431 Chasing Self-Encounters
But Zhu Beiguo went on to say that the buying and selling in this market is no better than ordinary goods, and other things can be compared to others, looking at the reviews of the goods, but the women in the market are all each person who is put in a ** bag and only shows a pair of feet, just standing in a row like that, the buyer can only buy under such conditions, buy and leave, and must not regret it.
Fortunately, the price is divided into grades, ranging from three or five taels of silver to more than ten taels of silver, and no matter how high it is, there will be no more. But it is not clear what standard this price is based on.
Anyway, there is one thing: the specific appearance and age of the women are not allowed to be seen at all, and the buyer can only judge by looking at the exposed feet under the sack.
"Well, I've heard of smelling and knowing women, but now I actually have to know women by labor and management, which is a bit difficult!"
"Isn't that embarrassing?"
"it! I was deceived by the TV series and movies I watched in the past, and I thought that I would make women stand in front of the public and show up for us......"
"You're looking at the sale of male slave labor, right? It's not just about the body, it's about the teeth! ”
"Yes, yes! It's like selling livestock......"
"Gotcha! This is in trouble! What if I buy an old mom? ”
"Then take it home and be a babysitter!"
Looking at the big guy for a long time, Zhu Beiguo hurriedly clapped his hands to make everyone quiet, and said, Originally, I also wanted to ask the other party to change the rules, but then I thought about it, or forget it, mainly because I was afraid that everyone would have conflicts in order to compete for beauties on the spot, and it would be really troublesome, and it would be ugly at that time, right?
I think this way is very good, in short, it is the same as your brother Wei when you gambled on the stone, it is a piece of head covering, at most it is a two-foot opening for you to analyze and judge, and when the time comes, you will buy it and take it away, go home and open the sack to see, whether it is old or young or ugly or beautiful, it all depends on your personal judgment and luck, you are willing to fight, completely voluntary and resigned to fate, everyone has nothing to say, right?
Also, there is no standard for the so-called good goods, I asked, and the other party responded that according to the practice of the human market, there are only three standards for women who are sent to the human market for sale: no malignant disease, able to work, and able to give birth......
After listening to Brother Zhu's explanation, everyone was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and many people quickly calmed down and took away the eager heart just now, and the scene was very quiet for a while.
At this time, someone muttered, speaking like this, it's hard to say that you really spent money to find an aunt......
However, at this time, Wei Dongli was very open-minded, he said that it was not expensive anyway, and if he bought an aunt, he would be a nanny......
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed and said, Come on, you, just with your Brother Wei's bloody appearance that is as lonely as snow, I'm afraid you won't let it go even if it's your aunt......
Wei Dongli was furious when he heard this, and he really wanted to rush over and beat people, but he was stopped by everyone, for a while, there were laughing and scolding, some pulling, and some coaxing, and the deck was suddenly chaotic like a vegetable market, Li Sanduo and Zhu Beiguo They could only laugh on the side, anyway, they couldn't stop it, let it be as they pleased......
But no matter what, the human market is definitely going to go, and as for those who can't start there, let's say otherwise, even if it is worth seeing this alternative business.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group buying team finally gathered on the deck of the Pride, and then everyone teased each other all the way, and set off in a hip-hop game, and half an hour later, the group finally arrived at an open place in the east of Holo Harbor - the human market.
However, core members of the Huotang Club, such as Ren Kewei@Hong and Hu Xiaolin, did not participate in this "group purchase".
As Ming fans, there is a potential rule in their minds - their wife must be a girl from a good Han family, although a woman bought from the market does not necessarily have to be a wife, but I don't know why, I just don't want to.
Seeing the three of them staying on the deck of the Pride to watch the excitement, Li Sanduo walked over, and Wei @ Hong opened his mouth to greet:
"Brother Li, why didn't you go with you?"
"Don't go ......"
"Do you look down on those indigenous girls?"
"That's not it, I followed Captain Gu to the ocean in the old world, and I have seen a lot of women all over the world, and I really don't think that only Han girls are pleasing to the eye, and Han girls are of course also pleasing to the eye, but other places also have their own beautiful ......"
"Then go check it out!"
"Buy a woman? Mainly feel unethical ......"
"Don't, Brother Li, why are you immoral when you buy those hard-working girls in the market? That's saving people from the fire pit, okay!? ”
Ren Ke said seriously beside him.
