Chapter 178: Zhuang Tian
The national teacher is Ning Chengyou's greatest help, can the national teacher still watch his beloved apprentice in prison? She doesn't know how long this net Ning Chao Ge Ning Zhiyuan has been paved, and the matter of Xi Shuyuan's slippery tire that everyone has forgotten will actually be used by them as a handle to frame Ning Chengyou, she has also seen those talented people, most of them are people from low backgrounds who are not favored, and the life in the palace is only better than that of the palace maid, if there are people among them who have grievances, it is also possible, that box of jewelry, but it is an important evidence to connect this series of things!
"The national teacher is a guarantor for King Su, saying that King Su has excellent moral character, and it is impossible to do such a thing. However, he is not a person from the imperial court, his words are not strong, and the emperor is angry, and now the national teacher is spending it with the emperor in Ningyuan Palace! ”
The national teacher trusts Ning Chengyou's character, but the Fuhu military mutiny is the emperor's demon, in this matter, Ning Chao Ning Zhiyuan has grasped the emperor's weakness!
"When will King Ning and General Ning Changan return to Beijing?"
"You can arrive on the seventh day of the first month and worship the Son of Heaven with the civil and military officials."
King Ning is a person of temperament, and Ning Chengyou is even more in love, the last time I saw Ning Chaoge talk about his expression, he still had a little respect, obviously this person's identity is not simple, Ning Chang'an, the general of Zhenguo, is Ning Chengyou's future father-in-law, and he can't ignore such a thing when he comes to Beijing! I have to wait until the seventh day of the new year, maybe there is still a chance to turn around.
"If there is any news, tell me as soon as possible, I have asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage to Zhuangtian, you have nothing to do today, although I will go with you!"
The ten Zhuang Tian is the largest property of the Rui Wangfu, although Dahe is not a mercantile society, but in the circle of interests first, it is easy to do things with money, as the mistress of the Rui Wangfu, she must go on this trip.
"Yes!" Forsythia bowed respectfully and stepped aside happily.
"Weng Tong, Dong Qingshui, Ping, Wu Xi, Bai Wei Vanilla, the six of you will also go with me, and the others will stay in Jinseju."
Du Yiyi picked up the hat on the table, asked Forsythia to help him put it on, and then summoned the maid to leave the backyard together.
Zhuang Tian is in the suburbs, it is the season of snow, the road is muddy and very difficult to walk, Du Yiyi, who was sitting in the carriage, was even more bumped by the carriage and almost vomited out the overnight meal, so she got out of the carriage and let the forsythia vanilla support her forward, and the housekeeper followed her to guide the way.
Outside the capital, there are large fields, now covered with snow and white, if it is spring, these snow water will become the best nourishment, and in summer, here will be a large area of green rice.
Because it is the land of the government, these farms are all concentrated, and they are all in a range, from 30 farms to 50 farms, they are all gathered together, and the first thing Du Yiyi has to go to is 30 farms.
The housekeeper had already told the owners of the village about it before, so these owners were prepared, but because Du Yiyi ordered not to disturb the tenants, let alone greet them extravagantly, they went to the gate of the courtyard where the ten owners stood at the 30 farms, and there was no red and green to greet them.
"I've seen the princess, the princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The ten owners knelt down in unison, and Du Yiyi let them get up, and began to enter the courtyard accompanied by the housekeeper and the ten owners.
She wears a hat, and the light veil is like a curtain in front of her, and outsiders can't see the face behind her through the light veil, although it is also a little inconvenient for her to see, but since she is coming to a place like Zhuangtian, she still has to pay attention to it more or less, and if it is rumored that she is not exposed to the woman's way, it will be really wronged.
She had previously reconciled the accounts with the ten owners, but today she only planned to make a visit, first, to see how these farms were governed, and secondly, to find out how the tenants who leased the fields lived.
The ten owners of the village had already prepared, and as soon as Du Yiyi spoke, they asked people to find the villagers in their village tenants to talk to Du Yiyi.
Before these people arrived, Du Yiyi visited the village yard in the 30 farms, the village yard is not big, but the place where farm tools and grain are stored, because the grain after the autumn harvest has been transported to the granary of the Rui Wangfu, and now there is also a place to plant rice in the spring, because this is the official field, the management is its own, in addition to the owner and the guard, there are several strong men here, who are responsible for going to the tenants' houses to collect rent.
In addition to these people and their families, there is nothing else in this village, there is no beautiful scenery, a forest in the eyes, and the backyard is a few rooms for these people who work in the village.
