Chapter 18: The Horse Thief's Eyeliner
"If you buy them all, how much silver will you need for a Han slave."
"Ten taels of silver, it must not be high."
"Then you go and call the boss here."
Hanik pushed through the crowd like a loach and went to find the trafficker boss here, to be honest, Yun Mo couldn't wait to cut the trafficker boss in two with a knife at this time, how could the Han people be slaves, but their own strength was not enough, so they could only endure it for the time being.
"This young master, are you going to buy these slaves?"
A fat man from the Western Regions, flashing with a pair of cunning little eyes, dripping up and down Yun Mo's body.
Yun Mo doesn't know martial arts, he can only use crossbow arrows, but the temperament of modern people, in ancient times, is comparable to the temperament of a prince, and this temperament can't be pretended.
"Shopkeeper, I want all of you Han slaves, regardless of men, women and children, old and young, old, weak, sick and disabled, bid!"
After looking at Yun Mo, the traffickers in the Western Regions thought in their hearts that Yun Mo must be a Han with a background and background, listening to Yun Mo's accent, it seemed that he came from the Great Song Dynasty, and without figuring out the background of the guest official in front of him, it was better not to rip off the guest.
"Young master, I have more than 300 slaves here, if you want them all, give 4,000 taels of silver!" This is definitely a conscience price. ”
"Three thousand."
"Three Thousand Eight"
"Three thousand five, no more."
"Alright! For the sake of the young master's extraordinary might, the little old man lost his blood once. ”
Yun Mo just smiled faintly, the traffickers will lose their blood, and they will laugh out of their big teeth if they say it.
"Uncle Chen, give him silver!"
Paying money with one hand and handing over people with the other, a group of fierce and vicious dogs drove the group of dull-eyed, ragged Han slaves out of the sheepfold like sheep.
"Hurry up, hurry away...... You will be the slaves of this young master from now on. ”
After the glazed Han people were driven out of the sheepfold, they were all terrified, and after they saw that Yun Mo, the owner, was a Han Chinese, their mood was slightly better.
Here and now, it is superfluous to say anything, what to say and what to do, wait until you return to the grape ditch!
"Hanik, you go and ask again, if anyone has Han slaves, I will ask for them all."
Hanik, who is familiar with the way, is like a fish in water in the slave market, and in the time of half a pillar of incense, he helped Yun Mo find more than a dozen human traffickers and more than a hundred Han slaves, and was rescued by Li Zimo.
A group of ragged Han female soldiers, surrounded by a young man with outstanding temperament, and bought more than 500 Han slaves as soon as they made a move, in this case, they couldn't even attract people's attention.
The onlookers from the Western Regions had already begun to quietly inquire about the news, but no one knew the origin of Yun Mo and their group, these people from the Western Regions were also human spirits, and they were also in awe of the unknown.
They can't be fearful! Although this group of female soldiers was ragged, each of them had a red tassel gun, a steel knife hanging from their waists, and a large crossbow and dozens of crossbow arrows on their backs, which was stronger than the army of Gao Changguo.
Since the death of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Hui, and have occupied the Western Regions, in this hundred years of mutual attack and killing, at this time the Western Regions has completely lost order, everyone believes in the law of the strong and the law of the strong.
Yun Mo's martial arts made the onlookers from the Western Regions watch silently, even if they had any thoughts in their hearts, they could only figure out Yun Mo's background.
The Han slaves arrived, but Yun Mo exchanged green salt for 3,000 catties of grain, which was only enough for more than 600 people to eat for a few days, Yun Mo seized more than 8,000 taels of silver from horse thieves, spent more than 5,000 taels to buy slaves, and spent more than 3,000 taels to buy cloth, medicinal herbs, livestock, etc.
Isn't there still more than a hundred pounds of jewelry? took this jewelry to Tongtai Pawnshop to exchange money, but the people of the Western Regions of Tongtai Pawnshop were only willing to pay the price of one floor.
These jewels were bought by Yun Mo and dozens of female soldiers in exchange for their lives, how could Yun Mo do such a stupid deal.
Pick out gold jewelry, gold is hard currency at all times, even if it is not a manual cost, it is worth by weight, it is better than giving it to a pawnshop.
Yun Mo carried more than ten catties of gold jewelry, and went to Yalikun to buy grain, the grain in the Western Regions is notoriously expensive, five taels of silver and one stone without discount.
More than ten catties of gold jewelry, from where Yalikun got 300 stone of grain, Yalikun took the profiteers as long as they sold these gold jewelry, they could immediately earn half of the money, of course, this money also went into his private pocket.
Fortunately, the profiteer Yarikun suddenly found out in his conscience, and when he saw that Yun Mo had no means of transportation, he gave ten carriages to Yun Mo.
With so much wealth, as long as the horse thieves knew about it, they would definitely flock to it, and after Yun Mo had let everyone eat, he immediately took dozens of carriages and left Jiaohe City overnight.
The chains on the feet of all the slaves were all removed by Yun Mo, and there was no time to reason with them, Yun Mo only told them:
"I am also Han, I am your compatriot, I am here to save you, you are not my slaves, you are free people, I will definitely take you home in the future.
But now, we are in the Western Regions, surrounded by wolves, and we have no choice but to be in the same boat, so please take up your sharpened sticks and defend the food on which we depend. ”
These Han slaves, here and now, have no other way but to choose to believe in Yun Mo, and they don't want to be locked up in the sheepfold anymore.
A group of ragged Han people, driving dozens of carriages, staggered through the pale moonlight of the Western Regions, they did not dare to stop, gritted their teeth and went to the grape ditch.
Miles behind them, several Westerners on horseback quietly followed them, the deep wheels so obvious in the moonlight, the traces of the wheels winding forward in the moonlight.
Yun Mo didn't want to attract the attention of others, he also wanted to develop quietly, but this was impossible, today's buying of grain and people attracted the peeps of some people from the Western Regions.
By the evening of the next day, Yun Mo finally returned to Grape Gully with more than 500 slaves and dozens of wagons of supplies, and the entire Grape Gully immediately fell into a sea of joy.
Yellow, orange, and orange corn, soft cloth, fragrant medicinal herbs, and so much horse meat, and more importantly, the leader brought back more than 500 Han Chinese, which was a grand occasion for the entire tribe for decades.
Zhang Ying, a girl from the Han family, trotted in front of Yun Mo and asked shyly:
"Xianggong, hard work."
In ancient times, unlike modern people, lovers met and hugged and kissed, and Zhang Ying showed up like this, all because of the situation, if in the Great Song Dynasty, it was impossible for lovers to meet each other.
Yun Mo shook his head, saying that he was not hard, he looked around first, and after making sure that there was no one else around, he whispered to Yingzi:
"Yingzi, this time we went out, and we met more than a hundred horse thieves on the road, fortunately we have a powerful Shenwei crossbow, and most of the more than a hundred horse thieves were annihilated, and these materials and people were purchased with the seized money.
The horse thieves who escaped will surely come to take revenge, and those who spy on our wealth will surely come and take advantage of the fire, and I estimate that these people will be there in three days at the latest, and from tomorrow onwards, everyone will be involved in the construction of the defensive wall. ”
At this time, Yun Mo has become the backbone of Yingzi, and of course it is also the backbone of the remnants of the Han people.
