Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

If we open a supermarket, does that mean my family will have to move to Qingyun City?

Chu Chen immediately shook his head. This Qingyun City was nothing compared to the countryside.

Besides, my efforts to transform Mashan Village have only just begun.

But I just told them that I wanted to open a perfume shop.

For the first time, Chu Chen felt that he was severely understaffed.

Chu Yi and his group were still too young.

My second uncle's family is indispensable at the salt production site.

Why don't we ask Xiaofang to come to Qingyun City, and then have Chu Yi and the others keep an eye on things?

I'll just let Lan Tianlei know and ask him to keep an eye on things; that shouldn't be a problem.

As for the house, let's go buy a few servants first.

I can't expect Xiaofang to be busy all day and then have to cook for me at home. After all, she's my woman.

"You drunkard, are you going to buy people or not?"

Thinking of this, Chu Chen called out to Qingxuan on the roof.

"Buy people? What kind of people?"

"Girl, someone who guards the house."

"Walk................"

The drunkard jumped downstairs, expertly opened the van door, and got in.

The van came to a smooth stop in front of the dental clinic.

Ignoring the stares of those around them, Chu Chen and Qing Xuan got out of the car.

"Young master, would you like to purchase land or a house?"

Upon seeing Chu Chen, who was dressed in fine clothes, walk in, the servant standing at the door immediately came forward to greet him.

Do you have any maids or guards here?

"Yes, yes, yes, the new batch that just arrived recently, the quality is absolutely top-notch, they work hard and eat very little."

"lead the way..............."

This was the first time Chu Chen had ever witnessed the ancient practice of buying and selling people.

Following the servant's footsteps, we walked towards a dirty and dilapidated street.

On both sides of the road, all sorts of people, old and young, men and women, were kneeling.

There are even people with white skin and blue eyes.

If this shop were in modern times, it would probably be shot down with a Gatling gun.

But this was the feudal era, it was legal, can't you believe how infuriating that is?

"Young master, buy me. I eat little and can work."

"Young master, I can warm your bed."

.........................

"What's all the noise about? You're disturbing the young master. You'll all starve to death."

The servant brandished his whip and shouted at the people on the roadside.

Chu Chen felt a pang of pity watching this scene, but he knew he was just one person.

We can't save everyone, and even if we could, we wouldn't do it.

Only a fool would go against policy.

After looking around, I spotted two petite girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

How much are these two?

The two girls noticed a handsome young man pointing at them, and their eyes lit up with excitement.

“Young master has a good eye. This girl used to be a maid in a wealthy family, but her master’s house was confiscated, so she was sent to us.”

“If I chose him, you’d say I have good taste too. Enough talk, name your price,” Chu Chen said, pointing to a woman in her fifties behind him.

However, the maids in wealthy families should be even more obedient, after all, being a maid is a profession.

"These two, twenty taels, not sold separately."

Holy crap, it turns out my father-in-law really got a bargain when he sold Li Qinglian to me back then. I got a steal!

"Twenty taels? Why don't you just rob them? There are only these two girls."

"Young master, with the current market price, we really can't afford to go down any lower."

Seeing this, Chu Chen handed over twenty taels of silver directly, too lazy to haggle at the moment.

"Alright, young master, would you like to wash up?"

What the hell? They offer this kind of service? Do you think they're selling pigs? Isn't this an insult?

He rolled his eyes at the servant, then grabbed the two girls in front of him and started wandering around.

"Young master, can you buy our uncle?"

The slightly older girl spoke timidly to Chu Chen.

Uncle, that's not fair! I'm not a savior, but I'm just looking at how pitiful the two girls are.

I still asked, "What can your uncle do?"

"My uncle was originally a guard, but he was also sold into this family. Please, young master, save him."

"A bodyguard? That's good," Chu Chen thought, turning to look at Qing Xuan.

"Hey, you drunkard, could you take a look at this later?"

Qingxuan nodded without saying anything.

"Young man, where is their uncle? Take us there."

"Ah, young master needs a bodyguard? That man is quite good, quite good..."

The servant left his words unfinished, but still led them toward another room.

Before the group even entered the house, they heard shouts and curses coming from inside.

"You bastard, let me out right now..."

"Young master, this man is highly skilled in martial arts and is an excellent guard. He'll only cost thirty taels."

What a joke! This brokerage firm would love to sell this man off, but he has a fiery temper and no one can control him.

Chu Chen didn't speak, but turned to look at Qing Xuan.

"Not bad, fourth rank, barely acceptable."

Holy crap, barely acceptable. This drunkard is a ninth-rank, meaning he's the strongest fighter in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. This fourth-rank guy can't be weak, right?

So Chu Chen turned to the two girls and said, "Are you sure your uncle is willing to come with me?"

"Please rest assured, young master, I will go and tell him."

After she finished speaking, the older girl went into the house.

"Lan girl, what brings you here? Someone's bought you. Quickly call her in so I can take a look."

"Second Uncle, this young master doesn't seem like a bad person. He happens to need a bodyguard. I beg you to buy him too, so we can go together."

"A bodyguard? Haha, let's see which wealthy family he comes from first."

Damn it, with my short temper, I got picked by someone else the first time I tried to buy a player.

Chu Chen pulled the drunkard into the house.

"I have to see who's so awesome. He's just a fourth-rank official."

Seeing Chu Chen enter with no cultivation level, Zheng Tianlong couldn't help but show a look of disdain.

But when Zheng Tianlong saw Qingxuan following behind him, his heart skipped a beat; this was a master.

I can't see through the other person at all; they must be much more capable than me.

"See that? A ninth-rank expert, my brother. You're just a fourth-rank, what's so great about you? If it weren't for this girl's pitiful state, I wouldn't even want to look at you!"

Chu Chen said fiercely to Zheng Tianlong.

A ninth-rank master? Could this person be Daoist Qingxuan? There is only one ninth-rank master in Qingyun City.

So he quickly said to Chu Chen, "Young master, I have no ill intentions. It's just that these powerful families don't treat me like a human being at all, so..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. If you're willing to come with me, then you have to be loyal. Of course, I definitely won't treat you badly."

"If you don't want to leave, then forget it."

After saying that, Chu Chen led Qing Xuan outside.

"Please wait, young master! I'm willing!"

Upon hearing Zheng Tianlong's words, the servant quickly caught up with Chu Chen and the others.

"Young master, young master, he is willing to leave."

"I don't want it anymore..."

"No, twenty-five taels, no, twenty taels, you can take it."

Upon hearing that it was twenty taels, Chu Chen immediately turned around and stuffed two ten-tael silver ingots into his hand.

"Go, go pick up your uncle..."
