Chapter 25 A future without tomorrow

Red walls and green tiles, bustling traffic, bustling people, silk and satin, and prosperity. The scene of the county town is nothing more than this.

Most of the people here are ordinary merchants wearing linen clothes, almost none wearing coarse cloth. Occasionally, you can see a few women wearing satin and hairpins buying vegetables and bargaining. This is probably the difference between a county town and a small town.

Bai Yao has exchanged the remaining ten gold bars into one thousand taels. Now this is all she has. Unfortunately, RMB cannot be used.

Soon we arrived in front of a large house, which was as big as a mansion. The courtyard was surrounded by green bricks, had a bright fire, and had a high courtyard gate.

"Master Yun is here? Please come inside."

When the boy guarding the gate saw that it was Yunxuan, he invited the two of them in, and another boy pulled the carriage to the stable at the back door.

The waiter led the two of them to the living room. Bai Yao looked around and found that the buildings here usually have a main entrance that leads to the living room.

"Master Yun, are you here? This is the boss, right? What kind of goods do you want?"

Soon a man came, probably Human Teeth.

"Can you look at them all?"

Bai Yao nodded to the man as a greeting, and then said.

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

The man smiled and refused. I'm just kidding. I'll show you all and you won't be able to buy them all. Isn't it a joke to choose one or two items while looking at his hundreds of items?

"To tell you the truth, I have to pick about fifty or more today. If you don't bring them out for me to take a closer look, how will I pick them? I have to check the quality, right?"

Bai Yao's face was a little cold, maybe because her thoughts were influenced by modern times, and she didn't like Ren Yazi, but human trafficking was legal here.

In modern times, it is illegal to call a human trafficker. Although there have been such people in the black market abroad, those people are cold-blooded and cruel by nature. If she had not been on the investigation mission at that time and could not be impulsive, she would have killed those people.

Those human traffickers, who care less about human life than animals, will strip off women's clothes in the black market and show them to others. If they don't obey, they will directly serve them with torture instruments. It's terrible! Some people coming and going in the black market still let out harsh laughter, such as

devil.

Yun Xuan saw Bai Yao in a daze and looked bad, thinking she was angry.

"Since you want to pick so many people, you can call them all and I will make arrangements."

When Ren Yazi heard that Bai Yao would be sold for more than fifty pieces, he burst into laughter. Seeing the cold face and extraordinary temperament, he felt that Bai Yao was a big shot who went out to do things in a low profile.

"good"

After hearing what Ren Yazi said, Bai Yao came back from his thoughts. This was legal trafficking in ancient times, and it should not be as cruel as the modern black market.

Soon Bai Yao was invited to the backyard. He saw nearly four hundred people standing densely in the yard. People in the crowd were a little dazed and their eyes were dull. There were also people in the front row whose eyes lit up after seeing Bai Yao...

All the emotions of these people came into Bai Yao's eyes one by one, which shows that things are not going very well here in Renyazi.

"Come one row at a time, you are lucky to be favored by the boss! Don't be shy, keep your heads up!"

Ren Yazi flicked his whip, and the group of people immediately fell silent, and then Ren Yazi said loudly.

"Take a look"

Ren Yazi's lowered face turned to look at Bai Yao, who was already beaming.

"A hundred people will come first, and the rest will wait next door."

Bai Yao said lightly. Ren Yao immediately made arrangements according to Bai Yao's instructions.

"Men who can cook or are interested in cooking, stand here."

Bai Yao pointed to the side and said. Immediately, the crowd started to move, and three men came out.

The three of them are all short, and one is a bit fat, but they can see endless vicissitudes of life in their eyes.

"Those under sixteen years old stand this way."

I saw twenty-six people coming out of the crowd, six of whom were only four or five years old. They looked confused, and some adults pushed them out.

"Those who know how to farm stand here."

Only four people stood up.

"He who knows how to take care of children and do all housework is here."

Only two women came out.

Bai Yao found that most of the remaining women were good-looking women, and they seemed to have been bought by wealthy families to be maids or concubines.

