Chapter 7 Arrangement

As soon as Cheng De walked out of the door, he saw a scene that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Before he could say something, He Sanwu took the lead and said, "Brother, these people were selected according to your requirements."

Cheng Dehuai had a complicated mood and saw that the hands and feet of these people were tied with ropes, and his eyes showed a look of fear and his hair was messy. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were beggars.

At this moment, Zhou Hao led a middle-aged man with a big belly to come over.

Cheng De focused on the strange middle-aged man, observed his clothes and appearance, and recognized him as an authentic Yuanren at a glance.

"Jun Ye, this is the master of this group of slaves. He is the person with the most slaves in Sizhou City!"

"Dear guests, this batch of slaves is the best batch in my hands, and the price is not cheap. There are 300 slaves in total, 250 strong slaves, each of which sells ten taels and twenty good slaves. Each of them is not only literate, but also has skills, each of which is twenty taels. As for the remaining thirty people, eighteen men and twelve women, they are all after the criminal officials. They have lived in wealthy families. Everyone has received private school education, and each person sells thirty taels. A total of 3800 taels."

Cheng De looked at He Sanwu.

He Sanwu said, "Brother, I have carefully observed these people and believe they meet the requirements of my brother."

Cheng De signaled Li Sanqi to hand over the silver from the bag to Geri Mutu. At the same time, Cheng De spoke: "Can the remaining silver be replaced by jade?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people started to act quickly. Cheng De couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the group of people were standing on the right.

"Master, do you think this is true?"

Cheng De handed the three jade pendants in his hand to Gerimutu. Almost in an instant, the three jade pendants arrived in Gerimutu's hand.

Cheng De counted out a hundred taels from the bag and handed them to Zhou Hao, and said, "Take it, I said before, these are what you deserve. However, you should know what to say and what not to say!"

"By the way, you must be familiar with every part of the yard. I will have other things for you to do later. Remember, don't be lazy in training, you will be the one who will become a general in the future!"

Cheng De nodded.

"Okay, you guys retreat first! Li Sanqi and Luo Gongfu stay!"

"What other books have you read besides "The Art of War"?"

"You are not bad, you will be my book boy in the future. You will be responsible for three meals a day every day."

Not long after, Cheng De saw two servants from Gerimutu walking over with a small box.

"Brother, I understand. That boy, come to my side!"

"This is your future head coach Yang Wei, Yang Wei. You can serve as the commander of the first team, just be the head of a hundred households, and Li Sanqi. You serve as the head of a hundred households in another team, and you will stay here to train them well in the future."

"I can give you another thousand taels."

"Ah! This - I am willing!" Luo Yan's face was flushed.

"Master, I read "Mencius".

"If you know which slaves are good, you can introduce them to me and I will buy them. Of course, your hard work is indispensable!"

"Master, I read "Spring and Autumn""

Then, Cheng De put his eyes on Zhou Hao and immediately spoke: "Li Sanqi, take out 100 taels and give it to Zhou Hao, which is his hard work!"

Looking at the remaining twenty-eight people, Cheng De said, "What are your special skills besides studying?"

He Sanwu and Yang Wei each took a small box, counted the quantity, and the number was all correct.

"Master, I read "The Analects of Confucius"."

"Back to the master, I know how to archery."

“Yes, master.”

"Sweat more on weekdays and less bleeding during wartime! I hope you remember what my elder brother said! Also, stare at Yang Wei carefully. If he surrenders sincerely, give up. If he has other purposes, you must tell me earlier and I will deal with it then!"

After patting Li Sanqi on the shoulder, Cheng De said, "I have been busy all day today, so you can go and rest!"

Cheng De looked at the remaining 250 strong slaves and said, "You will be unified into the guard team in the future and divided into two teams, each with 125 people. The safety of such a large yard will be handed over to you to protect. You can eat three meals a day, but you must complete your daily training every day."

Looking at Luo Gongfu's happy appearance, Cheng De said, "Stand here on my side."

Hearing Gerimutu's words, Cheng De agreed.

Regardless of Yang Wei's affairs, Cheng De looked at the thirty people and said lightly: "You follow me there, I have something to ask you! Li Sanqi, remember to keep up!"

"Very good. From today on, you will be my concubine. As for the ceremony, let's save it. Are you having any problems?" Cheng De glanced at Luo Yan, thinking that what she was responsible for was very important, so he tied her and himself directly, otherwise he would not trust her. Of course, he did like her.

"Thank you, Luo Yan will never let his master down!"

Gerimutu was extremely happy and thought to himself: This Han buyer is so stupid. He doesn’t understand the value of the jade pendant at all. He didn’t expect that this transaction would allow me to earn 10,000 taels, which is really worth it!

After Cheng De quickly counted the number of tickets for selling his body contract, his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Yes, brother, I'll do it now!" Li Sanqi and He Sanwu said in unison.

"He Sanwu, you take the small box of silver in your hand to buy a batch of grain. You can hire someone to send it, and try to spend all the silver in your hand."

