Ling Jiheng nodded.
The broker walked quickly to the backyard and fiddled around in there for a long time before a group of people were brought out.
Ling Jiheng frowned as he looked at their thin bodies and sad faces.
"Where did these people come from?"
I always feel that with the current strength of Youzhou City, there shouldn't be such a miserable person.
The broker smiled and said, "Where else could he have come from? He must have escaped from outside!"
This man came from the capital. I heard that he used to be the owner of a restaurant. On the way to escape, he was chased by bandits and fell off a cliff. He escaped with his life, but his wife and son were killed.
This person came from Daming Prefecture. Before the Zhou family army attacked, she was sold to a brothel by her brother and sister-in-law.
On the day when she was receiving customers, the city was breached and the brothel caught fire. The madam was so angry that she wanted to kill this plague god.
He was rescued by the caravan and brought to the provincial capital.
Farmers don't have any skills and can't support themselves, so they sell themselves."
Ling Jiheng asked someone to look up and found that she was quite pretty.
Although those eyes were timid, they were not cloudy, and they did not look like those of a person with a lively mind.
“And this, I want to be with my brother, but I don’t want to be a concubine.
"You've sold yourself, yet you still have so many demands. Is that a problem?"
Ling Jiheng nodded, picked out ten pretty young girls, and ten handsome young men.
The broker looked at Ling Jiheng in surprise for several times, thinking that he was just like those frivolous masters who were attracted to both men and women.
Ling Jiheng didn't explain and continued to call people.
I found an old woman and an old man with clean hair and nails and bought twenty of them.
Eight more children with unusual bone structures were selected.
The dealer didn't expect Ling Jiheng to be so generous. He bought more than half of their inventory at once.
"Sir, do you really want to buy so many people? The price is not cheap!"
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Calculate how much silver it will cost."
The broker's eyes rolled: "The girls are 45 taels each, a total of 450 taels, and the boys are 50 taels each, a total of 500 taels.
The old woman and the old man had twenty-five taels, a total of five hundred taels. Add the child, and the total was one hundred and sixty taels.
The total is one thousand six hundred and ten taels.
I'll give you one thousand six hundred taels, minus the zero."
Ling Jiheng knew that the price was too high, so he stared at the other party without saying a word.
The broker waited for a long time, his smile froze, before he asked, "Sir?"
Ling Jiheng raised his eyes.
"Is that okay with you?"
Ling Jiheng smiled: "What do you think?
This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other, so when doing business, it's better to be honest!"
The courier touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Well, how about I give you a discount?
15% off, 1,360 taels."
Ling Jiheng made the final decision: "One thousand three hundred taels!"
The dealer cupped his hands to his chest, feeling that this guy was bargaining really hard.
But they had no choice but to do this business. After all, they were running out of food.
She cried and handed the indenture contract to Ling Jiheng, but Ling Jiheng gave it to Chi Xingyue.
He pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out 1,300 taels, and handed it to the other party.
I also asked about the shops nearby.
"It would be better if it's closer to my house, bigger, two-story, or has a backyard."
The broker thought about it and felt that there were several stores that might meet Ling Jiheng's needs, so he said he would take him to see them.
However, since I had bought so many servants today and had to go back to settle them down, I politely declined.
I just asked him to keep an eye on it and that I would ask him to look at the house the next day at the earliest and ten days to half a month at the latest.
The brothel owner instantly suppressed his heartbroken expression and happily escorted the man out the door.
Before getting in the car, Ling Jiheng asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Little Chang Ruan!"
Ling Jiheng nodded and quickly got into the car.
The car swayed forward, with forty or fifty "beggars" following behind. The scene was quite scary.
It attracted many pedestrians to stop.
Ling Jiheng passed by a cloth shop and went in to pick out some dark cotton cloth and the cotton, and had it delivered to the Ling Mansion.
I went to the grain store to buy some coarse grains before going home.
As soon as he entered the door, he called Butler Ling to settle these people.
"From these maids and servants, pick out the clever ones and send them to the shop.
The rest will be trained and sent to various courtyards to serve as personal assistants or do laundry and cooking based on their talents.
The old man and the old woman were responsible for farming and raising pigs, and the younger ones were left to Ling Yi and the others to train.
Those who can't endure hardship will be sent away immediately.
I bought some cloth for them and asked whoever had good craftsmanship to help make some clothes."
Butler Ling nodded in agreement and took his men downstairs to settle them.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue returned to the house and immediately slipped into the space.
The two went to the household registration department and entered the name of the guarantor.
Chi Xingyue pulled the progress bar and started watching from the time when he and Ling Jiheng purchased the Dong family mansion.
Then, the more I watched, the angrier I became.
"This Chang guy has indeed been bribed."
Chi Xingyue suppressed the anger in his heart and laid out the indentures in his hand.
By entering the names one by one, he successfully found out the two spies arranged by Xu Daquan.
A girl and an old man.
The girl's task is to climb onto Ling Jiheng's bed and find out the location of the Dong family's treasure.
The old man cooperated with her and passed the message out.
Chi Xingyue threw away the mouse and looked at Ling Jiheng intently, making him feel guilty.
"Wife, my love for you is evident to all!"
Of course Chi Xingyue knew, otherwise the space would have erased his memory long ago.
But this guy is too disgusting.
In order to obtain uncertain treasure, the family's children were sent to other families as slaves.
What's the plan? It's clearly written in the database!