"Any girl under the age of twenty who doesn't want to be a concubine, can endure hardships, and has ambitions stands here."

Bai Yao hesitated for a moment and then said this. In the crowd, a girl facing Bai Yao stood up resolutely, and then nine girls also came out.

Exactly ten in total.

"Okay, let the rest go down."

Hearing Bai Yao's words, Ren Yazi's face blossomed into a smile and he took the other people away. Then another hundred people came over.

Bai Yao still screened in this way, and out of the one hundred people, more than seventy people were eliminated.

There were more than 130 people in the last batch, more than 90 people were eliminated, and 40 people remained.

There are now nearly 125 people left.

"Do we need so many people?"

Yun Xuan was a bit angry when he saw Bai Yao had chosen so many people. How are they going to support so many people? They haven't started business yet.

"Of course not, let's take a look first."

Bai Yao looked enigmatic and didn't say anything. He stayed quiet for more than ten minutes. He couldn't sit still anymore, and neither could the more than a hundred people.

"Then do you want it or not?"

Ren Yazi felt a little speechless. He had let this group of people stand for so long, and he had stayed with them for so long. Bai Yao was drinking tea leisurely.

"Of course I have to pick again, you, you, you, you guys, and you..."

Bai Yao pointed out nearly fifty people in total. These fifty people walked out with some disdain. Although they were a little angry, they did not dare to say anything. They all thought they had been selected and were a little arrogant.

Until Bai Yao said, "They don't want these, they want the rest."

The group of people named by Bai Yao glared at Bai Yao with great disdain. If you don't want us, it's your loss. The group of people she wants are not good at what they do.

Especially the group of sickly children and those wearing ragged clothes, they look like they are not smart and they really don't know how to choose.

Even Yunxuan and Renyazi were confused, and they singled out Bai Yao, who looked relatively clean and capable.

"A person's first priority is not to be smart, but to be loyal," Bai Yao said calmly after seeing Yun Xuan's frown and confusion.

As long as you are not mentally retarded, intelligence can be cultivated. She has studied micro-expression psychology. People with bad personalities, impatient or too proud are not what she needs.

She only wants people who are willing to do things down-to-earth, don't play tricks, obey arrangements, and are serious. For such people, they must first be patient.

If you don't even have a little patience, you will complain about the smallest things in the future. Once people complain, they will betray easily. Only those who are patient, down-to-earth and willing to work can become loyal ministers.

Many of the people she chooses are people who have suffered hardships, have enough food and clothing, are not warm, and are patient. Such people make them feel that you are treating them well, and they will be loyal to you.

Bai Yao has always seen people very accurately. Every time she goes on a mission, she is the first to find the leader. Some people's eyes cannot deceive others, unless everyone who changes the leader performs it to perfection.

The only thing that she couldn't see through was the man with silver-grey eyes. She shook her head, why did she think of that dream again? After all, it was normal that she couldn't see through the dream.

"There are seventy-five people in total, do you want all of them?" Ren Yazi was already grinning from ear to ear. He had received such a big business just after the goods from several places arrived today, and there would be no shortage of rewards from above.

.

"Look again"

Seeing the look in Ren Yazi's eyes, he felt that the price was not low. Although her house was large, it could not accommodate more than seventy people.

Her house can accommodate up to twenty-five people, but fortunately, Yunxuan also has an empty courtyard with four entrances, which can accommodate forty people.

"You will have to endure hardship if you follow me, but I can guarantee your food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you can't bear the hardship, just leave."

Bai Yao said lightly. Bai Yao found that most of the children under the age of sixteen who stayed had basically not left, and those who were named to leave for the first time were not among those children.

At this time, more than a dozen people came out. They were a little regretful. It was not easy for them to be driven all the way to the border towns, and now they had to endure hardship. They didn't know what degree of hardship Bai Yao meant.

In their opinion, they should be doing something that costs lives.

They are afraid and dare not gamble. Gambling on a future with no tomorrow.
