The early morning light fell in the courtyard. The empty courtyard looked particularly deserted because there were only three people living in it. Aguang slept until dawn, knocked on his head, stretched his waist: "I do this business too casually."
It's a bit late, we can open the door at any time you want."
Huo Zhongru's official position was more casual, and he got up later than Zhu Zhanzhen.
Ah Hao went out early because he remembered the task assigned to him by Huo Guang yesterday and went to get some salt.
After washing up, Huo Zhongru took Huo Guang out and went to the largest dental shop in the county.
Generally, large families have inheritance. If a servant girl gives birth to a child at home, she will continue to work at home. However, there are also many people who have made mistakes and need to be sold or if a family needs a new servant, they will come to Renya.
.
This business is very profitable, and it has been a prosperous business for a long time. Unfortunately, there is no dental shop in Xiahe County, which reduces a large amount of tax revenue. Moreover, the dental shop is government-run and the tax revenue is guaranteed.
Huo Zhongru took Huo Guang into the rented carriage and set off.
Inside the carriage, Huo Zhongru patted the carriage and sighed: "It's better to travel by carriage, but this carriage is not as good as the Dou family's carriage a few days ago. The seats are covered with soft cushions, which is very comfortable."
When Huo Guang thought about the car he had ridden in Hyundai, it was nothing. It was incomparable to modern cars. He immediately thought of building a car, but he immediately stopped. If he wanted to build a car in this era, just think about it.
Well, the basic industry is so poor that even if we want to build a steam engine, we can’t.
But then I thought of the steel war horse that Huo Qubing rode? It seemed that the craftsmanship of that thing was even higher than modern ones. If there was such craftsmanship, steam engines and the like would be readily available.
While Huo Guang was thinking about it, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of Ren Ya Xing.
After getting off the carriage and walking in, there was an endless stream of people here. They all looked wealthy and well-dressed. If you don't have any money, you can't spend money here.
When you come here to buy someone, you have to check the deed of residence, as well as the deed of residence of the owner. You have to check who bought the person and what he did for it. Don't try to hide it and sneak in the gift.
this money.
The household slaves' oral and financial contributions were paid by the master's family. The more servants in the family, the more they paid.
Huo Zhongru had already said hello before and did not stop on the first floor. That was for ordinary people to see. VIPs went directly to the second floor.
The second floor is not as lively as the first floor. It is very elegantly decorated, completely opposite to the market-like one downstairs. However, there is no sound insulation in ordinary houses in this era, so the sound is still very noisy.
"Huo Shaofu, you are here." The chubby woman, with a soft voice, walked towards Huo Zhongru, the shopkeeper of Renyazi.
"Shopkeeper, yesterday you said there was a group of new girls arriving."
The fat woman clapped her hands and said, "That's natural. All of them are pretty girls. If it weren't for the slave bond, it would be more than enough to take her home as a bride."
Wang Po sells melons, and there is nothing she doesn’t praise.
"Our family has just bought a new yard and has a lot of free space. We need about ten maids. You can bring the girls back and let us take a look."
"Father, don't you just have a maid and no servants?"
"You have to choose a maid, and the servants can just find a few who are honest and responsible."
The fat woman knew that it was a big business and was not ambiguous: "Huo Shaofu, the new batch of girls are very shy. My place is not big. Let's do this. I will call out eleven girls every time. You can go first."
Keep an eye on it, if you like it, tell me to keep it, if not, change the batch."
Hearing that a new batch could be exchanged, Huo Guang was so confused. How could this person have mastered such high-end marketing methods so early?
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhongru sat down on the chair, half-lying down, looking very comfortable. There was a small coffee table between the two chairs with some refreshments and two cups of warm water in the middle.
Traditional culture indeed has a long history.
The first batch of girls slowly walked out from behind the curtain, filed in, and all stood in front of the two of them.
In order to be able to sell them at a good price, those with better appearance and younger age will be trained a little by dental practitioners, and they will have good walking manners, just to get the dignitaries to pay more money, and you will like it.
, the shopkeeper is asking for prices all over the place.
"Aguang, see if you like any of them. They are all girls of fifteen or sixteen years old."
Huo Guang was speechless. The bad habits of capitalism in this feudal society were simply outrageous. He pointed at the girl with shorter hair and said, "Keep this one first, and switch to the rest."
Huo Zhongru exclaimed: "My son's performance in picking out maids is great."
Even if he killed Huo Guang, he would never have thought that he would be named and praised by his father for choosing a new batch of maids. This is embarrassing to say.
"Change another batch."
"Change another batch."
After changing two batches in a row, the fat woman became a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Master Huo, Mr. Huo, what do you two like? I'll go pick it out for you first."
"Isn't there a foreign woman? Come up here and let us two take a look." Huo Zhongru said without concealment. He couldn't figure out why Huo Guang kept calling for a new batch.
"Hey, it turns out that Mr. Huo likes foreign women, some, some, including Xiongnu women and Xianbei women..."
"Stop talking nonsense, pull up and take a look."
"Hold on."
Huo Guang had only heard of the Xiongnu nation in textbooks, but had never seen it before. This nation has disappeared in modern times. It was a nomadic people on the ancient Mongolian plateau. Every time Huo Guang thought of the word Xiongnu, he could not help but think of it.
Image of barbarian with hairy chest.
As the main rival of the Han Dynasty in the north, the two sides often fought wars. In the past, they mainly resisted. Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to attack and defend foreign lands, but it also became a major financial burden for the Han Dynasty.
There were many wars all year round, and there were many prisoners. Like this time, Huo Qubing went to accept the surrender of the Huns.
A large proportion of the captives became slaves and were added to the human population in various places.
As soon as the Huns woman heard about these people, Huo Guang imagined how tall and thick they looked, and couldn't help but shudder. These Huns were so terrifying.
When the curtain opened again, several enchanting women slowly walked out. Their appearance and appearance were not too different from ours.
The fat lady shopkeeper immediately said: "You two, these women were very dirty when they first came here. I thought I couldn't sell them, but I didn't expect them to turn out white and tender after washing. I've been running a dental shop for so long, this kind of stuff
This is the first time I have seen a Hun woman, especially the third one from the left. Mr. Huo, please take a closer look."
Huo Guang took a closer look. At first glance, he didn't think much of the woman pointed by the fat lady shopkeeper. But upon closer inspection, he had the gentle charm of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty, but she didn't seem to match the Xiongnu at all.
Huo Zhongru stood up next to him, walked excitedly to a woman and said, "Aguang, I want this, this is good."
Huo Guang shifted his gaze and said, "Good guy, this is a big one."
