Chapter 91: Zhao Dashan
No matter how surprised Steward Fang was, Zhao Hengyi insisted on buying all the women and children in the dental shop.
In the eyes of others, this is completely unreasonable and crazy.
Seeing that Zhao Hengyi had made up his mind, and there was a shopkeeper Liu from Hengtong next to him, Fang was in charge of the people.
There were 289 adult women, 59 girls, and 34 old women, except for the six blacksmiths specially reserved for Zhao Hengyi, there was not a single man among the slaves waiting to be sold in the entire tooth shop!
It can be seen from this that the population ratio of the Great Yan Kingdom has been deformed to such an extent that even the slaves waiting to be sold, whether they are strong male laborers, boys or old men, will not be left, and there are buyers who want them.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that as long as you can survive a meal, you can easily recruit a servant girl outside.
The entire dental industry was busy because of Zhao Hengyi's generosity.
These women all need to verify the identity deed, go through the formalities, and even some are so hungry that they have to pour two mouthfuls of rice porridge......
Zhao Hengyi Zhao Caidong has never had the rule of calling people hungry, and in the Tianxiang Building on the other street, a few tables were ordered for a good table and sent directly to the tooth shop, so that people had to work hard only when they were full of food and drink.
In total, the women and children of these nearly 400 people only receive a total of 700 taels of silver, even if they are given a friendly price, it also shows how women are worthless in this dog-day Dayan country!
"Guys, I'll buy you back but you're going to have to work."
"It's tiring to do rough work, but you don't have to wait for people, you want to go to a big family to be a maidservant, and you want to live a light life, you can choose to refuse now."
"Once you sign the deed, there is no turning back, and you can make a decision after you figure it out."
Most of the women who appear in the tooth shop are because they can't pay taxes, and there are also a few rich and noble families who come out of their own families, not necessarily the daughters of rich people, or they may have been the maidservants of a certain family before.
Zhao Hengyi made it clear in advance that he was worried that some of these women would have other plans.
However, none of the women wanted to stay in Yaxing, whether it was a young girl or an elderly woman, all of them were willing to follow Zhao Hengyi, the eccentric new owner.
In Zhao Hengyi's view, what happened to these women was caused by the doggy world of Dayan Kingdom, and the desolate situation they fell into is not unrelated to the vision and inherent thinking of everyone at the moment.
In the eyes of others, it is easy to buy these women, but it is a huge expense to feed so many people.
But Zhao Hengyi bought them home to work in a textile workshop, and these women can not only support themselves with their own labor, but also earn wages, and Zhao Hengyi, as the boss, will naturally earn more.
Everyone is saying that women are losing money, but in fact, it's just that those incompetent people don't see the value of everyone.
In this Great Yan Country, women are the majority who occupy a larger number.
Any country and any society can only maintain the normal operation of this society and country if the majority of the population is given a corresponding dignity and a chance to survive.
In just half a day, the news that Zhao Hengyi had bought all the women in the tooth shop spread all over the streets and alleys like wings.
Most people think that this Zhao Dongjia is too kind-hearted to see the woman in the tooth line suffering, and he is doing good deeds.
There are also sober-minded people who feel that Zhao Hengyi bought so many women, and in the end, because he was unable to support them, he would let these women fend for themselves.
Of course, there are also dark-minded guys who hide in the corner and secretly accuse Zhao Hengyi of being extravagant......
The Liang family, a large cloth merchant in Jiangling City, hid in the dark and watched quietly, and learned that Zhao Hengyi had bought all the women in the tooth shop, regardless of age or age, and suddenly became a little angry.
"Old lady, the one surnamed Zhao buys so many women back at once, and he will inevitably increase the number of looms, and when the time comes, the cloth shop opened by Yang Bo is afraid that the supply will be more sufficient!"
"So what?"
"The surname Zhao has a new loom in hand, once the output goes up, it will inevitably lower the price of the entire Jiangling Mansion, and our family can't compete with him!"
"There are more cloth shops in the entire Jiangling Mansion, but it's not just our Liang family, even if you are in a hurry, it won't be our family's turn."
"But that Miao Xiaoyu ......"
"Don't worry, it's time to collect the materials soon, as long as the people surnamed Zhao and Dang Yangbo can't receive the raw materials, there are no looms and manpower, and it's in vain!"
"The old lady is wise!"
In this Gangneung City, the people who guessed Zhao Hengyi's intention to buy so many women were not only friendly soldiers.
After so many formalities have been completed, even if the teeth line is moving up and down, it has been busy at sunset.
Zhao Hengyi even invited doctors to diagnose and treat the injuries on the bodies of those hard-working women.
Half of the women have trauma on their bodies, although all of them are skin wounds, but if left unchecked, the infection will inevitably worsen.
All the women had their first full meal in the dental shop, and there was an ointment for them to apply to each other, and everyone was secretly happy, thinking that the new owner must be a kind and benevolent person!
Early the next morning, the nearly 400 women and children followed Zhao Hengyi out of the city and went to Elm Bay together.
In order to prepare the rations for so many people along the way, Zhao Hengyi bought more than ten carts, and the big green donkeys that pulled the carts were not stingy, and they were all picky and strong, and these carts and big green donkeys could come in handy even if they returned to Yushu Bay, and they were purchased in Jiangling City, which was far more convenient than buying them locally in Dangyang County.
Almost under the gaze of half of Jiangling City, Zhao Hengyi's team slowly walked to the gate of the city.
At this time, there were more than a dozen knights in hunting costumes, riding tall horses and galloping over.
"On the order of the county lord of Xiangcheng, the daughter army has come to escort Zhao Dong's family out of the city!"
The leader is the little peach girl with a slightly red face, and the flush on her cheeks makes the little peach girl look more cute than usual, and I don't know if she is tired from galloping all the way, or if she is staring at it with a nice eye from some bastard.
The people who gathered on both sides of the street to watch the excitement were applauded because of the sudden appearance of the daughter army.
In recent years, the daughter army has suppressed the bandits near Jiangling City, and its reputation is much stronger than that of the Ning Wu army stationed nearby!
With his daughter as a guarantor, and the lord of Xiangcheng County who does not lose to a man, everyone has strengthened their previous guess that the Zhao Dong family, who bought all the women and children in Yaxing, is a great good person!
The officers and troops defending the city naturally would not stop them at this time, and the huge team led by Zhao Hengyi went out of the city smoothly.
There are too many women and children, so it is natural that they can't walk fast, but fortunately, there are carts pulled by those big green donkeys, and children and the elderly can take turns to sit on them to rest and recover their strength when they are tired of walking.
By noon, the whole team hadn't left Gangneung City far.
instructed his subordinates to bury the pot and cook, but Zhao Hengyi walked up to Lu Jiuniang, who was wearing guard clothes, with a smile: "Chenghui, thirty taels." ”
