Chapter 182, a word shocked everyone
Cheng Chubi didn't care about everyone's surprised eyes, and ran around the Internet café by himself, practicing the light skills taught to him by Li Chuan.
Since the last armor, Cheng Chubi has to tie many small iron sand bags to his body every day to increase his weight.
So he's still having a hard time running at this point. But this kid didn't complain, gritted his teeth, and endured it silently.
Everyone watched for a while, not knowing what he was doing, and didn't bother to care about him, and threw themselves on their computers in various ways.
The Internet café here is hot, and the situation in Lichuan seems to be good.
Following Cheng Yanjin, Li Chuan came to a house not far from the Time Sea Internet Cafe, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a pile of cloth placed in the middle of the courtyard.
And next to the pile of cloth stood a group of a dozen or so tailors, making clothes. The Tang Dynasty did not have those lighting tools in later generations, just a kerosene lamp, and in winter, the sun was hiding behind the clouds, and what could be seen clearly.
Therefore, the tailors all take advantage of the daytime to work in the courtyard.
Li Chuan was still in the corner of the yard, on a simple drying rack supported by a few wooden sticks and bamboo poles, and saw more than a dozen sets of clothes.
are the styles that Li Chuan picked out at the beginning.
"Tut-tut." Li Chuan approached and praised in his mouth, "Lao Cheng, reliable!" It's beautifully made. ”
The tailors of the Tang Dynasty may not have much knowledge and do not have the same ideas as the clothing designers of later generations, but their level of making clothes is indeed high.
Li Chuan also deliberately came closer to watch, and he couldn't see the stitches at all, and this set of clothes seemed to be natural. The size and collocation of each place are also handled very well, and the style is exactly the same as in "Dream Dance".
"Amazing!"
Li Chuan couldn't help but praise, and Cheng Yanjin was also very happy to hear it, and glanced at the tailors in the yard with satisfaction.
"Be rewarded!" Li Chuan shouted.
Cheng Yanjin also said: "Reward! 100 dollars per person! ”
With a wave of his big hand, he motioned to the butler behind him to step forward and give money.
"Master Xie Guogong, Elder Xie Xian!" A group of tailors hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, with joy on their faces.
Li Chuan looked at this scene, a little dumbfounded, pointed to the tailors kneeling on the ground, and asked Cheng Yanjin: "Old Cheng, you are also stingy, right, just reward them with such a little?" ”
When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was stunned and said in surprise: "A hundred dollars is a lot!" ”
"What kind of money is a hundred pennies, reward silver." Li Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's reward one hundred taels per person!" ”
Forehead drops are obedient! Cheng Yanjin heard Li Chuan's words, and almost stumbled and fell on the ground.
Even the tailors kneeling on the ground looked at Li Chuan in astonishment, wondering if their ears had heard it wrong.
The scene fell silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little eeriely awkward.
After a while, Cheng Biting Jin pulled Li Chuan and said, "Boss Li, this group of them, all added together, is only one hundred taels of silver." ”
leaned closer to Li Chuan's ear, and continued: "These people are all craftsmen of the previous dynasty, after being captured, they were entered into the lowly register, and their children and grandchildren served in the general as a prison for life, not to mention the salary, some eat, some live, and they are very good."
When I came to be a prisoner, I bought them all for a hundred pieces of silver.
They are all their own slaves, and if they are rewarded with a hundred deni, they will be happy for a month, and if they are rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, they themselves should not be able to sleep.
A hundred dollars is just right, but it's too much. ”
After listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Chuan looked at the group of kneeling slaves in front of him thoughtfully.
After all, it was the Internet café that blinded his eyes, this is not the afterlife, not the society where cats, mice and dogs can live in harmony together.
This is the Tang Dynasty, a feudal society, a "cannibalistic" society, and many people do not have so-called human rights.
Even the right to survive is in the hands of others.
Just like the group of people in front of him, if Cheng Yanjin wants to kill them, he will kill them, anyway, they are Cheng Yanjin's private property.
As Li Chuan, who has crossed over from later generations, his worldview is still in later generations, and he is still a little caught off guard by this cruel social phenomenon.
Whether it's hypocrisy or anything, he just looks at the group of people in front of him and feels pitiful.
They didn't do anything wrong, they just didn't give birth well......
thought about it a lot in a mess, and finally Li Chuan had to admit that this was the reality of feudal society, and he, a weak individual, could not overturn this gradually maturing social system.
He is not so arrogant as to think that he has crossed over, and with the system, he can knead the world wantonly; He has not yet reached the "saint" to free the slaves of the whole world, to break the backward feudalism, and to bring more creative capitalism or Marxism-Leninism to the Tang Dynasty.
He doesn't have such big dreams, he's ordinary, he's ordinary.
But looking at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, he felt that it was still good that he might change the fate of these people.
Thinking of this, Li Chuan said to Cheng Yanjin: "These tailors have good skills, Lao Cheng, you have found a treasure." ”
Cheng Yanjin smiled after hearing this, and said with some pride: "Hehe, that's it, my old Cheng personally went to the door, and he would dare not give face to the prison, and obediently arranged a group of craftsmen with the best craftsmanship for me." ”
In the end, Cheng Yanjin leaned into Li Chuan's ear and whispered: "These people are all the ones who made clothes for the palace in the previous dynasty." ”
Li Chuan looked at the group of tailors in surprise, no wonder the craftsmanship is so exquisite, it turned out to be for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, which is equivalent to the current cutting-edge level.
Nodding, Li Chuan said to Cheng Yanjin: "Old Cheng, do you want to make the 'Time Sea High-end Clothing' business bigger and stronger, let our clothes be popular all over the country, and let the women and concubines of those high-ranking officials in the current dynasty wear our clothes one by one and earn all the silver in the world!" ”
Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if there was a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, just waiting for him to dig it!
Hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
"Then you'll have to listen to me."
"Listen! Boss Li, whatever you say is what you say, I'll listen to you! ”
After getting Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Chuan took two steps forward, walked to the group of tailors, and said softly.
"Do you want to regain your freedom?"
“……?” A group of people looked at him again in astonishment, but they didn't react.
Cheng Yanjin also looked at Li Chuan puzzled, but he didn't speak, since he had already promised someone, there was no reason to regret it at all.
Li Chuan, who had been waiting for the tailors to answer "yes" after speaking, did not see the expected situation.
Looking at the stunned crowd, a little embarrassed, he rubbed his nose gently, and then pointed to the clothes on the drying rack on the side, and said, "Who made the clothes on the edge?" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes looked at a thin little old man.
The little old man's body shook, his eyes swept over Li Chuan, and he immediately lowered his head, and replied with some trembling: "Yes, it was made by the little old man." ”
Li Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that dress is very beautiful, I like it very much, so ......"
After a pause, waiting for everyone's eyes to focus on him, he continued, "I have decided to remove your lowly status and restore your freedom. ”
One word shocked everyone.
