Noon the next day.

Kyoto Tojo Meijibo.

Jia Yun went to the Arch Guard Department to finish the work and arranged some guard work, and soon came here with Qingwen carrying a small baggage.

Qingwen's eyes widened as she looked at the "big house" in front of her. She couldn't afford this big house for even a few thousand taels. She never expected that her master was so rich.

It's not that Qingwen has never seen the world. Although the courtyard here is spacious, it is much worse than the Duke's Mansion. She was surprised how Jia Yun could afford the house in front of her. However, although she had doubts, she didn't say much. Servant

We still need to be clear about our responsibilities.

At this time, a middle-aged man from Zhuangzhai Ya whom I had met yesterday came over and hurriedly greeted: "Uncle, you are here so early."

Jia Yun nodded.

The two Ya people looked very familiar, and after chatting happily for a few words, they came to Jia Yun together.

"This is the buyer." Yesterday's person from Zhuangzhai introduced him.

He heard that the man in front of him was a proud man, so he quickly took off his hat and saluted: "My name is Yan San, I would like to pay my respects to you, Master."

"Well, where are the people? Why are there only two of you? Could it be that you are tricking me?" Yesterday, we agreed to bring people to our house for Jia Yun to choose from, but the only two people who came were useless.

Yan San said flatteringly: "Uncle, I heard that you just bought a big house and you want to hire servants. I was thinking that you would not only hire some handymen to sweep the house, but you would also need to hire a housekeeper and so on. So,

It's not easy to bring this person here. If you don't mind the trouble, why don't you follow me to have a look? You just need to cross a street and you won't be delayed for long."

When Jia Yun heard this, he thought it was reasonable. If he didn't choose, it wouldn't be a problem, but his servants had better take a closer look. With this idea, Jia Yun said: "It makes sense. In that case,

Then go and have a look."

Yan San couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. When he heard about this yesterday, he knew that the man in front of him was a big customer, so he made careful arrangements.

"Uncle, please follow me."

Jia Yun turned his head and told Qingwen: "Go inside and wait."

Since she is going to the dental clinic, it is better for a little girl like Qingwen not to go. Even though she may have seen it before when she was a child, that kind of place is not a good place. So let her stay in the house first. Under the city of Kyoto, Qingwen

Nothing will happen to Wen if she stays in the house.

Qingwen heard the words and responded: "I understand."

Although Qingwen is sharp-tongued, she can still tell the difference between master and servant in front of "outsiders". Jia Yun often doesn't care about her rudeness. That's because Jia Yun doesn't care. But if an outsider loses the face of his master, then

No joke.

Jia Yun nodded and followed Yan San across a street, and together they came to a large warehouse.

Before entering the warehouse, Yan San whispered to Jia Yun: "Master, there are special handymen here, experienced housekeepers, and well-dressed people... Hehe, you can choose, just take your pick."

After saying this, Yan San called Jia Yun into the warehouse and asked Jia Yun to sit down. He then brought a cup of fragrant tea and said flatteringly: "Uncle, you can choose as you like later. Just let us know who you choose."

Jia Yun took a sip, thought for a moment, and said, "Choose the butler first!"

In the house, it is better to choose a housekeeper first.

Upon hearing this, Yan San said hello, and a dozen middle-aged men walked in immediately, and immediately started to introduce themselves under Yan San's eyes, saying: "The younger one's name is Zhu Jing, and he once worked as a manager in two large households, but

Because the previous owner..."

The housekeepers introduced him one by one, and finally Jia Yun's eyes stopped on a man in his forties who was wearing a black round-neck robe. The robe looked more formal, but there were a lot of patches on it.

"It's up to you, stand back."

The man named Li Fu bowed and said: "Thank you very much, Master..."

After choosing a housekeeper, Jia Yun looked at Yan San and ordered: "The servants in the house need to be hard-working and hard-working."

Yan San understood and waved his hand to take the lonely-looking "butler" away. Immediately, another thirty or forty young men walked in. They were all wearing coarse linen shirts and had many patches on their bodies.

Jia Yun glanced at the young man on the left. The young man was also very smart. He came up and knelt in front of Jia Yun and said: "The younger one's name is Xue Liu. I live in Xuejia Village. I am strong and can endure hardships, and I don't eat much."

, four pieces of bread a day is enough, no! Three pieces!”

Jia Yun glanced at Xue Liu in front of him and ordered: "Stand behind."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" After kowtowing three times, Xue Liu and Butler Li stood together.

Seeing that Xue Liu was also recruited away, the remaining people couldn't bear it any longer, and one by one they came to Jia Yun and shouted.

"Master, my name is Liu Fu! I can only eat three pieces of cake, so why don't you take it from me too?"

"Master! I can endure hardships! I also have strength!"

Jia Yun was not surprised when he saw this situation. He knew at a glance that these people were children from poor families who could not afford to eat. If they went to work as a handyman in someone else's house, they would not only have food and accommodation, but they would also receive a monthly salary.

, this is a great good thing.