The other farms were the same, and Du Yiyi looked at two places, and then set his eyes on the fields that were still only covered with snow.
Although most of these fields are flat, it is the same horizontal line at a glance, but the land of the last few farms is very uneven, and in the northernmost part is a high mountain, and the smoke can be seen at the bottom of the high mountain, obviously those tenants are settled there, now is not the planting season, and it can only be a general understanding of the situation, because the ridges are mostly muddy, Du Yiyi did not set foot in, but found the owners of the farms with uneven terrain and asked about the difficulties of planting on weekdays.
Originally, these were all official fields, under the unified management of the government, which also has an advantage, that is, almost all of these farms have opened up the irrigation dams, but the three farms due to the topography, but did not get this benefit, after the owner of Li Zhuang personally led people to open the irrigation ditch, the other two also took the tenants to open the ditch, and now the harvest of one acre is not as good as others, but it is better than in previous years.
The head of the village where the tenants lived in groups was brought back by the people sent by the owners, and when Du Yiyi and Ning Zhiyuan returned to the capital, she also spent the night in the farmer's house. But it is also true that the tenants of the official fields are not as good as the peasant households, even if they are arranged without change, there are ten villages, the least of them have leased four acres of land, and when it comes to the spring planting and autumn harvest season, whether it is the seventy-year-old parents or the seven-year-old children in the family, they all need to work in the fields, and the main laborers in the family are working day and night without stopping, but even so, their lives are more than twice as bad as those between the peasant households.
If the crime is not enough to be detained, the government will send them to the official land to let them become tenants to cultivate for the imperial court, the rent of the official land is the heaviest in the world, they can save their lives, but they also live at the bottom of the Oga River, and even their lives cannot be guaranteed, but no one will pay attention to them who are guilty of crimes, they are not allowed to move, the household stickers are taken back by the government, and even their names have been erased from the yellow book. It's just a few people who are waiting to die, who work here on their own and only take three-tenths of the harvest, and multiply here, and these villages are gradually created.
Compared with the original meal, after being given to Ning Zhiyuan, the Rui Wangfu, the rent was reduced, the lives of these tenants have improved slightly, but this improvement is still stretched to maintain the food and clothing of the family, but the ten village chiefs still expressed their gratitude to Ning Zhiyuan Du Yiyi, and they were grateful, these people who lived at the bottom of Dahe's life had been suppressed for too long, and now they are very satisfied with the improvement, and there is no resentment at all.
In the past, when they were under the control of the government, even the villages were guarded by soldiers, and now although they still can't leave this land, at least they have freedom of movement, in the era of no improved super rice, the yield of an acre of land is pitiful, if there is a natural disaster, it is more likely that there will be no harvest, although Du Yiyi pities these people, but this rule is not bad, the whole family of the palace also has to wait for dinner, in addition to promising that their damaged farm tools can be replaced free of charge, these ten people are even more prostrate on the ground grateful.
Zhuang Tian is a big family to maintain the glamorous surface of things, there will be few people related to the life of tenants, they only care how much rent they pay every year, first Ning Zhiyuan for them to reduce the rent, and then Du Yiyi promised to replace farm tools for them free of charge, which has made the tenants very satisfied and grateful, when Du Yiyi left Zhuangtian, it can be seen that the tenants standing in rows on the ridge of the field, most of them are rushing to thank them, they have been ignored by the court all the year round and regarded by the officials as grass mustard, in fact, they are not at fault, they are just the losers who are fighting for power and power. Life and death must not be separated from slavery, and life is like a mustard to live at the foot of the mountain outside the prosperous capital.
Being in the central circle of power fluctuations, Du Yiyi looks at these people, and feels a little sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, if Ning Zhiyuan is defeated and retreats on this road one day, maybe those subordinates in the house will also become poor people like them.
Who will care about their life and death, who will pity their food and clothing, resign themselves to fate, and not help anyone at all!
She spent an afternoon in the farm, before the night fell, she began to return the same way, the arrival of the new year is another year of cultivation and labor for these people, and it is not the same for herself, although she is rich, but like these people, she has no freedom at all.
The matter of King Su had already spread when she entered the city, and the truth had been confusing under the different opinions, but what Jin Yiwei said was the truth? No one can be willing to believe that they must become dragons among people, and there will always be people who will be ruthlessly trampled down and fall into the clouds, become mud, and become spurned by everyone.
Ning Chengyou became the first of their four brothers.
The power of rumors, she felt it again, this time she was not the protagonist, and she was a little more emotional.
