The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 66 Buying and Selling
What he showed the craftsmen were not rare gadgets, but matching tables and chairs.

It's not the Taishi chair and the Eight Immortals table. This thing has been around for a long time, and it is impossible to make money by inventing it to win attention.

The set of tables and chairs he designed has made some small changes on the basis of the ordinary Eight Immortals table, which is more convenient for restaurants to use.

These craftsmen were all masters, and he understood what was going on after a little explanation, and they all praised him for his brilliance.

After confirming that the craftsmen understood what he meant, Chen Jingke was about to leave, and a group of craftsmen sent him off respectfully behind.

Just a few steps away, I saw a group of children roaring and running not far away, having fun.

The children in this group are eight or nine years old and the young are only two or three years old. They are dressed in completely different clothes than when they first came here, and they are more lively.

Chen Jingke stopped in his tracks, frowned and said, "Are these older kids running around doing nothing like this every day?"

The craftsmen thought he was angry, and quickly apologized: "The real man calms down, the real man calms down."

Tian Dachun hurriedly said: "Really calm down, it's because we don't know what's good and what's wrong, we shouldn't let them idle, we will definitely change in the future."

Chen Jingke waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "You guys misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to ask if they don't need to study?"

The craftsmen felt relieved, Tian Dachun apologized and said with a smile: "The lowly people are not worthy of reading and writing. When they are older, they will follow us to work and learn crafts. This is how our ancestors have come here."

Chen Jingke secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that he had unintentionally staged a story of why not eat minced meat. It is not normal for children of ordinary families to study in this era.

"Okay, I see, you guys go to work and make what I want as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left. As for asking teachers to teach these children how to read and write, he didn't say anything.

Following Sun Simiao, he learned a lot of things, such as promoting Mi En and fighting Mi Qiu.Sometimes even if you want to be a good person, you have to follow the rules and rules, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.

It is not too late to let these children study when they find other opportunities in the future.

And to put it a little crueler, studying with their backgrounds is not as good as learning the crafts of their parents, at least it is a job to earn a living.

Chen Jingke asked them to study, but he didn't really expect them to get ahead by virtue of this, but that after reading and literacy, the road would always be wider.

Afterwards, he found Cheng Huailiang and the other three, and asked them to accompany him to the yamen to find someone to buy someone from.

Originally, that jerk was still a bit snobby, but Yuchi Xunyu kicked him somersault, and said: "You don't even know Yeye, you bastard with no winks?"

"See clearly, this is the empress's nephew, this is the gentleman of the Duke of Yi, this is the gentleman of the Duke of Su, my name is Yuchi Xunyu, do you understand now?"

The Yaman managed to get up from the ground, and when he heard their identities, his legs went limp and fell down again, while slapping himself, he said:

"It's a small person with blind eyes, and a villain with blind eyes who ran into some nobles. Please spare your lives."

Chen Jingke had already guessed that this would be the case, but it still didn't apply. He frowned slightly and said, "Get up, talk carefully."

The man looked at the other three timidly, not daring to move.

Yuchi Xunyu scolded: "Didn't you hear what the real person said, why don't you get out of here?"

"Yes, yes, thank you for your life." The man got up from the ground.

Then respectfully asked Chen Jingke to sit down, and showed him a thick list.

Chen Jingke was surprised and said, "Are all of them up for sale?"

The tooth man apologized and said: "The real person is joking, people are so expensive now, and a batch will be sold out within a few days. The first few days have already been sold, and the next few pages have not yet been sold. s population."

Chen Jingke roughly flipped through it. It was said that a few days ago it would never exceed a month, and the number of people who were sold exceeded [-].This is still sold through official dentists, and private sales will only get worse.

He really has nothing to do about it, even he has to rely on buying people to solve the problem of manpower shortage, so he has no right to blame others.

All he can do is to treat the people he bought back kindly.

Flipping the list to the back, several pages are densely filled with names, including places of origin, why they were sold, prices, and so on.

Some of them were sold as slaves after bankruptcy, some were sold by their former owners, and some were sold by their parents.

Actually, he couldn't see anything from the list, so he simply didn't look at it, and asked directly: "I need a blacksmith, do you have any suitable ones?"

Yaren said subconsciously: "The blacksmith is a craftsman, very..."

In the middle of the speech, he immediately reacted, and quickly said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, I can talk nonsense."

"Blacksmiths, yes. There are. The real person is lucky. Only one blacksmith was sent here at noon today. It is said that the whole family was arrested and sold as slaves because the money owed to the mine was not paid."

Chen Jingke flipped through the list in his hand and said, "Why isn't it on here?"

Yaren said: "This... These craftsmen are generally not recorded on this."

Cheng Huailiang said from the side: "Generally, those who are skilled, have beautiful women, and those with special talents will be detained privately by them, or sold at a high price, or used to please the powerful."

The tooth man kept laughing, not daring to speak.

Chen Jingke simply threw the list on the table and said: "I want the blacksmith family; I want five more honest and reliable people who understand cooking skills, and they don't need to be so sophisticated."

"If you want five more clever teenagers, let's do it. By the way, if the whole family is sold, even their family members will buy it together."

Yaren quickly said: "Okay, I'll bring you here right now."

"Wait." Cheng Huailiang called people to stop, and then said to Chen Jingke: "It is inevitable that some people in the restaurant want to listen to the music, or should we buy two more women who are good at playing and singing?"

"I'm afraid these women will end up miserable if they are bought by others. The real person has a kind heart. It is a blessing for them to follow you."

Hearing that, the toothy man's face became bitter at first, but he didn't dare to say a word when he touched his thigh that was still aching.

Chen Jingke originally didn't intend to engage in any kind of singer and dancer, but changed his mind after hearing the second half of the sentence.He has nothing to do about human trafficking, he can only say that saving one is one.

"Okay, just buy two."

Naya said flatteringly: "Don't dare to lie to the nobles, I only have two women who meet your requirements."

"It's just half a month ago that Wang Xiuqi and Wang Langjun asked me to help him find a maid, and I'm limited to deliver the goods today. I really can't offend him, why don't you take one away first, and I'll send it to you when there are good ones in a few days past?"

"Wang Xiuqi?" Qin Yandao's face changed, and Cheng Huailiang and Yuchi Xunyu also showed embarrassment.

Chen Jingke immediately knew that his identity was not simple, and asked, "Who is this Wang Xiuqi Wang Langjun?"

Qin Yandao said helplessly: "Taiyuan Wang's children."

Chen Jingke understands everything, but the influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is still too great.Not to mention the three of Qin Yandao, he didn't want to face each other, at least he didn't want to face each other for no reason.

He was about to agree, but Yuchi Xunyu's words made his face turn cold.

"This Wang Langjun is a lustful hungry ghost with an extremely cruel temperament. He often buys women and tortures them at home. I don't know how many women have been destroyed by him."
