"From today on, you are the slaves of my retort family, although you are still a slave now, but the people who work have a monthly salary every month, the old man can help the retort family to clean the door, the child can herd cattle and mow the grass, if you don't have a skill, don't worry, the Zhen family has a lot of workshops, as long as you are obedient and work well in the future, no one will beat and scold for no reason. But the ugly words are said first, and whoever has resentment and strange thoughts in his heart will also be beaten to death with a stick! ”

Beat a stick and stuff a candied date, Zhen Qian did not have wishful thinking that slaves would work willingly, and that not working hard and destroying production tools were effective means for slaves, even if they wanted to know with their toes.

The four slaves were very eye-catching, after all, they were from a high-ranking family, and Zhen Qian said in unison as soon as he finished speaking: "Thank you Zhen Dalang!" ”

With Hao Ren threading the needle in the middle, the city supervisor quickly prepared the market scroll (contract) for the sale and purchase of slaves, and after checking that it was correct, the three parties signed and drew a pledge on the market scroll, and even the slave himself had to admit his slave status on the market scroll.

The four slaves who originally wanted 300 guan immediately became 250 guan after giving ten to the city supervisor.

Two hundred and five ......, a number that makes Zhen Qian very entangled!

Seeing that the transaction was completed, Zhen Qian just wanted to leave but was dragged by Hao Ren to another room, "Da Lang, since you are here, what are you busy walking, look at the few Silla maids and orchids I picked for you, if you are not satisfied, then leave?" ”

didn't expect Hao Ren to have the potential of the old bustard, Zhen Qian was not good at ending Hao Ren's face in front of others, and walked into another room half-pushed.

No matter how you look at the place where you buy and sell slaves, you can think of the livestock in captivity, although you buy a lot of slaves, but always when you see the slaves standing in front of you and let others choose, you can't help but think of the young ladies in the bright places of the later generations, the young ladies are dressed up one by one, and the female slaves look sluggish and indifferent, one is active, the other is passive, and there is not much interest at all.

"Is Da Lang still satisfied?"

Zhen Qian has lost interest in these female slaves after just a few glances, they are completely soulless shells, and they are not as good as the young ladies of later generations, who can at least flirt and scold, and will take the initiative to seduce guests, but the female slaves are like sculptures standing there lifeless for people to choose.

Zhen Qian thinks he is a person of taste, and he has not yet reached the point where he needs to inflate the doll.

"These Silla maids are the best goods, if it wasn't for my brother to stay, they would have been robbed by others!"

“…… Dissatisfied? These black pearls are also good, it is difficult to see in other places, the lights are dark at night, and there is no one to see when you see your teeth, if it weren't for the mother-in-law at home who didn't let you bring it into the door, my brother I still want to taste the taste of black pearls! ”

"Orchids are good at singing and dancing, singing and chanting, and Hu Xuan dance and turtle song are even more wonder......ful."

The more Hao Ren spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was preparing to buy slaves and maids, and he was gushing like a few treasures!

Silla is petite and touching, and the later generation of Han Feng Supergirl is not the same style at all, she has to undergo strict training before being sold, and her personality is well-behaved and cowardly, and she really can't find anything wrong with serving people, and she has a unique flavor when she puts it on the boudoir.

Later generations have seen a lot of black pearls, there are a lot of black beauties on movies and television, but the two are not the same thing at all, the black beauties of later generations have been improved for many years, and there is a big difference from African ancestors, the black pearls of the Tang Dynasty are called a real black, if you are an assassin at night, don't wear night clothes, but the body is really strong, you can use it as a docile serf, but if you put it on the bed, I'm afraid you won't find it.

As for the orchid? Most of the later film and television dramas are blonde hair, blue eyes, convex breasts and buttocks, hot figures, and unique beauty, but in fact, the orchids who came to Datang have only one purpose: to make money. Most of the orchids came from Central Asia, and only a very few orchids came from far away Europe, and they had a dissolute and frivolous personality, and they didn't know what XX virus they carried, anyway, Zhen Qian was very worried.

Merely.......

When Zhen Qian's gaze swept over this group of female slaves, he couldn't help but stay on the face of an orchid, this orchid is a little special, blonde hair and blue eyes, different from the generally rough skin of orchids, fair and unusual, and her eyes flickered, you can vaguely feel some different temperaments from her body, there is no sense of frivolity, if it is not for her previous contact with some foreign customers, it is easy to be neglected.

She ...... What is it called", Zhen Qian's gaze met with this orchid in the air, and suddenly there was an unrealistic thought: Barbie doll .......

