If you have money, you will become a big family.

Even if it's the first rays of the morning sun shining in... Cao Shuo feels that this Cao Mansion full of copper smell is very comfortable, oops, the feeling of being rich is good... Even last night I was woken up by gold in my dream.

Ah... Isn't it becoming a bit vulgar?

Cao Shuo asked himself in his heart, and said okay, to be a noble person, a pure person, and a person who is free from low-level interests!

Oh, in the face of money, I lost myself and fell again!

Speaking of which, last night.

Cao Song instructed Ah Cai that in the future... As long as it is the coins withdrawn by the youngest grandson Cao Shuo, no matter how much, they will be prepared properly, and there is no need to report them... If Cao Shuo wants to hoard any more goods, the Cao Mansion must vigorously support it...

Of course, Cao Song also emphasized that the land deeds of Langya County and Qian County must be tightly hidden, which is the old bottom of the Cao family!

After all, Cao Song is enlightened enough...

Whether it's luck or a keen sense of smell, this huge amount of money is indeed earned by Cao Shuo... If he wants to spend, Cao Song will never stop him.

Crunch... Pushing open the door of the living room and breathing in the freshest air, Cao Shuo stretched.

Belch... What's the situation?

Very unexpected... In the courtyard of the pavilion, there is a complete set of Hu beds, Hu chairs, Hu cabinets, and a few women's Hu clothes...

This?

Cao Shuo pondered in his heart? Huqi? Aren't they all sold out? How can there be any fish that have slipped through the net? Could it be that the Zhen family pulled it down?

After asking the servants, I learned that this was specially ordered by the eldest young master Cao Ang to stay...

… Cao Shuo was slightly surprised, how many did his brother Cao Ang leave behind Hu beds, Hu chairs, and Hu cabinets? It's understandable! But what do these women's robes mean? Don't... Is Cao Ang, who is honest, good at this?

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo shook his head violently... This is a topic that cannot be pondered.

Cao Cao's family is very strange.

In my impression, Cao Cao likes other people's wives, so let's not say it; After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he also took a lot of concubines from his father Cao Cao; Cao Zhi likes his sister-in-law; Cao Zhang loves horses and doesn't like women... Forehead drop God! In this family, if Cao Ang has any special hobbies, Cao Shuo will not be surprised at all.

That's where I come to mind.

"Little boy." The voice of the servant Ah Cai came. "The master has ordered, let me go to Luoyang East Market with the little boy to buy some parts, and pick some of them to send to the little boy, so as to ensure that everything is complete... Now, the East Market is about to open, when will we leave? ”

"Grandpa Acai, go now!" Cao Shuo replied directly... I can't wait.

Today... I'm going to Taobao!

……

……

"Little boy." While walking, Ah Cai did not forget to analyze the scene about Luoyang East City. "Luoyang East City is a place for human traffickers to sell slaves, but the slaves in their hands are mixed, if you choose to be an ordinary servant, it's not bad, if you really want to choose a part, you have to go to the land temple in Dongshi."

"Huh? Land Temple? Cao Shuo asked suspiciously.

"Yes. In the land temple, it is not the slaves in the hands of human traffickers, but some wrestlers who think they have some skills and take the initiative to find their masters. Ah Cai continued: "Most of these people are from poor families, and whoever can reward them with a bite to eat, they will follow whom... Even if it is loyal, the major clans will also come to this land temple when they choose their tribes. Of course, whether you can pick the favorite one, in addition to vision, luck is also very important. Some of them look skinny and bone-ty, and when they are full, their strength is amazing! ”

Speaking of this, Ah Cai paused and explained in detail. "For example, our neighbor Yuan's family, there are two people in the selected songs, one is called Yan Liang, and the other is called Wen Chou... Originally, it seemed to be weak, who would have thought that after eating and drinking, they would be able to carry a hundred catties of Juding, and their kung fu was also very good, and they could be regarded as a treasure picked up by their Yuan family. ”

I'll go...

Cao Shuo was taken aback, daring to be kind and ugly, and the two heroes who would shock Hebei in the future were born in the trilogy back then? Follow the Yuan family so early! No wonder, it's too early to be "cool", it seems... The land temple can really find talents!

"That's right." Ah Cai seemed to think of something again. "Little boy, to this Luoyang East City... Your father Cao Cao's name..."Just as he spoke, Ah Cai stopped talking again... Shook his head. "That's it... It's nothing. ”

Not? Daddy Cao Cao's name? What's wrong? Don't... Is Daddy Cao Cao famous in Luoyang East City?

Cao Shuo is a little foggy... Just as I wanted to ask in detail, the group had already rushed to Luoyang East City.

……

Wow...

It's a lively scene.

Compared with the rows of shops in the West Market, Luoyang East Market is a completely different scene, under the trees, under the eaves, next to the stone lions... Wherever you can stand on your feet, there are slave traders everywhere, shouting loudly... And behind them, tied with ropes, are countless unclothed men.

"Take a look, I've got here... has the strength to carry four bags of grain, which can be checked and verified, and you don't need money if you can't carry it! ”

"Come on, come on, new new ... Smooth skin, young age, most suitable for serving in the inner courtyard, come and see..."

"You can't buy it, you can't be fooled... Look at my goods here, tall, spiritual... has the strength, can carry bags and chores, can serve in the inner courtyard, as long as 3,000 yuan..."

The shouts and shouts of the traffickers came and went... These so-called slaves can be as little as 1,000 or as much as 10,000 yuan, and some of them can be sold for 20,000 yuan, such as some exceptionally strong, or young and delicate ones.

It seems, here... Slaves were like ordinary goods, and even their price was far less than that of a horse.

Of course... Such an outcry made Cao Shuo very repulsive... Since entering the East Market, his brows have always been tightly furrowed.

It's not that he was sympathetic to these slaves...

Cao Shuo just sighed, the prosperous city of Luoyang... The number of slaves is so huge, it is simply beyond his understanding, he only knew it from books in the past, the Han slave trade was prevalent, and even when Wang Mang usurped power... The number of his personal slaves alone reached more than 200,000.

Really... When this scene really appeared in front of Cao Shuo's eyes... Cao Shuo inevitably had a ripple in his heart? What is the reason? Let so many people be willing to be slaves...

Is it an act of God? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, just in time for the arrival of the Xiaoice period, the weather was cold and fickle... The consequence of this is the prevalence of plagues, cold food... How many people are poor and homeless due to illness, and only by selling themselves as slaves and maids can they exchange for a way to live.

As for man-made disasters? The rule of the Second Emperor Huan Ling is not enlightened, and it is not too much to say that the rule of this period of time is very absurd.

All of these were the reasons for the prosperity of the slave market.

Speaking of which, despite the poverty... It's also a force to be reckoned with...

A few years later, the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang rose up, how many such poor people rose up to resist? In the official history, the sailing of the Great Wei Dynasty is also inseparable from the Qingzhou soldiers formed on the basis of these poor people, which shows that the troubled times are coming... This force needs to be faced! More need to be wooed!

Cao Shuo's eyes were fixed on these slaves, and his thoughts flew out of the clouds...

The servant Ah Cai thought that the little boy was the same as his father Cao Cao, and he also liked to watch the traffickers shouting and selling slaves... With a faint smile, he said, "Little boy will take a look here first... Where is the Land Temple? It's all a group of rough people, don't scare the little boy, the old servant will choose some first, and then let the little boy choose from them. ”

As he spoke, Ah Cai beckoned two servants to protect Cao Shuo, and he himself walked quickly in the direction of the Land Temple.

Cao Shuo at this time... is still thinking about how to get the Cao family and the Xiahou family to win over, or use these poor people at the bottom... Strengthen your strength.

I didn't care about Ah Cai and his party going far...

Suddenly, Cao Shuo's eyes were quickly attracted by the scene in front of him...

It turned out that a woman trafficker was holding a rope and tying a dozen female slaves, shouting and shouting... Walked quickly into this Luoyang East City.

Slaves are male and female... It's just that in Cao Shuo's opinion, these yellow-skinned, dirty women make him feel more sympathetic.

In fact, from the mouth of the servant of the Cao Mansion, Cao Shuo knew...

At that time, his mother Liu Chun sold herself to Cao Cao during the Grand Tour because she sold herself to bury her father... Daddy Cao Cao is really good to her.

Out of gratitude, these years... Liu Chun can also be regarded as making cattle and horses for Cao Cao, for the Cao family, and even... When Ding Hui started, she did not hesitate to call herself her maid and suffered a lot of cold eyes! If it weren't for the drunkenness and disorder on the night of Cao Cao's cave candles, where would Liu Chun have thought of becoming the wife of the Cao family?

"Alas... Creation makes people! "A long sigh, Cao Shuo himself didn't know... Why, he is sentimental about these slave girls, this is not in his style... Since you are in troubled times? The heart should also become like a stone...

I am sighing.

Suddenly... Stomp Tread... The sudden sound of footsteps, then... A voice appeared in Cao Shuo's ears coldly.

- "What to see?" Money! ”

Cao Shuo turned his head sharply and saw a man dressed in Taoist costumes, about the same age as him... The height is not much different.

This little Taoist boy pinched his waist, with a sense of "I am the king of heaven", pouted, his brows were almost erected, and he still had a piece of grass in his mouth...

Seeing that Cao Shuo didn't speak, he repeated it again.

"In this Luoyang East City, to see the female slaves, you must give money... Quick, get the money! ”

Belch... Cao Shuo's eyes must be beads, the one in front of him... It's like a demon king of the world!

The point is, this guy seems to be only six or seven years old, right? Don't? This year... Are children so precocious?
