"Zhao Da! You will die!" Zheng Jiaweng stepped forward, pointing at Zhao Rong's nose, "Today you are working for a tiger! In the future, your Zhao family may retreat completely?"

Zhao Rong looked at Zheng Weng: "Since Zheng Weng knows that today is a ferocious tiger, why is he so obsessed with it? Zheng Weng looked around, your wife and son have bowed their heads and are willing to be loyal to the present, why bother to cut your own way of life? The Zheng family has a century-old reputation, so they should think more about future generations."

Zheng Weng looked up to the sky and smiled: "Zhao Da, you are ridiculous!"

"Break someone's arm, but you still need someone to offer it with both hands. My Zheng family is willing to send people and food, so why is he dissatisfied?!"

Zhao Rong: "It's just a few servants."

Zheng Weng scolded coldly: "Is it just a servant?"

"Your Zhao family is also a century-old family! You don't know if this is just a servant?"

"What is a servant? Old servants from generation to generation, my shop and your shop, aren't they all watched by servants?"

"Aren't your family's ancestral fields and my family's ancestral fields all guarded by servants?"

Zhao Rong cupped his hands and said: "Zheng Weng, I'm afraid that you are an elder, I'm going to say it all. Today's benevolence, but the benefit of a butcher's knife, is rare in the world. If you insist on your own opinion, it will not be Zhao who comes to persuade you with good words, but It's a sword and an ax to invite, Zheng Weng cherishes it."

Zhao Rong waved his sleeves and turned around, leading the people away.

Every step of the way, he is full of vigor, and his momentum is no longer that of the Zhao family's son.

"father!"

After Zhao Rong left, Zheng Weng's eldest son rushed to his father's side. He wanted to help Zheng Weng, but Zheng Weng waved him away.

"You! You!" Zheng Weng pointed at his son and wife, pointing at everyone, "Do you want to watch our Zheng family decline? Will the foundation left by our ancestors be ruined today?"

The eldest son knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Father, today is a tyrant and a fierce tiger. Only by abandoning the glory of the past can our Zheng family have a chance to breathe and send their children to the court in the future."

"Father." The eldest son took a few steps on his knees and hugged Zheng Weng's legs, "Our Zheng family has not made an inch of progress for a hundred years."

Zheng Weng couldn't stand upright, so he sat down on a chair: "You...are you willing to give up your ancestral foundation in order to be able to stand out in front of the new king?"

The eldest son looked up: "Father."

Zheng Weng looked at his sons, his grandchildren.

Apart from fear, their faces were full of uncontrollable excitement and longing.

They have acquired literary and martial arts, but they can't transfer them to the emperor's family. At this time, a new king suddenly appears, even if this king is extremely vicious, they can't wait to show what they have learned.

They don't care whether the new ruler is strong or weak, treacherous or evil, as long as it can make them develop their ambitions, nothing else matters.

Zheng Weng was defeated, he covered his eyes, and said with trembling lips: "I can't stop you, I'm old, Zihui."

The eldest son said hastily, "My son is here."

Zheng Weng didn't want to open his eyes to see his children and grandchildren again: "In the future, this family will be yours."

The eldest son froze in place, not even daring to say: "Son, a son is not as good as a father..."

Zheng Weng: "Don't talk too much! From now on, I don't care about this family anymore!"

"Whether we succeed or fail in the future, whether my Zheng family is the water of the passing away, or the tower of Zhenshan, it all depends on you."

The children of the Zheng family bowed their heads and bowed down.

The next day, the Zheng family dismissed the old servants, hired new servants, and returned the servants to the people.

In most aristocratic families, everyone is in danger.

There are also survivors with broken arms following the example of the Zheng family.

"Most of them are smart people." Song Shizhao smiled as he looked at the brochure Zhao Rong handed over.

The old servant was puzzled: "It's just about servants, why do they all look like their parents are dead?"

Song Shizhao smiled and shook his head: "You never use your brain."

The old servant poured him a glass of wine: "I don't understand what your lord is saying now."

At this time, Lin Yuan was instructing Luo Ben: "I sent you this time to tell you to take care of the establishment of the household. All servants and servants are my people."

Luo Ben promised: "What is said today is very true. Under the king, there should be no one who threatens the people into slavery."

Lin Yuan had a smile on his face: "I trust you sir."

Robben folded his hands and leaned over: "I should do my best."

"Go." Lin Yuan watched Robben leave.

Robben listened to the cries outside the government office.

The servants cried and cried, not wanting to be common people.

"My father, my mother, and my grandparents are all servants." The man cried bitterly, "I don't want to be a commoner!"

When people have to pay taxes, when they are slaves, the master's family provides food and housing. They don't have to worry about their livelihood or the future. After giving birth to children, the master's family will take care of them, and they will just work honestly.

But as ordinary people, they have to decide what to do.

Still have to pay taxes.

What kind of people?

Why do things that are not beneficial?

"Yeah! Me too, my family is all servants!" Someone shouted, "Please, my lord!"

Robben raised his head when he heard this, and said sarcastically, "If that's the case, drag him out, castrate him, and send him to the palace as a slave."

The people outside heard it and quickly shouted: "My lord! My mother has only one son! My lord!"

