Xiao Sheng walked forward after hearing this and raised the woman's chin.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that a man could marry at the age of 16 and a woman could marry at the age of 14. She was actually less than 16 and looked pretty. Xiao Sheng asked, "Can you know how to read?"

"I know that the master of my family is a scholar, and I have also studied."

Xiao Sheng nodded and said to the butler on the side: "Write her."

"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Xiuyun thanked him gratefully.

On this side, Luan Xiao came close with his sister on his back. The guard next to him scolded: "Get out quickly! Don't let the bad luck of the dead hit the Lord!"

Luan Xiao looked angry when he heard this, but he refused to retort loudly, but tried his best to say in a normal tone: "My sister is still alive, we both have to go in."

The guard was about to continue saying something, Xiao Sheng came to explore the little girl's breath and said, "I'm alive, I'm going to do it."

Xiao Sheng did not show any pity throughout the whole process because he knew that he could not do so.

This time, two hundred young servants and thirty women were selected, and ten more strong men were selected.

This number of people is really nothing compared to so many disaster victims.

Today I can only get these people. There are too many places, and he can't attract thousands of people with one wave, as he will be targeted.

Zhu Youjian has not ascended the throne yet and has no absolute backer. He has shown too much wealth and is just asking for trouble.

Wei Zhongxian was unreliable, for fear that he would have revealed too much wealth, so the first person to attack him was Jiu Qiansui.

Xiao Sheng bought three relatively large houses in the outer city area and spent more than 800 taels of silver. This amount of silver was naturally just a drizzle for him.

I used to trade jade with Zhao Mucheng, with a total of 380 million and 200 million in cash, and the rest was exchanged for silver bars.

Industrial silver is 3.65 yuan per gram, while one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was 37.3 grams, and 180 million can be exchanged for 1.32 million taels of silver.

Now the flow of Spanish silver into the Ming Dynasty has decreased, and the silver in the Ming Dynasty is expensive and copper is cheap, and the value preservation level is very high.

If such a large amount of money is really invested, it can bring up an army of ten thousand people.

However, due to natural disasters, what is actually missing is not silver, but food and other materials at this time.

This cannot be directly solved through Xiao Sheng's trade in the two realms. The only way is to increase the grain output of the Ming Dynasty and increase productivity.

Xiao Sheng had already discussed with Zhu Youjian that the two high-yield crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes, were promoted in the Ming Dynasty, but now is not the time.

He brought the people to the courtyard, and Xiao Sheng divided them into accommodation areas according to age, men and women, and then gave them food and asked them to go to the stove to cook on their own.

Those who cook are the simplest rice porridge. This is not the rice porridge that can be counted clearly in the bowl outside, but the thick rice porridge.

Although there is no food, everyone looks happy when they drink it.

Luan Se was fed by Luan Xiao at first, but when she recovered a little strength, she drank in big mouthfuls, fearing that she would never get it again.

"Don't be able to hold on to death. Follow the Lord and work hard. From now on, you will have two meals every day to be full." Li Tuan, the shopkeeper hired by Xiao Shengxin, spoke.

This is not a joke. Many victims will eat hard after getting food, and many people are dying of death.

"Select the literate ones and take the family out, stand in the middle with both the family and the literate ones." Xiao Sheng ordered Li Tuan.

Li Tuan immediately divided these people.

The young servants recruited by Xiao Sheng were about ten to sixteen years old, and they were easier to support at this age. Of course, the best feeding here means that they are better and less likely to get sick. At this time, it is the time when they are getting stronger and they eat the most.

Among the young servants, less than 20% of the women were women.

Most girls were sold or abandoned along the way.

This was a very common thing in ancient society during the disaster year. The ancient society favored boys over girls, which was also very obvious at this time.

After picking it out, Xiao Sheng ordered: "These literate people make two clothes for clothes, and the others make one. Now I'll find someone to measure the size and let them make the clothes within three days. The money is not a problem.

In addition, no matter what clothes they have, let them take a shower first and then change into clean ones, so as not to get my house dirty.

The house will be divided with them as soon as possible. Settled up today. Tomorrow you will give them some work and teach them the rules. The group of people in the middle will take them to the yard on the left tomorrow, and I will arrange it myself."

"Yes, sir!" Li Tuan took the order to make arrangements, and Xiao Sheng left here directly.

He needs to prepare for the sale of glass mirrors tomorrow.

In fact, many people are concerned about the origin of this glass mirror. After all, it is such a wealthy way of wealth. No one wants to get a kick, but they have been observing for a long time and no one can see Xiao Sheng.

Goodbye will happen in these two days.

So they guessed whether Xiao Sheng dug a hole underground and transported the goods through the hole.

This should be the most reliable statement, and everyone generally believes this.

There are all kinds of legends about Xiao Sheng, but no matter what, on Friday, on July 23, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the second batch of glazed mirrors arrived.

Then more than half of the last order was met, and a large number of orders were added.

The reputation of Liuli Pavilion has once again expanded and spread to the surrounding areas.

The rich households in the late Ming Dynasty were mainly in two places, one was the Jiangnan area of ​​the important taxation areas of each dynasty and dynasty, and the other was the Shanxi Jin merchants.

Although the glazed mirror has not been able to spread to Jiangnan in such a short time, it has been spread to the Shanxi merchants.

They were naturally moved by such treasures, especially because it is said that Xiao Sheng also had a long-distance trade route, which was even more involved.

Therefore, on that day, they not only sent people to order a large number of mirrors, but also sent someone to discuss the alliance with Xiao Sheng.

What were the Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty? They reselled military supplies and military supplies, allowing the Qing Dynasty to develop, and finally attracted Jin soldiers into the pass.

In order to thank the Shanxi merchants for their help, the Qing court enthroned the eight major Shanxi merchants recognized by the royal family, which were exclusively for the royal family, and made great profits...

Xiao Sheng was resistant to collusion with such a group of people, but he thought that Shanxi merchants were very rich, so it would be OK if these glass pieces could be used to cut out the money from Shanxi merchants' hands.

Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian discussed finding time to search all their houses, and there should be no wrongdoing.

However, this is definitely not possible at the beginning. It will take at least two or three years to train and obtain an absolutely loyal Ming army that can win battles.

Only with a reliable armed force in hand can you do such dangerous things.

Those Shanxi merchants are not easy to mess with. Which family does not have thousands of servants to keep, and with a lot of money, can easily lead a team of resistance.
