MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 42 buy

The store decoration in the county and the sauce workshop in the suburbs are basically completed, and the two places need to recruit people. The workshops and shops of Wei Cheng's family close to the official road of the county seat also need to be completed, and they also need to recruit people.

However, he needs stricter manpower requirements. He does not have his own manpower in Yun Chengfeng's hands, so he must cultivate his own manpower and be absolutely rigorous in recruiting.

Cultivation is long-term, and he has two hands. One is to buy a person. With the deed of sale in hand, there is no fear of betrayal. The other is to recruit long-term workers. The long-term workers are stable and bound by contracts. These people dare not betray easily.

Before recruiting, Wei Cheng used his free time to teach his wife and Wei Lei how to do business and management at home.

"...After doing business and managing employees, the most important thing is practice. The recruitment of workers for the sauce workshop is handed over to Yuan Yuan, and the recruitment of county shops is handed over to Wei Lei. If you have any questions, you can ask them, and I will answer them one by one."

The words fell.

Zhou Yuan: "...I have an opinion."

Wei Lei: "I have a question."

One has an opinion, the other has a problem, that's fine, let's deal with the wife's opinion first.

"Yuanyuan, you speak first."

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly: "Husband, I haven't recruited workers before, I'm afraid I can't do it, and I'm a brother, will I let others see that a brother is in charge of recruiting, those people will have opinions? I can help, and you are the one to recruit Trick, okay?"

Zhou Yuan still didn't have the courage to ask him to be responsible for recruiting people alone.

Wei Cheng comforted: "Yuan Yuan, did my husband say that I am here for everything. Don't be afraid to face those people. When we recruit workers, it is others who come to ask us to give them jobs, not us to ask others. Those who have opinions , then you don’t have to be merciful and just drive people away, I will be there to help on the day of recruitment, and there are other people to help, as long as there is trouble, they will all be driven away.”

This era is very harsh and contemptuous of brother. Wei Cheng will not think about changing anything, but he will let his daughter-in-law get out of this situation step by step, change his daughter-in-law's thinking, so that he does not have to be afraid of other people's eyes Stand proudly.

In the face of status and wealth, harshness and contempt have always varied from person to person.

The people he cherishes in Wei Cheng will not let others bully him, if someone bullies him, he will teach his wife to beat him back.

Zhou Yuan thought what his husband said was right. In the past, it was very difficult for the villagers to go out to find a job. In order to make a living, they had to lower their attitudes and ask for it, hoping to get the job that would allow them to survive.

"Well, my husband, I will take care of the job recruitment."

"Don't worry, my husband will not let you face it alone. My husband will make a list of the things to be done in each step of recruitment in advance, and you can just follow them."

Zhou Yuan felt more at ease.

"As for Leizi, the recruitment requirements will be given to you. For the people who come to see the job, you have to have your own opinions. I will assist you. If you have any questions, I will raise them. You can do everything else."

Wei Lei: "Okay, I know, just leave it to me."

If a brother goes to recruit workers, he will definitely not be worse than his brother. This is also a better exercise opportunity.

When encountering difficulties, he can just go to Wei Cheng.

"Next, when facing people who come to see us for work, how do we suppress them with our aura—"

The buyer has to go to the dentist.

There are private dental clinics in the county and government offices, and there are formal and informal private dental clinics.

To buy people, most of the slaves in the official government office came from the mansions of officials who committed crimes. These servants knew the management of inner houses best, and they had some knowledge. Weicheng needed manpower.

For the largest private dental clinic, Wei Cheng decided to use the backstage of Taifu Building to buy people, not afraid that the person in charge of the dental clinic would introduce some people with questionable backgrounds to him.

Wei Cheng went to the government office to go to the tooth shop, and the steward in charge of the dental shop introduced him to the slaves who were waiting to be sold. Wei Cheng looked around and said: "I need two people who can fight, cook and housekeeper. You must have clean hands and feet and no crimes."

The steward of the tooth shop shouted: "I have heard the boss's request, and stand up in line with the requirements. The men stand in a row, and the brothers and daughters stand in a row."

Perhaps seeing that Wei Cheng was wearing ordinary cotton-padded clothes, it wasn't even as good as some flamboyantly dressed girls, those girls who were sold off from wealthy families.

Even though Wei Cheng had an extraordinary appearance, they were all lacking in interest, and they wanted to find a wealthy family member as a concubine.

The others who stand up are all hard-working people, and there are no such messy schemes.

Wei Cheng also doesn't want those people who don't stick their fingers to the spring water.

Wei Cheng looked at the people who stood up, pointed to a mother-in-law dressed as a nun and an ordinary tall girl, and asked, "Tell me, you two, what kind of work do you know?"

The old woman respectfully said: "Your Honor, this old servant used to be a steward of the master's back kitchen, he can cook well, and he can discipline his servants."

