"The guest officer is going to buy a child to summon?"

"Look at me, I was originally a maid from a big family in Wuzhou, and the master has trained her carefully, and she looks and has a good figure, and she has not been born and raised since she was fifteen, and she will be thirty taels."

"This young master is a scholar at first glance, and this little woman also has a particular look, what is said in the ancient books - hair is blood surplus, teeth are bone remainder, it is to see this hair color and tooth mouth."

When they saw that the people were dressed and dressed, the teeth of the people gathered around them, like flies smelling blood.

The last person to speak, Yayou, was pulling Fu Xiaofei, and those next to him didn't stop stretching out their hands.

"Young master, look at my woman, she is not yet twelve years old, she is Huang who has lost some weight, and she was hungry when her hometown was hit by a disaster."

Seeing that the guest's brows were furrowed, the man's teeth hurriedly dragged the little girl to his side, foaming at the mouth and speeding up the speech, "Look at this little woman's hair, black and shiny......"

As he spoke, he pulled the girl's mouth away and said, "Look at this mouthful of glutinous rice-like fine teeth biting gold and broken jade, as long as twenty taels, let the young master take it home, and it will be good in two years." ”

The girl's little face was randomly flattened and rounded by human teeth, and a pair of crystal eyes flashed with tears on her dirty face, and the appearance of wanting to cry but not daring was really pitiful.

Fu Xiaofei, who originally came with a harem dream, became a little impatient after hearing it for a while, and the two martial artists who followed him scattered the tooth people one by one, and shouted to himself: "Don't make noise here, disturb the interest of my master." ”

But the crowd went to the inside.

Na Yazi didn't give up, and continued: "Hey, this guest officer, at a glance, I know that you are a bodhisattva who accumulates blessings and does good, and today I have to let her go to a good family if I am accumulating yin virtue for my family, and it will be done in eighteen taels." ”

The noisy scene was the first impression that the human market in Guangzhou City gave Fu Xiaofei and the others, and he was now glad that Liu Jinggui had found two masters of the dart shop in advance, who could help separate people on the ground.

In fact, the so-called human market is not a market specializing in human trafficking, but an open space outside a wharf outside Xihao, where there was originally a land temple, and only a Taoist official had to give some incense and sell a few plasters on weekdays. Because the gentry of Nanhai County and Guangzhou City often set up sheds here to give porridge, so there are many poor people who also stay around the land temple, some of them are the whole family to build a shack here to mix with water, and some are just temporarily living in the left near to find some short-term work.

Although both Guangxi and Guangxi have been hit by disasters this year, they are still at the level of a normal year, and they have vigorously renovated their water conservancy projects a few years ago, so there are still no large numbers of displaced people. Most of the little women in the hands of these people are still bought back from various places, so there is a set of trading rules in the market. Although Gao Ju and Na Liu Economy are willing to help, since they know the place, it is also reasonable to go to explore the situation first.

After lunch today, Fu Xiaofei and his entourage went out early and came to the market, Huang Yuluo heard that he was going to buy people, and he had to come with him because of the overflow of love, Fu Xiaofei couldn't and had to agree. A rare large transaction has been finalized, although the details still need to wait for the news from Youyuzhou to be finalized, but Fu Xiaofei and Gu Ziming both feel that since they are driven by interests, Master Gao's behavior is still predictable.

And today just the official and the Gao family are not yet someone to contact, the lotus stem gate was originally opened the day after tomorrow, but now it is too late to decide, a line first to pass through Foshan Town or Wudoukou, along the way through Duning, Zini and other ferries one day to Shunde County, and then one day to the south from Huangpu to Xiangshan County by boat, and then from Xiangshan County out of the lotus stem gate, from there to Macao by land there are nearly 100 miles, it is to be full of three days to be able to arrive, only to count the time of the lotus stem gate is not enough, It is expected that Tian Shengjin's arrangement will at least be made in the next opening of the gate, although this trip is to follow the official team, presumably if someone really arrives at the gate, it will not be opened, but the officials of Daming are used to being lazy, where will they make an extra trip for this matter.

As for the high lift, the goods on the side of Youyuzhou are probably not so easy to raise. Fu Xiaofei gave Master Gao a list of 500,000 catties of pig iron or the same amount of iron pot ironware, 30,000 catties of saltpeter, 50,000 catties of sulfur, and 100,000 catties of copper. Although it is said that the Yuzhou is connected to the wealthy merchants near Guangzhou, and Foshan Town is even more convenient, most of them cannot be done.

Gu Ziming gave Fu Xiaofei a simple calculation, at this time, Guangdong's annual pig iron output should be nearly eight or nine million catties, not counting the private smelting that has not been registered, this is also nearly 5,000 tons, and it cannot be worth this in any country in Europe. But Guangzhou Railway not only supplies Guangdong, the southern provinces have demand, and the Nanyang countries also buy it, Fu Xiaofei asked for one percent of Guangdong's annual pig iron output, and even he himself felt that he couldn't do it anyway, just as a bargaining chip.

But even if all these materials are satisfied, according to the current market price, I am afraid that it will not be less than 100,000 taels, and the silver brought with it is still quite rich. Although you can't run out of money, you have to have a good place to go so that you don't waste capacity on the ship.

In addition to all kinds of raw materials, the biggest demand in Borneo at the moment is a high-quality population. Although the slave trade of Ma Chen was reached with the Dutch and the British, Fu Xiaofei knew the efficiency of slaves, not to mention that the most lacking at the moment was actually soldiers and women. Although there are a lot of Brunei now*, most of them are local natives, and there are not many Han women who go to the South Seas, especially in Fujian, a place where they grow up in sea trade.

So this time in Guangzhou, several traversers took the time to come to the city today. After going to Foshan Town, there is no hope for recruiting blacksmiths from there, after all, it is the south, commerce and trade are developed, and the Guangzhou Railway has never been in short supply, and the skilled master does not worry about making no money, even if Foshan can't get along, he will have something to eat when he goes to Macau.

However, there is a surplus of shipwrights in Fujian, and some can be considered to be recruited back, followed by children, children between the ages of ten and fourteen are the best, both men and women.

A boy of this age is a good source of soldiers, and he can use it after a few months of training, and he can go to work in a factory even if he doesn't have enough skills to learn some skills in school. As for women, they can also work and farm, and more importantly, the daughters of the mainland are more suitable for the aesthetics of the elders regardless of their skin color and appearance, before this trip, Xie Ming, Su Yao, Liu Chenxu and several other veterans who had made friends with Fu Xiaofei in private asked him to help find one or two little beauties to go back.

Jin Yanze was in charge of Huaiyuanyi, Gu Ziming and Zhang Kui and Qin Xian of the military group went to the courtyard room lent by Gao Ju to prepare, and the housekeeper of the Gao family was already waiting there. That place is not too far from here, Fu Xiaofei, Huang Yuluo and Liu Ying and Zhou Ling of the military group came to Renshi together, and they also brought four personal guards, all of whom were recruits who came down from the ship, and they all lived together in Huaiyuan these days.

When a group of people arrived in Daming, they all made local clothes, but although Guangzhou City is a big port, there are no ready-to-wear stores, and several people are tall, all of them have to be customized, and Huang Yuluo has high requirements, which consumes a lot of energy. Today, I finally got everyone together, and I changed my previous dressing style, but the short hair of Fu Xiaofei and others is a flaw after all, and it still makes people see the strangeness from a distance.

Fortunately, in the surroundings of Huaiyuanyi, there are always some foreign people in a market, so there are many strange costumes, Fu Xiaofei's line is also a good way to recruit Huafeng, and the citizens will not take it as a grievance, and the merchants who come along the stone road have many business.

Maybe he was afraid of revealing his face, Fu Xiaofei first asked Liu Jinggui to help find a dart shop, and there was actually a dart shop on the dock, but Fu Xiaofei was still not used to the green skin's face, and he told Liu Jinggui when he went out of the city last night, and the two dart masters had come to wait outside Huaiyuan Station early this morning. These dart masters also have many connections in the local area, and there are also people who take care of the hospital in the official's home, which can be regarded as being taken care of by all parties, and one of Liu Jinggui's sons naturally has contacts in the local army. Fu Xiaofei gave a bold price, and the two dart masters were extremely attentive, and after going out, they introduced the shops and merchants along the way and the customs of the market, and when they arrived at the market, they opened the road in front of them when they saw the situation.

It just so happened that Ye Yiwei also mentioned yesterday that he wanted to recruit some workers and tunhu to return to Guiyang, and most workers in Guangdong would not go to other places to make a living, so they also hit the idea in the market. The needs of the two groups of people don't seem to coincide, at least Guiyang doesn't need a shipwright, so I'm afraid that the business name and grange that the shopkeeper Ye said don't need to be small.

Huang Yuluo, a woman is more than one meter and eight meters tall, a woman of this size is really rare to see, and as soon as she came in, she was cast a strange look by the teeth. She didn't care about this, she first turned around and looked at the children in the hands of the people, most of them were teenage girls, and then there was a flood of love and she came towards Fu Xiaofei.

