Chapter 66: The Smuggler's Harvest
After this feast, the smugglers of time and space gained greatly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
They now have an office in Lin'ancheng.
The location is a little off, ten kilometers away from the east Qingmen foot of Lin'an City, but don't be afraid, they have a four-wheeled/big donkey cart, and the traffic situation is good.
What makes them happy is that although it is a suburb, the stone bridge here is the same as in Lin'an City, and they can pass through their cars.
They later redecorated the house, created a new batch of daily necessities, and when everything was properly moved in, it was just a few days before the Chinese New Year.
This will be their first year in the Great Song Dynasty, and they are in a hurry, but the harvest is still satisfying.
They have observed that the carpenters, blacksmiths, and plasterers in Lin'an City have sufficient manpower and are not badly crafted.
Of course, the tools they use are much worse.
There are two main wings, a lobby, eight side rooms, a warehouse and a livestock shed.
The yard is big enough to cover a big workshop.
The house was surrounded by mostly vegetable patches and flower beds.
It can be said responsibly that the proportion of flowers sold in Lin'an City in this time and space exceeded that of all subsequent time and space.
The evil forces that believe in the law of the jungle will only like women who are like flowers, and will never like flowers, nor will they let others like them.
In the Yuan Dynasty, grass would be planted.
They also got a large number of New Year's goods, as well as some daily necessities.
In fact, there were two maids and two male servants, but they politely declined, fearing that they would be undercover.
During the Southern Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, the government strictly prohibited the sale and inducement of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which meant the buying and selling of human beings through robbery and abduction. But for the willingness of relatives, it still doesn't matter, or even self-selling, but you have to make a contract, go public, and pay taxes.
A male servant is dozens of times, a handmaid is at most a hundred times, as for those who know some crafts, it is still more expensive, such as the cheapest cook, it will cost three hundred, such as the people around them, the ability to do it, the dancer or the dismantling and washing person, the needlework and thread for people, this has to be calculated according to the quality, but if it is converted by a small mirror, it is not expensive.
In response to the great Song scholars' love for mirrors, Zhang Guoan and his wife swore that even if they worked on it for 10,000 years, they would get the mirror out, and they didn't believe that ordinary silverization reactions could be difficult? !
They went to the market and bought five boys, four girls, all eleven or twelve years old, and they were carefully selected, and most of them looked smarter and healthier, and they were all picked out that day.
The more mature people bought two adult male servants, three maids, a cook, and a washer.
I will buy it when I meet the right one in the future.
These people are all bought in the market, the channels are legal, and the procedures are complete.
In the market file of the human trafficking, the Great Song Dynasty government also clearly stated that the two sellers and buyers would be given three days to regret it, and after three days, the contract would take effect permanently.
These people are also selected by themselves, and they will be the people around them in the future, so they must rest assured.
Of course, the Great Song Dynasty still cracked down on selling or luring people.
When Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong was in power, the trend of human trafficking in the south was serious, and Zhou Zhan, who was an official of Shangshudu, went to Qianzhou, which is now Ganzhou, Jiangxi, and found that the traffickers in the Jianghuai area at that time often went to Qianzhou to abduct people, and then sold them to the Lingnan area.
Zhou Zhan then launched a large-scale population rescue operation, first trying to catch the traffickers, rescuing a total of 2,600 trafficked men and women, and providing them with food and food to return home.
The same is still in charge of those Great Song people who were forced to stay in foreign countries,
When Song Zhenzong was in power, the Liao State established by the Khitans in the north plundered a large number of Han people in the Central Plains.
It's all put into action.
The place where they live is called Shangjia Village, but strangely, there seems to be no family surnamed Shang in the village.
When Wu Dapeng and the others just moved in, they still carried some fruits and went to the nearest neighbor's house to have a look, and it was okay, just like the peasants on the outskirts of the city, with the simplicity of some peasants and the cunning of some citizens.
Everyone is satisfied with this place, there is nothing to pick.
Liu Qian really contacted some merchants for them, saying that as long as they paid for it, there would be no problem with hundreds of laborers.
The laws of the Great Song did not apply to them.
To tell the truth, human trafficking has become an international phenomenon in the Southern Song Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time, black Africans had already been trafficked to the Great Song Dynasty, and as for the people from neighboring countries who were trafficked to the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were trafficked to neighboring countries, the history may be even earlier.
The black Africans who were trafficked to the Great Song Dynasty were called "Kunlun slaves" or "ghost slaves" in the Tang and Song dynasties.
In the entry "Jiajiangmenli" in the "Daoyi Zhiluo" written by the folk navigator Wang Dayuan, he explained the situation of international trafficking of African blacks at that time: "When they returned to the people's settlements, their local merchants sold black women, went to Pengjiala, and used the amount of silver money with each other, and negotiated the price according to their size. ”
"Jiajiangmenli", located on the east coast of present-day Africa; "Pungara", or present-day Bangladesh, was a transit point for black traders at the time.
The "local merchants" mentioned in the article are international traffickers, Arab businessmen who have been doing business in East Africa for a long time, specializing in the sale of black people.
Some of the "black houses" that entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty were directly sold to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty by local merchants, and some were brought back by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty from Pengara by the way.
In addition to a large number of blacks in the Great Song Dynasty, there were also some Korean women
Most of the foreign women who were trafficked to the Great Song Dynasty were Koreans, and the vast majority of them were young women, and some people once praised them for their "jade skin and snow clouds".
After all, the men's tastes of the Great Song Dynasty are not so heavy, and the black girl still can't accept it.