The little girl lowered her head and said: "Returning to the nobleman, the servants are doing rough work in the previous master's house, and they can do laundry, cooking, and needlework."

Wei Cheng looked at the two of them replying with respectful eyes without dodging, the calluses on their hands showed that they were hardworking people, and nodded in satisfaction: "Keep these two."

Wei Cheng turned around and walked to the line of men. He looked at the same line and found the last one. The man was tall and strong, with a straight face and imposing manner, sharp eyes, and a steady state. He looked like a Lianjiazi.

I wonder why this kind of talent is kept and no one buys it.

Did something happen?

The steward of the tooth shop looked at Wei Cheng's expression and guessed that the other party was interested in this tall man. He seemed to be very experienced and explained: "My lord, this man has not committed a crime. He is a domestic slave. His first master committed a crime and exiled him. He was sold to the government office, and his character is guaranteed..."

Wei Cheng could see that the steward of Yaxing wanted to stop talking, and asked, "What do you want to say directly?"

The manager of the dental office didn't hide anything, he returned it several times, sold it and returned it again, still the same, so he simply said: "You can see that this man is a capable man, but this man has some brain problems. Several bosses who bought it before returned them within a few days."

Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem? Are you stupid?"

"I'm not an idiot!"

Before the dental office manager could speak, the tall man retorted angrily and loudly. He had a straight face and aura, but when he spoke, his true colors were revealed.

The steward of the dental office shouted: "There are no rules, don't stand back!"

The tall man pouted stupidly and stood back in dissatisfaction. After standing back, his seriousness returned.

Wei Cheng: "......"

This guy's brain is indeed not stupid, but human beings are stupid.

The steward of the dental office twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with an embarrassed smile: "This person is not clear-headed, can't turn corners, and easily offends people. He was sent back a few times before because he didn't know the rules and interrupted casually. He is absolutely loyal. He doesn’t go east or west.”

Wei Cheng doesn't think there is any problem, this kind of loyalty is like a family member, unless it is cultivated from childhood, it is difficult to find.

"It's okay, I'm looking for a servant who is loyal and able to do things. My family's rules are not so complicated, just him."

The steward of the tooth shop nodded, and finally got rid of the hot potato.

At the beginning, he also saw that this man was tall and a Lianjiazi, and the price was only high but not low... Later, the price dropped more and more, and no one was willing to buy it, leaving people in the tooth shop. This person is very good at talking back, and he eats too much...

As for people eating too much, he didn't say anything, he was careful, lest the boss in front of him say to buy it, and he would not buy it when he heard that people eat too much.

The manager of the dental office kept it a secret, but when the tall man heard Wei Cheng said he would buy him, he happily asked, "Will I be able to eat if I buy him? I haven't had a full day here, this man is too stingy."

The head of the dental office was throbbing.

Wei Cheng glanced at the steward of the tooth shop, then looked at the tall, silly man, and asked, "Do you eat a lot?"

The tall man grinned foolishly, showing his bright white teeth: "Not much, I eat five bowls of rice and three big steamed buns for a meal. Meat is best, and I don't mind eating without meat. It's important to have a full stomach."

Wei Cheng: "..."

This amount of food was really difficult to raise in ancient times.

The dental office manager next to him saw that the stupid man had revealed the matter of his large appetite, his forehead was so angry that veins popped out, and he thought with a dark face that he would definitely not be able to get rid of it this time.

Originally, it seemed that Wei Cheng was wearing clothes, maybe his family had some background, but he had no background at first glance, and he was not afraid of being returned if he sold it. He can also refuse to return it. Unlike the people who bought it before, everyone has a background. Those people came to return, and they couldn't offend others, so they had to return.

If you can't sell it, you have to eat and drink here for nothing. He couldn't beat him again and again, and when he scolded him, he turned back and became even more **** off.

"Steward, just these three people, give a sincere price."

Those who close their eyes and know how to punch and kick only have their eyes on one.

"Yes, yes, for sure." If he can get rid of people, he can make as little money as he wants, "Two people in the front cost ten taels each, and the man behind him costs twenty taels. This is the most honest price. Men are worth more than fifty taels."

Wei Cheng felt that buying a person was not expensive, so he handed over the silver and asked the dental office to handle the formalities.

Things went well, the woman who was bought by Wei Cheng knelt down in front of Wei Cheng, and begged: "Master, please show mercy and buy my family head and grandson together!"

"What are you doing, it's the other way around—"

The manager of the dental office got angry and waved his hand gesture, as if he wanted to teach others a lesson.

Dare to ask for it as a servant, is it because he doesn't look down on the rules of his teeth, can't teach a fool, and can't teach a woman.

Wei Cheng stopped the dental office manager, "Listen to what she has to say first."