This orchid was rudely pulled out of the slave girl by the city supervisor: "Her name is Lucia, Tianbao was sold from Central Asia to the Tang Dynasty in ten years, I heard that she was a prisoner of war of Dashi, intercepted by the Sogdians, arrogant and disobedient to discipline, if Da Lang hits, bid twenty times!" ”

Zhen Qian looked at this orchid named Lucia, and an extremely ridiculous idea popped up in his mind, if he wore the clothes of the Barbie doll in the later generations on Lucia, he didn't know what kind of fun it was.

Lucia raised her arrogant and stubborn head and Zhen Qian's gaze directly, she did not have the timidity of other slave girls at all, and she was still like a princess of the European court in later generations.

Is this your own delusion?

"That's her, buy it!"

Hao Ren blinked, completely confused by Zhen Qian, Lucia's appearance is not outstanding in the eyes of Hao Ren and others, blonde hair and blue eyes, slender waistline, bony arms, confused expression, and Tang people's aesthetic views are incompatible, Zhen Qian will not be picky!

"Da Lang, these Silla maids are really good, but they can serve people compared to the two little maids in your family, do you want to change the taste?"

"No, this is good!"

The Tang people regard fat as beauty, and there is a difference of 108,000 miles between Zhen Qian's aesthetic view, which is really difficult to accept for a while.

Lucia saw that Zhen Qian bought herself, and said a few words in nonsense that others couldn't understand.

Returning from the slave market, Hao Ren did not leave immediately, and followed behind Zhen Qian and said, "Da Lang, I heard that you gave a glass treasure mirror to the Ming Mansion yesterday, is this serious?" ”

Zhen Qian nodded, waiting for his next words.

"I heard that the glass mirror is worth 10,000 yuan, we want to see it at a glance, the Ming Mansion wrote a table of auspicious rui overnight, and soon sent it to the capital together with the glass mirror, Da Lang is a person who offers auspicious rui, and he can take care of his brothers one or two in the future!"

Zhen Qian smiled, this matter is really hard to say, a broken mirror, if you can change a title, you will be satisfied, and it is not difficult to hope for anything else.

A woman's heart is a needle, and the emperor's heart is something that ordinary people can figure out, after offering the mirror, Zhen Qian regretted it a little, and he was a little reckless. In case Tang Xuanzong suddenly wanted to track down the source of the treasure mirror, how could he answer, could it be that the treasure mirror was made by himself, wouldn't it be castrated by Tang Xuanzong and stuffed into the inner mansion as a prisoner, and help Tang Xuanzong make damn mirrors for the rest of his life, thinking that he might become a eunuch, he couldn't help but retreat.

···· The following small talk...

Interested readers can take a look at the two books "Tang Dynasty Crossing Guide" and "Tang Dynasty Settlement Guide", which write a lot about the customs and daily life of the Tang Dynasty, which is a very good historical popular science book.

As far as the ancient mining and smelting technology is concerned, China is a country with a lack of gold, silver and copper mining, and even because of the development of the economy, there is iron money, because the weight is too heavy, forcing the ancient working people to invent Jiaozi banknotes, the Ming Dynasty is the biggest failure of ancient banknotes, and the reasons will be discussed later.

Let's talk about the currency of the Tang Dynasty first, the currency of the Tang Dynasty is mainly copper coins and silk silk, and gold and silver are prohibited from circulation (is it difficult to understand), but in fact, in foreign trade, gold and silver are the main currency, mainly the merchants of the Western Regions and the Central Plains to buy and sell, and the northern nomadic tribes trade roughly in the way of barter, even the metal currency is omitted, which is mainly caused by the lack of economic activities on the grassland, only large-scale transactions will trigger the production of metal currency, It is a historical inevitability that the increasingly frequent commodity trading after a millennium has given rise to the emergence of modern paper money.

The large use of gold and silver currency was mainly after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, coupled with the discovery of a large number of gold and silver mines in overseas colonies that were easy to mine, resulting in more than one-third of the world's silver flowing into the Ming and Qing dynasties, creating a commodity circulation and monetary system dominated by silver trading in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Silk silk as currency because of the size of the weight, inconvenient division, difficult to transport and store and other shortcomings from the beginning of the market is not welcome, silk as a currency function also gradually tends to decline, the ancient working people are wise, soon invented the "flying money" and money cabinet this financial tools and means, if you go out to prostitute or something, do not need to pull a car of copper coins and silk silk display, a fluttering "flying money" can solve the disease of the widow.
