The Great Idle Person of the Zhenguan Era.
Chapter 20: New Nobility of the Landlord. [21]
Summary
The Princess's mansion was completed at a rapid pace with thousands of workers laboring day and night. In just a few days, the outline of a majestic and grandiose mansion began to take shape. The villagers were filled with curiosity and discovered that the officials and guards overseeing the project were friendly and welcoming. Not only did they not chase the villagers away, but the officials even initiated conversations with them. The construction of the Princess's mansion accelerated, and the embryonic form of the mansion took shape in just half a month. A month later, the Princess's mansion was completed, and a procession of over a hundred Golden Armor Guards escorted a golden sedan chair into the village and entered the Princess's mansion. The villagers rejoiced, and young men from the village could earn extra grain by working on the site, earning three copper coins or two kilograms of millet per day. Li Su, who lived in the village, created a toothbrush using pig bristles and fish glue. He was proud of his creation and displayed it to the Wang brothers. However, Wang Zuan put the toothbrush in his mouth and began moving it back and forth, which made Li Su angry. The imperial court rewarded the Li Family with twenty acres of land, but relying on just the two of them to manage it was a daunting task. During the spring planting season, Li Dao Zheng and Li Su worked tirelessly for three days and three nights, almost collapsing from exhaustion. They decided to hire laborers to help with the spring planting. Princess Dong Yang became the largest landowner in Taiping Village, and a hundred households in the village became her tenants. The new landlady was polite and didn't put on any airs, taking three days to settle the internal affairs of the princess's mansion. Then, Princess Dong Yang personally visited several elderly and respected villagers, following the proper etiquette.Full content
