"Dongzhu, the next step of the plan is a success." Before Shopkeeper Jiang returned to the shop, the news had already reached Zhuangzi.
"There's no hurry. There are less than two days left. I want to see how Jiang Hui can't let a little Zhuangzi live. Have you prepared the other goods? "
Li Yi didn't have any mercy at this moment. He either didn't make a move, or he didn't show any mercy.
This time, the other party touched someone he shouldn't have, and he helped.
If the target was a commoner, how much pressure would the commoners have to bear?
A gentleman loves money, but he obtains it in the right way.
It was not easy for the commoners to sue the officials when they were bullied. Even if they sent students to be the litigators for the commoners for free.
Only when the matter was blown up and someone wrote a letter of impeachment could it be resolved.
During the entire process, the commoners would be on tenterhooks and under too much mental pressure. They might even fall sick and die.
Li Yi decided to beat the other party down in one go, the kind that couldn't be turned over.
The warmth was just one of the links. There were more.
…
"Ah, oh, uh, yi, wu, hu …" In the Zhuangzi bought under Xiao Lan's name, Princess Yongmu was teaching a large group of children.
The children who didn't know Hanyu Pinyin were invited over. She said that they would be sent back after dinner to teach the children Pinyin for free.
The nearby families saw the Zhuangzi lit the lamp at night. They dared to burn it for the whole night, proving the little Zhuangzi's wealth.
At first, there were both boys and girls at home. Only the boys were sent over. Only the girls were hesitant.
They thought that the girls would belong to someone else in the future. What was the use of learning how to read?
Now that they learned, should they buy brushes, ink, and paper at home in the future?
Wouldn't it be better to have time to help with work?
Xiao Lan brought the maids and guards to these families. She would 'snatch' the children.
A total of 41 children sat there and learned from Princess Yongmu, the beautiful big sister.
Princess Yongmu was patient. As long as the children were obedient and didn't cause trouble, she repeated the pronunciation over and over again and even wrote on the blackboard.
The children liked to see her smile, especially the boys. Beautiful girls liked it as well.
Zhou Gui didn't have time to manage Zhuangzi's affairs. Xiaolan was in charge and didn't have much work to do. Zhuangzi was too young.
Zhou Gui sent the vegetables over and then came back with the evil money.
Li An and his family followed suit and learned pinyin.
They discovered that the maids and guards could all read and write.
Naturally, Zhou Gui could do it too. He even knew how to settle accounts.
Only the five of them didn't know how to do it, so the pressure was immense.
"Time to eat, time to eat." The Li Family Zhuangzi's chef came over with a cart and shouted.
"Everyone, eat first. Eat as much as you can. Don't overeat. After eating, rest for a while. After that, the older children will continue with their studies. The younger children will take an afternoon nap."
Princess Yongmu found something to do and was very happy.
She called the children to eat. The dishes were all vegetables picked from the greenhouse.
Pickled eggplant strips, cucumber and egg soup, stir-fried shredded pork with cowpeas, braised pork with soy sauce, stewed green onion leaves and pickled vegetables.
Princess Yongmu, Xiaolan, and the maids were served two more dishes: braised vegetable and cold pig ears.
They needed a balanced diet. The most important thing for the children now was to eat meat.
The guards also needed to eat meat. The guards also had two more boiled eggs to ensure that there was no shortage of protein. They were considered to be doing physical and intellectual work.
The guards couldn't only know how to fight. At the critical moment, they had to analyze the situation. If they found that the situation was not good, they had to protect the people and run!
The lives of the commoners around the capital office were actually not bad. However, there was still a certain gap to say that everyone could eat vegetables and braised pork in the greenhouse.
They ate meat by selling a little meat, preferably fat, and cooked with dried vegetables and pickled vegetables. Their lives were much better than before.
The money that the family earned had to be saved for a rainy day.
The children ate the braised pork and rice in big mouthfuls. They didn't care about playing around.
After eating, the younger children went to sleep while the older children continued to study.
