No. 428 Evil Slave Bullying Master

Wu Qihua, of course.

In terms of learning ability, the inmates may not be as good as those who have passed the exams or even those who have failed the list. However, the Wei Xia Empire was by no means created equal, and each vassal state had a strict hierarchy, and the Jiaozhi vassal was even more based on caste. A shadow prison student, whose father is at least a prefect, not only is the family energy far better than that of ordinary families, but the educational resources for them cannot be ignored. Even if Wei Dongsheng dies like this, his father's broken door has a social prestige that is far superior to that of a poor man countless times higher.

Wu Qihua subsidized the failed son to study in Vietnam, similar to the national policy attempt, what is needed is not one or two outstanding young people, but hopes that the small court of the Jiaozhi domain will pay attention to it. In such a context, the role model of a shadow prison student is self-evident.

Although Wu Qihua subconsciously disagreed with Wei Dongsheng's choice, he was happy to get a shadow prison student to support him.

Wu Qihua immediately regarded Wei Dongsheng as a role model for horse bones in Qianjin City, and not only personally summoned him to ask for warmth, but also immediately appointed Wei Dongsheng as the deputy envoy of the Yue Guo Study Tour.

At the same time, Wei Dongsheng's choice caused an uproar in the group.

Shi Liang expressed strong disappointment in an almost reprimanding tone: "Brother Wei is confused! ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't bother to argue with Shi Liang about right and wrong, and deliberately laughed and said: "Jiaozhi Guozijian is Guozijian, isn't Yueguo Guozijian also Guozijian?" ”

Shi Liang explained: "With the power of the Wu family, they can only shadow the direct descendants of the eunuch to go to study in the Guozi Prison of the Yue Kingdom, and they have no ability and will not open the door for a group of unsuccessful children." said that it was the Yueguo Guozi Prison, but in fact, it must be the three Haike sub-prisons, and even the worst Xin'an Guozi Prison who was admitted even to the sons of Tan Min. ”

Wei Dongsheng laughed a few words, and found that Shi Liang cared about him sincerely, and gradually became embarrassed to pretend to be confused again. Wei Dongsheng was a little more serious, and used the ocean as an excuse to explain his reasons: "The Western Regions where Ban Dingyuan stopped, the wind and sand cut off the road, Wei Xia has not been able to recover the old land so far, which is a great pity; The Persian capital of the Tang Dynasty was protected by the Persian Protectorate, and the time of existence was negligible. In the eyes of the people of the Han and Tang dynasties, the Western Regions and Persia were already unimaginably far away, and today, sea ships not only travel to and from the old land of Persia every year, but also go west over Kunlun to connect the Great Wilderness; To the west over the ocean of thousands of miles, the value of Penglai. Calculating the mileage, Penglai is several times that of Persia, and the maritime merchants do not realize that it is far away...... Since the third generation of Xia Shang, how has Penglai gone from legend to reality? There has been no major change in 2,000 years. Since change breeds in the ocean, how can our generation turn a blind eye? ”

This reason was barely able to convince Shi Liang.

In terms of needs theory, those who meet physiological needs, safety needs, emotional needs, respect needs and other needs have a higher probability of challenging their self-realization needs. The lifters who came to the royal capital to take the examination have basically realized their physiological needs, safety needs, emotional needs, etc., and their pursuit of the national eunuch and the pursuit of the official eunuch career belong to the need for respect, and they are eager for their achievements to be recognized by the society.

As for the higher-status shadow prison students, they have probably already realized the ordinary level of respect needs, and they are born to be the envy of the people. Therefore, in addition to the traditional impressions such as the son of a gentleman, a loser, and a dog, there is no shortage of children of the powerful who pursue the realization of self-worth.

The sons and daughters of the powerful who find their way to self-worth are richer, smarter, hard-working, and often very successful than you.

