Don't look at those barbarians who burn, kill, loot and do nothing good, but when they are really captured and sold, they are known for their loyalty and hard work—probably because the level of improper people in the Central Plains is lower than that of the grasslands. " level?

And it’s okay to say that these official slaves are just like this, the key is that the price they sell is fixed, and they have to be filial to the top and bottom, otherwise they will continue to distribute these hot potatoes that only eat and don’t work, so the price is not cheap.

"You two nobles, the villain will not lie to you two. The ones who meet the requirements are those official slaves. The price is not cheap, and they may run away at any time."

"It doesn't matter, there is no place to run on overseas islands." Li Zao thinks this is not a problem. If these people have the ability to swim across the sea and escape to Fusang, she will admit it.

O

"Also, I need some farmers who work the land."

"That's not cheap." Whose dignitaries don't have hidden fields? The prices of these land experts are very expensive, and although the imperial court does not prohibit slavery, there are strict restrictions on the number and status of slaveholders. Otherwise, if good people are captured everywhere as slaves, who will the court pay taxes, military service, and corvee service?

Of course, there are some ways for those rich and powerful families to get around, the so-called stealing and plundering, but those don’t need to come to the market to buy them in person, no, naturally there are prostitutes to choose candidates

Send it to your door for the other party to choose. [Most typical: Sister Xianglin in "Blessings"]

"The issue of money is not important." Li Zao took out a bag of gold leaves, proving his financial resources, and the toothman immediately showed a smile, it seemed that those things that were dropped on his hands could be sold out.

"Small one, take the two of you to take a look?" As he said that, he opened the door of the warehouse on the side. Inside, the rooms divided by cages were full of people, emitting a foul smell.

"These are inferior goods, and the best are on top."

The lower floors are all worthless shabby huts, and the upper floors are carefully selected. After going up, I found that although the rooms are not big, they are no different from the ladies' boudoirs.

After all, these are high-value commodities, so it is naturally impossible to get sores and pus all over their bodies. It's just that everyone's expressions are very panicked, and some of them are completely resigned to their fate.

"Hmm... Are these all literate?"

"Of course, the girls who can't read and write are all in the lower-class brothels." There are all big girls and young ladies here. There is no way. It was cut down, and it's not my turn to sell it here.

Even if there are, the number is not many, and Ren Yazi is very unwilling to take over these men. Those from the martial arts family are strong, but their martial arts are not easy to tame; , still full of grief and anger, always thinking about running away from the master, why buy it back?

"Are there no boys? They won't be able to do heavy work when they go back."

"Then you buy those Hu slaves!" Whether they were black slaves brought from places like Egypt and Tanzania, Persian slaves from the Middle East, or prisoners of war, they were all strong slaves capable of heavy work.

"If you want peasants, here are some, these years, bad years

There are these shabby households everywhere. If you say that you are not a good farmer, but you are also from a farmer's family, there is no problem with doing farm work. "In other words, Li Zao's requirements can be found when they are broken down, but they are completely different from each other when put together.

"Okay, let me ask, can they cook and do laundry?"

"Uh, I don't know about washing clothes, but cooking should..."

"I can!" Inside the room, the girl who looked a little more agile than the others raised her hand, "I can cook, and I can do everything, whether it's raw or soup, I can cook it."

"That would be great!" There is no reliable cook on the mountain, what, you expect Master Master to cook for you?Why don't you go to heaven!

Although Li Zao can cook, but what do you think a fox can do, as long as it can cook things well, as for the superfluous ones, I really can't think about it.

The head teacher can go to the big coastal cities every now and then to eat out and pack food, but these disciples can't do it. Half-cooked boiled fish with white rice is already very tormenting. Fortunately, there are enough spices in the kitchen, and the ingredients are enough to barely eat.

"Is that enough money?"

"Enough, so the two are selected?"

"It's all."

"It's... it's a good thing to sell them all at once, but can the two of them really take care of them? There are still people who are going to the government to get the deed." Those two have to go to the government to get the deed, there are too many people Yes, I have to report to the official. "Of course, some management is also indispensable, even if it comes from a wealthy family. After all, the matter of hiding people has become a big deal, and everyone is not very happy.

"Okay!" Li Zao, who didn't know how the human government works at all, happily followed them to the Luoyang government office. As a result, the clerk routinely asked her to show her household registration certificate and was arrested on the spot. She had no household registration, no Lu Yin didn't have any legal certificates or documents, and he didn't know how to stuff money.

Just when the atmosphere became more and more dignified, I finally remembered the sign my junior sister gave me when I went out, saying that I could show it when I was dealing with the government.

"This is..." The scribe looked at the sign suspiciously. It was made of pure copper and gold-plated. After a closer look, he gasped suddenly - the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought walking badges - for the palace and all adult princesses and princes. The badge of the purchasing department in the household.

Although there is no official rank for this position, but think about it with your head, can ordinary palace people get such lucrative positions in court procurement?

