Chapter 572 lack of heart
Lin Xuan watched those stewards carrying the copper coins out, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you reward them?"
He couldn't understand Li Lizhi's operation.
Even if there is no evidence now, you should beat them, why should you give them money.
Li Lizhi smiled slightly: "My husband is not surprised, why did I reward them with money, but didn't tell them how much each of them got?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and said, "Are you trying to use the money to make them distribute the spoils unevenly and cause internal chaos?"
"No, if that's the case, twenty guan is a bit less."
Soon Lin Xuan denied that speculation.
Twenty pennies is a lot of money for ordinary people, but those managers have been in the Lin family for so long, there must be a lot of corruption.
In addition, those people must have to pretend to give some to the people below, and the remaining few people don't get much at all, so the possibility of arguing over this little money is not high.
Li Lizhi nodded, then shook her head again, and said: "These people must think that I am a princess pampered and pampered. They will not take care of these inner house affairs, but only use this method to win people's hearts. If I do this, they will feel at ease. Although the twenty pennies are not much, they are also a lot. They feel that I am not a threat, and I have not clearly stated how to distribute them. They will definitely be greedy. It will take time to find out the previous evidence. I will do this. They're going to give it a go soon."
Lin Xuan suddenly realized that this is the legendary "Fishing Law Enforcement".
First show the enemy weak, and then give them a chance to be greedy.
Those in charge who dare to embezzle, naturally do it secretly. If you want to check it, you can definitely find it out, but it will take time.
What Li Lizhi wanted was for the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves and quickly solve those management problems.
Those stewards are also servants, it is very easy for the master to touch them, all Li Lizhi needs is an excuse.
After taking them down, what they did before will naturally come to light.
"You're still a smart lady." Lin Xuan praised.
He also fell into a misunderstanding before and wanted to find evidence.
But why seek evidence?
These people are servants, as long as they are not beaten to death, the government will not care.
As long as you find a reason, you won't let the other servants panic, and you don't want to clean it up casually.
Li Lizhi said with some anxiety: "Does my husband think that my concubine is too scheming?"
"How come, this big family, how can we manage it without some tricks?"
Lin Xuan scoffed at what many people said they liked the simple ones.
The so-called purely using the flowers of later generations is silly and sweet.
The reason why I like it is nothing more than that I feel cheated.
Scheming is not a derogatory term, as long as you don't play tricks.
……
Several stewards carried the money and came directly to the place where Qian Nan lived.
"Princesses let us divide it up, how do you think we should divide it?" Luo Peng said with narrowed eyes.
At this time, he completely lost the honesty he had in front of Li Lizhi just now.
"Why don't you divide the money according to the princess' wishes. After all, this is the first time the princess has given out a reward. I don't know the princess's temper now. If she moves, the princess will be furious, and it will be troublesome."
The person who spoke was named Sun Laixi, and he was an old man from the Lin family.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't hang out with these people, but he owed debts because of gambling, and in order to pay off the debts, he corrupted some money and was caught by Luo Peng and the others.
Finally had to go with them.
Sun Laixi still has a lot of affection for the Lin family, and he doesn't want to do these things in his heart.
Luo Peng smiled and said: "I don't know the princess's temperament, but the princess is the emperor's daughter, she is extremely noble, how can she understand these things below, the princess rewards us, nothing more than to win us over, isn't that what the emperor does? what?"
There is a story that goes like this, two farmers gossip.
A civilian husband said: "The emperor doesn't know what kind of life to live."
Another farmer imagined: "It must be steamed buns made of white flour every day, and gold hoes are used to hoe the ground."
This is just a joke, but it also shows from the side that ordinary people don't understand high society at all.
Luo Peng's words aroused the approval of many people. After all, how could the emperor's daughter learn to manage housework.
"What does Brother Luo mean?" Qian Nan asked.
Luo Peng narrowed his eyes and said, "We each have two coins, and the rest will be distributed to other people. They will be very happy if they are rewarded. Although the two coins are not much, they are enough for us to drink."
The two pieces of money are enough for the family to live affluently for half a year. In Luo Peng's eyes, they are only enough for a drink, which shows that they have a lot of corruption.
"Isn't that good? Why don't we take half of it?" Sun Laixi said.
A total of twenty puns, one of them has two puns, leaving four puns.
A hundred or ten people are divided into dozens of pennies per person.
Luo Peng waved his hand and said: "Who will tell the princess how much money is divided? Besides, since the princess didn't say how to divide, she is giving us benefits in disguise. How can I live up to the princess' kindness?"
"Have you forgotten the guards who stood at the door just now? Usually no one is standing guard in the hall, not to mention even the two deputy commanders are here. It's hard to guarantee that the princess won't give us another blow." Sun Laixi said.
"This…"
For a moment, Qian Nan and the others looked at each other, and Sun Laixi's words were not without reason.
If Li Lizhi was trying to show them off and make them restrain themselves, then messing around at this time was undoubtedly courting death.
Seeing that everyone was moved by Sun Laixi's words, Luo Peng quickly said: "Everyone, I heard that those nobles like to give us both kindness and power. The princess did this to show us off, but it was not because she noticed what we did. I just wanted to Let us not dare to underestimate her."
He used to work in a big family because his hands and feet were not clean, 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 be the steward in charge of kitchen purchases.
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, and in order to survive, he sold himself as a slave.
If you become a slave, your children will also be slaves.
In the future, the descendants and grandchildren will also be slaves.
Naturally, Luo Peng was not reconciled, and secretly found a woman outside and gave birth to a son, which was recorded under his elder 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.
Even if it is the two sets of money, he is not willing to let go.
Add some more, enough to buy an acre of land.
When Qian Nan and the others heard Luo Peng's words, the hesitation in their eyes faded away. After all, two pennies are still very attractive.
Sun Laixi wanted to say something more, but Luo Peng gave him a threatening look.
At the beginning, Sun Laixi was secretly greedy for ink, and it was discovered by Luo Peng, so he was very afraid of Luo Peng. Now seeing the threat in Luo Peng's eyes, he didn't dare to speak.
No one objected, and the next thing was simple.
Several people divided the money one by one, and then divided the remaining money according to the number of people under management, and then left with the money.
Sun Laixi and everyone left the house where Qian Nan lived.
Because they each manage different areas, it didn't take long for everyone to separate.
There was a flash of struggle in Sun Laixi's eyes, and after a while, his eyes became firm, and he turned around and walked away with the money in hand.
