Chapter 68: The Cripple and the Crutch
Hearing Fan Ming nod, the thin man suddenly smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and stepped forward, "Childe, please come with me, make sure that Childe is satisfied, and there are good goods in Yingtianfu." ”
followed the thin man and walked a long way, and arrived at a shack area near the dock, looking at the bad environment inside, the thin man took the initiative to stop, turned to Fan Ming and said: "Childe, there is some dirt in it, you go to the tea stall over there to sit for a while, and I will take the little lady over to take a look at you." ”
Fan Ming nodded, in fact, he didn't want to buy any little girl, but to feel the life of the people at the bottom of this era in advance for how to gain a foothold in the county.
However, this gray area, even the black area, if he does not come into contact with it personally, his future plans will not go far.
In fact, Fan Ming was also a little curious, and he had the impression that the Great Song Dynasty was very strict with human trafficking, and there was also a redemption system brought forward by the government, and the government paid to redeem the trafficked people and send them back, but many poor families took the initiative to sell their children to others and did not want to send them back, even if they were redeemed by the government, they were sent back again, causing a lot of waste to the government.
I don't know what the situation is in Chuqiu County here.
In fact, Fan Ming's mind is not thinking about this, but on how he can open up a way to make money, these days he has learned a lot from Chen Siliang, basically all the goods in the Great Song Dynasty have implemented a monopoly system.
The others are either public-private partnerships, and if he wants to do something to make money, it is more difficult than the sky.
It was the thin man who reminded him.
If you want to be able to gain a foothold in the county in a short period of time, you must find a unique way and develop a unique business, and the first business he thought of was selling information.
This idea has existed in Fan Ming's mind for more than a day or two, after staying in the countryside for so many days, he can be regarded as realizing the limitations of information blocking in this era, basically information is in the hands of a very small number of people, like these tooth people and businessmen, ordinary people are afraid that they don't even know what happened three miles away.
How did this information come about, that is, it depends on people, and what he lacks most now is people.
According to the direction pointed by the thin man, Fan Ming walked to a tea stall by the city wall and sat down, let the guy serve a bowl of tea, and drank it slowly, while drinking tea Fan Ming casually asked Dr. Tea: "Dr. Tea, who live in this shack, it seems that there are many people." ”
Dr. Tea saw that Fan Ming was dressed as a delicate scholar, and nodded busily and replied: "It's all some broken settlements, and there are outsiders who can't survive, and they come to the dock along the canal to find something to eat, there were more in previous years, and they have been much more deserted in the past two years." ”
Fan Ming nodded, every dynasty has people at the bottom who can't get along, and compared to other dynasties, the Great Song Dynasty is already the happiest and benevolent dynasty.
At least everyone has something to eat, so that they will not starve to death.
Just as he was talking, he saw the thin man walking out with two thin little girls, looking a little flustered, and his steps were a little hurried, leading the two eight or nine-year-old little girls to Fan Ming's face, and said: "Childe, look at how the two little girls are, although they have lost a little weight, this mold is good, and it is very easy to serve people." ”
After saying goodbye to Fan Ming, the thin man pulled the two little girls by the hand, and said with a dark face: "Call Daddy quickly." ”
The two little girls timidly shouted, "Daddy." ”
The two eight or nine-year-old little girls called him a sixteen-year-old father, although they knew that this was a feature of this era, but Fan Ming's heart couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and looked at the two little girls carefully, looking thin and weak, as if the wind could blow it, and they looked completely malnourished.
However, the eyes of the two were very bright, perhaps because they saw the identity of Fan Ming's reader, and the two looked at Fan Ming with a hint of hope in their eyes.
Fan Ming's heart was inexplicably touched, and he had an urge to buy them.
Just as he was about to inquire about the price, he suddenly remembered a thunderous roar in the direction of the shack, and then saw a tall figure limping out of the middle of the shack like an angry lion, followed by a group of ragged little radish heads.
His eyes swept around the crowd, and when he saw the thin man and the two little girls beside him, he suddenly couldn't stop his rage, pointed at him with an iron ruler in his hand and scolded: "Single dog, do you want to die?" ”
Inexplicably, Fan Ming felt that this cripple was a little familiar.
Crippled, tall, and imposing, isn't this the box army fugitive who ate his ten buns last time, what a coincidence!
was yelled at by this fugitive, and the thin man called the single dog shook inexplicably, and replied with a stiff neck: "Cripple, do you want to taste the taste of prison again, there is a kind of move for me to try, I am with Nancheng Shiye, if you dare to touch me, I will sell the group of cubs behind you." ”
Hearing this, although the lame man on the other side was about to split, his movements stopped instantly.
After hesitating for a moment, the lame man pointed to the single dog and shouted: "Give me back Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, promise not to come again in the future, and forget about this matter today." ”
Seeing that the other party was frightened, the single dog instantly became bold again, "Hmph, I'm helping them, finding them a good family, it's better than following you to eat soil in this ghost place, you dead lame don't know how to do it!" ”
Speaking of this, the lame fugitive's inexplicable anger came up again, "You pickled goods, who doesn't know those pickled things, if you really find a good family for Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, I won't say anything, you didn't lie that time, you said that you introduced people to good people, and as a result, you sold people to Goolan Fang." ”
was uncovered, and the single dog was not angry, and smiled, "Cripple, you are really wronged this time, this son is the buyer, do you think this son is not a good person?" ”
Only then did the lame fugitive draw his attention to Fan Minglai, who was sitting and drinking tea not far away, and was stunned, "Engong, why are you?" ”
Fan Ming stood up slightly embarrassed, nodded with a smile, did not answer, just took out dozens of dollars from his arms and threw them into the arms of the single dog, the single dog hurriedly caught it, and lowered his head to pick up the fallen one from the ground.
I only heard Fan Ming speak: "For the sake of your hard work, these will be rewarded for you, and if you make these unclear deals next time, it will not be a reward, but a punishment." ”
The single dog was stunned at first, looked up and saw that Fan Ming's face was wrong, and nodded hurriedly, "Save it, next time I will definitely find a clear hand for my son." ”
