Chapter 5 Fu Jiang Cheng Bites Gold?
"This?"
Seeing such a chaotic scene, Meng Fan, who had been an earthling, frowned without a trace, but he was soon relieved.
This is a parallel world similar to the Great Sui,
Yang Jian, the lord of Sui, Yang Yong, the crown prince, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, Gao Gong, the prime minister, and so on, all the people and things seem to be exactly the same as the Great Sui on the earth.
In this way, it is normal to buy and sell slaves in disguise.
And once these slaves sell themselves into the compound, they will become the people of the compound forever.
Even the cheeks are marked as slaves.
Unless one day their master is kind, it will be possible to abolish slavery.
To put it mildly, it is a human market, but to put it badly, there is no essential difference from the previous slave trade, but it is a different way of saying it.
"By the way, how do you calculate the cost of these slaves?"
Coming back to his senses, Meng Fan looked at the broker.
"Meng Gongzi, that's the case, they have already told us about the salary or something, you just need to look at the person! Which one you like, I will tell you his conditional salary! After the matter is completed, you only need to give me two taels of silver per person!"
"Two taels per person, so expensive?"
Hearing this, Gao Ruyan subconsciously exclaimed.
In the Great Sui, the annual expenses of ordinary people are only seven or eight taels, and this broker actually asks for two taels when he opens his mouth, which is really not cheap.
That's not counting the salary, it's just the introduction fee.
Of course, wages can be adjusted later, some will rise and some will be deducted.
"The third lady doesn't know, it's not easy to do in the human market now, this batch of refugees are all received from Qizhou Mansion.... Two taels is already for the sake of the county lord's face, if it is someone else, at least three taels are needed..."
"Xianggong, don't forget it, we're on the other side of the mansion...."
Gao Ruyan flinched a little.
She really didn't want her father-in-law's ten taels of silver to be spent like this.
"It's okay, as long as there are better slaves, not to mention two taels per person, even five taels per person will have to be spent! The slaves of my Meng Mansion will definitely not be worse than those of Gao Mansion in the future!"
Meng Fan motioned to Gao Ruyan not to worry.
On the one hand, he was telling the truth, anyway, the Meng Mansion would definitely surpass the Gao Mansion in the future, everything, including the slaves.
In addition, if you don't spend all the ten taels of silver every day, what will you do after three months?
"Xianggong, then it's up to you......."
Looking at Meng Fan's firm eyes and calm demeanor, Gao Ruyan was a little intoxicated in an instant.
She really likes this kind of husband!
"Let's go check it out!"
Then, under the leadership of the broker, Meng Fan continued to walk out of the depths of the alley, and by the way, he also introduced the general situation of some slaves.
"Huh, what's going on with that?"
Walking and walking, Meng Fan found that when many slaves pounced,
At the end of the alley, a round-faced young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old remained unmoved, still carefully waiting for a woman beside him.
His expression was extremely focused, as if he hadn't seen them.
"He? alas, don't mention it, his name is Cheng Yilang also known as Biting Jin, I don't know where his ancestral home is, he fled to Qizhou Mansion more than ten years ago, and now he has come to Licheng again!"
It seemed that he had known that Meng Fan would ask the young man, and the broker immediately replied.
"Cheng Yilang?"
If you don't listen, Meng Fan's eyes widened instantly.
What's the situation?
Cheng Yanjin is a well-known figure on the earth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a household name.
Is he who?
Thinking about it, Meng Fan was about to go to the end of the alley to see what was going on.
"Alas, Meng Gongzi, don't look at it! That Cheng Jin's requirements are too high, and several big families in front of him also want to buy him, but they really can't accept his conditions! You might as well look at the others!"
"What conditions?
"He has to pay ten taels a year, and he also has to bring it with the lord's family and his sick wife, and the old lady cannot work after entering the lord's house.... You say, who recruits such a slave? This requires a slave, obviously it is the master!"
"That's not all, that guy doesn't have a good temper, and he will take out a plate axe from time to time....."
At the mention of the young man, there was a hint of resentment in the broker's tone, and there were several big deals that ended up being ruined by that guy.
"Plate axe?"
Hearing this, Meng Fan was almost certain that he should be the legendary Cheng Yanjin.
On the earth, Cheng Yanjin was born in Qizhou and fled to Licheng when he was a teenager, and isn't this Licheng, isn't the weapon he uses the Xuanhua axe?
It's all on the right track!
"That's it, take his contract, and tell him that I'll grant all his requests!"
Without saying a word, Meng Fan directly threw ten taels of silver to the broker.
This level of talent is not to say two taels, even 20,000 taels are not a loss!
"What.....? Okay, okay! The little one is going to tell Cheng to bite the gold, Er Niu, and bring the paperwork for the bite of the gold!"
Meng Fan was happy, and the broker was even happier.
He really didn't expect a pair of money-losing goods to be sold like this!
......
So, after a few sticks of incense, Meng Fan and the broker completed all the formalities, and the speed was unprecedented.
"Young Master Meng, you and the third lady wait a minute, I'll call him to you!"
The broker got four taels of silver and ran to the end of the alley!
"Cheng Biting Jin, you have a master, hurry up and bring your mother over......"
"Master, can you really help my mother heal? If you can, my life is yours!
So, it didn't take long for
The young man stood in front of Meng Fan with his mother on his back.
Listening to his tone, it seems that it doesn't matter if you are a slave or not, the important thing is to be able to cure his mother's illness.
It's been two months since I came to Licheng, and I really can't put it off any longer.
Before, those masters would come over and scold him every time they heard his request, but Meng Fan accepted this condition,
Young people can't be grateful.
"Are you Cheng Yilang Cheng Biting Gold?"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, I'll get the best doctor!"
After that, Meng Fan handed over two taels of silver,
"Let's go to the medicine hall to find a doctor first, and then come to the Meng Mansion tomorrow to find me!"
For such talents, Meng Fan is really relieved.
Even if Cheng Yanjin ran away with a few taels of silver, he would not regret it.
Because Meng Fan didn't want to be the king and hegemon when he came to this world, he only had one small goal at the moment was to surpass Gaofu and overwhelm his eldest aunt Sima Yuntian and second aunt Wu Zhe.
In the future, Cheng Biting Jin is developed, maybe he can still make a good fate.
"This...."
Cheng Biting Jin's eyes instantly reddened, it was the first time he had seen such a master, and he instantly recognized Meng Fan as the master.
Just when Meng Fan handed over the silver, a voice sounded in his mind,
"Good luck from the sky: Treat Cheng Biting Jin's mother, and after success, reward yourself with two attribute points, one thousand taels of silver, and at the same time obtain Cheng Biting Jin's permanent allegiance!"
"Huh?"
If you don't listen, you will think, and when you hear it, Meng Fan was stunned.
That sounds like a good thing, but what the hell is a reward of 1,000 taels of silver?
Doesn't that mean that his task of spending money is heavy again?
