"Dare to say that the old way is poor, you are poor! Your whole family is poor! The little money you earn, Dao Ye plucks a leg hair that is thicker than your waist! ”

Chen Shu scolded and scolded, and was despised by a hairy child, which is really depressing!

As the saying goes, the meat of the bun is not on the folds, Chen Tuo has been telling people hexagrams over the years, and he doesn't know how much he has earned, and the richness of the waist bag is unimaginable.

At the beginning, the little emperor Liu Chengyou didn't listen to Su Fengji's suggestion, so he asked Chen Tuan to tell the fortune, saying that he was calculating the fortune of the country, but in fact, he wanted to find an excuse to snatch all the wealth in Chen Kuan's hands and enrich his internal funds.

Chen Jian heard the wind and left Beijing in a hurry, so he left Chen Shi behind.

It took Lao Dao two years of hard work to hide the money in his hand and want to come back to find his apprentice, but it turned out that the apprentice was abducted by Ye Hua, and Lao Dao regretted it.

This kid is too honest and doesn't understand the sinister hearts of people, Ye Hua's kid is sharp, early wisdom and easy to die, and he will be unlucky sooner or later.

Chen Jian really wanted to take Chen Shi away, but last time he guessed Guo Wei's mind wrongly, so that Chen Shi no longer believed him. Now he is desperately saying bad things about Guo Wei, wanting his apprentice to change his mind, but Chen Shi is even more stone, and he is determined to run all the way to the black with Ye Hua!

Chen Jian is so worried, he has never been so worried in his life!

"Stone, no matter what, Lao Dao will take you away, if you make a mistake, I can't explain it to your mother!"

Chen Jian sighed for a long time, cheered up, and chased out, he wanted to see what tricks Ye Hua could play!

……

Lao Dao came to the first floor of the courtyard, Ye Hua stood on the steps, and there were 500 stonemasons standing in front of him.

In front of Ye Hua, there were still a few boxes, the difference was that the last time it was filled with money, but this time it was filled with a deed of sale, Ye Hua spent 10,000 yuan to buy a deed of sale for them from the household department.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the world has been unified, and the slavery system has died out. The reason is simple: only yeoman peasants could bear the burden of taxation and forced labor, which served as the basis of the empire and maintained a large bureaucratic army system. Slaves only belonged to their masters and did not contribute wealth and taxes to society, so some measures were taken to free slaves and encourage production through the ages.

However, from another point of view, slaves have not disappeared completely, on the contrary, they have existed almost all the time, and even in troubled times, they will expand and increase rapidly!

This is the case with five generations and ten kingdoms!

First of all, wars are frequent, and wars are fought everywhere, so there is a need for a large number of craftsmen who make weapons and armor, blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, masons, all of them.

Every time they occupy a city, they have to loot the craftsmen, enrich them with the prison of craftsmen, and let them work day and night, with only a meager wage or food, without clothing or food, and even many people are exhausted and starved to death, dark and filthy shacks, like a hell entrenched in the world, and everyone is a hell of a hell, suffering from eighteen kinds of tribulations, and never seeing a way out.

Of course, there is something even worse, after all, the craftsman has a skill, and there is a value of use, those prisoners, either as cannon fodder, or as the servants of the generals, are no different from cows, horses and animals, it is easier to kill a person than a chicken.

In addition, in every round of war, the loser has to pay a painful price, not only lose his life, but his family will also be sold everywhere, and the slightest appearance is either snatched away to become a maid and concubine, or sent to the Qinglou of the government, playing and singing, to please the guests......

Ye Hua observed, and at least three places in Kaifeng were full of slaves right now.

The first is the craftsman supervisor in the Ministry of Works and the army; The second is the home of dignitaries, and the third is the courtyard of various green buildings and paintings.

Out of Kaifeng, the tenant farmers, long-term laborers, and slaves in the hands of the landlords are also numerous, and there are countless of them. Ye Hua doesn't have the ability to manage so many people, but at least he has done things for him, and he can't turn a blind eye.

