Chapter 100: Preparations for the Future
Seeing the guests come in with the guards of the Guogong Mansion, the shopkeeper sent the little servant down and came to receive him in person, "The contemptible surname is Zhu, what kind of objects does Miss have a fancy, our Xinlong Auction House has countless rare treasures, and the price is the most fair." ”
"Can the shopkeeper Zhu take a step to speak?" Yingle looked at the middle-aged man with a short beard in front of him, and deliberately patted the bamboo basket covered with a cloth towel in his arms with both hands.
"Oh......" Zhu Zhang wiped his short beard, smiled in understanding, and took Yingle upstairs to the private room, and the two guards waited outside the door.
The moment I untied the cloth with my own hands, all the gadgets I bought before in the bamboo basket were gone, and a pair of shining red coral trees appeared.
"This ......" The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened, such a colorful and huge coral tree, he could count the number of times he had seen it on one hand over the years.
The two bargained, and finally the pair of red coral trees were sold at a price of 8,000 taels of silver each, and with 16,000 taels of silver tickets in his hand, Yingle was about to leave Xinlong Auction House, but stopped when he turned around.
According to the shopkeeper, if the coral trees were to be auctioned at auction, they would definitely be sold for more than 10,000 taels each.
However, this Zhu shopkeeper is not adulterated in business, willing to tell her the truth, she rarely comes to Zhou City, it is better to get more silver, now that the sky is clear, the matter of building a house in Baihu Mountain should also be put on the agenda, it is not okay to build a house with less money, let alone she wants to build a castle.
Jade hand touched the shoulder bag around her waist, Yingle took out a pair of pink pearls the size of pigeon eggs, the previous white pearls and the best black pearls were handed over to Xiaoyu, and she only had this pink pearl on her body.
After getting the silver, Yingle asked the two guards to lead the way into a tooth shop, and found someone to come over, wanting to buy some people, according to her requirements, people Yazi picked and chose from east to west, and soon found a few rows of suitable candidates and brought them to the backyard open space for Yingle to choose at will.
In these days, wars are frequent, snow disasters have just passed, many people can't get by, selling children and daughters has become a common thing, seeing the guards behind Yingle, people guess that the identity of the person is unusual, and they are full of effort to choose the best goods to come over, and they hope to make a big business.
"Villain Ge Yi, I have been working in the tooth shop for more than ten years, what kind of person does Miss want to buy, it is right to come to find the villain." Ge Zhongren's cheeks are thin, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are shrewd and calculating, and his speech is oily and smooth, looking sleek and sophisticated.
What you need to do in this line of work is to be able to speak well, Ge Yi's flattery and Yingyingle didn't take it to heart, as long as she can buy the right person, she will not be stingy with money.
Seeing that Yingle didn't speak, only left his eyes on the rows of people standing in the courtyard, Ge Yi hurriedly said: "Miss, please see, the first five in this row are selected according to your requirements to be good at cooking, and the remaining five are either medical, or medicine, or literate, or female celebrities are outstanding."
There are ten people in the second row who can write and calculate, some who can make wine and weave bamboo baskets and bamboo mats, and then there are masons who can build houses on walls; There are ten people in the third row who can raise silkworms and weave cloth, some have planted medicine fields, and some have waited in flower beds in large households. ”
After Ge Zhongren introduced all the people who were willing to sign the death deed, he deliberately pointed to the two people next to him and said: "These two are the jade carving master and garden design master that you have specially explained, Miss, the villain has found all the Chinese people who are familiar with the whole tooth line, and only singled out these two people, because of their outstanding craftsmanship, they are unwilling to sign the death deed." ”
When Ge Yi said this, he secretly poked and raised his eyes to look at Yingle, lest the gold lord in front of him throw his sleeves and leave in anger, and even refused to buy the thirty people he introduced before.
Although this result is not satisfactory, but it is also expected in Yingle, after all, since ancient times, people who are proud of their talents abound, and people with ability are naturally more arrogant than ordinary people, if it is not for wars and natural disasters, how can such people be willing to submit to fate.
In the end, those who were over forty-five years old and underage were sold at the price of ten taels of silver each, and the remaining twenty were in the prime of life, each of whom was sold at the price of thirty taels of silver, plus the last two who refused to sign the death deed, bought them back at the price of one hundred taels each, and each signed a contract for five years.
In the end, a total of nine hundred taels of silver, Ying Le simply took out another one hundred taels, and asked Ge Zhongren to select some ordinary maids and servants, it doesn't matter if there is skill or not, the most important thing is to be smart, diligent and loyal.
After the silver was cleared, looking at the dozens of people she bought, the old ones, the small ones, and even the ones who dragged their families, the whole family was bought by her, Yingle held her forehead and made it difficult, where should she place these people.
Eyes swept to Ge Zhongren standing next to him, Yingle planned to buy another grange to temporarily house these people, although she asked Xiaoyu to help buy a field shop before, but it did not prevent her from immediately buying a ready-made one to use first.