Shi Liang wandered in the circle of shadow prisoners, and knew that the shadow prisoners were also the same people, including lawless people, people who eat, drink and have fun, and paranoid people who pursue self-fulfillment. Just like the sentence that the love seed was born in a rich family, the children of the powerful are paranoid, which is beyond imagination, not to mention the qualifications of the prisoner of Laoshziyin, even if the throne dares to abandon it.

Of course, these paranoia are the prerogative of the powerful family.

Even if they are paranoid and give up their qualifications as prisoners, they will not worry about food or clothing for the rest of their lives.

The material foundation left by their parents is precisely where they dare to be paranoid and pursue their self-worth.

Stone beams could not follow suit.

Shi Liang's father had just been promoted to the prefect of Ninan Prefecture, and his level was judged by the traditional concept of power, and Shi Liang had just stepped into the circle of power. If Shi Liang's father can't go further, if Shi Yan and Shi Liang brothers can't keep the family business, the Shi family will soon be removed from the list of powerful circles. It was not easy to enter the circle of the powerful, and Shi Liang refused to accept the fate of spinning up and disappearing and being eliminated in embarrassment. Shi Liang has a sense of anxiety similar to that of the middle class, and he and his brother Shi Yan have long vowed to continue to work hard to be officials, climb to the prefect of a prefecture, climb to the cabinet elder, and make the Shi family a wealthy family.

Since you are fortunate enough to squeeze into the circle of the powerful, you must stay in the circle of the powerful for generations.

The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

Realizing that it would be difficult for Wei Dongsheng to help him in the officialdom in the future, Shi Liang decisively stopped making friends.

Waved.

Farewell.

From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge.

In the real world plus the experience of the third life, Wei Dongsheng has lived for more than 170 years, and has experienced countless world events, and his eyes are quite vicious. Wei Dongsheng had long seen through Shi Liang's character, this person was willing to make all the friends who were beneficial to him, but he was never willing to waste time on useless people. Determining that Wei Dongsheng was paranoid and chose to study in Yueguo, Shi Liang concluded that Wei Dongsheng would be abolished from then on, so he naturally turned around and left decisively.

It is common in the world for the wall to fall down and everyone pushes it, and some people are more hateful than the stone beam changing face.

After more than a month, the housekeeper reported the bad news to Wei Dongsheng with a sad face: "Liu Lianggen, this year, said that this year there was a drought and then a flood, and the manor lost all his savings, and owed fifty taels of silver foreign debts, and he couldn't make up the money for a while. For the next quarter's expenses, Liu Lianggen was only willing to send five taels of silver to the young master. ”

Wei Dongsheng smiled.

Wei Dongsheng's fourth identity background, his nominal father left him more than 300 acres of fertile land, and at the same time, he also left a number of servants and tenants. The Wei family set up two housekeepers, one of whom followed Wei Dongsheng and took care of Wei Dongsheng to study in the Longbian Mansion, that is, the housekeeper Jiang Shengxing in front of him; Another housekeeper, Liu Lianggen, was in his hometown of the prime minister's more than 300 acres of fertile land, such as cultivation and rent collection. More than 300 acres of fertile land and its affiliated aquaculture industry have an average annual net profit of about 90 taels of silver, of which 80 taels of silver are sent to Wei Dongsheng for his consumption to maintain the Longbian Mansion; 10 Taels of silver were stored in the cellar for an emergency.

In spring, summer, autumn and winter, Liu Lianggen sent 20 taels of silver on time every quarter.

This summer's money, Liu Lianggen only sent 5 taels of silver.

Jiang Shengxing angrily exposed Liu Lianggen: "Liu Lianggen, this evil slave, is really bold and reckless. After the death of the master, Liu Lianggen stuffed the seven aunts and eight aunts into the manor, and in the past few years, he has almost hollowed out the Wei family. More than 300 acres of high-grade fertile land, with only 80 taels of silver in his hands, is really hateful. How do you think that he is becoming more and more ignorant of restraint, and now he wants to deceive his superiors and subordinates to the point that he is only willing to give the young master 5 taels of silver. ”

It is not that there are real droughts and floods that reduce production, but that evil slaves bully their masters.

