Previously, Zhang Bangyan, the prefect of Yan'an, the commander of Li County, said that he was willing to provide grain for disaster relief, and Zhang Bangyan also agreed, but after the crisis of the rogue intensified sharply, in order to prevent the enemy, all the measures were suspended and could not be carried out. Wu Wei had no choice but to organize his own manpower to go to various cities to buy people to return to Ansai, and he could save a batch of people. Originally, according to his thoughts, he couldn't accept such a thing as slavery, but after a long time in this era, he slowly found that many of the concepts of people in this era are not as he imagined. For example, I think it is a very miserable thing to be a slave, but in the eyes of many victims, being a slave to a large family is a good way out, the work is very easy compared to working in the fields, the clothing and food are decent, some are good, and they can also help a large family, and even some masters are not for the children of domestic slaves to study and become officials, so it is called a step to the sky! The yeoman peasants, on the other hand, were all on their own, and they had to be exploited by the government with all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they had to work extremely hard every day, and they still had no food and clothing, and they would struggle on the verge of death in a famine year. This is why many homeless people show envy when they see the house slaves of large families, and these house slaves are also full of superiority in the face of ordinary homeless people.

The only thing to worry about is that once you are a domestic slave, you can't move freely, and your wife and children can't be sold by your master, and it's not for nothing that the master forcibly occupies the wife and daughter of the domestic slave when she sees her beauty, which is another kind of suffering, but after all, this kind of thing happens in a minority, and in most cases the slave has been a slave for a long time, as long as he is loyal and diligent, he often gains the great trust of the master's family, and there are even those who have been slaves for several generations, and the master's family members are almost the same, so everything cannot be generalized.

And the slave as the master's private property, and the master is a blessing and misfortune, the law of the Ming Dynasty is extremely disgusted with the servant suing the master, no matter whether the slave is justified or not, the slave can not fall well, the entire social public opinion atmosphere and values are to emphasize that the slave should be loyal to the master, including the slave himself also thinks so, which also causes the slave to be loyal to the master in this era is extremely high. Wu Wei also found that although the victims who had been rescued by themselves for free, although they were grateful, they still lacked a sense of security, after all, they did not know how long they would continue to help them, and it was still unknown how the future would be, which was somewhat similar to the mentality of people who did part-time jobs without a work unit in modern times, and even those young people who were recruited by themselves were also rejoicing because of the establishment of the Ansai group training, and the sense of collective belonging was greatly increased, which was also because of the formal work unit. In order to achieve the goal in the future, you need to establish a stable production base, and you also need a large number of people, rather than attracting senseless suspicion from all sides with the alternative practice of long-term free assistance, it is better to temporarily give the recipient the status of a slave, one to settle the heart of the recipient, which can be regarded as a fixed unit, and second, to form a group that is attached to itself and loyal to oneself in the shortest possible time, and third, most of the people in this era are relocated to the land, unwilling to travel far, and the slave is not involved in the clan, It is convenient for you to assign freely according to the needs of the work. As for democracy and human rights, anyway, everyone in feudal society has no human rights, and when their status is high enough to act arbitrarily, it is just a matter of words to give freedom to slaves.

Now that he understands the attitude of the people of this era towards the matter of accumulating servants, Wu Wei has no psychological burden on taking people as slaves, but it is just a name, even Washington, the founding father of the United States, keeps slaves for life, doesn't he? Like this time, when I came to Yanchuan and bought this family of five, not only was the buyer thanked, but the people around me were also envious, thinking that they had finally found a long-term meal ticket! But Wu Wei was not prepared to buy all the victims, that would not be realistic, he brought a lot of food with the ship, and he could help this part of the people. He came to focus on buying a family like just now, such a person is more at ease to use, although he is treated well here, even a bachelor will not flee, but after all, people with family members are more likely to be trusted; The second is orphans, especially eleven or twelve-year-old half-old orphans, both men and women, at such an age, the worldview values are being formed in a critical period, and after education, they will be loyal to their own minds; The third is a woman, this is a big deal for a poor family to marry a daughter-in-law, it is not worse than peeling off a layer of skin, and it is not for nothing that a poor family can't marry a daughter-in-law in a lifetime. Of course, there is also consensual consideration; Fourth, craftsmen with various skills, especially blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen who can produce weapons and means of transportation, cannot rely entirely on modern supplies for their own force, and ultimately must be based on improving the productivity of this era.

According to this line of thought, Wu Wei went around and bought more than 20 and a half orphans, half men and half women, more than 50 women, most of these women were sold to traffickers by their husbands or fathers and brothers, only a few were sold with children, and there were 3 families, all of which were similar to the structure of the first one before, two adults with a few children, two of which also had old people, and also left together, there were fewer craftsmen, but they also collected 5 or 6, and it happened that the man in one of the 3 families was a blacksmith, He also made a firearm in the official workshop, which is a scarce talent! The only thing that exceeded Wu Wei's plan was to buy a few old people in the crowd on the street, which seemed to be completely worthless, but Wu Wei really couldn't do these old people in front of him without helping. Forget it, a community is incomplete without the elderly, they have their own unique role in maintaining social stability, Wu Wei comforted himself in this way. Of course, later facts proved that these old people were not a negative asset, they had a lot of life experience, they were also good at all kinds of farm work, and the inheritance of various customs was also maintained by them, otherwise, who knows how many times to worship the god of the stove at the beginning of the New Year? Where should a child's tooth be thrown away? And another unexpected effect is because of these old people, Wu Wei's reputation for respecting the elderly has been widely praised. Don't underestimate the role of reputation in ancient times, make good use of it and get twice the result with half the effort, Liu Daer was a bastard in the countryside back then, and he relied on his reputation, how many heroes were attracted to worship? But that's another story.

The only pity is that all kinds of amorous beauties that often appear in the human flesh market in film and television works have been proven to be pure fiction, and Wu Wei was very blushing and looking forward to it before, the real situation is that those women are ragged and unkempt, this is still the result of human teeth in order to make it easier to make a move, otherwise it is estimated that you can't even see your eyebrows. But even so, the rough hands and feet, the curves of all kinds of "beauties" also made Wu Wei lack of interest, but the accompanying few guards were excited, and kept talking about which woman had good eyebrows and eyes, which woman had a good buttocks, and so on, and in the end, those women were mainly bought according to the aesthetic vision of these goods, looking at their triumphant appearance, Wu Wei couldn't help but feel a chill.

In fact, Wu Wei's idea is that women can solve the personal problems of the soldiers, and secondly, women can engage in logistics work, such as quilt repair, clothing pulp washing, food system, medical care, etc., the modern army attaches great importance to logistics work, which is also an important guarantee to maintain combat effectiveness, but no one knows this truth in this era.
