Chapter 133: Sharpening the Gun and Teaching!!
After that, Duan Han and the four of them also got up and helped the coachman make breakfast in the kitchen.
As for Hu Xuanyun's teaching of the coachman's skills in digging well water before, it was naturally a successful conversation, and the coachman used Hu Xuanyun's method to pump up several buckets of well water more effortlessly, and filled the water tank in the kitchen with only half of the draft left, and it was over.
He also threatened to wait until he returned home, and built such a rocking water fighting frame in the village...
After breakfast, the coachman went out to buy some servants and cooking women according to Hu Xuanyun's instructions, and by the way, he also had to find some craftsmen to prepare to build a pavilion in the courtyard, although Hu Xuanyun had never built a pavilion for what it was for.
But the coachman didn't ask much, but took the money and went out directly to hire someone to buy someone.
As for Hu Xuanyun, who has memories of his past life, why not reject this kind of human trafficking, and even prepare to buy some for himself.
This point is not a question of whether Hu Xuanyun rejects or not, but whether she rejects it or not, it can't change the facts.
It can't change this kind of human trading business in the countries of the human race in this world, it is a serious business of buying and selling.
Even the business of buying and selling human beings did not arise in one or two eras, but has been in human society since ancient times.
It has also been said before that in the mortal countries of this world, the practice of buying and selling human beings is formal, and it is recognized by the national court, and it is not even different from other businesses.
Probably the only difference is that there are other businesses, which are dead things that are bought and sold, and that people are bought and sold.
Of course, the black business, that is, the kind of black behavior that Duan Han's four daughters encountered before, is not counted in the regular trading ranks.
If she only sees the superficial situation of human trafficking and does not agree with it, then she may gain a lot of hatred.
Of course, these many people are not only people who do business, but also some ordinary people who are so poor that they can't live anymore.
After all, even if Jianyang is among other ethnic countries, it can be regarded as a relatively good national strength and a strong kind of talk, but no matter how strong the national strength is, it can't change the limitations of the society of the times.
At present, the society of the mortal world of the Qingcang World is already limited, and it is impossible to be like Hu Xuanyun's country in his previous life, everyone can eat food, and at the very least, no one will starve to death.
In this world, starving to death, even in Jianyang Kingdom, is an extremely common thing.
So for those who don't have any means of making a living and don't have a source of food, selling themselves is the only way they can survive.
Although I lost my freedom, I was able to guarantee that I would not starve to death.
Moreover, as the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, even if he sells himself into slavery, if he meets a better and powerful master, then even if he is a slave, the life he lives is much better than that of ordinary people.
So in such a situation, Hu Xuanyun can't change anything whether he rejects it or not, whether he dislikes it or not.
It's not like following the local customs, but it's already the best and most suitable to talk about if you have a better attitude towards the slave servants you bought.
Unless Hu Xuanyun wants to stand on the opposite side of all the mortals in this Qingcang mortal world, she can't do anything, and she can't do anything.
And according to what Duan Minxue said before, at least on the side of Jianyang Kingdom, although there are many things about buying and selling human beings through the gang, it is also extremely common.
But whether it's the owner's family or the house, it's actually very good to treat these people who sell themselves, at least not the attitude problem, that three meals a day can still be guaranteed, although the three meals a day are not much better, but starvation is not dead.
And there are very few cases like beating and scolding slaves, except for a few cases, of course, but after all, they are all human races, and in this kind of society, good people still occupy the majority.
Therefore, Hu Xuanyun asked the coachman to buy slaves at this time, although he still rejected the attitude, but it was not that he couldn't accept the chat.
After the coachman went out to run errands with the money, Hu Xuanyun took seven students in the main hall of the main house and began to teach.
It is said to be the middle of Confucianism.
"The golden mean is a kind of Confucian moral concept, and the answer to practicing this moral concept lies in the middle mean..."
Hu Xuanyun was in front, teaching solemnly, and seven students were sitting below, recording them one by one with pen and ink, and listening carefully.
This kind of lecture continued until the door of the courtyard was knocked, and Hu Xuanyun stopped the lecture because of the knock on the door of the courtyard.
said to Li Xingguo: "Go and see if the driver who knocked on the door is back!"
Li Xingguo nodded, put down the brush in his hand, and went out to open the door.
After waiting for a while, I saw Li Xingguo coming in with the coachman, and dozens of people behind him.
The dozens of men were dressed modestly, nine men and eight women, among the nine men, in addition to a slightly older middle-aged man, there were also three emaciated young men, and the remaining five men were all strong and strong, holding clubs and the like, and wearing dark leather clothing, or more so, leather armor.
Of the eight women, two are middle-aged women, and the remaining six are three who are slightly older and three are younger.
Without waiting for Hu Xuanyun to ask, the coachman took the initiative to explain.
"Miss Hu, these are the servants that Lao Er bought when he went out to shop, the older man is the housekeeper, and the three thin men are the servants.
As for the five strong men, they were not actually purchased by the company, but through the nursing home hired by the company, these five people had just retired from the army a few years ago, and they also had employment contracts approved by the yamen, so Miss Hu didn't have to worry about what would go wrong.
As for the women, the two old women were also hired, but they were not in the house, but they were looking for women from white families who specialized in cooking.
The remaining six maidens were bought back in the middle of the row and could be used as servants. ”
"Oh, the nursing home and those two middle-aged women are hired, so do you have to pay employment fees or something regularly?" Hu Xuanyun asked.
The coachman nodded and replied: "Yes, these five nurses need Miss Hu to go to the shop every six months to pay the employment fee, as for these two old women, Miss Hu can directly give them their wages and talk about it herself." ”
