Chapter five hundred and sixtieth IX Insufficient hearts
Lin Xuan watched the stewards carrying the copper coins out and couldn't help but ask: "Why give them rewards?"
He couldn't understand Li Lizhi's operation.
Even if there is no evidence now, we should beat them and why should we give them reward.
Li Lizhi smiled slightly: "Husband, aren't you surprised why I rewarded them but didn't tell them how much each person got?"
Lin Xuan was stunned and said: "Do you want to use this money to make them share the spoils unevenly and cause internal chaos?"
"No, if that's the case, twenty strings is a bit too little."
Lin Xuan soon denied that speculation.
Twenty guan is a lot of money for ordinary people, but those managers who have been in the Lin family for such a long time must have done a lot of corruption.
In addition, those people must make a show of giving some to the people below, and the remaining few people will not get much at all, so the possibility of quarreling over this little money is not high.
Li Lizhi nodded, shook her head, and said: "These people must think that I am a pampered princess, and I will not take care of the affairs of the inner house. I will only use this method to win people's hearts. If I do this, they will feel at ease.
Although the twenty dollars is not much, it is still a lot. They feel that I am not a threat, and since I have not clearly stated how to distribute it, they will definitely be greedy. It will take time to investigate the previous evidence. I will do this.
They'll find out soon enough."
Lin Xuan suddenly realized that this was the legendary "fishing law enforcement".
First, show the enemy weakness, and then give them the opportunity to be greedy.
Those in charge who dare to commit corruption naturally do it secretly. If you want to investigate, you can definitely find out, but it will take time.
What Li Lizhi wants is for the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves and quickly solve the administrative problems.
Those stewards were also slaves. It was very easy for the master to touch them. All Li Lizhi needed was an excuse.
Once they are captured, what was done before will naturally come to light.
"My wife is still smart." Lin Xuan praised.
He had fallen into a misunderstanding before and wanted to find evidence.
But why look for evidence?
These people are slaves. As long as they are not beaten to death, the government will not care about them.
As long as you find a reason that won't make other servants panic, you can't just deal with it casually.
Li Lizhi said with some anxiety: "Does your husband think that I am too scheming?"
"How could it be possible? How can we manage this big family without some tricks?"
Many people said that they like simplicity, but Lin Xuan scoffed at this.
The so-called flowers in later generations are simply silly and sweet.
The reason why I like it is just because I think it's easy to cheat.
Scheming is not a derogatory term, as long as you don't play scheming.
…
Several stewards carried the money directly to where Qian Nan lived.
"Princesses, let us divide it among ourselves, how do you think it should be divided?" Luo Peng said with squinted eyes.
At this time, he completely lost the honesty and honesty he had just in front of Li Lizhi.
"Why don't we divide the money according to the princess' wishes. After all, this is the first reward given by the princess. We don't know the princess's temper now. If we make any move and make the princess angry, we will be in trouble."
The speaker's name was Sun Laixi, who turned out to be an old man from the Lin family.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't hang out with these people, but he was in debt due to gambling before. In order to repay the debt, he embezzled some money, and Luo Peng and the others caught him.
In the end, I had to join them.
Sun Laixi still has great feelings for the Lin family and is unwilling to do these things.
Luo Peng said with a smile: "I don't know the princess's temperament, but the princess is the daughter of the emperor and is extremely noble. How can she understand these things? The princess gives us rewards just to win over us. Isn't that what the emperor does all the time?
What?"
There is a story about two farmers chatting.
A common man said: "The emperor doesn't know what kind of life he leads."
Another farmer imagined: "It must be white flour steamed buns every day, and all the tools used for hoeing are gold hoes."
This is just a joke, but it also shows from the side that ordinary people have no understanding of the upper class society.
Luo Peng's words aroused the approval of many people. After all, how could the emperor's daughter learn to manage household chores?
"What does Brother Luo mean?" Qian Nan asked.
Luo Peng squinted his eyes and said: "We will give each of us two guan of money, and the rest will be distributed to the other people. They will be very happy when they receive the reward. Although the two guan of money is not much, it is enough for us to have a drink."
The two sums of money are enough for the family to live a prosperous life for half a year. In Luo Peng's eyes, it is only enough for a drink, which shows that they have committed a lot of corruption.
"Isn't this bad? Why don't we take half of it?" Sun Laixi said.
There are twenty strings in total, and each of them has two strings, leaving only four strings.
One hundred and ten people would only be worth a few dozen coins each.
Luo Peng waved his hand and said: "Who will tell the princess how much money will be divided? Besides, since the princess didn't say how to divide it, she is giving us benefits in disguise. How can we live up to the princess's kindness?"
"Have you forgotten the soldiers who were standing at the door just now? No one is usually standing guard in the hall, let alone the two deputy commanders. There is no guarantee that the princess will not show off to us again." Sun Laixi said.
"this…"
For a moment, Qian Nan and others looked at each other in confusion. Sun Laixi's words made sense.
If Li Lizhi was trying to intimidate them and make them restrain themselves, then acting recklessly at this time would undoubtedly be courting death.
Seeing that everyone had been persuaded by Sun Laixi, Luo Peng quickly said: "Everyone, I heard that those noble people like to show kindness and power at the same time. The princess did this to give us power, but it was not because she noticed what we did. I just wanted to
Let us not dare to despise her."
He used to work for a wealthy family because his hands and feet were dirty, so he was betrayed by the owner.
Later, when he arrived at the Lin family, he was very honest at first, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the manager in charge of kitchen purchasing.
But Luo Peng has an unknown secret. He has an illegitimate child outside.
Luo Peng was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. In order to survive, he sold himself into slavery.
Once you are a slave, your children will also be slaves.
From now on, his descendants will also be slaves.
Luo Peng was naturally unwilling to give in, so he secretly found a woman outside and gave birth to a son, who was named in his eldest brother's name.
He has nothing else to ask for now, he just wants to get more money for his son and buy some property.
He was not willing to let go of even these two sums of money.
If you add some more, it will be enough to buy an acre of land.
When Qian Nan and others heard Luo Peng's words, the hesitation in their eyes faded away. After all, two pieces of money are still very attractive.
Sun Laixi wanted to say something more, but Luo Peng gave him a threatening look.
Sun Laixi was discovered by Luo Peng when he was secretly greedy for ink, so he was very afraid of Luo Peng. When he saw the threat in Luo Peng's eyes, he suddenly did not dare to speak.
No one objects, and the rest will be simple.
Several people divided the money one by one, and then divided the remaining money according to the number of people in charge, and then each left with the money.
Sun Laixi and everyone left the house where Qian Nan lived.
Because they each managed different areas, everyone separated soon.
A trace of struggle flashed in Sun Laixi's eyes. After a while, his eyes became firm, he picked up the money, turned around and left.
