Wu Qingyuan didn't know that master Qian was angry with his dog legs, but he soon got the news about the Qian family's massive purchase of wood from Shiqiao Town and several timber merchants around Shiqiao Town. There was a lot of noise in such a large batch of wood, which he couldn't hide.

Finally, Wu Qingyuan found out who was behind him. Wu Qingyuan was relieved. The enemy was strong and not terrible. He was afraid that he didn't even know who was troubling him. It was necessary to find out his opponent.

In fact, he also counted the Qian family's own affairs this time.

Now his own business has begun to do slowly, and he is bound to compete with others. Even if he has no money, there are other people watching and suppressing him. The cake is so big that it will not be so easy for him to share it. Sooner or later, he will have to compete with the big rich man who controls the economic market within a hundred miles of Shiqiao Town.

Although there are difficulties ahead, he will not shrink back like this. This year he will burn carbon, open shops and plant fields!

Doing business is like this. There can't be no competition, so Wu Qingyuan didn't bite his teeth about the Qian family this time. On the contrary, he gave birth to vigilance in his heart. It's easy to hide a gun from a hidden arrow. He needs to prepare some means of self-protection.

The best way for a businessman to protect himself is to find a powerful man as a backer, but it's not easy. Where is it so easy to find a backer? Besides, if you really want to find it, you have to think carefully before you start, otherwise you will stand in the wrong team, and he will suffer when the powerful man falls.

Unable to find a backer for the time being, Wu Qingyuan decided to buy some domestic servants.

Domestic servants were very common in large families in ancient times. Servants hired with silver were never reliable as domestic slaves restrained by contracts. In this age of 369 and other strict regulations, a single contract was enough to control people's life and death.

If a domestic servant makes a mistake, the master will not take care of the government. On the contrary, if the domestic slave is disobedient and dares to escape, the government will help arrest people together and deal with them with the most severe punishment. To be accurate, the domestic slave is a slave without any right to freedom of life.

He needs such a group of people to help him do things and protect the yard and protect the safety of his family. After all, he can't always bring amo and others around. There are always omissions.

Amer doesn't have any opinion about him wanting to buy domestic servants, but he agrees very much.

Their families are too few. They have to hire people to do everything. Once these helpers have something to do at home, it's easy to quit. There's a secret at home, which is very inconvenient and unreliable. If there are domestic slaves, it's a lot of peace of mind.

Both of them had no problem. After discussion, the husband and the wife went out and went to Jiangyi county again.

There are also tooth sellers in Shiqiao Town, but the town is too small. These teeth are sold by old women who do housework. Wu Qingyuan wants young and strong domestic slaves. Naturally, he has to look for more prosperous counties.

It is not difficult to find a place to trade slaves. In fact, every county and county will have a special organization, which is still approved by the government.

When Wu Qingyuan led ah Mo to the place, the whole trading place was very busy. The officials guarded the earthquake field. All the teeth had a special open space surrounded by fences. As the traded slave, he was disciplined and stood quietly like an animal waiting to be bought.

These people are too poor to afford food, or have no choice but to sell themselves. They sell living deeds and can redeem themselves in the future. Even if they become slaves, the rank of Yamen is still civilians.

Besides them, there are also a group of people with hands tied by ropes and wearing prison clothes. They are court criminals. They are all reduced to the lowest base nationality by the government. They sell dead deeds. Once they become base slaves, if the master doesn't go to the Yamen to carry their nationality in person, their descendants will also become base slaves. They can't participate in scientific research, buy land and own private property, Always a slave without any free rights.

Therefore, such cheap slaves are the most loyal, because if the master is good, they are good. If the master is bad, they and their future generations should not be comfortable!

What Wu Qingyuan wants is this group of cheap slaves sold by the government.

After some selection, he finally bought 18 people. All of them are teenagers and young people aged between 15 and 25 who have no family. This kind of young and strong slave without drag is the best, and he needs the same kind of people.

Of course, the price of slaves with the best conditions is naturally not low, and because they are dead contract slaves, they are sold by the government. Twelve young people under the age of 20 and sixteen young people over the age of 20 spent more than two hundred liang of Wu Qingyuan.

