Chapter 217: Reception (3) (2nd Update)
Mei Yixuan nodded, looked at these children and said, "Okay, in the future, you will be equal to my people, you are not slaves, just my subordinates." For now, you need to get your body in order, and then explain what you want to do later. Medicine, cooking, needlework, serving people, learning martial arts, arithmetic, and even participating in scientific examinations are all acceptable, but there is a prerequisite for learning these, you must be able to read and write. So, when you're in good health, the first thing you need to do is to be literate, and of course, if any of you already have a literacy foundation, you can start learning what I just said. Also, my name is Zhao Hong, you can call me the eldest young master!"
Wu Xin immediately stood up with everyone, stepped forward to salute, and shouted in unison: "My subordinates have seen the eldest young master!"
Mei Yixuan looked at the heartfelt joy on their faces, and couldn't help but nod secretly, feeling that his approach was still desirable.
The reason why they were not allowed to sign the deed of sale was that Mei Yixuan had her own considerations.
What does a deed of sale say, does it mean that those people will follow them with all their hearts and minds from now on?
If it were oneself and he sold his whole life or even the next generation, although he would never have to worry about food and clothing, would he really be willing to do so deep down? Who would be willing to become a slave for several generations? If he had the opportunity to get rid of this identity, would his children and grandchildren not take risks and make a desperate gamble? What is it to betray his master? Even if he asked for her life, he would not hesitate to give it to his children and grandchildren in order to give them a good future!
How many of the minions who signed the death contract willingly signed a contract, and how many of them were truly loyal to their masters?
Therefore, Mei Yixuan thought about it again and again and decided to take a gamble.
Anyway, he had a way to punish those who betrayed him, and he was not worried that someone would flee from him after climbing the high branches, so he boldly chose another way to take them in, which could be regarded as giving them a faint hope.
Hope is always better than despair, for passing the scientific examination to glorify the ancestors, change the court, and get ahead, it is not only the noble and noble families, the Qingliu family diligently pursues, but also the obsession of ordinary people. Even if it is bankrupt and sells children and daughters, it will not hesitate.
What's more, the opportunity is right in front of him, and he has provided them with conditions, as long as they are not too satisfied with the status quo, they will give it a go. As for his benefactor, as long as he is not cold by nature, he will not do anything that will take revenge and be ungrateful.
Of course, even if there is such a person, she is confident that he will reap the consequences and regret it.
Now, he is surrounded by his uncle and Murong Hong's people, and the only person who really belongs to him is Chunlan, and Chunlan is just a subordinate. Minnan Sanjie is barely a person who owes himself a favor, if he asks for them, they will just repay themselves for saving their lives.
The Yao family only likes Yao Fusheng's craftsmanship by herself, and she is not her person who follows her out to beg for a living.
And Xue Bajin, Zhao Erli, Feifeng, Feiyan, Feiming and others, they will definitely be loyal to the original master first, and then themselves. Of course, it's not that these people are not trustworthy, but that the object of loyalty in their bones is not themselves, they just follow the wishes of the original master and follow them temporarily, even if the masters of these people are uncle and Murong Hong, Mei Yixuan does not have the sense of security to be able to control these people.
She wants to cultivate a network that truly belongs to her, so let's start with the group of people in front of her. That's why she didn't sign the deed of sale.
The lowly status is not allowed to take the imperial examination, and the connections she needs are not limited to loyalty, but the need for all-round talents, and loyalty is only the most basic requirement. What she values is the penetration of other fields, not to mention knowing the movements of the court, at least she can know it in her heart.
For these people, she will try her best to teach them martial arts, medical skills, arithmetic, and other things such as reading and literacy, cooking, needlework, etc., she will ask someone else to teach them.
These people, she will gradually subjugate, let them really become her own people, and in the future, she will also be the potential network of her younger brother to enter the official career.
Wu Xin didn't know what Mei Yixuan was secretly planning, he was very excited at this time, and he was secretly glad that he had made the most correct choice.
The reason why he was excited was not only that Mei Yixuan said that they were not slaves and did not sign a deed of sale, and that they did not have to worry about future generations being affected by their lowly status, nor was it Mei Yixuan's promise to let them learn something that could survive and establish the world, but Mei Yixuan's attitude towards them.
When Mei Yixuan faced them, he did not stand tall and invincible, nor did he threaten them with the claim of a benefactor, but talked to them with an equal attitude, which seemed to him to be incredible.
He himself has a deep experience.
He was born from the young master of the Wu family, and was forced to become a meal in the mouth of the wicked, and his life once hung by a thread, and he almost died in Huangquan. The change of identity and the reversal once made him miserable and unable to face the cruel reality!
It was the lives of those who passed away on the island that made him recognize his identity, in front of the absolute strong, he was not as good as an ant, if he wanted not to be bullied, ravaged, trampled on, and live with dignity, he not only wanted to live, but also tried his best to be a strong man, at least stronger than his uncle, and stood taller than him!
In this way, I can have the opportunity to find out the truth about my father's death and my own robbery.
Mei Yixuan didn't know the churning thoughts in Wu Xin's heart, and her attention was focused on these children.
Seeing that these children in front of them are skinny, yellow-skinned, and look like they can't live, but fortunately, after being soaked and nourished by the pool, they have recovered some of their vitality, and at least they can stand and salute themselves.
However, it is still not okay not to eat something, knowing that they may not have eaten for a few days, but there are no ingredients in the space, so Mei Yixuan let each of them drink some space water, which is more nutrient than any food, and they will have a qualitative leap in their physique after drinking, which will be of great help to their martial arts practice in the future.
After that, Mei Yixuan took them to the building to rest.
What they need most at the moment is sleep to recuperate.
Mei Yixuan placed them in the newly added building, but fortunately there were enough rooms, the girls were arranged on the second floor, and the boys were placed on the first floor. After arranging them, Mei Yixuan looked at the time outside and saw that it was almost dawn, so he left the space and returned to his room in the inn.
Anyway, when they come out of space, they don't leave any information about space in their heads. Since they are still very weak, let's stay in the space for a while, and wait for tomorrow to find Ya Po to buy some people, so that they can enrich the newly bought mansion, and then bring them out naturally.
