The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shaodian Sishui entered the mine and stayed in several places secretly.

Hide unmarked gold ingots in salt mines.

Gold ingots are popular in every dynasty. In the world where women are superior, although deerskin coins and shell coins are common trading currencies, gold ingots are rare.

A small amount of gold can not only buy an official, but also buy a piece of fertile land, and even make a poor family rich and reach the peak of their lives.

Shao Chaogan was very confused. What on earth was the Sixth Prince going to do?

Such a precious gold ingot, she just buried it?

He also warned her to pretend that she didn't know there was gold here.

Forget it, she didn’t know what the Sixth Prince was going to do. Anyway, she just had to wait for the result.

When Shaodian Sishui had finished everything secretly, the two of them had just walked out of the mine when a group of middle-aged women, old women and elderly men wearing linen came outside.

There are young men too, but very few.

It was estimated that there were about forty people, which was much less than expected.

Everyone's expression was filled with burning madness, and they couldn't wait to sign and start mining.

But they didn't dare to move or speak nonsense because the person in charge had not arrived yet, so they had to wait.

If they offend a noble person, they won’t be able to earn so many shell coins in a month.

One premium shell coin per month, and one ordinary shell coin for daily excess. This is simply giving them money!

When the traveler came on horseback, the people heard the sound and automatically made way for him.

Youzi quickly dismounted with the contract in hand and walked towards Shaodian Sishui with a flattering look on his face.

"Sir, all the people who can come are here! Please check and see if the number is sufficient."

Shaodian Sishui glanced at the dark crowd, smiled and nodded.

"That's enough. Please sign and seal it."

She took out two bags of fine shell coins that she had prepared long ago and threw them on the stone table next to her.

"You will divide the shares. Those who sign and seal the agreement will each receive a fine shell coin. Work will begin at Mao time tomorrow. At Hai time every day, the amount mined that day will be weighed immediately. Those who exceed this amount will be recorded and the shell coins will be distributed on the same day."

"Good good!"

The traveler was very excited and shouted at the people around him while holding the contract.

"Line up, line up, everyone, line up in two lines, come and sign your name and get your money!"

Shaodian Sishui took a step back and walked to a recliner nearby and sat down, looking very relaxed and contented.

Shao Chaogan was full of confusion, but he could only watch as the Sixth Prince pampered this group of unruly people and gave them such good and favorable conditions.

If it were her, she would kill a group of troublemakers first!

People in the crowd began to line up consciously, no one dared to crowd, and they started with the oldest ones.

Of course, Youzi's family comes first, and they take it for granted.

You's mother signed excitedly and put her bloody fingerprint on the document.

When she took the exquisite shell coins given by her daughter, her eyes sparkled green!

"That's great, son, you really got it!"

Her good daughter, this is the first time she has accomplished something big, a great thing that benefits the people!

From now on, when they go out, everyone will look up to their family.

Youzi secretly winked at her mother, asking her to keep a low profile and take the money and stay aside.

The next one is right after that.

one by one.

At first, people were reluctant to believe it and thought it was fake.

However, when they signed and received the premium shell coins in advance, they could no longer suppress the excitement and greed on their faces.

The people who received the shell coins walked to the side and chatted in low voices with their heads down.

"Look, it really is paying first and then opening the mine!"

"I'm not dreaming, I really am not dreaming. I always thought that the nobles were making fun of us!"

"How is that possible? If you don't pay us first, we won't do it. It's such a simple thing, how can you make fun of us?"

"That's right. Anyway, we still have some surplus food at home. It was sold at a low price by Qusou and Dayu some time ago. It's enough to get through the winter. It doesn't matter whether we dig the mine or not. Since we are given extra shell coins and it's so good, let's do it. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

"Humph, we agreed before that we would work first and get paid later, but we didn't have a contract to prove it. Who knows if those nobles will go back on their word and not pay after a month or so? Now that we have a contract as proof, we don't have to worry about them going back on their word."

"That's right. If you dare not keep your word, we will go on strike!"

"Yes, we are not fools, we won't be fooled!"

"The previous amount was too small, only one shell coin. Our whole family worked hard together and could only mine the White Rock Salt Mine."

"Hahahaha, it's good now, only ten stones a day! That noble man is really a good person!"

"This time we are all thanks to Lady Youzi. If she hadn't stood up for us, we wouldn't have been able to get such a high salary. Please take some time to thank Lady Youzi."

"Well, that's true. I have to thank you very much."

"Ah, ah, ah, did you see that? That noble man looks so majestic and doesn't look like a fool, but why does he always do things that make him a fool?"

"Bullshit! You are very smart, don't talk nonsense. I heard that the people of Qu Suo and Dayu can eat cheap food and live comfortably through the winter. Why can't we, the people of the Great Zhou?"

Shaodian Sishui, lying on a recliner, had an indifferent expression on his face, and glanced with a smile in his eyes at the people who were whispering in the distance in front of him.

"Shhhhh, keep your voice down, the noble is looking over here."

Everyone quickly shut up, lowered their heads, and wrapped up the shell coins they had received.

No one concealed the greedy expression on their face, and every word they said was heard by Shaodian Sishui.

There is no need to observe carefully, just a quick glance can reveal the crazy greed in their eyes.

Shaodian Sishui took to heart what they said about Qu Suo and Dayu selling food at low prices, and thought about it secretly.

When will Qu Suo and Dayu be so kind as to sell food to the people of Da Zhou at low prices?

She did not write about this plot in the book. Although she wrote a power struggle novel for women, she developed the plot with men, interspersed power struggles with love, and there were very few descriptions of power struggles, but a lot of love affairs. To put it bluntly, it was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

At present, the power struggles are becoming more and more intense, and Shaodian Sishui is becoming more and more excited, even his face is twitching with excitement.

No matter how I listen to it, I feel like something is fishy and the conspiracy is quite big.

She stared at the ground without blinking, placed her thumb on her pearly teeth and nibbled them gently, thinking over the details of the conspiracy in her mind.

After connecting the details along the way and pondering them over and over again, she suddenly looked up at the people in the distance, with a murderous gleam in her eyes.

“Populism!”

When it comes to this scheming person, Shaodian Sishui only thinks of one person, Ji Xingchen!

First, he let Qu Suoren cry "stop thief" and kill people and plunder the property of the people of Da Zhou in the fertile land of Zhongaoyi.

He also sold food to the people of Beifa, making them mistakenly believe that Qu Su and Dayu were better than Da Zhou. He then took advantage of their greed to oppose the nobles and Da Zhou.

Not only did he use the Empress to eliminate Zhong Aoyi, but he also secretly subdued the unruly people in Beifa and rebelled against Shao? ?

No, that's not right!

Although this group of unruly people is under the jurisdiction of the Shao family, if the three noble families have not been eliminated, it is those three families that should be managed.

Shaodian Sishui, who was biting her thumb, paused, her fingertips trembling slightly, her eyes filled with madness, and she didn't even realize that she was bleeding from biting her thumb.

The empress is neither blind nor an idiot. If even she can think of it, how could she not think of it?

Yang, Nong and Lou were all her spies.

How could she allow these unruly people to rebel?

They are just ordinary people in a city. No matter how hard they jump, they can't escape from the palm of the Great Zhou.

Even if the people of this city were killed, what would be the harm? In this slave society, imperial power was supreme.

Then why did Ji Xingchen go to such great lengths to plan all this? She knew that he wanted the world.

And what does he want right now?
