Chapter 268 Buying People
"Tsk, you are so obedient." Huang Yanglong felt bored and let Xue Liu go for the time being. He put on his clogs and walked towards the guest house of Tianzi No. 1.
Xue Liu looked at Huang Yanglong's wooden clogs, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Master Huang, it's cold today, you'd better wear a pair of thick cotton boots."
"Humph, I will Love wearing clogs! "Huang Yanglong's main character is rebellious and just won't listen.
Xue Liu was in a dilemma.
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "There is no need to persuade the shopkeeper. When Young Master Huang has frostbite on his feet and it hurts and itches, Young Master Huang will wear thick cotton boots. Unfortunately, it is too late by then. The frostbite will not heal until spring." , and will commit the crime every year. "You are more rebellious than you Huang Yanglong.
"Daughter of the Qin family, don't scare me. I have been wearing clogs in winter since I was a child, and I haven't seen any sores!" Huang Yanglong didn't believe it and continued to run to the guest house of No. 1 Tianzi.
Qin Xiaomi and the others also live in the guest house, Tianzi No. 2, while Jia Xiang and his servants live in Tianzi No. 3.
"The host said that you are distinguished guests and you only need to pay half of the accommodation fee." Xue Liu looked at Grandpa Qin and said: "If you don't like it, you can change the guest room."
< br>Although the Qin family has suddenly become rich, farmers are used to being thrifty and may not be willing to spend too much money to live in a guest house.
"Grandpa, let's not change. Let's live here." Qin Xiaomi didn't want to wrong herself, but also wanted Grandpa Qin to enjoy it. After all, it's not easy to come to Fucheng.
"Yes." Grandpa Qin agreed and said to Xue Liu: "Thank you very much."
Xue Liu smiled and called two more women: "This is the Cao family and the Fang family , are responsible for cleaning the guest house. During this period, if you have anything to do, please give them orders."
After the two women came to see the ceremony, they went into the house to clean up.
Xue Liu hurriedly went to entertain Huang Yanglong again, but Huang Yanglong gave him a hard time, but Xue Liu was not angry and kept smiling.
Huang Yanglong was not happy, but was very angry. He said angrily: "Go away, I don't need you to serve me here!"
"Yes." Xue Liu withdrew and quickly ordered someone to send him away. Three tables of food came, one for each family of Qin, Jia, and Huang.
But Grandpa Qin looked at a table of delicious food, but had a hard time eating.
"What's wrong with grandpa? But he's not feeling well?" Qin Xiaomi was afraid that grandpa Qin would catch a cold, so he immediately took his pulse... Although he was physically damaged due to fleeing from famine, he was not sick.
After a while, Grandpa Qin said: "Xiaomi, grandpa wants to donate a sum of money to the victims to help them."
When he saw the victims today, he thought of the hardships of escaping, and how great it would be if someone could help them.
Qin Xiaomi frowned: "Grandpa, our family has already donated money, and 10% of the bonus from the new dyes has been reserved as disaster relief money. Our family is worthy of anyone, and grandpa can rest assured that he can enjoy the good life and drink hot food."
Jiang Dalang also said: "Grandpa Qin, I looked into the thatched shed today. There are thick quilts inside. The soldiers guarding the city gate also said that the Yamen also distributed a lot of coarse grains to them... …These Among the things, we should have bought them with our donation, and we have a clear conscience."
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin felt a lot better, but: "How about we donate more."
Qin Xiaomi saw that Grandpa Qin still couldn't let go of this problem, so he could only say: "Okay, let's donate, just donate the money robbed from Master Yan Er, and let Master Huang donate too... Grandpa, let's eat first."
What a great idea to get the best of both worlds, here it is!
After hearing this, Grandpa Qin also picked up his chopsticks to eat.
After the meal, Huang Yanglong learned that he was asked to donate money for disaster relief, and he immediately became angry: "Although the money was robbed, I haven't warmed up yet, so I won't donate!"
