The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 26 Picnic
Picnics are fun only when you do it yourself, if you let others do everything, it's better to stay at home comfortably!
Daiyu rested for a while before coming to her side, handing her fruits and asking: "Sister, since we want to reduce the rent for those farm households and villagers, why not reduce the rent more?
In this way, wouldn't they be more grateful to our Lin family? "

Jiusi sorted all the fruits in the basket, put them into plates according to category, then stuck a piece of fruit with a stick and stuffed it into Daiyu's mouth: "You must know that people's hearts are insufficient and greedy. , if you have a little, you will feel very satisfied, but if you have a lot, you will want more.

Just like I reduced the rent for them, I reduced the rent of farmers by [-]% and the rent of villagers by [-]%. They will feel very pleasantly surprised and grateful.

When I reduce their rent by [-]% on this basis, they will think that I am a great kind person. Compared with other hosts, I am simply a good person who cannot be better.

But if I reduce their rent by only [-] to [-]%, they will still think that I am a good person, but they will also regard me as a weak person who is easy to bully, and even call me a big man behind my back. Do you believe me, idiot?
If there is a disaster in Zhuangzi one day, and they want to raise those renters to [-]% again, they will feel resentful and feel that I am hypocritical. What I did before was just a show, and they will not be grateful at all. Meaning, this is the human heart. "

Daiyu nodded half-understanding, and then asked: "Then why do servants and farm households raise poultry and adopt their poultry?

We don't lack food and drink on weekdays. I don't like meat and meat, and you have to keep your filial piety, sister. You don't need so many poultry at all! "

Jiu Si took the skewers skewered by the maids and put them on the grill, staring at the skewers while explaining to her: "Those servants and farmers signed a contract with us, why are they willing to put down their dignity and go to the grill?" Is selling one's body just to live a lower level than others?

Of course not, they want to survive better, even in times of famine, our family can afford food and drink for them.

If they are like villagers who have not signed the contract, with only [-]% of the income but no freedom, they will feel dissatisfied after a long time, so I added a rule that they can raise poultry so that they can get more Benefit. "

Speaking of this, she reached out her hand and nodded hers, and said: "Furthermore, whoever said that the poultry you bought must be eaten by yourself, our family also has a food shop, and the poultry collected will be eaten at that time." Just put it in the shop and sell it, whether it is made into soup, made into other dishes, or braised to eat, it is suitable.

You enjoyed eating the stewed vegetables they made in March that day, I was afraid that the poultry collected would not be enough for you to eat. "

Daiyu glared at her reproachfully, and the freshly squeezed juice that was supposed to be handed to her mouth was turned into her hand: "Sister used to make fun of me, hum!
Although what my sister said was somewhat reasonable, wouldn't the villagers be dissatisfied with this? "

No matter how the juice got into his hands, Jiu Sicai took a sip of the juice, let out a long breath of satisfaction, then shook his head with a smile, and said: "There is no fairness in this world, the farmers Everything they have is obtained by sacrificing their dignity and freedom. If the villagers are dissatisfied, they can also sell themselves like them. I will definitely not refuse.

But... I'm afraid that when that day comes, they will definitely be willing. Selling one's body is not as important as changing the future of the family.

Alright, don't worry about these things, go and fly your kite, and I'll call you when the skewers are ready. "

"Alright then, thank you sister!"

"August, hurry up, take the paper kite my sister drew for me, let's go put the paper kite..."

"Hey, servant girl is here."

Daiyu didn't like to deal with these mundane things at first, and Jiusi forced her to learn how to manage family affairs, otherwise she wouldn't bother to care about them. Her favorite thing is poetry books.

The reason why I asked so many questions just now was just a little curiosity.

As soon as she heard that it was ready to play, she called August and ran to the open space on the other side.

Looking at her carefree smiling face, Jiusi shook his head helplessly, and then continued to busy himself with the matter in hand.

How can a child who has been pampered and raised understand how difficult life is for the lower class?

In their eyes, not getting a gadget they like, or being reprimanded by the elders in the family is already a big grievance, and how do they know that some people have tried their best to survive all power.

No matter in what era, there are such a group of little people who are trying to survive, but those who stand on high ground cannot see it.

But in this feudal era, their servants live more humble and lowly lives, just like those poultry. As long as the owner says a word, they will live if they want to live, and they will die if they want to die. It is basically a tradeable job. It's just goods, how can there be any dignity at all!
This time they just met her. If they had changed to another buyer, let alone the day of redemption, or the day when the child was allowed to study, they would have died without knowing how.

You must know that some masters will find excuses to sell them on the first day they come, and some stewards will even be beaten to death. This is the reality.

Her ability is limited, she can't change this social phenomenon, only the people around her can be changed, and all she can do is protect the people she wants to protect.

If you are lucky, you may be able to cultivate Daiyu into a famous female master and make her one of the representatives of inspirational women. That will be her greatest achievement in this era.

But in the end it still depends on Daiyu's choice. If she chooses to marry and live a normal life, then she will find a way to pave the way ahead of her and protect her through this life.

Life is a choice again and again. How to choose depends on each person's will, and no one can force it.

The breeze blew slowly, and Daiyu's silver-bell-like laughter came. Jiusi looked up subconsciously, and saw a beautiful girl holding a colorful paper kite, shining brightly under the sunlight.

Jiusi handed over the skewers to Sanyue, washed his hands, took out the white paper and charcoal pens he had prepared in advance, and began to draw quickly with his head down.

In a short while, the beautiful scenery of autumn was fixed in it.

Si Yue glanced curiously, and saw that the painting was exactly the scene of Daiyu releasing paper kites, and not far from her, they were busy, looking very warm and harmonious.

She looked at it, and suddenly said: "The girl's painting skills are really good. Although this painting has only one color, it is just like the real one. Why don't you draw two more pictures, and when you write to Yangzhou , take it to the master to have a look together, presumably the master will be very happy in his heart."
