After the divorce, the pregnant belly was discovered by the ex-husband

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Fang Qianxue took brothers Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi to the population market to select people.

"Zhou Ren, let's go to the largest population market."

"Yes, ma'am."

The largest population market is in the southern suburbs of the imperial capital.

This market is different from the market for selling cattle and horses. The market for selling livestock is open for business.

Whether rich or poor, everyone can go there to buy and sell.

However, this population market is different, as it is basically monopolized by aristocratic families.

All the big families have human beings business, buying and selling human beings is a business for them.

Fang Qianxue comes from a society where everyone is equal, or at least a society that appears fair on the surface.

The most basic human rights are still guaranteed. So Fang Qianxue is extremely uncomfortable with such humiliating practices of locking people in cages and selling them at auctions like livestock or commodities.

She knew that she was unable to change the current situation.

But looking at those people locked in cages is really shocking. Maybe if I buy a group of people, I can change their fate.

The shops here are next to each other, but the goods inside are people.

"Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi, you guys go ahead and pick one for me that can drive a carriage.

Pick out a few strong ones for me to keep by my side.

I can't choose, so I'll leave it to you." Fang Qianxue was in a bad mood. She was not a saint, and it was difficult to soften her cold heart.

But even she couldn't stand it here, so she couldn't choose anyone, so let the two brothers go!

The brothers Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi felt even more depressed than Fang Qianxue because they were bought from this market by the Zhou family when they were young.

It can be seen that the young lady is a kind person and she can't bear to see the miserable plight of these people.

Yes, it was really miserable. The people in the cages were ragged and unkempt.

With two hands grasping the railings, those pairs of eager eyes looked outside through the cage.

They want to be bought, but they are afraid of being bought

Being bought is a gamble. You don't know who the owner is, or whether he is a good person or a bad person.

Some masters are cruel and do not take human life seriously. To those people, their lives are worthless.

Zhou Yi stayed behind to protect Fang Qianxue, while Zhou Ren went alone to pick people.

The lady said that it would be best if someone could read and had a skill. But such people were more expensive, about four gold coins each.

Zhou Ren went to several houses before he picked out more than 20 people. The lady trusted him so much, so he must take it seriously, and these people will follow him in the future, so buying the right people will save a lot of trouble.

I bought twenty-five of them for 100 gold coins.

These people standing in a row are even worse than beggars on the street.

Their hair and beards are so long that their appearance is hard to tell, but when they were buying people just now, they all showed their skills. Some of them can do accounting and some have martial arts skills.

I don’t know why these capable people were sold like slaves.

Later, Fang Qianxue found out that these people had committed crimes and were sentenced. Regardless of whether they were innocent or not, they were locked up anyway.

As a result, the local police chief enriched himself and sold the prisoner privately.

Some of them had been sold several times. Fang Qianxue threw their indentures into the space.

Zhou Yi hired two large trucks to transport these people.

When they arrived in the Imperial Capital, Fang Qianxue instructed Zhou Yi to take these people to the clothing store and buy several sets of clothes for each of them.

Now Fang Qianxue’s courtyard is full of people.

The people who came later washed up and changed into clean clothes, bought some daily necessities, and lived in one room with several people.

Zhou Ren and Zhou Yi were each assigned 10 people. They taught the rules to the people they led.

The remaining five with good skills served as guards for Fang Qianxue.

There are not enough carriages at home, so we have to buy two more.

All in all, I have very little money left.

In the afternoon, Fang Qianxue went to "Mishang Home Textiles". It seemed like Fang Qianxue hadn't been there for several days.

"Qianxue, she's here." Pan Yunzhi was greeting the guests.

When he saw Fang Qianxue coming in, he asked the shop assistant to greet the customer.

"Yunzhi, you should pay more attention to rest. How can your body bear it if you continue like this?" Fang Qianxue noticed that Pan Yunzhi's face was a little pale.

Yes, she has been so busy these days that she almost forgot that Pan Yunzhi was still unsteady when walking a month ago.

"I have been training Zhong Liang. I am tired." He has not had a good rest since the opening of the company, and his physical strength has long been overdrawn.

These days he has been training Uncle Zhong's eldest son, Zhong Liang, to be the shopkeeper.

Zhong Liang can read and do accounting, and is a steady person. But he has no choice but to add more staff to the kitchen.

Fortunately, he was purchased and his indenture was in the hands of his master, so he did not dare to betray him easily.

The dumpling restaurant is doing so well these days that it is packed with people lining up for seats.

Five more people were added to the kitchen, otherwise it would have been too busy.
