Chapter 848 Kidnapping a few people
The man watched silently without saying a word. After boiling the milk, he went out of the house and came back shortly with two wooden stools. "You two girls, please sit down."
After a while, the milk tea was ready. The man took two bowls, poured two bowls and handed them to Gu Fei and Qin'er.
Gu Fei then asked: "We are lost, where is this place?"
The man also poured a bowl of milk tea for Anji, "This is Danshan Racecourse, and this town is called Qingquan Town."
Gu Fei's eyes lit up, he found the right place.
“You two girls want to buy a horse?”
Gu Fei nodded.
The man said: "If you want to buy a horse, you can go to Mr. Yang, who was just now, but there are not many horses here."
“The horses are all grazing outside now, and they will not return to the horse farm until October, when winter comes.”
October, that’s almost two months away.
Gu Fei thought for a while and asked: "By the way, why did that person hit you just now?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "He is the master and I am the slave. He can fight whenever he wants."
Then the man talked, and Gu Fei finally figured it out. This was the imperial court's racecourse, covering an area of several million acres. There were four racecourses in total in small towns like this. Each town was about a hundred miles apart, and all were built. A large stable was built to allow the horses to survive the winter.
???
For example, if deaths from illness are overreported, the number of foals born will also be underreported.
These horses that were concealed were naturally sold secretly for money.
Then Mr. Yang is the lackey of a certain official, who is responsible for selling horses and managing their servants who serve the horses.
Gu Fei thought about it and realized that the horse farm in Prince Qi's Mansion was short of manpower, so he asked, "Have you ever thought about changing your life?"
The man showed a confused expression, "Where else? Where else? I only know how to raise horses. My ancestors have raised horses for generations, and they are all slaves. My son has been a slave all his life, and he will definitely raise horses like me in the future."
Also because our ancestors have been slaves for generations, we can all speak Mandarin.
Gu Fei coughed lightly, "I mean, you can stop being slaves and find another place to raise horses and get wages. If you are willing, you can also let Anji go to school to learn literacy."
The man murmured: "Go to school to learn how to read?"
Angie opened her big eyes and asked, "What is going to school?"
Gu Fei took out a book from his arms, opened it, pointed to the words on it and said: "Going to school means many children like you, sitting in the classroom, learning the words on it, and recognizing the words, there are If you have knowledge, you can take the scientific examination and become an official."
“Just like Mr. Yang’s master.”
Anji's eyes widened, "I have met Mr. Yang's master. Mr. Yang will kneel down when he sees him."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at his father, "Abba, I want to go to school. After I go to school and become an official, Mr. Yang won't dare to bully you anymore."
Gu Fei smiled at An Ji and said, "It's not that easy. Studying is a very hard thing. The scientific examination is very difficult. Even if there are a hundred scholars, one may not be able to become an official."
The man looked at Anji and then at the book in Gu Fei's hand, his expression a little shaken, "Is everything you said true?"
Gu Fei nodded, "If you are willing to leave with me, I can promise to eliminate your and Anji's slave registration. We have no control over our affairs here, and we can re-register you and Anji's household registration."
Speaking of household registration, Gu Fei remembered that Lanzhi's slave status had not been cancelled. Well, she had to remember this and cancel Lanzhi's slave status when she went back.
Ping'an City now belongs to King Qi, and he can do whatever he wants.
