A few guards immediately moved, directing the women present to line up and walk out. The corners of the eunuchs 'mouths twitched. Didn't they say that they wouldn't lose a penny? 300 taels. This price was already very low. If they were sold to a brothel, these 40 women could be sold for at least 1,000 taels. However, Li Yin only gave them 150 taels! This was no longer a tear-shedding sale, but a blood-spitting sale!
However, they did not dare to say anything. Although they were also officials, they were eunuchs first and foremost, servants of the royal family!
At this moment, a guard whispered a few words to Li Yin.
When Li Yin heard this, he was instantly furious. He sneered at the eunuchs of the Education Department and said,"Heh, sure. Do you remember what I said when I came in? I seem to be asking you to bring out all the beautiful women here. How dare you hide it from me! I'll give you fifteen minutes. If I don't see the rest, you can wait to guard the ancestral tomb!”
The expressions of the eunuchs changed. In every dynasty, the royal family had an ancestral tomb. Although the Li family had just been established, it was necessary to have an ancestral tomb. Anyone who went to guard the ancestral tomb would be banished. If there were no accidents, they would never be able to leave the ancestral tomb. It could not compare to the current situation. Even some officials had to curry favor with them for certain matters.
The eunuchs immediately knelt down and begged,""Spare me, Your Highness! It's not that we're deliberately hiding it, but those women who haven't been called out are the family members of officials who have committed minor crimes. There's a possibility that they'll be reinstated in the future. Once they're reinstated, they'll definitely come to the Education Bureau to redeem their families.”
After receiving Li Yin's instructions, Ma Zhao shouted from the side,""Cut the crap. Who do you think the Prince of Liang is? Would he abuse the families of those criminals? It's their blessing that my young master can buy them. It's much better than staying in your Education Bureau! Hurry up and bring her out!"
The eunuchs looked at each other. No one dared to offend this lord in front of them now. As people of the palace, they knew how highly regarded this Prince of Liang had been recently. At the age of eleven, he had been granted an official position. Although it was only a small official, this was definitely the first in the Great Tang.
"Alright, Your Highness, please wait a moment. We'll go and bring everyone to Your Highness now.”
After about an hour, people were brought in one after another. In the end, because there were too many people, the house could not hold them all.
Li counted roughly, there were at least 100 people.
That was right. These hundred plus people should have accumulated for several years before accumulating so many. The previous forty plus people did not have any background. The ones who committed crimes in their families were either killed or had no hope of being revived. They would be dealt with in a short period of time. It was already quite a lot to have more than forty people.
In comparison, these hundred people looked much better than the previous forty or so people, and their quality was also higher.
"Ma Zhao, pay up!" Li waved his hand.”
When the eunuchs heard this, they were done. They were here again!
As expected, Ma Zhao took out another 100 taels from his bag. This time, the number of people was almost three times that of before, but the money was 50 taels less than before!
These women didn't know what was going on. Some of them cried and didn't want to go with Li, but under the coercion of Ma Zhao and a few guards, they were still taken away from the Education Bureau.
On the way back, there were nearly 200 women, attracting the attention of passers-by. Li Yin decisively kept his distance from them and pretended that they were not on the same side!
After returning home, Xiang 'er was shocked. Li asked Xiang' er to count. There were a total of 173 people. Good heavens, Li Yin was shocked when he knew this number. If he set up a brothel with so many high-quality beauties, wouldn't he earn a lot of money every day?
However, what Li Yin didn't worry about the most was the number of people. The entertainment city needed at least 20 to 30 people, and the new amusement park needed at least 30 to 40 people. He could also find a few good needlework so that he would not have to look for tailors outside in the future. Such a big house, Xiang 'er couldn't clean it all by herself, and now there was Sergei to take care of, so she had to have eight or ten hardworking people.
Liu Yue and Du Shiniang also needed a few helpers. They also needed to find some who were educated and could read and train them. Perhaps he could be independent in the future.
Li Yin had someone call Liu Yue and Du Shiniang back, then gathered all the women in the courtyard.
Unlike Xiang 'er, Liu Yue and Du Shiniang could guess their origins the moment they saw these people. In Chang 'an, the only place that could buy so many women at once was the brothel. They were from a brothel, and it was obvious at a glance that these women did not come from a brothel.
Previously, Xiang 'er had been worried that Li Yin would starve the family if he bought so many people. However, they were not worried. Instead, they were very happy. Recently, they had been too short of people and could not keep up. Compared to the money earned by the entertainment city, these people's food and drinks were only worth a few bucks!
More than a hundred women from the Education Bureau looked nervously at Li Yin. Li Yin was now the person who decided their fate.
Li Yin didn't say anything. Finally, a woman couldn't help but say to Li Yin,""Let me tell you, my husband is a fifth-grade official. He was wronged and will be reinstated sooner or later. You'd better…"
"Ma Zhao! Sell her and her family to a brothel!”Li Yin said coldly.
"You dare, you…Ah! Don't touch me, my husband is a fifth-grade official…"
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Ma Zhao slapped her a few times, directly causing her face to swell. Then, he called another guard and dragged another woman away. These two women were the wives and concubines of a fifth-grade official.
After Ma Zhao left with the two women, Li Yin said coldly,""I think some people still don't understand their situation. Anyone else who wants to be sold to a brothel, just step forward!”
Hearing the howls of the two women being taken away and Li Yin's threatening words, the group of women were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound. A few younger girls could not withstand this pressure and were scared to tears.
Li Yin's tone softened and he said,""Stop crying for a while. Wait for me to finish speaking before you continue! Let me introduce myself first. This king is the King of Liang, Li Yin. The place where you are now is my residence. Those who know me know that I'm very easy to talk to when I'm in a good mood, so I hope you won't make my mood worse. Those who have read, can recognize more than 1,000 words, and can write more than 500 words, stand to the left. Also, those who are not married, stand to the right.”
After Li Yin finished speaking, people walked out from the crowd and stood on the left and right.
