Chapter 1: Honest People
If someone told the king honestly that all people are born equal, he would definitely spit on him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Laoshi is a steward in Fengmingzhuang in the northwest. Second, stewardship. Above him there was only one chief steward.
However, under this chief steward, there are at least fifty second stewards like Wang Laoshi. Because, Fengmingzhuang is too big.
The territory of Fengmingzhuang is naturally not as good as the former Kanto Manmatang. When the horses and empty groups had not yet burned the Ten Thousand Horse Hall to the ground, with the size of the Ten Thousand Horse Hall, the most skilled rider rode the fastest horse, and ran from dawn to dusk, and may not be able to run the whole course of the Ten Thousand Horse Hall from east to west.
Fengmingzhuang is only a quarter of the size of Wanmatang at most. But even so, a second housekeeper like Wang Laoshi had to ride a horse every day and walk for most of the day to complete the inspection of the territory they were responsible for.
The great men of the Northwest, not many of them ride in carriages. Those who can afford to raise horses ride horses. If you can't afford a horse, ride a donkey. Those who can't even afford to raise donkeys, ride their own legs.
The people who ride the carriage, except for the girls, are the big men who can't be bigger. A big man like the owner of Fengming Village.
Wang Laoshi didn't have to ride a horse every day, like other second stewards, to patrol the territory in the sand. He is responsible for the affairs of Fengming Zhuang. Because, he is an honest man. In other words, the owner believes that he is an honest man who can be trusted.
Wang Laoshi does look like an honest man. He was born as a house slave in Fengmingzhuang. Because, his father, his father's father, and even his father's father's father are all domestic slaves in Fengmingzhuang. Therefore, he can only be a house slave.
Wang Laoshi was not dissatisfied with the identity of this domestic slave. There were originally only two kinds of people in Fengmingzhuang. One is the head of the house. One is a house slave. can do the position of the second manager, he should be satisfied.
But he is not satisfied now. Because, on his head, there was also a great steward. Because, his sons and daughters, all born, are also domestic slaves. A house slave of lower status than the children of the chief steward. As for the children of the master's family, it is even more incomparable. Their lives belong to their masters.
Because of this, his children were not less bullied by the children of the master's family, and even by the children of the chief steward.
Therefore, Wang Laoshi never believed in the nonsense that all men are born equal. How can it be equal? Although everyone came to this world naked, the emperor's children were born as dragons and phoenixes. As soon as the children of the owner of the village are born, they are the eldest lady of the young owner. Even the children of the chief steward were born, and they were slaves of everyone. And as soon as his honest children were born, they could only be small domestic slaves.
Why should the guy who pouts his ass to the sky in front of the master of the house all day long, and pouts his nostrils to the sky in front of the house slaves, jump on his head like this?
Also, since his ancestors came to him, he has been a domestic slave for the owner's family for several generations. Shouldn't his children have a better future?
Wang honestly believes that although his life belongs to the head of the family, his future is something he can earn. That's it for his whole life. But he wanted to have a better future for his children and his children.
Therefore, Wang honestly and secretly did many things that were not too honest.
He bought several properties in places that Fengmingzhuang couldn't manage. He also secretly saved thousands of taels of silver in the semicolon of the Northwest Four Seas Money Bank. These silvers, as long as they hold the voucher of the Four Seas Money Village, can be withdrawn from any Four Seas Money Village in the Central Plains.
These things were quietly saved by him using his honesty in exchange for trust.
He only needed a chance now to find a way to free his sons and daughters from slavery. When his sons and daughters were freed from slavery, he would hand over to them the silver taels he had secretly saved, and let them stay away from the northwest and go further south of the Central Plains to seek a future. Those properties are temporarily immovable. If it is discovered by the owner, he will not have a second result except for being chopped into meat and fed to the dogs.
But such opportunities are hard to find. Fengmingzhuang is not short of money. The trick of redemption will not work in Fengmingzhuang. Besides, even if Fengmingzhuang allowed the redemption, why could he take so much silver to redeem his children?
Although Fengmingzhuang also has a precedent for letting domestic slaves get rid of their nationality, those house slaves who have been denaturalized are all people who have made great contributions to Fengmingzhuang. The merits of those people's hard work are to put it more simply, that is, they once fought for Fengmingzhuang.
Today's Fengmingzhuang no longer needs people to fight for their lives. In this piece of land in the northwest, not many people dare to fight and die with Fengmingzhuang anymore.
This is the land of the Son of Heaven, it is a fact. It is also a fact that the army of the imperial court is stationed here. But this is the territory of Fengmingzhuang, which is a more real and bigger fact in the minds of the people of this place.
There are several martial arts masters in the northwest area, and there are at least twenty in Fengming Village. In addition to these martial arts masters, Fengmingzhuang also has no less than five hundred full-time nurses for a long time. These guards are all skilled and skilled, and they can all draw a strong bow of at least three stones.
