According to the law of the Great Zhou, customers also have to bear a certain amount of taxes, theoretically speaking, tenants also belong to one of the categories of customers, but the fact is that the vast majority of tenant farmers who are dependent on the powerful are floating households, and have not registered their household registration, similar to the trilogy, which is counted as a large family slave, but compared with slaves and maids, they can get part of the grain of the harvest in return, and generally will not be sold by the master, this group has no household registration, and of course there is no way to tax.

It's just that according to the law, the wealthy and noble people who shelter the floating fugitives will be investigated for the crime of concealment, and once it is verified, the floating fugitives will also be released to their original hometowns, and even according to the law, they will be held accountable, but the imperial court has no land to grant, which leads to a large-scale exodus of the households, and the emperor is not unaware of the root cause of this malpractice, so he often opens the net and grants pardon to the floating fugitives.

In addition, the collusion between local nobles and local officials, the government generally does not track down the fugitives, so this group is gradually "legalized".

But this kind of tenants, in fact, life is also very hard, often work hard for a year, and can only ensure food and clothing, but compared with many people who do not have enough land but bear heavy endowments, it is so much better.

This is the reason why Shi Niang and Lu Li are reluctant to ask the tenants, their enemies have never been the toiling masses who are in trouble.

But the masterminds behind the instigation of these poor people to make trouble are certainly not within the scope of forgiveness, and must be dealt with with sternness.

And the owner of the tenant who made trouble was the Jinyang Ding family.

Eleven Niang raised her eyebrows: "Ding's? I was not impressed. ”

"The Ding family is barely a wealthy family, and it has long been weak, so it has been ignored by us." Lu Li said: "The Ding family has a woman, and now she is a concubine of the Chen family. ”

"It's the Chen family again!" Eleven Niang suddenly realized: "It seems that Jinyang Chen is really standing in the camp, but Mao Wei's order is obeyed!" ”

The princess decisively turned her head and decided to take Jinyang Chen first, but now the descendants of the Chen family have not been ordained, and there is only one Chen Fuji among the elders who serves as the assassin of Wenzhou, far from Shannan West Road, which is quite out of reach, how to suppress it has to be carefully considered, and compared with Jinyang Chen, the princess is more concerned about whether Taiyuan Liu, as the in-law of the Chen family, has also stood firm.

"There is no need to rush to check the matter of the homeland for the time being, since Mao Wei has already made a move and tried to take advantage of public opinion, then we might as well fight." Eleven Niang asked He Ye: "I went to Taigu once, what are the details of those spies, have they ever revealed clues?" ”

He Ye explained to Ruan Ling: "Ask He Yan to come over." ”

As the only "legacy" left to He Ye by Emperor Renzong before his death, He Yan not only served as the commander of the guard at this time, but also served as the coordinator of the secret agent, and the "Yellow Sparrow" staring at the "praying mantis" was the one he arranged, and at this time there was a result: "The spies who set off from Jinyang City all went to the Assassin Mansion to restore the order, but the few on the way to Mingde Temple stayed in Taigu County, and it has been confirmed that it was installed by Taigu Ling, as for whether Taigu Ling has a private meeting with Mingde Temple, there is no news back for the time being." ”

Since Mao Wei served as Taiyuan Yin, the post of Jinyang Assassin is no longer set up, and the Assassin Mansion is now occupied by Mao Wei, it can be seen that these spies in Jinyang City are all from his instructions, but as soon as this group of people entered Taigu, they did not continue to keep an eye on it, and replaced it with Taigu to let his spies take over, what does this mean?

"Ji Lun is really a Mao Wei party." He Ye sneered.

"The sixth brother pretended not to notice first, if Ji Lun took the initiative to make friends, he might as well make a false deal with him." Eleven Niang said: "From tomorrow, the sixth brother will first concentrate on legal and criminal affairs, strive to investigate several cases of bullying and bullying people, and encourage the people to report illegality." ”

Since Lu Li is Taiyuan Shaoyin, of course he has the right to intervene in the criminal case, and Shi Niang decided to take the sword sideways, first appease the people with practical actions, establish the prestige of Lu Li and the Jin Wangfu in the eyes of the people, and smash Mao Wei's conspiracy to use public opinion.

After discussing this matter, Eleven Niang went back to Yuguanju and listened to Jiang Huaiyu's report from Jiang Huai, who stayed at home: "The day after the princess went to Taigu, Taiyuan Liu Han Niangzi came to visit, saying that Mrs. Zhen's illness had recurred, so she asked Dong Yizheng to go for diagnosis and treatment, and the slave maid made her own opinion and told Dong Yizheng to go on a trip. ”

"How is Mrs. Zhen's condition?"

"According to Dong Yizheng, there is no big problem, but the anger is urgent, and it has been relieved after the injection."

