Qi Xi was also bored or idle enough, so he accidentally learned that a nobleman came to purchase slaves and came to preside over it in person.

He is still a prince with a heart for the king, and he knows very well that such a large number of slaves have not been sold, and the king's small coffers are consumed every day.

The point is, no one really buys it!

The fact that it can't be sold is not simply because of the news blockage, but mainly because of some of the actions of Jin Jinggong, which caused the big nobles to have a gap in their hearts, and they wanted to give the monarch a little bit of color to take a look, so they made it look like this.

will come in person, in addition to being bored and idle, but also because Qi Xi learned that Lu Wu, who came to buy slaves, was very young, and the warriors he carried were a little extraordinary.

In these years, extraordinary samurai can be attached, either by great nobles, or by showing convincing wisdom.

No matter which one it is, Qi Xi is idle anyway, and it's good to find something to do.

After he arrived, he confirmed that the warrior must have come from the Wei clan, and judged that Lü Wu had a very good relationship with the Wei clan.

The monarch was always looking for opportunities to improve relations with the nobility, and Wei was one of the goals of the monarch's efforts.

The princes of the Jin Kingdom also hoped to get more support from the nobles, so that more clansmen with the blood of the clans could obtain positions.

Qi Xi talked with Lu Wu, forming a preliminary impression.

He thought that the little fellow was a bold man, and that the style of his speech was interesting, and he began to think that this contact might become an interesting thing.

If Lu Wu really develops one day, today's meeting between Qi Xi and Lu Wu will become a beautiful conversation and elegant event.

And Yashi, the Spring and Autumn aristocracy eats this set very much.

How did Lu Wu know that Qi Xi would have so many things in his mind, and he was trying his best to bargain.

Qi Xi said: "If you respond, you can also." ”

Lu Wu blinked, waiting for a question.

Qi Xi asked, "Wei, why did you give Shi Yuer?" ”

Lu Wu replied with a smile: "I am similar to Xiangzi, and we have a very pleasant conversation. Sympathize with the boy, give the opportunity to serve. ”

Qi Xi glanced at Lu Wu in surprise.

He had seen Wei Xiang several times, and knew that Wei Xiang was a very smart young man, and he also knew that Wei Xiang had been vigorously cultivated by the Wei family.

The son of a great nobleman with a reputation for wisdom can have a good conversation with a small nobleman in the wilderness, and what kind of cooperation has been determined?

It's like a modern Principal Wang met a passer-by on the street, and the two became close friends after talking, and they were willing to lead passers-by to play and make a fortune together.

It's an incredible thing.

Qi Xi glanced at Lu Wu a few more times with a smile, walked over and talked with the slave overseer named Yuan for a while, no longer turned back to look for Lu Wu, and left leisurely.

Lu Wu looked at Qi Xi's departing back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Talking to the nobles of this era, especially the big nobles, was really too tiring for Lu Wu.

Not only do you need to maintain the demeanor of a nobleman, but you also have to speak carefully.

In order to bargain, he was still guiding the topic, finding out that Qi Xi was at least not an enemy with the Wei family, and guiding Qi Xi to ask about his relationship with the Wei family, so that he could finally pull out the tiger skin of the Wei family and use it.

And it's clear that Wei's tiger skin really works.

Yuan came with a slightly hunched body, and he said: "Wuzi buys thirty male subordinates, and you can buy one more female subordinates." Would you like to do so? ”

From Yuan's demeanor and words, Lu Wu concluded that there was room for further bargaining.

He was silent for a moment, chose not to bargain, and neatly agreed to the original suggestion.

It was a bit of an accident, he originally thought that Lu Wu would rely on his boss to explain and reduce the price as much as possible and purchase as many female slaves as possible, but he didn't expect Lu Wu to be so neat, and he was stunned for a while.

A tiger skin is a tiger skin after all, not a shield.

Lu Wu didn't want Qi Xi to meet and talk with the Wei clansmen one day, and talked about today's events, but he did too much and caused the Wei family to dislike it, and even went too far and became disgusted.

