The control group of the ancient heroine

Little Qin Linyang ran over: "Mom?"

The Wei brothers also looked over here: "Aunt?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Xiao Lei, Xiao Yun, you play, auntie talks to little brother."

Wei Zhanlei said crisply: "Okay."

The child Yang Haiyan bought liked to use official agents, which was safer and the child's origin was clearer. Even if the child's origin had problems in the future, there were official agents to back it up. In fact, it was the court's business and had nothing to do with her.

The matchmaker brought in ten young boys. Although the boys' clothes were full of patches, they were washed clean. The official agents in the capital were naturally more particular than those in the county, because the servants had to buy into the mansions of the nobles and dignitaries, so they had to be cleaned up, otherwise the nobles and dignitaries would not like them, and how could the official agents make money? The money from the official agents had to be given to the court.

The matchmaker smiled and bowed to Yang Haiyan: "Meet the wife, meet the young master." She naturally saw the little boy beside Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Don't be polite, matchmaker, tell me the origins of these boys."

Matchmaker: "Yes. There are ten boys here. Boy No. 1 is twelve years old this year. His last owner was an official. The owner committed a crime and was exiled. The subordinates involved in the crime, who could afford to redeem their indentures, redeemed themselves, and those who redeemed themselves were sold by the officials."

Speaking of which, this law of Qi State is still relatively liberal. Of course, there is another law above this. If the master commits a crime, the male servants will be sent to the army if they reach the age of military service. In this way, after serving the full military service, even the money for redemption will be used up, and they will be good citizens directly. However, military service is also hard, and you have to fight for your life. Among the maids, those who are married like the original body are also over 15 years old and will be assigned to the soldiers of the army by the court, but those who are not married will also be redeemed and sold again.

To put it bluntly, the court sold them well, the reputation belongs to the court, and the money earned also belongs to the court. But for the common people, how can this be a way out?

Therefore, it was the first emperor of Qi State who was kind and wise, otherwise how could there be such a law? Maybe the emperor who came out of the war was the same.

The matchmaker continued: "This kid was a family son when he was in the previous master's house, and he learned a few words from the young master of the official family."

The number one kid saluted Yang Haiyan: "Hello, my wife, my wife, my young master." The young man who came from the official family was very kind. Just now, when he heard the matchmaker calling Yang Haiyan "wife" when she saluted, he knew that this wife was of noble status, because in Qi State, only those above the second rank were called wives.

Yang Haiyan nodded. Actually, when she saw these boys, she knew that they were born in the family. Of course, how could the family be willing to sell their children? And they were indentured? She asked the matchmaker to find boys with indentured marriages. "Besides knowing how to read, what else can you do?"

The number one boy thought for a while: "My foot speed is relatively fast. Is this... is this an advantage?"

Yang Haiyan was a little curious: "Fast foot speed? This is the first time I heard of it. Is it faster to run?"

The number one boy said: "Yes, I was born to run faster, so I was chosen and came to the young master to run errands for him."

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay, matchmaker, please continue to introduce other boys."

When the number one boy heard this, he was a little nervous, and the expression on his face also revealed it. He didn't know what this person meant. Did he choose him? He stood, put his hands on both sides and pulled his clothes. In fact, his standing posture was better than other boys, after all, he was from an official family and learned the rules. In fact, Yang Haiyan liked to learn the rules, and knew more than ordinary people.

The matchmaker continued: "Husband, this is the second boy, he is also ten years old this year, and he can also read. In fact, all the boys can read." Because when the owner came to buy the boy, he said that he must be able to read. The official matchmaker in the capital is the largest official matchmaker in the country, so it is naturally difficult to select a kid who can read. In fact, literate boys usually have some background. "The former owner of this No. 2 boy was a merchant. This boy worked in the shop. The owner suffered losses and lost a lot of money. So in order to pay back the money, he sold all his property, including some of his subordinates. This boy was one of them."

The No. 2 boy also saluted Yang Haiyan: "Hello, my wife, hello, young master." His smile was a bit flattering, and when he bent down, he was a bit humble and shrewd. Because he came from the shop, this kind of flattery was habitual to flatter customers. In fact, this kind of flattery was annoying, and it could also be interpreted as the waiter's extra enthusiasm for customers.

Yang Haiyan said, "What about you? What are your strengths?"

