While requesting to build a city, Hao Fenglou and Zhu Zhiling began to run around, their main goal was Yaxing.

The teeth shops in the Ming Dynasty were quite similar to the intermediary offices in later generations. Whenever you have any needs, the teeth shops can always meet them, such as what goods to buy, you need to hire a car or a ship. Of course, the teeth shops also have a mark of the times, and the biggest of them is human trafficking.

No matter who you want, men, women, children, teenagers, or even nanny, you can only get it, but you can't buy it.

The population transactions in Nanjing are mainly concentrated in Ruyifang in the outer city. It won’t take long before all the traffickers in Ruyifang knew that recently there was a generous young master and lady who spent a lot of money to buy a lot of people.

It just makes people wonder that what they want to buy is not a maid, but a teenager aged fifteen to eighteen. They require height, good or bad eyesight, no other diseases in their bodies, and even their skin needs to be checked.

The requirements are a bit harsh. After all, ordinary people usually use them to do rough work. Who has the heart to take care of this?

At first, those fangirls thought that these two buyers were picky because they wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price, but they soon found that as long as they met their requirements, the price was easy to negotiate. Sometimes when they quoted a price, they nodded and agreed without even thinking about it. This price is often 30% or even 40% higher than the usual market price.

Now that we are coming, everyone's eyes are red. Trafficking humans is not a glamorous thing. The reason why we are in this industry is nothing more than making money. If you put money in your pocket, everything is safe. Now that you have such an opportunity to make money, why don't you make money?

Many people began to look for people in this area, and some even rushed to the eight counties under Nanzhi and Hangzhou to search. Hao Fenglou left an address to let Hao Wu's son Hao San check here. Soon, people broke the threshold here, and all kinds of people appeared one after another. Some people even became crazy and wanted to sell themselves.

Hao San refused to accept those who sold themselves according to Hao Fenglou's intentions, and there were many others who met the conditions. And it was beyond Hao Fenglou's expectations. Although the world was still peaceful, there were still many people who sold themselves as slaves. In just over ten days, there were only two or three hundred young and strong people in the world. Just this is enough to choose carefully. If the restrictions are relaxed, even if there is five hundred, one thousand people will be no problem.

At the same time, Hao Fenglou also bought a group of skilled people, some of whom can read and write, some know some medical skills, and some used to be stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, etc. There were also many such people, with as many as 200.

There are very few people who read and write, but there are also a few who have committed lawsuits and have nowhere to go. Most of them have such backgrounds. As for craftsmen, there are many. There are only one reason why these people fall into this place. That is, they are fleeing households.

Emperor Taizu established a royal household registration system, roughly divided the household registration of the world into three types, namely military households, civilian households, craftsmen, and craftsmen in household registration. They must serve in the government's handicraft bureaus and courtyards, and engage in various handicraft production such as construction, textiles, iron smelting, military weapons, and handicrafts, which are directly managed by various bureaus, courts and relevant institutions. They are not allowed to leave their household registration at will, and must inherit from generation to generation and undertake designated labor service. If they refuse to join the bureau or court, they must "do their crimes to be punished."

In the later generations, the craftsmen in later generations had long lost their craftsmanship. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, the craftsmen often had real materials. However, after being craftsmen were organized, they were not only controlled by officials, but could even be beaten and convicted immediately. They worked hard every day and could not even have enough food to earn. If the stern officials were more ruthless, they would even rely on selling their children to make a living.

If they can't survive, they can only escape. After all, most of them have a skill, and they are fools who don't run away. Unfortunately, when people run away, they immediately find that they have nowhere to go, and they automatically become "unfamiliar people" without their hometown, and they have nowhere to stay. In the end, they are simply taken away by others and sold.

There are a lot of such people, and Hao Fenglou has always been there, so he recruited more than 200 people in one go.

All of these people were arranged to the farmhouse, where many simple sheds were built, wooden stakes were built directly on the ground, beams were built, and thatched grass was piled up. It looked neither reliable, and it was a bit forced to shelter from the wind and rain.

There were ten people living in each shed, and there were more than 60 thatched huts. They arrived here uneasy with the new owner. After seeing this, most of them thought that the landlord bought them to work as tenants and long-term workers. However, after living for a few days, they found that this was not the case. There were indeed many wastelands around and weeds were overgrown, but spring had already begun, and no one urged them to work.

However, every now and then, there will always be trucks to transport rice. The rice is extremely fine and has no sand mixed. It has three meals a day, with porridge in the morning and dry rice in the middle and evening.

