Chapter 138: The Perished Sun Kingdom!
Chapter 138: The Perished Sun Kingdom!
The Izumo caravan brought a large number of slaves, and the entire caravan was so large in size and numbers that it easily caught the attention of Heeto.
Yao Yunzheng was worried about the lack of manpower in Xidu, and when he saw the timely rain, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately sent Hu Yi out to buy slaves, and he ate them all as many slaves as he could.
Human trafficking is an inhumane thing, but Yao Yun has no psychological barriers, his purchase of slaves is different from the exploitation of the Zhuxia nobles, his purpose is to help slaves get rid of slavery and live a normal life.
Maybe Yao Yun can't change everyone and the world, but he can try his best to change the people and things around him, for example, in the past few months, seventy or eighty slaves in Xidu have been promoted to commoners and mastered survival skills.
As long as more and more slaves are promoted to commoners, then one day it will be infinitely inclined to success.
This is Yao Yun's attitude towards doing things, the goal can be grand and lofty, but the work must be down-to-earth.
After ordering Hu Yi to buy slaves, Yao Yun went to find the second elder Wu Tong and the bald dragon.
Wu Tong said: "King, our Xidu's snowflake salt is really famous in the imperial capital, hahaha, it is said that countless caravans have run south, and they are asking for snowflake salt. ”
Yao Yun laughed and waved his hand: "It is reasonable, in the future, snowflake essence salt will be a tribute to the Son of Heaven, and it is normal for nobles to compete for it." ”
The bald dragon opened his mouth and poured a basin of cold water: "Shizi, don't be too happy, Ben Long used a little means, and the merchant department found out that many caravans from the north were blocked back by the vassal states in the south, and the caravans in the north spent a high price to buy snowflake essence salt in the vassal states such as Izumo and Qian Kingdom, and they didn't come to our Xidu at all, damn it, they are sucking our blood!"
The bald dragon installed a false horn, a single horn to the sky, which looked nondescript, but it did not affect the bald dragon to feel good about himself, and the whole person was full of anger and domineering.
Yao Yun frowned slightly when he heard the news.
Wu Tong also shook his head again and again: "If the caravans in other places are jointly intercepted by the southern vassal states, and when the time comes, they will jointly manipulate the price of snowflake essence salt, we are really a little passive......
The bald dragon sneered: "No, maybe we won't make as much gold as others by then!"
Wu Tong turned his head to look at Yao Yun, and said that the king was silent, so he asked, "King, what do you think?"
Yao Yun pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a normal situation, it is normal for merchants to pursue profits, and it is normal for the vassal states to jointly crowd out other caravans, and doing business pays attention to win-win, we earn, others also have to earn, eating alone is not a long-term way." ”
Wu Tong looked at the king in surprise, he thought that the young and vigorous king would be angry when he heard the news, but he never expected that his own king would be so indifferent, and even considered it from the position of the caravan, which was too stable and old.
The bald dragon was not so subtle, and said to Yao Yun in surprise: "Shizi, you are not evil, do you still approve of their approach? They are cutting off our financial route!"
Yao Yun smiled bitterly: "Lone is not in favor, this matter is bound to happen, we have no channels to sell snowflake refined salt, we can only rely on them, this situation is extremely avoidable." ”
When Wu Tong heard this, his old eyes were full of approval, and with some expectation, he asked, "King, how do you deal with this matter?"
Yao Yun thought for a while and said: "Snowflake refined salt is always in our hands, whether to sell it or not, we have the final say on how much to sell it, we are invincible on this point alone, not to mention that the vassal states can't stop all the caravans, there will always be caravans that will arrive in Xidu, they can't cover the sky with one hand, so we don't need to bother!"
The bald man touched his head, as if he felt that there was some truth.
Wu Tong was already smiling at this time, but he was also puzzled in his heart.
He also realized the key after some thinking, relying on his rich experience, but what about his own young king, is this the natural god in the ancient books? !
Wu Tong was relieved in his heart, but he was faintly worried, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, and it was naturally a good thing that the king suddenly opened his mind, but it was also easy to develop an arrogant temperament.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong said: "That's right, we are mediocre people who disturb ourselves, the king, the old man heard that there are a lot of slaves in the caravan from other places, and the old man knows a little bit of the art of touching the bones and observing people, and he is just selecting good talents for the king." ”
When the bald dragon saw Wu Tong giving him a look, he immediately understood, and immediately echoed: "Shizi, what Wu Lao Er said is right, he looks at people very well, he touches his hands, and when he sees them, the slave is seen through by him, this is a university question, extremely profound, very amazing, with him, I am sure to buy slaves without suffering!"
When Yao Yun heard this, he was also interested, he had mastered the magic power of discerning people, and he was also good at this, but he didn't know if the second elder Wu Tong's methods were so magical.
"That lonely should have a good look, it just so happens that the slave is still in the hands of the Izumo caravan, let's go and see it together!"
Soon the group came to the bazaar and found the large courtyard where the Izumo caravan was temporarily staying, and there was also a Xidu armor at the gate of the courtyard, and it was obvious that Huyi was inside.
"King!" "See King Xi!"
Brother Dao of the Izumo caravan was quite surprised to see Yao Yun, but he still saluted respectfully and clarified his identity.
"The person who comes is a guest, no need to be polite, Izumo Country is a southern barbarian powerhouse, Lone has heard of it for a long time, and today I saw the sword leader to know that the rumors are true!"
Brother Dao was very flattered, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to be ashamed of Yunyun.
"King Xi, the slave people you want have been brought to you, please take a look. After saying that, Brother Dao led Yao Yun into a courtyard with a large open space next to it, the courtyard was surrounded by a low fence, guarded by a few warriors with bronze weapons, and a group of ragged slaves stood in the center of the clearing.
"King Xi, you see, they are all young slaves, and there are no old or young women or children. ”
"The knife leader has a heart, and he is very grateful, hey, where did these slaves come from, it seems to be different. ”
"Hehe, don't dare, don't dare, king, these people are prisoners of war of Sun Guo. ”
Wu Tong opened his mouth at this time: "But Sun Guo, who destroyed the country not long ago!"
When Brother Dao saw a witch Zhu questioning, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said respectfully: "Hui Venerable's words are exact!"
"Oh~"
Yao Yun has also heard that Sun is a small vassal state in the Southern Wilderness, far away from Xidu, Xi Guo does not communicate much with him, and it perished not long ago, and the specific reason for its demise is unknown, but I heard that several vassal states took advantage of the fire to rob and completely annexed Sun State.
"Brother Dao, how much are these slaves, I bought them alone!"