Li Sanduo smiled slightly, glanced at Ren Ke and responded:
"What you say is not unreasonable, hey! But I'm still not used to it, in the old world, I was a person who felt very, very embarrassed even on a blind date, let alone buy a woman directly...... I always find it difficult to accept that I am chasing my own encounters, not chasing others......"
"Brother Li, I didn't understand your last sentence."
Wei @ Hong replied with a confused face.
"Pursuing natural encounters, not artificially created encounters, is that what you mean, Brother Li?"
"Well, Ren Ke, you know that too? That's right! That's it, my ideal is to meet a girl who likes me, and then start to get in touch, and all kinds of romance, and finally we come together......"
"I can't imagine that you are a big brother and three thick, and you also have a delicate side?"
Ren Ke sneered.
"There is a tiger in my heart, smell the rose, and I am talking about it!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Li, you think the blind date is embarrassing, and I think it is, then...... Don't they feel embarrassed to buy women just like that? ”
Wei @ Hong suddenly pointed to the distance, a group of noisy people who had already reached the end of the trestle and said.
"Hehe, they, after all, are still a bunch of otaku!
Don't look at them hip-hopping all the way now, that's to hide their embarrassment and conscience uneasiness! ”
Li Sanduo glanced at the group of young people in the distance and said.
"Uh...... Brother Li, you always say a word......"
"It seems to be the reason."
"Alas...... After all, for the first time in my life, I bought a woman with silver, and the otaku was the same as the first time I went to the party, in fact, their hearts were quite nervous and shy, and I believed in my judgment, because I was from the past, and I was ...... in Amsterdam."
Speaking of this, Li Sanduo suddenly sighed lightly, looked into the distance and didn't say anything more......
The City of Men - an open market for the sale of slaves in Sulu.
In this era, slavery, or slavery in disguise, was well developed in the Nanyang region, so the market for human trafficking was also developed.
Specifically, in the country of Sulu, the port of Holo, a country with a centuries-old pirate tradition, the human market has always been a place of both purchase and sales.
The "goods" of the city of Hollo came from a wide range of sources, near and far, from the Negroes and the untouchables trafficked by Indian maritime merchants brought in by Arab traffickers from Africa, to the various types of people that pirates had acquired while plundering passing ships.
In addition, there are people looted during tribal clashes in the jungle, and some are even captured by Sulu in foreign wars.
Therefore, people in the city have a variety of skin colors and races.
At this moment, this group buying team is led by Zhu Beiguo, and along the way, he is explaining to his partners the situation of the Huoluo Gang People Market, as well as some rules for doing business in the market, of course, most of the specific content is what Zhu Beiguo learned through the Xue Laixiang brothers and Zheng Fuzhi.
Zhu Beiguo told his partners that there were still black children in the city, but after learning about the situation, he didn't ask the assistant of Sulu to bring them, not because I was racist, because these black children in the city were trafficked by Arabs, and Arab traffickers have a characteristic, all black children or teenagers will be castrated, so he didn't ask for it.
But rest assured, all other races are considered "normal and healthy" people, because there are buyers from all walks of life, and eunuchs are generally not needed unless they are rich and noble.
The main reason was that the castrated black children could not do heavy physical work, so only the nobles were willing to buy them, and the nobles bought these people to be slaves in their harems or backyards.
And those "normal and healthy" men and women, especially women, will be bought as slaves by ordinary people, and even used to pass on the lineage.
In other words, some ordinary well-off or Zhongkang families also have slaves, but the quantity and quality are different.
In a word, slaves are also divided into high, medium and low-grade, just like the quality of goods, and some grades of slaves are only used by nobles.
Zhu Beiguo went on to conclude that it can be seen that in this world, slavery and slave labor are relatively common economic phenomena, and it is not your impression that only the rich and noble families use slaves.
The most important thing is that in this era, slaves are not expensive, even if it is a well-off family, as long as they are willing to pay a few taels of silver and can afford to support a mouthful, they can still use slaves.
Note that in Sulu, slavery is protected by law, of course, although slaves have no independent personality in law, they are also special goods that are different from general goods, and cannot be bought and sold casually, especially not to buy slaves who have fled from other people's families, otherwise it is illegal to occupy other people's property......
