The cook hugged the girl in the corner and cried for a while, and under the reprimand of the slave seller, she let go of the girl and ran out and knelt down in front of Li Ang and pleaded: "Lang Jun! You can do well, buy my little lady too, Lang Jun, you are good, please! Slaves and maids do cattle and horses, and they will also repay Lang Jun for your ......"

The cook burst into tears, and the slave sellers were used to seeing such things, so they were indifferent at all.

Li Ang looked at the girl in the corner, and saw that her face was full of tears, and in despair with a hint of anticipation, he looked at Li Ang.

"How much does that woman sell for?" Leon asked.

The slave seller immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Langjun, you really have a vision, this woman's father Liu Zhongzhou was originally a judge of the transfer envoy, because of corruption, his family was confiscated, this woman is also the daughter of an official eunuch, she has been reading and writing since she was a child, and she is really a rare first-class goods, but unfortunately Xiao Langjun is a step late, and someone has already taken a fancy to it......"

When Li Ang saw him say so much, it was not difficult to guess his thoughts, isn't it just a strange thing to live in, and he wants to sell it for a good price.

Li Ang said to the cook who kept crying: "You also heard, your little lady has been bought, and I can't help it, let's go." ”

Li Ang turned around and was about to leave, but the slave seller hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Lang Jun, please stay, this is not unnegotiable, if Lang Jun really wants to buy this woman, it is not impossible to negotiate." ”

"What are you discussing, didn't you say someone had already bought it?"

"Well, Xiao Langjun, you know, let's do business, naturally whoever bids high will sell it to whom, the previous one has a hundred yuan, if Lang Jun you are willing to give a little more........."

"I didn't bring that much money, and now I only have 90 cents left. Presumably you won't sell it, so you don't have to talk about it. ”

Leon was about to leave again. The cook cried and grabbed Li Ang's shirt, and begged with tears in her eyes: "Lang Jun." Please, buy my little lady, my little lady has been smart since she was a child, she is knowledgeable, you can buy her together, and the slave will repay ......you in the next life."

The angry thief smiled sheepishly: "Nobleman, you see that this crying and grabbing the sky is really unbearable, so be it." If you make a hundred, you will take it away, how about it? ”

Xiao Luan saw it, he was really a little unbearable, and said to Li Ang: "Li Lang, otherwise, the slave will pay for it, even if it is a congratulatory gift for Li Lang to live in the new house." Luckily? ”

Li Ang smiled: "Xiao Niangzi, you are in a hurry to use money now, how can I let you break the bank, okay." Let's buy her together. ”

Leon spoke, and the slave seller took the girl out and handed it to Leon, smiling from ear to ear. The cook thanked Li Ang and Xiao Luan for her kindness.

Bought a slave and a maid. It can't just be taken away, and the imperial court does not have a special agency in charge of buying and selling in the East Market. Called the City Department. The buyer and seller must go to the city office to go through the formalities.

The city order, history and other officials carried out the "Ming overpass coupon".

The specific procedures are "establishing bonds" and "being too cheap".

The establishment of a bond is the conclusion of a contract of sale between the two parties. Then the city order, history and other officials "too cheap", that is, to verify that the slaves and maids bought and sold are lowly status, and then collect transaction fees, and affix the official seal on the contract, so that the whole transaction can be completed.

After completing these formalities at the city office, Li Ang had seven more servants under his name; Liu Feixu, Liu Jiuniang, Lidong, Xiaoxue, Wu Xiaole, Wang Er, Li Qi.

Seven servants spent 246 yuan on him at once, which is equivalent to half a house, no wonder human trafficking is so rampant, and there are really huge profits in it!

When I bought a servant and passed by a shop that bought the four treasures of the study, Li Ang just got off the horse, and a teenager in the store immediately greeted him and said: "Nobleman, you want to buy the four treasures of the study, all kinds of stationery supplies are readily available in this store, the old pit inkstone of Duanzhou, the first-class She inkstone and Tao inkstone, the hemp paper, mulberry paper, the bark paper, the bamboo paper of Yizhou, the rice paper of Xuanzhou, the rabbit quill pen, the sheep's tail pen, the wolf pen, the rat whisker pen, the stone badger pen......."

The young man talks endlessly, you have to admire the people of this era, who open a restaurant, can read the names of the dishes in the store in one breath, open a store and introduce their own products in one go, and the voice is subdued and frustrated, like a song, which is very pleasant to listen to.

When Li Ang entered the store, he saw that all kinds of stationery supplies were very complete and had everything.

He asked the price, ordinary paper 50 Wen 100 pieces, good rice paper costs 3 Wen a piece, Yizhou hemp paper also costs 1 Wen a piece, a good Xuan pen costs 22 Wen a tube, ink 15 Wen a tael, inkstone is one or two to hundreds of times.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen wash, pen holder, paperweight and other stationery supplies, Li Ang bought some each, and spent nearly 50 times.

Li Ang had no copper coins, so he could only take out gold leaves to pay.

In Datang, silver is produced in small quantities and is not usually used for payment, but gold is often used for the payment of commodities.

In order to make it easier to carry, the gold was often beaten into thin gold leaves, like the folds of later generations, folded one by one, and when traded, a part of it was cut off with scissors and weighed.

At present, the exchange ratio of gold and copper coins in Chang'an is 1 tael of gold to 7 copper coins. For 50 pounds, Leon had to pay more than seven taels of gold.

Looking at this number, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh: "Reading is really a very luxurious thing, now the rice is only 13 Wen, if this money is used to buy grain, you can buy tens of thousands of catties of grain." ”

Xiao Luan smiled and said: "How can Li Lang think so, this knowledge is priceless, how much money can ordinary people earn a year by cultivating the fields?" Reading and literacy, going out and going into the picture, and generations of wealth and glory, how can the two be compared. ”

Li Ang laughed and said, "Hearing you say this, my heart is much more balanced." ”

"Okay, Li Lang, I guess they've bought it too, let's go."

"Well, let's go!"

"Lang Jun, madam, the two of you go slowly!" The shopkeeper and the guy personally delivered it to the door.

The shopkeeper's lady called out, and Li Ang glanced at Xiao Luan, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

When buying the servant, the slave seller also called Madame, but Leon didn't pay attention at the time, and she pretended not to hear.

Now Li Ang looked at her with a smile, which made her really embarrassed, this matter was not easy to explain, so she simply got on the horse and took the lead and left.

Xiao Luan's ten entourage, as well as Cheng Guan, were already waiting at the corner of the street, and all kinds of daily necessities had bought several large cars, and the large car of copper coins had also been spent.

Everyone returned to Li Ang's new house on Chunfeng Street in Chongrenfang, and several large carts of things were directly pulled in, and then everyone reported to Li Ang separately:

Both sides of the bronze mirror, 4200 texts.

One stone of rice, 150 wen.

Five jars of wine, 1800 texts.
