After listening to Li Zhi's words, Liu An took the opportunity to sit opposite Wu Zetian's mother and daughter, and seemed to have been accustomed to it.

However, his actions were very irregular in Yang's opinion.

In this era, the concept of superiority and inferiority is very important.

Although she used to be the Duchess of the State, now that she took the initiative to leave the Guogong Mansion where she once lived, she could be regarded as voluntarily giving up her former identity.

In the future, she will also put herself in the right position in this Jin Palace, and face Li Zhi as the following person.

After today, she has no right to sit in front of Li Zhi.

Although this Liu An is very likely to be a personal eunuch who has followed Li Zhi since he was a child, according to the rules, he must not sit in front of Li Zhi.

But at the moment, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin and Liu An don't seem to take the so-called rules very seriously.

It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin seems to be very different from others.

Li Zhi waited until Liu An sat down and continued to speak: "Liu An was in charge of a lot of affairs before.

Alone, he had to run the house, but he was also responsible for the king's many outside businesses.

Now the lady has arrived, just to help him share some of the burden. ”

Yang said to Liu An: "The courtier's ability is limited, so she can only try to do some, if there is anything wrong, I hope that Steward Liu will not hesitate to advise." ”

Liu An said: "Madame doesn't have to be too modest, although there are many maids in this mansion, they have all been in the palace for many years.

They are already familiar with their duties, and they don't have to worry too much about it.

There is only one thing to remind Madame. ”

Yang said, "Butler, please say, the slave family will keep it in mind." ”

Liu An nodded and said, "It's not a big deal, Madam just needs to know that the slavery of these people has long been erased by His Royal Highness."

At this time, they were all ordinary people hired by the royal government.

Therefore, please don't beat and punish Mrs. at will on weekdays.

If there is a person who disobeys the discipline, he can hand it over to him, and the big deal is to send him away. ”

After listening to Liu An's words, Yang's body suddenly shook.

Then she looked directly at Li Zhi with shocked eyes.

At this point, she couldn't describe her inner feelings in words, and she didn't even know what she should say.

Nowadays, it is very popular to keep slaves in captivity in Datang.

Not to mention the princes and nobles, civil ministers and military generals, even the big families and some ordinary rich and noble families will also buy slaves for their own drive.

Even low-status merchants would buy slaves in large quantities.

Although the price of a slave reached one or two thousand yuan, and even some Kunlun slaves could reach six or seven thousand yuan.

But these people do not need to pay wages on weekdays, and only need to provide two full meals, and they can be driven at will, beaten and scolded or even executed at every turn.

In contrast, hiring a worker, although only a few hundred dollars a month, is certainly much more expensive than buying a slave over time.

The most important thing is that through Liu An's words, you can know that these people in the mansion were all slaves before.

It was His Royal Highness the King of Jin who took the initiative to eliminate the slavery for them.

It's going to cost a lot of money.

The Yang family really couldn't figure out what His Royal Highness King Jin was doing like this?

Li Zhi saw that Yang looked to him, so he explained: "There is no shortage of money in the house, and this king can't see these people suffering.

It is better to get them out of slavery, so that the guests and generals in the palace can treat these people better. ”

Although Rich's explanation is brief, the meaning is very clear.

He didn't want to bully these slaves himself, but he couldn't force everyone else to do the same.

Therefore, these people were directly removed from slavery and their status became good citizens.

In this way, others are bound by the law and cannot or even dare to do wrong.

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Yang suddenly remembered the deeds about Li Zhi that he had heard about Li Zhi in Li Jifu.

Now it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin in front of him can really be said to love the people like a son!

After figuring out this, the Yang family said to Li Zhi with reverence: "Your Royal Highness has great love, and the slave family admires it to the fullest. ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "This king just thinks differently from ordinary people, but he deserves such an evaluation from his wife." ”

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Wu Zetian.

I found that she was fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her head down at this time, and from the expression on her face, it seemed that she was thinking about something.

From the side, Wu Zetian's face is close to a goose egg face, and his body shape is slightly rounded.

In terms of current aesthetics, Wu Zetian is a proper beauty.

Even in her previous life, she was a rare beauty.

However, Li Zhi has always been a straight man since his previous life, and he has never pursued women.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten a girlfriend until he was in his thirties.

At this time, although he felt a little amazed by Wu Zetian's beauty, it was only so far that he had no other thoughts.

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Zetian and then turned his head to the Yang family and said, "The other girl is not very old now.

If Madame is not in a hurry to marry her, will the king arrange for her to enter the academy? ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Yang turned his head to look at Wu Zetian and saw that she had not changed her previous thoughts.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Zhi: "It's all up to His Highness's arrangement." ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "In that case, your mother and daughter will settle down for the time being today."

The king of tomorrow was just going to the college, and he took Miss Wu to enroll in the school. ”

After hearing this, the Yang family pulled Wu Zetian to get up together and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, slave family." ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "In the future, it will be regarded as a family member, and Madame does not have to be so polite." ”

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Liu An and said, "You take your wife to familiarize yourself with the environment in the house, and this king will go to the prison for a while." ”

After saying this, he nodded to Yang, and then walked towards the door first.

After the Yang mother and daughter saw Li Zhi leave, they circled around the palace under the leadership of Liu An.

The huge palace that far exceeds the normal specifications fully shows Li Zhi's status in Li Shimin's heart now.

Among all the princes, except for the crown prince Li Chengqian, there is no one who can compare.

The entire palace looked extremely luxurious everywhere, but the huge mansion did not cost the court a penny to build.

In Li Zhi's words: It is already a break in the rules for himself to be able to own the palace that occupies a square of land.

If the imperial court is allowed to pay for the construction, it is really impossible to explain it to the other brothers.

It is precisely because of this practice that many officials have been silenced and prevented from using this matter to attack themselves.

After all, in the final analysis, what Li Shimin rewarded Li Zhi was only a large homestead, not a huge palace.

Wu Zetian's mother and daughter fully realized Li Zhi's wealth under Liu An's explanation.

This wealth, combined with Li Zhi's current status, made the two secretly frightened.

As a prince with such a special identity, won't Li Zhi attract the jealousy of others?

Yang thought silently in his heart.