Li Xiangling gave her this brand, and it is the attitude of the royal family to bring this brand to the mountain. If the other party is willing to purchase through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the royal family can grasp some information and intelligence on the mountain, and win the relationship by the way. If you don’t use it, there is no loss. Don’t take it It's just an ordinary copper plate when it comes out, it's not worth a lot of money.

"But why does the Ministry of Internal Affairs come to Luoyang to buy people, or a group of criminal officials' families?"

Not to mention recruiting maids, even recruiting eunuchs has piles of people queuing up who can't survive. In fact, there are many people who have castrated themselves and tried to sneak into the palace. If they want to be eunuchs, they have to spend a lot of money to manage it.

Let alone a court lady, the position of a palace lady may be favored by the emperor." Even the lowest rank is a royal employee. If you are lucky and get shot, you may be a side concubine. .

That's how the whole family ascended to heaven. If you look at Jia Baoyu's house or the author's old Cao's house, you can understand why it costs a lot of money to manage and you may not be able to squeeze in.

"This is a sign given by my junior sister, what's the problem?"

"Oh, no problem." The clerk who was still thinking about why and identifying whether this was a real thing immediately came back to his senses, junior sister, it must be some princess who left home or

Let's buy a group of maidservants and tenant farmers who are the emperor's concubine or something.

After all, you can't really let those concubines who became monks of the first emperor go to the ground. They just avoided the end of being buried. Those princes are still alive, and the royal family's face is there.

As a yamen secretary office, his knowledge can only go to this point. In fact, these imperial villages and temples where the royal family goes out do not need external manpower at all. There are old eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace. The land is also not needed at all, and it is maintained by the treasury appropriation, so there is no need to cultivate the land by yourself.

After a little twists and turns, these deeds of selling their lives were completed. As for the fact that there are no escapees for the time being, they can’t escape in the city. As long as the owner shouts, Marquis Wu will come up to arrest people immediately, and if they are arrested, they will be beaten directly in court. No one cares about death.

Only when you get out of the city can you have a chance to run away. However, when the mighty group of people left the city gate, before those down-and-out households were ready to run away, they saw Li Zao release a beam of blue light to surround everyone. stand up.

There are three adult women, seven underage girls, and five adult men. They are all Hunu. It is said that a certain tribe on the grassland was arrested. It is said that herding is good at herding, so Li Zao also bought—— — As for whether they can deal with the animals raised on the mountain, I don’t know.

In addition, there are four or five men in their prime of life, all of whom are bankrupt farmers. An old man, I heard that he committed a crime and lost money to a bankrupt blacksmith, is considered a tight resource. When the waist card came out, that Ren Yazi had to hide it or not to sell it.

Craftsmen such as blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons are very expensive even if they sell themselves, and most of the masters will not treat them harshly. Ren Yazi still wants to sell them for a price. sent o

Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the sale of official slaves, the county magistrate might as well take care of it now. Of course, these fine people will not cause such trouble for themselves.

""Don't think about running away, or I'll eat him up! "Liu Niang used illusion to release

In the eyes of these people, he is a threat of a fox the size of a castle tower with grinning teeth.

The makeup is weird! "

"Whoever calls again, I will eat them, and nothing will happen if you are obedient!" Liu Niang said triumphantly, these ordinary people are obedient when they are scared.

As for cannibalism... well, she's just that big, even if you ask her to eat her, she won't be able to eat it. Fox monsters rarely eat people, unless it's those foxes who have no hope of breaking through. It's just that it has to be a fox with three tails.

An ordinary demon fox like Liu Niang with only one tail can't eat people even if she wants to. Of course, it is okay to kill people. For example, the natural charm and illusion of a fox spirit, as long as it is used well, it is easy to kill a few people.

"Sixth Sister!" "Okay? Little Twelve, I'm telling them to be more obedient.

"You are now members of my Wanxiang Sword Sect. Next, I will ask Master Uncle to pick you up in a fairy boat and return to the mountain. In the future, if there is a place where there is cheating and cheating, I will deal with it according to my own rules." Li Zao said Said, looking at her, she doesn't seem to be some evil thing, these people

Just calmed down a little bit.

Chapter 180 Four

Chapter 180 Four

After using the strange thing Zhaoxia gave to send a signal, an iron box soon landed in front of everyone, "There are so many people, have you bought all the wine?"

"I bought it, I bought all the wine shops in Luoyang." Li Zao nodded, letting those who were frightened by this weird four-legged iron monster go in.

"Go into the fairy boat, sit down and don't move around."

"These people are..."

"The servants recruited for the mountain, otherwise there will be no rice to eat soon with those junior brothers farming?" Li Zao said, and Zhaoxia thought for a while, "It should be said that there was no rice three days ago, and now They are eating kelp, just waiting for the supplies you purchased."

It’s not that no one wanted to run away, but because the monster’s legs were so frightened that they were carried into the cabin by other people. After discovering that the monster was not a living thing, it didn’t want to eat people, but some kind of chariot and horse. calmed down a bit.

"Let's go, let's go up and go back, hurry up" Kodiak flew directly out of the atmosphere, and the radar scan showed a strange high-energy mass wrapped around the periphery of the planet.

