Yin Ji stopped at the edge of Chenshan and did not leave, and of course the others had to stay.

Although no one knew what the princess was waiting for, after the strange collapse of the mine, no one dared to say a word.

In fact, for the past four days, the officials of Fan County have been in a state of panic.

Not only did they evacuate from Chenshan, but also thousands of miners.

And these officials, as well as their dependents, have never seen so many living, dirty, slick, skinny men in their lives.

The noblewomen, and the maidservants who were close to them, screamed and looked away, as if the miners were in a huge garbage dump, and the slightest look would be a great insult.

Officials are in a different mood.

After the princess left Chenshan, she asked them to stand by, and when it was time to eat, she suddenly sent someone to ask what these miners were eating, and why they didn't see them start.

Lei Dong was the county guard, of course he didn't know about these trivial things, so he immediately asked Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu was clear, and hurriedly replied, slaves eat aged rice every day - the kind that has not been husked.

Anyone who has actually eaten this thing will know that if this thing is swallowed raw, it is so rough that it can even cut through the throat, and even if it is cooked, it will be difficult to swallow.

But what about the rice that should have been fed to the miners? Why hasn't it been taken out for a long time?

Usually perfunctory, but now that the princess is here, the temple people can see whether the slaves are eating or not, and what they are eating, and the officials of Fan County are not afraid.

Although in the eyes of these people, slaves are not human beings at all, but after a hundred years of changes, the successive monarchs of the Zhao Kingdom have almost killed the family, and at the same time have abolished the slavery system one after another, and liberated most of the slaves and maids. Let the former slaves and slaves all become homesteaders, holding a plow in one hand and a sword in the other, so that the Zhao Kingdom will be strong for a hundred years.

The so-called slaves in the country, the real names are "Chengdan" and "Hidden Officials", all of whom have committed crimes and their descendants. The dirtiest, most tiring, and most bitter work in the world, with the highest mortality rate, such as repairing the king's tomb, repairing the river embankment, repairing military fortresses, etc., Zhaoguo gave priority to letting Chengdan do it, and if the number of people was not enough, it would be levied and conscripted.

The people, just stay for the country to farm and fight.

Because of this, Chengdan and Yinguan belong to the private property of the royal family, both nominally and in fact, and no one else can touch them.

Therefore, if the princess asks what these miners are, the Lei family must not answer that they are slaves, otherwise it will be a definite crime of trespassing.

But to talk about slaves?

A place is strong, with more than 10,000 slaves and maids, comparable to the royal family?

What do you want!

Noise? Gathering a crowd to rebel? Ripping the Ground and Sealing the King?

Although the princes of the imperial court knew the situation in Fan County and turned a blind eye, the people in other counties didn't know! If it is exposed in public that Fan County Haoqiang uses the people of a county as slaves and maids, and everyone knows about it, the matter will be serious.

If it really comes to that point, at least one of the three princes, Xiangbang and Yushi Dafu, will commit suicide and use their lives to apologize, and the court must immediately send a large army to recruit these rebellious ministers and thieves, otherwise the majesty of the court cannot be maintained.

This is also very simple, the people of Fan County can be made into slaves by Haoqiang, but the court doesn't care, so can I learn from other counties and have a surname?

The twenty-four counties of Zhaoguo, if they all play like this, what if the court doesn't care?

managed, it was necessary to clean up with Fan County; No matter what, the rules will all be broken, what are you talking about to dominate the industry?

It cannot be said that it is a slave or a slave, so it can only be said that it is a common people who "voluntarily" come to mine to make money.

In this case, things are in trouble.

Since you are a common people, how can you not talk about the wages first, you must at least give the people a good meal, right?

Just like the ministers and celebrities like to support their customers, they will definitely not pay money every month, no one can afford to spend so much, at most they just have to eat and live.

However, Yang Xiu sent someone to ask the overseer why he didn't cook for the miners. The overseer trembled, but he stubbornly said that all that had been sent to them all the time was the small, black, and moldy rice that was so moldy that they could not eat it at all, and all kinds of beans that sprouted and grew hair.

Even if such a person could not eat at all, the overseer did not have enough stock.

The Lei family originally gave them food every seven days, but the last time it was given was two days ago, which was only enough for each miner to eat once a day, and it was seventy percent full.

But less than half of the food that the overseer actually got in his hands was.

In order to prevent the miners from gathering to make trouble when they are full, he can only save some flowers, and give the miners food once every two or three days.

The overseer also felt that he was quite witty, after all, he was a small person who didn't dare to ask about the things above, but he couldn't help it if the miners made trouble. Now it is best to do this, the miners are starving, they have no strength to escape, as for whether they have the strength to work...... The whips of the foremen, are they fake?

But when asked, the overseer was terrified. He didn't even dare to move the leftover grain out, because when he moved, the musty smell was so great that he couldn't cover it at all.

At that moment, Yang Xiu's face was extremely ugly.

In the end, she could only take off her hairpin, wear coarse linen clothes, kneel not far from the car, and plead guilty to the princess.

Because she knew that the others were already ready to put the blame on her.

This is Chen County, the Lei family is responsible for mining, and the people who snub the miners are also the servants of the Lei family.

Yin Xiu didn't say anything, Yang Xiu knelt for three days, the grain of rice did not enter, I really don't know what supports her, and she has not fallen down so far.

And the place where she knelt had become an open space, where people came and went, but no one dared to lean towards her.

"This group of people is really ......" Biao Wanzi sneered, and swallowed the second half of the sentence without saying anything.

Do they think that by pushing a Yang Xiu and her son out, this matter can be solved lightly?

Her grandfather was ranked as the secretary, respected by the four generations of King Zhao, enjoyed the position of the king, and had nearly a thousand slaves in the family, and he could not kill the slaves and maids at will, so as not to be sued and said to be a slighter life. Fan Jun Haoqiang unrestrainedly enslaved the people, so that the people lived a life that was inferior to animals, and they should all be killed!

Not only Biao Wanzi, but also the other palace people knew very well in their hearts that Yang Xiu definitely didn't know that the grain that had been allocated had become like this in the hands of the miners.

In this matter, even if Yang Xiu is not innocent enough, he is not so guilty. After all, there is definitely more than one person in the middle.

But before the palace people entered the palace, most of them were from ordinary people, seeing that Fan County was so luxurious, but the people were living a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs, how could they be comfortable?

If the princess was willing to let it go, it would be fine, but now, the princess's attitude is obviously not like that, and they pretend not to know, no one accepts the Lei family's generous gifts, and no one helps Yang Xiu speak.

But at the moment when the earth shook and the mountains shook, Yin Xi first closed her eyes and sensed it, and then said slowly: "Let Yang Xiu come over." ”
