Chapter 2043 Buying a Horse
"Compared to the horse-drawn cart, this ox cart is not only a few hours slower, but the red shopkeeper will give us a horse-drawn cart, and I will accept it, but we don't have a driver. Auntie can't drive a horse-drawn cart, and neither can I."
Adoniang nodded again and again, wouldn't she be entangled in the matter of taking a carriage from someone else?
Their family has a carriage now, and it will be easy to return the carriage after taking over, but she is afraid that if they take over the house, they will not return it.
"So we're going to buy a coachman, and we're going to have to find another one to do the work, because I'm too busy."
Adonian nodded again.
"So A Niang..." Shen Qingci stood up and took the bowl to the kitchen as well.
"Let's go buy someone."
And from Shen Qingci's mouth, it seems that A Duoniang refused the reason.
This is all right.
Even if she wanted to say no, she might not even be able to convince herself, let alone someone else.
Another day, Shen Qingci took some time and was ready to go out to buy someone.
She did know about that place, and she also heard from Amei that if someone couldn't survive, they would sell their sons and daughters there, and of course there were also those who sold themselves.
If there are rich people in this world, there will be poor people, and no matter where they are, this kind of business is always necessary.
Otherwise, where did those servants come from?
When it was time, Shen Qingci found out that the place where people were sold in Great Liang was called a horse farm, and he called himself a horse dealer, and regarded people as horses, and it could even be said that people were not as good as horses.
"Girl, do you want to buy a horse?"
A horse dealer took the initiative to greet him, and when he secretly observed what Shen Qingci was wearing, he knew that she was here to buy someone.
"I want a coachman."
Shen Qingci stopped, "He can drive a carriage, and also wants to buy a little girl, between ten and twelve, don't want the big one."
"Please wait a moment."
Naturally, he had many such people in his hands, and soon after, he pulled out a bunch of people, whose feet were all tied tightly with iron bars.
One after another, the clothes on their bodies were torn and thin, and some of them could still see a lot of bloodstains on their bodies, as well as the sour smell, which made Shen Qingci extremely unbearable.
She took a few steps back, also looking at the people in this row.
There are men, women, young and old, big and small.
There are children of three or four years old who are young, and old people who are dying. Of course, these children and old people are the most difficult to sell. Here, they will suffer all kinds of humiliation, but if they are sold away, I am afraid Because of their bodies, if they go to a new family today, they may die tomorrow.
The lives of these people are worthless.
Of course, life and death are also in the hands of the master.
Shen Qingci knew from the history of Great Liang that the slaves here were never treated as adults, and these bought people were the master's personal belongings, just like cattle and horses.
It can be bought and sold again, and it can also be beaten and scolded at will, or even killed.
It can really be said that once a horse is a slave for life.
This is the Great Liang, and it is also the most unfair Great Liang between the nobles and commoners of Great Liang.
Her gaze moved up again, and finally landed on the last man in the row with his chest up all the time. This man was born to be extremely tall, but he just stood there with his eyes parallel, perhaps because he also noticed Shen Qing. He raised his face and looked at Shen Qingci, but there was no brilliance in his eyes, like a pool of stagnant water.