Qin Xiaomi: "Master Huang, donating a sum of money can help you gain a good reputation and help you seize the power of Zheng Dong's family. "
Huang Yanglong was pleased to hear this, but said: "Zheng Nandan is the dove thief who occupied the magpie's nest. He is not the boss of the Huang family business. Don't call him boss. This young master is disgusting!" "Okay, okay, don't shout!" Don't shout." Qin Xiaomi said perfunctorily, and then asked: "Do you want to donate or not?"
“Humph, donate, it’s not my family’s money anyway.” Huang Yanglong became happy again thinking that the good silver came from the Yan family, and the good reputation belonged to him.
"Okay, let's prepare the money today and your family will donate it. My family still has a lot of things to do, so I won't bother." Qin Xiaomi left the matter to Huang Yanglong and returned She and Eryong's wife went to the house to rest.
After Jia Xiang learned about the donation, he found Huang Yanglong and donated 500 taels of silver.
Guanshi Jia's flesh was throbbing with pain, and he hurriedly said: "Master, I said that in addition to the expenses for food, accommodation, transportation and normal gifts, all other expenses for this trip to Fucheng will come from your private treasury. Deduction. Once the deduction is done, it will be deducted from your future property. Please think twice.”
Jia Xiang thought for a while and nodded firmly: "Well, I know, but I still want to donate."
He gave the banknote to Huang Yanglong.
Guanshi Jia's heartache worsened, but thinking about what the master said, one can gain wisdom after an incident, so he did not stop Jia Xiang.
......
The next day, the Qin family went straight to the official dental shop.
Xue Liu followed them in person, took them to see the chief manager of Guan Ya, and said clearly: "Manager Peng, not only do the Qin family have business relations with our Xue family, our boss also calls Mr. Qin uncle. "Hand in."
After hearing this, General Manager Peng knew that the Qin family was not ordinary country people, so he did not dare to fool him. He straightened his face and asked, "I dare to ask Mr. Qin, what kind of slaves does your family want?" ?”
Grandpa Qin looked at Qin Xiaomi: "You tell me."
Manager Peng welcomed the person who was sent there. He had a lot of experience. When he saw Grandpa Qin handing over the purchase of people to a little girl, He was not too surprised. He only showed some respect to Qin Xiaomi and said with a smile: "Please give me your instructions, little guest."
Qin Xiaomi: "I heard that you have many slaves from the houses that were raided?"< br>
General Manager Peng nodded: "Well, there are quite a few here."
Qin Xiaomi asked again: "What does the boss mean? How come the sales are so far away? It's because they are afraid of them, fearing that they will have an adventure in the future. Did the old owner do something, or did he simply not want them to live well? "
After all, they are slaves of the house that was confiscated. In order to avoid future troubles, she must ask clearly, otherwise she cannot buy them back.
General Manager Peng was secretly shocked... No wonder Mr. Qin let a little girl take the lead in buying people. It turned out that she was a powerful person, and she could decide the difference between life and death with just one sentence.
"Don't worry, my guest, all the slaves of the thieves' auxiliary family and the slaves of the close relatives' families have been beheaded, and no one is alive. The ones who were sold are all the slaves of the implicated families outside the three clans, and there is no one left. Taboo. We will specially bring it to Northeastern State for sale. Firstly, the area is sparsely populated and we need people. Secondly, we don’t want them to go to Jiangnan... Customers can buy with confidence.”
Jiangnan is the territory of powerful families, and the new emperor does not want to give the family the opportunity to recruit slaves... After all, slaves can also be used as soldiers.
Manager Peng Da explained in detail, allaying Qin Xiaomi's worries: "Thank you very much, Manager Peng, for clearing up the confusion."
Soon, Qin Xiaomi stated his buyer's requirements: "You must have no faults, understand the rules, understand the superiority and inferiority, and have skills, such as literacy, accounting, medicine, and boxing. ...My family wants some servants who are good at guarding the house, preferably maids."
After hearing these requests, Manager Peng became more and more afraid of fooling Qin Xiaomi, and immediately said: "Okay, guest, wait a minute. Sit down, I will arrange it myself."
After saying that, he took the Yaxing martial artist and went to pick the people in person.
Because Qin Xiaomi wanted to take the martial arts maid, it took a long time to go. More than three quarters of an hour later, General Manager Peng returned with a hundred servants to be sold.
