During this time, even though the city of Phoenix was the capital of Nanyue state, but the price of the land was not too expensive, after all here the house in use for living, not to invest.
Lexie saw some of the houses on offer, it was all a beautiful house and it was not expensive, the highest price was only 1000 silver. This is also what makes Lexie who comes from modern times stunned, in this capital city, can buy a house at a price so cheap, he said, can this be said to be more advanced in ancient times than in modern times?
In addition, here is a great distinction of class status, the upper class are all officials, the middle class are business people, the lower are farmers, so if you try to enter officials through the test, then the middle class is a business class, then it will look down on the businessmen, if you become an official, even if you are rich enemy countries, then it is meaningless in the eyes of the officials.
Lexie sighed, since she was a woman past the times, there was no way she could be an official, but she was willing to try to make money from doing business, maybe this was because her soul came from the modern era, he said, so he thinks money is the best and most reliable thing in the world.
When the sun was about to set, Lexie finally chose a house that was not large and not small, the house had only a few rooms, but was large enough for Lexie and Lucas, respectively, the rest of the rooms he could still hire some workers to help.
The owner of the house seemed to have just left the capital, so the objects inside were still complete, both of them settled in the house for one night, then the next morning they went to buy various home appliances.
Watching the worker put the appliances one by one into the house, Lexie who was standing under the balcony involuntarily pinched her own face, very sick, this was not a dream.
Lexie has completely left Victor's residence, and is also able to live a quiet life with Lucas.
Lucas is also very happy, every heart accompanies Lexie to buy various items in the city, after spending five days, he finally managed to tidy up the house like what he wanted.
Early this morning, there was an aunt who had brought some teenage girls to her house, two days ago Lexie was looking for someone and said that she wanted to recruit workers, unexpectedly only 2 days, this aunt had already found so many people.
In front of him stood about 7 to 8 young girls, Lexie slightly frowned, then asked everyone to make a brief self-introduction, listening to the self-introduction of some people, her eyebrows furrowed deeper.
It turned out that these girls all came from villages near the outskirts of the city, many of them because of the many siblings in the family and also their difficult lives, so their families sold them out, he said, especially the little girl who stood in the corner, so skinny as not to wear footwear, wore thin cotton clothes in winter like this, when the wind blew all over her body trembling.
Lexie sighed, pointing at the little girl, "Leave her, I'll give 1 silver to the rest of the others and be able to leave."
Choosing a worker is not doing a good thing, Lexie is not a saint, she naturally knows she has to find a healthy and effective worker, but if you see the girl shaking with the cold left with a disappointed look, Lexie also did not have the heart.
"Did the lady really want to vote for him?" The aunt was surprised for so long to react.
Lexie nodded, took out the silver from under her sleeves and put it in everyone's hands, 1 silver for a family like them this was not a small number, either, it was enough for them to buy food for half a month, so their faces gave off a face that was hard to believe, then they were disappointed. Too bad they can't work for this generous employer.
"By taking it I can only find people to treat it, of course it's a good thing if he can still survive, if it can't then it's his fate." Lexie sighed and hurriedly said to the aunt, "Thank you for your goodwill, I want it."
The aunt had only first met an employer who had this kind of person, at first she had thought this girl did not understand how to pick people, heard her say that, at first, the look on the aunt's face was a little amazed, "Miss is really a good person, aunty hopes that miss will get a good reply."
Lexie answered him with disdain, after the aunt left with the rest of the people, Lexie then called the little girl to come forward before him, the little girl fearfully immediately kneeled to Lexie.
"Wake up to speak, in my house later on you must not kneel." Lexie let out a long sigh, back then when he was in the general's house or in Victor's residence, he couldn't make his own decisions towards actions that treated people as slaves, he said, Lexie can't control it and can't accept it, but she can't change it.
Today, despite being just a small house, Lexie wants to keep what she wants to keep, she must make herself remember that she is an intellectual who comes from the modern era, even if it was in a feudal society, her thoughts and ideas would be different from the rest, but Lexie wanted her to remember her early self, Lexie was afraid, afraid if she lived here for a long time, then he will forget that his existence is no lower than anyone here.
The little girl looked up strangely after listening to Lexie's words, but she remained standing obediently.
"Do you have a name?" Ask Lexie.
The little girl nodded and said: "Ernie." His voice is so childish.
Lexie reached out and touched her head, "Ernie, you'll work for later in the day, I'll give you a monthly wage, if you want to go one heart later, then tell me beforehand, I'll give you a monthly wage, that's enough."
"Work reward?" Ernie widened her eyes, "Aren't I sold to miss?"
Lexie smiled and shook her head, "I don't buy slaves, I only hire workers." Lexie said as she tore up the slave self-selling paper in her hands before the two of them.
Ernie was stunned to the point of not being able to speak, after a while, she suddenly shed tears but still remained speechless, only kneeling in front of Lexie and worshipping him a few times.
Lexie sighed again, the people in this society, today, if there's anything always kneeling, this kind of thing Lexie still can't accept, "What, what, if anything's always on her knees, you just forgot what I just said? Then the heart can be carelessly kneeling to others."
Ernie rushed to wipe away her tears, then immediately stood up, "Yes, what the lady said is true."
Lexie then shook her head, to ordinary people who had been completely enslaved by feudal thinking, what Lexie could do was too little, perhaps, in their eyes its existence was like a different kind. Lexie doesn't expect Ernie to understand her thoughts, Lexie just tries her best not to do things that go against her heart.
