    Ye Chang waved his hand until his brother's figure was no longer visible, then he lowered his hand.  Although Ye Shu's warnings and explanations were somewhat displeasing to him, he could clearly feel the caring and caring brother-in-hand feelings.  Looking back at Liu Gui, Ye Chang felt even more disgusted.  Probably because he felt that Ye Chang was in a bad mood, Liu Gui shrank his neck and walked lightly.  Following Ye Chang into the market, they went straight to Tan Qinshou's shop. Seeing Ye Chang coming to visit, Tan Qinshou was very surprised: "Why is Ye Langjun so free today?"  Shopkeeper, I have something to do about the paper workshop, Shopkeeper Qin. I hope Shopkeeper Qin can help me hire a master craftsman" When Ye Chang said this, he saw Liu Gui listening with his ears raised and frowned slightly: "  Liu Gui, go to the street and ask where they sell chickens and what the price is. " This is obviously to send Liu Gui away. Liu Gui is secretly resentful, but he has to leave.  But when he went out and pretended to leave, he actually made a small circle and returned to the front of Qin Ji's Bamboo Store, leaning against the wall.  "I want a skilled craftsman to try my papermaking method. It doesn't require him to be very skilled. He just needs to be obedient and honest Shopkeeper Qin has a lot of contacts. He must know such a person, right?" "Ye Langjun was so impressed.  , Pu and the papermaker do not know each other, but since Ye Langjun is entrusted to Pu, then Pu will definitely look for Ye Langjun, and there will be a reply within ten days at the latest. If Ye Langjun wants to hire a craftsman, he must.  Once the contract is drawn up, it will be easy to recruit servants for Ye Langjun. " "The wages will be doubled, and 10% of the shares will be given as a gift." "Huh? Ye Langjun is really generous."  Good luck" "That servant is just waiting for Ye Langjun's paper to be made. I wish Ye Langjun a fortune Now that we have found a way to divert water from the Hong Canal, we are ready to report it to the court. Although Ye Langjun has great ambitions  Noble, but if there is a reward from the imperial court, Ye Langjun should not refuse it" The voice was still very clear. Liu Gui was about to spit lightly when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of him, and then he saw the dark and strong Lin Xi.  Tama stood in front of him with a strange smile on his face.  "Ah, why did I come back again? I have to find out where to buy chicks" Liu Gui murmured and turned to leave. Lin Xizhu saw him walking away before returning to the house: "Ye  "Lang Jun, there's something wrong with your servant. He was eavesdropping here just now." "This is the second thing I want to ask Shopkeeper Qin for help." Ye Chang sighed: "It's because of the family's misfortune.  He was the spy who inserted himself into my house in order to plot my fortune. I brought him here today and asked Mr. Qin to sell him. " "Ah, there is someone there.  "This matter?" The Tang Dynasty allowed the sale of slaves, and it was common for those disobedient and dishonest slaves to be resold. Tan Qinshou was not surprised that Ye Chang wanted to sell Liu Gui, and an angry look appeared on his face: "Really?"  If you bully someone too much, Ye Langjun should just break his legs and make him dare to cheat!" "You should be careful," Ye Chang said with a smile.  Although he smiled, his eyes were cold. Tan Qinshou immediately understood and nodded: "I will invite someone hereXizhen, go and invite Lao Duan." Liu Gui didn't know what happened after he left.  He randomly asked which store had chickens for sale, and then returned.  But they found that in addition to Ye Chang, Tan, and Lin, there was a stout man sitting in the store. Behind the man, there were two people who looked like green-skinned thugs.  "Is it him?" The sturdy man asked Ye Chang after seeing Liu Gui.  "Exactly." "I'm old, so I shouldn't count it like this." "You're in your prime, how can you talk about being old?" Ye Chang said with a smile: "I just want to get rid of the troublesome slave. Shopkeeper Duan just said so if he wants to lower the price. Why bother looking for more?"  The reason is, twenty strings, you will get a strong slave." "Okay, Ye Langjun is so cool, I won't be wordy, Duan Dade likes Shuangli people the most." The man who calls himself Duan Dade stood up.  Looking at Liu Gui, he smiled ferociously.  No matter how stupid Liu Gui was, he understood what was happening at this time. He was stunned for a moment, and then howled: "Eleventh Lang, you can't sell me, I'm not your slave, I am Changzhi"  With that said, Ye Chang had already taken out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Duan Dade: "Here is the body contract." Liu Gui's words stopped abruptly.  Which branch he belongs to depends entirely on whose hands his body deed is in. In other words, this body deed determines his fate.  "Diao Nu, it's not up to you to decide whether I can sell you or not." Duan Dade looked at Liu Gui and chuckled, "Ye Langjun seems to be a soft-hearted person at first glance, so that's why you, Diao Nu, are so arrogant.  