Chapter 63 Rescue the craftsman and get a good name

Many villagers actively stood up and sued Supervisor Zhang and Zhang Li for the evil they have done in the village over the years.

The more Su Rujin heard it, the more ugly his face became. Are the brothers from the Zhang family still considered human beings? They insulted animals by saying that they are beasts.

Su Rujin ordered Wuyang Army to transcribe the villagers' testimony, and ordered Tong San and his wife to be buried generously.

The children of the Tong family were taken home by Er Gouzi's mother. Su Rujin left enough rice and clothes for Er Gouzi's family, and quietly gave Er Gouzi a few taels of silver.

She knew very well that if she gave it to Er Gou Ziniang, Er Gou Ziniang would not accept it. Even the clothes, bedding and food were taken by the villagers.

Thinking of the villagers kowtowing to her because of the objects and food she brought, and saying that she was a living Bodhisattva, Su Rujin felt sour.

She saw the villagers holding the quilt carefully and touching it carefully. She saw the surprise in the eyes of the men and women holding the new clothes. She heard the children shouting that their parents had new clothes. When asked whether it was possible to make the old clothes smaller for them to wear, Su Rujin felt as if a stone had weighed on her mind.

On the way back, Su Rujin's complexion was always bad. She thought about killing these scumbags directly, but she couldn't. Although she had this ability, she couldn't recruit her family any more.

Supervisor Zhang and Zhang Lizheng were escorted back to the Yamen by the Wuyang Army. There was a lawyer in the Xiangfu, and the people in the Yamen would only do things impartially and dare not bend the law for personal gain. something.

She walked around the village with Old Man Zheng and others. She never knew how hard life can be.

She saw many naked children, and she saw many women working barefoot.

She saw many elderly people of seventy-seven years bent over and doing their best to help their families.

She saw that every house was dilapidated, many of them didn't even have doors, and some even lived together with animals.

Those children who should be studying in private schools are barefoot touching fish and shrimps in the village river to do housework, and some small people carry firewood heavier than them on their backs.

They carry a heavier burden on their shoulders.

The most unacceptable thing for her is that girls of her age, because the family is poor and have no money to buy clothes for them, they don't even have a piece of clothing to hide their shame, and they are locked at home by their families and hide in straw piles.

Bitao and Shuiqin were also silent, looking at the gifts from the villagers with mixed feelings.

Shuiqin picked up a ripe persimmon, it was the first time she had seen this orange-red persimmon hanging on the branch like little lanterns.

She looked at it curiously, and the owner of the fruit tree quickly picked a few and handed them to her.

A word from a villager's child at the side made her freeze in place.

She said: "Mother, you can save this fruit for the winter. If we give it to my sister, will we starve to death like Lady Magpie and Grandma in winter?"

Shui Qin handed the fruit to Su Rujin, and said in a harsh voice:
"Girl, this is a gift from the villagers, and this is the first time this servant has seen this fruit."

Su Rujin took the persimmon, not only did Shuiqin hear what the little girl said, she also heard it.

"Girl, they are so pitiful. This servant wants to help them. I used to be a child who grew up in the village, but every household in our village has enough food to eat and keep warm. I have never seen such a barren village. And it’s actually still in a village at the foot of the prosperous capital city.”

Su Rujin looked at the persimmon in her hand and fell into deep thought. The geographical location of Taiping Village is very good, and there is no such thing as traffic congestion.

It should be that Taiping Village shouldn't be so poor, but she learned from old man Zheng that most of the households are artisan households, more than half of the fifty households in the village are artisan households, and the rest are farmers who support the fields.

The artisan households had no fields and naturally there would be no grain harvest. They served the court for free and had no income. They relied on the hard work of the women at home. In ancient times, very few women could earn money.

They earn a living by taking on some jobs, and the money they earn is not enough for food and clothing.

"Jiang Qi goes to Fengyang Tower." Su Rujin already had a plan in mind, and ordered:

"Go and call all shopkeepers to Fengyang Tower."

When Su Rujin arrived at Fengyang Tower, she went directly to the backyard where she worked.

Fengyanglou's birthday is as popular as ever.

Su Rujin looked at the swill in the backyard. These people in Taiping Village didn't even have to eat swill.

Su Rujin sat in front of the case and looked at the account book of Fengyang Building, full of thoughts.

The drinks in Fengyang Tower are custom-made from the wine shop outside.

Now that she has a recipe for fine wine, she can definitely build a winery.

Craftsmen are needed to build a winery, and wine brewers are needed after the winery is built. Thinking of this, Su Rujin's complexion softened a lot.

She thought of a way to save the craftsman.

Not only the drinks in Fengyanglou are purchased, but even the ingredients are purchased from various dealers.

Taiping Village is located in a beautiful location, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and she can buy many ingredients from Taiping Village.

She can also learn from many predecessors, assigning poultry seedlings and piglets to the women in the village to raise them, and then she will recycle them to the villagers for wages.

There are treasures in the mountains and rivers, and the villagers used to have no channels. She can become the head of the villagers and buy things from the villagers.

Wuyang Army's work was very efficient, and in less than an hour, shopkeepers scattered in various areas of the capital city gathered in front of Su Rujin.

Su Rujin looked at the four or fifty people in front of her in surprise and said:
"This...these are all the shopkeepers who manage my mother's shop?"

Since she came in, she only took over her mother's Fengyang Building. She never knew how many shops her mother had, let alone what industries her mother had dabbled in in the past.

Su Rujin saw three female shopkeepers among the male shopkeepers with sharp eyes.

Among them was a female shopkeeper with exaggerated makeup and sexy clothes.

Could it be that mother also dabbled in the business of fireworks and willow alley?

Su Rujin pointed to the female shopkeeper and asked:

"Which store are you in charge of, and what kind of business is the store in charge of?"

The female shopkeeper came out twisting her waist, and replied in a somewhat aggressive tone:
"Back to my little master, the servant's family is the bustard who is in charge of the Yuchun Tower, and what's going on underneath is"

Jiang Yi at the side immediately interrupted:
"Okay, Chunniang, the little master is still young, so don't dirty the little master's ears with your dirty words."

Chunniang glared at Jiang Yi dissatisfied, and retorted:

"Why is my Yuchun Tower a filthy place, you men have dirty minds."

Turning to look at Su Rujin, she replied:
"Returning to my little master, most of the girls in Yuchun Tower are performers but not their bodies, only a few girls are prostitutes, and they are voluntary.

The girls in Yuchunlou are poor people, and Lord Hou kindly built Yuchunlou to take them in. "

Su Rujin was puzzled, since she took them in with good intentions, why not assign them to various shops or call them into the mansion to be maids, why let them live in brothels.

Su Rujin frowned, Chunniang saw the little master's confusion and explained:

"Young master, please don't get me wrong. Most of the girls in Yuchun Tower are former officials' daughters. They are all committed crimes at home and used as official prostitutes. The imperial court has a priest's workshop under the name of Liangxiao Pavilion. Most of the girls in Yuchun Tower It was Hou Ye who rescued him from Liangxiao Pavilion.

Lord Hou's ability is limited, and most of the girls rescued were implicated by members of the clan and did not commit crimes themselves.

Those of her... Hey, I'm afraid they will stay in the Liangxiao Pavilion for the rest of their lives until they die. "
