Chapter Twenty-Three: The State of Qin is not a tiger wolf
Handan, Nanshi, Qin Yiren took Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong to walk on the street.
"Childe, this is already a human market, Childe, are you going to go to the green walk?" Meng Zhao looked around, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
"Green Walk?" Qin Yiren saw Meng Zhao's smile in his eyes, nodded and said, "You have been coming to Zhao Kingdom with my son for several years, and you have never touched a woman. ”
Meng Zhao, Ma Gai and Fan Tong's eyes lit up, although they were shaking their heads, they were looking forward to it.
What man doesn't want a woman? If you do, it only means that you are not normal.
"Think beautifully!" Qin Yiren hit them and said, "Go to the black line." ”
"Black line?" Meng Zhao and the others were a little disappointed.
"Don't be discouraged, you may meet a lovely slave girl." Qin Yiren teased and took the lead, and Meng Zhao and the three of them hurriedly followed.
During the Warring States Period, the human market was divided into "green lines" and "black lines".
The green line refers to a prostitute who is engaged in the skin and meat business. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong carried out reforms in the Qi State, and in order to increase taxes, he opened up tax sources and hit the prostitutes with his ideas. Gather together the prostitutes who are in the leather and meat business, let her open the door to pick up customers, and collect taxes.
Because the house where the prostitutes lived at that time was built with green bamboo, over time, this line of work was called "green walk".
Later generations called the red apricot out of the wall "cuckold", which is probably derived from this.
The black trade refers to the slave trade. Because slaves would have a black mark on their foreheads, hence the name.
"Childe, what are you going to do in the black shop?" Meng Zhao asked puzzled.
"We're too few people, it's time to add more." Qin Yiren wanted to establish his own power.
If Qin Yiren wants to return to the Qin State and ascend to the throne of the King of Qin, he must become famous, and once he becomes famous, he will be a big man, and someone will definitely deal with him. At that time, if he does not have a force of his own, he will not be able to protect himself.
He wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't have the money, so he kept dragging it out. Now, he has blackmailed Pingyuan Jun and Xinling Jun and got thousands of gold, it is time to put this matter on the agenda.
The reason why it has been delayed until now is because I have been fighting in the Colosseum these days, and I have grown a lot. One by one, the way of civil and martial arts, Qin Yiren has been fighting for these days, and he also wants to rest for a while. Take this opportunity to do this, and then come to the black line.
"The son is the grandson of the king, and there are only three of us in and out, this is not good, it is time to add some manpower." Margay was the first to agree.
After all, Wang Sun is Wang Sun, and he has to be hugged before and after entering and leaving, and Meng Zhao and the three of them are too few.
"Childe, you want to buy slaves, right? It's a great idea. Fan Tong reminded him, "However, the loyalty of the slaves cannot be guaranteed, and if they are in trouble, the disaster will not be small." ”
The issue of loyalty is a big problem, you must know that these slaves are not from the Qin State, they are not loyal to the Qin people, if this matter is not solved, everything is empty talk.
"I have my own ideas." Qin Yiren had already thought about this. If he didn't have an idea, he wouldn't have taken that risk.
"Childe, what kind of slave are you buying?" Meng Zhao asked.
"Tall and strong, suitable for martial arts." If Qin Yiren wants to build a force that can protect himself, he naturally has to take the lead by force.
"The slaves in this house are good, let's go in and have a look." Meng Zhao was very familiar with this place, and pointed to the slave line in front of him.
Qin Yiren and the others entered, and the black merchant who was engaged in slave trading hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face, and said, "I don't know what kind of slave Gongzi wants?" My slave girl here is especially good, she has a good look, she can sing and dance, and she is easy to manipulate, and she can pose whatever she wants. ”
"Childe doesn't want a female slave, he wants a tall and strong male slave." Meng Zhao went straight to the point: "Do you think that my son-in-law is as unkind as you, and he will torture the female slave if he has nothing to do?" ”
How did I torture the slave girl? Slave girls don't torture and don't obey, I do black business, don't I rely on this to make money? The black merchant's nose and eyes were crowded, very unhappy, and he didn't dare to refute.
"Your slave boys here, their families are here, right?" Qin Yiren asked.
"In!" The black merchant hurriedly replied.
"That's good. Bring all the sturdy male slaves with you. Qin Yiren commanded and said, "How many come and how many." ”
Qin Yiren wants to build his own strength, of course, the more people the better, he is not too much, only too little.
"I've met the gold owner." The black merchant smiled all over his face, secretly thinking that he was going to make a lot of money today, and commanded his subordinates around, and after a while, all the male slaves were brought.
Qin Yiren looked at it, there were a total of more than a dozen male slaves, and there were a few tall and sturdy ones, but they couldn't get into Qin Yiren's eyes, and only one male slave Qin Yiren was satisfied.
"Will you go with me?" Qin Yiren asked at the male slave.
"The master will go wherever he says." The slave man smiled wryly.
A slave is nothing but the property of the slave owner, but a tool, and without personal freedom, he just does not want to do it.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Qin Yiren smiled slightly.
Slaves are used to force, forcing slaves to be cattle and horses, Qin Yiren's statement is too novel, more than a dozen male slaves and black businessmen are all curious, and their faces are surprised.
"Listening to the accent of the child, it doesn't look like a Handan person, I don't know where the fairy town is?" The black merchant asked curiously.
"This son is a Qin person, a tiger wolf Qin person!" Qin Yiren's chest was straightened, his head was raised, and he replied loudly.
Although many people scolded the Qin State as a country of tigers and wolves, however, with the memory of his predecessor, Qin Yiren was proud of the Qin people.
"Are you Qin?" The black merchant was very surprised.
"The Qin people are not tigers and wolves!"
"Qin Guo is not a tiger wolf!"
More than a dozen male slaves said in unison, their eyes shining with hope, and they were extremely eager.
Since Qin Yiren came to the Warring States Period, I don't know how many people scolded him for being a tiger and a wolf, but he had never spoken like these slaves, and he couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Gongzi doesn't know anything, anyone who scolds Qin Guo as a tiger and wolf is a moth. They don't crop, they don't weave, they eat, drink, and be merry, they only oppress us poor slaves. ”
"The Qin State has no affiliation, and the people of the country are one, and they hate me for not being a Qin person."
"The Qin people are diligent in crops, live and work in peace and contentment, have food to eat, and clothes to wear, if this is also a tiger wolf, let me become a tiger wolf."
The male slaves were all very excited, and their eyes were full of eagerness: "Childe, you just bought us, right?" We are willing to make cattle and horses for the son and repay the son. ”
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State abolished the slaves, "the country has no affiliation, and the people of the country are one", all of whom are Chinese people with personal freedom and can own property and land.
Not to mention, Qin's law is strict, "regardless of the noble and the low, one and the same law", that is, there is no difference between the noble and the low, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, this is the best proof that Qin Huiwen was punished for breaking the law when he was the prince.
This has a fatal attraction for slaves, who have no personal freedom and may die at any time.
Looking at a pair of fiery eyes, Qin Yiren's heart was touched by some softness, and said, "You, and your family, if you want, come with me." ”
"Gongzi Xie!" More than a dozen male slaves knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Yiren.
"Knock knock!" They prostrated too hard, and their foreheads hit the ground with a thumping sound, and before they knew it, their foreheads were bleeding and they were still prostrating.
"The heart of the people is the heart of heaven! This is the heart of the people, and it is also the heart of heaven! Qin won the hearts of the people and won the world, but he was scolded by future generations, and he was infamous for tyrannical Qin, which is really a joke of history! Looking at the male slave kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Qin Yiren was full of emotion.
