Chapter 151: Awkward Liberation
"Childe, what do you mean by that? We didn't do anything wrong, did we? Xiao Xueyi's voice trembled.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not that you have made any mistakes, it's like this, if you return the deed of life, it means that you will be free people in the future, and even if you want to marry in the future, you don't have to redeem yourself. If you want to stay here, you can do whatever you want, and you can go wherever you want to stay here. Got it. Besides, explained.
These female guards are not recruited, but the sons of the Zhongshan Palace, they all have their own deeds, not deeds of sale, they were born to belong to the Zhongshan Palace, there is no such thing as buying.
They look sunny, but in fact they don't have any personal freedom, everything can only be arranged by the master, and it is better to buy a ring outside, you can redeem yourself.
Of course, even so, they didn't feel anything bad, on the contrary, they were proud that they belonged to the Zhongshan Palace, because the palace did treat them much better than the people they bought, although they were slaves, they belonged to their own family, not outsiders.
When they came, the deed was transferred to Besides, and now they are their masters. Moreover, giving them the identity deed is equivalent to giving them back their personal freedom.
"We don't want a deed, if we make a mistake, we will be punished by Childe, but we will not leave here unless you give us away." Xiao Xueyi bowed his head and said.
"Give it away? Of course it can't be, and it's not like you don't know me. Besides, he laughed.
"Well, we're not going to leave here, and we're not going to ask for these deeds. If we are at fault, we will not complain if you kill us. Xiao Xueyi cut the railway.
"What about you, do you want a deed?"
Besides, I was a little surprised, this was liberating them, no one appreciated it, and it looked like they had been greatly wronged, what is this?
Everyone shook their heads and took two steps back, as if the deed he was holding was poison.
"Okay, let's do what." Besides, he waved his hand and said helplessly.
The female guards were scared half to death, thinking that they really didn't want them anymore, and only then did they recover their emotions.
"I said, Childe, someone as smart as you should know what we want most." A mischievous female escort said.
"What do you want, an increase in the silver of the moon?" Besides, looking at this female guard, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she is still very immature, but she is tall and tall, and she also has a majestic momentum.
These female guards all have this kind of momentum on them, so people can know at a glance that they are masters who can't be provoked, and they don't know how the Zhongshan Mansion trains them.
"No, what we want most is a painting of your calligraphy, even if it's a scrap." The female guard said earnestly.
"Oh, okay, I'll write it to you when I'm fine, make sure everyone has a share, okay." And laughed.
Xiao Xueyi and others originally liked to blackmail him into writing, but they didn't have to paint, it was too laborious. Unexpectedly, these guards who joined later also learned to follow suit.
The female guards were overjoyed, and a few jumped out of the house.
Besides, he shook his head, these are all children, how could he ask these girls to protect him, but he couldn't change it, otherwise they might really play with him and cry, make trouble and hang himself, how could he stand this.
Xiao Nier walked in, she had been outside the door, not knowing what to do with these people together, afraid of something unexpected.
"You're in the wrong place." Xiao Nier scoffed.
"Like, why don't they want to be free?" Besides, I don't understand.
"Freedom? No one locked them up, what's not free. What is bad about them here, they are not short of food and clothing, not to mention, and they all use the best. Xiao Nier snorted through her nose.
Besides, he shook his head, didn't he say that he would rather die than be free? When is freedom worthless?
It seems that his own ideas have not been integrated with the times, and he always thinks that he can be free without constraints. Perhaps all these people want is a stable and reliable life.
But are these sisters going to be bored here for the rest of their lives? When they get older in the future, how will the marriage be solved?
He has had a headache for a long time about this problem, Li Xiangjun still has three girls there, how to marry and go out is also a problem, nominally it is all his, but what does he want so many women to do? Three palaces and six courtyards? He is neither such a character, nor does he have this Yaxing, and there are still a lot of things waiting for him.
He is now forced by the emperor to stand on the edge of the cliff, and he is already panicked, even if the emperor does not force him, he doesn't want to get into more debts.
"By the way, each of them will give them twenty taels of silver, and when you have nothing to do, take them with you, and let them go shopping." Besides, he said.
He originally remembered to come back to do this, and those male guards were given twenty taels of silver, and they naturally couldn't be less, but it was inconvenient for them to go out shopping and drink by themselves.
"I know, I can't treat them badly, and what is rare in others is not silver, but your calligraphy and paintings." Xiao Nier said in a long voice, she was a little angry in her heart, as if she would treat these female guards badly. Could it be that she is a stingy hostess?
Xiao Nier actually likes these female guards, their arrival is a good thing, they are on duty around the yard every day and night, they feel safer psychologically, and they can sleep steadily.
As for the extra money, she also admitted it, anyway, there was nothing left, and it was more than 8,000 taels in the morning, which was not worse than these twenty people.