Wei Dongsheng is the fourth generation, he is the only son of his titular father, and he is the only young master in the family. When his titular father died, Wei Dongsheng was only 12 years old and was fostered in Longbian Mansion, far away from his hometown. There is no credible Wei bloodline in the old mansion, and Wei Dongsheng can't flip through the account book in time, so Liu Lianggen won't take the opportunity to do it unless he has the heart of a saint.

However, Jiang Shengxing is not credible.

Wei Dongsheng speculated that Jiang Shengxing might want to take the opportunity to overthrow Liu Genxing, and then return to his hometown in the name of rectifying the slave henchmen. For domestic servants like Liu Lianggen and Jiang Shengxing, the Wei family's more than 300 acres of fertile land is already a big cake, and if they are public and private for a few years, they can earn a family business for future generations.

Wei Dongsheng was not angry or happy, and asked Jiang Shengxing in a calm tone: "More than 300 acres of fertile land, and a small silk workshop with strong demand for sea trade, the annual profit of 90 taels of silver is really not good. But I don't supervise at home in time, and I can't stop the house slaves from bullying and concealing them. Liu Lianggen was able to send 80 taels of silver on time every year, which was still within my tolerance, and I didn't bother to go home to tidy up the manor. However, 5 taels of silver in the first quarter is too unusual! Hehe, does Liu Lianggen think I can be bullied casually? Tell me, why did Liu Lianggen suddenly become emboldened? ”

Jiang Shengxing told the truth: "Liu Lianggen heard that the young master had abandoned the fame of the shadow prison prisoner, so he suddenly became bold and reckless. Liu Lianggen said to the servant, the sea is like a grave, I don't know how many heroes have been lost, the young master went to Yue to learn sailing, even if he was lucky not to die in the sea, he would only come back once in three or five years. Liu Lianggen also said that if he didn't take the opportunity to make extra money, he would really be sorry for this rare opportunity. ”

I see.

Not only did Shi Liang despise Wei Dongsheng's choice, but housekeeper Liu Lianggen was not optimistic about Wei Dongsheng's choice.

Although the shadow eunuchs of the Jiaozhi Domain, although they are not as extravagant as the Ming and Qing Jinshi in the real world, they do not have to worry about knowing the rank of the county. As long as he survives the four years of study in Guozijian steadily, and as long as he does not stand in the wrong line when climbing the officialdom, the prisoners will almost certainly be able to rise to the magistrate of a county. In the eyes of the top-level magnates, the magistrate may be a seven-grade sesame petty official who is not worth a damn, but in the eyes of Liu Gensheng and Jiang Shengxing, the prefect can destroy the door, and the magistrate can break the family, they are all successful people who need to look up. And if you can go one step further and climb to the prefect of the Longbian Mansion at the level of Wei Dongsheng's nominal father, it is simply unspeakably expensive.

On the contrary, what is the future of sailing?

Although there are countless luxury maritime merchants, you can learn to sail and achieve luxury business, and the distance between the two is more than tens of millions of miles. The world's well-known maritime merchants were either lucky people who struggled to get up, or they were wandering on the sea for generations, how many people were born as big landowners like Wei Dongsheng? The vast majority of ordinary people who go to sea, even if they gamble their lives, can only fight for a small rich and noble family business in the end. It is understandable that bankrupt peasants, who are so poor that they have nothing, go to sea in search of a glimmer of life. Wei Dongsheng, a big landlord with more than 300 acres of fertile land, why gamble on everything?

In the eyes of Liu Lianggen and Jiang Shengxing, Wei Dongsheng was extremely stupid.

It was also because he was bearish on Wei Dongsheng's future prospects that Liu Lianggen dared to bully his master and suddenly cut his quarterly expenses to 5 taels of silver.
