Chapter 10 Growing Optimism
Huang Shi's action efficiency was really fast, and in the afternoon he came to the True Yang Sect with the slave traders.
From this detail, Wang Rui knew his ability to do things and the importance he attached to the instructions he gave.
So he immediately introduced the two of them to the True Yang Sect Sect Hall, and after they sat down, Wang Rui comforted: "It's very hard to go back and forth, so it's really hard for the two of you this time." ”
"Originally, this matter was proposed by me, and since I was entrusted by Sect Master Wang, I am naturally obliged. Huang Shi smiled, and then he introduced the two sides in person.
It turned out that this man with a short stature and a wealthy face was named Zhang Jun, and he was the only one in Mufeng City who was engaged in the slave trade.
Zhang Jun looks similar to Huang Shi in his age, both of them are in their forties, and the two met not because they had a business relationship with each other, but because of a fate.
It was precisely because of this fate that Zhang Jun was willing to accept Huang Shi's opinion and came to the True Yang Sect.
"Mr. Zhang has worked hard this time, and I hope to forgive me if there is anything that is not well treated. Wang Ruichao said to Zhang Jun, who was sitting in the guest seat.
"Sect Master Wang doesn't have to be polite, I've already heard Brother Huang say the general situation, this deal is not small, I naturally want to come over to talk about it in person. Zhang Jun nodded.
"Okay, then let's do without further ado, for some reason I need the number of 100 people, the ratio of men and women is ninety-one, I don't know if Mr. Zhang can provide it?" Wang Rui asked.
"Although there are people, but the ratio is a bit troublesome. Zhang Jun frowned slightly.
"Oh?"
Seeing Wang Rui's puzzled face, Zhang Jun said helplessly: "Since ancient times, disputes on the mainland have not stopped, especially between countries, where battles often break out. ”
"Prisoners on the battlefield, people who have lost their country, this is one of the necessary conditions for us slave traders to gain a foothold. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jun couldn't help but sigh, and continued to say slowly: "After the death of the first emperor of the Taozhen Great Kingdom, the crown prince succeeded to the throne, but the prince was full of ambition and launched a large-scale encroachment on the surrounding neighbors. ”
"In just a few years, two neighboring countries were wiped out, and their wrists were iron-blooded, and all the royal families of the enemy countries and those who served on the battlefield were slaughtered, and few prisoners were left, so this led to a sharp decrease in male **. ”
After hearing this, Wang Rui couldn't help but secretly say, no matter what world it is, it seems that this is an unchanging iron rule.
It's not good to force the other party again.
"I already understand the situation, since Mr. Zhang has difficulties, I will naturally be accommodating, I don't know how much you can compare?"
"Thank you Sect Master Wang for your understanding, so I will try my best to match seventy-three, and at the same time, because I can't meet the requirements of the sect master, I will sell these hundred slaves at a special price, looking forward to the next cooperation. ”
Zhang Jun said.
As a businessman, he knows very well what he should give and what he deserves, and through this seemingly loss-making move, he can win the trust of his guests and establish a long-term cooperative relationship.
Wang Rui naturally had no reason to refuse, although it was a little different from his expected request, but it was not big overall.
"Then Mr. Lao Zhang bothered. Wang Rui said with a smile.
"Where, then I will take my leave, and I will arrange for the slaves to be escorted over in the evening, and I will tell him if there is any problem then." ”
......
At night, the people arranged by Zhang Jun really sent a hundred slaves over.
Looking at the group of people standing outside the main hall, dressed in rags and wearing handcuffs and anklets, Wang Rui felt really pitiful.
"Sect Master Wang and a hundred slaves have been brought in the same way. At this time, a tall man wearing a leather whip at his waist stepped forward and handed Wang Rui a bunch of keys at the same time.
"Good work. ”
While taking over the set of keys, Wang Rui handed over the golden ticket to the man according to the price negotiated with Zhang Jun in advance.
After sending the group of escorts away, Wang Rui asked Xu Chen and a few people to uncuff the group of slaves.
The imaginary collective resistance and escape did not happen, but everyone present focused on Wang Rui.
"Do you want to regain your freedom and get rid of your slave status?" asked Wang Rui with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they looked at each other, obviously most of this group of people had already accepted their fate, not only failed to react, but even thought they had heard it wrong.
"My lord, is what you said true?" asked a rugged-looking man in the prime of life, stepping forward, and then asked with hope.
The others who reacted quickly all looked at Wang Rui with burning eyes, anxiously waiting for an answer, hoping that this was not a tragic joke.
"The place where you are is the True Yang Sect in the Pingyang Mountain Domain, and I am the Sect Master of the True Yang Sect, Wang Rui, so as long as you worship under my sect, you can do it. Wang Rui replied.
"Join, I'll join!" the young man led by him hurriedly shouted excitedly after hearing this.
Immediately after that, others also expressed their opinions, and it became noisy for a while.
"Everyone be quiet, there are three conditions to worship my True Yang Sect, one of which must have considerable qualifications, the second is not bad, and the third is that loyalty to the sect cannot be double-minded. ”
"But the situation has changed now, I see that you are in a good life, displaced, and even reduced to slavery, I can't help but feel compassion and decide to unconditionally incorporate you into the True Yang Sect. ”
When Wang Rui said this, he first circled the rules and terms, and then empathized with the personal misery of this group of people, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring.
"Thank you Sect Master Wang for your great kindness!"
The slaves were so moved that they swore blood on the spot to prove their loyalty.
Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction, and the situation was very optimistic.
What is the saying?
If villains are hated, then the evil orators are the most damned, because their words can always easily stir people's hearts at critical moments.
Next, Wang Rui made a simple arrangement, and asked Yan Fu and Huang Shi to rush to the Moon Peak in the south with seventy strong men, and start the rapid construction of the Dan Pavilion.
As for the remaining thirty women, he took a cursory glance and found that they were all very young, so he arranged to be in charge of the odd work within the sect.
In this way, the True Yang Sect, which was rarely popular, finally began to operate normally.
All that remains is to hold on steadily, constantly strengthen and expand the strength, and at the same time, considering the completion of the Dan Pavilion, where should the person in charge of refining the pill go to find it?
The person who entrusted Zhu Fatzi to find, whether it was character or level, he was not at ease.
Five days was imminent, and he was at a loss, so he walked along the mountain path and thought of a solution.
Before he knew it, he found himself walking to a wide stream.
The murmuring of the stream, clear as a stream, and the reflection of the hooked moon in the sky, combined with the quiet night scene around it, seems to be able to sweep away the irritability in the heart.
He couldn't help but play, picked a rock on the spot, and floated towards the stream.
I only heard the pleasant sound of the stones as they crossed the water.
"Hmm......"
"What's the sound?"
Wang Rui obviously heard a strange sound, as if it was a soft groan from a human being.
He looked intently across the stream, but it was dim and he couldn't see anything.
So he picked up a stone again and threw it in the opposite direction, and soon there was a sound that sounded like it had hit something.
"Could it be a beast?" he was a little apprehensive, but finally he couldn't contain his curiosity, and waded through the stream towards the opposite side.
When he got closer, he found that it was a young woman dressed in black, but she didn't seem to be doing well now, slumped on the gravel-covered shore, and had a little consciousness left.
"Who......" The woman asked in a low voice, sensing someone approaching.
"I'm Wang Rui, the Sect Master of the True Yang Sect, who are you, how did you fall here?"
