After the sales of perfume were on the right track, the income of the palace suddenly exploded, and the merchants who came to buy not only included the merchants of Chang'an, but also the merchants from other places also came to visit, including the merchants of Persia, Dashi, Tianzhu, Zhenla and other countries.

Seeing such a grand occasion, Tong Nian regretted his intestines, and he didn't eat for a few days, but Li Yu still left him a way to make money, and the perfumes sold by Liang Wangfu were all ten bottles, and Tong Nian could still make a difference.

"Your Highness, according to your orders, the sales figures of the past few days have been counted for you, and the total amount of copper coins purchased by local merchants is 64,000 copper coins, and that of foreign merchants is 61,200 yuan." Su Mo'er read with a ledger.

"Not bad!" Li Su was a little surprised, he didn't expect the purchasing power of those foreigners to be so high, seeing that the front of the palace was full of golden-eyed foreigners, Li Su asked Su Mo'er to separate the number of perfume sellers, in order to see how the pockets of these foreign businessmen were, and the result was beyond his expectations, almost evenly divided.

Historical research, the total economic volume of the Tang Dynasty accounted for sixty percent of the world at that time, but this refers to the middle and late Tang Dynasty, when Zhenguan was in the past, the land of the Tang Dynasty had just gone through the continuous war, and many people were still living on the edge of food and clothing, waiting to be revived, so the total economic volume was not so high.

"Foreigners' business can be done!" Li Su understood the number of jù, and thought in his heart, if their money is not earned, it will not be earned in vain.

The perfume matter aside, the workshop in the small mountain pass has been completed, and the equipment purchased by Li Yu has also arrived, just waiting for the craftsman to start work as soon as he arrives.

And in the matter of craftsmen, Li Su made a difficulty, just find some people, worried that he would not be able to keep the secret, but he couldn't say where to find the people who leaked his mouth, helplessly, Li Su could only recruit the three families to ask Jian Yiyu, after all, they also had a share, and they couldn't take care of this matter alone.

"It's not easy, just buy some slaves!" Xiao Rui didn't think about it and said.

"Private slave!"

"Xiao Rui is right, it's really not good, let's buy some official slaves from the Ministry of Industry!" Lu Boyan agreed.

"It's okay to buy private slaves, forget about official slaves, in case there are detailed works planted by individual families, our secrets have not all been stolen!" Cheng Huailiang is thick and detailed, and what he said is also very reasonable.

During the Tang Dynasty, the slave system left over from the Xia Shang Dynasty was still retained, and these slaves could be divided into official slaves and private slaves, among which the official slaves were mostly confiscated criminals, supervised by the criminal department of Shangshu Province, and the private slaves mainly came from the poor peasants who sold themselves and the people who were plundered and sold.

Born in a society that advocates humanitarianism, but you have to follow the customs when you enter the countryside here, and the treatment of these private slaves in the hands of Li Su is definitely better than in the hands of other princes and nobles, thinking about this, Li Su didn't say anything, and agreed to buy private slaves.

Where there is business, there is a market, and the slave trade was also a legitimate industry in the Tang Dynasty, and was protected by the law "Tang Law Shu Yi", there was a regular slave market in the West Market, and after the agreement, the four of them went to the West Market to select craftsmen for the workshop.

The carriage from the east to the west must pass through the famous Zhuque Street in Chang'an, this street is the central axis of Chang'an City, separating the east and west cities, the width of the street of Zhuque Street has reached one hundred and fifty meters, the street is on both sides of the thick sycamore and weeping willows, Li Su is also the first time to pass through the Zhuque Street, on the road, he opened the curtains, watching the landscape recorded in the history books, breathtaking.

Compared with the East Market, the West Market is not far behind, the streets are full of people, traders gather, and in the southeast corner of the West Market, the horse-drawn carriage stops.

In front of them was an open-air square, about thirty-five meters long and wide, which was kneeling with unkempt slaves, among whom some butler-like men picked and chose from time to time.

Seeing the four sons get out of the luxurious carriage, a slave dealer came over with a flattering smile, "Masters, what do you need, we have all kinds of slaves, coolies, maids, and new virgins!" "Speaking of virgins, slave traders. He laughed wryly.

"Oh? What's in the goods, let me see! Lu Boyan couldn't change his eating, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"A few masters look here!" The slave trader pointed to a row of kneeling four girls aged twelve or thirteen, "These four are new, and they are all of the best looks!" ”

Compared to the other slaves, the four girls were gorgeously dressed and had clean faces, apparently carefully dressed by the slave traders.

"You're too young!" Lu Boyan still has a bit of a conscience.

The slave owner smiled awkwardly, "This master, you don't understand, now the girls of this age are all bestsellers, and it is more intimate to raise them for a few years!" ”

"Get down to business!" Li Su interjected at the right time, and Lu Boyan said with a straight face: "We want to buy some servants!" ”

"Over there, pick it yourself!" The slave trader suddenly lacked interest, and the price of the servants was low, and the profits were low, so he naturally did not care.

Following the direction pointed by the slave traders, Li Su glanced at the men and women kneeling on the ground, these people all looked yellow and thin, and they looked at the ground with blank eyes, lifeless, maybe since the moment they sold themselves, they had lost hope in life.

The work is naturally strong, the four people are selected separately in the slave market, according to Li Su's meaning, these slaves are half male and female, the three of them are puzzled, Li Su did not explain, he has his own ideas.

In order to meet the needs of the three workshops, this time they bought five hundred slaves in one go, each slave was basically about one or two silver, Li Su paid the money and sighed that people are really inferior to horses, even a poor horse in the Tang Dynasty had to be sold for four copper coins.

So many slaves went back, in order to prevent changes, Cheng Huailiang called the family from home and escorted these slaves back.

These are two women, one in a long green skirt and the other in a red placket, walking together, looking at the twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in the slave market one by one, it is Su Mo'er and Yun'er.

"Why are you here?" Li Su stepped forward and asked.

Seeing Li Su, the two saluted, and Yun'er said with a big grin: "I'm accompanying Yun'er's sister to find her sister?" ”

"You still have a sister!" Li was surprised.

Su Mo'er's eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Mo'er also has a sister who is not yet ten years old who has been lost, I think she may have been plundered and sold to human traffickers, so I have a glimmer of hope and come here every day to take a look!" ”

"I see, you don't have to be sad, go back and recall your sister's appearance and draw it, I will send someone to check here every day, you don't have to come here every day, after all, there are all kinds of people here, it's too dangerous!"

Yun'er pouted and said, "Your Highness is really eccentric, aren't you worried that Yun'er will be in danger?" ”

Su Mo'er blushed, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Li Su just cared about his subordinates out of normal concern, but Yun'er made both of them embarrassed, and couldn't help glaring at Yun'er.

Just as he was about to reprimand, Lu Boyan's exaggerated voice suddenly came, "Miss Luo, why did you come here?" ”
