Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 41 I will help you escape from slavery in just 2 years

This girl, I am not bragging, we have the most servants in the pawnshop within a hundred miles, and they are also the best trained. These servants are absolutely obedient, and it is definitely worth the money to buy them back!" Wang Po boasted proudly.

Jiang Xue didn't plan to buy too many servants, just a dozen or so to keep the two oden snack shops running. "What do you want to do with them, young lady?" Seeing that she was still hesitant, Wang Pozi wanted to help her make a decision.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was asking questions, Jiang Xue spoke out her idea: "I plan to open two snack bars in the town. I need four cooks with good cooking skills, two accountants who can read and do accounting, two waiters, and two cleaners."

Mrs. Wang was delighted. She knew that this girl was a big customer. She decided to recommend her to the girl.

''The family on the left came from a wealthy family that had committed a crime. They are absolutely good. There are a total of ten people, all of whom are indentured. The oldest one is called Chen Dafu, 46 years old this year. He used to be a steward. Next to him is his wife Chen Yan, 44 years old this year. She used to be a nanny. He has three sons and two grandsons in total; the eldest son is called Chen Daniu, 28 years old, who is a groom. Next to him is his wife Chen Yang, 25 years old. This person meets the requirements of the girl very well. She used to be a cook; the second son Chen Ziyu is 24 years old. He is the companion of the young master of that family. He has been following the young master to do business for many years. He has no problem being an accountant. His wife Chen Liu is 21 years old and is also a cook; the third son Chen Zixue is 20 years old. He used to be a guard. His wife Chen Liu is an embroiderer; the eldest grandson Chen Zheyu has been going to school with the young master of that family since he was 10 years old. If the girl has a young master who is studying, he can be a companion. The youngest grandson Chen Zhefei is 3 years old this year. ''

"Girl, this family is definitely of high quality, but the price is a little expensive, and they just came here not long ago." Mrs. Wang kept talking. Jiang Xue thought it was a good idea to buy this family. They worked together, many people met her requirements, and the manager was also good. She looked at Mrs. Wang excitedly: "How much does this family cost?"

Mrs. Wang wanted to make friends with the girl in front of her, and had a premonition that she would achieve great things in the future, so she stopped asking for a high price and gritted her teeth and gave a minimum price: "Except for the three-year-old kid, everyone in this family is very capable and can be considered high-quality. I'll give you my minimum price. You are all old customers, so I won't lie. One hundred and sixty taels, and this family will be yours, and the little one can be considered a gift from me to you." "I'm not bragging, Mrs. Wang, you can't get this kind of person in the county town without spending more than two hundred taels." Mrs. Wang looked at the other party sincerely, waiting for her to speak.

Jiang Xue nodded, a little hesitantly. She felt that there were too many people and the number was obviously not enough, although she was not short of money.

"Since this young lady has visited us several times, I will take the initiative and give her another maid. If it weren't for the fact that this young lady and I get along well, I wouldn't have given her one!" Mrs. Wang bit her lip and pointed at the girl next to her.

Jiang Xue looked in the direction where Mrs. Wang's hand was pointing, and saw a pale and thin girl who was obviously from a poor family.

But think about it, if it's not a poor family, who would sell their children! After thinking about it, Jiang Xue decided to buy it. At most, she could buy a house! It's rare to meet someone you like, so she said, "Okay, I'll take 160 taels."

Mrs. Wang was delighted and began to introduce other people: "This is Zhong Ziqi, 36 years old this year, a scholar, and a man with a miserable life. He was framed and his future was ruined, and he even lost his position as a scholar. In addition, his mother was seriously ill at home, and he was disheartened at that time, so he sold himself into a death indenture. But he is a little arrogant, and ordinary people don't look down on him."

"Scholar?" Jiang Xue looked at the bookish man next to her and was a little surprised, but when she thought of this poor era, she shook her head.

"The twins, named Huzi and Langzi, are 15 years old. They can definitely be waiters. They are very smart. And the couple, the man is Wang Youcai, 31 years old, a cook. His wife is Wang Chenshi, 26 years old, a cook.

This man used to be a chef in the state capital, but he got into trouble and was sold to our town." Speaking of the last person, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Xue was very interested in the scholar. Everyone was listening attentively, but he was the only one who lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand. She thought for a moment, walked over and asked, "Do you like reading books?"

Zhong Ziqi did not raise his head.

"Follow me and I can help you escape from slavery in two years." Jiang Xue wanted to recruit the man in front of her, even at the cost of escaping slavery.

Zhong Ziqi lowered his head in shock, shook his head and looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Even if I get rid of my slavery, what can I do? My ambitions are destined to have nowhere to go. Miss, you should look for someone else."

Suddenly he remembered that he was preparing to take part in the Autumn Examination that year, and he had chosen to compete with that young man for the championship in the poetry competition. At that time, he was young and arrogant, and thought he had some knowledge, so he wanted to win the championship. However, he didn't know the operation behind the poetry competition. He offended that man and lost his face, caused his family to be broken up, and lost the opportunity to take part in the Autumn Examination. In the end, he couldn't even keep the title of scholar.

"You don't have to go to the imperial examination to be ambitious. You can train talents and send them to the country. This is also an ambition. I can build a college for you in the village and you can be the dean. Of course, this is just the beginning. Believe me, your future is not just like this. If one day in the future I have grown up to the point where I can seek justice for you, I will definitely clear your name." Jiang Xue didn't want to miss the person in front of her. She felt that the person in front of her was a talented person, but he had nowhere to display his ambitions. She just happened to lack such a talent. She wanted to train the children of the clan and needed such a person, so she continued to persuade the other party.

"Cultivate?" His heart skipped a beat and his eyes were a little confused, but he seemed to see a bright light in the distance and finally found the meaning of life.

Although he didn't know whether what the girl said was true or not, he was still willing to give it a try.

He raised his head, as if he had made up his mind, looked at the other person and said, "Girl, I am willing to go with you."

Jiang Xue smiled, turned around and asked Mrs. Wang: "How much does he want?"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, but after thinking about it, she quoted a price: "When I bought him, I spent sixty taels, young lady, look..." At the beginning, this man was a scholar, although he was expelled, but who didn't know him at the time? After all, the title of Jinshi was easy for him to get. At the beginning, many families wanted to buy him to be a teacher, and some offered more than one hundred taels, but he didn't like it and didn't want to. When I signed the death contract, I promised to let him choose by himself, so it has been delayed until now and has not been sold.

"I want all those people you mentioned just now. Of course, I also want Zhong Ziqi. Just name a price." After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she waited for Wang Po to speak.
