Quickly wear it and get rid of his virtuous character

Su Tong first put a recovery pill into his mouth. After he felt better, he asked the servant to come in and help him dress and wash.

Ancient times were not a place that emphasizes law and morality like modern times. I was so rich, but the key was that I had few offspring. In the eyes of others, I was a piece of gold.

The people in the family are also unreliable. They are all eyeing the little money in his hands. If it weren't for the original owner's great means, this little money would have been taken away by the family members long ago. For example, during the time when he was sick, the patriarch had come to him several times, and had asked him to adopt a son in both open and covert ways.

The original owner had no plans to get married, or even have other children, and the servants around him were like rootless duckweed. After all, their masters might go to see the King of Hell at any time, so they naturally tried every means to find a way to survive.

Su Tong found a housekeeper. He could distrust everyone else, but the old housekeeper was different.

The other party has followed their Su family for generations and is the most loyal.

Su Tong was going to release a large number of people under the pretext of observing mourning. Not only would he give them a good citizenship, he would even give each of them another twenty taels of silver.

The housekeeper's expression changed slightly, "Master, I'm afraid some people are unwilling to leave the Su family."

Perhaps from the perspective of modern people, freedom is the most important thing, but this is ancient times. Ordinary people in ancient times were the most miserable. If they experienced a little natural disaster or man-made disaster, they would sell their children and have no food to eat.

But if you sell yourself to a wealthy family, especially if you meet a kind master, you can not only have enough food to eat, but also have new clothes to wear, and even get money. Your life is much better than that of an ordinary farmer. You ask what to do if there is no human rights?

What does human rights mean to a group of hungry people? Only bread is the most important thing.

Su Tong didn't know who the people were with ulterior motives, so he simply let them go. Besides, what he was doing was a good thing, and even if it got out, it would definitely leave a good reputation.

"Don't worry about it. If it doesn't work, just kick him out."

Seeing the master's resolute look, the butler nodded and said, "Then let's let one third of the people go this time."

Su Tong shook his head. There were only two proper masters in the entire Su family, but there were more than two hundred people serving them. There were even several manors, and there were also some servants under them. All together, there were more than five or six hundred people.

For the first time, Su Tong felt that there were too many people serving him. Moreover, the original owner was a loyal person. He didn't even have a maid or servant girl to serve him, and he didn't even inherit the dandy style of a wealthy family. In ancient times, he was definitely a affectionate and good man.

Su Tong made a straightforward decision and prepared to release nearly 300 people, including 150 from his own mansion. There were not many people left in the farms below. However, those people only knew how to eat and not work, and many of their fields were rented out to tenants. It would be better to send them away early, which would save some money.

After hearing this, the servants were all terrified and some even prepared to go out to make trouble. However, they were stopped early by the housekeeper and his men. Those who dared to make trouble were beaten to a pulp and then sold out.

And the places they sell are not good ones. They are all places where mining is done and it is extremely tiring and hard. It is already very good to be able to survive.

The servants were all terrified and accepted another arrangement. Besides, they had worked for the Su family for so many years and had saved some money. Plus, the 20 taels of silver they were given this time was enough for them to go to the countryside and buy a thatched house and a few dozen acres of land.

Su Tong did not do anything extreme. Those who were able to stay were basically the elites among the elites, and most of them were one person per family. However, Su Tong specially formed a 30-man young and middle-aged team to specifically guard the house.

Su Tong also knew that loyalty can only be bought with money, so he would never be stingy with things that can be solved with money. He provided them with food and accommodation, and even worried about finding wives and sons for them. He planned everything for their future and hired a martial arts master and a literary master for them.

After Su Tong got better, he actually found those harmful things. It must be said that the other party's calculations were really hidden too deeply.

First of all, there are spices. However, the medicine is not put directly into the spices, but in the spice stove. After being fumigated by the spices, the smell comes to the face, and the poisonous gas penetrates into the bone marrow.

Some medicinal herbs were also put into the ink sticks that he often used for writing. After being ground with water, they would sometimes be inadvertently rubbed onto his hands and face, and finally directly penetrate into his skin.

There were also their own clothes and the water they often drank. Who would have thought that the other party did not poison the water, but directly put it into the ladle.

When Su Tong found these things, he really didn't know what to say, but fortunately he had pulled out all the nails. Although there were still a few hidden very deeply, he had the patience to find them one by one.

The Su Mansion now is no longer like a big leak like before. Even the previous dog hole has been surrounded by mud. There are only three organizations in total. Most of the courtyard gates are closed, and all places that can be entered and exited are guarded by guards. Every time you go out, you have to report it, and even the time you come back has to be recorded.

The same goes for those who cook in the kitchen. There is only a small space for movement, and every dish and food delivered has to be taken a look by the doctor.

Su Tong was not short of money, so he hired several doctors at once. Seeing his daughter's childish face, he handed her directly to the doctor and asked her to follow the doctor to identify the medicinal materials.

Now the whole mansion looks brand new, at least much more orderly than before. The servants no longer run around everywhere like before. There is basically someone guarding wherever they go, and even important places are registered.

Su Tong did not treat them unfairly and directly doubled their monthly salary. Moreover, because there were fewer people, the work they did was much less than before.

As Su Tong's grandson recovered day by day, his mother-in-law wrote a letter saying that she wanted to take her daughter over.

This is also normal. After all, the mistress of the family has passed away. If there is no older elder to raise the child, others will think that the child is uncultured and it will be difficult to find a partner in the future. For details, you can refer to why Lin Daiyu wanted to enter the Jia Mansion.

Su Tong naturally didn't want his daughter to go into such a den of wolves, but he had to find a home for her. Later, he thought that he didn't expect his daughter to become an official, nor did he expect her to be rich and powerful. He just wanted her to be safe, so he wrote a letter to refuse directly, saying that he wanted to teach his daughter and raise her by his side. As for her marriage in the future, he would just find a son-in-law who would live with her.

When other families marry off their daughters, it's to betray their wealth or to marry off two families, but when I let my daughter get married, it's purely to make her happy, so I don't care about what outsiders say.