The people who bought it didn't have any objections, so the steward had to stop.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly said: "Master, the head of my family is locked up with his grandson. He was the steward of the mansion before the head of the house. He is very loyal... Please buy them. We will definitely be good at it in the future." The horse rewards you."

Wei Cheng asked the manager of the dental office to bring the man, and the manager of the dental office ordered his subordinates to bring the man.

Seeing the person, Wei Cheng was stunned.

The mother-in-law's husband was beaten all over and his head was bleeding. In a half-conscious state, she was still tightly protecting the child in her arms. The child nestled timidly in his grandfather's arms, his body and face were dirty. When the woman saw someone, she rushed to him and cried: " How about you as the head of the family, you can't have anything to do."

When the child saw his grandmother, he immediately threw himself into her arms and sobbed, not daring to cry out.

Wei Cheng frowned.

The manager of the dental office explained: "We don't want to beat people, because he broke the rules of the dental office. Someone wanted to buy his grandson, but he refused desperately. The dental office is doing business, so we had to make him submit. Unexpectedly, He would rather be beaten to death than hand over the person, and the person who originally wanted to buy the person felt that it was unlucky, so he didn't buy it."

Wei Cheng said in a deep voice, "No medical treatment?"

The steward of the dental office: "The rules must be followed."

This world is about rules, not benevolence, righteousness and morality. This excess of kindness is not because you are pitiful.

Wei Cheng didn't say anything, he bought the man, and the dental office manager saw that Wei Cheng was willing to buy the man, it was better than dying here.

The mother-in-law dragged her grandson to kneel on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.

The person was so badly injured that he had to be sent to the hospital first. Wei Cheng asked the idiot to carry him to the hospital on his back, and the others followed behind.

After the doctor in the hospital saw it, the injury looked serious, but fortunately it was not life-threatening, but it took a month or two to recover, and he could not work before he recovered, otherwise the root cause of the disease would be established and his life expectancy would be shortened.

Hearing that, the woman looked at Wei Cheng nervously and fearfully, her arms around her grandson were trembling, she was deeply afraid that Wei Cheng would be dissatisfied and let others fend for themselves.

No one is willing to buy a slave, not only for healing, but also for being unable to work.

Wei Cheng sighed, letting people have a good rest.

His education is not good enough to let people fend for themselves.

The mother-in-law and her grandson thanked Wei Cheng again and again.

Wei Cheng kept people in the clinic, and also went to a private dental clinic.

Due to the delay in this matter, Wei Cheng went to a private dental office and directly embraced the name of the steward of Taifulou, and the steward of the dental clinic warmly received him.

Wei Cheng asked people to help him choose, and he bought the right ones when he saw them. The price of buying people in private dental shops is not as expensive as that in government offices. It is enough to buy eight taels of coolie men, and six taels of women and maids who do rough work.

He bought three men, two of them were women who did rough work, and the other maid was because he could make cakes, so Wei Cheng bought them, and the family also needed someone who could make cakes.

Wei Cheng was waiting to go through the formalities. His eyes swept across two people sitting in the corner. The man's expression was gentle and affectionate, but there was a hint of despair in his eyes. The brother was leaning on the man's arms, with a hideous scar on his face, and The man didn't seem to care about the scar on the brother's face.

Wei Cheng was slightly moved.

"Steward, how do those two people sell?"

The steward of the dental shop was surprised, "You want to buy them?" Hearing that Wei Cheng had arrived, the steward of the dental shop said, "They are a couple. The young master of the master's family took a fancy to the man and got his husband, so he wanted to marry him as a concubine by force." In order to save his husband, the man hurt the master's young master, so he was beaten and sold by the master's family.

"That man, Fulang, was going to sell it to a brothel, but that man had a fierce temper, so he stabbed himself in the face... The man was lame, and my brother was disfigured. Seeing that no one was buying it, he was about to sell it. Go to corvée. If you buy it, you will take him away for ten taels of silver."

Corvée, a hard laborer, has nothing but hard work every day, and those who are sold to the government as corvee have only death to wait for.

When the desperate couple heard that someone bought them, they were shocked and disbelieving.

It wasn't until he was brought in front of Wei Cheng that he came back to his senses, and turned around to see Wei Cheng's upright momentum. They were really bought, not by those in the brothel, the couple knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Cheng in ecstasy.

Steward: "It's also because you are lucky to meet a good person."

The couple knew that if no one bought it, they would end up being sold to the government as corvee labor.

The despair in their eyes also knew that they were about to face death.

Didn't expect it to turn around.

—

Wei Cheng took him to the medical center.

Let them get to know each other, the head of the woman wakes up, knowing that a family member has been bought by someone, and they can still be together, tears fall, tears of joy.

This will see Wei Cheng, struggling to get up and kowtow, but he is seriously injured, he can't get up at all, and he can't talk too much.

