"Second Brother Bai, the brothers have all arranged it in the Chase Shop. I asked the shopkeeper to clean the room and replace the bedding with new ......"

The steward is a prickly hair. Because the trouble last time was too big, it was very likely that he would be retaliated against by others, so now he is often by Qin Bai's side. However, the prickly hair is very careful, and the arrangement along the way is well organized. It saved Qin Bai a lot of heart, he can't look forward to that third brother of the rice bucket, right?

"In the evening, each table is arranged with a fish, a bowl of meat, and a jar of wine, and the tofu is enough." Qin Bai instructed, "There are a few people who are not accustomed to the water and soil to find Langzhong. Hire two more big cars, and let those old people and children go to the car tomorrow. ”

"Huh."

When you're away from home, so many people can't ask too much. Accommodation can only be found in one big car shop. Fortunately, the hostels in this era have a lot of bunks, and dozens of people can sleep together. However, you can pay attention to the aspect of eating, and try to arrange some good dishes and wine.

However, during dinner, there was an accident.

So many people got together to eat and drink, so they were mixed in with a few little beggars. They were so hungry that they grabbed a bowl of braised pork and fled. By the time they were caught, the bowl had already been licked clean, and their mouths were full of oil.

The little beggars were sent to Qin Bai, and they all knelt on the ground honestly. What made Qin Bai strange was that the others all lowered their heads and looked flustered, but the little beggar in the lead looked like he didn't care, and he peeked at Qin Bai a few times from time to time.

Originally, Qin Bai was not prepared to care. He knew that life was difficult, and he and Qin Gao had also begged when they were children. But when I saw the appearance of the little beggar, I was amused in my heart, and I suddenly became interested, "Hehe, what's your name?" How bold are you? ”

"Young master, my name is Xiaoyu. If we are caught, we are unlucky, aren't we just beaten? But please do something, young master, you have a kind heart, this idea is mine, if you want to kill or chop, rush to me! This little beggar named "Xiaoyu", he is completely a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

"Haha?" Qin Bai was happy. Put the little beggars aside for the time being, and deal with the people at the table who were robbed of the braised pork first, "Do you still have faces?" Can't even look at a bowl of meat? How do you usually practice? Defenseless? ”

The person at the table was quite aggrieved, "Second Master Bai, we are kind-hearted, look at these little bastards, so we didn't drive them away." But they are wolf-hearted and robbed us of the things on the table? ”

Laughter sounded, and Qin Bai didn't talk nonsense with them, "I won't deduct your money, and I can arrange a bowl of meat later." But you should know the rules, right? Practice for 10 days, and recognize 100 new words within 10 days. ”

"Oh, Mom!" Complaints rang out one after another, "Second Master Bai, let's recognize it after 10 days of practice, and this learning of words will be exempted, right?" We're not that material at all, and we'd rather be slashed a few times! ”

"Hehe, you're not even afraid of being cut? Are you still afraid of reading and writing? Qin Bai sneered.

"Not really! How about 20 more days? Please, Second Master Bai! ”

"Get out!"

“……”

Finally drove out those ruffians, Qin Bai returned to the little beggars, "Did you hear that?" We have rules here. Tell me for yourself, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, how to punish stealing? ”

This time, even Xiaoyu's face changed. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, stealing is punishable by cutting off a finger at the slightest and cutting off a hand at a heavy cost. But in fact, few people will do this, at most they will grab the fat and beat him.

Unexpectedly, when they met such a ruthless person, those little beggars were so frightened that they cried, and Xiaoyu glared at Qin Bai resentfully, and finally with a hint of begging for mercy in his tone, "Young Master, let us live, right?" We just ate a few pieces of meat. ”

Since he had already begged for mercy, Qin Bai didn't care. Laughing and ordering some food, let the little beggars eat first. Qin Bai casually asked about their experiences.

Unexpectedly, these little beggars were also victims of the winter civil uprising. Although this small popular uprising may only be written in the recital of the imperial court, and it will not even be recorded in the history books at all, the impact on the surrounding area is quite powerful.

At least when the mountain gate was opened, so many new gangs came; Laizhou City also uses work for relief and recruits many migrant workers; Even the salt gang was affected and disrupted, and the Yangzhou salt merchants took advantage of the situation to uproot. I heard that even the banditry is much more lively.

However, for this group of orphans, it was a catastrophe. So Qin Bai smiled and asked, "Are you interested in coming with me?" Will you do some work to raise cattle and feed pigs in the future? I really don't want to, when you grow up, you can still go farming or mining? ”

The little beggars were visibly a little excited. And Qin Gao on the side was gnawing on an oil leg, and when he heard "mining", he immediately raised his head happily, "We have to dig a lot of ore here every day." Hehehe......"

However, Xiao Yu was obviously vigilant, looked up at Qin Bai, and refused in a low voice, "Young master, we still like freedom outside, we don't want to go with you." ”

Iron ore is better, and it is generally mined in open pit. And the coal mine needs to be dug underground. Ancient coal mines did not have tunnels like modern ones, and they were generally very narrow, so a considerable number of mine blacks were child laborers. The main reason is low productivity, there are no mechanical tools, it is easy to dig when it is small, and it becomes time-consuming and laborious when it is large.

Moreover, child labor in this era is not worth anything at all, and a batch can be purchased at will, and there are even more black mine kilns. Therefore, the life of those child laborers is simply miserable, and most of them do not live to adulthood, and they will die and cripple in two or three years at most.

So Qin Gao's explanation caused Xiaoyu's misunderstanding. And his prestige among the little beggars seemed to be very high, although some of the others seemed to be longing, and some were still hazy, but when they heard that Xiaoyu had made a decision, everyone still obeyed this decision.

At this time, Qin Bai just wanted to do a good deed, and he didn't know that there was such a misunderstanding in it. Since the little beggars won't agree, let them go. So when they were full, Qin Bai ordered, "Prickly hair, lead them down!" They will give them all the dry food they can take, and give each person another 100 yuan. ”

The days of begging were very difficult, and the children were already on the table. Anyway, I don't have much money, so let's do good deeds!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu became very surprised, "Young Master, will you just let us go?" ”

"Huh." Qin Bai smiled and nodded, got up and prepared to leave.

"Young master, did you still give us money and food?"

"Huh." Qin Bai waved goodbye, he had to hurry early tomorrow.

Seeing that Qin Bai had already walked to the door, Xiao Yu's eyes struggled for a few seconds. He suddenly shouted, "Young Master, I have something to explain to you!" Wait——! ”