"What are you talking about, so lively?" Zuo Ling walked in with a smile.
"What else can we talk about, he is afraid that I will treat the new sisters badly, so he specially instructed me." Xiao Nier didn't have a good air.
"Yes, a new generation replaces the old, we are old, and we are not liked." Zuo Ling smiled.
"I said that the two of you are almost fine, don't go online, I am really good for them, but people don't accept it." Besides, he smiled bitterly.
"What's going on?" Zuo Ling asked with great interest.
Xiao Nier told her about returning the deed to the female guards. Alas, it's a pity that people don't appreciate it, and they are crying and crying, with a look of wiping their necks and hanging themselves. Xiao Nier finally added.
Zuo Ling smiled bitterly, she was speechless, how could she have such a strange thought.
Give them back their freedom? Their parents are both slaves of the King of Zhongshan, and the Zhongshan Palace's house is their home.
What if they were truly free?
In the era of feudal monarchy, women couldn't stand up for themselves when they went out. Of course, they can't go back to their parents' home, they can only marry men, but who can they marry? The children of a good family in a small family or a poor literati with four walls of a family can marry them, but that kind of poor life is far worse than life in the palace.
Although they are slaves and maids, they are also slaves and maids in the mansion, and their lives are much better than those of ordinary people. Not to mention anything else, that is, their outfits are worth thousands of taels of silver, all of them are real daughters of daughters, and they have grown up in the nest of wealth and nobility since they were young, and the food and drink they use every day are not what ordinary eunuchs can afford.
Their best way out is to be small for high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, but isn't that a fart when they take off their pants? They are now nominally concubines, and Xiao Nier is not jealous of them, and it is precisely because of this, since they are small, can they still have younger, handsome and richer masters? Except for the prince and the king, there is probably no one who can compare status and wealth.
Besides, after listening to Zuo Ling's explanation, he still can't turn this corner in his heart, he doesn't like to use slaves and maids, that is to oppress and exploit people, although it actually costs more, but he really thinks that no one has the right to deprive a person of his freedom, and equality for all is not a matter of lip service.
It's a pity that he is in that generation where the master and servant are humble, and he can't control the social phenomenon, but he doesn't want to do it. He usually always takes a car, and he doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair, but he thinks that sitting in a sedan chair is an oppressive behavior, why should people carry you. As for using a horse-drawn cart, he has no scruples, after all, his concept is still only in the realm of equality of all people, and has not evolved to the realm of equality of all beings.
"By the way, when do you have time, can you go out with me?" Zuo Ling asked.
"Okay, it may not work in the next few days, you and Nier go shopping first, and you don't have to rush the business at a moment's notice." Besides, he immediately understood that Zuo Ling wanted him to take him to take over the Zuo family's pharmacy in Beijing.
"How smart this man is, I didn't say anything, he understood, but some things are elm pimples." Zuo Ling laughed.
Besides, there is no word to refute, this conceptual gap is too great, and he has to eliminate it little by little. Many of his concepts and practices are incomprehensible to people in this era, wondering if he jumped out of a stone and does not understand current affairs at all.
But for the most part, he can still do it very well.
"By the way, do we have any prescriptions for miasma?" He suddenly thought of this.
"Miasma? I don't think I think there is, but I can find it. There is no place for this medicine to be used in the mainland, so it is rarely refined. Zuo Lingdao.
"Then you can first collect some prescriptions for the treatment of miasma and epidemics, and then you can use them later."
"Why are you going to take someone to a place with miasma?" Zuo Ling wondered
"Prepare first, there are also many people and horses stationed in the imperial court in places with miasma, and this medicine should have a market." Besides, he vaguely agreed.
"That's good, if there is really such a market, the demand must be very large." Zuo Ling's interest came up all of a sudden.
In fact, what he thought was that if he led troops to the coastal areas of Fujian in the future, the miasma would not be avoided, and all kinds of related diseases would definitely appear at that time.
As for the market, of course, there is, in his hands, the funds for administering the army naturally include a special fund for the purchase of medicines, if this kind of medicine cannot be bought elsewhere, Zuo Ling's pharmacy can supply it, and the money is spent here, it is not illegal.
In the future, the army will have to recruit some military doctors, although he has superb medical skills, he can't do everything, no matter how he says, he has to recruit more than a dozen military doctors, and this money can't be saved.
As for how to recruit military doctors, where to recruit them, and whether they can be recruited, they will be put on the agenda first, and then solved step by step.
It is an inherent belief that people in the world have an instinctive resistance to being a soldier, and most of those who serve in the army are just fed. Thinking about it this way, it is difficult to say whether people who practice medicine in the mainland and have no worries about their life are willing to become military doctors.
