Chapter 223 Land Acquisition
Butler Hong hurried forward and said loudly:
"Princess Renshan knows that everyone is forced into this situation. Since the Emperor has given you to the Prince, you are his people.
But the prince feels sorry for you and is willing to let you go. If you want to leave, the palace will never force you to stay. You will be free today.
If you want to leave now, please stand up immediately. The princess promises that she will not only return the indenture contract to you, but also give you money to go back.
But if you don't come out after today, you will hand your life over to the palace. From now on, whether you live or die, you will belong to the palace. You are not allowed to talk about the palace's affairs anymore!
I'll give you a quarter of an hour now, and no one will be allowed after that."
When the people below heard this, their eyes rolled around, and more than a dozen people had their own thoughts.
Someone timidly asked, "Will the princess promise not to blame us?"
"Princess, you are so merciful. I said I won't blame you, and that means I won't blame you. You still have half a cup of tea. Once today passes, you will never be able to leave the palace again, except for death!"
When everyone thought of the murderous look in Prince Liang's eyes and the torture that day, they all shouted that they wanted to leave.
They figured it out. Even if they couldn't return to the capital, with their abilities, they would definitely be freer than in the palace.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the people below who were clamoring to leave, and nodded to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper took a notebook and recorded everyone's name.
He then took out two documents and asked them to sign them.
The general content is that leaving the palace is purely voluntary, and the person leaving the palace will be given a contract of sale and 20 taels of silver.
The content is clear and the facts are clear.
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who were brave enough signed their names and pressed their fingerprints first.
Sure enough, someone gave him his indenture and 20 taels of silver as a gift.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw this and lined up obediently waiting to leave the house.
After those who were about to leave received the money and the indenture contracts, they all cried and thanked Xie Shuangbai, and finally they happily took the money and the indenture contracts and left.
In the end, only a few of the sixteen were left.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the three remaining people in the yard.
Their faces were pale and weak, as if they could not stand, and I understood why they did not leave.
I probably won’t survive if I go out in this state, and I’ll even stutter in the palace.
Xie Shuangbai pointed at the three people and ordered:
"Get them a doctor."
The frightened man has been restrained. The doctor gave him an injection and he is now stable.
Another person, Xie Shuangbai, was also seen. Even when he was sick, he was still very handsome. He could be said to be the most representative of the group.
He looked at the weeping servant beside him and asked, "What's your son's name?"
Seeing that Xie Shuangbai didn't look like a bad person, the young attendant whispered back, "Princess, everyone in the capital calls my son Qingfeng."
Xie Shuangbai murmured, "Master Qingfeng!"
She is indeed good-looking.
"You take good care of them."
"It's the princess."
Seeing that it was almost noon, Xie Shuangbai walked to the gate of the courtyard, looked inside and said to the housekeeper, "Let's move to a better courtyard after the people wake up."
The butler replied respectfully, "Yes, Princess."
When Rong Ye finished his work and returned home, he didn't see Xie Shuangbai. When he asked, he found out that the group was causing trouble again.
It should have been chopped off right away, and now it's still tiring his baby.
Rong Ye sat with his eyes closed. When he heard footsteps, he knew he was back.
Xie Shuangbai felt that being the head of the household was not easy. He felt tired just by dealing with some difficult matters occasionally. It seemed that the head wives of households in ancient times had a lot of things to do every day.
Rong Ye saw that he could be in a daze even when walking, and shouted, "Are you back?"
Xie Shuangbai was delighted when he saw Rong Ye: "Are you done?"
Rong Ye touched his face and said, "How can you be so busy? I didn't see you when I came back. I heard they made trouble again?"
"No, I just dismissed a lot of people. Now there are only a few sick ones. You don't have to worry about them causing trouble now."
"If it weren't for you, they would have died long ago and wouldn't have to bother you with all this trouble."
"There's not much going on at home, but you, I haven't seen you since I got up these past two days. What have you been busy with?"
"The elder has replied. He told me not to report it to the court, but to issue the notice myself and let the people spread it spontaneously."
Xie Shuangbai understood immediately: "Gao, this way the emperor can't do anything to you. You can win the hearts of the people and make him lose face at the same time."
"I will send out a notice tomorrow."
"I only have one request. Don't mention me, and don't mention Youranju either."
Rong Ye was about to ask why, but then he thought about his safety and decided not to say it.
"Okay, but many people already knew about Tofu, so it's inevitable that some have already guessed it was Youranju, and some may even think that Youranju has joined forces with me."
"As long as they don't have evidence, they can't harm me. Besides, it won't do me any harm. With such a big backer like the prince, I have to rely on him!"
Rong Ye embraced him, and rubbed him with his big hands with ill intentions: "Lean on him as you like, any way you want!"
"Go away, you're being a hooligan again. I want to tell you something serious. We need to plant our seeds. Spring is coming soon."
"How do you want to plant it?"
"I had planned to ask Uncle Wang and the others to plant the crops, but after this incident, all plans were disrupted. The palace has a lot of land, so we should plant peppers, sesame, peanuts, cotton, and corn first. These will all be used."
"As for tomatoes, they can only be grown in the greenhouse, while radishes and sunflowers can be grown in the palace."
"Okay, I'll call Rong Yi and the housekeeper later and leave these to them. Don't get too tired."
"I'm just moving my mouth. How can I be tired? Let's eat first. I allow you to eat more today so that you can have the strength to work for me in the afternoon."
Rong Ye smiled and said, "As you wish!"
After lunch, Xie Shuangbai asked everyone to go out and said he wanted to take a nap.
He pulled Rongye into the inner room and said, "Let's go inside and collect the seeds first."
"Are you feeling well?"
"It's okay to be alone, just close your eyes."
When he opened his eyes again, Rongye and the others were already in the field of space.
They hadn't been here for a while. Xie Shuangbai looked at the vegetables growing well in the space and sighed:
"Wow, it's growing so well, it's even producing seeds!"
Rong Ye was also delighted. Anyone who saw this scene of abundant harvest would smile. He sighed:
"If only the land in Dayin could be so fertile."
"I will refine some more spiritual spring beads and add them to the nearby well water. This will probably have some effect."
Rong Ye looked at his thin body and said worriedly, "Just let it go. I don't want you to be too tired."
"This isn't tiring for me, it's you who's going to be tired now!"
He went to get sacks, shovels, gloves, and a series of tools needed for farming.
He had someone do this and put it away when no one was around, so Rong Ye wouldn't have to work with his bare hands in the future.
He pointed to a large area of land in front of him and ordered, "Your Majesty, please collect all of this."
Rong Ye took off his coat and took his tools. He smiled at Xie Shuangbai, "As you command, my lady!"
