It is precisely because the conditions of the people who come to sell themselves are similar, to put it simply, Su zhì is generally low, so Li Yongji mainly looks at his height and appearance, as long as his appearance can be seen and not particularly short, he will forget it.

Of the 55 persons, 24 were boys between the ages of 11 and 14, 18 were girls of the same age, 5 were middle-aged women between the ages of 30 and 50, and only 8 were strong men between the ages of 20 and 25.

The reason why there are so few strong men is because men have a stronger ability to survive, and Qingpu County is a prosperous county, and with a little strength, you can always find something to do. The 8 men who came here to apply for the draft, at first glance, were thin and thin, with thin arms and legs, and it was estimated that they couldn't do physical work.

Fortunately, most of those twelve or thirteen-year-old children are very cheap, except for two thirteen-year-old girls who spent a total of sixty taels of silver because they were from a big family, good looks and can read and write, and the other children are only three taels, and some of them even give away money for nothing, Li Yongji only needs to pay a hardship fee to the Longyou Gang, so all in all, the cost of selling these fifty-five people is actually not much, but it saves Li Yongji a lot of silver.

Most of the boys and girls who came here were not orphans, and they were basically sold here by their parents and relatives, which is the so-called selling of children and daughters to relatives.

The reason why they do this is that most of them can't get by, so they want to sell their children so that everyone can still live.

Of course, because children at this age can't do much work, they have to raise them for several years, and they cost a lot, so unless it is some good-looking girls, ordinary people are not willing to buy and raise, so the price is so low.

It was at this time that Li Yongji began to experience the sorrow and hardship of this era, which he could not imagine in modern society.

Although he used to abuse and complain on the Internet, he could live no matter what, at least it was no problem to eat, wear, live and travel, but in this place, many people even have a full meal is a luxury.

If you want to make an analogy, Li Yongji thinks that those black African refugees in modern society may be able to compare with these people, at most the people here are slightly better off than those black African refugees.

The five middle-aged women were all given away for free, and they came with the purchase of children. These five people are actually mothers of 8 children, all of whom fled from other places, and died men, no family and no job, because they had no hope, they had to sell their children and sell themselves, hoping that the whole family would be slaves, even if they couldn't sell themselves, it would be good to let the children sell themselves as slaves to live, Li Yongji was soft-hearted for a while, so he simply asked for it together.

In addition to being soft-hearted, Li Yongji also thought that after buying so many people, they had to find someone to do laundry, cooking, sewing and mending for them, that is, some of them did logistics and served people, and these middle-aged women had enough of suffering and did not have much ability, as long as they could live a peaceful life, they would definitely be loyal.

What the? Fancy their beauty? This is an absolute slander because these middle-aged women ...... How to say it, if Sister Feng comes, she will definitely feel that she is not in the crowd.

After these people were picked, they all gave silver tickets and silver on the spot, and then issued a deed of sale on the spot to sign and pledge, and then these deed of sale would be taken by Sun Wang, and then Zhang Er went to find the little official here to stamp the official seal, only need to give enough money, and there is no trouble at all with the official seal.

When all the formalities were completed, the sky began to darken, considering that these people had to rely on their own arrangements for eating, drinking, and living in the future, so Li Yongji spent money to rent a big house with a yard and let these 55 people live in it, and then Li Yongji asked the 5 middle-aged women and 8 men to set up a big iron pot in the yard and start cooking dinner.

Considering that most of these people have been hungry for a long time and have a full meal, and their spleen and stomach may be weak, Li Yongji did not serve big fish and meat at the beginning, but prepared a full amount of rice and millet mixed with two rice porridge, stir-fried eggplant, plus a pot of winter melon, shrimp, rice and egg soup, each of whom is divided into a porridge, a vegetable and a soup, absolutely not too much, not to save, but to be afraid of eating too much to support them.

All these materials were obtained by Li Yongji from Zhang Xinda in modern society, and even the recipes were given by Zhang Xinda after Baidu in the later generations.

Of course, the effect is also very good, all the people who eat it are happy, and they are very conscious, even if they don't eat enough, they don't dare to ask for more, just for fear of making Li Yongji, the new owner, angry, if they don't want them, it will be miserable.

After eating, Li Yongji separated the men and women and took a bath in the same room. There were no showers and not enough barrels for them to bathe, so they rubbed each other with basins and towels. Although this bathing method may not be able to wash it thoroughly, the effect is not bad after using the soap that Li Yongji got from modern times.

After taking a bath and changing into new clothes that Sun Wang bought from outside in advance, Li Yongji checked their bodies one by one, mainly to ask, that is, to ask them where they usually feel uncomfortable and to see if they have any diseases.

Not surprisingly, in addition to all of these people being malnourished, most of them also have gastroenteritis of different degrees, and may even have parasites, so after seeing the same, Li Yongji asked each of them to take anthelmintic drugs and gastrointestinal anti-inflammatory drugs such as norfloxacin according to the amount.

After such a toss, they were separated again by men and women, and slept on the floor in different rooms.

After everyone arranged to sleep, Li Yongji exhaled slightly, feeling tired all over his body.

After being quiet alone, Li Yongji also began to think about the gains and losses of this day.

In the whole transaction process of the buyer, all the miscellaneous calculations cost a total of more than 640 taels, and the actual cost of buying the person was only less than 400 taels, and the rest were for the Longyou Gang and the officials of the government.

After such a calculation, Li Yongji suddenly found that he was indeed too naïve to buy a large number of slaves and maids to run group training, or rather, it was too uneconomical, if this was the case, at least more than 30% would have to be given to the government and gangsters for nothing, and the cost was too high.

Moreover, judging from the results of buying slaves and maids today, most of the people who bought them were half-grown teenagers and middle-aged women, not only lacking young women, but also lacking the strong labor they needed most, and the literacy rate was surprisingly low.

Let's just say that the 8 men in their twenties are only up to the height standard, they are all bean sprouts and a few taels of meat, at first glance, they are long-term malnutrition, and they can't do much heavy work at all, plus they are all illiterate, and if they want to train into warriors, I am afraid that the investment in the later stage will be quite large.

Don't complain, just these 8 adult men are already the best Li Yongji has seen today, although there are some other adult men who come to sell themselves, but the conditions are worse than those 8 people in all aspects, otherwise only 8 adult men would not have been selected.

In short, the overall quality of the people I bought today is too low, and it is okay to serve people in the future, but it is not absolutely impossible to rely on these people to form a regiment to practice and fight, but the cost is too high and it is not cost-effective.
