After arranging the roasted tea in the Zhou section, Xu Yang went directly to the Datang Hotel for a delicious meal.

The girls who greeted the guests were now more beautiful than the other, and the service staff at the front desk also completely followed the staff courtesy standards printed by themselves, all in accordance with the standards of later generations, which made Xu Yang feel relaxed and happy.

Drinking the 'Kouzijiao' liquor brewed by the latest machine, and the side dishes fried by the Tang Dynasty chef, Xu Yang was very happy to eat.

Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the third floor of the Datang Hotel, Xu Yang looked down on Youzhou City, only to see the smooth cement road, and occasionally skipped one or two bicycles on the road, and cement workers dragging brick carts, all of which made him excited.

These changes were all created by him.

Xu Yang felt a burst of pride and drank another glass of wine.

At this time, the door of his exclusive private room was knocked a few times, and Xu Yang's face was a little flushed and said, "Please come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and I saw a big man with a beard entering, wearing a light blue chengguan costume, looking powerful.

"Liu Yi meets Xu Gongzi." When the big man entered the door, he raised his head and saluted.

"Well, excuse me." Xu Yang saw this person clearly, it was the person he saw at first sight when he crossed over, the Uncle Liu who drove the carriage, when the chengguan brigade was just established, Xu Yang was employing people, and he didn't know anyone from the Liu family, so he appointed this more familiar soldier as the deputy captain of the chengguan brigade, with a monthly income of ten yuan, he was not in the chengguan team, and he presided over all the qiē affairs.

The cheeky man said: "Young Master Xu, the Sprinkle family came this time to ask for help." ”

"Asking for someone? Who's going to ask for whom? Xu Yang asked suspiciously.

"Xu Gongzi doesn't know, now after the chengguan team has repaired the eight main roads in Youzhou, they have begun to build the stadium, but there is a shortage of manpower, and some of the members of the chengguan team are sent to manage the city's appearance with the yamen, and some of the team members are to supervise the production of cement, and the manpower is even more lacking.

"Oh, there's a shortage of people." Xu Yang touched his chin thoughtfully

The first year of Zhenguan, July 25.

The huge sun hung high in the sky and scorched the earth, but the gates of the east and west gates of Youzhou City were crowded with people, and these people talked from time to time, pointing at the big-character poster on the city wall.

I saw a colorful big-character poster pasted on the dark city wall, on which a few big men were drawn wearing a light blue chengguan clothes, wearing a dark blue military hat, looking majestic and fluttering, unstoppable, people were attracted at a glance, only to see some words under the picture, the first few big characters were: Rather be a centurion, not a scholar.

"I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar, I must go to the chengguan selection."

"Let's go together, look at it, five yuan of silver per month, that's a full five thousand yuan!"

"Yes, farming at home can only be about four or five hundred yuan a month, and I can earn five thousand yuan a month."

"It is required to be in good health, over 18 years old and under 30 years old. Lao Liu, do you think we should let the eldest sons of our two families try it? ”

"Okay~ These two boys say every day that they want to be in the world, and they will let the old man enter the chengguan brigade first."

"I heard that the captain of the chengguan team is Xu Caishen, if you can see Xu Caishen after entering, then you will definitely be prosperous and rich in this life."

Youzhou City, Inner City Bazaar.

Xu Yang took four bodyguards and Uncle Liu to pick slaves in a one-person market north of the bazaar.

"This son, our Kunlun slaves here are professionally trained, obedient and capable, so you can buy one back and use it as two." A short slave trader with thief eyebrows and rat eyes saw that Xu Yang was dressed in brocade and silk, and hurriedly stepped forward and said flatteringly.

"Huh? Kunlun Nu? "Xu Yang has heard a lot of Kunlun slaves in later generations, and those Indian black-skinned monkeys that jumped one day were severely repaired by the Celestial Empire.

"Yes, yes~ There are all kinds of slaves here, especially these Kunlun slaves, who are even more obedient and easy to use." The short, squirky-eyed slave trader saw that Xu Yang was interested, and hurriedly pointed at his slaves.

