Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 261 Su He and the others go to buy people together

Su He's aesthetics have always been traditional, and she doesn't like those modern fancy things. She has always liked the calm and majestic Chinese style, and even her original live broadcast room was in Chinese classical style.

Traditional screen partitions, corner table flower stands, and large treasure cabinets are all her favorites. Those things have an ancient style and charm that can make people feel calm.

Su He felt that people came to teahouses and restaurants to drink tea and eat quietly. If they wanted to make a fuss, there were plenty of places. The red-light district was enough for them to have fun. Although she didn't like those places, she would never lack them. It was just a change of name, but the substance remained the same. It was just a little more secretive in the civilized era.

Su He also needs people to entertain guests, which is not something retired soldiers can do, so she can find two town guards to serve as security. She needs to buy people and train them, and all these need to be prepared in advance.

She told her father about buying a person, and of course he fully cooperated. He took the money and continued to look for a pawnbroker to see where to buy a person. Su He suggested calling Uncle Feng and the others. It didn't matter who came. Anyway, they all knew someone here, and it was easier to get things done with someone familiar. It was best not to make any inroads.

In his previous life, Su He had already understood many ways of interpersonal communication. He had to use the favors of acquaintances and friends, and he had to use them whenever he had the chance, so as to strengthen the relationship. Of course, gifts had to be given, and reciprocity was very important.

Humans are social animals. Don't dream of living alone. Sooner or later, you will get into trouble. There are many rules and regulations in this world that bind people. The management system from those in power will not allow a person to live without any constraints.

When Su He came to this world, he knew more about how the ancients used power. They used power to the extreme, making the people at the bottom live like ants. There is no human rights here at all. You can only work hard to climb to the upper class to fight for some rights. As for the pinnacle of power, it is not something that an ordinary person can easily climb.

So she never gambled with her own interests. They couldn't afford it, so they didn't try to challenge those in power. She now hoped that her brothers could pass the imperial examinations and bring opportunities to her family. But she also deeply understood that money was indispensable, otherwise how could they go to the capital to take the exam? All of this required the support of silver.

They went back together to call Feng Dayuan, who happened to know someone, so they could just find someone directly. The middle-aged broker saw Feng Dayuan coming and said with a smile: "Brother Feng is here, do you want to buy someone?"

Feng Dayuan smiled and said, "This is my master. He wants to pick some young people who are quick and nimble and have clean minds. Bring them here!"

The middle-aged dentist smiled and said, "It just so happens that a group of people have just arrived not long ago. They are all servants of wealthy families. They are very well behaved and you can pick them out."

As he spoke, he walked into the backyard, leading over forty or fifty people. They were all young men and women, around twenty years old, neatly dressed. Although they looked frightened, their features were delicate and it was obvious that they had come here to wash up.

The servants of the wealthy families were all selected by people, and they all looked very bad. They looked very energetic. But they were a little thin, which might be because they were treated harshly during the road test.

Su He first asked Feng Dayuan to make the selection for him: "Uncle Feng, please help to filter out the unacceptable ones first, and we will choose the rest. This way it will be easier to choose, and your vision is broader than ours."

Feng Dayuan felt relieved when he heard this. Miss Su He was very good at talking and being a good person. This had nothing to do with age. He smiled and agreed: "Okay! I'll help you choose first, and then you and your father can choose slowly."

At this time, Su He was not idle either. She watched Feng Dayuan carefully as he selected people. He walked up to them and said with a smile, "Please raise your hands, line up and go around me one by one."
