Chapter 155: How to Settle
As the shopkeeper of Dengxian Tower, Degui is now also a figure with a face in Chang'an City, these people naturally know him, and it is Degui who came forward for Wang Xiang to help Ning Xiang and them redeem themselves, and it is strange not to slaughter a sum of money. Although he didn't have a disagreement in his heart, he could only do what Wang Xiang said, but he couldn't figure out what his young master was doing when he bought so many people back, Kunlun Nu and Silla were okay to say, but what did those yellow-faced and thin-skinned children do when they bought them back, the younger ones were only five or six years old, and the older ones were only seven or eight years old......
Degui just sighed, and a person leaned over with a smile on his face and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, count it, there are a total of thirty-two strongest Kunlun slaves, fifty-three of the most well-behaved Silla maids, a total of ...... ...... altogether"
Seeing people scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks, bending down to find stones, Degui knew that he wanted to calculate how much it was.
"A total of 11,000."
Ren Yazi glanced up in surprise and looked up at Degui smiled embarrassedly or squatted on the ground, this deal was too big for them.
Degui didn't stop the uneasy Yazi, but frowned and asked Yazi, another person who was counting children, "You won't be abducted from these children, right?" He knew Wang Xiang's temper, and if there was such a thing, he would definitely not be happy.
Ren Yazi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can it, our children here all have documents in the government." ”
Degui nodded when he heard this and didn't say anything, this is why he brought Wang Xiang to Yayi, although the price is more expensive, but unlike those scattered people outside, the people in their hands have it by any means.
After a while, the count was finally finished, and there were one hundred and twenty-two male babies. Two hundred and twenty girls. A total of 2,76 runs. Plus the money of Kunlun Nu and Silla Maiden is 12,176 yuan!
More than 10,000 yuan, even for the family, it is a lot of money, and it took several times to be sure that it was this number, and secretly sighed in their hearts that this prince was worthy of being willing to spend 100,000 yuan to redeem the Qinglou woman, but they regretted that the price was lowered just now.
……
More than 400 people honestly followed Degui alone towards Zhuangzi outside the city, and none of them escaped, I have to say that this is a kind of sadness in itself.
When Renyazi and Degui talked about the price, they also heard it, more than 10,000 times. Even the youngest children understand what this means, although Kunlun Nu does not speak a few words of Han language, but after training, they can basically understand Han language, and Silla women are proficient in Han language one by one, and even the rules of large families are clearly learned. In their opinion, the person who can buy them all for more than 10,000 yuan must be very rich people, and maybe they don't have to worry about starvation in the future, so even if they are allowed to run, they will not run.
More than 400 people walked together, the momentum was naturally very eye-catching, and even aroused the vigilance of the patrol sergeant, who heard Degui say that it was a slave bought by the Marquis of Jiayuan, so they put their minds at ease, and offered to send two sergeants to help him escort people to the village.
Although these slaves did not think of running away and resisting at all. However, seeing that the sergeant was very enthusiastic, Degui did not refuse their kindness, but thanked them.
The sergeant was also very curious about why Marquis Jiayuan bought so many slaves. But he wisely didn't ask questions, but just sent Degui and more than 400 slaves to the village safely.
Wang Xiang had been waiting in the village for a long time, and when he saw the two sergeants who came together, he was stunned at first, and when he heard Degui's explanation, he knew that they were showing favor to himself, and handed over two ingots of silver without a trace, and the two sergeants gently checked the silver in their hands and were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Wang Xiang.
The people of the Tang Dynasty used copper coins more, and only large transactions would use gold and silver, although it was said that one or two silver was equivalent to the same copper coins, but in fact silver was worth more than copper coins, and one or two silver coins could be exchanged for almost 1,200 yuan, and the silver that Wang Xiang handed them was a silver ingot of ten taels and one ingots, which was a big surprise.
After the sergeant left, Wang Xiang asked Degui to bring all the people he bought to the courtyard, which was the largest courtyard in Wang Xiangzhuang, although the layout was simple but the place was large, otherwise it would not have been able to accommodate so many people.
This season, although it is not yet bitterly cold, the wind blowing on the body has already made people feel a chill, and those children are only wearing tattered cloth clothes that cannot shelter the cold wind at all, and they are shivering one by one.
Although the Silla maid was brightly dressed, the thin shirt and light gauze did not protect against the cold at all, and she was shivering from the cold. Only those tall and strong Kunlun slaves were bare-chested and only wore a cloth around their waists, but they didn't seem to feel the invasion of the cold wind at all, and stood at the front of the crowd with a blank face, and some clever children and Silla maids shrank behind Kunlun Nu to avoid the cold wind.
No one spoke, and after a while, someone brought a pile of clothes and placed them in front of Wang Xiang. The reason why he left the tooth early was because he didn't like the dreary and oppressive atmosphere there, and because he found that the slaves were not well clothed, so he went to have people prepare warm clothes for them first.
When the clothes came, he said, "Come up and get the clothes." ”
The slaves didn't seem to hear Wang Xiang's words, and remained motionless.
Seeing this, Degui yelled at them: "The young master is kind enough to let people prepare clothes for you, why are you stunned!" Move neatly, line up and come up one by one to get clothes! ”
They reacted when they were reprimanded by Degui like this, it turned out that these clothes were prepared for themselves.
"It's not a good idea!"
The "fierce and evil" Degui roared again, and they trembled one by one before they stepped forward to receive the clothes, not daring to compete at all, and the subordinates who distributed the clothes distributed clothes to them according to their body type, anyway, they bought a lot of clothes of various body types, although they were not necessarily good-looking, but thick and warm.
Seeing that they finally stepped forward to take their clothes honestly, Degui turned his head and said to Wang Xiang embarrassedly: "Young master, these people are used to being reprimanded, and they don't know who you are talking to when you talk like that, so you have to be fierce." ”
Wang Xiang nodded and said that he didn't mean to blame him, he understood Degui's approach, but he couldn't treat these living people as slaves, and he didn't want to buy them back as slaves.
Seeing that after they got their clothes back, they were still standing dumbfounded, and Degui shouted with a dark face: "Why don't you hurry up and change your clothes, if you freeze to death and cause the young master to lose his silver, you will look good!" ”
Hearing Degui's "threat", their faces suddenly flashed with fear, and they hurriedly began to change their clothes, not caring at all that others were watching, so they changed their clothes in the yard.
People are frozen to death and are afraid of being punished for letting the master lose the silver, looking at these poor people, Wang Xiang sighed and said to Degui: "Let people boil some meat porridge for them, let them rest for one night after eating, and talk about other things tomorrow." ”
He hadn't figured out how to place these people yet. (To be continued.) )
