"Let's go, don't think nonsense, I'm reluctant to give you away!" Seeing Yuechan's pale face, Li Xiu stepped forward and patted her little head and said with a smile, except for Qi Niang, Yuechan and Liu Er are his closest people, and he has never been in the habit of giving the people around him as gifts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yuechan turned from worry to joy, she had already cultivated great trust in Li Xiu, so as long as Li Xiu said that she would not give her away, then she didn't have to worry about it anymore, speaking of which, since she was exiled to the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiu has become the most reliable person in her heart.

The West Market is very lively, the Persians, the Western Regions, the Tianzhu people, etc. can be seen everywhere, goods from all over the world are distributed here, the wide streets are also full of various stalls on both sides, the goods on the stalls are everything, only you can't think of it, there is nothing that you can't find here, of course, this does not include Li Xiu, there are no things he wants here, such as computers, TVs and mobile phones, etc., sometimes he really misses a certain treasure in the future, that is the real convenience, as long as you have money in the card, there is almost nothing that cannot be bought.

In contrast, Yuechan seems to be much more unproductive, she is shocked when she sees something, there is no such lively place in her hometown, and after coming to Chang'an, she has been sent to the Yeting Palace, and there is no chance to go out at all, and now it is the first time to see the prosperity of Chang'an, so she naturally has a sense of dazzle.

"Look, sir, is that Hu man leading a camel?" Yuechan excitedly pulled Li Xiu's arm and pointed not far away and shouted, the poor baby has never even seen a camel until now, and can only barely identify it from the twin peaks on the camel's back, but she doesn't dare to confirm it yet.

"Yes, this is a Bactrian camel, and it is said that there is also a dromedary camel, and the main reason why the camel can keep moving forward in the desert without eating or drinking is because the mountain peaks on its back store a lot of nutrients and water." Li Xiu explained with a smile.

These know or learned from the zoo in later generations, but the urban management of Chang'an, no, it should be called Wuhou is too weak, not only can you see all kinds of stalls everywhere on the street, but also all kinds of large animals on the street are not cared for, the camel in front of you is not counted, and there is even a leopard squatting behind the buttocks of the nobles swaggering through the market, making it look like the Middle Eastern tyrants of later generations, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are nouveau riche.

Through the crowded crowd, and finally came to the mule and horse market in the west market, the outermost layer here is a place to sell all kinds of livestock, in addition to horses, ploughing cattle, donkeys and other common livestock, there are also camels, leopards and other relatively rare animals, it is worth mentioning here that the nobles of Chang'an like to bring leopards instead of hunting dogs when hunting, so just now Li Xiu will see some nobles with a leopard lying on their buttocks.

Passing through the periphery of the mule and horse market, Li Xiu and the others finally came to the real human market, only to see that the pattern here is almost no different from the mule and horse market outside, the streets are all circles of fences on both sides, but the fence is no longer enclosed by all kinds of livestock, but a living person, these are all waiting for the sale of the population, according to the race, age, gender, etc., these waiting for the sale of the population are divided into various fences, the price of people in the same fence is the same.

As soon as she arrived, Yuechan hugged Li Xiu's arm tightly, and her little face was also a little nervous, which couldn't blame her for being timid, in fact, Li Xiu didn't feel very comfortable after coming here, because she saw that the people waiting for sale in the fence looked numb one by one, looking at the guests who came and went with empty eyes, even when they were pulled out by traffickers to explain his characteristics in public, these people didn't have any reaction, they looked like they were living dead.

"Master, let's ...... Are we really going to buy these people back? Yuechan hugged Li Xiu's arm nervously and said, not caring at all that her already considerable chest was pressed on Li Xiu's arm, which made people feel itchy in their hearts.

"I don't want to buy these people, but I can't find any servants anywhere else besides here!" Li Xiu also said helplessly, he thought he was a person with a conscience, but here in the human market, all conscience has been extinguished, and seeing the same kind being sold as goods, this has broken the bottom line of conscience.

After all, Li Xiu's psychological tolerance is much stronger, at the moment he endured the discomfort in his heart and looked at the people waiting to sell on both sides of the street, only to see that there was a wooden sign hanging on each fence door, which was a description of the population to be sold: Goguryeo, Silla, Turkic, etc., and even Li Xiu saw that several fences were all black, with Kunlun slaves written on them, but most of these traffickers who sold Kunlun slaves were Persians, and only they could transport Kunlun slaves to the Tang Dynasty from overseas.

Everywhere you see are some alien races, but the Han people are very rare, but it is not surprising to think about it, after the war in the Tang Dynasty, the population of the country has decreased greatly, and the number of people in each state capital is lacking in the people, and the number of people under the rule is still one of the assessment items of officials at all levels, so the population under the rule is very strict, unless it is a particularly serious famine, it will lead to many people have to sell their sons and daughters, and even the government can not control the loss of population at that time.

