Chapter 376: What I Want is a Death Contract
Sang Ye had no sympathy at all for the Prince of Lin'an and his wife. The couple did such cruel things to the former Princess of Lin'an and her children, thinking they could live a peaceful life.
Just ridiculous.
"I see."
He put down his hand and looked at the group of servants, "Tell me what you are good at."
"I think someone recognized me."
"Now that you've recognized me, don't lie to me."
More than half of the servants recognized Sang Ye, and even if they had any ulterior motives, they did not dare to dance in front of him.
From left to right, each of them talked about what they were good at and what they handled in the Lin'an Palace.
"I was originally the purchasing manager of the Lin'an Palace. I'm good at purchasing and know many good merchants."
"I was originally the steward of the Lin'an Palace. I was born in a family, and my father was also the steward of the Lin'an Palace."
Sang Ye knew this housekeeper and had some understanding of him. He was a very capable person, but it was a pity that he met such a master.
He didn't say anything immediately, but listened one by one to distinguish the truth from the lies.
It took a quarter of an hour and a half for the servants to introduce themselves.
Sang Ye glanced at Lao Yu and repeated his request: "Which slaves here are suitable?"
Old Yu knew that it was not that the young master did not understand, but that he understood too well and specifically asked him this question.
"Young Master, I would like to recommend the butler first."
He pulled the butler out and said with a smile, "The butler's character is guaranteed and his abilities are also very good."
"But I want to be Siqi's slave." Sang Ye said.
As soon as the words "death contract" were uttered, more than 60% of the slaves lowered their heads, as if they were afraid that they would be chosen.
"Big brother, what does a death contract mean?" asked Mu Baobao.
This is also what Mu Laosan wanted to ask.
Sang Ye explained, "A death-indentured slave means that their life and death are controlled by their master, and they are the master's private property."
"Even if the master kills the indentured slave at will, the government won't ask a single question."
"Simply put, no one can control your own things."
Mu Baobao and Mu Laosan understood.
"Buy a slave with a death contract!" Mu Laosan clapped his hands, "This is the best."
There are many children in the family, and the adults don't know much, so buying slaves with death indentures is the safest option.
"I have no objection to that," Old Yu said. "As long as it's something you three like and we can come to an agreement, go ahead and buy it."
These slaves are no longer human beings, but commodities.
Sang Ye glanced at the slaves who lowered their heads and said, "Those who are unwilling to sign the death contract, you can take them away. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
The old man understood the key point and waved his hand to let the servants take these people away.
Those who are unwilling to become indentured slaves, if forcibly bought, may harbor resentment towards their masters and do bad things to them.
There were exactly ten slaves left, including a steward, but no purchasing manager.
Sang Ye looked at the ten slaves and said coldly, "You just heard me. What I want are indentured slaves."
"And this death contract will never be changed in my lifetime. If you don't want to, tell me now and don't waste my time."
"I am willing!" The butler was the first to express his opinion.
Rather than leaving it here and being picked up slowly by others, it is better to be bought away early.
Most importantly, he believed in the character of the Sang family.
With the first one, there will be the second and the third...
Finally, five people were willing to sign the death contract.
The rest looked hesitant.
Sang Ye said straightforwardly, "Boss, don't take the rest. I'll pick these five."
When Old Yu heard this, he asked his servants to take the rest of the people away.
"If this young master wants all of them, I'll give you a discount."
Sang Ye waved his hand to show that there was no rush.
He first walked around the housekeeper and others a few times, and then began to ask questions.
"If I buy you, you won't follow my Sang family, but stay in a small family. You won't have to worry about food and clothing, but your life won't be as good as that of a wealthy family."
"Are you willing?"
The butler was the first to express his willingness, "It is God's blessing that I can live such a life."
After being sold, he realized that the most important thing is to live a stable life, not to be rich or work for a powerful family.
Three of the servants were willing to do so, but the remaining one was unwilling.
The remaining one seemed to think that he was willing to sign the death contract only if he could work for the Sang family.
Sang Ye didn't care either.
He asked the four servants some more questions, then turned to Mu Lao San and said, "You can buy it."
"The slaves of the Lin'an Palace have been specially trained and are much better than the slaves of ordinary families."
Mu Laosan naturally believed it.
He walked up to Lao Yu and asked with a smile, "Boss, how much are these four slaves for?"
"I'm sincere about buying, and you're sincere about selling. Why don't you name a suitable price?"
Old Yu glanced at Sang Ye before saying to Mu Lao San, "These four servants will get twenty-five taels."
"Brother, it's not that I'm selling you a high price, it's these slaves who are worth it."
"If you had come two days later, you wouldn't have seen any of the slaves sold from the Lin'an Palace."
Mu Laosan took a deep breath. Twenty-five taels...this price is too expensive.
"Fifteen taels." Sang Ye said, "I might as well tell you that the Lin'an Palace has been confiscated by the emperor."
"If you keep these slaves any longer, the price will only get lower and lower."
Old Yu was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Okay, fifteen taels is fifteen taels!"
It’s not about whether the price will go down, it’s about whether there is a good business to do.
The Lin'an Palace had just been ransacked, and many slaves were sold. This was a good opportunity to make money.
Mu Laosan spent fifteen taels to buy four skilled and capable indentured slaves.
The housekeeper can keep track of the accounts and manage the household, and is also familiar with the relationships with all the powerful people in Rongdu, etc.
The other three servants could make tea, snacks and various delicious meals, and they could also wash clothes, clean the house, make clothes, and so on.
It is quite a bargain.
Although Mu Laosan felt a little distressed, he didn't feel so distressed when he thought about the abilities of these four servants.
At least from now on, dealing with matters related to wealthy families can be handed over to the housekeeper.
"Mr. Sang, should we buy a few more slaves?"
Sang Ye thought for a moment and said, "I won't buy it for now."
"Don't you have a few servants at home? They'll be enough for us."
"I'll see if there are any good servants later."
"The Lin'an Palace has just been ransacked, and this place will be in chaos in no time."
Whenever a large family was raided, slaves would be sold here, and some masters would also be sold here.
In this case, it will be a mess here.
The housekeeper felt a little emotional after hearing this and sighed repeatedly in his heart. Before the princess fell ill, such a thing would never have happened.
But ever since the princess fell ill, the Lin'an Palace has been in chaos, and the prince and the princess's sister no longer have any scruples and are together openly.
"Then let's hurry up..." Before Mu Laosan finished his words, he heard a noisy sound coming from not far away.
