Chapter 964: Yuncang Faction

Although the Yuncang Sect has great magical powers, there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who know about it, and there are two reasons. First, the Yuncang faction has a rule that is unacceptable to everyone, but if the loan reaches a certain amount, it will not be allowed to borrow again within a certain period of time. If you have already borrowed 500,000 yuan for three years, and you have not repaid it within three years, you cannot borrow again.

In a sense, this is a common way to avoid investment risks, but at the moment, borrowing money is borrowed to death, so it can't be eaten.

Second, the Yuncang faction does not accept everything, and does not accept anything other than livestock, which means that all commodities in the form of people cannot participate in the transaction. However, human trafficking is a legal business at present, and there are not a few people who sell their wives as concubines, so the profits are very large, but there are also risks.

In the case of those who are tired of seeking death, self-mutilation, suicide, or even running away and dying of illness, the loss is greater than that of livestock. And people want to eat food, a single store or two stores can raise people, Yuncang faction and other pawnshops all over the Central Plains each raise a few dozen people, a day to eat the grain, or to find death and greasy life, and even a year can not be sold in their own hands, in general, it is not cost-effective.

These two rules alone discourage many rich people, and even poor people who have no rice at home to sell their wives.

Yuke informed Chu Shiyuan, the master of Yuncang's mission to Jinye, overnight, and personally arrived early this morning to wait for Baili Yan.

"Hehaha, it's better to see Yongxing Hou than to hear it, Chu is really fortunate to have three lives today."

Bai Liyan raised her hand and returned the salute, and said humbly:

"Lord Chumen has a good reputation, Yan came to disturb your faction uninvited, and he didn't want to go, so he was polite here."

"Eh, Yongxing Hou is famous all over the world, and it is also an honor for my faction to be appreciated by Your Excellency, so there is no reason to bother. Hehaha, Yongxing Hou, please. ”

"Lord Truman, please first."

After some greetings, Chu Shiyuan led Baili Yan into the back hall without changing the money, and asked people to take the Baili Fang saber.

"Liang Guo's short soldiers are mainly swords, and there are not many horizontal knives, and this knife shape is strange, when it was included in the shop yesterday, the people who are not long-eyed mistakenly thought it was a general sword, so they only gave ten inches of silver. Chu learned that after learning about this time, he checked this knife overnight, and he knew that it was the best knife in the world. I wanted to return to the house overnight, but it was getting late, and it was really inconvenient to go to the house to disturb the Marquis of Yongxing, and I also hoped that Your Excellency Haihan. ”

"Eh, Lord Truman's words are serious, just a sword, why bother Lord Trumen to run in person, it should be this Hou himself. Yesterday, it was my unfilial daughter who had a temporary idea, and I don't know the depth of this knife in exchange for money, which caused inconvenience to the Lord of Trumen, and I ask the Lord of Trumen to bear with me. ”

"Hehaha...... Everyone says that Yongxing Hou is approachable and generous, and what he said today is really true, hehaha...... This knife Chu will be the master to return your honor, this money, how about making ten inches of silver. ”

"This is not inappropriate, the family has a family law and door rules, and your faction also makes a living from this, and because of Ben Hou, he made an exception and broke the rules, this is not Ben Hou's personality. Lord Chumen, you still act according to the rules, Your Excellency can also explain to your faction, and Benhou can rest assured. ”

"In that case, how about redeeming it for fifteen inches of silver?"

Chu Shiyuanzheng asked, and Bai Liyan nodded in agreement:

"Yes, just fifteen inches of silver to redeem."

The equivalent price of ten inches of silver, and the sale of fifteen inches of silver, is already a very low price. But everything that enters the pawnshop will be priced according to the situation, and at least 50% will be added to the live pawn, and if it is dead, the price will not be less than double. Anything that can be killed is a good thing, and the purpose is to make you lose ownership of the item permanently.

The saber was in hand, and the pawn ticket and silver were delivered, and Bailiyan consulted Chu Shiyuan in detail about the Yuncang faction.

I had heard of the Yuncang faction before, but due to practical reasons, Bailiyan had never had the need to pawn, so I really didn't know much, and this time I just took this opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the details of the Yuncang faction.

Of course, the "bottom line" people will definitely not be able to tell you, Bai Liyan will naturally not be bored with himself, he is more interested in how powerful the Yuncang faction is. Chatting and chatting, Baili Yan suddenly had an evil thought, and he said:

"Your faction has great powers, and Ben Hou has something to ask for, but I don't know if your faction can do it for Ben Hou."

"Oh!" Chu Shiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Is it a rare treasure or a delicate and strange thing, as long as I send all of them, I will definitely get them for Yongxing Hou." ”

"It's not an uncommon thing, I'm afraid it's against the rules of your sect, so Ben Hou is very difficult to say."

"Yongxing Marquis said that it doesn't matter, whether it is suitable or not, it is up to the head of my faction and the elders to decide."

"That's good, Ben Hou wants people."

Chu Shiyuan was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked:

"Who?"

"Anyone can do it, those who sell their sons and daughters, those who flee with their families, and slaves from all countries, as long as they want, they will accept them."

"This ......" Chu Shiyuan hesitated, thought for a moment and then said: "Hasn't your country abolished the slave law and returned the people to freedom, what do you want slaves to do?" ”

"That's right, our Xian country is sparsely populated and has a lot of land, so Benhou is anxious to replenish the population to enrich the national strength. Therefore, after these people move into the Xian country, they can enjoy the same treatment as the people of our Xian, regardless of each other. In addition, there are the recent rumors in the city about the armpit strange people, but the Lord of Truman has heard of it? ”

"I've heard about it, and it's said that it's still close to Your Excellency. It's not a secret, in fact, there are three or four points of belief in this matter, but if you want to say that it will cause trouble in the world in the future, Chu really doesn't believe it. Since Yongxinghou mentioned it, I don't know if I can give a positive statement in the next one, I always use false rumors like this, I and other businessmen also want to eat, in case of a big disaster one day, such a big stall is not easy to clean up. ”

"Since Lord Truman believes in three or four points, can you tell me why you believe in these three or four points?"

"Yongxing Hou is a good question, my Yuncang faction has been in the pawn business for more than 400 years, and there are countless strange treasures and evil foreign objects that I have seen, so my faction has always believed that there are no wonders in the world, but all legends and news, etc., there should always be a source, even if it is false and misinformation, there must be a reason.

And the rules of the royal guest door are strict, this time the head of Xiao came in person to warn the Son of Heaven, which doesn't seem to be fake. Taking a step back, there are some strange things in this world that are terrible at first glance, and there are actually subtleties when you look closely. Therefore, even if the royal guest is frightened and exaggerated, even if it is folded in half for the time being, this armpit weird man is not trivial, can there still be a way for people to live.

Therefore, Chu is also worried, if the rumors come true one day, this business is afraid that it will come to an end. ”

"It turns out that the Lord of Trumen thinks so. Then Ben Hou will make it clear, I am afraid that the matter of the armpit people will only become more serious, and your faction should prepare as soon as possible. There are few people in our Xian country, and Ben Hou did his best to move in the population in order to expand his strength and resist the attack of the armpit people, so I hope that the Lord of Chumen can help in this matter. ”

"So, Xianguo is really preparing for war with all its might to resist the southern invasion of the armpit people?"

"Not bad." Bai Liyan affirmed, and then said: "After the end of the southern expedition, Benhou returned to the Central Plains and was shocked to learn the news of the Heavenly Ship of the Changsun Kingdom, so since then, he has been actively preparing for war.

Although the strength of the Xianguo has increased greatly in recent years, it seems that on the surface it is full of financial resources, but in fact, it is used to prepare for war. If the Lord of Chumen has time, you may wish to ask someone to inquire, in recent years, my Xianguo has built a large number of cities and fortresses, all of which are mainly for prevention. If our Xianguo wants to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, why should we build cities and fortresses in the hinterland, and use them completely for army expansion. ”

The more Chu Shiyuan listened, the more it looked like that was the case, not only a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead:

"That armpit monster can't be killed, and it's true that it eats human flesh to feed its stomach!"

"It's true. If it weren't for Ben Hou's intention to frighten the Lord of Chumen, the number of armpit people would be hundreds of thousands or even millions, so if he invaded the Central Plains one day, with the current situation in the Central Plains, it would be a disaster of national destruction and extinction. Therefore, Benhou intended to rapidly expand his manpower, so as to free up young and strong men to expand his military strength in wartime. ”

"But this is not a small amount of money, the money and food needed for trading, migration, resettlement, and pacification are huge, and it would be fine if a few people bought and sold nearby, but if it was tens of thousands of people, it was a lot of money."

"Yes, so Benhou can pay money or commodities in advance every year, as long as the money is in hand, your faction will buy the population and transport it to our country to hand over to Benhou, and the interests of your faction will never be less than half a cent."

"This matter is very important, it is not for Chu to make the decision, and I hope that Yongxing Hou Kuan will wait for a few days, and then reply after Chu has passed the main hall in detail."

"It's okay, Ben Hou will leave next month at the latest, and the headquarters of your faction will be located in Liang Kingdom, I think ten days should be enough. However, I also hope that your faction will keep it a secret and not disclose it to others. ”

"Please rest assured that Yongxing Hou has always been the most strict and will never reveal half a word to outsiders."

The headquarters of the Yuncang faction is located in Luoshui City, Gyeonggi County, Liangguo, less than 500 miles away from Jinye, and there should always be a reply in ten days.

Buying and selling human beings is a legal business today, but it is usually not allowed to buy and sell people across borders.

In most cases, the trade of slaves takes place domestically, while there are only two situations of cross-border trade, one is the official level of trading, which designates slaves as goods for trade, such as between Xianguo and Weiguo, and Weiguo often uses slaves as goods for trade.

Second, nobles can buy a certain number of slaves to bring back to their home countries when they go abroad, and if they exceed the quota, they need to pay a ransom, and if they go too much, they are not allowed.

The Yuncang faction's pawn business is all over the mainland, and it has contacts and privileges in various countries, and various countries also ask for loans from the Yuncang faction, and even obtain rare treasures and life-saving medicines, so it is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Yuncang faction to get some people to move to Xianguo.

When talking to Chu Shiyuan, the shopkeeper who didn't change money hurriedly came to the back hall:

"The door owner, just now a person came to be a goods, this thing is not recognized by the subordinates, but it is indeed a little mysterious, the subordinates feel that they may be able to sell it at a good price, but the price of that person is too high, the subordinates can't make up their minds, so they have to come to ask the door owner to decide."

Chu Shiyuan changed his tone of courtesy, and said quite seriously:

"What is it, what is the mystery?"

"It's a musical instrument, but it's neither blowing nor playing, it's like a wooden box, and you just need to shake the handle on the wooden box to make a beautiful sound on its own."

"Oh, and such strange things, what is the price of that man?"

The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said:

"Three hundred inches of silver."

"What, three hundred, what's the origin of this person?"

"A fine cotton shirt, the appearance is ordinary, not like there is any big deal."

"You go and stabilize the man first, and I'll go at once."

"No."
