After Liu Jia left, Zhao Feng looked at Li Ding again.
"Currently, the maids and servants in the Princess Mansion should have been bribed by Mrs. Liu, so they are completely untrustworthy, but there must be some maids and servants who were kicked out before."
"In the past few days, you can search around the area to see if there are any maids who came out of the princess's house before. If you can, spend money to buy one or two back!"
Hearing this, Li Ding nodded vigorously.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the maids and servants were also divided into three, six or nine grades. The better maids and servants were actually equivalent to an employment relationship and could be fired and dismissed.
However, poorer maids and servants can be sold into slavery. Such people are no longer free people, but are closely connected to the master's family.
Those maids and servants who have been dismissed will find it difficult to find a good family after they leave. Some may even choose to find someone to marry, or live alone.
After all, if you are fired, there is usually some problem. Even if there is no problem, no one will be willing to take over.
After letting Li Ding leave, Zhao Feng sat in front of his desk and couldn't help but think.
The most important thing now is to figure out their chain of interests, and then directly cut off this chain of interests. This will definitely cause some conflicts among the three of them, and this contradiction is the breakthrough.
If he wants to cut off this chain of interests, Zhao Feng must find their weak spot. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng suddenly smiled slightly and already had a killer idea in his heart.
It wasn't until midnight that when I came back to my senses, I realized that it was already dusk outside, and only the moon like a jade plate hung high in the sky, reflecting the earth as if it were daytime.
Zhao Feng opened the door and walked out in surprise. When he looked up, he remembered that today was the fifteenth day.
Looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh.
It has been several years since he came to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was originally a mountain villager in the village, and now he has been able to enter the court and have many properties of his own, but he feels that he is not as happy as before. .
Thinking like this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but chant softly.
"Look up at the bright moon, lower your head and miss your hometown!"
Zhao Feng leaned against the railing, wondering whether he was thinking about the small village in Zhao County or his true hometown in his previous life.
At this moment, there was a creak of the door being pushed open. Zhao Feng turned his head and looked with some confusion, only to find that Zhou Tong was actually wearing pajamas and only a coat outside and walked out.
"Your Highness, did I wake you up?"
Zhou Tong shook his head, walked to Zhao Feng's side, and looked up at the moon in the sky with Zhao Feng.
"I haven't fallen asleep yet. Mr. Zhao, are you still thinking about things during the day?"
Zhao Feng shook his head, looked at the moon in the sky and said.
"Your Highness Princess, maybe you are right. I have always been too successful before, so I need to experience some setbacks."
"But don't worry, Princess. I have figured out how to deal with them now."
Hearing this, Zhou Tong looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.
Seeing the confident expression on Zhao Feng's face, Zhou Tong suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Zhao, I have always thought you are a very powerful person, because you never give up when you encounter anything, but you want to do it well in your own way."
"So I believe you will be able to succeed!"
Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Tong in surprise, only to find that Zhou Tong was looking at him blankly, with a strange look in his eyes.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood something, so he said with some embarrassment.
"Your Highness Princess, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'm going back to sleep too."
After saying this, Zhao Feng bowed his hands to Zhou Tong before returning to his room.
Zhou Tong looked at Zhao Feng's back and couldn't help but open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Yes, what qualifications does she have to say those words?
Zhao Feng already has two wives, and her marriage may not be decided by her. Instead of saying it and causing trouble, it is better to let nature take its course. Even if there are regrets, it can only be attributed to fate.
Zhou Tong smiled bitterly, returned to his room and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep even though he tossed and turned.
The same is true for Zhao Feng here. I don't know when it was dawn, so Zhao Feng got up helplessly.
Although I didn’t sleep well last night, I still have to continue doing what I should do today.
"What? You said I would hand over the government's account books to you?"
"Are you kidding? You are only here temporarily in the princess's mansion, but you are just an outsider!"
Housekeeper Liu Po said this with her hands on her hips and jumping on her feet, but Zhao Feng waved his hands indifferently.
"You heard me clearly, it's not me who handles these account books, it's me who teaches the princess to handle these account books."
"You can't say that Her Highness the Princess is an outsider, right?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu turned to look at Zhou Tong and said as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Your Highness, please listen to what he said?"
"I have always taken care of this account book. If Your Highness, Princess, needs to do everything yourself, what's the use of servants like us?"
As Liu Po said this, she couldn't help but sarcastically say something.
"Ever since he came to the Princess's Mansion, this person has been picking on us, as if we are all people who want to harm Her Highness the Princess. Isn't it just a matter of making excuses?"
Mrs. Liu secretly looked at Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong stood firmly beside Zhao Feng this time.
"Steward Liu, I think Mr. Zhao is right. Even if I don't handle these account books, I still need to know how to read them. Besides, I will start my own business in the future."
"It's impossible to wait until you get married..."
Zhou Tong couldn't help but pause for a moment and glanced at Zhao Feng secretly. Seeing that Zhao Feng had no reaction, he continued.
"It's impossible to live on the salary my father gave me after I get married, right?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but opened her mouth. Seeing that Zhou Tong had made up her mind, she had to reluctantly hand over the account book.
Zhao Feng chuckled, took the account book and started flipping through it casually. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu immediately gritted her teeth.
However, Mrs. Liu only pretended to be angry on the surface, but she was not actually angry in her heart because the account book was completely false.
Even if Zhao Feng can manage this ledger, he can't possibly manage the money, right?
As long as he has no way to access the money in the house, then he has ten thousand ways to secretly take out the money in the house!
