Many vegetable markets have been set up in the outer city to serve as a centralized place for food and vegetables. They plan to buy refugees according to the money gained from their work, instead of distributing them according to headcount. This is also Su Yin's attempt to prevent big pot rice from causing many negative impacts, which will instead cause future problems.
Huge loss.
But at this time, Su Yin discovered that the largest commodity traded in the wet market was actually people!
Rows of refugees with straw labels were waiting for someone to buy them with expressionless expressions like puppets. What made Su Yin even more angry was that the buyers and sellers were wearing the official clothes of the "Manpower Department" of the yamen specially approved by Su Yin.
There are many wealthy "nobles" from Yin City around, who are as picky as buying meat, pointing and pointing. These cheap slaves are a great opportunity for them to supplement their own needs.
"Okay, okay!! Haha." Su Yin looked gloomy and walked over casually, looking at these refugees.
She knew that slavery in this world was difficult to break, but she was still making efforts. Although Zaiyin City did not prohibit slaves, it had set up many regulations to control this behavior. Unexpectedly, apparently, it turned out to be an official under her
, dared to hide the truth, not only disobeyed her orders, but also directly and openly bought and sold these slaves.
Su Yin kept her mouth shut and was already really angry, but she didn't show it. This is her character, either she won't do it or she will do it.
At this time, she saw a dirty little girl among the refugees. She was looking at the people around her who were picking them up with a smart and timid look that was different from other refugees.
Although this little girl is dirty, her facial features are very good, with big smart eyes, a small face, and a small nose. However, she seems to have some infectious disease on her face and has some red spots, so she is disliked by the people around her and has not bought it so far.
Will work as a slave in the family.
"You see this little thing is infected with a disease, how dare you sell it? How can this be done? Who knows what kind of disease these foreigners have contracted? If they get the plague, who among us big families can afford it?
"A man who looked rich, dressed in gold and silver, and seemed to be the wife of a certain family was giving harsh instructions, obviously trying to lower the price and make a lot of money.
"Madam, who dares to do this business now except us people from the Human Resources Department? "That person" in Yincheng is not easy to fool. If something goes wrong, we, the yamen workers, will have to take care of it.
, this price is only three taels of silver, you can’t buy a pig outside for this money.” The manpower officer pointed at the sky, and everyone understood what he meant. Of course, he was referring to the current master of Yin City, Su Yin.
.
"Besides, this little thing just caught wind and cold and got a rash. It's not a serious problem. Go back and raise it, and I'm sure it will come out looking like a watery fairy. If you can buy this amount, I will give it to you on my own initiative.
Here you go." After saying that, the servant quietly compared the number to the lady.
The noble lady calculated and thought for a while, then immediately smiled and agreed, ready to choose someone to take away.
The little girl saw a stranger pointing at her and trying to pull her away. She was very frightened and quickly found a place to hide, but was scolded by the guards.
At this time, Su Yin walked over slowly, squatted down, took the little girl into his arms, and gently wiped the little girl's face with his hands, an expression of distress and pity flashed across his face.
This sudden move surprised everyone present, including the guards.
