The news that Han Qingyun's food stall was recruiting soon spread throughout Baiyun Village.

The people in Baiyun Village were shocked.

Not even two days after the group settled in Baiyun Village, they began to smell the fragrance wafting from the large courtyard all day long.

The smell is so good that they can eat an extra bowl of rice every day just by enjoying the aroma.

What shocked them the most was that their village chief's second son, Bai Yonggui, was actually recruited and paid 600 wen a month. It was said that there would be a bonus at the end of the year, and if he performed well in the future, his salary would be increased.

This is such a good life.

The people from Fengye Village were chosen. Although they were envious, they could also understand. After all, when there is a good thing, their own people will definitely be chosen first.

But what right does Bai Yonggui have?

Because he is the son of the village chief?

But that group of people's attitude towards the village chief was just like that.

Some people have figured it out.

When that group of people first arrived, they had a conflict with their Baiyun Village.

At that time, even the village chief was trying to smooth things over.

Only Bai Yonggui spoke up for the other party, and was scolded by the people of Baiyun Village for being a traitor.

Not only that time, but later someone came to their village with money to inquire about the thing called "Luzhu".

Bai Yonggui also advised villagers not to provoke the people in the large courtyard. He even argued with people who came to inquire about his situation, calling them "ill-intentioned."

Bai Yonggui also carried the oldest person in the group, "Fifth Uncle".

Bai Yonggui helped when those people were putting up the beams of their house.

When the little girl named "Chunniu" almost slipped into the river, Bai Yonggui pulled her up...

The people of Baiyun Village regretted it more and more the more they thought about it.

Why didn't they think about those people trying to get close to each other? Instead, Bai Yonggui, the honest guy, got there first.

I heard from that guy named Yan Dahu that they will be recruiting more people in the future.

If they behave well in front of those people in the future, they should still have a chance, right?

No matter how the people in Baiyun Village felt conflicted and regretful, every family in Fengye Village was very happy.

This was the happiest thing that had happened to them since the conscription, even happier than moving into a new home.

Although not every household has someone working for Han Qingyun's family, as long as they perform well, they will have opportunities in the future.

Moreover, Han Qingyun's family's land was also given to them to cultivate, and Han Qingyun only symbolically collected 20% of the harvest from the fields.

In the afternoon, the eleven newly recruited people all signed a confidentiality agreement with Lu Yanyan.

Seeing Han Dongchen and Zhao Xingye smiling, Zhao Xingwu asked Lu Liang aggrievedly, "Brother Lu Liang, why didn't you choose me? I'm not much worse than my brother."

Although Han Dongchen had a broken hand, he had been practicing Kung Fu more diligently than before recently, and had even asked Lu Liang for some advice on some killer moves.

He is now even stronger than his previous peak period, so Zhao Xingwu doesn't dare to compete with him.

Seeing Zhao Xingwu, a twenty-year-old man, with such a wronged look on his face, Lu Liang felt goosebumps all over his body.

It was obvious that the young master would occasionally show this kind of aggrieved expression to his wife and the old lady, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Lu Liang did not discourage Zhao Xingwu's enthusiasm.

"Our trip to Yuezhou Prefecture will probably take two months to return. There are no martial artists in this village. What if something happens? You must stay here and protect everyone's safety."

When Zhao Xingwu heard this, he immediately straightened his chest.

"Well, Second Uncle will be living in the village more often in the future, and I have to protect him."

Lu Liang patted his shoulder and said, "Well, do a good job."

Lu Liang did not say that he and Lu Yanyan would go to the human market to buy people tomorrow, including selecting a skilled attendant for Han Qingyun.

Let’s leave Zhao Xingwu with a good wish.

The next day, Han Qingyun, Lu Yanyan and Lu Liang set off

When Lu Youtian heard that they were going to the human market, he followed them.

This is not Fengxi Town. It won’t work without people who are loyal to their family. The Lu family has to recruit people now.

This was the first time that Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan saw the ancient human market.

Although the two had prepared themselves mentally, they still felt sad when they saw the man with his hands and feet tied and a numb face waiting for the buyer.

Although the imperial court had regulations prohibiting the arbitrary beating of slaves, this could not be completely prohibited.

Some slaves cried out for hunger and were whipped by the traffickers.

Seeing Han Qingyun and others, several human traffickers surrounded them. They couldn't wait to sell the "goods" in their hands. There were too many of them. Keeping them for one day would consume one day's food.

Lu Youtian did not come with them. He went directly to the human trafficker who had received him last time.

Lu Liang looked at them carefully, then shook his head at Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan.

Yes, most of these people are refugees from famine. They are ordinary people or farmers. How could they have any kung fu?

A human trafficker with a psychic face, seeing the expressions of the three people, immediately guessed that what they wanted to buy were not ordinary slaves.

"Sir, my name is Li San. May I ask what kind of servant you would like? My family is different from others. We have all kinds. Why don't we go to the store first and sit down. I will bring them to you according to your needs, okay?"

Han Qingyun thought about it and agreed, then followed Li San to "Li Ji Dental Clinic".

After sitting down, Lu Yanyan picked up the booklet on the table.

This is a booklet introducing the business of this brokerage firm. In addition to the slave trade, it also provides house rental and sale services.

The booklet was loose-leaf and the paper was actually parchment.

The front is the business introduction, and the middle is the housing information.

The address, area, rooms, etc. of the house are described clearly, and a simple diagram is drawn, with a note indicating whether it is for rent or sale.

Next is the information of the slaves being sold, with their age, gender, height, body shape, specialties, etc. all marked.

There is information about several people on each page, some of which have been crossed out, probably because they have been sold.

However, the information about the slaves is not very complete, at least those outside this store should not have it.

Judging from the notes, they should be slaves with special abilities and high selling prices.

Li San smiled at Lu Yanyan and said, "Madam, you have a good eye. This book is only available in my store. Other stores wanted to learn from us, but they don't have the level."

Lu Yanyan looked up at Li San. This person was no ordinary person. This booklet was at the level of the information directory of an agency in his previous life.

Lu Yanyan handed the booklet to Han Qingyun to take a look, and then gave it to Lu Liang to look at.

Li San looked at them with a smile and said, "I wonder what you and your wife need. I can help introduce them."

"We want to hire...buy some skilled servants."

Lu Yanyan wanted to say "hire", but quickly changed his words.

When Li San heard the word "hire" from Lu Yanyan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into a shadow.

"I wonder if the young master and the lady intend to use these people as guards, servants, or...?"

"One as a personal guard, and two to escort the items."

Li San understood. He came up to Lu Liang and introduced the names that Lu Liang was looking at.

"This Wang Hongwei, 29 years old, was a guard for a wealthy family. He was being ridden like a horse by the young master, but he accidentally threw the young master off, and was subsequently sold out.

This Ma Chao, 21 years old, was originally an escort for the Linfeng Escort Agency. Three months ago, he accidentally broke a porcelain vase worth 800 taels. The Linfeng Escort Agency paid for it, but he was also sent to me.

This Liu Yang, 31, was a martial arts instructor and had a comfortable life. But last year, while out on a business trip, his wife and children accidentally offended a prominent figure and died. Liu Yang's mother fell seriously ill, and not only had they spent all their savings, they also incurred significant debts. Two months ago, his mother passed away, and Liu Yang was left to sell himself to pay off his debts.

……

Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan listened with a mixture of sympathy and anger. What kind of era was this? Wasn't it said that the Great Yu Kingdom governed with benevolence? But what was happening to these people?

Li San saw the pity in their eyes and lowered his head, not wanting others to see his flickering eyes...
