Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Chaotic Kyushu Continent
"The slave has seen the master, please say hello to the master!"
The person who came was none other than Chu Bing's old housekeeper Fu Bo, who saw Chu Bing and hurriedly knelt on the ground to say goodbye.
"Hey, get up, get up, Fubo, you're old, don't always kneel in the future."
Chu Bing hurriedly jumped down from Chidi Qianli, helped Fu Bo up, and said.
"Where did the master say, you are the master, I am the slave, and the slave asks the master for peace, which is justified. Not to mention that the slave is not old enough to walk, even if it really comes to that day and sees the master, he will still have to say goodbye! Fauber said with a solemn face.
Look, look, that's what a loyal servant is!
I have to admit that although the ex is a fucked person, this looks good at people.
Some of the connections left for him are very good. Like Guixi and Fubo, they are all loyal and righteous, and they don't have the appearance of other eunuchs who forget their righteousness.
Seventh brother Chu Hong is even more affectionate and righteous to him, even if it is the group of fox friends and dog friends I saw today, although most of them are not successful, but in terms of personality, most of them are loyal people.
At least when King Yu and Lord Nihuang arrived, no one left them and turned to take refuge.
"Fauber, where are you going?"
After a few idle words, Chu Bing asked.
"Back to the master, now that you are crowned king, the specifications of all aspects of the house also need to be mentioned. As you know, we have too few people in our house.
According to the law of Shu, there can be 300 subordinates and 700 soldiers in the prince's mansion, which is a necessary guard of honor.
But we can't even make up a fraction of it at the moment, and this will be the day when you open your house in a few days, how can you open a house so shabby.
Therefore, the minions pondered going to the slave market to buy some subordinates to expand the mansion. No, I heard that a new group of slaves came to the South Market today, so the minions hurried over. Fauber said.
So that's it!
Chu Bing nodded, indicating that he understood.
The manpower of the palace is too small, and it is necessary to expand some more.
"Buying slaves will inevitably require a lot of money. Are there any financial problems in the royal palace? Chu Bing asked.
Fu Bo shook his head and said happily: "Originally, we didn't have much money in the house. But didn't the master let Gui Xiyun come some two days ago, with them, it was more than enough to buy some slaves. ”
Two days ago, Chu Bing asked Guixi to go outside the city to pick up the treasure from Hutou Mountain, and after Guixi got out, he transported it back to the city and rushed to Tianwu Pavilion to report the matter to Chu Bing.
At that time, Chu Bing instructed that the treasure be sold and then charged into the palace treasury for daily expenses.
At this point, it seemed that Fauber was ready to use the money.
Since there is no financial problem and it is necessary to do it, Chu Bing naturally has no opinion.
However, for this slave market, Chu Bing was a little interested.
Speaking of which, as a modern person, I have never heard of this kind of place.
And Chu Bing was also a little confused in his heart, the word slave should be a special product of slave society.
No matter how bad the Kyushu world is, it should have evolved into a feudal society, how could there still be slaves?
Fauber seemed to see the confusion in his heart, and said: "There are frequent wars in Kyushu, and there are many prisoners of war. Rather than killing all these prisoners of war, it is better to reduce them to slavery and save their lives. This is one of the few recognized benevolent policies in Kyushu countries. ”
Being reduced to a slave turned out to be benevolent?!
Well, listening to what Fauber said, it seems to make some sense.
Chu Bing smiled bitterly, and had a deeper understanding of the world he was currently living in.
Although he agreed with Fu Bo's statement, Chu Bing still decided to follow Fu Bo to the slave market to have a look.
On the one hand, he was curious to see what the fabled slave market was like.
On the other hand, it is also because the netizens in the live broadcast room are noisy and want to go over to see it.
There are even a few local tyrants who have given a lot of rewards, since there is nothing to do when I go back to my house now, I want to meet the requirements of netizens, let's go and see it together.
After passing through a few streets, you will enter Minamichi.
After walking a short distance along the southern market, I saw a dilapidated street full of sewage and garbage appeared in front of me.
There are many iron cages on both sides of the street, and there are many people in them, presumably slaves.
"Wow, this is the legendary slave market."
"Damn, this image is dirtier than our garbage dump!"
"Well, the slave market is understandable."
"You say, will the anchor buy a few stunning beauties here? Isn't it all written like this in the novel, as soon as the protagonist arrives at the slave market, he immediately buys a stunning beauty, and from then on the beauty is grateful to Dade! ”
"6666, upstairs is really solved, looking forward to the anchor buying a beauty!"
"If you want the west, buy a hundred, and directly complete the Baimei map task!"
"Hehe, I'm speechless about your IQ, can you buy stunning beauties in a place like Tamar?"
"That is, the kind of situation you are talking about only exists in early novels, and now novels that are a little more reasonable will not arrange this kind of plot."
"If the anchor can buy stunning beauties here, I'm also drunk!"
……
When netizens in the live broadcast room were talking to each other, Chu Bing was also in a lot of situations in Nanshi.
There are not many people in Nanshi, and this part of the slave trade is even more deserted, Chu Bing looked back and forth, counting himself, there were less than ten customers.
In stark contrast to the dense crowd of slaves lining the streets.
This made Chu Bing a little strange, in his thoughts, this slave market should be very lively.
How could this happen?
Fauber said lightly: "Although there are many slaves, in fact there are not many buyers. Slaves are such a thing, the master does not dare to be gullible, generally speaking, buy it back to do some manual work, and send an overseer to supervise it.
The most important thing is that this dynasty implements the law of apportionment into the mu, and the slaves of each province must have the master's family to pay taxes. Therefore, unless necessary, the provinces would not buy slaves in large quantities. ”
"So what is the final destination for so many slaves?" Chu Bing asked.
Fauber said: "Their final destination is mainly the army. ”
"The army?"
"Yes, the value of these slaves is very low, and a tael of silver can buy ten. The army buys them in large quantities and then puts them into all kinds of hard labor or death camps. And then consume it in one war after another. ”
Chu Bing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, such a cruel thing, but he said it so lightly, it really made him difficult to calm down.
He controlled himself to stop thinking about it, there was nothing he could do about it.
Turning his gaze to those slaves, he suddenly found that most of the slaves had bare heads, except for small braids the size of copper coins on the back of their heads.
"This, this, this is ......"
