After the discussion was over, Liu Guangyuan said hesitantly: "Master, if we leave, you must be careful in the house! There are really too few people in our house!"
Liu Haojia said: "Uncle Guangyuan, don't worry. I have borrowed some people from the Zhang family and will be here in the afternoon! As long as they are here, nothing will happen in the house!"
After hearing this, Liu Guangyuan said with relief: "That's good! The second young master is still flexible and has arranged things in advance!"
Liu Haojia said: "Not only that, I plan to buy a group of people back today, especially to buy more children and raise them myself, so that the house will be lively!"
Liu Guangyuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Okay, our Gu Ningbo Mansion must do this kind of good thing!"
Liu Haojia was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, this matter of buying people as slaves is not a good thing, right? Or did I hear it wrong?
Liu Guangyuan saw what he was thinking and said: "Second Young Master, although our Gu Ningbo Mansion has fallen, we still have enough food and supplies, so you don't know the situation outside! If our manor only buys some ordinary servants
, it’s just a business! But if you buy more children like you said, it would really be a good deed! Because except for some outstanding girls and handsome little boys, all other children are
You won’t live long!”
Liu Haojia was very surprised when he heard this! Because what Liu Guangyuan said was completely different from what he saw in movies and TV series! In movies, when encountering disaster years, parents always put a straw mark on their children's heads.
They sold it to provide a way for their children to survive! How come they were turned upside down in the real society? So he hurriedly asked Liu Guangyuan what was going on?
Liu Guangyuan sighed and said: "As a parent, if you are not forced to a dead end, who would be willing to sell your child? Girls are okay, they can be sold to brothels or widowers when they are raised. The same cannot be said for boys! Better luck
Some of the children were sold as concubines, and the unlucky ones were even castrated! Other children were either sold to beggars, had their limbs broken or made wounds, and were thrown on the street to beg; or they were sold to circus troupes.
, put them in jars to raise dwarfs for fun! The rest that no one wants are sold to the mines at low prices, because there are many places in the mines that need thin people to crawl around! So these children will not live long.
of!"
Liu Haojia said in surprise: "How could this happen? At the very least, those children are also goods in the hands of others. Aren't they worried about losing money when they treat these children like this?"
Liu Guangyuan said: "Second Young Master, the children in Renyazi's hands are either abducted or bought from the victims! But those children are too young to work, so Renyazi is not willing to buy them at all.
! Even if they bought it, the girl could still give some money, but the boy would just throw down two pancakes and take it away! So apart from spending a few pancakes, they didn’t spend much at all. How could they lose money?
"
Liu Haojia said angrily: "But aren't the servants of every wealthy family raised from children? How come no one buys it?"
Liu Guangyuan said: "There are indeed many wealthy families in need of servants, but don't forget, Second Young Master, those who can afford to buy servants are from wealthy families, and there is no shortage of children in the family! These children have been trained since childhood and are loyal.
The level is much higher than buying a child! That is to say, people like ours need to buy children. Like some larger families, they have to send out a lot of children every year!"
After Liu Haojia heard this, he couldn't accept this kind of thing after receiving modern education! Although he had joined the mercenaries and was used to seeing death, he was still fighting each other on the battlefield. He couldn't blame others for his fate! This made him completely dissatisfied.
I understand how people can be so cruel! So the aura on his body was a little unstable for a while!
Liu Guangyuan didn't think anything after seeing it, but he felt that the second young master seemed to have become a little cold! But Liu Guangting was not Liu Guangyuan who had never left the house! He had been wandering outside for many years and had participated in gang fights, so he saw Liu Haojia's appearance
I was shocked!
He couldn't help but think to himself: "Has this second young master also killed someone? Only those who have had human lives on their hands can have such a cold aura!"
But then he thought about it, the second young master had never left the house in his life, and he was only a few years old. How could he have the ability to kill people? So he became happy! Because Liu Haojia's performance seemed to him that he was a born general! So he felt
If the second young master in front of me joins the army in the future, he will definitely become rich!
Thinking of this, he felt eager in his heart! After all, as servants like them, they can only live a good life if the master's family is prosperous! In the future, if the master's family has great power, they will release their servants as officials when they encounter good things.
, when the time comes, I will be able to stand alone!
Liu Guangting was thinking about this when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he heard Jinbao saying outside: "Master, Second Young Master, the Zhang family sent a shopkeeper over with a few people, and also carried a box, saying it was with
The second young master agreed to give it away and give him money!"
Liu Haojia explained to Father Liu: "Our Uncle Zhang said hello, and we will first pay him a sum of money so that Uncle Guangyuan and the others can use it when they go out. Later, we will pay back the debt with the price of snow candy!"
Father Liu nodded to express his understanding and agreed: "Then you go and greet me."
Liu Haojia came back soon after going out. The two Jinbao brothers behind him were carrying a wooden box, which looked quite heavy. Liu Haojia reached out and opened the wooden box. There were layers of wooden boards inside, with the top wooden board above
There is a small groove, and there are nine gold statues in it! Take out the gold statues, and there are three layers below, all of which are silver statues!
These gold and silver ribs are about half the size of a palm. Viewed from the front, they are in the shape of a double-edged axe. Viewed from the side, they look like a flat boat. One side is slightly convex, and the other side is slightly concave. The convex part can be placed just right.
The depressions in the wooden board. However, due to the technical reasons of refining and pouring at that time, the gold statuette was relatively good, but the silver statuette had many bubble holes, resulting in the silver statuette not being very smooth.
In the sunken place on the front of the silver stand, four characters are engraved vertically in the middle: Zhang's Tibetan Silver. Each of the four corners has a line of characters: True Flower Fine Silver. There are also two gourds engraved on both sides, which are taken from the two characters Fulu.
Homophonic, looks pretty good!
Seeing these things, Liu Haojia couldn't help but frowned! The financial ability of the Ming Dynasty is really poor now! To do business, you have to carry a lot of gold and silver when traveling far away, which is really dangerous and inconvenient! Although he has planned to do business in the future.
Banks were opened, but they could only use this backward transaction method.