Not only that, but people in the northwest are rumored that the owner of the village, the shepherd and the general in the northwest are all friends. Some talkative people in the village said that every once in a while the owner of the village left the village with a large number of gifts, he personally went to visit the dignitaries and generals.
With such strength and background, how many people in the northwest dare to pick up the tiger whiskers of Fengmingzhuang? Who else does Fengmingzhuang need to fight for it? If there is no need for people to fight for it, where will the people in the village go to earn their talents?
Therefore, since Wang honestly remembered, he had never heard of any domestic slave in the village who could get out of the country again.
Hurry! Wang Laoshi is dying in a hurry.
His eldest son and second son are married. Their daughters-in-law and children are all directly appointed by the wives of the owner's family, and they are all domestic slaves. It's okay. Look at the big ass plates, they are all born and raised. But the problem is, they are also domestic slaves. The son of a house slave, the daughter-in-law of a house slave, what else can be born in the future?
The youngest son is also almost old enough to marry a daughter-in-law. In a few years, the only daughter will also be able to talk about her in-laws. The youngest son is okay to say. If it really doesn't work, let the wives of the owner's family point out another one. Their future can wait for a few years, slowly drawing it up.
It's hard for a girl. The girl is only ten years old, and she is already in the water. Wang Laoshi listened to the people in the village chew their tongues, saying that the chief steward had taken a fancy to his daughter, and wanted to wait for her to grow up, go and ask the husbands of the owner's family to ask for a kiss, and let Wang Laoshi give his daughter to the third son of the big housekeeper.
Who is the third son of the chief steward? It is a bad embryo with sores on the top of his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and no more bad than any more!
When the boy was less than ten years old, he dared to lie outside the window where the maids in the village were bathing and peek at the maids bathing. When he was fourteen years old, the boy dared to touch the place where the maids lived in the middle of the night and burrow into their bed. If it hadn't been for the screaming of a maid, he would have killed one of them that night.
The boy who gave birth to a good look, and learned the same bullshit face as his old man, and followed the little farmer all day long, and the master coaxed the little farmer around. In addition, relying on his Lao Tzu's strength, the house slaves in the village dared to be angry with that kid but did not dare to speak.
If Wang Laoshi's daughter marries him, she will not be wronged for a lifetime?
Therefore, Wang is honest and anxious. It's almost dying, and the king is honest.
Where to find such an opportunity?
Wang Laoshi didn't know how many incense sticks he burned in front of the Bodhisattva and how many kowtows he had kowtowed under the Bodhisattva's seat. This year, when he was incense for his master's house, he didn't say a good word for his master in his heart. The kind words he said in front of the Bodhisattva were all prayers for himself. He prayed to the Bodhisattva to give him such an opportunity.
Perhaps it was Wang Laoshi's sincerity that finally touched a certain god and Buddha in the Western Heavens, and now, he finally smelled such an opportunity.
Since Wang Laoshi is in charge of the affairs of the village, it is natural to do some things for the village from time to time. Therefore, every once in a while, he would personally go to the nearby county town or even further provincial capital to buy some things needed in the village.
Wang Laoshi would never let the Zhuang Ding go by themselves. He wasn't at ease. He didn't worry about the eyes of the villagers. Of course, what he is even more worried about is that the money has passed through other people's hands. If you don't have any money in your hands, how can you continue to deposit money in the four seas bank?
The day before yesterday, when he went to the county seat again, he keenly felt that there seemed to be a lot of people from the three mountains and five mountains in the county. Those people weren't natives of the Northwest at first glance. Their faces do not have the vicissitudes of wind and sand on the faces of the natives of the northwest.
Wang Laoshi only inquired a little, and heard a lot of amazing news. Amazing news about the rivers and lakes.
Wang Laoshi is not from the rivers and lakes. But that doesn't mean he's a charlatan. Those masters and nurses in Zhuangzi, when they drink too much and brag too much, they will mess around the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Wang honestly listened a lot.
Wang Laoshi has heard of several people mentioned in the news. He knew that they were all the top powerhouses in the rivers and lakes.
The first time he heard the news, Wang Laoshi knew that the opportunity had come. Because, Fengmingzhuang is one of the largest forces in the northwest, and it is also one of the largest forces in the rivers and lakes. If such a big event happens, Fengmingzhuang will definitely be involved.
What I have seen and heard in the past two days has further confirmed Wang Laoshi's thoughts. Because, in the past two days, there have been a lot of foreign guests in the village. It's all guests with guys on them.
Northwest, it's going to be messy. The sky of Fengmingzhuang is about to change. Change, there will be opportunities.
He's finally waiting for his chance!
Now, what he wants to do honestly is to continue to be his honest man and wait for such an opportunity to appear.
