Chapter 12: The Mansion of the Immortal Master (2)
Wen Fei didn't understand it halfway, but he didn't know it later. This has the Song generation, and the slave system was abolished. The retinue and servants of large families are all hired, that is to say, there is only an employment relationship between the two parties, and there is no master-servant relationship. It's the same as in later generations, even if you beat your own servants, if someone sues the government, you will have to suffer a lawsuit! It's not the kind of evil old society that Wen Fei thought at the beginning, where people eat people......
"Those who are called masters of manpower (servants), maids (maids), and tenants are called masters, and those who live together should have a share of wealth. ("Qing Yuan Article Legal Affairs" volume.) (This is the ancient meaning of cohabitation, that is, living with you and working for you...... )
According to the cohabitation law, there is a distinction between upper and lower, and the meaning of respect and inferiority. However, if the manpower and female envoys go to stay free after the expiration of the contract, and those who do not want to stay, the master-servant relationship will naturally disappear. That is, when I work for you, you are my boss, and if I change jobs, you will be nothing!
In fact, the officials of the Song Dynasty originally paid all the money and property for the maids who invited these servants by the imperial court. Wen Fei is a gentleman of the Demon Auxiliary Dao who is personally sealed by the official family, and it stands to reason that these money can also be reimbursed by the imperial court. It's just that Wen Fei himself doesn't know yet, and Cai You is more attentive and pays out of his pocket......
This time, Song Laoshi's action was very fast, and he found a group of people, including a cook (at this time, the chefs are all women, and there is nothing to do with the big men. There are maids, gardeners, porters, and all kinds of mansions need complete manpower. All of them are old and serious, and Song said honestly: "These people may not be the best, but they are all guaranteed character, and the affairs of the main family will not be neglected at all!"
Wen Fei thanked Cai You and Song Laoshi, and Cai You also said: "Now there are no people in the mansion, and there is nothing. Why don't you go to Pan Lou with me?"
Although I don't know what place Panlou is, I think it is also a high-end hotel at this time. If it were another time, Wen Fei would definitely go. But now, Wen Fei really doesn't want to have more contact with the people of the Cai family. After all, Cai Jing's reputation is too stinky, isn't it?
finally shirked Cai You, Wen Fei sighed. It's a pity to walk around this mansion by yourself. Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night. No one can share this qiē with themselves, and it is still a pity that modern people can't let themselves know that they are so powerful!
So, Wen Fei, the guy who was in the bag, began to run around in his house and take pictures everywhere. I was taking a picture of a carved beam, and the relief on it was exquisite. Any piece can be taken to modern times as a work of art, so Wen Fei can't wait to take pictures of all these places.
After taking the photo, Wen Fei patted his ass and returned to modern times first. Although the mansion is good, it is empty inside, and it is not a place to live. returned to Hyundai overnight, Wen Fei didn't go anywhere, and went directly to the carriage factory first, which already belonged to him.
The task was given to the factory, and it was necessary to build this great talent at any cost.
Even eating and living in the factory every day, those workers thought that the boss would personally supervise the work, and they used 120,000 points of strength. Begin to copy and build a great master.
Of course, these days have not been in vain, at least Wen Fei has checked a lot of history about the Northern Song Dynasty, downloaded it, and used it as a reference for his actions in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.
You must know that Wen Fei has been fooling around in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long, and he hasn't even checked the historical materials of the Northern Song Dynasty. Changing to someone else, it naturally feels incredible. But Wen Fei is a guy, but he plays games as soon as he gets started, and he never bothered to look at those backgrounds, strategies and the like. Often when you encounter difficulties and don't know how to play next, you will go to check the strategy temporarily. With his character, if he hadn't encountered such a great danger in modern time and space, he had to devote his main energy to the Northern Song Dynasty, he would definitely never have thought of checking these materials!
That is, now that he has a clear goal, Wen Fei has the urge to check the information.
However, the craftsmanship of this great ride was extremely complicated, and Wen Fei waited for a day or two, but he could not see the hope of completion, so he had to purchase a batch of handicrafts and run back to the Northern Song Dynasty.
He disappeared in his own house, and he reappeared in his own house. The residence of Mr. Fudo is so large that it is like a park. There shouldn't be too much open space, not to mention that it's not the same as the modern day of hiding. Wen Fei returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was so generous.
Now dozens of people have been recruited in this house, so that the maids are all available.
But I don't know that Wen Fei has just been given a house by the emperor, and as soon as the ship goes, how many powerful officials are blocking the door of Wen Fei's house, wanting to visit Mr. Demon Fudao.
Those hired workers invited by Song Laoshi are all extremely high, and they have all worked as servants in the homes of those powerful and wealthy families. can actually cope with this kind of scene, and will not panic and mess up.
No matter how unbearable the Song generation is, at least it is quite lenient on personal freedom. During the reign of Song Renzong, private slaves and maids were given the legal status of the people, that is, legally speaking, slaves and maids were citizens of the state and had a certain power. Even if these slaves and servants died, the government had to check whether they had been killed by the hired master's family.
In the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prime minister Chen Zhizhong favored the concubine and flogged the female envoy Ying'er to death, and the palace servant Zhao Luan impeached "Zhizhong can not be innocent, if the female envoy has committed a crime, she should be sent to the official to be dismissed, how should it be unscrupulous, lose the court's court, and violate the law of the court."
This incident led to the "noisy road" in Kaifeng, the capital city, and Chen Zhizhong was dismissed as a result. At the time of Yingzong, there was an official Liu Note, who sat in front of the servant, "chasing the three officials, and Tanzhou was in charge". It shows that the Song Dynasty no longer adheres to the traditional dogma of high-ranking officials and cruelty to slaves and maids according to the "privilege law". In the past, these slaves were just cattle, and they were killed. It's a pity that the Song Dynasty died, and the later maid system was revived.
Servants are all hired, slavery has been abolished, and even concubines have a relatively ** status. It will not be like after the Ming and Qing dynasties, almost being treated as a slave by the wife and her husband. After arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, unauthorized murder and female envoys were only capital crimes.
Moreover, the relationship between these hired servants and the people who work is not a master-servant relationship, but a mercenary relationship. When Wen Fei knew this, his jaw almost dropped in shock. He always thought that in ancient times, he was the slave master of the pigtail dynasty!
So even those big families who are tired and rich don't have such a thing as a slave who has children and children. It was all hiring, just like it is today.