It's in my hands, master"If you don't know what's going on, then I have to show you my methods!"  "Under his gaze, Liu Gui was like a mouse meeting a cat. He was yelling and cursing, but he couldn't even say it out! "Selling this guy, my family is short of someone. If shopkeeper Duan has the right one, I will  I want a two-year-old boy or a **-year-old girl.  "Ye Chang said again. "It's a coincidence. I happen to have two young men in my hands. However, although the young men are not as good as a strong man, the price is not cheap. They cost fifteen guan each. What does Ye Langjun think?  " Ye Chang was still a little reluctant to deal with this kind of human trafficking, so he was unwilling to bargain with Duan Dade. He just wanted to solve it as soon as possible. At that moment, he nodded: "Call me to have a look, don't be too stupid.  Also, don¡¯t be cunning since you were in elementary school.  " "Don't worry, even if you are cunning, you will learn to behave in the hands of me, Mr. Duan.  " Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Gui turned around and wanted to run away, but the two men beside Duan Dade had arrived behind him at some point. They pinched him on both sides and he was unable to move. " "One boy, plus five more strings."  Duan Dade said cheerfully: "I will send out the thank you gift from the gentleman, and I will come back as soon as I go."  " Xiuwu County is just a small town, not very big, and the city is the same size. Not long after Duan Dade left, he invited Fang Zheng and an old man to come. This kind of human trading also requires a middleman. The people he brought were also  There was a skinny little boy who was in a bad mental state. He looked only 6 years old, which was different from the eleven or twelve years old Ye Chang requested. However, he saw a pair of eyes that were a little confused and numb.  , Ye Chang couldn't bear it, so he didn't bother to argue with Duan Dade anymore - the little boy would at least get better treatment by his side than by Duan Dade's side. Liu Gui was still crying and howling, but later it turned into threats and scoldings, but Ye Chang was just.  Ignore it. In the end, Duan Dade couldn't help but signaled to the two thugs. After a ping-pong sound, the world became quiet. However, there was another problem. Datang was actually receiving copper coins.  Troubled by the problem of insufficient money, Duan Dade saw that Ye Chang was in a hurry to trade and deliberately took advantage of it, so he only paid one copper coin and used silk to make up for the remaining four. "That's it.  Seeing Tan Qin Shou want to argue with Duan Dade, Ye Chang smiled and waved his hand: "This slave was given by the elders. Selling it for money is already a windfall, so there is no need to worry about it."  It's getting late. I have to go back. Shopkeeper Qin. Thank you very much for today. I will cook again when you come to Wu Ze in the future.  " "Speaking of this, Ye Langjun's cooking skills are really rare. If Ye Langjun opens a restaurant, business will definitely be good.  " After a few more greetings, Ye Chang said goodbye. In addition to five pieces of money, he was followed by the boy. The boy's name was Chun Ming, and he didn't know what his last name should be. In this case, Ye Chang let him  His surname is Ye. He is really not very clever, and has almost no aura like Xiang'er. He is also timid in his words and actions. He has obviously suffered a lot from Duan Dade, so Chunming has a deep understanding of these hardships.  His new master was also very scared, not knowing what his fate would be. Ye Chang¡¯s first impression on him was quite kind. ¡°Chunming, are you literate?  " "Hui Langjun, a simple and humble man, illiterate.  " "Despicable peoplehehe, you'd better learn some words, I'll teach you."  "Ye Chang smiled and broke off a roadside branch, and drew the word "one" on the ground, then the word "two", and then the word "three". "This is one,"  Two, three, just remember it, and then follow my example and write it on the ground.  " Chunming looked at Ye Chang blankly, not understanding what he meant. After Ye Chang urged him again, he took the branch, looked at the words on the ground, hesitated for a while, and then drew according to the pattern.  Come out. But he changed the horizontal to vertical. Ye Chang taught him again. When he tried it again, Ye Chang found that he was very focused when writing, which made Ye Chang very happy to teach Chun Ming.  The words were not just a whim, but also an opportunity for him to secretly observe the child's character and talent. He had taught as a teacher in his previous life, and he knew very well that what he feared most about learning was not students' slow response or poor talent, but lack of concentration.  Without the spirit of concentration, no matter how smart a student is, they are just wasting their talents. The two slowly returned, taking an hour and a half to go. When they approached the village, Ye Chang took the Chun test.  Ming, he wrote all three words this time, and Ye Chang praised him. Seeing that the master was very kind, Chunming finally became a little bolder, and his lips moved. Ye Chang saw that he seemed to want to speak.  