Chapter 178 Slaves
As soon as Hall Master Liu heard this, he knew that Chunyu had agreed, so he asked Chunyu with a smile: "What does the girl want to discuss?" ”
"It's a personnel problem...... Chunyu hesitated to speak, she didn't want to use the people of their White Tiger Hall directly, she was afraid that others wouldn't dare to sit on them pulling the car.
"There was a small riot in Shandong some time ago, and the girl is afraid that she doesn't know." Hall Master Liu listened to Chunyu's words, and suddenly turned his head to talk about this, but Chunyu was stunned.
"We are just rural people, and we come to the capital to make a living with a few assets, and we are a little too busy to take care of ourselves, where can we care about these things." However, Chunyu quickly adjusted, and said embarrassedly.
"The girl is a little arrogant, it's amazing that a girl's family of yours can come to this capital to do business." Hearing this, Hall Master Liu shook his head with a smile, and then continued: "The riots in Shandong are just a trivial matter, there was a drought there last year, the peasants had no harvest, and the government did not have time to solve it. So a man took the lead to lead two middle-aged people in the village to rob the official grain on the official road, but then the matter became big, and the governor of Shandong had to report to the imperial court, and the official family allocated relief grain. This matter is settled, but the dozens of strong men and their families who robbed the grain will be escorted to the capital for trial. ”
Liu Tang didn't finish speaking, but looked at Chunyu, waiting for her to ask.
"Hall Master Liu, you said half of this, please forgive me for being a little stupid and not understanding what I heard." Chunyu secretly wondered what this Liu Hall Master meant by saying this, so she looked at Zhang Huzi again.
Zhang Huzi had always only listened and didn't speak at first, but now after listening to what Hall Master Liu said so much, plus the news he usually heard, he understood a little.
He whispered to Chunyu: "Those mobs were taken to the capital for trial just under the guise of trying people in other areas to watch the riots happen. You can't let it go just because the law doesn't hold the people accountable. Together with their families, they were stripped of their household registration and sentenced to slavery, and they had to be sold into the capital to do hard labor. ”
"......" Chunyu felt quite pitiful when she heard it, but she still didn't understand the intention of Hall Master Liu telling her this.
Zhang Huzi also vaguely guessed, but he couldn't be sure, so he didn't explain to Chunyu anymore, and just waited for Hall Master Liu to continue.
When he explained to Chunyu just now, Zhang Huzi whispered. But Hall Master Liu also heard the general words.
He smiled appreciatively at Zhang Huzi. Then he said: "Brother Huzi is right, those mobs and their families were reduced to slaves and distributed by the yamen of Gyeonggi. Many families were afraid of these mobs and sold them again. There are many slaves who have not yet been left behind, and they are all in the hands of Ya Shops or Ya Po everywhere. The main force of our White Tiger Hall is in this capital, so those rich families who resell slaves. They all put the slaves who couldn't turn their hands in the tooth shop of our church, and now there are a lot of slaves. ”
Spring rain is completely understood. This Liu Tang Master actually wants to use these slaves in the place, and save them from being unable to sell them and stay for white rice.
Thinking of this, Chunyu couldn't help but sigh again at the evil feudal society, as a slave has no human rights, and is basically just a tool that can speak. She had read an article in college before. It is said that the changes of the slavery system in ancient times, and in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of people were bought and sold and the pressure of the people's survival, and the flood of indulgence and money worship. and the laxity of laws in the Ming Dynasty are closely related.
And those who buy and sell on their own are just slaves and maids. If you have money and can redeem yourself, you don't count as a slave. Thinking that these people who have been convicted and reduced to slaves, I am afraid that in addition to making great achievements in the future, they will be slaves for the rest of their lives or even for generations.
"Hall Master Liu, I don't know how many slaves there are in your hall?" Chunyu then asked.
"There are quite a few, about thirty or forty. Moreover, those slaves were all resold separately by the original towing family, and now there are also families and scattered ones, but the girl can rest assured that there are a few children there, but there are no old ones. Hall Master Liu said with a smile that if he solved the problem of these slaves, he would definitely be rewarded if he reported to the gang. After all, the Yamen is also staring at the problem of these slaves, and they can no longer pay attention to this matter as soon as it is solved.
"Even if we drive a car dealership, we can't take in so many people." Chunyu said with some hesitation, the car dealer needs people, but it doesn't need so much.
"The girl didn't know, these slaves only needed to be fed, and nothing else had to be bothered. And most of these slaves are young and middle-aged, and they can be allowed to pull the cart, and as for the other women and children, the girls can take some of them as maids and wives at home, and if they really don't think it is possible, we will sell them separately. Hall Master Liu said busily.
"That...... Let's wait until we see it. After Chunyu finished speaking, he asked about buying a house again.
Hall Master Liu said that just leave it to him, and he will give Chunyu an answer tomorrow.
Chunyu and Zhang Huzi chatted with Hall Master Liu for a while, then got up and prepared to go back, but Hall Master Liu still sent them out very enthusiastically.
When he got to the door, the Lord of Luomen, who was waiting outside, saw that Hall Master Liu had personally sent the two of them out of the house, and he was even more happy that he had thought right, and this time he really pressed the right treasure.
"Spring rain girl, Brother Huzi, are you leaving?" Lord Rohmon hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"yes, it's better to have more Lord Rohmon to lead the way." Chunyu also said with a smile.
"Where, where? We are also old acquaintances, and Miss Spring Rain doesn't have to be polite. Lord Luo said, but he mentioned them again that they were old acquaintances, just so that Master Liu could hear it.
He saw that Chunyu and they were ready to leave, and after they said goodbye to Hall Master Liu, he sent Chunyu and the others out.
Then after seeing the spring rain and they went downstairs and out of the door, they hid their smiles and returned to the hall on the third floor with a stern face.
"They're gone, but what do you need to order?" Lord Rohmon asked busily.
"Hmph, you have done a good deed this time, you can listen to Steward Zhang's orders, I have already explained to him, you had better hurry up and get things done, otherwise you won't come back to Baihutang." After Hall Master Liu finished speaking, he returned to the inner room.
"Don't worry, hall master." Lord Rohmon hurriedly replied.
Waiting for Hall Master Liu to enter the inner hall, Steward Zhang slowly spoke: "It's really a good thing this time, you go, those houses on Yuyou Street in You'anmen are useful, you go and think of a way to knock and knock first, and wait for the hall master and the spring rain girl to go to see it tomorrow, and quickly take it at a cheap price." ”
"Yes, please let Steward Zhang rest assured that Luo Wu will definitely handle this matter." After the Lord smiled and finished speaking, he left in a hurry and went back to think of a way. (To be continued.) )
