Chapter 191 Carving a Stone Monument
Wang Buli's first two rules can be said to have completely won over the villagers of Yong'an Village.
Where can I find such a master who does not compete with the people for profit?
When you praise Wang Buli for his clear soup, he really comes from the bottom of his heart.
The people from the Inspection Department who took the initiative to protect him on the road felt a little regretful after hearing Wang Buli's words. Why were they not born in Yong'an Village?
As a rural police station, the Inspection Department is the most important police system below the county level. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was mainly used to catch thieves.
But in the Ming Dynasty, their responsibilities became even heavier.
Because Lao Zhu attached great importance to the role of the Inspection Department in suppressing local areas and maintaining law and order, the deployment of archers was unprecedented.
Now this whole area is protected by the Prince Consort. From now on, everyone must be more careful to avoid being sued by the people of Yong'an Village.
The inspection led to Liu Youjiang's death in a mysterious way. Everyone suspected that Master Dianshi had done it himself. If he then checked himself, it would be impossible to find out anything.
After they got up, Wang Buli said slowly:
"Third, you can't be the only ones to encounter this kind of good thing. I still prefer strange and obscene skills, so I will also move some craftsmen to settle here.
Where can you find such good treatment as the first two?
Wang Buli nodded, then stood up and continued:
Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally the head of the village responded. He didn't have any objections, and it was all up to the prince-in-law to make the decision.
Zhu Di also felt that Wang Buli was too generous to the tenants under his rule, so he asked in a low voice: "Is he making a lot of money in Qinhuai?"
Such rules instantly turned these people into "superiors". Who among the people from all over the country would not be envious after hearing this?
The sound is so loud that people around can hear it.
Enlightened to literacy?
The people of Yong'an Village still yearn for the idea of being able to read and become scholars.
"Fourth, I will build a school in the village. As long as they are from Yong'an Village, all their children, regardless of their household registration, must enter the school for enlightenment.
Even if you go out and ask around, you can compare how much rent a tenant pays to the owner's family in those noble farms.
Then Zhu Di heard what Li Jinglong said:
"Prince-in-law, for your generous behavior, have you ever considered the feelings of other nobles?"
But at this time, Wang Buli made his own decision. He looked at Yan King Zhu Di on one side. After the two of them knew the news that Wang Buli had obtained the farm, they wanted to take the opportunity to have a big meal.
Regarding the two people who jumped out to make a fool of themselves, Wang Buli felt funny in his heart, why were they still acting?
Because they all know that after becoming scholars, the court will give them food, and they can still be officials in the future, or at least be officials.
After Wang Buli finished speaking, he sat on the bamboo chair and waited for them to whisper to each other.
Zhu Di thought about his sister's temperament, and it was difficult for him to answer.
Remember what I said, girls can do it too. I don’t want any drowning of boys or girls to happen in the village. If I find out, it will be treated as murder. As a parent, you have to pay with your life. "
As for girls' literacy, they probably don't understand it. They just think that all the ladies in the official's family are literate and will marry into good families in the future.
Li Jinglong also knew that this matter was too shocking, so he asked in a low voice:
"Cousin Xiu'er will be the head of the family from now on, right?"
"Wang Buli is a capable man. He puts his energy into running the family, and he may be able to manage it better than us."
Zhu Di didn't say much. This was Wang Buli's home court. Who would have no brains to refute him at this time and say that what he did was too merciful.
If you have any opinions, you can raise them on the spot. I treat people with sincerity, and I hope you don’t have evil intentions. I will also get angry if I go against my will. "
To put it bluntly, tenants are equivalent to slaves rewarded by His Majesty. If you treat your slaves too well, they will forget their place and might bite their master.
Especially when it comes to migration, it is normal for the former villagers to unite to bully outsiders.
To avoid doing anything that would lead to execution without reporting.
Zhong Niu and others nodded after listening to this exchange. The Prince Consort is asking you politely, if you are really shameless and make some excessive demands.
If you are still dissatisfied, I am afraid that you are really evil-hearted, and you should walk across the river and be dragged down by the water ghost and drowned.
Because this is simply not what a distinguished person should do.
He would probably have a different temperament from the princess in his family.
Even Li Jinglong, who had been sitting with him, was shocked by Wang Buli's decision.
However, other people's acting skills are amazing, so Wang Buli naturally wants to take over the role, lest they become villains in vain:
Then he stood up and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to make a decision without consulting the princess?"
He doesn't even need to take action, the people below will get rid of you bunch of unruly people.
"I, a prince-in-law, set the rules in the village given to me by the emperor. Do I need to interfere with others?"
Zhu Di was very puzzled that Li Jinglong's brain was not working well, but it was not that bad, but he saw him blinking at him.
With such good treatment, what else does Wang Buli have to eat at home?
Just relying on Ye Qinhuai's income?
But even though Ye Qinhuai had a lot of income, land was the foundation.
In fact, he could definitely suppress it, but after all, he was not an overly feudal person, so he had to set some rules first.
I hope you won’t do anything exclusive. Since I told you in advance, we will talk openly and honestly.
