?

When the time comes, as soon as the Son of Longxing comes, the local gentry raise troops to clear the king's side, and the military generals defect, it can be said that he will be embattled in an instant, and the only people who support him are ordinary people, slaves and maids, and it is useless for these people to support him again. Since ancient times, no one has relied on the support of these people to achieve things, even if the Ming Taizu founded the country, it also relied on the support of the Jiangnan gentry, and it also relied on Huaixi tyrants like Guo Zixing.

Yang Qing doesn't even understand this, right?

Is he really so confident that he is empty-eyed?

Qu Shiyun lowered the curtain with doubts, and the four-wheeled carriage slowly moved forward on the stone street, accompanied by the warm winter sun, until it returned to Qu Shiyun's mansion in Nanjing.

One of them was waiting for them.

After Qu Shiyun and the two entered the door, the housekeeper immediately closed the door from the outside.

"Guang Sangong, it's been a long time!"

Qu Shiyun arched his hand and said.

In front of him was an old man about the same age, who looked to be about sixty, but he was in good spirits, wearing a green shirt, standing up and smiling and saluting......

Well, this is Ding Kuichu.

Guangzhou Nanming Ministry of Shangshu, Chongzhen's former governor Henan Huguang, the military department of Shangshu, but Chongzhen Nandu simply dismissed him because of his poor performance in Henan, he was a native of Henan, and he would not have been popular among the ministers in Nanjing. After that, Ding Kuichu and Hou Sui got together and joined Zuo Liangyu's Qingjun side, and finally joined King Gui's camp as in the original history, and became King Gui's important minister.

In other words, this is King Gui's man.
