"I didn't drive you away, but I asked you where you came from and where you are going. Li Hugo said, and planned to close the door to thank the guests.

Where do you think, at this time, a few of the maids came over and said: "However, the rules of the Xie family cannot be changed, we are all people who owe the deed of sale in the Xie family, we ......"

"What's going on?" said Li Hugo, "Lingyun, you have to give me an explanation. ”

Xie Lingyun walked down the steps, she looked at Li Hugo and said: "The Xie family's salary is much more than that of ordinary families, but in the same way, the more wages there are, the more things to bear, if the tasks assigned by the Xie family cannot be completed, they will be deducted from their wages at the least, and at worst, they will be regarded as violating the contract and will be escorted to the government." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Hugo was naturally very disgusted, but he understood that the current era was different from the era he was in, and the current era was a bit similar to the Ming Dynasty.

Subordinates and slaves are two concepts, because Li Hugo's family also has subordinates and slaves, but in Li Hugo's own family, he is the little master, so he has the right to speak, and this is the Xie family, he is just a guest in the end, and it is impossible to have too much power here.

The subordinates are ordinary people, who came to the Xie family to be maids, but the slaves are different, these slaves are bought, that is, slaves, some of these people are prisoners after the war, that is, those bought and sold by their fathers, and some are the children of slaves, the children of these slaves are also slaves at birth, which is naturally a pity.

Most of the slaves in the capital were the children of slaves.

Of course, the first slave among these slaves will never be born a slave, the first slave should be born as a result of war, there are constant wars between various countries, the defeated are not only killed but also taken prisoner, due to the extremely low productivity, the food collected by a country is so precious, all, how can it be easy to fill the stomach of the captive.

Of course, it doesn't matter how many captives die casually, and they can't be raised in vain, so these captives are pulled out to work for the country.

In addition to the war, there was also a system of punishing some criminals and the families of those who committed capital crimes and other more serious crimes as official slaves, such as the families of criminals in the Western Zhou Dynasty who were set up as official slaves, men became criminal officials under the control of the subordinates, and women were engaged in rice and other labor.

For these people who don't have much power, Li Hugo naturally didn't want to harm them, so he said: "Chapter 3, you can live in this courtyard and do some sweeping and cooking work, but none of you can come into my room, not men, women, the elderly, and children, unless they are people I approve of." ”

"What do you say about me?" Xie Lingyun said with a smile, that smile was quite mischievous.

"This place is yours, and since it is now lent to me, then the right to decide on this house is naturally mine, but you are my friend, of course, exception, and you know why I don't want anyone else to enter my room. Li Hugo said.

Of course Xie Lingyun knows, that's because Li Hugo wants to cultivate, this room is very big, he can build it, build it into a practice room, and then he can take a bath and sleep after practicing, no one will bother, and this capital, knowing that Li Hugo has cultivated to reach the Martial Emperor, I'm afraid there is only Xie Lingyun alone, so Xie Lingyun also happily agreed: "You still have a little conscience." ”

As soon as Li Hugo announced this, the people around him were also relieved, after all, it was the best choice for them to stay here than to drive them back, no matter what Li Hugo asked, they would agree.

The crowd also knelt down towards Li Hugo: "Thank you, Master Li." ”

"Don't be so polite, I'm also from Jiuxiao City, Jiuxiao City is a small place for you people in the capital, and people in small places are hillbillies, so I'm from Jiuxiao City, and I'm also a hillbilly, so I don't pay so much attention to it. Li Hugo said.

Everyone also smiled happily, and Xie Lingyun on the side waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go get busy, prepare some food in the evening, and Li Gongzi and I will come back for dinner." ”

"Yes, miss. The maids immediately went to the kitchen to get busy.

Li Hugo said: "I haven't packed it yet, where are you going?"

"Clean up at night, besides, you don't have much to do, you go outside with me first, and I'll take you to see my master by the way." Xie Lingyun said.

Li Hugo smiled: "You mean...... Sword Immortal Senior?"

"That's nature!" Xie Lingyun said, she happily took Li Hugo's hand, and walked towards the door, those people in the courtyard, looking at the two people in the distance, also whispered one by one.

"You say, what kind of person is this Li Gongzi, our young lady is usually very strict, but in front of this Li Gongzi, it seems to be ...... It's like a different person. ”

"I'm afraid I know the truth for a while!" a family member holding a firewood came over and said, "This Li Gongzi is our future uncle nine times out of ten......! I heard that our master is quite polite to this Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi went to Beijing to catch the exam, but the master didn't say a word, so he invited him to live at home, and finally in order to avoid suspicion, this is to let Li Gongzi move here, what do you mean by moving to live at home?"

"That's a family!" another pretty little girl covered her mouth and chuckled.

Jia Ding said: "By the way, we have to please this Li Gongzi, and we will count on him in the future! Let's go buy some good wine and meat for Li Gongzi, what do you think?"

"But the little money that the old man has allocated for food is not enough at all......," said another householder, "and every day is just the right time to eat and the expenses of the family." ”

"A group of stupid people, let's ask for some money by ourselves, each of us will make up ten cents, and it will only be a few days' wages, but if we serve this master well, we will have good fruits to eat in the future!"

"Great idea!"

A group of people began to prepare for the evening meal, and Li Huguo's side, when he came to the Shujian Academy, was first shocked by the splendor of the Shujian Academy.

Shujian Academy is a gorgeous palace group, students come and go, very lively, people saw Xie Lingyun, all of them were very surprised, at this time came a tall handsome guy, the handsome guy smiled and said: "Ling'er, you are here...... Hey, this guy is ......"

The handsome guy saw Li Hugo next to Xie Lingyun, but Li Hugo saw Xie Lingyun's disgusted expression, as if she was not very interested in this handsome guy.
