14. Peng Yuan's slave trader

When the rows of unclothed Qiang slaves were led by the junior colonels of the Dingwu Army with ropes and chains, with various grass marks on the back of their heads, and were escorted to the high platform in the midst of chaotic comments, Huo Zhongtang, who was watching from below, did not feel good in his heart.

As a native of Daozhou, he was also taken captive when he was a child, sold to Daming Palace as a castration, and later recognized his parents when he became an adult.

Several tooth people were talking in front of Huo Zhongtang and looking for suitable goods.

In fact, there is no public price, it all depends on the length of the grass mark inserted by the Qiang slaves, the elder is forty guan, the middle one is thirty guan, and the short one is twenty guan (it can be seen that the emperor gave the Qiang slaves in Lingnan and Fengxiang Mansion is almost equivalent to giving it away for free), as for women and children, most of them are ten to fifteen yuan.

The cry shook the sky, Luo Xiazi lay on the ground, watching his father being bought by one family, his mother being bought by another family, and his other two sisters being bought by the third family, his thin body was under the heavy iron rope, leaning forward with all his might, watching his parents and sister figure away from him, being led like an animal, disappearing into the crowd, since then the end of the world, the flesh and blood are separated, he can't cry, only a low and desperate dry howl, the skin and flesh on his body are grinding by the iron cable, pulling out the blood marks of the Tao.

At this time, Huo Zhongtang saw Luo Shrimp, so he pointed to the low-grade lieutenant beside him.

The two lieutenants walked up to the Dingwu Army Colonel on the steps, whispered a few words, and then put a charge on the deed, and gave the colonel three pieces of good color silk, which was the money to buy Luo shrimp.

Soon Luo Xiazi squatted on the side of Huo Zhongtang's horse, stretched out his hand, grabbed the corn in the clay pot, and ate it in a big gulp.

Huo Zhongtang snorted and laughed, and said to his colleagues who were also sneering around him, "It's like a dog, too, you Dangqiang are almost like dogs now." ”

For Chinese, Luo Xiazi is half-understood, he raised his dirty forehead, wrinkled, his eyes were full of doubts and resentment under his unkempt hair, Huo Zhongtang hit him on the back with a whip, and said to him sharply: "Teach you the rules immediately, see if you can survive in the inner palace." ”

On the first day, more than 3,000 Qiang slaves were sold.

On the second day, the five thousand Qiang slaves were empty again.

Day 3......

Pengyuan Cangcheng became boiling and crazy, and the "Qiang slaves" were simply in short supply, and many people said to the Dingwu Military Academy, let's not buy one or two, but ten or twenty.

But under Gao Yue's tutelage, each of the Dingwu Military Academy was more shrewd than ghosts, and they said to the tooth people that if they bought ten, they would increase the price by 20%; If you want twenty, you have to increase the price by 30%, which is completely a starting price from the ground.

But even so, Qiangnu's business is still very good.

A Hui horse in Chang'an City can be sold for 70 or even 100 yuan, and now the Qiang slave is only half the price of a horse, but it is more cost-effective than buying a horse. Horses were only consumables, and they cost a lot of money to raise, but the ordinary rich people bought ten or eight Qiang slaves, let them "earn their own livelihoods", and cultivate for their families, so that in just a few years, the industry would surely prosper.

Therefore, as soon as these tooth people changed hands to the mainland buyers, each Qiang slave could bring them a profit of about ten times, no wonder they all flocked to it.

In three or four days, 15,000 Qiang slaves were sold.

But the patrons were still unsatisfied, and the tooth people spread the word of mouth, saying that after the right army of the imperial camp immediately made Gao Yue capture Fangqu City, they could get no less than 30,000 Qiang slaves, so everyone seemed to be crazy, and they wanted to go to Fangqu City and Gao Yue to "fight side by side", just like a hyena that followed the lion and ate carrion.

At this time, dozens of junior colonels from Xingyuan Mansion stood on a high platform set up outside the city wall of Cangcheng and said something to the crowded audience.

This matter is actually very simple, that is, the "military market" in Fangqu City immediately, Gao Da Yin has words, and it is no longer free and open like Pengyuan in Ningzhou: if you want to continue to buy the newly captured Qiang slaves in large quantities, you must have the "goods introduction" stamped by the Gao Yin Military Government.

This introduction is the voucher, the voucher for entering the Fangqu City Collection!

"How much does it cost?" I don't know who took the lead like a wolf, shouting and asking in a corner of the crowd in the audience, and then the tide of echoes sounded, all concerned about what the price of obtaining this goods was introduced.

So one of the military academies in front of him raised his hand, and the audience was suddenly silent, and he told everyone that as long as the merchants and Yaren could find a way to transport the grain, cotton cloth, and silk hoarded in the Xingyuan and Fengxiang military warehouses to the front line of Fangqu City to supply the army, we would give different amounts (the number of Qiang slaves bought) according to the different distances and transportation volumes.

Soon, the following scenes appeared in the whole Guanchung, Northwest, and Heungwon, where the grain in the military warehouses was transported by the merchants hired calves and hired people to pull them, along the various post roads, all to the city of Bangqu in Gyeongju.

The barracks of the Tang army around Fangqu City were in an endless stream of convoys, and after the military academies had counted the grain and cloth transported by the caravan, they would award the exchanged goods to them one by one.

This saves a lot of money on foot power.

What is the foot power money for?

Of course, it's the tens of thousands of party members trapped in the canal!

Gao Yue walked out of the tent and looked at Fangqu City, which was full of bonfires in the night, as if he were looking at his own warehouse.

After the fire was completed in July, when the autumn wind was rising, the Tang army in the camp according to the regulation of one camp tent for every ten people, some squatted on the ground to dig a stove to make a fire, some went around to cut firewood, and some were feeding forage to ten pack horses - the Maling River, which flowed by the side of Fangqu City, was blocked by the embankment built by the Tang army, and then diverted its route, obediently following the ditch dug by the Tang army, on both sides of the ditch, the Tang army erected wooden fences, dug out a long trench, and surrounded the entire Fangqu City into a "dead land" and "Jedi".

More than 40,000 men and women of the Yeli and Da Worm tribes, and more than 100,000 livestock, were cut off from water.

Within the Tang army's blockade line, the grasslands on the four sides of Fangqu City were also eaten up by livestock, and Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong were in a desperate situation.

Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong let their wives and concubines and children tie themselves up naked and go to the Gaoyue camp to beg.

Gao Yue directly asked the soldiers to capture dozens of wives and concubines of Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong, and then distributed them to the generals and wingmen under his command as rewards.

As for their children, Gao Yue was not ambiguous, saying that this group of people could all be chieftains, and if they stayed, they would continue to incite the party in the future.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he liked to win over the upper echelons of the alien race for his own use, but by this time Gao Yue had changed his course, and after saying the above words, he asked the junior colonels to hold the swords, and all the young children who Ye Liqi and Shu Hurong came to ask for surrender were taken to the valley behind the camp to be executed.

Then Gao Yue walked around the camps for a week, and saw that in Fangqu City, the fighting spirit of the party had completely collapsed, and the soldiers in his camp were all gearing up, so he decided to launch an extinction general attack on the Yeli and Da Worm clans in the encirclement network after ten days.
