Chapter 141: Marriage
"Zhang Shiling, let's set up a city ticket!" Luo Chengdao.
Zhang Shiling nodded again and again, the slave trade in the Sui Dynasty must be a market ticket, which is equivalent to a trading contract. The contract may be issued by the market management department and shall consist of seven parts.
In addition to the identity of the buyer, guarantor and slave, it is also necessary to cover the results of the audit of the government office, the official office of the issuing officer, and the executive officer.
Compared with the cattle and horses bought and sold in the same market, the slave trade is still a little more special, and the name and age of the slave must be registered on the market note, and the source of the slave must also be indicated to prevent illegal slave trade.
The city order is written on the spot.
At the beginning is the name of the buyer Luo Cheng, and the seller at the back is Zhangqiu County Ya. Then write the names of the sold slave Zhang Huaixian and his wife and children at the end.
After finishing, the city commander asked in a low voice, "County lieutenant, dare to ask who the guarantor is?" ”
To buy a slave, you must have a voucher, and you must have a guarantor, and there must be five guarantors. These harsh conditions were designed to ensure the legality and controllability of the slave trade.
It is not difficult to find five guarantors, the Luo family is willing to be a guarantor, so after the name of Zhang Huaixian's family, the names of the five guarantors of the Luo family are written.
In the end, the city order personally asked Zhang Huaixian, "Is it worthwhile?" ”
In front of everyone, Zhang Huaixian nodded a little painfully.
"Open your mouth and answer, yes or no?" The city order asked again.
Zhang Huaixian had no choice but to reply, "Yes." ”
This link is an important part of the review of the official office, that is, the question is not false. It means that if you want to ask the person being sold in person whether she is a slut slave or maid, he must answer in person that he is a slut.
This link is also to prevent the beloved from being illegally bought and sold, as long as the person being sold does not recognize himself as a slut in front of the government, then the source of the slave's identity must be re-examined.
The identity of the slave is registered in detail in the government, as the so-called household registration register of slaves and maids, one year old, one year old, one household registration, the county is registered in the state, the state is submitted to the province, and the household department is in charge. The nationality of the state and county, the permanent stay is five ratios, and the provincial nationality is nine ratios, and all public and private good and cheap are known for a week.
The government has registered the household register, the hand, and the ninth class of the book, which can be checked by each other, and it must be kept in the household department for 27 years, so it is impossible to be false at all.
After registration, Zhang Huaixian personally signed and pressed his fingerprint, and then the municipal office stamped the official seal and signed.
A market bill for the slave trade was officially established.
With this city ticket, Luo Cheng only needs to register with the government, and then he can legally own this family of slaves and maids. In the future, there will be a registration of the government, even if Zhang Huaixian escapes, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the government, they will flee to the ends of the earth, and they are still slaves registered by the government, or fugitive slaves, and they will be returned to Luo Cheng once they are arrested.
Another county official, Liu Sihuhu, was a clerk of Sihu Cao, who was also newly replaced after the purge, and he also signed it on behalf of the slave sellers.
Zhang Huaixian's family has a total of five people, one boy and one girl and three children, but the price is extremely cheap.
That's a total of twenty dollars.
This price is simply half bought and half given, originally a strong man is worth at least two or three horses, and a young and beautiful woman may be worth more, but after all, Luo Cheng is a county lieutenant, so the discount is discounted, the last person is counted as ten, and the three children are included.
Dad personally picked it out, and finally found some craftsmen who knew how to do it, and he bought ten people, which were selected for the Luo family's blacksmith shop.
Before Luo Cheng, he asked his father to engage in tertiary production in the military camp and engaged in a blacksmith business, both weapons and civilian ironware. The first batch of products chose an iron pot, which was not an ordinary old-fashioned iron pot, but a saucer-shaped iron pot that was convenient for frying and frying, which was the iron pot style commonly used in later generations.
This kind of iron pot is not an ordinary production port, and it is aimed at the high-end market of those large households. After all, ordinary people can't even afford an iron pot, let alone a wok.
But rich people are more particular about eating.
The craftsmanship of the saucer-shaped iron pot is not difficult, Lao Luo is an old blacksmith, Luo Cheng said, he pondered and played it. The first batch of iron pots in the market responded well, and now the orders are endless, but the output is too low.
Now Daddy Luo plans to expand production capacity, and the Luo family's own blacksmith shop will also open again, so that both public and private are correct.
·······
The official residence of the backyard of the county government.
Zhang Yichen sat in the study sullenly.
kindly accepted the informant as a righteous daughter, and then entrusted Juncheng as a matchmaker to propose to Luo Cheng's son, who knew that this kid actually refused.
It's like a hammer hitting the head.
"Father, I'm still angry about Luo Wu's affairs, beware of being angry."
Zhang Runniang came in with a bowl of white fungus soup.
"Runniang, this kid is really angry with me, and I'm very shameless."
"Dad, Luo Wu is a stunned young man, why do you have to be like him. He didn't agree, because he didn't know how to lift. ”
"Hey, if my father's old face is lost, I will lose it, but I'm afraid that the informant is very sad."
"The line girl is really sad, she gritted her teeth and scolded Luo Wu for several days, and her eyes were swollen from crying, I think she really likes Luo Wu a long time ago, who would have thought that Luo Wu didn't know how to lift."
"I'm sorry for the informant, this thing is like this."
"Forget it, just go back and find another one for the informant."
"Hmm."
After chatting with her daughter for a while, Zhang Yichen asked her to go back and comfort the red line.
Sitting alone in the study, Zhang Yichen carefully recalled Luo Cheng's person.
In just a few months, this kid has risen very quickly. I originally wanted to train it well, but now it seems that this kid is disobedient. However, after making some achievements in suppressing bandits, he became so arrogant.
Originally, he planned to promote the Luo family, and wanted Luo Siye and Luo Cunxiao brothers to serve as judicial assistants of the county government, but now it seems that there is no need.
Uncontrolled guys, it's better not to lift up too much.
He turned his head and thought of his daughter's head again.
This time, he took his informant as a righteous daughter, and wanted to marry her to Luo Cheng, and his daughter's marriage was also mentioned in the middle. She confessed to herself that she liked Qin Qiong in Licheng.
This thing is very amazing, you must know that the affairs of the children are all the words of the parents and the matchmaker, when the woman is in charge. Especially since their Zhang family is still a famous scholar family, this kind of thing is even more impossible.
But he does dote on this daughter, and Qin Qiong is also a talent.
was a little hesitant before, but now that Luo Cheng rejected the informant, Zhang Yichen really thought about his daughter's thoughts.
"Qin Qiong, Licheng Qin family."
The Qin family in Licheng is also a famous scholar family in Qi County, although it is now a little lower, but it is also a scholar family, not as cold as the Luo family. Especially if her daughter likes that Qin Qiong so much, this matter may be considered.
But he didn't know what Qin Qiong was thinking, in case of another refusal, wouldn't he Zhang Yichen and the Zhang family have no face.
Maybe you can find someone to go to the Qin family in Licheng to visit Mrs. Qin first and probe her tone, if she agrees to this matter, it will be easy to do.