At that time, the powerful families were proud to have Korean women, "high-ranking officials and nobles must get Korean women, and then become famous."
This is easy to do, they directly entrusted Liu Qianxing to order 200 black servants, including 20 women, preferably able to farm.
Liu Qian Xingshou laughed after hearing it at that time, and said: "That ghost slave is stupid and can only work hard, and the farmers of the Great Song Dynasty have it, do you want to buy the land------"
Wu Dapeng shook his head at that time and said, "I haven't thought about it yet!" Now is not the time to ------"
As mentioned earlier during this period, the Great Song Dynasty government did not rely on the land annexation of large households, and it can be said that 10 percent of the land that has been reclaimed in the country accounts for 70 percent of the total area, and similarly, land is often transferred, and the land involved in the sale and purchase accounts for more than 20 percent of the total area.
So buying a field is also a common thing.
Wu Dapeng told the truth this time, Wang Anguo and his wife thought that the main task at present was to prepare for the development of Liuqiu, and it was better to do it sooner rather than later, so everyone would help him.
Buying a plot of land for the life of the landlord, they still don't want to.
After they moved to Shangjia Village, they started another kind of life, after all, it was the New Year.
The nine boys and girls who just bought it back are fine, and there is no such thing as crying to find their parents.
Bao Wei and Guo Beyu came to life.
They are responsible for teaching these children, both men and women, and educating them about what they have learned first!
They also feed the donkeys, especially in the middle of the night!
Guo Beyu said: "A certain one is only two or three years older than those boys, but he has to do so much work!" ”
Bao Wei said: "It's okay, it's really fun to think that a certain person can be a professor!" ”
Guo Beyu rolled his eyes and said: "It's too inconvenient for the two of them to get up in the middle of the night to feed the donkey, it's better to separate, it's you tonight, and it's my ------ tomorrow night."
At that time, Bao Wei agreed, which made Guo Beyu feel better.
He secretly calculated in his mind, and after a few rounds, he was just in time for New Year's Eve.
At that time, everyone kept vigil and did not sleep, so there was no need to wait in the middle of the night to feed the donkeys.
Song Ziqiang was not idle, he got into a fight with the cook he bought, and brought the dismantler and the three maids.
The cook's name is Chunniang, she is a widow, and she has no children, she belongs to self-sale. She said that she was only twenty-nine years old, but no matter how Song Ziqiang looked at it, she thought she was at least thirty-five, but this was not important.
Song Ziqiang asked her about her cooking skills and found that most of the dishes she could cook were cooked in a large pot, of course, this is a characteristic of Da Song, but this is not good.
Song Ziqiang began to teach her to stir-fry, starting with mapo tofu, to the salty pot-wrapped meat, more than a dozen dishes, and practiced every day.
You also have to learn to turn the wooden handle horse spoon, this is customized by a blacksmith, one hand is not strong enough, two hands are upside down!
It's okay, after all, she really has a hand of knife skills, and her kung fu is good.
I also brought the dismantling and washing people and the three maids together, so that they could see it, and when the time came, they could help with the kitchen or something.
The reason why she was able to buy a dismantling and washing person is because she claims to be a needlework and a generalist.
Her name is Xi Niang, and she talks generously.
She said that she was a person who returned to the south, and along the way, the people in her family died on the road one after another, but she returned to the Great Song Dynasty alive, which is really lucky.
She said that she was thirty-five years old and wanted to remarry, but others disliked that she couldn't have children, so she had to sell herself.
At that time, Song Ziqiang said: "Who said that you can't have children? It's only thirty-five, it's a good time to have a second child, many people who are older than you can have a second child, the country allows you to give birth, be happy! ”
As a result, he persuaded Xi Niang to cry, and Xi Niang said: "If you have another child, it will really be a second child!" ”
Song Ziqiang is inexplicable, why is he crying?
Finally bought her.
Song Ziqiang often has to do demonstrations in person, he burned the iron stove vigorously, and the oil fire suddenly rose more than two feet high, and he stir-fried the vegetables in this oil fire, shaking twice from time to time.
A dish was prepared in a few moments.
The five women who were watching from time to time let out "tsk" exclaims, which made Song Ziqiang even more proud, the best chef is always a man.
In fact, as soon as the time sequence enters the wax moon, the New Year's flavor in the Lin'an market is getting stronger and stronger, and every household begins to marinate the cured meat with pork, mutton and fish, which can not only be used as New Year's goods, but also can be stored until next summer.
All markets ushered in the peak season for holiday spending.
The market sells New Year's goods such as Buddha flowers, leeks, orchid buds, bohe, walnuts, and Zezhou dumplings; Shops "bid for brocade, new calendar, all kinds of large and small door gods, peach charms, Zhong Kui, foxy, tiger head and golden wisp flowers, spring post banner victory and the like; Hawkers along the street are selling mascots such as the Tin Ta Spring Banner Victory and Pepsi Ji Huer, in order to hang at the head of the door on New Year's Day, which is an auspicious omen for the New Year.
At that time, everyone also felt the flavor of the year, but they had to be busy shopping around, and they could have asked Yalang to buy goods, but some things were called differently, and Yalang didn't know what they wanted.
So I had to find it myself.
They have all the resource coordinates in this time and space in their hands, but if they need something, Great Song has already developed it, so much better.
For example, now, there is no copper in Xinzhou Leadshan County, and more than 100,000 people often dig and chisel, and the manpower of the entire mining and smelting process is together, which is really impressive.
