Going home, this is what Lu Hanqiang is looking forward to the most and can't let anyone stop it.
Going back and forth outside the city, running back and forth has become Lu Hanqiang's habit, but this is also helpless, who made the old lady resolutely not to go into the city to rent a house to live, she can only run at both ends.
To tell the truth, putting the family in a broken temple outside the city, Lu Hanqiang is indeed unsteady, although the people are simple now, but more and more displaced people are definitely hidden dangers to public security.
Sleeping with my mother's family not only does not make people feel lonely, but also allows me to make this family feel a little safe.
Of course, now Lu Hanqiang's career, in fact, strictly speaking, the enterprise has been formed, although the expenditure is very large, but there is still a slight surplus, so Lu Hanqiang decided to ask the shopkeeper Zhang at noon today, gritted his teeth and bought a horse and a carriage.
The current shopkeeper Zhang has definitely become Lu Hanqiang's manager spokesperson, but it is more of Lu Hanqiang's housekeeper role, of course, he expressed absolute support for Lu Hanqiang's purchase of carriages, so he is absolutely attentive to the operation. personally rushed to Chema City and carefully selected for Lu Hanqiang.
Horses are not uncommon in Daming, in the market, as long as ten taels of silver can buy a good horse, the car, is also ten taels of silver, of course, according to the habits of the current scholars, the car with a curtain in Qingwei, spacious and comfortable, and a thick cushion, knocking on the body, are made of good wood, quite strong, but there is no shock absorption and no bearing, which makes Lu Hanqiang very regretful.
Of course, the sedan at this time and the future generations are not the same concept, but at this time, being able to own a carriage is definitely a symbol of the nouveau riche.
What Lu Hanqiang didn't expect was that the shopkeeper Zhang not only sold Lu Hanqiang a car and horses, but also bought a car boss for Lu Hanqiang in the market.
The car boss, a cowering old man, with knots on his body, knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Lu Hanqiang, Lu Hanqiang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled it up, and asked the shopkeeper Zhang for some reason, "Brother, what's going on, I'm just buying a carriage, but I must not hire the car owner, in that case, my mother will nag to death." ” The shopkeeper laughed and said: "This is not hired, it is signed, you don't need to spend anything, just two meals a day, two clothes a year."
As he spoke, he smiled and pulled Lu Hanqiang to walk away two steps, and said nonchalantly: "This old guy is a hungry man on the side of the road, I just bought a carriage and passed by there, just your brother and me, of course I can't drive the car, this old guy just saw it, so he stepped forward to recommend himself, saying that he is an old man who raises livestock and drives, and is willing to sell himself, and he will make five dollars, I looked at him Although his body is a little thinner, but he is not sick or sick, and then I took him to the tooth shop, did the formalities, and let him come over to live your eyes."
Buying and selling people, Lu Hanqiang was taken aback, he still didn't have that kind of psychological bearing, although he told his mother in the broken temple that he wanted to enjoy the corruption of feudal society, but this buying and selling of human beings is no longer in it, and the concept of equality in later generations has long been deeply rooted in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Hanqiang was a little unhappy, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly explained: "Sir, don't be unhappy, this is also a matter of accumulating virtue, you bought him alone, and with that five yuan of money, maybe you will save the family behind him, besides, you should also have a subordinate entourage at this time, or you won't be able to fiddle with this carriage." ” At this time, the old man kneeling there had pointed ears, and immediately said: "Young master, my body is a little thinner, but I am not sick, as long as I have two full meals, even the young man will not be able to catch up with me."
Then Ai Ai kowtowed again: "Ask the young master to buy me, just five times the money, or four times the money, as long as I have these four times the money, I can let my wife and two children survive this snowy winter."
As he spoke, he covered his face with his tattered sleeves, and his voice whimpered: "As long as you survive this winter, there will be wild vegetables next spring, and as for whether you can survive any longer, that's God's business."
As he spoke, he lay on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Hanqiang while crying bitterly.
Lu Hanqiang hurriedly went up, pulled up the old man, and said in a choked voice: "I'll give you the money, but if I don't buy your body, just work for me, and I'll do it again in a month" and then looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, I really don't know how much the salary increase in this era is.
Seeing Lu Hanqiang say this, the shopkeeper Zhang was in a hurry, what is the matter, not to mention the money, but also to pay the salary, this is not okay, and resolutely stop this kind of loser's behavior.
"The rules of the industry can't be wrong, I said it to people, as for the monthly money, the current market is only 500 wen a month."
"No, I definitely don't buy people."
