Buyeo Wangcheng is well planned, except for the city wall, there is almost no gap between the degree of economic development and planning in Buyeo and the Dahan City. (Pinyin for biqi u)

The buildings are all made of wood, and the markets, residences, taverns, and inns are all in good order, and there is no chaos.

When Yang Xi and his entourage entered the bazaar, they saw that there were many shops on both sides of the street, and there were many small traders and vendors sitting on the ground, or setting up some wooden planks at will, on which were placed the animal skins and household utensils they sold.

One thing is different from the Central Plains, this Buyeo country can actually sell weapons on the street. Also, there is no prohibition on private buying and selling of salt.

There is a kind of tree in Buyeo country, which is two feet tall and has thick trunks and strong branches. The summer is scorching, but it is covered with light frost, looking at it from a distance, a pair of jade ice muscles, carefully observed, but it is a layer of condensed salt frost, and the taste is not inferior to refined salt.

The Buyeong people take the salt from the trees, thinking that they are used to eat salt on weekdays, and salt is not a rare thing for the Buyeong people.

Yang Xi deliberately brought a Xianbei soldier who knew the Buyeo language and asked about the price of salt, but it was not expensive, and it was impossible to make a fortune here with salt.

However, steel is a scarce thing here, and an ordinary iron knife is ridiculously expensive.

However, agricultural products in various places are not expensive, so there is a large surplus of grain in the land, and the slave owners store a lot of grain, but the slaves rely on the slave owners to survive, and the business is extremely underdeveloped.

Yang Xi and his party were walking, and suddenly there was a loud shouting in front of them, but Yang Xi didn't understand, and asked the Xianbei warrior, but it turned out that there was a market for all kinds of livestock, and Yang Xi walked over.

After walking in, it really stinks, but what makes Yang Xi speechless is that it doesn't matter what horses, cows, and raisers trade here, but even people are traded here.

Next to the livestock market, there is a wooden platform of about seventy or eighty square meters, on which it is actually an auction venue for slaves, and the noise at this moment is from this.

"Childe, this slave auction is a slave auction that is of better quality and can be sold at a good price, so it will be auctioned, but ordinary slaves are traded directly in the slave circle next to it."

Yang Xi led everyone to squeeze over, and sure enough, behind the crowd, there were some fences like pigsties, but inside the fences, there were some naked people with wooden signs.

These men wore only a four-horned animal skin or a rag, both men and women.

Before Yang Xi came out, he also put on local clothes, but he couldn't see any difference, but his temperament was different after all, and there were slave traders who came up to greet him, but Yang Xi didn't understand, so he had to pretend to be high and order the Xianbei soldiers to communicate.

It turns out that there are many kinds of slaves, the price of female slaves is lower, basically five sheep can be exchanged for one, and the price of male slaves is twice as high, and the price of ten sheep is required.

This is the average price, and there is another kind that has a slave brand on its face, which is cheaper. Because in order to facilitate the purchase and sale, slave owners generally only hang tags on slaves, but some unruly ones, as long as they escape once, will use a soldering iron to mark their faces.

This kind of nature is worthless, and everyone knows that it is difficult to manage.

Yang Xi was secretly stunned, there were two or three hundred slaves here who were buying and selling.

Slave society, simply.

These were still in the market, and there was more slave trade, which existed with various slave owners.

Qin Qing was behind Yang Xi, looking at these slaves, his face turned red.

"What? Haven't seen it? Yang Xi quipped.

"I've seen it, male soldier training, sometimes it's the same, but you see those female slaves, they are also naked, and those masters are simply unreasonable!" Qin Qing faced Yang Xi, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly.

"Black girl, you have to remember that in this world, existence is the truth, but this kind of existence, we can change all this through our thoughts and strength. This is no wonder to anyone, not their masters, and not to blame themselves, this is a necessary stage of social progress, and the Central Plains was the same as here hundreds of years ago, and there was no difference. ”

"Childe, can you buy them all and rescue them?"