Don't talk about enslaving others. In this era, if you recruit them to work in the government, you are saving their lives. If this people's business disappears, many children of poor families who have lost their livelihood will not be able to survive.

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Yan San quickly walked up and shouted: "What are you making! You want to die, don't you? Stand back!"

It was obvious that Yan San still had great prestige among this group of people. Those who had been busy introducing him just now all stood back to their original positions with their heads lowered.

After the situation was under control, Yan San smiled and said to Jia Yun: "Master, don't be like them. They are all idiots with little education. If you don't like this, give me some time and I'll try again."

I’ll help you find a better batch.”

Jia Yun didn't have time to wait. The house still needed people to clean it. He waved his hand to Yan San and Jia Yun said, "No need."

"Hey, then you go ahead and choose." After Yan San finished speaking, he stepped back.

Then Jia Yun quickly picked out ten people from the crowd. It was actually a little small for his mansion, but it was not a big deal. If needed in the future, he could buy them again.

"That's it. Let the rest disperse." Jia Yun waved his hand.

After selecting the handymen, the remaining ones are naturally the maids.

Under Yan San's greeting, a total of about twenty young girls walked in. All of them had slim waists and were dressed differently from others. This scene reminded Jia Yun of the situation in some clubs in his previous life.

Suddenly separated from the dream.

Jia Yun raised his eyes and looked at Yan San, who hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you are a noble person, and the maids who serve you naturally have to be chosen from pretty people. Most of them come from wealthy families, and they are also the lowest-end products like us.

If it weren't for you, I would be reluctant to take it out."

Those who can afford a big house naturally have plenty of money, so Yan San picked out some good things for Jia Yun to choose from, preparing to make a fortune.

Jia Yun knew very well how the so-called wealthy families would send their family members to other people's houses to be maids. Presumably the wealthy families that Yan San mentioned were the family members of those criminal officials.

Officials who committed serious crimes during the Qian Dynasty not only had their property confiscated, but their wives, daughters, and maids were often demoted as slaves to serve as slaves for the families of heroes. These gangs used their connections to buy these people off.

Just like when the Jia family was raided, many of the female family members and maids in the palace were auctioned off, and Shi Xiangyun was also sold into a brothel and a painting house.

Those who were reduced to slavery due to sin were called red indenture slaves, which were different from the white indenture slaves who voluntarily sold themselves into slavery. Although these two types of slaves were both slaves, their statuses were different.

In the "Daqian Laws and Household Services", there is the following article:

"Any slave bought under a white contract, if the owner is unable to support him or has little work to do, and is willing to have his body redeemed, can still be redeemed. If the owner is unwilling, he will not be allowed to be redeemed. He is a drunkard, abducted and escaped, etc. All the crimes will be punished according to the example of the Hongqi family. If there are those who are seeking to redeem their lives by relying on force, they will still be punished according to the prescribed rules."

It can be seen from the above that a white-deed slave can redeem himself as long as his master is willing to let him redeem himself, while a red-deed slave cannot redeem himself at will, because a white-deed slave has no choice but to sell himself as a slave because of his livelihood, while a red-deed slave can sell himself as a slave. The family committed a serious crime and was punished as a slave.

Jia Yun looked at the pretty maid in front of him, waved his hand and said, "I only need some cleaning maids, I don't need anyone else."

Although these maids are of good quality, their prices are not low. Even if you can afford them, there is no need to waste your money.

Yan San was startled when he heard this. Among these people, this group of people had the biggest profits. He was still expecting to make a big fortune, but he didn't expect that the man in front of him didn't buy it.

Yan San glanced at the boy beside him, and immediately four more beautiful girls came.

"Uncle, these four are the "skinny horses" trained by the warehouse since childhood. They are so rare and tight. What can you do?"

The so-called "skinny horses" are delicate women who are specially trained to become slim and slim.

In fact, "skinny horse" is a hugely profitable profession. Rich families all keep concubines. Some people take a fancy to the "business opportunities" in this and divide the little girls into three, six or nine grades, called "skinny horses", just like livestock. Buy and sell.

Most of these "skinny horses" are poor women. They are forced to learn various skills to please men since they were young, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They even have to be professionally trained to behave well. When they grow up, they are sold to wealthy businessmen. Become a concubine or enter Yanliu Lane.

Of course, the people in the dental shop do not necessarily sell themselves voluntarily. They will also select young girls from the auctioneers, usually under ten years old, with good looks, who will grow up to be beauties.

They only spent a few taels of silver to buy these little girls back, and when they sold them, they usually cost more than a thousand taels of silver. Some of the ones with excellent sex skills could be sold for thousands of taels of silver, which was a huge profit industry.

Xiangling was abducted by Paihuazi and then sold to human traffickers, and then ended up in the hands of the Xue family.

Yan San secretly glanced at Jia Yun, and when he saw that his expression was as usual, he shouted: "Please cheer up! The man you will serve in the future is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

"Greetings to the young master."

The four "skinny horses" shouted in unison, Wu Nong whispered.
