Chapter 81 Teach people to fish, and then hear the shocking news

Even though the weather was still cold, the afternoon sun was warm. Therefore, the girls in Anyuan are busily turning over things on this good day. Chen Lan and Chen Yan are okay, after all, when they came out of the house, they had already prepared an extra car and brought the cover box cage, while Chen Yun and Chen Xi were left completely because of the selfishness of their respective fathers, and even the cover and the girl were all sent yesterday and evening. On weekdays, there are so many people living in a small courtyard, and they are busy working, so there are few people who talk and laugh, but now they can't hear a cough, and even patting the ashes is light.

Because Chen Yun and Sister Chen Xi were learning etiquette from Aunt Zhou in the west room of the main house.

As for Chen Lan and Chen Yan's sisters and brothers, they are not in the main room. Chen Yan took Chu Ping's four companions, and Chen Rui allocated four family members, but he left Anyuan to inspect the thousand acres of fields. This was his automatic request, and after thinking about it, Zhu agreed with his mouth. As for Chen Lan, he discussed things with Zhang Zhuangtou in the account room in the morning, and listened to him report the accounts by the way, and in the afternoon, many tenants came to the door to thank him and kowtow. Although only three or five people were put up, the posture of these three or five people banging their heads already made her have mixed feelings.

No matter how difficult her situation is, it is rare to be better than these tenants who are trampled in the mud and rely on people's mercy to survive?

At this moment, a middle-aged tenant with a round chin is the rule. looked at the water-milled green bricks on the ground and said: "The villagers in the village all say that the emperor is lenient, but if the third lady does not really sympathize with us, a good leniency will be ruined." The rent arrears that weighed us down are gone, the scoundrels who bully men and women are gone, and even the rent for this year is waived, so we can live. When everyone came today, the people in the village also said that they couldn't wait to offer the immortal tablet......"

"This is the emperor's pity for your suffering, so the will that people specially passed down, I do things according to the rules, if you want to be grateful, just read the grace of heaven. If you are truly grateful......" Thinking that there are not enough people in this Anyuan, and Zhang Zhuangtou once mentioned that those farmers are short of seeds and farm tools, Chen Lan smiled and said, "Then go back and see, there are people in their respective homes who are free, and there are people to help inside and outside here, and the salary is 500 wen a month, as long as you can do work and are willing to endure hardships." ”

If the waiver of rent arrears, the removal of thugs, and the waiver of new rents all seem to be just a momentary kindness of the new owner's family, then this hired person is really like a pie falling from the sky. Although it is said that the men and women of the village have to work in the fields, but the salary of 500 wen per month, which family can't get a handful? With this money, buying seeds and farm tools, you will never be so tight on hand. For a while, a few tenants looked at me. Rush to say they have it. Chen Lan didn't say anything else, and asked them to go back and tell each other, saying that Anyuan still needed twenty or thirty rough servants and ten Zhuang Ding, and asked them to go back and tell each other, and then let the people go.

When there were no outsiders in the house, Lai's mother diligently helped Chen Lan out from behind the screen, glanced at Zhang Zhuangtou and whispered: "Third Miss, the little one has one more mouth, this first has been exempted from rent for a year, but now she has to hire people from them, and as soon as you enter and exit, it will be the boss's famine." Even if there are only thirty people, five hundred yuan per person, fifteen taels of silver a month, and one hundred and eighty taels a year, it is a lot of expenses......"

Before Lai's mother finished speaking, Zhang Zhuangtou on the side smiled and said: "That's not what I said, but Miss is thoughtful, and my sister-in-law listens to me." Although the rent arrears and the new rent this year have been waived, it has only promised these tenants a good prospect, and they now lack seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and everything. I really can't ask for it. Instead of lending them at that time, it is better to recruit some people to help in the Zhuangzi now, which is also the meaning of the imperial court's usual work for relief. Don't be afraid of jokes, although the house here is neat, there are still a lot of things to prepare. Besides, the people who take in the people do not work in vain, the flowers and plants in the back garden are done, and they can be sold for money when they are dried. ”

Seeing Lai's mother suddenly realized, Chen Lan also explained: "They are locals here, they are grateful for the kindness of the house, they must do their best to do things, they will not be lazy, and when they collect rent in the future, they will take them with them, and they are not afraid of some families crying poor openly and secretly." Besides, the old lady didn't know how long she was going to recuperate here, and there was no harm in hiring these people. If you live for a long time, the original girl is not enough, there are so many servants in the house, sometimes pick a girl but can't make up for it, you have to send someone outside, and now I hear that I want to go outside, I am afraid of hardship, and I don't know how to push it. Even so, the head of the Zhuang family can also choose some clever little girls to do chores in the future, and let them go home when we return to the city, which also saves a lot of trouble. ”

Lai's mother can serve in the temple. Although he is not a first-class face, he is also a smart person, and he understands it at this time. The old lady avoided coming to the Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, and the third old man would definitely take this opportunity to support a group of people among the servants in the mansion, and the old lady's original intention was probably to see who was loyal and who was traitorous. It's just that those people in the mansion have been in the house for so many years, and it is already instinctive to tend to be inflammatory, and it is impossible to say how much can be used when they are cleaned up, and at that time, the manpower here may be able to make up for it.

Although these tenants are not slaves and maids who live and die in the hands of the master's family, they are more reliable than slaves and maids in this field!

