Section 196 Strange Courtyards

Han Jiang asked Wu Tie if he knew anyone here.

Wu Tie shook his head:

"I don't know, I've heard of it. I used to want to take refuge in the lord, but I confiscated it because it was too lowly, but I took care of them. They all embroidered a blindfolded dog's head with strips of cloth embroidered on their collars, which was still the name given by the old lord back then, and their leaders had good swordsmanship, but they could not see anything at night. ”

A man in his fifties, with all white hair and beard, but still extremely strong, had already rushed out when Wu Tie spoke.

"Little blind dog, this official didn't ask for advice."

Wu Tie didn't answer, but just lit up his waist.

Lin'an Mansion, Wu.

If you don't have this eyesight, the blind dog will also be in the green forest.

In Lin'an Mansion, Wu represents the Wu family, the mother's family of today's Taishang Tainiang.

Wu Tierang to the side and asked Han Jiang to go first.

The blind dog hurriedly caught up: "Please come inside the little official." ”

Qian Kuan nodded at Wu Tie, he didn't expect the Wu family to have such a prestige in the green forest, he originally thought that he would bow his head after he had to overturn a bunch of people.

Han Jiang entered the courtyard, and someone immediately closed the door again.

Han Jiang looked at the courtyard, and at first glance it seemed to be an acrobatic team.

There were vertical brick roads in the courtyard, wooden roads four inches wide, some of which were no more than eight years old, and the little girl who was nine years older was walking over and over again on this thin road with a bowl of water on her head.

There were also boys in the courtyard holding small stone locks or standing with wooden planks on top of them.

Walking towards the inner courtyard, the sound of reading began to be heard.

Han Jiang deliberately went to the outside of the two rooms and looked in from the window, nodded silently, and probably understood what kind of place this was.

But the reason why Qian Broadband came here by himself, Han Jiang has not guessed.

Entering the main hall and sitting down, Wu Tie stood under Han Jiang and asked, "Blind dog, this is your place?" ”

"No, I'm just guarding this place for someone. The people who contribute and manage the affairs here are not big names on the ground in Yangzhou, but they have a little money. It's nothing in Lin'an, so what do you tell the little ones to do. ”

Wu Tie didn't know why he came here, and naturally he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Han Qian is even more confused, what's so good about this place?

Han Jiang spoke: "Make a price, I want everyone here." ”

Hearing Han Jiang's words, a hint of joy appeared on Qian Kuan's face.

The blind dog's voice was much lower: "Petty officials, it's not a small offense, these people's deeds can cost a lot of money." ”

"Money, haha." Han Qian sat next to him and smiled.

"It takes 3,000." The blind dog added.

Han Jiang nodded at Wu Tie, Wu Tie said: "In the past few days, my young gentleman has two sea boats coming to Yangzhou, blind dog, you pick a hundred good hands to protect the boat for my young monarch, and by the way, put the objects on the boat to the place we picked, and then guard it." ”

"Yes, yes. The small ones must be done well. ”

"Two boats of money, not much, that is, more than 200,000 yuan."

The blind dog was stunned.

In the Great Song Dynasty, whoever dared to transport money on the whole ship, once convicted by the government of wanting to smuggle money outside, the money would be confiscated and killed.

The Wu family, is there such a big force now?

Money, except for official transportation, the rest of the people can only use inland river boats, and each time the government reports for transportation, the upper limit is one million yuan. It is absolutely impossible to use a sea vessel, and once it is used, it means that it is possible to smuggle coins.

According to the law of the Song Dynasty, a smuggler can be exiled for 50,000 yuan and killed for 100,000 yuan.

Han Jiang waved his hand, and Wu Tie said, "Blind dog go down to do something." ”

"Yes, yes."

The blind dog is just a small person who relies on guarding the caravan, doing a small business of money, secretly selling a little illicit salt, and organizing a hundred or so people, compared with Fang Tu, that is, the level of a minion.

Fang Tu himself still has a boat and a carriage.

After the blind dog went out, Han Qian asked, "Uncle, I don't understand. ”

Han Jiang said: "This is indeed a kind of business, and I don't know if this kind of business is legal, because I am not proficient in Song law." This business is to sign contracts with many children from homeless families, and then give various trainings from an early age. When you are about the same age, sell the contract. ”

"Deed of sale?" Han Qian is also a famous family no matter what he says, and he doesn't know what this kind of inferior person does.

Han Jiang explained: "It is to sell the contract and sell it to a large family as a maid and a servant. Some people with particularly good qualifications should go to the building to serve wine in the library or in the courtyard. ”

Han Jiang understood correctly, the Song Dynasty did not have slaves, but there were also contracts.

This is like the thin horse of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it can be a little more advanced than a skinny horse.

After all, it is teaching people literacy, painting, and music. Then it is also trained in gait, standing, etc.

It can't be said to be a skinny horse, it should belong to the training ground of high-level domestic servants or high-end buildings, but there are many compulsions, and corporal punishment is the norm.

Han Qian didn't understand even more: "Uncle, even if that's the case, do you need to buy these?" ”

Han Jiang glanced at Qian Kuan: "Qian Kuan wants me to buy it." ”

Hearing Han Jiang's words, Qian Kuan took a step forward and knelt on one knee: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one just hopes that Shaojun will make a move, and this yard is just that, the brothers in the army can't bear it, when most of the dolls here are brought here, it's just a few liters of rice." Poor or rich. ”

Han Jiang understood.

In the Song Dynasty, the custom of the two lakes was to drown babies, and after two men and one woman in the family, they would be reborn into the water.

The rich are not poor because they are poor.

Sometimes, when the rich family is old and has children, the eldest brother is the first to be unwilling, because he will divide the family property, so Qian Kuan said, whether it is poor or rich. This is not a matter of poverty, but under various contradictions, such an industry has been born.

Han Jiang asked: "What if someone suddenly becomes rich and wants to take the child back?" ”

Qian Kuan replied: "A million profits." ”

Han Jiang asked again: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Qian Kuan was still kneeling on one knee: "I don't know, I just hope that Shaojun will come and take a look." The small one is also for the young monarch, and in the Huainan East Road Army, eighty percent of them are reformed people, and the north has the customs of the north. If the young gentleman can do something, he can return to the heart of a righteous person. How can I take a part of it? ”

"Yes." Han Jiang believed that Qian Kuan was indeed thinking about himself.

If you take in poor children who can't afford to raise them, or who want to be killed because of various customs, and whose parents can't bear to kill, you can indeed buy people's hearts.

Han Jiang said to Han Si: "Tell me, get me a piece of land outside Lin'an City, and I will set up a Salesian Hospital." Collect the abandoned orphans in the world, and then arrange for someone to publicize it, our Han family is dedicated to goodness, it's time to take the money out and do some good deeds. ”

Han Si shuddered with fright: "Shaojun, this, I'm afraid it will take countless money and food." ”

Han Jiang glanced at Han Si: "It's used to make money." ”

Han Si stepped forward: "Shaojun, if you sell contracts, you are afraid that you will be ridiculed or blamed by the world." ”
