Chapter 38 Kunlun slaves, Xinluo maids
Zhang Chao felt that having Qin Qiong’s signature would not be useless, or that it would be a waste of resources. But his father obviously did not have this idea, and he was disgusted with the name of Qin Qiong.
No matter how sorry Zhang Chao felt, he finally made a deal for 100% of the horse. The eight-year-old yellow horse became Zhang Dad's war horse. The old man was really a real person. As expected, he helped Zhang Chao pick up another horse to drive a car, which was also an eight-year-old horse, and only took him twenty horses.
Zhang Chao also wanted the old man to tell the horse owner that he would let the horse owner take the saddle and bridle, but unfortunately the horse owner was very stingy. Even if Zhang Chao moved out of the titles of Qin Qiong and King of Qin, he would not be moved. In the end, he only gave Zhang Chao two horse whips, and he could tell at a glance that it was the cheapest one.
If you buy a horse, how can you not have a good saddle or bridle?
Zhang Chao said he was losing money, and he went to the whip and bridle shop across the street with his father and others. There were all selling saddles and whips and other things. There were rows of shops, and all kinds of saddles and bridles were available, which was convenient for purchasing.
After comparing the stores, Zhang Chao chose a store with good quality and cheap prices. He took the initiative to play his role in making use of his perfectly slutty tongue and bargained with the owner.
In order to give a thousand yuan in cash, Zhang Chao and the shopkeeper drooled, and finally the shopkeeper, who was very troubled, agreed to sell the two sets of saddles and bridles to Zhang Chao for a total price of ten cents. Zhang Chao finally asked the shopkeeper to give two more horse whips to be considered a smile.
"The owner of the horse has sent two horse whips just now, so there is no need to fight for two more horse whips."
"It's not too much to be a horse whip." Zhang Chao won't take advantage of it, so of course he has to fight for the gifts.
"I bought the horse and the ankle, so I'll go to the pharmacy now." My father calculated that although he got a profit of 100 taels of gold from the Cui family today, his kung fu was spent like a waste of money.
I spent about 320 guan to buy a store, and then I spent 130 guan to buy a horse and a saddle. Together, I spent 450 guan to buy a store. I spent more than half of the money for 100 taels of gold and 800 guan.
Zhang Chao didn't think that the money was spent too quickly, so he had to spend where he should spend it.
My father is a military officer and must be matched with a war horse. This is stipulated by the Military Administration. The Military Administration only gave me twenty-five stakes of money. I can't really use this little money to buy an old crossbow horse for my father to ride. If I go to the battlefield in the future, isn't this a cheating person?
Zhang Chao bought a war horse for his father and a crossbow horse, not for himself. Instead, he considered that war horses were relatively expensive and had to be well-offed for his ancestors. In the future, his family would definitely have to use carriages and horses to do business. He couldn't take the war horse out of the carriage to transport it.
All money is bastard, and you can earn it after spending it.
"Let's go and order a carriage next to you." Zhang Chao said to his father. If you want to pick up a horse, of course you have to get a car. Now that you have bought a shop in Chang'an City, you must often travel between Chang'an and Bashang in the future, dozens of miles away. You can't tell him to run with his feet every day.
"Go back and ask the carpenter to make one." The father advocated frugality.
However, Zhang Chao felt that there was no need to save money. Carriages were not only for transportation, but also sometimes also a manifestation of identity. It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. A good horse does not have good saddles and cannot show value. A person also needs to rely on clothes to show his identity.
Zhang Chao is not the kind of person who loves to show off, but if you want to do business in the future, you must pay attention to clothes, carriages and horses. This is also a sign of face. Secondly, he hired a carriage and did anyone do it well in a carriage shop?
Since you want to buy a carriage, don't worry about spending more money.
In the end, my father gave in.
Next to the whip and bridle shop, there are several shops that make horse carriages. These shops are worthy of being professional. They have ready-made exhibits, various carriages, and even ox carriages. Various carriages vary in size and style. They can be customized in private, and there are ready-made ones that are affordable and affordable.
But they are all two-wheeled carriages.
There are no four-wheeled carriages these days, and there are no suspension or shock absorbing styles. No matter how luxurious the materials or the decorations are, this kind of carriage is, it cannot change the fact that it will be shocking and shocking when sitting on it.
Zhang Chao finally chose an affordable carriage with four people in the carriage and the space is OK. It can also protect against wind, dust and rain, but even such an economical carriage costs 30 trump cards, which is more expensive than the horse he bought to pull the cart.
When paying, Zhang Chao felt a little heartbroken.
Before I knew it, it took 480 knots.
He could only tell himself in his heart that he had already embraced his golden thighs and had a shop in Chang'an City. The yellow bun business and the dough alkali business would take off soon. In the future, Kaiyuan Tongbao would flow into his pockets continuously.
"Go to the pharmacy."
After paying the deposit and making an appointment for the pickup date, Zhang Chao and his father left with a horse.
