Chapter 186

Why did you create the fascinating phrase "love is stronger than gold"?

Because most of the time, feelings are not as good as gold, "sake red face, gold moves the heart" This is a direct portrayal of human warmth.

In addition, "intellectuals are always the most reactionary", so some old servants who follow Uncle Zhong know about Lao Cai's existence, but these staff members are also the sons of the Yang family...... Of course, it was concealed to death.

So let them manage the accounts until now, all Yang Shangjing's expenditures have no purpose, although the current Yang Shangjing may be killed at any time because of the relationship with the inner court, so he can't get in touch with some of the core secrets of the Yang family, such as maritime trade, commerce, intelligence and other related information, but in terms of money, within 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, can still be used at will.

The Yang family's internal reward, of course, will not use any real money, so when Uncle Zhong saw Lao Cai on the construction site of the Taoist temple, he handed him a deed, with which he could withdraw cash in any of the Yang family's shops.

Fortunately, the Yang family has a big business, so many years, what business, pawn shop not to mention the north and south of the river, the provincial capitals of the southeast provinces are still opened, so it is also very convenient to withdraw, compared with the money village that there is no deposit, there is already a waste paper in the direction of the development of treasure banknotes, it has always been consistent, solid tight.

"It's not my family's Saburo who is in trouble, alas." Lao Cai clutched the five hundred guan in his hand, but his mouth was polite, "Shame, shame." ”

The others looked at the five hundred guan in Lao Cai's hand, and scolded their mother in their hearts, this is a typical example of getting cheap and selling well, their old brothers, added up to Lao Cai's so much money, envy, jealousy, but no way, who let them react on the spot without Lao Cai's speed?

Uncle Zhong shook his head, he still knew a little about the old craftsmen in the family, so he didn't care, and said directly: "It's also a blessing in disguise, if you don't adapt to the situation, I'm afraid that I won't get this result that satisfies the young master." ”

Lao Cai's face was full of red light when he listened, their group of craftsmen who were captive by the Shi clan were not much different from the house slaves, a compliment from the master's family, it was a great honor, but he still sighed: "It's just that this San Lang, alas, the injuries on his body are nothing, but now they are broken." ”

glanced at Lao Cai deeply, Uncle Zhong had seen a lot of this kind of low-level craftsman-style education, so he smiled and said directly: "San Lang is not young this year, right?" If you don't dislike it, the old man will help you be a matchmaker, among the children of our Yang family, as long as they are not selected to serve in the house by the young master, let's talk to the old man directly. ”

Lao Cai's eyes lit up at that time, and he nodded again and again: "Then thank you to the big housekeeper, the Cai family is grateful, grateful." ”

In the feudal era, the big families liked to use the family to have children, that is, to find such a group of domestic servants, so that they could be slaves and maids for generations, so that loyalty was guaranteed, and the family continuation of these slaves would be married to each other, so that after several generations, the relationship would be fixed, and the position of the master would be stable.

Of course, the first generation of this group of slaves may be recruited, or they may be bought, or they may be distributed by the government, the first two are better, if they want to turn over, there is always a way to get rid of slavery, and the latter can be sad and urged, the so-called "slaves and maids from generation to generation, and they will never be able to turn over", this is what he said.

For example, the Confucian family of Qufuyan Shenggong, the court has issued a bunch of tenants, who have been slaves and maids for generations, these people's life and death are not controlled by themselves, they all depend on the snort of the Kong family, even if it is a son-in-law, the children born must continue to be the slaves of the Kong family, if anyone dares to escape, the Kong family is really exhausted, and they have to chase people back - not that they care about one or two servants, the Confucian family has a clear attitude and firm position of "resolutely supporting the emperor, who is the emperor and supporting whom", and the successive dynasties are as stable as Mount Tai, and there are many kinds of seals, can be compared with his family, that is, the vein left by Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Hanliu, in Longhu Mountain, so doing this is just to make an example for other slaves and make an example of chickens and monkeys.

And Uncle Zhong, because he has been with Yang Rong all the year round, has a very high status in the Yang family, that is, the contemporary patriarch, Yang Shangjing's father has to be polite when he sees Uncle Zhong, so with him to protect the media, the entire Cai family is honored, it can be said that the status of the entire family in the small system of the Yang family can climb up, and those "high-ranking servants" who don't look down on their family on weekdays have to sell three points of face.

As for the sentence in Uncle Zhong's words, "I was not favored by the young master of the house", in fact, it was also a kind of master-servant relationship in the feudal era, and the beautiful maid either warmed the bed for the master's family, such as the Zhiqin and Mingqi around Yang Shangjing, or promised to those servants who had made great contributions to the family.

"As long as you are faithful, the lord's family will not be indebted." Uncle Zhong smiled, with a look of disapproval, but the others were fascinated.

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhong changed his words and said to Lao Cai: "The young master has something I want to talk to you about, so let's clean up and go to the county government with me." ”

Lao Cai immediately overjoyed, said goodbye to Uncle Zhong, and went to the Danfang as soon as he turned around, thought about it, and directly put on the magic robe, since his improvisation can win the favor of the young master, then now wearing a gorgeous magic robe, go directly to the county office, is the rumor in the market going to change, what does it become "Cai Xianchang came to the door to pay respects, Yang Xianzun pointed out the maze"?

It's okay to be idle, this old Cai who knows words also likes to read basic books, he vaguely remembers that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, seemed to have a dream in a Taoist temple, and then there was the words "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says", and now his young master has such a high reputation in Huangyan County, he must not mind engaging in similar routines, right?

When Uncle Zhong saw Lao Cai's dress, his brows furrowed, and then his eyes lit up, and he instantly felt that his young master still had two brushes to look at people - the ability to figure out the will and adapt to the situation, but I really didn't see it before.