Wang Buli also knew that as long as there were more people, there would be more disputes.
No noble family treats their tenants like this.
I never thought that this kid could run very fast, and the two of them only arrived halfway.
"Well, ice cream is sold at a higher price, and Xiaoyao Wan is even more popular. Everyone wants to buy it to add to the fun."
The chief and others knelt down again and thanked Wang Buli for his great kindness.
"Then you have to ask the princess what she wants. You can't make any decisions without authorization." Zhu Di pointed at Wang Buli and said:
"I know you have good intentions to fight for the interests of the tenants in your village, but you can't go too far.
What will your family eat in the future? "
When the people below listened to the two young men, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di, dressed in rich clothes, arguing with the prince-in-law again, they knew that their identities must not be simple.
"You don't need to worry about the future life of the princess and I. We will never die of hunger. Even if we go to the homes of my fellow villagers in Yong'an Village for a meal, we will find it ourselves."
"You really don't understand good people. I'm just reminding you not to break the rules. It will make you appear to be a good person, and we noble people are all evil people."
Li Jinglong, who was extremely talented in acting, snorted and sat aside again.
"These three lines are carved on stone and stand at the entrance of Yong'an Village."
As soon as Wang Buli's words came out, the villagers were even more grateful.
Carving a stone and erecting a monument is equivalent to a promise.
Everyone knows it.
"Are there any masons?" Wang Buli shouted to the people kneeling below:
"Come out quickly and engrave it as I say, lest I regret it."
So under Li Zheng's instructions, the mason immediately stepped forward and asked the Prince Consort to write, and he would carve it exactly according to the handwriting.
Wang Buli waved his hand and asked Wen Ke to write down the three rules he just mentioned and have someone follow them and carve them on the stone.
"In short, when I, Wang Buli, come here to manage the farmland given by the emperor, I will definitely manage it well, and I will not let you go hungry or force your wives and children to live apart.
But if you dare to break the rules I have set and violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, please don't forget my identity as a Dianshi. It will be easier to arrest you. "
Then Wang Buli ordered everyone to disperse, and the officials all went to work separately, registering and making books.
When the people of Yong'an Village saw their consort Wang Buli act so decisively, they said they were not happy, but that was a lie.
Especially for the two people who once served as witnesses and followed Wang Buli to the county government office to eat and drink, they were happy.
They had long heard at the county government office that the prince-in-law was very generous to the people under him.
The performance of the Prince Consort today proves this point.
There are also people who are worried that they have to pay half of the rent. They really don’t understand good people.
Yu Sheng and his wife were murdered. Did the consort ask for money?
He didn't even eat in the village and went straight back to arrest people.
"We brothers will have a good life in the future."
"Abide by the rules. You must abide by the rules of the Prince Consort."
After the crowd dispersed, Li Jinglong took the lead and asked, "My consort, why are you so poor and generous?"
"How many ounces of oil can those poor devils who dig in the soil squeeze out? I don't like it."
Wang Buli leaned on the chair and said carelessly.
Such unkind words made Zhu Di agree with him very much. He believed that Wang Buli was a capable person who could make a lot of money with any means. He really looked down on the oil and water digging in the soil.
Prince Yan's Mansion made a lot of money just by selling baths, toilets, etc.
"If I don't treat the people better, will I force them to become as miserable as the emperor and overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Buli fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and said, "I actually think that the saying 'land to the tiller' is always bullshit in the feudal lands."
He swallowed back the four words "feudal society":
"In a few years, the nobles will annex the peasants' land and turn them into tenants. By then, farmers who are worse off than your father will be everywhere."
"Impossible." Zhu Di shook his head repeatedly: "My father restricted nobles from annexing other people's lands."
"Your father first banned corruption and bribery among officials, so why were so many people killed?"
Wang Buli leaned on his chair and said politely:
"People are selfish. For example, Li Jinglong will inherit the title of Duke Cao in the future. When he dies and his son inherits the title, even if the rent needs to be increased, can you still object?"
Li Jinglong thought to himself, "I'm already dead, so what the hell am I still objecting to?"
Zhu Di, on the other hand, shook his head: "The law will punish the heirs of Duke Cao Guo."
"You don't believe in the wisdom of future generations?" Li Jinglong asked surprisingly.
"You want me to believe in the wisdom of future generations?"
Wang Buli chuckled and lost interest in answering.
"As soon as your rules come out, everyone in the capital will say that you, Wang Buli, are the great master of Qingtian, a good man from all over the country.
Some people may even use you as an excuse to trick a few tenants into looking for Xun Gui, and then implicat you after a conflict breaks out. "
Although Zhu Di is obsessed with military affairs, he can also see clearly the signs of party struggle between the DPRK and China.
"They are not tenants in my village. Unless they cause trouble in Jiangning County and come under my control, it is none of my business."
Wang Buli replied nonchalantly, if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, just make trouble.
It's not me who should have a headache.
"Why do you want to punish the craftsmen?" Zhu Di asked the key question: "I heard that someone was impeaching you and your cousin in the court."
"Of course it's for your Highness, Prince Yan." Wang Buli said in a joking tone:
