The place where slaves are bought and sold is next to the livestock market, and it stinks, and as soon as Lu Ting arrived, he couldn't help but cover his nose.

In the eyes of the superiors, slaves are not regarded as human beings at all, they are similar to livestock, and the human market is directly with the livestock market.

As soon as I entered the market, I saw that there were a lot of small stages like booths, and those slaves stood on them like goods for people to choose, men, women and children, and those beautiful female slaves were deliberately dressed up, even in the cold winter, and their clothes were still a little revealing.

The north wind is blowing outside, but the city is crowded with people, and there are all kinds of people:

Some pinched the slaves' teeth and inspected their health;

Someone punched the slave a few times to see if they were really strong;

Someone listened carefully to the maid girl playing the instrument, and it was clear that she was a rhyme slave who was proficient in music;

Some people unscrupulously reached into the arms of the slave girl to take advantage, and the seller had no opinion, and he was still talking about something on the side, some slaves were disobedient or made the owner of the slave unhappy, and he took a leather whip to train in public, and beat the slave to his knees and beg for mercy, Lu Ting didn't feel anything, and Fuzhi on the side was frightened when he saw it, and subconsciously followed Lu Ting, as if he was afraid that he would be caught and sold by accident.

In the human market, you can also see Silla maids, Kunlun slaves, orchids, etc., there are individual slaves, and there are also sisters and mothers and daughters, brothers, and even a large family packaged and sold.

Lu Ting saw that most of those slaves were thin and blind, like a walking corpse, no matter where they were sold or who they were sold to, they would be slaves to be slaughtered all their lives, and there was no hope in this life.

"Childe, do you want to add a mouth, there are all kinds of people here."

"The Silla maid who just arrived is well-behaved, obedient, and can also sleep in bed, ensuring that the son is satisfied."

"There are well-trained servants here, who can lift a stone lock of one hundred and twenty catties, and who can be able to take care of the family and nursing home, son."

"Jiangnan Xiaomei, only twelve years old, is still a virgin, do you want to inspect the goods."

"Childe, do you want to lead the way, the little one knows everything about this place, and he will definitely be able to pick it for Childe"

As soon as I entered the human market, a group of people soon surrounded me and introduced them in a gossipy manner.

Like Lu Ting, who was dressed brightly and took his subordinates to visit the market, he knew at a glance that he was a potential buyer, and those who were soliciting customers ran the street and the brokers surrounded him at once.

Lu Ting hurriedly said: "Borrowing the road, it has been booked." ”

In order to persuade Lu Ting to buy slaves, Changsun Chong, Cheng Chuliang and others introduced that it is normal for wealthy families like them to buy and sell slaves, and they have their own channels.

Hearing that Lu Ting had already booked, those street runners and brokers quickly dispersed, and there were so many people coming and going, this didn't work, so change the target immediately.

Lu Ting walked around the city for a while, and soon stopped at a shop called Luoren.

As soon as he stopped at the door, a shopkeeper-like person saw Lu Ting and immediately greeted him: "Early in the morning, my left eyelid jumped straight, and I knew that there was something good. ”

Lu Ting was a little surprised and said, "Shopkeeper, do you know me?" ”

"Hehe, Lu Gongzi is the first genius in the Tang Dynasty, as soon as the flower-appreciating poems come out, no one in Chang'an is outstanding, Xiao Lao went to Pingkangfang to enjoy the lanterns that night, and I was fortunate to witness Lu Gongzi's demeanor."

I didn't expect that there were people in the city who knew him, Lu Ting smiled and arched his hand and said: "The shopkeeper is killed, I heard the eldest grandson say that Luorenpu has a good reputation, so I came to take a turn, by the way, I haven't asked the shopkeeper about his name." ”

When he spoke, Lu Ting brought out the eldest grandson Chong without a trace, there is no need to use it in vain, who said that he doesn't have much money now.

Even if there is no discount on the price, at least let him be afraid and dare not fool himself with shoddy.

The shopkeeper hurriedly returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "I can't help but respect, the surname is Li, and the single name is a whole word." ”

Li is the national surname of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Quan can't keep a low profile if he wants to.

After speaking, the shopkeeper Li took the initiative to say: "It turns out that Lu Gongzi is still a friend of the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson recommended the shop to Lu Gongzi, which is a love for the shop, Lu Gongzi can rest assured, as long as the little old man can help, he must do his best, I don't know if Lu Gongzi is in the market, do you plan to sell people or add mouths?" ”

Like buying and selling slaves, this kind of lucrative business, no one can back the mountain, the behind-the-scenes owner of Luorenpu is a cousin of the eldest grandson Wuji, thanks to the care of the eldest grandson Wuji on weekdays, the eldest grandson Chong is the next head of the eldest grandson's family, this face must be given.

