Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Zhang San chuckled: "Why is no one buying it? Not only are there people buying it, it's also a hot commodity."

"Oh, what do you mean by this?" Chu Mo asked doubtfully.

"What I just said are of course those from small families who don't know their way around them."

"But those experienced wealthy families, after buying these people, the first thing they do when they enter the house is to strip them naked and have them carefully inspected."

"After confirming that there are no problems, they will be sent separately to work in their own mines or places that require strong labor."

"If they dare to escape midway, without proof of household registration and identity, even if one or two escape capture, they will not be able to survive."

"How do you say this?" Chu Mo was confused again. Now that he has escaped, can he still survive?

"Hey, sir, you don't know something. If these people run away and don't have household registration documents with them, they will definitely not be able to enter the city. If they dare to enter the city, they will definitely be caught as bandits and beheaded directly."

"If you go to the countryside or something, when the village chiefs see a stranger coming, they will immediately arrest the person and report it directly to the official to receive the reward."

"Then what if they become robbers or bandits, or find a place to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?"

Chu Mo looked like the world was huge and he couldn't go anywhere.

Zhang San and the other soldiers had disdainful looks in their eyes, and they all turned away, not daring to let Chu Mo see the looks in their eyes.

Zhang San coughed and continued to answer: "My lord, I don't know. If you run into the territory of those bandits and robbers, among other things, the robbers and bandits will definitely be very happy to capture these escaped slaves and send them to the government to receive rewards. "

Chu Mo was stunned: "Why is this?"

"Sir, most of those robbers and bandits come from poor families, and few of them are moral. There is no reason not to be tempted in the face of this huge reward."

"As for running deep into the mountains and forests, haha, it's not that I look down on them. If they had some ability, they wouldn't end up selling themselves into slaves."

"But if you don't have the ability, if you stay in the deep mountains and old forests for a while, if you don't starve to death, you will be killed by those snakes, insects, rats, and ants." (In ancient times, insects also referred to big insects (tiger))

When Chu Mo heard this, his scalp went numb. Fortunately, he picked up a household registration certificate when he first came here, otherwise he would not know how he died.

Later, Zhang San pointed to the women and children on the roadside and said: "These women and children, if they are good-looking, will be taken aback by others and bought with half a bucket of millet or a few woofou." .”

"Those who are of the right age will be trained for a period of time and sold to brothels to pick up clients. Those who are older and more diligent will be sold to wealthy families to work as doulas or servants."

"As for those boys, those with good looks will be sold to wealthy families with special habits, while those with average looks will be sold to others at a low price to be servants or something like that."

"As for those who are young and can't do anything..." Speaking of this, Zhang San's voice became a little deeper, but he continued: "Many times, at night, they will be replaced by other families."

Speaking of this, Zhang San stopped talking, and Chu Mo was not a novice who didn't understand anything.

In later generations, he also read some literature and knew that these children would be exchanged and eaten as rations to survive.

With a sigh, Chu Mo found that Yang Paifeng beside him was shaking all over and looking at Zhang San with a horrified look on his face, so he stretched out his hand, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

The little girl nodded, then seemed to have thought of something, and carefully handed the two copper coins in her arms to Chu Mo: "Uncle, these are my last copper coins."

Chu Mo took the copper coins and was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that he had borrowed three copper coins from the little girl before and hadn't paid them back. It seemed that the little girl had misunderstood.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he carefully collected the two copper coins of the little girl's entire wealth and put them in his pocket.

Then he said to the sergeant: "It's almost done, let's go back."

Just as he was talking, a group of people walked towards them, followed by dozens of refugees, large and small, who seemed to be here to buy people.

Chu Mo originally wanted to make way for them, but when a few middle-aged people saw Chu Mo and his group from a distance, they shouted arrogantly: "Qiu Ba in front, hurry up and get out of the way for me. If it's too late, watch your skin carefully. "

Originally, Chu Mo just went out of the city to see the situation and did not intend to cause trouble, but the other party turned out to be aggressive, and the middle-aged man in the lead looked so familiar.

Suddenly, he thought that he was among the victims of the disaster that day, and it was this bastard who drove him out of food, and then he met Li Zhen.

Chu Mo was still so angry that his teeth itched after hearing this guy's face that day.

Just kidding, I am definitely the kind of narrow-minded person who always seeks revenge.

When he drove himself away that day, it was obvious that he was not giving himself a way to survive. This was definitely revenge for killing someone.

So, without saying a word, Chu Mo rolled up his sleeves, picked up a stone on the roadside, and rushed over.

He asked the middle-aged man, "Dude, do you still remember the midnight snack?"

Where are you? I was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then shook my head: "You Qiu Ba, do you know who I am? You dare to talk to me like this, I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Mo slapped the middle-aged man on the mouth with a stone: "I didn't know who you were talking about last time, and I don't want to know this time."

When the surrounding guards saw their housekeeper being beaten, they all drew their weapons and were about to take action.

When the soldiers behind Chu Mo saw their own adults fighting with others, they all protected Chu Mo despite their previous lessons.

The guard on the opposite side saw it and immediately shouted: "You Qiu Ba, we are members of the Cui family of Qinghe, how dare you commit murder in broad daylight."

When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned and their momentum instantly dropped.

But Yang Paifeng on the side snorted coldly: "Is the Cui family of Qinghe so great? In front of our uncle, he is not even a chicken or a dog."

Hearing what Yang Paifeng said, the soldiers realized that, yes, my lord was a cruel man who crippled Lu Guogong's legitimate son and still had nothing to do with it.

Moreover, I clearly saw Duke Lu and Duke Lu coming to flatter their lord that day.

Thinking of this, the soldiers instantly gained confidence and raised the long swords in their hands a few inches.

The servants of the Cui family didn't seem surprised at all when they saw him giving out their master's name, and they suddenly felt a little confused.

"I dare to ask, what is your uncle's surname? Who is his descendant from the fifth surname and Qiwang family?"
