I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 135

Qin Yong looked at the life-and-death contract in Gong Shunan's hand, not to mention, it was well prepared.

In fact, although this era has slowly transitioned to the feudal era, King Qin has not yet fully risen, and the feudal era has not yet fully come. It is still from the semi-feudal and semi-slave era.

Although the state of Qin now expressly stipulates that slave trade is no longer allowed, but in many places in other countries, slave trade is still legal.

For example, Zhao Guo was tired of the battlefield and earned money on the battlefield.

Zhao Guo basically fights every year and every day.Either fight with Qin, or fight with neighboring countries, or fight with the Huns.

This fights and fights, and if you win, you have to get prisoners of war, right?
What is this prisoner of war?That is a slave!

If it is sold on the market, it will be a great source of income for the imperial court.

In other countries, the same is true.

They are not like the Qin State, they either take it for their own use, and if they don't use it, there are only two results, one is to put it back, and the other is to kill it on the spot.

There is one person who has done this to the extreme, Wu An Jun Bai Qi, who is called the existence of the eternal killing god by later generations.

In the eyes of many people, this matter can be described as vicious and vicious.

In fact, the national policy of Daqin is like this, prohibiting the slave trade, many times, it is actually for the benefit of all people in the world.

Of course, although Qin State opposed the slave system, it did not completely break away from this system.

For example, the life-and-death contract in Gong Shunan's hands at this moment is actually one of the products of slavery.

Qin State did not buy and sell slaves, but it just did not want to touch the interests of the people at the bottom, so that in the end Wanmin was privatized and occupied by nobles or businessmen, resulting in no more farmers in Qin State.

In the final analysis, the prohibition of the slave trade in the Qin State is to prohibit the forced sale without the consent of the parties involved.Once you're caught doing this kind of thing, it's a dead end.

But if the parties choose to sell themselves, then there is nothing to say, and the court will not stop it.

At this time, the government has an additional business, the contract business.

Those who sell their bodies will go to the government to sign a contract of selling themselves, and finally fully mortgage themselves to the government.

In the end, whether the government transferred their contracts to others, or directly moved them under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and sent them to do labor labor or something, that is a matter of discussion.

At this moment, the stack of life and death contracts in Gong Shunan's hands actually has many in the government.

Like Qin Yong, as long as he goes to the government and asks to buy a contract, there will be many such contracts.

Therefore, this is also a form of slave trading, but it only protects everyone's interests to a greater extent.

He stretched out his hand and found the contracts in Gongshu Nan's hands. Qin Yong flipped through the contracts one by one, and shouted, "Ashu!"

After the words fell, in the crowd, a young and middle-aged man in his 20s took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "The villain is here!"

Qin Yong looked at the other one and shouted, "Lonely Mountain!"

Another expert man came out, cupped his hands and said, "The villain is here!"

Qin Yong continued to read and read out the names one by one, so he could get acquainted with everyone first.

After finishing the reading, he basically remembered the names of the people in front of him.

He folded the contract in his hand, put it in his arms, and said to the nine young women: "From now on, the nine of you have only one task, to serve Madam well. You can't refuse all Madam's requests, otherwise, I will You have the right to send you to the government and ask the government to kill you on the spot!"

When the nine women heard the words, their faces changed, and they hurried forward and said: "Yes, Patriarch!"

During the conversation, their address to Qin Yong has changed.

After all, Qin Yong hadn't sold their bodies before, so they weren't really slaves of Xuanwenjun's mansion.But now that Qin Yong has subordinates, he will be their master in the future.

Although there is nothing wrong with calling Qin Yongxuan Wenjun, ordinary servants would not address him that way. They would either address him as the master or the patriarch.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yong nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, in this era, this set is quite convenient.

Although as a master, he does not have the right to kill his servants.

But in fact, they are qualified to execute slaves. After all, once a slave commits any crime, the master will be implicated.

So there is another rule, Daqin prohibits killing people, but if they are sent to the government, they can make a request to the government.

After all, the other party is your slave, and you are qualified to decide whether it is life or death.

"Husband!"

When Qin Yong reached out, Wu Ya nervously grabbed Qin Yong's palm.

She is used to serving people now, but she didn't expect Qin Yong to send her nine people to serve her at this moment. This feeling made her a little guilty.

Can you really enjoy yourself?
Why do I feel that this is not enjoyment at all, but a kind of tension!

"Okay, from now on you will be the hostess of Lord Xuanwen's mansion, how can you have no one to take care of you. If there is anything else, just tell them to do it!"

Qin Yong looked back at Wu Ya.

In fact, he understands Wu Ya's feeling very well at this moment. It takes time for a person to get used to jumping from one circle to another.

Just like Qin Yong, when he signed the life-and-death contract with Lao Gan's family, he himself felt awkward.

The feeling of being transformed from a law-abiding citizen to a slave trader made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

But as time passed, he got used to it.

After all, this era is like this. You can either change the era, or be transformed by the era.

Qin Yong doesn't think he has the ability to change the times, so he can only follow the trend.

"As for you guys, the butler will arrive at night and give orders!"

Then, Qin Yong gave orders to Gong Shunan and the nine young men.

Everyone promised, Qin Yong just walked into the house for the first time under the leadership of Gong Shunan, and began to admire it.

The house occupies a large area, and there are five courtyards, as well as a front hall and a backyard.

In the backyard, there are many rockery and various preparations are planted. Now that spring has just passed, the flowers have not all withered. Among them, there are many bright flowers that are very eye-catching and the scenery is very beautiful.

Next to the rockery, there is also a pond in which fish are jumping.

Walking around this place on weekdays is also refreshing.

……

On this side, when Qin Yong started to get acquainted with his new home, on the other side, today's court meeting has also ended.

As soon as Yingzheng came down to court, before he returned to Zhangtai Palace, he met Li Si who had been summoned by him on the way.

"Li Si, has the matter been settled?"

Li Si stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted: "I pay homage to my king, and report back to my king, the matter has been settled."

"According to my king's instructions, choose an unobtrusive place for Xuan Wenjun as his residence, so that you can avoid all the guests in the Zhuangyuan Building on Xuefu Street and the officials on South Street. In the future, the king will go to find Xuan Wenjun , will no longer attract anyone's attention!