Chen Lan also thought of seed farming tools, and even more thought of these tenants who had just received their kindness, as long as she continued to let them taste the sweetness now and in the future, she would naturally be the most reliable person. She has a shallow foundation in the house, and most of the flattery of her subordinates is just to watch the old lady's preference, and if that preference is gone one day, she will have to struggle on her own. Therefore, she naturally would not put her hope on the servants of the Hou Mansion who had serious shortcomings. After instructing Zhang Zhuang about the first few things, she took Lai's mother out of the house.

Because of the two days in and out, she often wants to see Zhang Zhuangtou, and there are two more sisters in the Linbo Pavilion, so she keeps the red snail to watch over there, and is used to bringing Lai Zhang's two mothers. I don't wear a hat when I see people in the house, but I have to pay more attention when I walk outside on a sliding pole. At this time, she walked out of the door, and she saw that Chen Rui was coming over with two relatives on the fork in the road, so she was busy, and when she got closer, she asked, "Steward Chen, did you just come back from outside?" ”

Chen Rui saw that Chen Lan had eliminated a mess with the waiver of rent arrears and new rent, and he couldn't help but feel that this daughter was not a good family and didn't know the price of firewood and rice, but when he went out to the inspection department to inquire today, he got the amazing news, and he didn't care about the trivial things in the forefront. At this time, hearing Chen Lan stop asking, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the little one just came back from the Zhangjiawan Inspection Division." ”

Chen Lan saw that Chen Rui's face was not good. Immediately thought of Yang Jinzhou: "But what happened?" ”

"This ......"

"Well, this is not the place to talk, but go to a sheltered place over there to talk."

The so-called shelter from the wind is a hut at the end of the road that was originally built for the mother-in-law's vigil, but now it is naturally empty because of the lack of people. After Chen Lan took Lai's mother in, Chen Rui also followed, and the rest of the people were taken by Zhang's mother to guard outside. At this moment, after Lai's mother put a cushion on the chair in the middle, she sat down and looked at Chen Rui with her eyes again.

"The little one went to the Zhangjiawan Inspection Department to inquire about the news, and the Chai inspector said that early this morning, someone was guarding the road from Tongzhou to Jingshi, and arrested Xia Zhuangtou who came out of Tongzhou City with more than a dozen subordinates. After the news spread, Lu Yiyun and Lu Shuai, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in Tongzhou City, were furious, and angrily sent people to search for them in all directions, but found nothing, so they immediately set off and returned to the capital. It is said that the head of Xia Zhuang was in Lu Shuai's other business before. ”

The matter actually involved the commander of the Jinyi Guard?

Chen Lan's hand holding the octagonal copper hand stove tightened suddenly, and then he frowned and said, "That Xia Zhuang head is just an unpopular Huangzhuang Zhuang head, how could he get mixed up with the brocade clothes Wei Tishuai?" ”

"The little one didn't ask, looking at the situation of the two in the Zhangjiawan Inspection Division, it doesn't seem to be surprising, maybe Lu Shuai relies on this person to do things, after all, Xia Zhuangtou is a relative of Grandpa Xia in the palace." Speaking of this, Chen Rui paused, then bowed again and said, "That is the case, please think twice, although our Hou Mansion is not afraid of things, but the king of Hades is better than the little ghosts, and there is no need to provoke the brocade Wei Tishuai for those mud legs." The new rent waiver is to give them a big edification, and the rent arrears are not to be taken care of. ”

At this moment, Chen Lan didn't have much time to think about Chen Rui's suggestion, and the first thought that popped into his mind was whether Yang Jinzhou was acting on orders before, or Jin Yiwei's infighting. However, it was only for a moment, and the word infighting was pressed down by her. If Yang Jinzhou really returned to Beijing and entered Jinyiwei as rumored, it would only be more than half a year. Then, judging from her experience of getting along several times, this person will not have excessive power struggles. Then, if it is not infighting, it is the emperor's intention.

The emperor wants to take down the commander of the brocade guard? But why beat around the bush?

Seeing that Chen Lan seemed to be in a daze, Chen Rui couldn't help but be a little impatient: "Miss, although our Hou Mansion is noble, what we can manage is to lead troops and use soldiers, whether it is in court affairs or other things, they rarely show their heads, and the Jinyi guards are all hand-drawn by the emperor himself, and they are the most trusting, so why bother to stir up this troubled water?" ”

"Needless to say." Chen Lan hid those thoughts in his heart, then raised his head and said with a slight smile, "I know that Steward Chen is loyal, but the old lady has entrusted me with internal and external affairs, and this Zhuangzi was originally given to me and my fourth brother by the emperor. Steward Chen has been out for the past two days, and he has worked hard, but now he has to rest more, and this wave of things will pass in a moment. ”

It's going to be over in a moment? Chen Rui couldn't believe his ears, but Chen Lan said it lightly, he could only suppress the doubts and annoyance, bowed down and walked out of the house. And Lai's mother looked at this scene, and muttered in her heart, and when she accompanied Chen Lan back to the Linbo Pavilion, as soon as she saw someone enter the West Wing, she immediately pulled out her legs and went to the main room to make a report.

At dusk, Chen Yanfang, who had been wandering around for a day, returned to Anyuan with his companion and his family. At noon the next day, Jingshi Zheng's mother sent a messenger with a piece of news that surprised the Zhu family.

The emperor commanded the Jinyi Guard to reduce Lu Yiyun's nationality to the people, and the celebrant and eunuch Qu Yong temporarily supervised the Jinyi Guard!