There are no Han people in the market, Li Xiu is happy and a little worried, he doesn't want to buy a few foreigners to go home, after all, it's not my race, no one knows what they think in their heads, and language is also a big problem, if you can't communicate when you buy it, then it's better not to buy it.

But just when Li Xiu was worried, he suddenly saw a young guy running up to him very enthusiastically, and saluted respectfully: "This son, may I ask what kind of slaves you want to buy, whether it is Silla maid or Kunlun slave, the little one can help you find the best!" ”

Hearing the words of this little guy, Li Xiu understood that the other party was an idler in the city, that is, the earliest intermediary, they were all people who had been in the market all the year round, and they usually used their familiarity with the city to help guests find the slaves they needed, and collect a little benefit fee from them, sometimes they didn't even have to give money, they only needed to take care of their meal, and they would work very hard to help you introduce.

"My lord doesn't buy slaves, he just wants to buy a few subordinates, he wants subordinates who can work, don't use those who don't like it to prevaricate my lord, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat!" Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Yuechan next to her took the lead, and the intimidation behind was only appropriate for her to speak.

"Master, don't worry, the little Pan Ren is also the number one person in this city, and he will definitely not prevaricate with useless people, but if you want to buy a subordinate to work, you have come to the wrong place, if you believe the villain, then follow me a few more steps, and you will soon find the person you need!" This Pan Ren patted his chest and assured at the moment.

"Okay, lead the way!" Li Xiu was also a good person in the business field in his previous life, and he saw that this Pan Ren didn't look like he was lying, so he nodded and agreed, at the moment Pan Ren was walking in front, Li Xiu and Yuechan followed behind, and as a result, he walked out for a few hundred meters, and suddenly a small square opened space appeared in front of him, and there were not many fences in the open space as before, but a bunch of people gathered in groups of three or five, among which some of them had grass marks on their heads, which looked very peculiar.

"Look, sir, the grass labels here are self-selling people, and they are generally followed by their families, these people are generally in trouble at home and can't survive, so they have to sell themselves, you can ask the other party's household registration when you sell, so as to ensure that the other party will not run away in the future, as for those foreigners like before, all of them are useless goods, and only some big nobles will buy some young women to go back to relieve boredom, and work depends on these people who sell themselves." Pan Ren opened his mouth at this time.

"That's reasonable, I need four to six servant girls in my family, you can help us pick them, if my master is satisfied, there will be your benefits!" Yuechan spoke again at this time, although she was very nervous in this environment, but with Li Xiu here, she also felt that she had a backbone in her heart, so she was much bolder, and she could already take on the role of a housekeeper.

"With me Pan Ren here, you can just take a look!" Pan Ren heard Yuechan's assurance, and immediately patted his chest again and promised, and then he took Li Xiu and they began to walk around the crowd, and soon saw a suitable girl, followed by a middle-aged man who looked honest, probably the girl's father.

"Is this your daughter?" Pan Ren had Li Xiu's support, and walked up to the other party very confidently and asked.

"Well, it's my daughter, the youngest in the family is seriously ill, so I can only sell her for medicine money, begging the master to have mercy!" The middle-aged man glanced at him when he heard Pan Ren's words, and then immediately pleaded with Li Xiu behind him, tears and snot all flowed out at once, looking very pitiful.

"Don't be in a hurry to cry yet, let me ask you, where is your home?" Pan Ren was unmoved.

"Villain...... The villain is from Donghuangzhuang in the western suburbs! The middle-aged man straightened up and wiped away his tears.

"Donghuangzhuang? I know this Zhuangzi, is there a pig-killing old seven in your Zhuangzi, who often gets drunk like mud? Pan Ren asked again.

"Yes~Yes! There was a pig killer named Lao Qi, who was drunk and slept on the street the day before yesterday! The middle-aged man who sold his daughter immediately nodded and replied, with an extremely sure look on his face.

Hearing this, Pan Ren immediately snorted coldly and turned around and left, but the middle-aged man behind him hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he hurriedly called twice, but unfortunately Pan Ren didn't even pay attention to it, which made Yuechan ask Li Xiu very strangely: "Master, what the hell is this Pan Ren doing, why did he suddenly change his face and leave?" ”

"Hehe, this Pan Ren is a bit interesting, he should help us find the right person!" Li Xiu said with a smile at the moment, he had already understood Pan Ren's intentions, but he didn't expect that there were also liars in the market, and his acting skills were so clever, people who didn't know the inside story were afraid that they would really be fooled.

At that moment, Li Xiu pulled Yuechan to continue to follow Pan Ren, but he didn't notice that just a few steps after they walked out, Yuechan inadvertently swept through the crowd, and suddenly her face changed greatly, and then she immediately buried her face behind Li Xiu like a little quail, and her expression was also full of anxiety.