"Add your mouth," Lu Ting said simply and directly.

It's better to just buy a few slaves, and it's not a big deal, it's better to be straightforward.

Shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "Master Lu, what do you want?" ”

"A housekeeper, a cook, a maidservant... Two of them. "Lu Ting thought about it before he came.

There will be more and more things in the future, this year is a very important year, Lu Ting not only has to strengthen himself, but also actively participate in the struggle between Li Er and Li Jiancheng, earn more from the dragon, need a person to help him deal with all kinds of chores, it is very important to have a housekeeper, needless to say, the cook is not the material for cooking at all, tired for a day, going home to eat delicious meals can make people feel happy, as for the maidservant, one takes care of himself, and the other takes care of Chilian Niangzi and his wife.

Originally, I wanted to buy a few slaves, but unfortunately I didn't have much money, and I had to leave a little expense, so let's do it first.

Shopkeeper Li said hello when he heard this, and quickly asked again: "Master Lu, do you choose a person or an acquaintance?" ”

Stranger? Acquaintance? What do you mean?

Seeing that Lu Ting was a little puzzled, Shopkeeper Li saw at a glance that Lu Ting had no experience in buying and selling slaves, and took the initiative to explain: "A born person is a slave who has not been trained, and the price is cheaper, but after buying it back, it needs to be trained, and acquaintances are trained and know the rules, and they can be used as soon as they buy it." ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Li added in a low voice: "Childe can buy an experienced housekeeper, and after buying the person back, just hand the person over to him for training." ”

Lu Ting inquired about the price difference between the raw and the acquaintance, and when he knew that the difference was only a few dollars, he quickly said, "Buy all the acquaintances." ”

Buy a better one, one step, a few four people, there is no need to save that little money.

Shopkeeper Li nodded, asked Lu Ting to sit down with some self-reproach, and asked people to serve refreshments, and then ordered his subordinates to take people.

Just now, I only cared about polite words, and I forgot to ask Lu Ting to sit down.

Soon, an old man about fifty years old with gray hair was brought in, and according to the request of Shopkeeper Li, he saluted Lu Ting and introduced himself.

The person recommended by the shopkeeper Li is called Lao Gao, who was originally the housekeeper of a seven-grade official in Chang'an, and the master has a close relationship with the rebellious Fu Gong Qi, and the whole family was beheaded after the Fu Gong Yi rebelled, and the domestic servants were all enslaved.

A person like this who has no roots and no worries is very safe, he has been in the eunuch's house, and he understands all kinds of rules, Lu Ting asked him a few questions and answered them well, and nodded secretly.

"This boss is good, shopkeeper Li, let's make a price." Anyway, the greetings have been called, and the relationship has also been hinted at, straight to the point.

Shopkeeper Li thought about it, stretched out a hand and raised it in front of Lu Ting: "Fifty thousand yuan, only Lu Gongzi has this price." ”

is not very old, shrewd and capable, and has experience in the official's family, a high-level slave like Lao Gao is very sought-after, if it is someone else, it is impossible to be less than 80,000 yuan, Lu Ting is a friend of Changsun Chong, Changsun Chong is the "backer" of Luorenpu, and the shopkeeper Li really does not dare to ask for a high price.

In fact, some have lost money.

When I received the shopkeeper Li, it cost 30,000 yuan, but the shopkeeper Li was tortured and had many injuries on his body.

50,000 yuan is equivalent to 50,000 yuan, Xiao Gui, you can buy two Silla maids with good looks, Lu Ting just hesitated when he heard this, and quickly agreed: "Okay, just 50,000 yuan, thanks to Shopkeeper Li's love." ”

Shopkeeper Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some flattery: "Master Lu, that little old man let the kitchen and the maidservant come up for you to choose, rest assured, they are all good and skilled hands." ”

Lu Ting concealed his relationship with Changsun Chong, obviously not to show off, but to let Shopkeeper Li "be interesting", saying that 50,000 yuan, Shopkeeper Li was afraid that Lu Ting would not be satisfied and too high.

When it reaches the ears of the eldest grandson Chong, it will not look good.

"Don't be in a hurry first" Lu Ting turned his head to Lao Gao and said, "Lao Gao." ”

"Childe, please command."

Lu Ting glanced at him and said casually: "You go with the shopkeeper Li to choose, this son also needs a cook and two maidservants, go." ”