Angry? Eleven Niang took a look at the meaning behind these four words, and then explained: "I sent someone to ask Han Niangzi to come to the house tomorrow, and said that I was very worried about my wife's condition and wanted to visit, but I was worried about disturbing my wife's recuperation. ”

Although in order to show goodwill, Eleven Niang deliberately confessed that Dong Yizheng was treating Mrs. Zhen before, it was just a formality, of course Taiyuan Liu would not be short of doctors, but in just a few days, Mrs. Zhen actually sent Han to invite Dong Yizheng again, I am afraid that the confrontation with that Chen Junjun was not smooth, and she needed to help her, the princess of Jin.

It has become inevitable to suppress the Chen family, but Eleven Niang is still unwilling to be the enemy of Taiyuan Liu, not to say that it takes into account the friendship of the clan, but in terms of the situation, it is naturally more advantageous to win over the head of the Taiyuan Liu clan than to fight evil, although Mrs. Zhen is a woman, and cannot decide the family's external affairs, in the end she is also the wife of the Taiyuan Liu clan, and she takes the initiative to show goodwill, so Eleven Niang must support her to suppress Chen Junjun, which is also to show her attitude to many family nobles, treat allies, Jin Wangfu is as warm and friendly as spring, and treat enemies as cold and ruthless as a harsh winter.

Han Shi was really happy, and responded on the same day: "Tomorrow I should come to the palace to thank you in person." ”

It was because Eleven Niang naturally got up early the next day, dressed up properly, and waited for Han to come to the door, and suddenly saw a maid in the Jade Guanju who was in a daze, and even when she walked up, she didn't even notice that this maid was now serving He Ye full-time - Zhangtai Garden was rebuilt, and He Ye was temporarily living in the Jade Guanju at night, so Eleven Niang specially assigned a maid to He Ye to call.

"What are you in a daze, could it be that you were accidentally injured by His Highness again?" Eleven Niang asked.

The maid had just woken up from a dream, and was busy saluting, and replied a little crampedly: "Not really, but last night...... His Royal Highness suddenly ordered the servant to wait in the house, but because of the presence of the servant, His Royal Highness did not fall asleep until late at night, and the servant was uneasy, but His Royal Highness was overjoyed, and later let the servant leave, and the servant was really ......"

It turned out that he was puzzled by the strange behavior of His Royal Highness King Jin.

Eleven Niang also felt that this thing sounded strange, where could she have thought that He Ye still cared about the reduction of vigilance, so she couldn't wait to try it again last night, leaving the maid in the house to wait for the order, just reciting the "Great Nirvana Sutra" silently for half an hour, but there was no sleep, this felt at ease, although she still didn't understand why Eleven Niang was on his side and he could sleep peacefully, but it was not because of dull senses, otherwise He Ye would suspect that he was not old and decrepit.

This little episode didn't cause Eleven Niang to care, and she didn't notice that her influence on He Ye was different from usual.

After a little cold and politeness, when Eleven Niang asked about Mrs. Zhen's condition, she sighed, but stopped talking.

Han is Mrs. Zhen's daughter-in-law, although she is a generation older than Eleven Niang, but she is only in her early twenties, only a few years older than Eleven Niang, she is lively and noisy, last time she came to the Jin Wangfu with her mother-in-law, only to feel that she was particularly deed to Eleven Niang, but hindered the presence of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, of course some words are inconvenient to say directly, although there are not too many scruples today, but it is a mission, but those words that are harmful to people behind them are not in line with the famous family teachers, so Han is quite embarrassed, and I don't know where to start.

What kind of transparent person is Eleven Niang? If she is determined to make friends with others, then no matter who the other party is, she can reach a heart-to-heart conversation, and at this time, seeing that Han was embarrassed, she took the initiative to set up a good step for her: "The last time we met, although my uncle and grandmother looked bad, I heard Dong Yizheng say, but because of the weakness in the body, as long as I have a good life and recuperation, there is no big problem, how do I know that within a few days, my uncle and grandmother fell ill again, I heard that it was because of anger and attack, but my uncle and grandmother are not impatient temperament, so I was shocked and suspicious after hearing it, so I asked my uncle and grandmother to come and ask, but my uncle and grandmother encountered troubles?" ”

Han Shi said ashamedly: "To put it mildly, it's all the grandson's unfilial piety!" ”

"What do you mean, is it possible that my uncle and grandmother are angry with my tenth uncle?"

"This matter is a long story, and it involves the third uncle, the third uncle and mother are the elders of the concubine, and the concubine should not talk about the rights and wrongs of the elders behind her back...... is even related to the implementation of the new policy, and the A family also explained the concubine, and it must be explained clearly to the princess, so as not to misunderstand the princess. ”

Eleven Niang was not in a hurry to ask about the reason, but only appeased Han: "At this time, there are no outsiders around, my uncle doesn't need to be so polite, just treat me as my own junior. ”

Who said that the princess is not easy to get along with herself? Han couldn't help but slander: it must be the Zhen family and the third uncle and mother who slandered him.

is no longer cramped, and tells the story of what happened during this time.