At this moment, Fu Xiaofei was having an in-depth exchange with the shopkeeper Ye, and Ye Yiwei asked: "How many family members do you plan to buy back?" ”

"It's not a secret, I'm tired of wandering overseas, and I'm about to go back to Daming to live a little life, and now I'm planning to buy some farms in Qiongzhou Mansion to marry a wife and have children, and my family is going to have more."

This time I came to the mainland, and when I passed through Hainan Island, I visited the vicinity of Sanya in the later generations, where the hydrological conditions were good, and the nearest Yazhou city had just experienced the Li Rebellion, which was the time to recuperate, and the distance was not far away. When Fu Xiaofei was supplying in Yazhou, he had an intersection with Pan Daxi of Nazhizhou, and felt that this person was quite pragmatic and did not reject maritime trade, so he was a good collaborator. He once asked Pan Daxi, revealing that he had plans to open up unowned barren land near Sanya. Fu Xiaofei and his entourage already claimed to be the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there was no reason for him to refuse to attach an extra income to Pan Daxi of Qiongzhou.

A few days ago, he contacted the headquarters, and he planned to leave a team to set up a trading station in Guangzhou for intelligence and trade work, and Sanya could develop a private port, and the surrounding people were also cleaned up last time, and the headquarters agreed to do it. Although Sanya is far away from Brunei, there is no barrier between the two places, and this sea area is not coastal, and there will be no merchant ships passing by on weekdays.

So Fu Xiaofei's words are not lies, but there are actually many people in Sanya, and there are people who say that it is in the territory of the Daimyo, and it is impossible to say it everywhere when people take people out of the country privately.

Ye Yiwei came from Guizhou, and he has gone through a lot of things to change the land and return to the river, so he is not surprised that the overseas remnants are attached to China. He also said from Fu Xiaofei's point of view: "These little women are not bad, the price is still right, I heard that the place in Qiongzhou is also deserted, and if you want to settle down, you must find a few good ones to be comfortable." ”

Fu Xiaofei cleaned up his mood a little, and said a little stupidly: "I heard that the thin horses in Yangzhou are famous, but I haven't seen them, and the women here look pitiful." ”

"There is a saying that you get what you pay for, and Yangzhou thin horses are not just collected. I heard that since childhood, I have to be trained properly, not only to learn female red, medicine, cooking and room skills, but also to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to get along with the eldest woman at home, and to be half an account outside, but not these dozens of taels of silver can be bought, Mr. Fu said that why do wealthy businessmen from all over the country love to go to Yangzhou to take concubines? Ye Yiwei said with a smile, he and Fu Xiaofei have similar personalities and become closer and closer, and the accident under the old age is undoubtedly revealed.

"Damn, do you have to study accounting as a concubine?" Liu Ying was stunned to listen, he was the veteran of the military group, responsible for guarding the safety of the northbound detachment, and he also had the intention of choosing a few girls, but now listening to what the shopkeeper Ye said, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and said in his heart that this rich man is really good at playing, and he began to lack confidence in whether he can control his future wife and concubine.

Ye Yiwei looked around again and said: "Although these women are not as good as thin horses, their appearance and figure also make it good, if they are a little worse, it is not bad if they can go to the field, and they can be promised to their families in the future. ”

Zhou Ling, another veteran of the military group, was also there at this time, and when he heard it, he joked with the guards around him, "Wotulu, how about finding you a daughter-in-law too?" ”

The other three pro-soldiers listened to the light in their eyes, although the three were Han Chinese, they were all born in Nanyang, and now they are sixteen or seventeen, which is the time of youth and ignorance. Although these women who were trafficked in human teeth were dirty, they could still see that they were good-looking, and neither the natives of Borneo nor Nyonya could compare. The head of the capital wants to buy a few concubines by himself, and listening to Chief Zhou's words, it seems that everyone has a share, and his heart is a little rippling.

The boy known as Wotulu was black and thin, wearing a set of kudzu narrow sleeves with a skin color, which was the best annotation of Mu Monkey's crown after seeing it recently. He was the only Maluku prisoner on the Spanish battleship last time, because he admired the civilized world, and he heard that he was also quite motivated in the naval academy, and this time he was specially selected to enter the northbound detachment.

He listened to Zhou Ling's words but was unwilling, and said in half-baked Chinese: "The chief wants to buy a woman to be a wife?" That's a lot of trouble. ”

"It's troublesome if you don't find a wife, didn't your parents marry you when you were in Maluku?"

He didn't want to Wotulu but blurted out, "It's much better for the chiefs to catch a female orangutan than this woman, and there are people on the Malugu islands who often do it......"

Huang Yuluo had just gathered together at this time, and everyone was speechless......