The second boy smiled and said, "I can do accounting." He learned accounting and literacy from the shopkeeper in the shop, secretly, because this is the shopkeeper's livelihood, and he is not willing to do it. But he also wanted to learn more, so he learned secretly. When the shopkeeper was doing the accounting during the day, he would watch from the side. Although the shopkeeper would take the initiative, he did not avoid him. He also knew that he was learning secretly, but he did not care. After all, it was not wrong for the waiter in the shop to be motivated.

Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay, you wait on the side, matchmaker, continue to introduce."

Ya Po continued to introduce: "This boy is twelve years old this year. He is a young master from an official family. His family has committed crimes and those who have committed crimes have been exiled. All young masters and ladies like him have been sold."

The boy named ‌ said: "Meet the ‌husband, meet the ‌young master."

He saluted in the most formal and formal manner, with no expression on his face and a stubbornness in his eyes, but there was no conviction or hatred. Although he was born as a young master in an official family, the female concubine in the family could be called husband, which meant that the imperial title was not as high as that of the husband in front of him, so it was appropriate for him to salute her. His family used to be a minor official, and he was also an official family, so some rules of respect and inferiority were engraved in his bones. For those with high status, they had a good eye and knew how to show off.

Yang Haiyan was a little surprised. She looked at the boy in front of her and asked thoughtfully: "From master to slave, are you resentful?"

The boy No. ‌ was stunned. He did not expect that the husband would ask this question. He said frankly: "There is no resentment."

Now Yang Haiyan was curious: "Why is there no resentment? When I was a young master, I enjoyed wealth and honor, but now I have become a lowly 그. Will I feel inferior and embarrassed? After such a comparison, will I feel angry?"

Boy No. ‌ knew why the husband 그 asked this, but he also had his own thoughts: "놊 would think that 놊公놂, if we say 놊公놂, there are many 그 who have suffered more than this boy. 땤 Moreover, he has enjoyed the wealthy life brought by his father for more than ten years, but now he has done something wrong, and he deserves the punishment he has brought. "So, he has no complaints. Home 그.

It was the first time that Yang Haiyan saw such a transparent person. Let alone a twelve-year-old child, no matter how old he was, he could think so quickly. But what this child said is very reasonable. Some things are caused by cause and effect. If you are involved in the cause, you must bear the consequences. Don't say what you want, come if you want, it's just an excuse.

Yang Haiyan smiled: "Ya Po, continue."

Ya Po continued to introduce: "This boy No. 4 is ten years old this year. He also comes from the family of a sinner. The sinner committed a crime and was demoted to a commoner and his family property was confiscated, so he sold most of the family's belongings. A ten-year-old boy like this "Those who can do hard work will naturally stay."

One advantage of Guanya is that the origins of the subordinates are clearly recorded. Of course, these origins are 100% correct and Yang Haiyan knows them, but at least there is no problem on the surface. If there is a problem, it is none of his business.

"And these boys No. 5, 6, and 7, like boy No. 4, come from a family of criminals. They are all of the same age. They all used to serve the young master of that family. "

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she said: "Four of them all belong to the same household, and that household belongs to the capital? Has an official from the capital come in and committed such a thing?"

Yapo said: "The guilty minister actually belongs to the capital, a county under the jurisdiction of the capital. Next door, the guilty minister is the county magistrate there. He committed a crime of corruption." Although it is a crime of corruption, because it is just It was corruption, no harm to others, so the family property was confiscated and the official's life was not taken.

These things on the surface can be known once you inquire about them. In fact, many of the slaves from the guilty ministers' families were taken to other places to be sold, because if they were sold in a city, some families would be willing to buy them.

But the law recognizes that this transaction is to buy the servant of the sinner's family. No one else can say anything, because some people want to buy it.

Yang Haiyan asked: "Besides literacy, do the four of you have any other advantages? Or you can be good at studying."

The four men shook their heads. They thought they were the young master's personal companions and companions, so how could they have any other skills?

Seeing this, Ya Po said: "Next is boy No. 8. This boy is nine years old. There was a famine in his hometown. His parents went away. He sold it while fleeing with his brother and sister-in-law."

Yang Haiyan said: "Is this kind of pawning and selling of relatives prohibited by national law?"

Boy No. 8 took the initiative and said: "Husband, this is voluntary. My parents have passed away at home. I am still young. My brother and sister-in-law have even raised their own children. No matter what. I want to raise my family, so I decided to sell myself. Because I have a lot of money, I bought the death contract.”

Yang Haiyan was surprised, could she still sell herself? Somewhat similar to Uncle Hong's experience, this kid also has some courage and courage. "You sold yourself with a death deed, and a good citizen became a slave. You will be a slave for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