Although the price of a slave may not be as good as an animal, this price has been very high in the slave transaction, because slaves are different from animals. After buying, in addition to eating and drinking, slaves also need to wear and live. In order to win the hearts of the people and be the master, it must also be said that raising people and raising animals are two concepts.

Therefore, you can't afford a slave if you can afford it. Ordinary people don't want to send him a slave. They can't afford to eat. Who dares to raise more?

Wu Qingyuan is still within the price range. In fact, he wants to buy more. However, the government also clearly stipulates that there are certain restrictions on the purchase and ownership of the dead contract slaves of young and strong labor, and there are not so many cheap prisoners in the market. He is lucky to buy 18 people today.

After paying the money and changing the contract with the officials, they finally marked a dozen slaves as cheap slaves in accordance with the regulations. They left the trading place with a dozen slaves.

Because the county is far away, Wu Qingyuan didn't plan to return on the same day. He took more than a dozen slaves to buy some daily necessities for everyone to use in the future, went to an inn and rented Datong shop for one night. Only then did he let the slaves stay in the Inn and go shopping with amo in the afternoon.

They have been busy with the shop for a long time. They haven't had a good rest alone for a long time. Even if amo likes doing business, he is 19 years old. Now he is very happy to go shopping with Wu Qingyuan to relax.

"Brother Wu, look there, look there, juggling. We're lucky. We don't have a festival today. There's juggling! Hurry up, let's hurry up..."

"Ah, brother Wu, look here! What kind of chicken is this? How colorful the tail is! It's so beautiful!"

"Peacock? What is a peacock? Its name is peacock? I don't see its holes, brother Wu..."

"Brother Wu, let's go over there and have a look..."

As soon as playing, ah Mo regained his lively youth nature and took Wu Qingyuan here to see and touch there. Although he had been to the county several times, he was as rare as grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden.

Wu Qingyuan, who originally came out to relax, couldn't help being influenced by him. It was clear that he was also interested in an ancient county that was not even a modern small city.

By the time the sun set in the west mountain, they had toured the whole county.

"Brother Wu, I'm tired..."

The once hard-working little brother is now used to being a spoiled man.

"Come here."

The indulgent man never has a lower limit. Ignoring the surprised targets around him, Wu Qingyuan squatted down and motioned the happy smiling boy to climb onto his back.

Seeing his movements, ah Mo jumped up without embarrassment and urged "brother Wu, let's go."

If he had never dared to do so before, but now he loves the feeling of being spoiled by brother Wu. It doesn't matter. Brother Wu said that they are now husband. Others look at them and have nothing to say. He likes the way brother Wu carries him behind his back.

Ah Mo lies comfortably on Wu Qingyuan's back and smiles sweetly. The people around him can't help covering their mouths and laughing secretly. He secretly says that this must be a young husband who has just married his son. Young people, it's such a passion

The inns in the county are basically concentrated in one street. They walk back from the playing street for a distance. When they arrive at the inn, it is dark at dusk.

Just as they were about to enter the inn, they were suddenly attracted by a lively noise at the gate of the inn.

I saw that at the gate of the inn where they stopped tonight, I don't know what the situation is. At the moment, the crowd is surrounded. With the chattering of the surrounding crowd, there is a faint burst of crying, scolding and complaining, as well as the driving voice of the innkeeper.

Wu Qingyuan heard the voice a little familiar, and ah Mo felt very familiar, so they went over and saw it was a little brother when they approached the crowd.

The younger brother is about twenty-five or six years old. He is an older brother, but he looks very delicate. He doesn't look old, but has all kinds of manners. He is very beautiful. But at the moment, the other party is doing something that doesn't accord with his beautiful face. He is disheveled, covered with dust and tears. He sits on the ground crying and scolding.

No matter how the innkeeper drove him away, he just couldn't get up and sat on the ground crying "Woo woo, do you people have a conscience? I've lost my purse and my luggage has been stolen. I've been hungry all day. I'll sit here for a while. I'm in the way. You still drive me. I'll sit for a while and leave. I'm not in the way. Let me sit for a while. Woo woo, why am I so unlucky..."

"Brother Zhu?!"

When he saw the little brother's appearance, ammerton opened his eyes, and Wu Qingyuan's eyelids jumped. The little brother was no one else. It was the flower building waiter who bought Zhao Haisheng for him, Xiao Zhu!
