Chapter 607: Buying People
Yan Luo has a place to settle in the world, a small building where the revolutionaries of the Xingzhonghui once lived, and there is still no movement in the main quest, and there is no way to act if you don't know what the task is.
It is said that in a few days, Li Hongzhang will come to Guangzhou.
He won't release Wolf Warrior, Mao Xiong, Xiao Ai and others for the time being, and will go out to explore the road first.
Leaving the house and heading to the so-called Summer Garden, Yanluo passed by a "dying land", a wasteland on the banks of the Pearl River, where at least one broken boat was still home, where the homeless poor, the sick who could not afford medical treatment, and the disabled beggars, who were allowed to come to this wasteland to die, similar to the Ganges River in India.
In the dying place, a large number of people in ragged clothes described as withered and destitute, all with blank eyes and numb expressions, like walking corpses, completely devoid of any life.
This is still the most prosperous Guangzhou in this era.
Yanluo continued to walk, and actually saw some refugees, Guangdong has not suffered any natural disasters now, but there are a lot of bandits, and now it is the most difficult winter for the poor in January, in front of a city god temple by the river, a soup kitchen shed was built, and the refugees who lost everything under the robbery of the bandits, all with the faces of living ghosts, snuggled up to each other and curled up in the corner of the wall to avoid the wind.
On the floor of the temple was a row of corpses, covered with tattered straw mats, all of which had died of starvation without surviving the cold.
The weather is cold and homeless, and the only reliance every day is the gruel given by the so-called good people and chambers of commerce in Guangzhou.
Generally speaking, even if the rich pass here, they take a rickshaw or a sedan chair, Yanluo is well-dressed, wears a top hat and carries a civilization stick, passing by here is immediately discovered by the refugees, many people get up from the ground and frantically surround them.
"Okay, okay!"
"Master, give me a way to live."
"Sir, I'm dying of hunger, give me a stutter!"
Although these refugees came around, they didn't dare to pull their clothes like some beggars in later generations, after all, in the first era, whether it was an official or a foreigner or a rich man, there were many vicious and cruel people, and they might be killed if they went up and dragged around.
Yan Luo has some scattered oceans, copper coins, and 4,000 ocean checks from Crédit Agricole, but let alone to the ocean, even throwing a handful of copper coins is harming people, throwing money at refugees will definitely cause chaos, and maybe they will fight and kill each other afterwards.
"Spread out, spread out!"
One of the stewards of the soup kitchen hurriedly came over and shouted at the refugees to drive them away, and these people scattered back to the corner of the wall where they had taken refuge from the wind and snow, and their eyes were fixed on Yan Luo with begging and hope in their eyes.
"Childe, you came back from abroad, right?"
Yan Luo's hairstyle and clothes are equivalent to ID cards, and the steward has a smile on his face: "Here are some shabby settlements, don't worry about it, son, you should hire a rickshaw, at least bring a slave, it's not safe to walk alone here." ”
"Thank you for your advice, these 10 pieces of ocean are for you, you take 1 piece yourself, and the remaining 9 pieces are used to buy rice for refugees, and put more rice in such a cold porridge." As a ruthless person, Yan Luo does not feel compassion for the tragic scenery he sees in front of him, but it is not much to lose by doing some good deeds, just as he accumulates character by doing a good deed every day, he used the eyes of the tare to give a hint to the steward when he spoke, to ensure that the other party would not be greedy for ink.
"Childe, you are really kind-hearted!" The steward hurriedly took over the ocean, and many of the refugees next to him kowtowed gratefully when they heard the words.
"I studied abroad and only returned to Guangzhou, and I bought a house and needed servants, how can you buy slaves and maids?"
Yan Luo didn't need a maid, so after thinking about it, he still bought a few to fill the façade of the villa, which was also considered a good deed, and he didn't even have a servant at home in such a big western-style building.
"Son, you really chose a good time, this winter, many poor people have begun to sell their sons and daughters, and recently there have been bandits, some rich families and even officials have been slaughtered, and now there must be a lot of good goods in the market."
"Human City? Where to sell people? ”
"Of course! If Gongzi wants to buy slaves and maids, go to the trade market in Huangpu Town, where there are people now...... However, it is best for Childe to bring a few bodyguards with him, and the background behind the business of the human market in these years is not pure! ”
Yan Luo was as good as a stream, hired a rickshaw to pull him to the foreign bank first, and came out with 100 oceans to find an opportunity to release the wolf warrior, this hundred oceans let the wolf warrior carry, and by the way, he also changed his clothes and followed him as a bodyguard - after all, although he is not afraid of anything now, but not having a bodyguard around him belongs to fishing law enforcement, and if he is favored by any gang, people will definitely be unlucky.
The wolf warrior has very strong muscles, and the whole person exudes a fierce spirit that belongs to a soldier.
The bodyguard carried the package on his back, and Yan Luo took him straight to Huangpu Town, a trade distribution center for foreigners to transport goods in, and there was a lot of noise, in addition to the coolies who hauled the goods, the busy foreign sailors, and some well-dressed people in long shirts.
His temperament and the wolf warrior who followed behind him, in the eyes of others, even the prince and the Ouchi guards probably don't have such a bearing! Immediately, a group of people surrounded themselves to sell their goods.
"Sir, look at my girl, she is diligent and will serve people."
"This lord, the girl in my family is twenty-eight years old, and her whereabouts are tight."
"I have a big family who is in trouble to come out, and I am still a childish after the scholarly family, as long as 32 oceans."
……
A group of mouths frothed, and they dragged the girls in front of Yanluo's eyes one by one, and these girls were all very upright, but they were all yellow and thin.
It is said that being sold is involuntarily, in this era, the life and death of slaves and maids are in the mind of the master, and the girls who were sold were originally full of fear, but seeing Yan Luo's appearance and dress, it was very different from the stewards sent by the rich man, and all of them showed a look of flattery and pleading, and for them to meet a good master, it was the greatest wish.
Yan Luo didn't pay attention to these people, but looked in the other direction.
"What a thick yin qi!"
There sat a long-haired girl in tattered white clothes, who looked to be only 13 or 4 years old, her body was slender and seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, her skin was pale and gave people a translucent feeling, the whole person was not like a person of flesh and blood, but as fragile as a porcelain doll made of crystal, and the yin qi emanated from the woman's body.
