Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 112

"Returning to my uncle, all the households outside the village are sin slaves in the mansion, so naturally we can't let them go. If they fail to give birth, they will definitely be punished severely. My uncle has a heart of a Bodhisattva, but those sin slaves may not be kind to accept it."

The owners of several villas in the outskirts of Shenjing arrived early, and someone wronged Jia Rong and said, "We, the owners of the villas, also think about the sake of the mansion, and have no other thoughts."

Jia Rong smiled coldly.This sound made several villa owners have a premonition that something bad was going to happen. They vented their breath before Uncle Rong arrived, and the rent on each villa was underreported.All other production cuts were pushed on top of natural disasters.

Uncle Rong said: "The reason why you eat fat and big ears in the village is for the sake of the house? Since it is so troublesome for you to manage the Zhuangzi, you don't have to guard the Zhuangzi in the future. This year, several Zhuangzi in Shenjing will add up. , only a few thousand taels of silver a year. Other than that, there are only a few chickens, ducks, fish and geese. Thinking about it, it is indeed a hard job. Let’s replace it. for you."

"This……"

The villa owners are most afraid of this kind of thing. Although their power in the villa is already strong, the Ningguo Mansion hates them and wants to replace them.There was nothing they could do, and only one person said: "Master, think twice, it's not easy to manage the sinful farmers in the village. If there is a new one, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to fail."

"Then wait for a year or two. In the past two years, whoever failed to take care of them will continue to change people." Jia Rong made up his mind to implement a rotation system, and said politely: "Mr. Give them a pair of account books investigated by each village, to see which villager's rent does not match the account book?"

When did the Ningguo Mansion do this?The five villa owners really panicked, they didn't know anything about it.

Lai Sheng was taken aback, he didn't have any account books in his hand, and looked at Uncle Rong suspiciously.

Jia Rong suddenly said: "Oh, I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to ask you to get the account book. But I still remember that Jia Fan and Jia Qin were sent a meal by the clan for spreading rumors earlier. .Later, it made all the houses stay away from each other, and others stopped dealing with them. So they found me in the middle of the year and gave them this job. But I really don’t know if I don’t check it. I’m shocked when I check it. You really know how to live, and you have a lot of means."

Does Ningguo Mansion really have account books?
The Zhuangzi were extremely nervous. Over the years, they got the post of director of the Zhuangzi by relying on the close relationship between their ancestors and the Ningguo Mansion.Later, the masters in the mansion became more and more ignorant, and the rent they gave each year fluctuated from time to time, and they took a lot out of it.

Jia Rong said: "Don't worry, since you all say that I am a Bodhisattva, and your ancestors followed Ning Guogong through life and death, how can you forget this friendship. So I don't pursue things that are too old, I just buy them out with those silver coins." However, this year I am the head of the mansion, and this year's rent must be paid. Also, when you move out of the village, you cannot take a single copper coin from the manor with you."

The proprietors were dumbfounded!

Can't take a copper plate away?This... the ancestors of these villa owners managed the village and have been running the village.The income from their previous generations of business operations was finally put into the Dao Manor, as well as food and clothing.Thinking that they can get a sum of money from the rent every year anyway, and their status as slaves cannot buy private property, so they live a luxurious life in the village.

It doesn't matter to them that they can't take the copper coins.

A few people still have luck in their hearts, as long as they take away a few jackets, calligraphy and paintings, and a few tables, there will be a lot of surplus.

Jia Rong said: "You don't have to worry too much, it will be estimated that they have already arrived at your village."

"them?"

"That's right, Jia Fan and Jia Qin are accompanied by the directors of Ningguo Mansion He, Lu, Shi, Zhang, Kong, Cao, Yan, and Hua. I am afraid that there will not be enough manpower, so I found them from the second aunt Lian of Xifu. Laiwang and Laixi will help." Brother Rong said softly.

This is a big battle for home raids!
Lai Sheng was taken aback by Uncle Rong's words.Because of this matter, he didn't know at all.Tremblingly asked: "Why didn't you hear any news?"

"Oh! It was decided temporarily this morning." Uncle Rong said indifferently, "It's not a big deal, I just want to see how much wealth the Mei, Sheng, Lin, and Diao families have accumulated in the five villages over the years. "

Examples can be found in everything in the world, and Brother Rong still found inspiration from the crisis of ransacking Jia's house.

Since the emperor can copy the Jia family in the future, for the same reason, why didn't the Jia family copy the homes of these proprietors.Thinking back when King Zhongshun was running a deficit in the household department, even the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County was almost sold off, and he just swept away the moths in Ningguo Mansion, which was much worse than the Thirteenth Lord.

Thirteenth Master is really a good teacher.

At this moment, the Mei brothers, Sheng, Lin, and Diao were like ants on a hot pot, restless, but helpless.Only Mei Maobing, the eldest brother of the Mei brothers, begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, the old servant has been working hard since he accepted this Zhuangzi, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary."

Brother Rong sighed: "I know about the situation of Zhuang Zhuang's village, but he is not as deceitful as the other four Zhuangzi. But Zhuangzi Mei looks at the chair sitting under him, and looks at the room. I am afraid that some of the furnishings in the house may not even be owned by our Lord Ningguo. I think the owner of Mei Zhuang should be clear about how these objects came about."

"This..." Mei Maobing was taken aback, and smiled bitterly.These items have nothing to do with him, but were accumulated by his grandparents along the way, although some of them were gifted by the Ningguo Mansion.But most of them are also drawn from the annual rent for purchase.