Robben looked at the people who kept knocking and crying outside the door, and said: "Being a slave or a handmaid is a last resort. Parents in the world hope that their children will grow up healthy and earn enough food with their hands and feet. It is ridiculous and lamentable that you are the sons and daughters of men, do not think about making progress, and are willing to be slaves."

"Today, I will show you a clear path. All the people in the world are the people of His Majesty, and the slaves of the world are only the slaves of Your Majesty. If you want to be a slave, you can go to the palace. There is also a way to ascend. Maybe he can honor his ancestors and become a famous eunuch with a long history?"

The people below did not dare to cry anymore.

They shrank their heads, lest they be caught and sent to the palace.

It's not that you can't survive, why bother cutting off the roots of your descendants?

A man is a man, and if he loses that thing, he is no different from a useless man.

"But who else wants to be a slave again?" Robben asked loudly.

No one spoke outside the door.

Within half a month, most of them had no more slaves.

It was not as difficult as they thought for the servants to obtain the money owed by the master's family and find another livelihood.

I have my own shelter from the wind and rain, and as long as I am willing to work, I can get paid. The days go by slowly, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a commoner.

The child was playing in the alley, holding a grass cricket in his hand, and ran into his yard on short legs, watching his father chop wood.

"Father, why do you have to chop so much firewood?" The child squatted aside.

The man smiled and said, "Boil more water today, we all take hot baths, I asked your second uncle to make a bathtub yesterday, and today will be fine."

The child jumped up excitedly: "Shall I wash it too?"

The man put down the ax and rubbed his son's head: "Of course."

The child chuckled and said, "It's better to move out. After moving out, we can take a hot bath."

When I was a servant in the past, where there was a hot bath, if I could get a basin of hot water and wipe my body perfunctorily, I would be considered lucky.

The man smiled. He was different from others. When someone asked them to leave the Lord's house, he didn't cry like others. He took his wife and children out by himself.

He didn't want his son to be like him, to be a slave all his life, to be a slave from generation to generation, and to be a slave to his children and grandchildren, never to have a bright future.

He has to work hard, send his son to school, so that his son doesn't have to be like him, and his son's son doesn't have to be like him.

"Go to your mother and see what delicious food she made for you today." The man patted his son's little butt.

The child jumped up and ran to the house to find his mother.

"Mom!" The child put his hands on the side of the stove, "What are you eating today?"

Woman: "Have sweet potato rice today, okay?"

The child nodded again and again: "Okay! Eat sweet potato rice!"

The woman said again: "And some side dishes, okay?"

The child smiled sweetly: "Okay! Everything mother cooks is delicious."

The woman leaned over and tugged at her son's face: "Look whose little mouth is covered with honey?"

The child laughed and threw himself into the woman's arms.

At the dinner table, the whole family ate sweet potato rice with wild vegetables, which was quite delicious. The woman said to her husband: "I heard that women can also work. If I can work, we can save money earlier and send money to the family. Big girl goes to read and read."

Da Niu is their son, who was born too early and was afraid that he would not be able to support him, so he took the baby name of Da Niu.

The husband said: "Don't go, I am going to join the army. The monthly salary of the army is more than that of you and me working, so I can save money earlier."

The woman's chopsticks stopped: "Join the army?"

The husband patted the head of the child who was working hard: "Don't be afraid, the military camp can go home to visit relatives every other month. Even if there is a war, only Haozhou and Anfeng are left. I may not fight, but I will go." , I won’t lose, your husband is in good health, and he has a heart, so he will definitely come back alive.”

The woman was afraid: "In war, the sword has no eyes. If you don't come back, the big girl and I will be orphans and widows. Anyone can bully us. I am a woman. What can I do then?"

The husband held his wife's hand: "I heard people say that the treatment in the military camp is very good. After retiring from the army, you can get money. The court also arranges work. If you are injured or disabled, you can get another sum of money. If you die on the battlefield , I am a martyr, and you and Da Niu are the family members of the martyrs."

"Families of martyrs, you can get a sum of money every month."

"It will still be taken care of by the court."

The woman burst into tears: "Do you have to go?"

The husband nodded: "I have made up my mind."

The woman wiped her tears with her hand: "I'll go and pack your things for you. I'll take good care of the big girl at home and serve my in-laws. You have to take care of yourself outside. Don't let me become a widow and let the big girl lose her father."

Husband: "I am lucky to have my wife in this life."

The woman showed an ugly smile, couldn't eat any more, and hid in the house.

Only the child raised his head: "Father, are you going to be a soldier?"

The husband smiled at the child: "Do you like it, big girl?"

The child doesn't know the cruelty of war, but only knows the prestige of being a soldier: "Father, will you be a general in the future?"

Husband: "Daddy will work hard."

The child said happily, "Then I am the general's son!"

Lin Yuan looked at the notebook that Roben had written, and after reading it, he walked up to Robben: "Would you like to be a doctor?"

Robben raised his head, and he knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

"I wish to be loyal to His Majesty, and I will not change it in this life."

This doctor is Lin Yuan's new position.

In the Song Dynasty, the doctors were the third rank, headed by Xuanfeng and Zhengfeng doctors.

As for Robben's doctor, he is a doctor of imperial history. From the second grade, he has the responsibility of asking and admonishing the government.

Lin Yuan helped Robben up after the salute, and said with a smile: "If you don't let me down, I will never let you down."