Then he asked, "What do you want me to do?"Said?  ¡± Emboldening his courage, Chunming asked: ¡°The first is one horizontal line, the second is two horizontal lines, the third is three horizontal lines The villain is thinking, then the person with the surname Wan, isn¡¯t it ten thousand horizontal lines?  How much paper do you need to write a letter to someone named Wan?  Ye Chang laughed loudly when he heard this: "Don't worry, don't worry, the ancestors who coined Chinese characters have thought of this a long time ago, and naturally have a way to abbreviate it. Well, this is a ten thousand characters" He first wrote a traditional Chinese character ten thousand characters, many  The strokes clearly made Chunming dizzy, and then he wrote three more strokes of the abbreviation Wan Zi. ¡°These two characters are both Wan Zi. Which one do you think is more useful?  " Different from what those fools in later generations who cling to the so-called "traditional Chinese characters" thought, in fact, during the Tang Dynasty, and even further back during the Han Dynasty, Chinese characters had been greatly simplified. For example, the character "wan" has always been simplified and traditional.  Universal. Chunming naturally pointed to the simplified word "Wan" and said: "This is good, this is simple.  " "Then just write this.  "Ye Chang said: "There is no need to write 10,000 horizontal strokes.  " Chunming laughed, knowing that he had just made a joke. This was the first time he laughed in front of Ye Chang. Ye Chang rubbed his hair as if to Xiang'er: "I will teach you more in the future.  There are many things at home that may require your help. Little Chunming, you must work hard!  " Chunming stood in a daze, his somewhat dull eyes suddenly became clearer, and two crystal drops were spinning in his eyes, but he tried hard to control them and prevent them from falling. "In his short life,  He has long understood that crying will not bring any mercy, but only scolding and beatings. Although he is young and his reaction is a little slow, he is not really stupid. He naturally knows that what Ye Chang said and did just now came from him.  Sincerely, and the words "Xiao Chunming, you must work hard" are full of expectations for him This feeling of being expected "Let's go, Xiao Chunming, we will be home soon.  I have to clean up the house for you after you go back. Today you are new, so we have to add some dishes to celebrate.  "Ye Chang didn't know that the little boy behind him already had mixed feelings in his heart. "Yes, Lang Jun.  Chunming followed quickly. He suddenly felt a little happy about this new master. But as he approached the village, he realized that his new master seemed to have more than just an amiable side. People in the village, young and old,  , they all greet and salute when they see him, some of them are obviously very old, and they even bow deeply. That kind of respect must be sincere. "The Eleventh Prince is back!"  " "Hey, why don't you see Liu Gui's guy? Could it be that he is lazy again?  " When they were about to get home, someone finally thought that Ye Chang had brought Liu Gui with him when he went out, and asked Ye Chang. "Liu Gui is always lazy and refuses to keep his peace, and I don't want to send him to see an official, so I simply  They broke up in one fell swoop and sold him.  Ye Chang said with a smile: "It's just that the boy is really useless. Even the servant is not willing to pay. I only paid twenty guan, so I hired another boy to help."  "The person who asked about this opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost dropped. Normally, everyone thinks that Shiyilang is gentle and polite. Even if he quarrels with others, his face will turn red and he will not do anything. But he never  Thinking that he didn't do anything, he actually sold Liu Gui to Ren Yazi! Everyone knew what would happen to Liu Gui if he fell into Ren Yazi's hands. Ren Yazi would definitely sell him to a distant place.  He went to a foreign land, and the owner who spent dozens of dollars to buy Liu Gui would not let the dozens of dollars go to waste. He had to squeeze the value back from Liu Gui. Wu Ze was not that big.  Naturally, there is no way to hide any secrets in this place. Soon, the news of Ye Chang¡¯s sale of Liu Gui was spread to the head of the third house: ¡°How dare you!  " Mrs. Liu was so angry that her eyebrows were trembling, and her whole body was like a ignited flame. She rushed out and was halfway through. Thinking of the time she went to Sanzhi alone and almost ate Ye Chang's pickaxe, she snapped  He said: "Everyone who can breathe and roll, come out with me, take your belongings, and go to Sanzhi!"  " There were quite a few servants in Changzhi. Immediately, the strong servants, the little ones, the maids, the servants, and the women, either holding rolling pins or hoes and shovels, rushed towards Sanzhi's yard with great arrogance. There was a lot of fighting along the way.  The crow cawed, and when they arrived in front of Sanzhimen, they didn't forget to smash two clay pots.