"You don't need to worry, the owners. Your family will be taken care of in the house. There are still a few small houses in the back street of Ningrong. You can move there first." Jia Rong didn't want to talk nonsense to them anymore. , and said: "As for the owner of Meizhuang, I will continue to act as the owner of the villa for the time being. If the situation of the villages improves next year, even if you are mentioned as the prime minister of several Zhuangzi in Shenjing, it will not hurt to let you be the head of the village."

To put it bluntly, Mei Maobing was surprised first and then delighted.

Brother Rong looked at the expressions of envy and jealousy on the faces of the other people, then smiled lightly and said to Mei Maobing: "I heard that you have a young son, who is only five or six years old now. As long as you manage these Zhuangzi well , I will go to the yamen to remove your young son's slave status, and you can also take him to Jia's Yi school, and donate an official position in the future. "

This is the biggest temptation for these landlords who collect rent on the estate.

Sure enough, Mei Maobing smiled happily, and she didn't have anything to worry about, even her own brother didn't care.

Uncle Rong said again: "However, you will not be able to live in this garden in the future. You can live in another village. This garden is reserved for Brother Qiang and the others from the kiln."

Where did Mei Maobing know about the manor?As the saying goes, it is hard to buy a free body with a thousand dollars, even if you go bankrupt and exchange your freedom for future generations, it is still worth it.Not to mention that there is still hope of becoming an official, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Uncle Rong.

Lai Sheng looked at Mei Maobing's appearance.He sort of understood the meaning of the uncle's move, but it was just to frighten and reward some benefits.Let these villa owners be determined to work for the Ningguo Mansion, and stop thinking about any crooked ideas.

Sure enough, the other masters Mei, Sheng, Lin, and Diao knelt down on the ground, crying and shouting that they knew they were wrong, and only begged Master Rong for mercy.

Although these people can live freely in the village, they are only in the village.The status of domestic slaves is their eternal shackles, a shackle that no amount of money can break, not to mention that most of the money is drawn from the rent of Ningguo Mansion.

"Master, please give them another chance." Mei Maobing looked at his younger brother and finally couldn't help pleading.

Uncle Rong squinted at him, nodded and said, "Since Mei Zhuang head begged for mercy, I will give you another chance. As long as the four villages can be taken care of in the next three years, the past will not be pursued."

The faces of the few people were overjoyed, but Brother Rong said again: "However, the money and goods on the manor will be stolen today. It doesn't matter, as long as you do well, you are the same as Mei Zhuangtou. Nominate him, he will be sent to Yi Xue in the future, and he will be released from the Yamen by the way."

Uncle is really a good method!Not only copied all the private properties of the five owners, but also let the five be grateful and continue to work.Lai Sheng sighed inwardly.He couldn't help re-examining Uncle Rong again, and made up his mind to talk more politely with the eldest brother in Xifu, so as not to copy it to the Lai family in the future.

It's not easy for the Lai family to get rid of their citizenship, and in the future they are still counting on Ningrong and Rongfu to donate an official status.

Lai Sheng also didn't want to see the Lai family's hard work over the years come to nothing.

After Brother Rong left the manor, all the owners of the Ningguo Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.But the few people were already sitting there paralyzed, and after experiencing the ups and downs in their hearts, they had long lost their strength.

Que'er watched the whole process, and said with a smile: "You are really smart, you just scared these guys like this."

But Brother Rong shook his head, took out an account book from his jacket, and said meaningfully: "I'm not trying to scare them, I know a lot. There is also evidence for the Zhuangzi playing ghosts in these places. It's just that Withdrawing them for a while and replacing them with other people may not be able to do well with them. That's why we only confiscated their property and let them continue to work for the Ningguo Mansion."

Que'er felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Uncle Rong, and said, "Master is very thoughtful."

Lai Sheng listened to the conversation between the two, and felt even more uncomfortable than Que'er.It turned out that the uncle still didn't trust himself, and he didn't reveal anything about such things.He sighed softly, but there was nothing he could do.

Jia Rong ignored what Lai Sheng and Que'er were thinking, and went back to the kiln factory, and learned that the Qin family father and son had a lively chat with Jia Qiang, and even left reluctantly for a while.

Qin Zhong and Brother Rong said: "Master, can I ask my sister to help me? I know that even if I work hard on economics, history and policy theory, I may not be able to become a scholar. It's better to come to the kiln to study stones and do something for my sister and brother-in-law." Little things."

Don't want to be an official?Want to be a craftsman?
"Is this what you really think?"

Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said: "I looked at the stone, and I felt happy. After listening to what Qiang Erye did in the kiln, I don't know why there are thousands of thoughts in my mind. I think this is more interesting than reading classics and history. It is also more practical than stereotyped classics and history. The master also said that I have talent, so it is not impossible to help in the kiln."

Brother Qiang came over, took Jia Rong's hand, and said in an intimate manner: "Brother Rong agreed to Brother Zhong's wish. Brother Zhong came here today and gave him a lot of ideas. Even Master Qin, Zong Cheng and other craftsmen are also recognized."

Jia Rong had no choice but to let the Qin family and father and son live in the manor for a few days before listening to their ideas.

When they returned to Ningguo Mansion, they saw a long motorcade lined up outside the mansion with large and small goods tied to it.

Jia Qin came up to claim credit and said, "I've made a fortune today. I have copied tens of thousands of taels of goods from the homes of those old beheaders."