Lu Hanqiang resolutely rejected Zhang's proposal.
The shopkeeper glanced at the old man who was so disappointed that he was close to despair, and hurriedly smiled and drank Lu Hanqiang's defense: "If you want to talk about buying and selling human beings, we are absolutely forbidden in the Ming Dynasty, and it is to cut off the head, we are not buying, we are hiring, but it is more years." ” "How many years," Lu Hanqiang asked angrily.
"Actually, it's not long, just seventy years."
This is not long, you look at his age, if he lives for another thirty years, it will be considered a long life, four dollars, two meals a day, two clothes a year, and he will buy out people for 70 years, this is not a business or something, isn't this just the Japanese fooling foreign devils "Young master, young master, please, buy me, I don't want the monthly money, three times, just three times."
The old man lay on the ground again and kowtowed, begging Lu Hanqiang bitterly.
As long as there are three pieces of money, you can let the family survive this winter, as for the future, it is the destiny of heaven, the big deal is to wait for the family to die, find a rope to hang yourself, and follow them.
Under the crying of this old man, Lu Hanqiang still relented, and was able to go to the point of selling himself, that is to say, he was already in a desperate situation, so save it, besides, he was absolutely a layman to drive a carriage, and he couldn't say that as soon as he went out, he would have a car accident.
Reluctantly, he pulled up the old man again and said to the shopkeeper: "Okay, then leave him." ” Seeing the ecstatic old man, Lu Hanqiang said to the shopkeeper Zhang: "Give him the deed money, four times, and the monthly money will be calculated according to 500 yuan, as for the number of years."
He turned to the old man and said, "I don't want your seventy-year contract, we will sign it every three years, and after three years, you can leave if you want, and stay if you want, okay."
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow again, but Lu Hanqiang grabbed him again: "Remember, I can kowtow to others, and you can kowtow to others, but we must not kowtow to each other, this is my rule." ” The old man was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this is a good young master, not only has a good heart, but also can be more considerate, so he nodded again and again: "Young master, save my family, I won't go anywhere, I will wait for you for the rest of my life." ” Lu Hanqiang was in a somewhat better mood at this time, "Don't talk about it for the rest of your life, I don't know your old surname until now." ” "Don't dare your surname, you don't dare to be the old one, so the young master will give it a name casually."
Lu Hanqiang frowned.
The shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly explained: "This is the rule, when you enter your mansion, then follow the surname of the master's family, you can give it a name casually, it's just an auspicious word for Fu Lushou or something." ” Lu Hanqiang refused at the time: "In the world of life, the ancestral surname cannot be changed, and I have no right to change it, and I am not buying you, just hiring, you are still the original surname, your old noble surname" This said, the old man's tears came down again, selling himself as a slave is to abandon his ancestors, and this young master did not let himself change his surname and gave up his ancestors, the sky and the earth are big, the ancestors are the largest, this is the kindness of the heavens and the earth, so he wanted to kneel again, Lu Hanqiang frowned, he supported him eight hundred times this day, and he was not tired of death.
This old man also has eyesight, as soon as he saw Lu Hanqiang frowning, he immediately understood the young master's thoughts, quickly stood up straight, and replied in a proper manner: "The little surname is Zhang, you can call me Lao Zhangtou." ” "Ah, it's Uncle Zhang."
Lu Hanqiang said casually, and this Uncle Zhang immediately made the old Zhang Tou sincerely frightened.
Lu Hanqiang didn't care about him, so he smiled and said: "I'll bother you to drive me in the future, and besides, I won't serve this animal, so I have to worry about you." ” "Whatever the young master says, this is my duty, you can leave this matter to me, and I will ensure that this carriage and horse will not be damaged."
Lu Hanqiang thanked him, and then turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Zhang, "I have no place to stand now, this carriage and horse."
"No, I just raised it in the backyard of this teahouse, and it would be good to have a house in a few days."
"Then it's going to be a problem for my brother."
"I can't say it, I can't say it, there is a stable behind the teahouse, which is for those guests who come from afar to store carriages and horses, which is just right."
There is no need to be polite to drink a shopkeeper, if you are polite, it will be a foreign way.
Watching Lu Hanqiang holding Lao Zhang's hand and asking questions, Zhang's shopkeeper grabbed the deed of sale issued by the tooth shop in his sleeve, thought about it, and didn't take it out and hand it to Lu Hanqiang, with his temperament, maybe he could return it to the old Zhangtou, or keep it for him.
Now, he can't understand what Lu Hanqiang thinks, a person who is only willing to hire rather than buy himself t1706231537:
