Chapter 185

These four-wheeled carriages that traveled between Linzi City and various counties and counties, while bringing out tools, farm tools and techniques, brought back various news from each county and military government to Linzi.

The biggest impact of the coming and goings of this month was that the mentality of the Tianke slaves under the rule of the powerful people in various places changed. When they saw a series of four-wheeled carts, they distributed the curved plows and brand new farm tools to the farmers and refugee households in the military government, all of these Tianke slaves became jealous.

With these powerful tools for reclamation, you can reclamate more land, which means you can harvest twice as much grain.

What made these powerful landlords even more jealous is that not to mention the soldiers of the field, but the newly arrived refugees were all divided into chubby plows and farm tools. Although not everyone has them, the speed of farming is still far beyond that of these powerful landlords and serfs. What’s more important is that the taxes of these refugees in the fall were only 30% of the various taxes, which made these semi-serfs even more jealous.

It was very open. Some of the Tianke who had originally been hiding in the powerful, fled one after another, ran to nearby counties, and became registered households as refugees.

Because most of the powerful Tianke slaves do not have official registrations and are far more than the quota of Yinhu, the powerful people cannot report to the officials for these escaped Tianke serfs. Even the supervisors of the sect masters dare not go to the nearby counties to hunt down the fugitive slaves, so they can only strictly supervise their respective Tianke slaves.

As a result, more than a dozen cases of powerful people beating and killing escaped slaves soon occurred.

Liu Yu looked at several more cases of the tyrants chasing and fighting fugitive slaves. For these servants who were not from slavery, they can actually pursue the tyrants' death crimes. However, spring farming has officially begun. Liu Yu did not want to raise an army to punish these tyrants during this period, nor did he want to take this opportunity to suppress them.

I could only put it aside for a while, but Liu Yu still muttered softly helplessly.

"I sigh for a long time and cover my tears, mourning the hardships of people's livelihood."

Qu Yuan's sentence was very consistent with Liu Yu's mood at this time.

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, a sound of a silver bell rang out of the door and came in.

"Hehe, my husband, why are you so interested? You actually started to recite Qu Zi's "Li Sao"?"

As he said that, the little loli Wang Ze, dressed in gorgeous clothes and combed with cloudy hair, oh, it can no longer be forgotten at this time. After more than a year of growing up, he is already completely like a young woman.

Surrounded by several maids with their clothes and hands hanging down, Wang Ze entered Liu Yu's study.

"It's not a matter of interest, it's just an admiration for the hardships of ordinary people's lives."

After more than a year of getting along, Liu Yu liked his young wife Wang Ze very much.

Although I am not an old cow, whether it is a calf, a medium cow or an old cow, I always like young grass.

Wang Ze just walked to Liu Yu and wanted to sit next to him. Liu Yu stretched out his hand and Wang Ze's petite body fell into Liu Yu's arms.

Wang Ze's face turned red, but he was very happy.

Although there were a few maids next to her, she did not treat these maids as any annoying things at all, so she felt at ease and stuck to Liu Yu's arms.

"Where are you going?" Liu Yu asked in his arms.

"I'll go see Li Ping'er first. She is pregnant. As the mistress, I should naturally be concerned about it." Wang Ze said.

Li Ping'er, in order to curry favor with Liu Yu, Li, a powerful man in Juancheng, gave a daughter to Liu Yu as a concubine. She was just over a month old.

Liu Yu immediately smelled a jealous smell from the girl's body fragrance. No matter how old a woman is, it would be better to let them smell less vinegar.

"Then Li Ping'er has his own servants from his mother's family in Juancheng. You don't have to worry about her. How can a concubine do the elder wife personally visit her?"

Liu Yu knew that Wang Ze was young, but he was not very jealous, so he just passed.

After casually coaxing Wang Ze stopped talking about this, she continued.

"Actually, I just went to see Li Ping'er. Yunzhu was about to give birth. I went to see her. But when I was there, Yunzhu fell asleep and no one called her. When I came back, I took a look at Li Ping'er."

The "Yunzhu" mentioned by Wang Ze is her dowry maid, a plump woman. Liu Yu "missed into the deputy car" and was about to give birth.

At the beginning, Liu Yu was a little surprised, and Wang Ze did not seem to be jealous of the dowry maid Yunzhu "overstepped his duties", and he was even less jealous of Yunzhu's desire to give birth to a baby.

Now, Liu Yu has understood that this is entirely because of the dowry maid like Yunzhu. In the eyes of a high-ranking lady like Wang Ze, it is basically a substitute. Everything about them is in the hands of Wang Ze. Even if they have children, they are Wang Ze's children. They can only be slaves to the children. Although there is another special relationship, the main head and wife will not mention it, and no one in the mansion will mention it to this child.

Liu Yu then asked a few random questions. He was already very familiar with these interpersonal relationships under the relationship between etiquette and law, and some of the views of later generations were not to adapt to this era.

What's more, the beneficiary of this kind of etiquette is Liu Yu himself.

Is it unhappy when the stars arch the moon?

Cool.

Therefore, Liu Yu was too lazy to work hard to be thankless.

After chatting with Liu Yuqing for a while, Wang Ze blinked his eyes lightly, and a hazy mist raised his eyes and said in a delicate tone.

"Husband, I am sixteen years old this year, and my birthday is February, so I am very old."

Liu Yu had heard Wang Ze's words several times, and he had always used his age and so on to avoid it.

"You are still old..." Liu Yu was blocked by two fingers as soon as he spoke.

Unfortunately, as soon as I made up my mind, two loud voices like cows came from outside.

"Sir, sir, Wang Li came from Lelang County and reported the important matter!"

It was the voice of his eldest nephew Liu Xun, otherwise no one in the courtyard would dare to shout so loudly.

Liu Yu, who had just stretched out his hand, quickly gave up. Wang Ze was also embarrassed and annoyed, and led a few maids out and left.

When Liu Xun saw Wang Ze going out, he respectfully called "Uncle" but only got Wang Ze's eyes rolling.

Liu Xun, confused, entered the house and asked.

"Wang Li, what letter came from Lelang?"

Liu Xun quickly handed a letter with a secret sign to Liu Yu. Liu Yu looked at the outer seal. There was no problem, so he opened the envelope and took out the letter and read it.

There was not much in the letter, and Liu Yu finished reading it quickly and didn't say anything.

Liu Xun asked curiously, "Sir, what did Wang Li say in his letter?"

"Wang Li said that we would probably not be able to recover the capital by delivering the weapons and armor from Lelang in advance," Liu Yu said calmly.

When Liu Xun heard this, he was immediately furious, "What! Could it be that the scholars in these two counties will be able to rely on their debts!"

"Don't be able to pay the debt?" Liu Yu continued to say calmly, "That's not. We have the ability to collect debts by force, and they dare not."

"It's not that you're not lying to pay, what is that?" Liu Xun asked.
