Different generation married man

The first thing to solve is the housework. He can't do it, but he can ask someone to do it.

Thinking of this, he asked Xiao Wu who was walking in front, "Xiao Wu, I want to invite someone to help with some things at home, do you know where I can invite him?"

Su Mo, a fake ancient, is really blind to the common sense of life here, and doesn't know anything.

Xiao Wu asked him, "Do you want to ask someone to clean up the two acres of wasteland in your house? There is no need to ask someone for that. After two days, my brother and I will help you clean it up. You can also call us, anyway, except for hunting in the mountains, we have nothing to do on weekdays."

"It's not asking people to plant the land." Su Mo, the wasteland that Xiao Wu talked about, also knew about it.

Zhuo Yan talked about it roughly, and it can be summarized that Zhuo Yan was discharged from the army due to injury. Seeing that he was a useless person, the old Zhuo family was naturally unwilling to return the original land of Zhuo Yan's family, so he played tricks and spent extremely cheap money , bought two acres of wasteland and gave it to Zhuo Yan.

Then he sent Zhuo Yan out on the pretext of getting married.

Apart from the old house, Zhuo Yan now only has two acres of wasteland. The imperial court stipulated that all fields must not be empty and must be cultivated, otherwise they would be fined money.

Su Mo and Zhuo Yan were two, one hand was useless, and the other was useless in leg, so naturally they left them there and ignored them.

"Then who do you want to invite?" Xiao Wu was even more puzzled.

"I'm not good at cooking, and it's somewhat inconvenient for Ah Yan, so I just wanted to invite someone home to help with housework and cooking." When it came to not being able to cook, Su Mo's face showed no guilt, Very frankly.

On the contrary, Xiao Wu gave him a subtle look for several times, until Su Mo looked puzzled, then coughed lightly and turned his eyes away, "Actually, you don't need to invite him, just buy a servant and go back."

It was only then that Su Mo remembered that human trafficking is legal in this era. After a moment of silence, he said, "How to buy?"

Regarding the matter of buying people, and living in a modern society that advocates human rights, I feel somewhat conflicted.But since he came here, he has no power to change anything, and can only try to adapt.

"Generally, if you want to buy someone, you can just go to the bank to find someone. However, Minzhou was in trouble before, and some refugees flooded into Yuncheng. There are many people in Beiwei Lane. Because they really can't survive, many people intervene. If you want to buy it, Su Xiaolang, we will go to Beiwei Lane." Xiao Wu obviously knew the situation in Yuncheng very well, and suggested.

"Go!" Su Mo has always done things straightforwardly, and since he has made a decision, he will never procrastinate.

Xiao Wu took Su Mo around and walked around for about half an hour before arriving.

The so-called Beiwei Alley is a dilapidated alley about a hundred meters long, where refugees from Mingzhou are all sitting or lying down.

Both men and women are dressed in rags, with yellow and thin faces, and there is no trace of life in the empty eyes. It is the numbness after compromising life, and even the air seems to be floating with a breath of death.

Su Mo found that there were hardly any old people or children here.

It is also in such natural disasters that the elderly and children with weak constitutions are the first to be eliminated, and most of the people who can survive all the way here are young and middle-aged.

In the chilly spring, the refugees huddled together in twos and threes, trying their best to absorb the warmth.

Some people huddled in the corner without moving, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.Some people have a piece of dead grass on their heads, which means selling themselves.

There are also some, judging by their clothes, they should be the stewards of wealthy families. They pick and choose among the crowd, and after negotiating the price, they will be taken away as soon as they sign the book.

Since then, I have been a slave and a handmaiden, life and death are involuntary, no different from pigs and sheep in the market.

Su Mo stood at the entrance of the alley without moving.

There is a tall locust tree at the entrance of the alley, casting a huge shadow, like a door, dividing the alley into two completely different worlds.

A few steps away, there is bustle and hustle and bustle, singing and dancing are peaceful; but in the alley opposite is a group of refugees who have become extravagant to survive.

Although he had prepared himself mentally before coming here, after actually seeing it with his own eyes, the shock that came face to face still made it difficult for Su Mo to recover for a long time.

