Chapter 61: Unexpected Joy
Looking at the children with straws in their heads on both sides of the road, they range from five or six to twelve or thirteen years old. Some are boys, some are girls, some are big, some are small. All of them are skinny and covered with bones.
.
These children are so pitiful. Jia Cong really wants to buy them all, let them cultivate for a period of time, and select some with strong physical strength to supplement the army. The weaker ones can open a workshop and let them work, and they can still make a living.
Own.
It's a pity that the time is wrong. It's the end of the year. It will take several days to settle them all. It's hard to find a place to stay when there are so many people. I really don't want to cause this trouble.
Besides, these people are too complex and come from all over the world. They are far inferior to the children in the farm, who are both simple and knowledgeable.
Even if you really want to buy one, you still need to carefully screen it and only buy some reliable ones.
After all, I am not the savior. There are thousands of people suffering in the world, and I cannot control them. I don’t have the ability.
The world is like this and the country is like this, so we can only say that there is nothing we can do about it.
Da Chu has only been a country for more than a hundred years, but it has been plagued by numerous disadvantages. The royal clan, princes, gentry and wealthy merchants are accumulating land and purchasing property. The land annexation has reached a crazy level. The national finance is even more difficult to make ends meet, and it is in deficit every year.
Coupled with the constant disasters in various places, people have been displaced and their lives have become even more difficult. There are many people who sell their sons and daughters. It is actually a scene of the end of the dynasty.
Hey! If this continues, I don’t know how many more years of peaceful life I can live.
Wangcai walked a few steps, came to Jia Cong's side, and asked in a low voice: "Third Master, do you want to buy some slaves?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "I just came in to take a look. If I find something I like, I buy it. If I don't, forget it."
"Third Master, it's hard to find good stuff outside. If you want to see it, why not go inside and take a look. There are several big stores inside that have all kinds of stuff. You might be able to find something that Third Master likes."
Jia Cong nodded, and several people came to a large yard. The slaves here were of a much higher grade than outside. Men, women, and children were all separated, and there were also some pretty girls.
"Master, what do you want to buy? Do you want to buy a few beauties? Or a few boys?"
The boss here saw a few people walking around and took the initiative to greet them and asked.
"Do you have anyone here who has any special skills, such as a doctor, a blacksmith, a carpenter, a chef, someone who knows kung fu, etc."
"Unfortunately, the blacksmith was bought by someone some time ago, and there is no doctor. There are only two carpenters, a cook and a kung fu guy. I have to ask you. I wonder if a veteran who came off the battlefield can do it?
"
"Then it depends on the quality. I don't want you to be a coward who is too timid."
"That's easy. I'll take you to see it in person and let you choose for yourself."
Jia Cong followed the boss around, and not to mention, he really saw a few good things, especially two beauties in their fifteenth or sixteenth year old. They looked so pretty. It was a pity that he was too young to enjoy it.
, had no choice but to miss it.
I went to three other places and looked around, thinking that I had gained a lot of experience, but I got an unexpected surprise.
When we returned, there were many more people in the team, including two blacksmiths, a carpenter, a doctor, six young men who knew kung fu, and four veterans.
Five of the six people who knew kung fu were found outside. When they left, Wangcai shouted, and a dozen of them stood up. Jia Cong was a little happy to see them, but after a try, he found that many of them were fake.
of.
Finally, I asked them to practice for a while and selected five that looked a bit basic.
These six kung fu masters were all twelve or thirteen years old, and four of them were girls who happened to be staying in the backyard to help him look after the house.
The other two are boys. Observe them for a while. If they are really talented, spend some money to train them as your personal guards. If they are not that good, forget it.
This doctor is a fifteen-year-old female doctor. Her family runs a pharmacy. She has learned medical skills from her father since she was a child. Later, she was framed by her opponent and her family was destroyed. She was the only one who survived.
Later, I left my hometown and met a trafficker on the road, which led to my current situation.
This girl's name is Han Nianci. If her medical skills are really good, she should be trained well, teach her some surgical knowledge, and train her to become an army doctor.
There is not much to say about the four veterans. They are all in their thirties and in their prime, and they look quite good. They will serve as servants in the mansion and train for a while.
When he returned to his house, he incorporated four veterans and two young men who knew kung fu into his bodyguards, making them twenty-two in number.
He left the blacksmith and carpenter to Zhang Fu and took the five girls back to the backyard.
"Third Master, you are back, who are they?"
When Ping'er saw Jia Cong leading five little girls, he couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "This is Han Nianci. He knows some medical skills and will be a member of our house from now on. These four little girls know some boxing and kicking skills and will stay in the backyard to protect you. They don't have serious names either, so they are called Chunlan."
, summer bamboo, autumn chrysanthemum, and winter plum."
"Thank you, Third Master, for the name. We will definitely protect the backyard and my wife."
"Well, you guys need to rest for a few days. I'll get up at the beginning of every day to practice. If you can get up, you can practice with me."
Jia Cong's words made the four little girls stunned. They didn't expect that this young master is also a practitioner, and he is also very diligent. He practices every day. Practicing with the young master not only brings them closer to each other, but also increases their feelings. Why not?
Not for that reason.
The four little girls clasped their fists and said, "Now that we know the Third Master, we are willing to practice with the Third Master, and we can also help the Third Master with his moves, so that the Third Master can become familiar with actual combat more quickly."
Jia Cong nodded. The idea of these little girls is good. It is better to practice alone than to practice with many people. That way, the skills, opponents, eyes, and body skills will be improved faster. It is really impossible for this person to work behind closed doors.
No wonder those young heroes have to travel around the world.
Then he said to Han Nianci: "Nianci, if you need any medical books or medicinal materials, you can tell me, and I will ask someone to find them for you. You should brush up on your medical skills during this period. I will be free after a while.
A secretary who will teach you some surgery."
Han Nianci bowed and said, "I know Third Master, does Third Master also know medical skills?"
"I only know some knowledge about surgery and very little about other medical skills. This is Sister Ping'er, who is in charge of everything in the house. If you have anything, you can go to her directly."
"I've met Sister Ping'er."
These girls are not stupid, and they immediately greeted Ping'er.
"Sisters, you don't need to be polite. Since you are here, we are a family. Come on, I will arrange a house for you to live in first."
Ping'er helped several people up and led them out of the hall.
This time I went out and gained a lot. Two of the ten puppies were left in the front yard and given to the servants to raise. They will take them with them when they patrol at night.
The other eight puppies were placed in the backyard. The two women who guarded the garden were responsible for raising two. The woman who guarded the soap workshop was responsible for raising two. It turned out that the two were raised in the yard where Lai Da lived, and the one where Jia Cong lived.
We also have two in the yard.
The gatekeepers were responsible for raising them all, and they built kennels in remote places. They were locked up during the day and released at night. If someone really sneaked in, the dogs would not be able to find them, but the dogs would definitely find them.
