Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

141 Marriage
"Zhang Shi Ling, let's set up a market coupon!" Luo Cheng said.

Zhang Shiling nodded again and again. The slave trade in the Sui Dynasty required a market bond, which was equivalent to a transaction contract.The contract has to be signed by the marketing management department and consists of seven parts.

In addition to the identity of the buyer and seller, the guarantor and the slave situation, it is also necessary to cover the review results of the official office, the official office of the bond issuer, and the executive officer.

Compared with the cattle and horses traded in the same market, the slave trade is still a little special. The name and age of the slave must be registered on the market certificate, and the source of the slave must also be indicated to prevent illegal slave trade.

The market order is written on the spot.

At the beginning is the name of the buyer Luo Cheng, and the seller at the end is Zhangqiu County Government.Then write the names of the sold slave Zhang Huaixian and his family's wife and children at the end.

After it was over, the city magistrate asked in a low voice, "County lieutenant, may I ask who the guarantor is?"

To buy a slave, a bond must be issued, and there must be a guarantor, and there must be five guarantors.These stringent conditions are all to ensure the legality and controllability of these slave trades.

It was not difficult to find five guarantors, and the Luo family was willing to be guarantors, so after the names of Zhang Huaixian's family, they wrote the names of the five guarantors of the Luo family.

In the end, the city magistrate personally asked Zhang Huaixian, "Is it true that you are humble?"

In front of everyone, Zhang Huaixian nodded in pain.

"Open your mouth to answer, yes or no?" the city magistrate asked again.

Zhang Huaixian could only answer, "Yes."

This link is an important part of the government office's review, that is, asking whether it is true to say that it is true.It means that if you want to ask the betrayed person in person whether he is a slut slave or not, he must answer in person that he is a slut.

This link is also to prevent the beloved from being illegally bought and sold. As long as the sold person does not admit that he is a bitch in front of the government, the source of slave status will have to be re-examined.

The status of slaves is registered in detail in the government. It is the so-called household register of slaves and maidservants. A register is made every year, and a household registration is made every three years. The counties submit their registration to the state, and the state to the province. .For prefectural and county registries, five ratios are permanently retained, and for provincial registries, nine ratios are retained. Everyone who is good or bad, public or private, will be known for a week.

The government has household registration, hand certificates, and ninth-class registration books that can be checked with each other, and they must be kept in the household department for 27 years, so it is impossible to have fake ones.

After registration, Zhang Huaixian personally signed and pressed his fingerprints, and then the city department stamped the official seal and signed.

A market bond for slave trading is officially established.

With this voucher, Luo Cheng only needs to go to the government to complete the registration, and he will legally own the servants of this family.In the future, if they are registered by the government, even if Zhang Huaixian runs away, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the government. They will still be slaves registered by the government, or fugitive slaves, and they will be returned to Luo Cheng once they are captured.

Another official of the county government, Liu Sihu account history, was an official of Sihu Cao, who was also replaced after the purge, and he also signed on behalf of the slave seller.

There are five members of Zhang Huaixian's family, one boy, one girl and three children, but the price is extremely cheap.

A total of twenty pennies.

This price is a half-buy, half-free. Originally, a strong man is worth at least two or three horses, and a young and beautiful woman may be worth more, but after all, Luo Cheng is a county captain, so the discount is more favorable, and the last person It counts as ten strings, and the three children are included.

The old man picked it out himself, and finally found some craftsmen who were skilled in craftsmanship. He bought ten of them, and these were selected for the Luo family's blacksmith shop.

Before, Luo Cheng asked his father to engage in tertiary industry in the military camp, and started a blacksmith business, making both weapons and civilian iron.The first batch of products were iron pans, not ordinary old-style iron pans, but disc-shaped iron pans that are convenient for frying and frying, which is the style of iron pans commonly used in later generations.

This kind of iron pot is not an ordinary product, but it is aimed at the high-end market of those big families.After all, ordinary people can't even afford an iron pan, let alone a frying pan.

But rich people are more particular about food.

The craftsmanship of the saucer-shaped iron pot is not difficult. Lao Luo is an old blacksmith. As soon as Luo Cheng said, he made it after thinking about it.The first batch of iron pans received a good response from the market, but now orders are incessant, but the output is too low.

Now Father Luo plans to expand production capacity, and the Luo family's own blacksmith shop will also reopen, so that both public and private can be balanced.

The official residence in the backyard of the county government.

Zhang Yichen sat in the study sullenly.

She kindly accepted Xianniang as a foster daughter, and then entrusted Jun Cheng as a matchmaker to propose marriage to boy Luo Cheng, who knew that the boy actually refused.

It's like a hammer hit on the head.

"Father, you are still upset about Luo Wu's matter, be careful not to get angry."

Zhang Runniang came in with a bowl of tremella soup.

"Mother Run, this kid really pissed me off, it made me very embarrassed."

"Father, Luo Wu is just a stupid young man, why should you be as knowledgeable as him. If he doesn't agree, it's because he doesn't know how to flatter."

"Hey, if Dad loses his old face, he will lose it, but I'm afraid Xianniang will be very sad."

"Xianniang is really sad. She has been gnashing her teeth and scolding Luo Wu for several days, and her eyes are swollen from crying. I think she really likes Luo Wu a long time ago. Who would have thought that Luo Wu would not know how to praise him."

"I'm sorry, Miss Xian, this matter has become like this."

"Forget it, I'll just find another one for Xian Niang later."

"Ah."

After chatting with his daughter, Zhang Yichen asked her to go back and comfort Hongxian.

Sitting alone in the study, Zhang Yichen thought carefully about Luo Cheng.

In just a few months, this kid has grown rapidly.Originally, I wanted to train him well, but now it seems that this kid is disobedient.But after making some achievements in suppressing bandits, he became so arrogant.

Originally, he planned to promote the Luo family, and wanted Luo Siye and Luo Cunxiao brothers to be the judicial assistants of the county government, but now it seems that there is no need.

Uncontrolled guy, it's better not to be too flattering.

He turned his head and thought of his daughter's head again.

This time he took the thread girl as his adoptive daughter and wanted to betroth her to Luo Cheng, but he also mentioned his daughter's marriage.She confessed to herself that she liked Qin Qiong from Licheng.

This matter is astonishing. You must know that matters concerning children are all ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. When did the woman decide for herself.Especially since their Zhang family is still a noble family, such a thing is even more impossible.

But he really dotes on this daughter, and Qin Qiong is also a talent.

Before, there was still some hesitation, but now after Luo Cheng rejected Xianniang, Zhang Yichen really thought about his daughter seriously.

"Qin Qiong, the Qin family in Licheng."

The Qin family in Licheng is also a well-known gentry family in Qi County. Although they are a bit down now, they are still a gentry family, no less inferior than the Luo family.Especially since the daughter likes that Qin Qiong so much, maybe this matter can be considered.

But he didn't know what Qin Qiong was thinking, if there was another rejection, Zhang Yichen and the Zhang family would lose all face.

Maybe someone can go to the Qin family in Licheng to visit Mrs. Qin first, and find out her words. If she agrees to this matter, it will be easy to handle.