There is another one, Lu Wu still hopes to leave a good enough impression on Qi Xi.

After all, Huo Cheng is the only big city around Lao Lu's house.

This is still an important military town, and Qi Xi is the current top leader.

Before, the old Lu family was notified that Qin Guo and Bai Di had moved, and God knows if they would enter the territory of Jin State.

Lao Lu's family is in this area that will become a battlefield at any time, leaving a good impression on the local top military commander, even if he can't get benefits, he shouldn't leave a bad impression.

Lü Wu began to select slaves.

One after another, there were twenty to thirty slaves in each of them, all bound hand in hand.

Fifteen people in the subordinate house will look crowded, and twenty or thirty people are crowded together at once, and there is no room for movement, just crowded and sitting on the ground.

Lu Wu didn't see anyone buying, he first visited Yuan, and treated Yuan with a polite attitude in the process.

Officials are generally aristocrats, and they don't have the status of nobles, at least they must be descendants of nobles, or they don't want to get mixed up in a position at all in this era.

Yuan didn't introduce his own clan, obviously a dilapidated nobleman who lost his territory, and temporarily relied on the bloodline given by his ancestors to eat.

Such people actually care a lot about whether they are respected enough.

Lu Wu originally wanted to stuff the red envelope ......, cough cough, it was to give benefits, but he didn't know how to give the red envelope this year.

If you don't give benefits in the right way, you can easily become enemies.

Yuan didn't wait for Lu Wu to think clearly, ordered someone to bring two large boxes, and tried his best to rummage through the bamboo slips, picking them one by one.

"Wuzi, why don't you buy more?" Yuan said very conscientiously: "Lian Ye, as soon as possible." ”

The purchase quantity proposed by Lü Wu was only three hundred, which was equivalent to the share of ten female slaves purchased.

He felt that it was already a very risky act to buy three hundred, if it were not really too desperate for female slaves, and he was even willing to purchase only one hundred to one hundred and fifty male slaves.

The slaves of Huocheng are really cheap.

If you pay a shovel coin, you can buy a male slave with one shovel coin.

One piece of cloth buys twelve male slaves.

Grain can be exchanged for a male slave with a bucket.

The value of cloth and grain is not constant, and it is necessary to look at where it is and what it was like back then.

Lü Wu brought two boxes of currency, each with a thousand shovel coins.

The money was part of the Liang family's return gift, and the dividends of the catering industry on Wei's side were not sent for the time being.

"Three hundred, that's enough." Lu Wucai would not say that he would buy 300 male slaves at once, plus the nearly 1,500 slaves that the old Lu family already had, he was afraid that the slave rebellion would directly destroy the old Lu family. He shook his head and said, "If you need to, come again." ”

The regret on the original face.

He is very different from what a seller should be, helping Lu Wu to select all healthy slaves, and at the same time, in terms of age, he also tries to pick the most powerful stage, and tries to choose the docile ones according to his impression.

After some selection, among the three hundred slaves, the Qin people accounted for two hundred and fifty, and the rest were Di people who were good at herding.

If you choose a slave, it doesn't mean that you can take it away.

The slave had already been blackened, that is, burned red on the face, to confirm whose property the slave belonged to.

Since they have been blackened before, they need to blur the previous words first, and then brand the new owner's mark ......, that is, brand the word "Lu" on their faces.

The purpose of the black mask is to confirm whose property it belongs to, and it is also to make it impossible for slaves to have a good life even if they escape.

If the nobles find a black-faced person who is moving freely, they will definitely catch it as soon as possible, kill it or give it to the original owner, depending on the mood.

They are not showing any kindness, they are purely upholding the rules of society and their own interests.

Lu Wu looked at it for a while, his nose was full of the smell of meat, and he found Yuan, saying that he would accept the female slave first.

At the same time, he had to send Qing back to Lao Lu's house with his tokens, inform Lao Zhuo of the situation here, and ask Lao Zhuo to make all preparations, and then let Qing bring twenty armed subjects over.

Lu Wu had already thought about using this group of slaves, provided that they were obedient. He thought, "I've got to find a way to stabilize them......"