Only those who have experienced hardships will know that happiness is hard-won. The various doubts of these people are gradually dispelled. Perhaps for most of them, the most comfortable and comfortable days they have in their lives will be only these few days.

Many people are grateful to their employers, but they always don’t see their employers, which makes some people feel uneasy. There is no pie falling from the sky in this world. They don’t believe that anyone will be willing to be so willing to behave and commit crimes. Could it be that they want to do something that is a crime?

Hao San was still responsible for their food and accommodation. Hao San was very proud of these days. According to Hao Fenglou's words, the young master who bought them was an amazing figure in the capital. The reason why he bought them was to wait for the fiefdom to be built in the future so that they could serve as guards and servants in the future.

After such an explanation, everyone felt at ease. Being able to serve as servants and slaves for wealthy families is indeed the best destination for them. Moreover, it seems that the master is pretty good and is willing to give food, so he did not let someone scare them with a whip.

In fact, their idle days will not last too long, because at this time, Hao Fenglou came up with a special charter after thinking behind closed doors for a few days.

Zhu Zhiling was invited to Tianxianglou by Hao Fenglou at this time. The food and food came up, but the chopsticks did not move. Hao Fenglou's eyes were covered with blood, and his hands were full of fatigue were crossed on the table, saying, "I have thought about it carefully these days. Now our fort is still being built, so it is not advisable to start training these people immediately. Although it is a temporary solution to arrange them there, we cannot raise lazy people. I have a general constitution here. Let me tell you first. Your Majesty ordered us to be responsible for this matter. You nodded and agreed to get things done together."

Zhu Zhiling nodded, and saw Hao Fenglou's tired look, he felt a little distressed, but he held back the thoughts in his heart, pretended to be cold, and said in a formal tone: "Please tell me Hao Qianhu."

Hao Fenglou said: "Those young and strong men should not let them practice archery, horses, swords and swords at present, but they should first squeeze up and sharpen their knives without delaying the chopping of wood. So from now on, they should set a timetable for them. They should get up at the time of the Mao, and then start a morning jog. After breakfast, they still need to practice. The foot strength, arm strength, and endurance must not be missing. Anyway, they have free time, and there are seven or eight people who have read books. Let a few try the documents first, and simply let them pass on the documents. The rest of the few will let them teach them to read and write. Of course, it is not the intention of letting these young and strong men study. If they know the words, it is much easier to teach other things in the future. Moreover, some of these people need to be released for investigation. If they don’t even know how to write, how can they pass on messages and inquire about the information?"

Zhu Zhiling had no other opinion on this. She didn't care whether Hao Fenglou said that he was working hard and reading and writing was useful. However, as Hao Fenglou said, it's not enough to keep him idle now, and he can't keep him lazy. Instead of waiting slowly for the fort to be built, it's better to practice first. No matter what he learns, it's better to learn than not.

Hao Fenglou continued: "As for those medical households..." Hao Fenglou paused and said: "Although they were responsible for the treatment of everyone in the future, if they were dizzy and hot, they would have to use it. But if they were not so in their spare time, we could buy some medical books and let them read it by themselves. Every month, I would like to find a way to ask the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital to give questions and ask them to answer them. Then they would divide their grades into A, B, C, and take some reward and punishment measures. In this way, they can not only be responsible for seeking medical treatment and medicine, but also improve their medical skills. Their current levels are uneven, but after training them well, they should not be too bad in the future, and they will definitely use it in the future."

"As for craftsmen, I am mainly responsible. For example, blacksmiths, first ask them to build a stove to make iron and exercise. I will make some drawings, first ask them to make some simple iron tools, and after they can complete them all, then make more complex drawings for them to do. In short, we can't let them be idle. We may not use what they make now, but we still have to do what we should do. Not only do we have to do, but we must also continue to improve. If the drawings I draw cannot be made for a while, they must also be able to brainstorm and come up with various ways to improve the craftsmanship. The three cobblers are Zhuge Liang, who can make them make more complex things step by step, so that they can speed up their pace. In the future, our Shenwu Guard will definitely need some special iron tools, which can be handed over to them at that time."

Zhu Zhiling was obviously a little surprised and widened his eyes and said, "Do you still understand craftsmanship?"

Hao Fenglou spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand, but... I have never eaten pork, and I have always seen pigs running. Actually, I have many wonderful ideas, but to realize the ideas, I have to rely on these craftsmen to complete them."
