Chapter 404: Teach Everyone to Be Good People (Part 3)

Mu Nanjin was puzzled when she saw the atmosphere become quiet.

[Hey, why is it quiet? ]

[Did something happen? ]

Everyone in the yard looked around in horror, and when they saw Mu Nanjin wearing a red flying fish robe, their faces suddenly changed.

"It's the Duke."

"The Duke is here."

"Greetings, Duke."

The young people in the yard saluted Mu Nanjin.

Although they were royal nobles, they did not inherit the title. Even if they had official positions, their ranks were not as high as Mu Nanjin's. They could not use their elders to pressure others, so they could only salute obediently.

Moreover, the emperor gave her a lot of power, and they would not be stupid enough to bump into her.

[It turned out that they found me coming. ]

Mu Nanjin said: "Just pretend I don't exist, and continue to play."

No one dared to gamble in front of her.

"No more, no more."

"We only have fun occasionally, not often."

"Sir, please sit down."

Someone quickly brought a chair out of the house and put it behind Mu Nanjin, while others served tea and fruit cakes.

"I didn't know you were coming, so I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please don't blame me."

Mu Nanjin said, "No."

[I had a lot of fun myself. If I blame you, isn't it the same as blaming myself? ]

[The most important thing is that I also made three thousand silver coins, hehe. ]

Everyone was ashamed.

Someone asked cautiously, "I don't know why you came to the Imperial Clan Mansion?"

Mu Nanjin sat down, then took the teacup and drank a sip of tea and said, "If I say I just came here to take a look, you won't believe it."

Everyone: "..."

I really don't believe it.

[Alas, I really just came here to take a look. I want to see how the Imperial Clan Mansion is different from other government offices. 】

【After all, this is a place that the royal family members are afraid of, so they came here to see how majestic it is. 】

【The result really disappointed me. This place is not much different from the casino hidden in the alley. 】

Everyone: "..."

Mu Nanjin said: "Since everyone thinks I came here for a purpose, I would be sorry if I don't cause some trouble."

Everyone hurriedly said: "We believe in the Duke."

Mu Nanjin: "It's too late."

Everyone: "..."

"Today I will teach you to be good people." Mu Nanjin said: "Is Liang Yunbin here?"

No one responded.

But everyone quietly looked in a certain direction.

"Not here? It doesn't matter if he's not here. Tell him that the rent for his land is too expensive. The farmers who rent your land can't afford it. Starting from next month, you need to reduce the rent by half. Also, if others don't want to rent your land, you can't force them."

Liang Yunbin, who was hiding in the crowd, finally couldn't help but walk out and said: "Duke, aren't you meddling too much? You have to manage other people's rent collection. If you have nothing to do, you can lead troops to fight and conquer other medium-sized countries."

Mu Nanjin glanced at him indifferently: "The emperor made me the Duke of Zhenguo just because I hope I can make the country stable, but if you want the country to be stable, you must have peace and prosperity. Now the country is relatively peaceful, but most people are not living well, especially those who are oppressed by the imperial power and official power, who are like living in dire straits. Do you think I should care about it? "

"What does it have to do with me whether they live well or not? Do I have to control their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating? It's because they will not be reborn into a humble family, who can blame them?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "That makes sense."

Liang Yunbin snorted, with a little pride in his eyes.

Mu Nanjin said: "I will tell the emperor what you said when I go to the palace. If the emperor removes your royal status and confiscates all your land, then you can only blame yourself for not caring about the people, not anyone else."

Everyone: "..."

Liang Yunbin was furious: "Mu Nanjin, you are just a Duke of Zhenguo, you have no power to manage our royal family's affairs."

Mu Nanjin slapped the imperial sword from time to time: "When you are stripped of your royal status, you will know whether I have the power or not."

"You..."

Liang Yunbin was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by the royal relatives around him.

The other party lowered his voice and whispered: "Just say less. If she really goes to the emperor to complain, the emperor who cares about the people may really confiscate your land and remove your royal name. Then it will be more trouble than gain."

Liang Yunbin was a little scared when he heard him say that. He suppressed his anger and turned his head away: "After I go back, I will sort out the land rent issue and will no longer force farmers to rent my land."

"I hope to get good news next month." Mu Nanjin said again: "Is Liang Shengzhen here?"

Liang Shengzhen walked out quickly: "I'm here."

"Every time you buy goods from the people, you don't give them money on the grounds of credit. When you leave here, settle all the accounts."

"Yes." Liang Shengzhen agreed very readily: "I'll go settle the accounts now."

He ran out of the yard and saw the Jinyiwei standing outside the door. He was shocked. He saluted Liu Qianhu and others and left in a hurry.

Liu Qianhu sighed: "Mu Nanjin just said a few words and scared people so much that they even forgot that their official rank was higher than mine."

It's really funny that a high-ranking official bows to a lower-ranking person.

In the courtyard, Mu Nanjin called again: "Liang Zucai."

Liang Zucai felt that he had done nothing wrong and walked out with a swagger: "Duke, except for gambling, I have never done anything to hurt the people."

"You sold your wife's dowry and deducted the monthly salary of your servants for gambling. Isn't this considered hurting the people?"

Liang Zucai's face sank: "Duke, you won't even take care of my family affairs, right?"

"I'm not taking care of your family affairs, I'm taking care of the people. Your servants and your wife are not the people?"

Liang Zucai: "… …”

“Small gambling is good for your mood, big gambling is harmful to your health, and nine out of ten people will lose. It’s hard to get you to quit gambling, so I decided to throw you to the military camp for some training.”

Liang Zucai said anxiously: “I am a third-rank official and the legitimate son of Prince Qi. You are not qualified to arrange my place.”

Mu Nanjin ignored him: “Come here.”

Captain Liu walked in with his men: “Duke.”

“Send Liang Zucai to the military camp outside the city. Don’t let him out without my order.”

“Yes.”

Captain Liu ordered two centurions to escort Liang Zucai.

Liang Zucai shouted anxiously: “Let me go, I am the son of Prince Qi. If you dare to do this to me, I will ask my father to report to the emperor and confiscate your house.”

The two centurions ignored his shouting and dragged people out of the yard.

“Cousin, save me, come and save me.”

Liang Zucai asked his cousin for help, but his cousin was shrinking in the corner and dared not show up.

Mu Nanjin's eyes returned to the group of second-generation rich people, and they shrank their necks.

After that, everyone was taught by Mu Nanjin to be a good person.

With the previous examples, no one dared to disobey her.

Finally, Mu Nanjin stood up and said, "Next, let's continue gambling."

[I will win all the money on them before letting them go, hehe. 】

Everyone: "..."
