A small peasant girl

Chapter 1008 Buying and Selling Population
"Yo, who am I supposed to be here? It turns out it's you, come and sit." Mrs. Zhao opened her eyes and saw the big sister in front of her, with a weird expression on her face, and she was a little confused. What is her big sister doing here at this time? Should I come to borrow money again?

Zhao Chunliu's original family's economic conditions were quite good, not bad, with a few acres of land, and the man was a hardworking farmer, and his life sounded good.

It's a pity that Zhao Chunliu herself has too many things to do, plus Liu Xiaoniu's idleness all day long, the two of them, mother and son, mess up a good game of chess.

Liu Xiaoniu's biological father is currently not only taking care of the family's several acres of land, but also working in the field under Wang Qingwen's name, and can receive a lot of wages every month.

But isn't the old saying well said, marrying the wrong wife and destroying three generations? Liu Xiaoniu's father is hardworking and capable alone, and he can't stand the blind prodigal life of Zhao Chunliu and his son Liu Xiaoniu, who only know how to do things all day long.

With no money in hand, Zhao Chunliu would come to her sister from a good family to borrow money from time to time. The money was borrowed and almost never repaid, which made Mrs. Zhao unwilling to have too much human relationship with her elder sister.

"You are so good-tempered, if you were on me, you would have died 800 years earlier, and what are you doing with a mouth that eats nothing?" Zhao Chunliu became angry when he thought of the crying little daughter-in-law washing clothes outside the door, In her consciousness, a daughter-in-law who cannot give birth to a baby is not worthy of living.

Before Liu Meihua married Liu Xiaoniu, her life could no longer be described as "miserable", and the members of the Liu family didn't care about it at that time, they turned a blind eye and let Zhao Chunliu bully her just married. Just granddaughter.

"It cost three taels of silver. Why don't you send it back directly? Isn't that old thing cheaper?" Mrs. Zhao became angry when she heard this. The damn parents didn't want to, saying that the water splashed by the married daughter was not accepted, let alone paying back the money.

"Then sell it, or you will keep more mouths at home, and you don't mind wasting food." Only then did Zhao Chunliu remember the purpose of his trip, and seeing her change her mean expression just now, she smiled and said, "I I heard people say that there is a big family in the town, and they are planning to buy some young and beautiful women, maybe they plan to go home and build a palace, and enjoy themselves as the emperor."

The news that Zhao Chunliu heard was really Wen Zi's suggestion to Xuanyuan Po before, to ask Xuanyuan Po to buy more young women from poor families who had no income.These bought young women will be trained well for a few years, and they will be monogamously married to the soldiers he hid in the future.

What Wen Zi meant was that Xuanyuan Po was willing to accept it, but he modified it a little. When he first bought people, he deliberately released gossip to make others think that these young women being sold may not be such a good thing. .

Otherwise, some sensitive people would see Xuanyuan Po's intention to buy someone, and raise the price on the spot, and there will be a lot of bad things going on in the future.

"It really happened?" Mrs. Zhao opened her eyes wide, her clothes couldn't believe her eyes, and she continued to ask in a curious tone, "Sister, where did you hear the news, is it reliable?"

"It's not reliable, I can come to you." Zhao Chunliu, who was suspected by others, had a look of displeasure. She also heard the reliable news through the mouth of Ren Yazi's mother-in-law, "Sister, don't blame the eldest sister for meddling. I'm afraid it can be sold for a lot of money for her good looks."

"How much can they give?" Mrs. Zhao was immediately moved when she heard this, she really wanted to know how much her daughter-in-law who couldn't lay eggs was worth.

It is common to buy and sell people in the town. After the master of Kewen County came, he directly promulgated the town regulations, and the people were not allowed to buy and sell people in private.

If you are going to buy or sell people, you have to pay an expensive population tax from the Yamen, and you have to go through the clear road before you can carry out this transaction. Otherwise, if you find out, you will be fined and you will have to go to jail.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Master Wenxian's actions were just a way to plunder the people's fat and fat, so everyone didn't think too much about it.

Otherwise, Mrs. Zhao would have sold her daughter-in-law, who was unable to lay eggs, directly to a brothel early in the morning, and she could have sold it for a good price.

"If you ask me, I'm afraid it's not less than five taels of silver." Zhao Chunliu said with a smile, but he kept thinking in his heart. Okay, "I'll go back and talk about it carefully, maybe it can rise to seven or eight taels."

"Big sister, is this reliable? Does the yamen not care about it?" Mrs. Zhao directly moved her mind. She thought that if she had a sum of money, she would be able to raise her own son and get a new daughter-in-law with a good butt. It's better than the cheap stuff outside.

"Care?" Zhao Chunliu turned his head and looked behind him, seeing that no one was eavesdropping behind him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, your eldest sister, I have heard people say that the owner of the buyer gave it to you secretly. The county lord has a lot of money. As long as it is not put on the bright side, the yamen will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, as a blind man who understands, he will not care about this matter."

"Oh, it's good to be brave." Mrs. Zhao saw that the matter was reasonable, and the wrinkles on her smiling face deepened a lot, "Elder sister, you can go back and ask for me, if this matter is reasonable, I will definitely sell it. "

"Don't worry, your business is the eldest sister's business. I will ask you carefully when I look back. Don't worry, what else do you have to worry about when the eldest sister handles the business." In order to get the poor money in the middle, Zhao Chunliu wanted it very hard. She is not stupid to facilitate this transaction, if she has money but does not make money as a bastard.

Zhao Chunliu on this one side is trying to plan for his sister's daughter-in-law, while Wenzi on the other side has already brought his right-hand assistant Xiaoying to go to the helper Xuanyuan Po arranged for her to talk about the details of the buyer in secret.

Xuanyuan Po told Wen Zi in straightforward words that it is allowed to buy someone, but he can't ask too high or too good a condition, lest some villains will be unnecessarily suspicious.

In this way, everyone felt that selling their daughters was a good way to get in and out. They could be exchanged for a few taels of silver after raising them for a few years, which also reduced the tragedy of many daughters being drowned as soon as they were born.

In this life, under the influence of the extremely patriarchal thought, many girls are 'sent' back by relatives with cruel means before they have time to open their eyes to see this beautiful and complicated world. There is no chance of living an extra day at all.

Wenzi walked to an inconspicuous house, looked around carefully with his eyes, and saw that there were no people passing by, so he said softly, "Xiaoying, knock on the door and see if there are any people inside." people at."

　It's the second watch, and there's another watch, I'm afraid it will be in the evening, what delicious food are you going to have for dinner, (*^▽^*)
