Chapter 283: The Human Market
The Uighurs since the Tang Dynasty were also one of the later Semu people.
He was a big merchant on the grassland, who traveled back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains to do trade.
In the city of Helindu, whether it is back to the urban area or the urban area of the Han people, the Odu Raheman has a great trade priority.
Recently, as Ogedai was seriously ill and could not go to court, Odurahman and Famati, a close minister of Naima Zhenhou, became closer and closer.
Especially today Famati took him into the Wan'an Palace and saw the most powerful woman in the palace now, Tregona. After Naima Zhen, Oduraka, who was not in a good mood, returned to his residence, and was about to summon a few female slaves to vent **, but he was in a bad mood by his subordinates.
"Master, master, no, there's a fight there!"
"Bastard thing, where is the fight? Make it clear! ”
The pleasant mood was disturbed, and the rich Odurahe kicked the servant who told the news to the ground, and then shouted angrily.
"Master, master, stop fighting, it's a mess in the human market. The sheriff has brought the troops over, so go and see it, sir! ”
"Well, what's going on? Make it clear and stop talking that useless nonsense! ”
disturbed the master's interest, and after seeing the female slaves who were waiting for the Odu Raheman go out in turn, the subordinate who came to report the news hurriedly crawled in front of his master and said aggrievedly: "Master, it's not the trouble caused by the Yelu family. You know, sir, that their poor ghosts buy ten slave girls every year.
The price is not only low, but the time is delayed. This time, a caravan came to the human market, led by Tuoba Han, a Western Xia man. Quite financial. They happened to take a fancy to the goods of the Yelu family. The two parties compete for the goods.
financially. The Yelu family couldn't compare to others and wanted to rob it, but the two of them didn't agree, so they started to do it. ”
As the family said, when Oduraheman rushed to the Ximen City, the market was already in chaos. The guards who arrived in a hurry, the slaves in shackles, and the slave owners who watched the excitement also shouted and added to the chaos.
In the midst of the storm, the butler of Prime Minister Yelu's house had red cheeks. At a glance, Oduraheman could see that he had been slapped into this appearance.
Yelu Chucai, the talented son of the Liao State back then, and the current Mongolian prime minister, is a thorn in the eye of Odu Raheman and others.
Now seeing that the Yelu family was embarrassed in the human market, the good mood that had been interrupted just now was happy again, and he came to the sheriff in a pretended manner, and asked with a shelf, "What's the matter?" ”
"Tell your lord, it is the foreign merchants and the steward of the prime minister's family who caused trouble, and it is all the foreign merchants who are unreasonable. The ten female slaves were originally ordered by the prime minister's family last year, and the housekeeper came to pick up the goods on time. But the store said that it was in breach of contract and wanted to sell it to foreign merchants at a high price. Please also ask your adult to decide. ”
Yelu Chucai, who is the prime minister of Mongolia, but is kind, approachable, honest and fair, and erudite, but a rare capable minister, deeply loved by the people of all ethnic groups.
Although the magistrate is a Mongol, there are also hierarchies within the Mongols, especially those who are ordinary pariahs like them and have climbed up through military exploits, and they respect Yelu Chucai as a good prime minister who loves the people.
However, telling the truth like this made Oduraka very unhappy to hear it.
Glancing at the blonde Tuoba Han, Aodu Rahe, who was also a color-eyed person, said quite kindly: "This is Brother Tuoba, brother, I am in charge of affairs here, what is going on with you?" ”
Aodu Raheman watched himself speak with a smile on his face, and Tuoba Han knew that the other party was giving him a chance to justify, so he pretended to point to Zalandin beside him, and said indignantly: "My lord, it is Tuoba Han down here, who was once a native of Western Xia. We came from the Western Regions, originally to admire and Lin Chengcai to come all the way to lead the camel.
I didn't expect that their Yelu family was so majestic that they would despise our brother as a lost dog, and even laughed at our brother's hair and pupils, saying that we were demons and monsters, and asked us to go back to the Western Regions.
We can't get angry, they want to buy those slave girls, and I don't want them to do it. If they pay twice the price, we will pay twice as much. Buying and selling goods, the one with the highest price gets it, and the poor ghost who has no money should not come out and be embarrassed. ”
Tuoba Han opened his eyes and said nonsense, how could he have said those words before, the steward of the Yelu family saw that Aoduraheman's face was getting darker and darker, and hurriedly defended: "Nonsense, nonsense, how can I say that, my lord, you must ......."
Aodu Raheman himself is also a lustful person, and his hair color and pupil color are very different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains, and he is very mindful of these words that discriminate against him on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, he was scolded as a demon and monster in front of him today, Aodu Rahe's eyes widened, and his momentum was violent, like an enraged lion, and he scolded the steward of the Yelu family angrily: "Yelu Chucai, good, very good." Even a subordinate dares to fight against others, and you are too much to bully people. Get out, get out of my market. ”
The steward of the house of Jerod could not finish his words, and was driven out of the market by Odurah, and he could only sigh and leave in despair with his servant.
Seeing that Odu Raheman waved his hand away from the sheriff, Tuoba Han took Zalandin and ran to Odu Raheman enthusiastically, and respectfully thanked: "Thank you so much for your fair disposition, my brother and I really can't repay it. I heard that these ten female slaves are all Jurchen remnants, but they are in demand on the grassland, if the adults don't dislike them, please laugh at them! ”
"Brother is gracious, ten slave girls, you bought it, it's your thing. We and Lincheng are rich in products, how many female slaves there are, the old man is never lacking, I am in charge here, the whole market is the old man's, how can I be greedy for your things. ”
The big merchant Aodu Raheman had a large number of trade transactions in the Ximen Ren Market, the South Gate Sheep Market, the North Gate Horse Market, and the East Gate Car Market, and he was not short of money, and he had seven or eight thousand female slaves alone.
The female slaves of the ten Jurchen clans, the high-eyed Oduraheman, did not look at it very much, and roughly glanced at a group of goods that were dressed cleanly, and said indifferently.
"How can this be done, my lordship, how can I treat it as if I didn't see it. Allah teaches us that we should do our best to repay the kindness of others, even if it is as small as dust.
My lord, there are dozens of people in our brother caravan, and we have always been kind to repay our kindness, and this time we came from the Western Regions, and when we met such a good person as my lord, we would repay our kindness in saying everything, even if we did our best, we would not hesitate to do it. ”
When the big businessman Odu Raheman heard the other party call Allah, he knew that Tuoba Han and the others were actually Catholics, and his eyes first lit up in surprise, and then said tentatively: "Are you really willing to do anything?" ”
"What adults are trending, we are duty-bound!"
"Okay, look at your hands and feet, you are all good sons on the grassland, and your martial arts must be not bad. Recently, there is a group of rogues outside the city that are very annoying, you can help the old man get rid of them! (To be continued.) )