"Not now! Do things, have a plan, I rescued them today, and tomorrow their brothers and sisters will enter here. What I want to save is all, so there must be a strategy, go! Let's go back, and I'm probably already clear. ”

Yang Xi and the others walked back, and after walking a few steps, they found that one person was selling two little tigers, but it was a stall set up by a hunter here.

Yang Xi bought it and prepared to take it back to the south.

Back at the camp, Yang Xi called Que Ji and began to analyze.

"The population of this Buyeo country is now about 40,000 households are registered, but it does not include slaves, only free people and slave owners, of which slave owners account for 30%, about 10,000 households, and each household has at least 10 slaves, and many are thousands. In other words, there are actually more than 500,000 slaves in Buyeo country. We are here to buy a large number of slaves, and after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce here, we will set up a special slave purchase and training department, and you will arrange it. ”

"Yes! Son! But there is one point, these slaves, but there is no specific treatment plan. ”

"I want to establish a separate system for Buyeo slaves, and all slaves who are purchased and brought back, either for the construction of this subway track and station, or transported back to Daxianbei City, must be trained. Those who have worked for more than one year can get out of slavery and become citizens of our Chenhe Chamber of Commerce and called hired workers, and so on slowly. According to my estimate, when the slaves here are converted into one or two percent, there will be a trend of price increases, and it doesn't matter, then it will be a year or two later, the world will change, and in a year or two, who knows what will happen, and then I have my own way of coping. ”

"Good! When he returned to Daxianbei City this time, his subordinates and Governor Su participated in the detailed section in detail, and then submitted it to Yu Gongzi for approval. ”

--

On the second day, Yang Xi led 30 people from Tianhan's escort team, Ling Tong, Que Ji and more than 10 people in charge of the specific person in charge of Fuyu to enter the king's tent to participate in the banquet.

Naturally, there were only two people who could sit down, Yang Xi and Que Ji, except for the two personal guards Tian Han and Ling Tong, the rest were waiting outside the king's tent.

Fuyu Wang Wei Qiutai is an eight-foot tall man, slightly fat, and has his own majesty, and he does not pose as the lord of a country to Yang Xi.

After the greetings, Wei Qiutai raised the wine bottle and said to Yang Xi with a big smile: "Yang Chenhe, the president of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce who is powerful today, came to my Fuyu, so that my Fuyu country is full of glory, please drink this cup." ”

Wei Qiutai said, he actually drank himself first, and the rest of the more than ten officials of the other Buyeo also drank wine.

Yang Xi sighed secretly, I haven't tried whether this wine is poisonous or not, but the third princess sitting next to him nodded slightly to Yang Xi, Yang Xi knew that he was fine, and he also drank the wine.

Yang Xi believed that Buyeo would never dare to do anything to him, if he hadn't heard of the power of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, how could he form an alliance with him.

After drinking for a long time, Yang Xi finally got to the point, and Yang Xi said that he would set up a branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Buyeo Wangcheng and set up a station outside the city.

This railway, by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce to pay for the money, but the land, but by the Buyeo country, Buyeo country accounted for forty percent of the rail car income, the specific management rights, under the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce operation.

And Yang Xi proposed that although the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the manpower required to build the railroad tracks, the Buyeo State must allow the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce to buy slaves in Buyeo, otherwise the manpower would also be a trouble.

Wei Qiutai listened to Yang Xi's proposal and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

With this confirmation, Yang Xi said: "Regarding the matter of the strategic alliance, I propose that my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce can garrison troops outside the royal city, and if the southern Gongsun Kang comes to attack, it can be used as a horn for the Fuyu Wangcheng army at any time." ”

When Yang Xi said this, more than ten people on the opposite side suddenly began to whisper.

Yang Xi looked at the six people sitting in the front row, and four of them seemed to object. These six people are the six pluses, and the ones who objected, Yang Xi didn't have to think about it to know that they were the other four plus in addition to Ma Jia and Ji Jia.