Wei Cheng stopped him, and said in a deep voice: "I have received your gratitude. I buy you and hope you will be loyal. Now rest well and do things for me when you are in good health. This is the best repayment."

The head of the woman's house immediately lay back, and they were all sensible people.

The person is still not well, Wei Cheng originally wanted to put him in the hospital, but the three of the woman's family refused, they bought the servant, and the master's family did this for the sake of it, they dared not accept the master's favor , I immediately asked to go back, and I could recuperate my injuries when I went back.

Wei Cheng had no choice but to ask the servants to rent a carriage.

The servants who have just been bought are most afraid of meeting a bad master. Seeing that the master treats the servant so well, they are afraid and retreat a little.

On the way back, everyone guessed where they would live in the future.

When they arrived at the main family's house, looking at the dilapidated house in front of them, the group thought they had gone to the wrong place.

The big fool yelled on the spot: "Master, your family is so dilapidated and poor, can you give me enough to eat?"

Open mouth.

Wei Cheng: "..."

Everyone else bowed their heads silently.

In their eyes, the mother-in-law's family of three and the couple, no matter how poor Wei Cheng is, he is their savior, the person who gave them a new life, even if they follow Wei Cheng to be poor, they are not afraid, they have hands and feet , can work, no matter how poor they are, they will not starve to death.

As for the others, they are worried that the main family is too poor, whether they will be sold again in the end.

The big fool is afraid of not getting enough to eat.

Wei Cheng had no obligation to explain to them, so he went in first, Zhou Yuan was studying in the courtyard, Wei Lei was sent by Wei Cheng to Tai Fulou to exercise with the shopkeeper Fu.

Zhou Yuan was very curious when he saw many people following his husband, "Husband, they are..."

Wei Cheng walked over, "Yuan Yuan, these people will be servants of our family in the future, come and recognize them first."

Wei Cheng pulled his wife to sit down, "This is my husband, and also your other master."

Then ask them to name each.

They are all servants, and a group of people automatically line up in a row.

The mother-in-law's family of three was reported by the woman: "I have met the master, my family name is Song Mao, and I am the wife of Song Mao's family. This is my grandson Xiaoan."

The mother-in-law thought of something, her eyes were red, she didn't mention the rest of her family, it must be an accident.

Wei Cheng didn't know that the woman's grandson was a little brother at this time, and the dental shop wanted to sell Xiao An because he was a brother.

My brother was traded and ended up entering that kind of place... Only Xiao An's grandfather would protect him, even if he died.

.........

The idiot was called Big Hutou, and he changed his name to Wei Hu. The others reported their names, and they all followed the surname of the main family.

The lame man's name is Wei Yi, and his husband's name is Wei Shu. The ordinary tall maid was named Wei Liu, the maid who could make pastry was named Wei Qiaoxi, and the other two aunts were Aunt Tian and Aunt Huang.

The other three men, two of them are brothers, they are tall, their actual age is only sixteen or seventeen, at the age of fifteen, they were sold by their stepmother to the current people of the wealthy family, named Wei Jin and Wei Shi. There is also a tall and thin man named Wei Tie who is twenty-five years old. He sold himself.

Wei Cheng set up rules for them: "From now on, in this family, you must obey my orders. The master's orders are equivalent to my orders. If you violate them, you will be sold out. And you will work in the workshop in the future. You don't need to wait on me."

"Aunt Mao has managed the servants, so she is responsible for the daily work of the family. After Uncle Mao recovers from his injury, I will arrange it. Wei Hu is by my side, and Wei Yi helps manage the workshop. Others go to the workshop to work, and the work will be arranged again. .”

"One important point, you don't need to call me master or master if you call me master."

Hearing them call him master, Wei Cheng felt old.

Wei Cheng established the rules, arranged for them to live in the workshop, and handed over to Aunt Mao the items they needed for daily life, and handed over to Aunt Mao every month's expenses.

Wei Cheng called Wei Hu and Wei Yi alone, told them the work they needed to do in the workshop and shop, and asked them to arrange other servants.

After Wei Cheng had arranged everything, he returned to his home in the dilapidated yard.

After the servants waited for Wei Cheng to leave, although they were puzzled, they were all servants who had learned the rules. They could not gossip casually. This was a taboo against the master, and they did not want to be punished or sold again.

Wei Hu didn't have this trouble, he muttered loudly: "The place we live in is better than the master's house, and the master doesn't look poor. Why do we live in such a dilapidated place? Is it the master's hobby? Or is it better to live in a dilapidated place? I really don't like it. I understand, I will ask the master another day."

The living place of the workshop is newly built, which is much better than the dilapidated place of Wei Cheng's house.

A group of people: "......"

If he didn't know that this person was stupid, Wei Hu's words would be disrespectful.

It's a miracle that this person is so open-minded and stupid that he was not beaten to death by the previous owner's family. It is a miracle that he is still alive.
