Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After finishing here, Qinghe drove the donkey cart to the town. After delivering the goods to Linglong Pavilion and Yuelai Restaurant and collecting the payment, he took the plow drawings to the blacksmith shop to find Zhang the blacksmith. When Zhang the blacksmith saw the drawings, his eyes lit up.

"Miss Chu, what is this plow harrow used for?"

"Brother Zhang, this is for plowing the land. My family is reclaiming land now, but manual labor is too slow, so I want to make a plow and use an ox to plow the land, so that the reclaiming speed will be faster."

"Great! This plowshare can open up so much more land! But Miss Chu, the government has regulations on the amount of iron that can be used. I have to report to the government before I can make it. I guess I can only make one plowshare." When Zhang the blacksmith saw the plowshare drawing, he thought Miss Chu was very clever.

"Okay, it will be ready in a few days, I'll come pick it up then."

"Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning and it will be done in about five days." Blacksmith Zhang looked anxious and he wished he could make the plow today.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, I'll come back to get it in six days."

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Qing He went to the dental shop to find Zhao Hu. The shops in the town needed to be renovated, and the two factories needed people to manage them. Linglong Pavilion also needed someone to be in charge. As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts. No matter in which era, people are driven by interests and interests are paramount. Qing He must make money here to live a rich life. To do business, you need not only connections but also people. You don't have connections yet.

The problem of personnel can be solved. The villagers can solve part of the employment problem, but when it comes to secret recipes, confidentiality and management issues, we still need our own talents. Having a contract of sale can provide more constraints and reduce trouble.

When Zhao Hu arrived at the brokerage, his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Chu Qinghe. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister, you are here. Do you want to look at houses or buy slaves today?"

"Brother Zhao, come and see if there is anyone suitable today. If there is, take him back."

"Yes, yes, yes. A group of them just arrived these past two days. They are official slaves. There is also a group of servants from the master's house. Wait, I'll have someone bring them to you for a look."

In a short while, his men came in with a group of people. They were still wearing prison uniforms. After entering the door, they stood in a row neatly with their heads hung, looking lifeless and as if they had lost all desire to live.

"Brother Zhao, are there any special people among these people? I want as many suitable people as possible today." Chu Qinghe explained his requirements to Zhao Hu.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned to the people standing there and said, "If anyone among you has a special skill, tell us where you worked before and what you are good at. If anyone makes false reports, you will be sent to the government and severely punished. Do you understand?" Then he asked the shop assistants to take paper and pen to write it down.

"I am Sun Hu, good at planting. I used to be the head of the farm. I am good at planting crops, flowers, and fruit trees." A middle-aged man with dark skin and a strong figure stood up, clasped his hands together and bowed, and reported his expertise one by one. The recorder carefully wrote it down, dried it, put it aside, and took out a piece of paper and said, "Next."

This was a woman with a pretty face and a thin figure who came out and knelt on the ground: "I am good at needlework and embroidery, and I know a little cooking. If the master can buy me, I have a request. Please buy my son as well." After saying that, she kowtowed in the direction of Chu Qinghe.

Chu Qinghe couldn't stand this and quickly asked her to stand up and talk.

As they were talking, they were taking notes. Some of the people who came out one after another could make wine, some could make bricks, some could do carpentry, and some could cook. Chu Qinghe felt that all of them could stay.

Finally, there were a few people who she thought were pretty good, but seeing their hesitant expressions, she really didn't want to give up this opportunity, so one of them stepped out and said to Chu Qinghe:

"Boss, I'm Zhang Yunsheng. I can keep accounts and do business well. My elder brother is good at studying and can be an accountant. My sister can also work. It's just that my father is sick and we can't afford the expensive medicine. Our family is at a dead end. We only ask that our family be bought together. If the young lady can buy our family, we will repay you and swear allegiance to you until death." After saying this, he kowtowed to Chu Qinghe solemnly.

Chu Qinghe looked at the ancient people who knelt at every turn, feeling helpless, "Get up first, I'll go with you to see your family later."

Zhang Yunsheng couldn't hide his happiness when he heard Chu Qinghe say this: "Thank you, young lady."

In this way, Chu Qinghe picked three girls aged twelve or thirteen, and two little boys about ten years old, and paid fifty-five taels of silver in advance.

Then he followed to see Zhang Yunsheng's father, and from afar he could hear his heart-wrenching cough, mixed with the sound of patting his back and talking.

"Her father, bear with it for a moment, I'll get you some water."

"Forget it. I know my own body well. It's better for me to die early so as not to cause trouble for my family who have to sell themselves into slavery for me."

As they were talking, Chu Qinghe, Zhao Hu and Zhang Yunsheng and their group had already arrived in front of them. Chu Qinghe took a quick look at Zhang Yunsheng's father and saw that he was thin and weak, with difficulty breathing, and the blood from coughing at the corners of his mouth had not been wiped clean. It was certain that the old man was in the late stage of tuberculosis. In this era, if you got tuberculosis, which was called pulmonary consumption in ancient times, you could only wait to die. No wonder the family had emptied their savings but there was no effect.

Perhaps it was fate that allowed them to meet Chu Qinghe, and turned the door of death into the door of life.

After seeing Zhang Yunsheng's father, Chu Qinghe knew what he wanted. He said to Zhao Hu, "Brother Zhao, I want this family too. How much money do you think it will cost?"

Zhao Hu thought that Chu Qinghe would turn around and leave after seeing her. After all, tuberculosis cannot be cured, and he would have to spend money to treat him. In the end, not only would he waste money, but he might also be infected. Recently, several families who wanted to buy slaves had their eyes on several men in the family and the girl of this family, but they gave up because they insisted on taking their father with them. Unexpectedly, Miss Chu bought the medicine. Based on his conscience, he could not ask for more silver, so he charged six taels for men and four taels for women. Old man Zhang took one tael of silver. After the settlement, Chu Qinghe asked Zhang Yunsheng to put their father on his donkey cart and took the twenty-two people back to the newly bought village.

The people were arranged to live in the servants' room, and the men and women were arranged to live separately. Zhang Yunsheng's family was also divided into several rooms according to the population. The houses were allocated, but there were no leaflets or bedding in the rooms. Everyone was still wearing patched clothes or prison uniforms. Chu Qinghe first explained the situation to everyone:

"Today is the first day that you have come to my house. I, Chu Qinghe, have no other requirements for you. The only requirement is that you work hard and do your best, and don't play tricks. You don't have any work to do these days, so take a good rest first. In the future, as long as you do a good job, you will get one tael of silver every month. There will also be red envelopes every month based on your performance. The better your performance, the more you will earn."