It wasn't until this moment that Su Mo really realized that this was a world he was not familiar with.A human life here may not be as valuable as a valuable object in the eyes of some people.

At the same time, he also understood that Zhuo Yan had done his best to him.If Zhuo Yan really pursued it, his fate would be almost the same as these people, or even worse.

At this time, he was grateful to Zhuo Yan from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he should treat him better in the future.

Seeing that Su Mo had been standing at the entrance of the alley and did not go in, Xiao Wu looked puzzled, "Su Xiaolang, what's the matter?"

Su Mo came back to his senses, calmed down, and said to Xiao Wu, "It's nothing, let's go!"

The two of them just stepped into Beiwei Alley, and the refugees in the alley all focused their eyes on the two of them, with ardent expectations.

A middle-aged man dressed in management came up, gave a slight salute to Su Mo who was walking in front, and said, "Do you two need to buy some servants?"

"Yes. You are..." Su Mo stopped, and the man immediately said, "My surname is Chen, and I was originally the steward of the officials in Yuncheng. Now I am temporarily in charge of the affairs of Beiwei Lane. All purchases and orders are under my control." Responsible."

Su Mo knew from Xiaowu that human trafficking is legal in Daqi.

Among them, it is divided into official and private. Officials are managed by the government. Most of the people bought and sold are prisoners of war, or the relatives and servants of officials who have been convicted.

Private children are generally private human trafficking, so it is relatively chaotic, and it will involve some human trafficking.

However, those who do private child business have certain forces behind them, as long as they don't go too far, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye.

Minzhou is in trouble. Although the government will provide relief to these refugees who have fled, they are limited in their ability to resettle these many people at once.Selling oneself into slavery is actually a way out.

At this time, don't talk about freedom or not. When a person's survival becomes a problem, dignity or something will become less important.

In order to avoid causing market chaos, the government's involvement in this matter can be regarded as a guarantee for some expediency of the refugees, at least they will not be maliciously lowered the price.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Mo understood the intention of the Yuncheng County Government's move, so he nodded and said his request, "I need a good cook, it doesn't matter if it's male or female."

"Two wait a moment." Chen Guanshi turned around and shouted at the group of people in Beiwei Lane, "Is there anyone who knows how to cook, please stand up, hurry up, don't dawdle."

Following the yelling of the steward, some people stood up from the corner and walked in front of the three of them in twos and threes, with dirty faces full of longing.

He said earnestly, "Xiao Lang, choose me. I can cook, I am strong, and I can do other jobs."

"Buy me, I used to help the cook in a restaurant, and you can like the dishes I cook."

The whole scene was noisy for a while, and Chen Guanshi drew his voice to stop, "Everyone is quiet, everyone stand up one by one, don't talk."

There were a dozen or so people who stood up this time. Hearing what Chen Guanshi said, they immediately stood in a row.

Su Mo walked to the front, sized up these people, got a preliminary impression in his mind, then pointed to a woman standing in the front, and said, "Starting with you, tell me about your own situation."

The woman looked to be in her thirties. She was dressed in rags and sackcloth, which could barely cover her body. Her thin face was patched with gray, and she couldn't tell her original appearance. Only a pair of eyeballs could be seen in the eye sockets. Turn around.

Being pointed by Su Mo, although there was surprise on his face, there was no panic.He only used his hands to straighten his somewhat messy hair, and straightened his clothes before he took two steps forward and stood in front of the people.

The woman bowed to Su Mo first, then straightened her body, lowered her head slightly, and said, "The little lady's husband's family name is Wang, and she is the master chef of the restaurant. The little lady has also learned some cooking skills from the husband. Get by."

Su Mo squinted his eyes slightly to look at the woman, and said inexplicably, "Since your husband is a post-cook chef, his family background is good, so why did he end up here?"

The woman smiled wryly when she heard the words, "This time there was a flood in Minzhou, and unfortunately the little lady's husband also went there. It is said that water and fire are merciless. Facing such natural disasters, it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, you will inevitably escape in the end." A catastrophe."

Speaking of this, the woman's voice was a little choked up, but she still forcibly held back her sleeves and wiped her eyes.

"Yeah." Su Mo didn't say anything more, and the woman bowed again and retreated.
