16, Chang'an Nu City (above)

Jingwen successfully bought a courtyard house with an area of more than 400 square meters, and Jingwen was happy for a while. A courtyard house was bought for less than 1,000 yuan on the road, and Jingwen was still content. But after staying for a few days, Jingwen found himself a little lonely. In such a large courtyard, I was the only one and a little lonely.

"Hey, I used to just want to live in a big house, but now that I have a big house, I feel lonely again." Jingwen said helplessly.

Jingwen went out and planned to visit this Chang'an City, so that he could feel the prosperity of Chang'an. But what makes Jingwen a little helpless is that now he has just reached the Zhenguan period, and there are not many prosperous places. This Chang'an City is still on the rise, so it is not very prosperous. Jingwen had no choice but to walk casually.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy someone?" An obscene man asked.

"Buying people? Who to buy? Jingwen also asked rhetorically.

The lewd man said, "Just buy slaves and maids!" We have many big families in Chang'an who come here to buy slaves and maids, do you also want to come here to buy some slaves and maids? ”

Jingwen was suddenly surprised and said, "Didn't slavery end in the Qin Dynasty?" ”

Jingwen remembers very well that slavery in China had gradually collapsed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Since there was no slavery in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why was there still a slave market here? This made Jingwen very surprised, where did he travel to?

The lewd man said: "Mr. erudite, although I have abolished slavery in China since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I still have good and low in the Tang Dynasty." For example, many large families have domestic servants, some of these domestic servants are hired, and some of them are really slaves and slaves. According to the law of my Tang Dynasty, slaves and maids who beat good people to death must be executed. But if an ordinary good citizen kills his own people, he will be sentenced to at least one prison sentence, and he can pay for his crime with money. Even, as long as the master reports to the government, he can kill the slave and maid with the consent of the government. However, such slaves and maidservants are few and far from the population of the country. ”

Jingwen didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty still had this kind of slavery system, which made Jingwen a little surprised. But Jing Wen was reminded again of some historically accepted differences between slavery and feudalism. Slavery is the majority of slaves in economic production, and this is slavery. In other words, the biggest feature of the era of slavery is that slaves accounted for the vast majority of the population, so it is called slavery. If slaves are only a small minority, and the economic benefits generated do not account for the majority of society, then it is not slavery.

"Damn, I thought that when slavery collapsed, there would be no slaves. However, I didn't expect that there were so-called slaves in this world! Jingwen thought secretly.

"Childe, do you need a slave? We have slaves here! It doesn't take much money to get some slaves, and it's absolutely excellent. What's more, there are also benefits to buying slaves and maids! The lewd man said.

"What's the benefit?" Jingwen asked rhetorically.

"Childe, of course there are advantages to slaves, that is, they can be trusted! If the slave dares to betray you, you can kill him at any time. If you don't have to spend a penny, you can report it to the government, and then you can also kill it. So, in this case, does the slave dare not be faithful to the master? Therefore, it is much better to buy a slave than to hire a slave. The lewd man said.

Jingwen's heart moved.

"Oh? So if I want to open a restaurant, do you think I can buy some slaves and maids to go back? Jingwen asked.

"Yes! As long as you buy the restaurant, you can buy some slaves and maids to go back. As for what to ask him to do, that's your freedom. As long as you want, you can even give some beautiful slave girls to ......" The shopkeeper made a ** look, as long as this look is a man, it can be understood.

When Jingwen heard this, his heart was even more moved. Because he wanted to open a restaurant, he opened one in this Tang Dynasty. However, Jingwen is very afraid of the leakage of technology. Jingwen knew that all the techniques he had learned were from later generations, and they were extremely advanced in the Tang Dynasty. Take cooking skills as an example, I, an otaku in later generations, can learn to be higher than the cooking skills of the imperial chefs of the Tang Dynasty after watching eating every day for more than ten years.

Since Jingwen knew this, he had the idea of opening a restaurant. But Jingwen didn't want to cook himself, because Jingwen's energy couldn't take care of it, so it was impossible for him to cook for those customers himself. Therefore, Jingwen wants to pass on his cooking skills to others. But if it is taught to others, then the writer will run away after learning the cooking skills, and then he will lose a lot.

In this time and space, there is no patent law, and there is no guarantee that one's interests will not be lost. If those chefs learn cooking and run away to other houses, then there is really no way to deal with it. Even, after your own restaurant becomes popular, there will definitely be those things where other restaurants come to dig the foot of the wall. If the restaurant becomes popular and doesn't poach other people's chefs, then I'm afraid Jingwen will wonder if they are a qualified businessman.

Since digging into the wall is unavoidable, it is necessary to find a way to improve the loyalty of subordinates. But Jingwen agrees that under absolute interests, anyone will betray, and this Jingwen himself can't avoid this situation. Jingwen is like this, so he won't trust anyone completely.

Jingwen wants to teach his subordinates how to cook, but he is worried that they will betray, which is a big problem. However, now that there are these slaves and maids, they can be taught with confidence. Because unless a slave or a maid buys and sells, no one else can dig the foot of the wall. What's more, as long as those slaves and maids betray, then they can report to the government to execute them. In this case, loyalty is not an issue.

"Do you have any skilled slaves here?" Jingwen asked.

"Guest, what skill slave do you want? For example, there are people who can serve people, and there are people who can do rough work and take care of flower beds. Even, a slave who can fold a quilt and warm the bed for you can do it! However, these beautiful slaves are probably a bit expensive! The lewd man hinted again.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to say more, take me in and have a look." Jingwen said.

The lewd man seemed to see that he could get the so-called intermediary fee, and immediately took Jingwen in. Because he saw that Jingwen's temperament was not like an ordinary person, but like a cultured person, he was like this.

But he didn't know that the reason why Jingwen's temperament was different from this era was because he was a time-traveler!