Countless high-energy matter circulates from the ground, gathers toward the North Pole, and then leads to high altitudes, until it spreads out in all directions until the synchronous orbit.On the radar view, it looks like a gaseous strange plant, the planet is its bulbil (bulb), and the leaves grow out along the magnetic field lines. The final flower faces the sun, as if absorbing the energy of the sun, and hangs down towards the surroundings.

The flowers and leaves are like a giant amaryllis flower that grows upside down, and each piece hangs down like a thread, disappearing at the South Pole, as if being absorbed by the planet again.

The whole earth seems to be some kind of giant imaginary plant that is still alive.

The sun swayed downwards, while the farther sun showed a weird yellow-green halo, and the prominence abnormally sprayed fan-like regular shapes towards the surroundings, like a spherical monster constantly flapping countless wings.

After entering outer space, using the sub-light speed drive, Kodiak only took a few minutes to reach the top of the Wanxiang Sword Sect, and took a few more minutes to land. many months of journey.

Half a month has passed, except for a few people on the mountain who have lost a lot of weight, nothing has changed, and those noble young masters are not the same as before, they look quite sloppy, after all, there are no maids here to bathe them Changing clothes, everything has to be done by yourself.

It turned out that when going up the mountain, everyone, including family members on the mainland, thought that there must be a lot of Taoist boys and servants on the fairy mountain, and disciples like this should be served by dedicated people who are dedicated to seeking Taoism.

It’s no wonder they think so, after all, this is the treatment for rich people to become monks, just like those petty bourgeoisie who go to the countryside or plateau for vacation. They appreciate the beautiful natural landscape, experience the novel farm life, and hope that the local people will always be this simple I don't want them to live in a vulgar concrete forest, and I don't want them to drive a car to destroy this primitive scenery.

It's a pity that they won't stay here for a long time, as long as they are moved and have fun, they will pat their butts and go home before all the troubles come, but the locals probably don't think so.

However, when I went up the mountain, I found that there was no one to serve you at all, and even the land had to be planted by myself, and no one was cooking. Naturally... soon I became a beggar.

And at this time, Xiaoxiao feels that she has finished all the introductory courses that should be taught. She is more obsessed with doing her own civil infrastructure and crop training experiments on the mountain, and of course, there are all kinds of weird skills and device making techniques The test is going to forcibly pile up the sword spirit of the Dragon Bird Sword.

"Are we just farming?" Those farmers were a little nervous

asked, because they were assigned to plant the farmland below and above the mountain.

"Yes, it's enough to plant the land. There are seeds and farm tools, and I teach these few people to plant the land. You are welcome to beat and scold." Although Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, since Li Zao took the bone of the beating man, he It is tantamount to acquiescing that she has the right to control.

"How dare a villain?" Although these guys looked a bit sloppy, their clothes and appearance were the children of noble families.Li Zao arranged jobs for these people, and the little girl who claimed to be surnamed Fan was assigned to the kitchen.

The other girls were placed at Li Xiangling's side. The younger ones were inspected as preparatory disciples, and the older ones also helped in the kitchen and laundry room. At least for girls, female celebrities, laundry and cooking were still more or less familiar. little bit.

The blacksmith was sent to the sword-making platform. He didn't know how to forge weapons and equipment. But it was okay to make some farm tools for the farmers. As for Liu Niang...

"Honored Master, the disciple brought back the sister from the secular family, I don't know if I can..."

"Oh, you can figure it out. If you are walking on the mountain, it is best to learn the method of chemical biology." Xiao Xiao didn't have any opinions at all, and let Li Zao figure it out.

"Thank you, Master!"

"In addition, this disciple walked around the mortal world and found no good seedlings, so he could only collect some as much as possible. After thinking about it for a while, I don't know that Master is oozing about us and the monster race..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can practice, the more samples, the more reliable the data." Although he didn't know what samples and data were, Li Zao still got the permission to recruit Yaozu to get started.

"Those people you brought back, well, those who are suitable can also come to the class, and then let Zhaoxia register the names of those who can practice."

"Yes!" The small meaning is that these are the experimental subjects that need to be observed. Of course, the name and progress need to be registered. Otherwise, how can you tell which mouse is which?But Li Zao's understanding is that only those who can get started will log in their names and enter the door wall, which is regarded as an official disciple.

child.

"Then do disciples also need to register?"

"Yes, you also want it, everyone who came in before has to be refined" What if you can't practice?If you can't practice, you can't practice. Use it as a failure control group to improve.

"By the way, have you bought all the things for the celebration?"

"I've bought all of them. Uncle Zhaoxia asked me to buy drinks, but I don't know which drinks are better, so I bought them all." Li Zao handed over the bag, opened it for a look, and found that they were all bought, and then Pour out everything in it except the ingredients, and let those nervous-looking men take it and place it everywhere.

The drone has already painted the location and comparison map with paint, but, the intelligence and understanding of the bankrupt old farmers in this era are indeed a bit... It took Zhaoxia a lot of effort to direct these people to arrange the main hall.

"Master, this treasure oo..."