During the period when he was cultivating the royal road, he went to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to solve the identity problem of these people.

In fact, many of them have been slaves for generations, and they can even be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, maybe even longer, they have no name at all in the household department, they are outright black households, even if they die, they are just the same as cattle, horses and livestock!

Ye Hua felt that he was miserable enough in his previous life, and he went to the funeral home to work as a makeup artist before he became an adult, but in comparison, these poor worms who have been slaves for generations and are precarious, I am afraid they can't even be called people!

Ye Hua endured his anger, coerced and enticed, and asked the people of the household department to reopen 500 deeds of sale and stamp the big seal of the household department. Then at the price of 20 guan per copy, it was sold to Ye Hua.

"You take this deed of sale, go to the Kaifeng Mansion, compile the household, and from now on, you are a good person, an ordinary person! Walking on the road, you can stop your chest, if anyone kills you, don't want to lose a little money! Your children will also be able to go to school, have the opportunity to become court officials, do what they like, and will not be born inferior......"

Ye Hua said, and then handed over the deed of sale to the big guy.

Holding the deed of sale, the eyes of these stonemasons shed big tears, sadness is contagious, and soon the big guy cried.

How many years, how many generations!

That's not what they're looking forward to!

To be a good man, to have a status recognized by the law, only a good man is a man, a slave is a cow and a horse, and a talking beast!

They did things for Ye Hua, and they never had the luxury of getting rid of the status of slaves.

The big guys felt that Ye Hua had given enough money and did things fairly and reasonably, so they were willing to work hard. Where did you think that it helped them become lovers, this kindness is high and thick!

I don't know who took the lead, so I knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Hua heavily.

Some people did this, others followed suit, and the black pressure fell to its knees.

Ye Hua took a deep breath, "You don't have to be like this, Guo Xianggong is in charge of the government, or it won't be long before the slaves will be released and the farmers will be encouraged, I just did it a few months earlier." ”

After Ye Hua finished speaking, he smiled, "Everyone hurry up and go to Kaifeng Mansion to register, don't delay the time." Ye Hua waved his hand and asked the big guy to leave, but none of the people present left.

Ye Hua frowned, and at this time, the stonemason who had talked to Chai Rong crawled a few steps on his knees and arrived in front of Ye Hua.

"Childe's great kindness, for our sake, the little ones are engraved in their hearts, but let us be good people now, forgive us for not daring!"

He explained: "Gongzi is a good person, and Guo Xianggong is also a good official, but now in Kaifeng, every household still has so many slaves, ordnance supervisors, craftsman supervisors, money supervisors, and craftsmen, full of craftsmen. We are beloved, and we may be taken into slavery every day! ”

Ye Hua said with a calm face: "Since you are working under me, I will protect you, whoever dares to arrest someone, I will go to fight a lawsuit with him, don't be afraid!" ”

The stonemason raised his head, his face full of gratitude, but he still shook his head, "Childe, you don't need to be so troublesome. As he spoke, he held up the deed of sale and said loudly, "Please accept it!" ”

The other stonemasons raised the deed of sale together, and they all said: "Please accept it, we are willing to use it as a cow and a horse for Childe, just ask Childe not to ignore us!" ”

Ye Hua is a little stupid, he wants to be a hero who liberates slaves, why did he become a slave owner in a blink of an eye? You must know that from the Later Zhou Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the status of slaves has been continuously improved, the master can no longer kill slaves at will, and the maid servant has become more and more an employment relationship, Ye Hua just wants to follow the trend and brush the favor of the neighbors by the way, why don't you let him do good deeds?

Seeing that Ye Hua was confused, Chen Jian swaggered over and chuckled: "Boy, I know that people's hearts are unpredictable!" The old way advises you, it's better to obey the heavens, your cleverness is not enough! ”

Ye Hua snorted, he grabbed the brush violently, vigorously erased the three words of the deed of sale, and then solemnly wrote "Labor Contract Contract" on it, seven shining big characters!

Then he smiled at Chen, "Old Daoist, have you taken it?" ”
