Chapter 137: Buying People's Hearts
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Gujia Village, I saw Zhuangtou who heard the news and rushed to greet him.
Gu Zhuangtou is a middle-aged man in his forties who looks honest and honest. He should have been greeted by the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and as soon as Xia Wanrou's carriage arrived, he immediately led them to the room that had been cleaned up in advance for rest.
Xia Wanrou said to him: "I invited a bookkeeper, slender and long, surnamed Gu Yueyue, you let people pay attention, if he arrives, he will bring people over." ”
"Yes, don't worry, the princess, and rest your feet first, the villain will definitely let people do it." Then in front of Xia Wanrou, he instructed a little descendant, "Go to the entrance of the village and wait, when Mr. Yue arrives, he will say that the princess has arrived, and quickly lead him here." ”
Xia Wanrou nodded with satisfaction.
When they arrived at the resting place, they immediately had a few mothers-in-law in Zhuangzi clean up their bodies and came to prepare braziers, melons, fruits and tea for Xia Wanrou and others.
The Zhuang family didn't have much knowledge, so Xia Wanrou and other women entered the lounge, took off their hats, and immediately looked straight at each other.
Secretly whispered: "The nobles are different from the girls in our Zhuangzi. ”
"Look at the grandeur of the body, and then look at the handsome little face, it's like a fairy in the sky has descended to earth."
"Amitabha, the other one is like the Guanyin Niangniang seen at the temple fair!"
Princess Lanhuang grew up in a small palace, and there are flattering people around her, but it is the first time that she has been praised so bluntly, she is a little ashamed and speechless.
Seeing her like this, Xia Wanrou took a bergamot for Lanhuang to play with, and chatted with several mothers-in-law: "Did your Zhuangzi harvest last year be good?" How is the New Year? ”
"It's all good." A chubby eldest woman wiped her hands and replied, "The eldest princess is generous, and she gives us free rent from time to time, and our life in Gujia Village is better than that of several Zhuangzi around!" ”
"I just became a princess, the first time I managed such a big family business, and now I accept Gujia Village, I won't give you rent free in the future, everything must be in accordance with the rules." Xia Wanrou said with a smile.
If someone else said this, the mother-in-law would definitely not give a good face. But Xia Wanrou is too good-looking, and she speaks well, although the meaning of her words is a little bad, but she looks very kind, in the face of such a person, the mother-in-law can't have an ugly face, so she can only look at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"There is a saying that 'no rules are not a circle', I have not yet been majestic enough, so I have to follow the rules, so that everyone will not think that I am easy to talk and deceive me." Xia Wanrou smiled and explained to them, "However, although you can't give everyone rent-free, you can give everyone a reward." ”
"Reward?" A woman surnamed Liu asked in surprise.
"That is, if any of you is good at farming, hunting, or good deeds, as long as the head of the village comes to the Langwang Mansion, I will let people verify it, and then you can reward this person with a sum of silver or cloth jewelry." Xia Wanrou said with a smile, "As long as everyone works hard, the Langwang Mansion will definitely not treat everyone badly." ”
"That's a good idea!" Everyone was happy again, and Mrs. Zhang said, "As long as the days can get better and better, we will all work hard." ”
This is different from the eldest princess's rent-free from time to time, the eldest princess remembered that she might be free of rent for two or three months at once, but she couldn't think of it, she might not be rent-free all year round, and everyone just wanted to work hard and had no direction. If it is exchanged for a reward, they will work more, the harvest in the field will be more, the rent paid will remain the same, and they can get an additional reward, and the days are too rushing.
They figured it out so quickly, and Xia Wanrou was a little surprised. She originally thought that the Zhuang family had no foresight, only saw the immediate benefits, and she had to spend a lot of time to make sense!
She thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a school in this Zhuangzi?" ”
"There is no school, but there is a master, surnamed Zhu, his hometown suffered in his early years, and the head of the original Gu family took pity on him and wanted him to go to the house as a diner. Zhu Fuzi refused for some reason, and the head of the Gu family sent him to Zhuangzi. We are all coarse people, and we don't understand the etiquette of scholars, so we ask people to bring food to Zhu Fuzi every day, and after a few months, Zhu Fuzi will call the children in the Zhuangzi, both male and female, to his house to study, saying that it is a reward. ”
Xia Wanrou suddenly realized, no wonder the people in this Zhuangzi are so wise and open-minded, it turns out that there is a scholar here to educate them!
She smiled and said: "This is a good thing, since Zhu Fuzi is willing to stay, I will let people come to build a school after I go back, and send some four treasures of the study every once in a while, if you have children who want to study with Zhu Fuzi, you are not allowed to embarrass them." If any of them studied well and was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, I removed his slavery status and let him become an official in the future. ”
"That's a great thing!" Several mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and they all saw ecstasy in each other's eyes, and they hurriedly kowtowed to Xia Wanrou sincerely.
Let the children read and write, their original intention was just to let the children find a light work such as an account room, but they never thought that their children would have a day to become officials!
It is not easy for tenants like them to turn over, and Xia Wanrou gave them a chance to turn over.
Xia Wanrou smiled and asked them to get up.
Princess Lanhuang was stunned for a while, she couldn't help but think in her heart, this sister-in-law is actually quite good-hearted, she herself is from a humble background, but she does not hate the rich, and she takes care of these people from lower backgrounds.
And she is very smart-hearted, incentives and the elimination of slavery in the academy are not difficult for Langwangfu, she uses these to easily make the people of Gujia Village grateful to her, and for a long time, she can give herself a reputation of virtue.
At that time, the rumors about Brother Wang outside might be better.
Just thinking about it, I heard Gu Zhuangtou outside say loudly: "Princess Niangniang, you are waiting for the account room." ”
It's Leya coming.
Xia Wanrou turned her head to look at Lan Huang's reaction, only to see her turn her head to look outside, with expectation on her face, but not shy.
"Come in, all of you!" She commanded.
The first one to come in was Leya.
He changed out of the power suit that the knights like in the rivers and lakes, and changed into a long robe in the account room, with joy on his face, it seems that he is also very willing to cooperate with the action requirements of His Royal Highness King Lang.
Xia Wanrou saw Le Ya and Princess Lanhuang looking at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere between the two immediately became close.
But there is always a trace of weirdness in her heart that cannot be erased, but at this moment, she is not allowed to think about it.
Xia Wanrou opened her mouth and said to the villagers: "You move the account books from last year to the present, and then go home to rest, if there is something, I will let people pass it on to you." ”
What she meant, the people of Gujia Village, don't even leave a mother-in-law. She didn't want to have anyone other than her and Lan Huang Qingya, knowing that the man who came was Leya, not some overstepping the account.