There were many people on the street, and my father didn't ride a yellow horse, while Zhang Chao didn't know how to ride a horse at all. Therefore, the eight-year-old white horse he bought from twenty knots could only lead him away.
Deeply regretful, Zhang Chao decided to learn riding from his father immediately after he returned home.
After leaving the Horse Market, Zhang Chao found that there were many people in front of him.
There are black people.
There are Persians and Turks in this western city, so why do we have even black people?
"That's Kunlun slaves. Today is the day when the city is opened." Manager Qin took a look and said casually.
Kunlun slaves are very black slaves. According to the Qin Manager, they were brought by those big cannibals from the sea. Zhang Chao said that they seemed to be not Africans, but Indonesian and Malay natives. Although these people are dark, they are not real African blacks. It is said that there are also black slaves like charcoal, but only a very small number of them.
The word Kunlun in ancient China refers to something black in addition to Kunlun Mountains.
"Kunlun slaves, Silla maids, this is the favorite of wealthy people in Chang'an. Sanlang, you are not short of money now. It just so happens that the market is open again today. You might as well pick a few back. If you don't want to come to Qin Mansion, you don't want to live in Bashang, so you can't do your own laundry, cook, and drive the car to feed the horses, right?" Qin Gan said.
Zhang Chao had never thought about buying a slave. He had thought about hiring someone, but now, according to Qin Gan's opinion, hiring someone is not convenient. The people who bought him can last a lifetime, and even if he has a child, he will continue to be a slave.
Kunlun slaves and Silla maids are the most popular brands in the Tang Dynasty slave maid circle. These Silla maids are maids from later generations. It is said that these Silla maids were plundered by pirates or were bought and sold by their own parents. After these Silla girls were bought, they had to go through a long period of training, learn Chinese, train etiquette, and cookery. They had to go through a long period of training and packaging, and eventually they would become high-quality maids and sell them to those wealthy families in the Central Plains.
The Silla maids of the Tang Dynasty should be like the Filipino maids in later generations. They are almost the same as Kunlun slaves.
Tang Lu, an official, private slave, and a servant, was compared to animal products.
Slaves can clearly mark prices and trade freely. The West Market holds slaves and trades from time to time, and they are traded next to the Cow and Horse Market.
Buy someone, a good offer.
It's only a few days before Zhang Chao is going to buy a servant. In the future, he will be able to enjoy the good days of having a meal and having a clothes to reach out. In the future, when the new cave is ready, maybe there will be a maid to warm the bed.
By the way, Zhang Chao suddenly rang out. Now there is a cave at home, and six old and young men are lying on a new kang every day. If you buy a few more servants, where will you live?
"If you want to buy it, it is best to buy a family. In this way, men can guard the house and women can wash clothes and cook. If there is a girl's son, then the daughter can serve tea and water, and the son can feed horses and drive a carriage or be a boss." Manager Qin is very experienced.
It is very cost-effective to buy such a family. Once you buy a family, they will be easy to get along with and easy to be stable. In addition, the family can be competent for each job.
Although there is no trouble with language communication when buying Kunlun slaves and Silla maids, these slaves are too expensive, and they are not worth buying these people. Just like rich people buying female dancers, they buy this purely for enjoyment, and they can't do any rough work.
"You don't have to buy anyone who buys. There are only two people in the family, so why don't you buy someone?" The father objected again.
However, Zhang Chao ignored it. He felt that what Manager Qin said was indeed very reasonable. If you buy such a family, then you will do laundry and cook at home, split the materials and feed the horses, and drive the car. There will be people at home.
Although my father has four service officers who were appointed by the government, those are all old and young men and cannot do some things well.
"Dad, just buy a family. When our new kiln is ready, we will pick up Qi Niang and the others in the house. At that time, Qi Niang will have to do the miscellaneous work at home."
Dad Zhang thought for a while, "Then buy two, just one slave and one maid."
"Look at it first, I just don't have a place to live at home now?"
"There is an old cave in Kong behind our house. Let your group of people clean up and live there for the time being."
When my father said that, Zhang Chao also remembered that there was a cave cave behind the Zhang family. The cave cave was the same as the one in Zhang's house now. They were both the ownerless kilns that the original owner fled in the early years and never came back. They were dilapidated and the villagers put some firewood and other debris, but if they were tidying up, they would still be fine to stay for a while.
"That's good, go, buy someone."
In the Tang Dynasty, slaves were just like goods and were picked and sold.
Clearly price tags, and you can choose from it.
There are men, women, young and old, and there are even a small number of high-end products such as Kunlun slaves, Silla maids, and Persian Huji. Zhang Chao is not very interested in Kunlun slaves, Silla maids, but he is very interested in the exotic Persian Huji. The Arab Empire has not been established yet, so Persia has not been destroyed by the Arab Empire, and has not begun to convert to the Ishilan religion. These beautiful Persian Huji did not wear black robes and turbans to block their beauty.
What a beautiful orchid.
"How much does this Persian beard cost?"
"Five hundred stags!"