Seeing the woman standing up, she had a good figure and dignified manner, Cheng De was very satisfied and said, "The other women here will follow your arrangements in the future and do a good job in accounting, especially the account book, including the daily expenses, you must remember it clearly. Your position is temporarily set as the general account. In addition, the servants who have just arranged for cleaning will also be left to you."

"Little Wang Shilin thanked the master!"

Cheng De looked into the crowd on the right and found that he was a sharp-eyed person, about fifteen years old.

After bowing to Cheng De, these servants all went to the inner courtyard.

Zhou Hao took the silver from Cheng De, smiled and nodded constantly.

"I have also read "Han Feizi" and "Records of the Grand Historian."

soon.

"It's okay over there, it's nothing to lack you. If the superior asks, I'll find a reason to make excuses. On weekdays, I'll come here if I have time and teach you how to train with Yang Wei!"

"You all come here and stand behind me. I have something to ask you later!"

A quarter of an hour later.

When he heard the last person's words, Cheng De pointed at him and said, "Stand in front of me!"

"As for the remaining people, I will organize you into the first team and will be responsible for helping me with some daily trivial matters in the future. For now, let you teach Li Sanqi and those outside to read. Take care of three times a day, and if you do well, you will be rewarded! Luo Gongfu, you are responsible for watching this matter."

"I have always said one thing and said it will do what I say!"

Gerimutu glanced at the two servants behind him.

"Brother, what is the responsibility of the city gate?"

Cheng De took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Gerimutu. Gerimutu repeatedly rubbed and observed it for a while before speaking: "This jade pendant looks like it was from the Northern Song Dynasty. Whether it is jade or finely carved, it is extremely extraordinary. This jade pendant can be mortgaged to 800 taels."

After everyone left, Cheng De looked at the sun about to set, and said, "When He Sanwu comes back, I will leave. Li Sanqi, when I am not here, you must train well. You must practice martial arts well, learn literacy, and learn archery. Don't let me down my expectations for you! There is not much time left for us!"

Cheng De came to a pavilion, sat on the stone pier of the pavilion, and glanced at the people.

Seeing that Li Sanqi had just finished the work, Cheng De walked to the front, looked at the slaves staring at him, and said, "From now on, I will be your master! Your life and death are in my hands! Look, this is your contract for selling your body! If you can make contributions in the future, I can return the contract for selling your body to you and will no longer be a slave. But, if anyone dares to scammers, then I will never spare him!"

Then, Cheng De pointed to the thirty people, and these were all criminal officials, and Cheng De wanted to interrogate them one by one.

Looking at their departure backs, Cheng De narrowed his eyes and thoughtful!

"Li Sanqi, take these people inside, and then untie the rope on them!"

“How much can I remember?”

"May I have your name?"

"Mr. Luo thanked the master!"

"Very good, you are good. From today on, you will be my book boy, and you will be responsible for three meals a day. From tomorrow on, you will write down all the contents of "The Art of War", "Records of the Grand Historian", "Han Feizi", etc. If you complete it, I can make you no longer be a slave, but become the housekeeper in the courtyard. If you become a housekeeper, you can still receive ten taels of silver every month and eat meat every meal."

After looking at him, I found that except for the dirty face, my ears and hands were very white.

At the same time, Gerimutu took out a small box from his arms, stared at Cheng De and said, "These are the contracts for these slaves to sell their bodies, you can click a little."

"Report to Master, yes!"

"There are a brief determination of Qin territory. There are troops guarding the pass by Hangu Pass, but they cannot enter. I also heard that Pei Gong had broken Xianyang, Xiang Yu was furious and asked Dangyang Jun and others to attack the pass..."

Cheng De pointed to the twenty slaves and said, "You go to the inner courtyard to clean up the rooms and clean up each room! As for how you arrange it, let's arrange it for you after the cleaning is completed!"

"Master, my name is Luo Gongfu."

...

As soon as Gerimutu finished speaking, Cheng De took out three other jade pendants, and when Gerimutu saw it, his eyes were straightened.

Before Cheng De could say anything, Gerimutu immediately said: "If you add the three jade pendants in your hand, that's enough."

"Who among you has read the Four Books and Five Classics or Sun Tzu's Art of War, stand to the left!"

These accused people stood behind Cheng De as they said.

"Sister obey your order!"

Cheng De did not speak, which made Gerimutu a little anxious because he saw that two of the three pieces in Cheng De's hand were valuable, and each piece could be sold at least 5,000 taels.

Looking at Li Sanqi and the boy who knew archery, Cheng De looked at the rest of the people, thought for a while before speaking, "The rest of the women are arranged to be in the inner courtyard to be a custodian. Which of you women is the oldest?"

"Report to the master, remember all these books!"

When he saw the smile on Gerimutu's face, Cheng De also smiled and thought to himself: Let you be happy for a while. After a while, after I have mastered Sizhou City, all your wealth will be mine!