At night, they were served egg fried rice and fried eggplant boxes. They used dried eggplant, stuffed with meat, wrapped in noodles, and fried.
The guards carried kerosene lamps and sent them home. The children's parents thanked them profusely.
Zhou Gui dragged his tired body back. He had sold them four times today.
He didn't know how to make up for the losses. In any case, it was all evil money.
He brought the people who worked hard to pick vegetables to eat together. Everyone was very tired. The people who were hired were paid by the day.
"Is this Xiao Lan Village? We are from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites. "A shout came from outside.
"Don't eat yet. Go and take a look." Xiao Lan glanced at Zhou Gui.
Zhou Gui immediately stood up and ran out. A moment later, he returned with a face full of surprise. He was holding a stack of exchange vouchers in his hand.
"Dongzhu, the Ministry of Rites said that Zhuangzi has educated the people and should be rewarded. The Ministry of Revenue refunded all the taxes and even gave an extra ten taels of money."
Zhou Gui handed over the exchange vouchers and felt the warmth of the imperial court.
"Hmph! None of them did anything. They were just waiting to watch the show. When the matter was over, they thought that it would be fine just because they gave some money? We'll settle this score slowly. "
Xiao Lan didn't take the money. The steward was in charge of the money. She didn't need to touch it.
Zhou Gui: "…"
"Dongzhu, am I the same as Song De?" Zhou Gui felt that his status had increased.
"Bah! If you want some face, how can you compare to Song De? Do you know how many people and things Song De is in charge of? Song De has a bunch of stewards under him. Take your time to learn. "
Xiao Lan was still so rude.
She knew that the Li Family Zhuangzi was basically under Song De's control. Li Yi was only in charge of the major aspects and research and development.
Zhou Gui didn't care. He was thinking about his status as Song De's. As for managing tens of thousands of people, this … headache.
…
In the blink of an eye, the tenth day of the first lunar month arrived.
Zhuangzi, who was bought under Xiao Lan's name, was fine. In the morning, the surrounding families sent the children over and said that if they didn't listen, they would beat them to death. Then, they went back to work.
"Have you eaten?" Princess Yongmu saw the children and asked with a smile.
"No ~" The children shook their heads.
"Let's eat together." Princess Yongmu took the lead to wash her hands. The children lined up according to their sizes. The younger ones stood in front.
Zhou Gui didn't go to sell vegetables today. In the past two days, he had been picking vegetables too "hard". Many small vegetables had been picked out to be sold.
If he wanted to sell them again, he would have to pick cucumber thorns and eggplants.
He complained softly, "The adults know that we are good to the children. They don't give the children food and send them over to eat."
Princess Yongmu didn't seem to hear him. Xiao Lan glared at Zhou Gui. "Believe it or not, the children's parents haven't eaten either. They save time and eat after work is done."
"They're still eating our food." Zhou Gui wasn't used to his current position. When he was a butler in the past, he was very stingy. Otherwise, Dongzhu wouldn't be happy.
"It's not easy to be trusted and recognized by others. The people will remember your good deeds. You have a long way to go. Don't be conflicted because of the small benefits in front of you. "
Xiao Lan didn't scold Zhou Gui this time. Instead, she spoke according to the Li Family Zhuangzi's development.
They liked to take advantage of the Li Family Zhuangzi. This was the consensus of the people and officials in the capital. Everyone was willing to drink the free soup from the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Correspondingly, when the Li Family Zhuangzi encountered problems, countless people would respond.
If the Li Family Zhuangzi said that Song Jing was a corrupt official, Song Jing would have to face the slander of countless people. The people didn't consider whether Song Jing was a corrupt official. They listened to the Li Family Zhuangzi.
If the Li Family Zhuangzi said that the food in a restaurant was bad and could kill people, the restaurant could only close down. There was no other way.
The people drank the free soup from the Li Family Zhuangzi. This was a form of recognition for the Li Family Zhuangzi.
The people were worried that they would get sick from drinking the soup given by others.
