Chapter 174 How many people were bought at one time
"Can you read and write?" she asked one of the more clever-looking boys.
"In reply to your question, young lady, I know a little bit." The young man answered respectfully.
Chen Qingxin nodded and asked another young man, "Are there any other people in your family?"
"I have parents and a younger sister at home."
Chen Qingxin continued to ask other questions, trying to understand the situation of each teenager.
Shopkeeper Qian watched from the side and occasionally interrupted to ask a few questions.
In the end, she chose a boy named Xiaochen.
Xiaochen looks smart and sensible, and has read some books.
Chen Qingxin asked Chen Qingwen in a low voice: "What do you think of Xiaochen? He has no parents, no worries, and he's pretty smart."
Chen Qingwen smiled and nodded: "Let's pick him. He's 12 years old and can stay with me for a few more years. Qingwen also thinks he's a good fit."
So Chen Qingxin said to Shopkeeper Qian: "Choose Xiaochen as the book boy, and I'll take the others as well, for other purposes.
Are there any other ones between 12-20?
Regardless of gender, those who have no family ties will be given priority. "
Shopkeeper Qian smiled and nodded: "Miss Chen has good taste, Xiaochen is indeed a good kid.
The other kids are OK too.
How many do you need exactly?
I'll order someone to bring the person here."
"200! Was there any family that was sold at the same time?"
Chen Qingxin’s idea is very simple. With the whole family together, the adults can manage the store and the children can be trained so that they can be useful in the future.
Since they are involved with each other, they will have more concerns and generally will not do bad things.
After all, they can't afford to take the risk as one move could affect the entire body.
I don't particularly want to use puppet pills on my subordinates.
If you can make people willingly follow you wholeheartedly, it’s better than controlling them secretly, right?
Even though she was a killer in her previous life, she still has moral bottom line and conscience.
Shopkeeper Qian thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. How many households does Miss Chen want?"
“Three to four households will be enough.”
Shopkeeper Qian stood up and said, "Miss Chen, please wait a moment. I will do it myself immediately.
After a while, Shopkeeper Qian handed the information to Chen Qingxin:
"Miss Chen, there are 320 people lined up outside the yard, and there are five families. You can choose any one you like."
Chen Qingxin took the information, glanced at it briefly, and then walked to the door.
When the people standing in line at the door saw her appear in their sight, they knelt down on the ground in unison.
"Everyone get up!"
She raised her hand calmly, "Raise your head."
The boys and girls raised their heads one by one and looked at Chen Qingxin timidly.
She looked around and found that although these people were dressed simply, they were all neat and tidy.
Instead of becoming decadent and negative because of the difficult living conditions, they are full of energy and vigor.
Chen Qingxin nodded: "Very good.
Take them all, including those five families. I want them all."
As her martial arts skills continued to improve, her ability to judge people also improved.
Just now, I used the power of my mind and saw a clear scene.
This shows that these people have very pure hearts.
At least he had no ill will towards her.
Shopkeeper Qian tripped over his left foot and nearly fell:
"Um... Miss Chen, do you want all of these?"
Chen Qingxin saw the owner of the dental shop with his mouth so open that he forgot to close it.
She raised the corners of her mouth and said teasingly: "Why? Shopkeeper Qian wants to keep it for himself?"
Shopkeeper Qian quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no! I definitely don't mean that! All of them are for you. Hahaha!"
Chen Qingxin was even more straightforward: "Haha! Then sign the agreement and go through the formalities.
When you are done, go to the county government office to get the seal. I will lend you this place to arrange the personnel first."
"Okay, okay, I'll draft the agreement right away." Shopkeeper Qian smiled from ear to ear.
The contract was quickly written and both parties signed and stamped their fingerprints.
Shopkeeper Qian moved the beads on the abacus: "There are 350 people in total, 8 taels per person on average, a total of 2800 taels."
Chen Qingxin did not bargain, and immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Please count."
Shopkeeper Qian smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He took the banknotes with both hands, spat on his index finger, and then began to count them.
"Yes, Miss Chen, exactly 2800 taels.
Then, I will go to the county government to get the seal now.
Please help yourself, Xiaodouzi, and change the tea for Miss Chen and Mr. Chen."
After he finished speaking, he took the documents and hurried out of the hospital.
Chen Qingxin took a sip of tea, then looked at one of the older boys: "What's your name?"
The young man quickly replied respectfully: "My name is Zhong Qin. Please give me a name."
Chen Qingxin twitched his lips and thought: Name given? Another name given. What should I do if I seem to be a bit bad at naming?
Her mind was working rapidly and she looked at him carefully. She found that the boy looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a dark complexion and rough skin, and it seemed that he had been working for many years.
He is a little tall, but not the strong and muscular type.
She turned to look at another slightly older boy and found that his temperament was different from Zhong Qin's.
He looked weak and introverted, always with a smile on his face, and his eyes were warm and clear, like a pool of clear water without a speck of dust.
Chen Qingxin pondered for a while and felt that these two people were more in line with his requirements, so he nodded and asked: "Your name is Li Qingfeng? Who else is in your family?"
Li Qingfeng immediately knelt down and replied respectfully: "My parents are dead..."
Chen Qingxin frowned and said, "Well, from now on, you and Zhong Qin will be responsible for training these people. Are you willing?"
"Yes!" Li Qingfeng answered without hesitation.
"Well, starting tomorrow you two will help me teach the new guys how to read and write, and teach them business concepts."
"But I don't know how to do business!"
Chen Qingxin curled his lips slightly: "Is it okay to read according to the script?
I give you the book, and you just need to do what is written in the book.
Who is born to do business?
First, you need to learn the theoretical knowledge thoroughly, then practice it, and then someone will naturally guide you.”
"Yes, the girl is right!" Zhong Qin and Li Qingfeng said in unison.
Chen Qingxin nodded with satisfaction: "You two get up."
"Yes, girl!" they both answered in unison.
Chen Qingxin waved his hand and looked at the hundred or so girls standing in front of him.
The most outstanding ones are the 10 girls who have tattoos on their left cheeks and right foreheads.
Is this the prisoner who was punished with ink?
Tattoo punishment, also known as tattoo punishment.
Specifically, it means tattooing the criminal's face and then applying charcoal ink that grows into the skin, indicating that this is a sign of a crime that can never be erased.
Chen Qingxin glanced at a few people, then instructed Li Qingfeng:
"Li Qingfeng, keep these few here and teach them how to do accounting in the future.
Managing accounts does not require going out and interacting with others, which is more suitable for them now! ”
Ten girls with tattoos on their faces suddenly fell to their knees and kowtowed to the ground with three bangs.