Xu Yang looked in the direction of the slave trader's finger.

I saw a small area, crowded with people, a large part of these people have a little dark skin, looking very much like those Indians in later generations.

Zhu Yu's "Pingzhou Can Be Discussed": "The rich people in Guangzhong have many animals and ghosts...... There is a kind of offshore person who does not blink when entering the water, which is called Kunlun Nu. Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai Zhiyi Yu De": "To the twilight, there are two Kunlun horses to pick up the lantern and welcome the guide. "It's these Kunlun slaves.

Xu Yang was very interested in looking at these Kunlun slaves, and felt very interesting.

"Yes, I want all these slaves, how much?" Xu Yang was in a good mood when he saw these cheap laborers.

This slave trader was also overjoyed when he heard that Xu Yang was going to buy all his slaves, these slaves were eating rice in their own hands, and it was best to sell them as soon as possible and take the money and leave.

The slave trader said happily: "Each young man only needs 20 yuan, and the female slave one only needs 10 yuan." Xu Yangcai said rudely: "Okay, pack it all for me and take it away." Xu Yang did not have the slightest sympathy for these white-eyed wolves in later generations.

The slave market was originally not big, and the slaves of a slave trader were actually bought by one person, which immediately caused an uproar, and those slave traders who sold Turkic slaves, Tibetan slaves, Uighur slaves, and Silla slaves were all like sharks smelling blood, and they surrounded one after another, so shocked that Xu Yang was also dumbfounded.

"Childe~ Let's come and see our Turkic slaves, they have a lot of strength and can be an oxcart messenger."

"Childe, our Tubo slaves here are very docile and knowledgeable, these Tubo women are still Tubo is a big family."

"Childe. Our Silla slaves are good, not only know the etiquette of our Tang Dynasty, but also can write Chinese characters, which is easy to use. ”

The slave traders who gathered around introduced the benefits of their slaves.

Xu Yang was surrounded by a group of people, listening to these people introduce these ancestors who were always in the country of the Celestial Empire, looking at the ancestors of those Korean stick slaves, Laotian Vietnamese slaves, and Mongolian slaves who were trafficked, Xu Yang was relieved for a while.

I saw him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Don't make any noise." ”

The huge traffickers square suddenly quieted down, Xu Yang cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Now there is a shortage of people in the Liujiaxiu Stadium, and today, I have bought all the slaves sold here." ”

The shocked crowd was speechless, although the slaves were not very valuable, but they couldn't hold enough, a slave was twenty yuan, each slave trader had about forty slaves, and there were fifteen slave sellers in this slave market, so if Xu Yang wanted to buy all the slaves, he would have to spend at least 1,300 yuan, that is, 1,300 taels of silver!

Youzhou City can take out 1,300 taels of silver to buy slaves at a time, and they can be counted on one hand.

"Oh! God, he's Xu Yang! Xu Caishen! ”

At this time, someone suddenly recognized Xu Yang and shouted in the crowd.

"Ahh It's really Xu Caishen! I remember! ”

"Ahh Xu Caishen! Please show me a clear way~"

"Xu Caishen! Let me touch the sticky fairy energy!! ~”

With this shout, more and more people in the crowd recognized Xu Yang, and everyone frantically squeezed over here, just like the fans who would frantically rush to meet in the future.

This also frightened Xu Yang.

Originally, the people around Xu Yang just wanted to come up and touch Xu Yang, but as soon as there were many people, touching became grasping, grasping became pulling, and pulling became tearing, although the bodyguards around Xu Yang did their best to protect Xu Yang, but there were too many people, and the four black bodyguards were drowned in the flow of people

At the gate of Liu's house, I saw a man, his clothes were torn, the collar was rotten, his pants were also a few holes, and his shoes were lost, which looked very funny, this person was Xu Yang.

Xu Yang only now understands why those celebrities in later generations have invited so many bodyguards to travel
