Yuan Man let out an "oh", indicating that he understood, and asked, "Then why are they all branded on their faces?" ”

Cao Guanwu simply gave the father and daughter a popular science and said: "If the master commits a crime, they can't escape, there are generally two kinds of slaves, ordinary and guilty, if the master commits a major crime, they are exiled to the frontier to do hard labor, and when they die, they will die, life is less valuable than straw, and those like them who have been opened by the net and have not directly participated in serious cases can be sold as blessings." ”

The father and daughter then learned a lot about slaves from Cao Guanwu's mouth.

Ordinary slaves are generally sold for lack of money, or they are sold cheaply because they can't live their lives, just to be able to live, what are those faces? After all, it's better to live than to starve to death, and you may not be able to fight, in case you are valued by the master, although you are still a slave, your life is better than before.

This type of person is the most common, but at the same time, it is difficult to become a slave and then turn back into a commoner.

No matter if you are sold or bought, as long as you sell it, you no longer belong to yourself, the whole person, including your life, belongs to the master's family, you can beat and scold, work hard and resent, even if you are beaten to death, there must be no resentment, and they have to bear the guilt of the master's family.

It seems that the group of people in front of him is like this, and it is good for the main family to commit a crime, and it is good to be able to save a life.

It's just that this kind of branded sin slave is even lower than other ordinary slaves, if ordinary slaves can get back the deed of sale, and then open up the wasteland and plant land for ten years and pay the grain tax on time, after ten years, they can still change back to the civilian household registration, and the children in the future are also civilians, but after these criminal slaves are branded, they are slaves all their lives, and they can't turn over from generation to generation, and they usually don't meet a good master's family again, and they can only work hard to live for the rest of their lives.

For example, the foremen of the dock moving and heavy work are very fond of this kind of thing.

Being favored by such a person, their fate will naturally not be much better, and their life is likely to end at the moment of exhaustion to death.

Cao Guanwu hesitated for a moment and spoke, "Actually, these people are also selling coolies, and the slaves who work in the courtyards of normal people don't look down on this kind of rao, if you father and daughter need someone to work, it is best to pick a few from them, and the price is cheaper than ordinary slaves." ”

Yuan Dashuo and Yuan Man looked at the group of people one after another, and they could vaguely see a few children who were similar to Yuan Wu, Yuan Dashuo couldn't bear it, and asked, "Then the children won't let go?" ”

Cao Guanwu was alert: "What is the relationship between identity and age? Remember to obey the law, or even I can't save you. ”

Yuan Man also nodded and said, "It's really no way, but if Daddy is distressed, we can go and take a look?" ”

Cao Guanwu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Yuanman's reaction ability and bearing ability were so strong, he really didn't look at the wrong person, this girl was really extraordinary.

But he didn't criticize Yuan Dashuo's reaction too much, after all, in ordinary peasant homes, they only knew the surface of selling themselves into slavery, and they couldn't touch deeper things.

More peasant families still only know that people who can't live can sell their children for money, and they are also exposed to more farm work in the field.

So it's normal for Yuan Dashuo to see part of the dark side now, and his worldview is shocked.

Maybe it was those thin children who caused Yuan Dashuo to be moved, so he agreed.

Cao Guanwu took the father and daughter to prepare to enter the door, and those criminal slaves looked down at the heels in front of them one by one, lined up to follow the predecessors, and did not dare to raise their heads at all.

Seeing this, Cao Guanwu said: "It looks like they all know the rules, this batch is good, if the farm and the wharf receive the wind, it will be picked away after a while, let's be lucky, let's see if the goods are good first." ”

Yuan Man nodded, and followed Cao Guanwu to look at this group of criminal slaves with dim and numb eyes, in fact, these people are indeed quite innocent if they don't do anything bad.

It is also sad that they have to suffer because they have not done anything about the affairs of the Lord's house.

Yuan Dashuo followed behind Yuan Man, still a little unaccustomed to such a scene, his face was tense, his brows were locked, and his mouth was pursed.

Cao Guanwu took the father and daughter directly into the courtyard, and there was a table at the top of the line of sin slaves, on which there was a roster book and a middle-aged man with a goatee registering, and there was a strong man beside him looking at the sin slaves.

When Cao Guanwu arrived, he greeted with a smile, "Steward Wu, don't come to harm!" ”

Hearing this, the steward surnamed Wu hurriedly got up and walked over, saluted, and said with a smile: "Ouch, Chief Cao, I haven't seen you for a while, and I have lost my welcome!" ”

Cao Guan Wule and Wu Steward, you come and I greet each other before I understand the meaning.

When Steward Wu heard that he was going to buy people to do farm work, he immediately smiled and said, "It's best to work hard for these cheap slaves!" Since Officer Cao is here, he is just picking first! ”

Cao Guanwu just smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean, my sister's family business has just started, so I have to pick a few people who can do things, the important thing is to be honest helpers!" ”

When Steward Wu heard this, he hurriedly agreed, first asked the strong man to bring them chairs, and then politely beckoned Cao Guanwu and the father and daughter to sit down for tea.

Then he smiled and said: "I will just be ready to register, so please take a look here, if you see what you like, I will let them into the Westroom and wait first, and then slowly pick it after reading it?" ”

Cao Guanwu and the father and daughter naturally had no disagreement, but Yuan Man secretly pulled his sleeve and asked him if he was sleepy, if he was sleepy, he would go back first, she and her father could do it themselves.

Cao Guanwu leaned back in the chair with a smile and said, "No, your brother Cao is not so weak." ”

How can someone who can be a servant not have some ability, he didn't sleep for a few hours when he was chasing the case in the past seven or seven nights, and he and Gao also survived.

Yuan Man couldn't help but be secretly grateful when he saw him say that he had done something.

If it weren't for their father and daughter, Cao Guanwu wouldn't have had to do this.

The people she met in this life seemed to be very gentle, as if they wanted to make up for the shortcomings of modernity, whether it was Cao Guan Wugao or Hua Chengen, Zhou Yu Shi Ling.

Yuan Man couldn't help but sit down quietly, feeling warm in her heart, and secretly determined to be good to them too, she thought about whether the remaining few health pills could be quietly eaten for them while not being discovered by them?

But you can think about these slowly, and the important thing at the moment is to choose a few capable people to come out.

Although I didn't think it was good to buy slaves before, I have caught up with this mess now.

Yuan Dashuo couldn't help but feel compassion when he learned that the end of these Rao would not be much better.

Yuan Man knows that her father and mother are good and really kind, whether it is to help the weak in the village, such as Juju Ju and her stupid father, or in the face of those sad things, such as these criminal slaves who are implicated by the master's family in front of them.

Yuan Dashuo was naturally moved, thinking that since he wanted to buy slaves, it would be better to help a few such people.
