Chapter 648: Buying Slaves

Li Yuanba and the others did not speak, but secretly sighed that this old man really had a mouth that could speak well and turn black and white upside down.

Originally, the main responsibility was on the old man's body, but after his mouth walked around, it turned out to be all their fault.

And the slave traders around were stunned, it turns out that what happened can be said like this!

"Do you believe what he says?" Li Yuanba sneered twice and said, "We, the Tang people, allowed you Japanese people to establish a human market here, because we want to help you Japanese people restore their economy!" This is good, what is this called underbidding, and the price will not be changed after the price is set, and it is also disrespectful to us Tang people, and even instigated those slaves to want to kill us. Do you widows want to die? ”

"Lord Steward, don't listen to them, I sell everything according to the price you set......" Fujiwara Qianpai seemed to be afraid that the black-robed man would listen to Li Yuanba's words, and defended himself in a little panic.

"Yaga!" The steward slipped his mouth and said, "You bastard, don't you know how difficult it is for our Fujiwara family to gain a foothold in this castle? The patriarch has repeatedly ordered that you must not attack the Tang people, do you want to push our family to extinction? ”

It seems that the manager is very distrustful of Fujiwara Qianpai's character, but chooses to believe Li Yuanba's words.

In fact, if you think about it, there are so many people in this city, even if Fujiwara Chipai doesn't tell the truth, they can still get the story from the people around them.

After teaching Fujiwara a thousand shots, the manager quickly turned around and apologized to Li Yuanba: "Hey, this lord, please accept the most sincere apology from our Fujiwara family!" ”

Otherwise, there are smart people in this country, or they know how to judge the situation and know when it is most appropriate to say what to say.

Li Yuanba, who originally wanted to copy the Fujiwara family, changed his mind when he saw these two people who bought parts before, if these two guys had a way to engage in slavery. Why don't you take them in? Anyway, it's just one more free labor, don't be in vain!

So Li Yuanba quickly calmed down and said: "I don't accept your apology, we just want to buy some slaves for labor, and that old man obstructs it in every possible way, and let us choose some inferior slaves with bad quality." Is it because we are Tang people that you don't mind very much? ”

"No, no, no, no!" The steward hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We're just because there aren't enough slaves." That's why we have to sell these shoddy slaves! Does this adult want slaves? Come with us to the harbor, where our ships are anchored, and which is full of slaves we have brought back from various countries! ”

"Oh? Is there a Tang people? Li Yuanjia asked curiously.

The chief steward shuddered violently and said, "His Royal Highness the Martial King of the Duhu Mansion has a clear decree that no one is allowed to sell Tang people as slaves!" This lord, we can't do the business of selling slaves in the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Oh, even if you dare to sell such a slave, we don't dare to ask for it!" Li Yuanba said vaguely. Said: "Today's incident is the fault of your agent after all, if you don't give us an explanation, we will take you to the yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate now!" ”

The manager obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen after the two of them had only been out for a while. The two of them glared viciously at Watanabe Chipai, who was kneeling on the ground, and after thinking for a while, said:

"My lord, we are willing to select thirty of these two hundred male slaves to give to you. Besides. You can also get the right of first refusal to buy slaves on our ships moored in the harbor! ”

"The amount of land we want is very large, don't you be able to eat such a big deal as ours when the time comes, then there will be trouble?" Li Yuanba's eyes lit up. That's where the conditions begin.

"As long as you're not all lean teenagers, we've got you covered!" The manager said it almost patting his chest, and the expression on his face was categorical.

"Okay, take us to the harbor!" Li Yuanba became interested, and said that he would go and see it.

"Yes, I'll lead the way!" The manager made an inviting gesture and directly led Li Yuanba and them towards the outside of the ghost market.

As for the Fujiwara Chipai lying on the ground, there are more than 200 slaves lying on the ground humming, and naturally someone will help them deal with it.

……

Long before the Tang Dynasty army conquered the entire Wa Kingdom, China's island country has built a lot of bays or seaports on the seaside, these seaports are in the coastal places, perhaps because of the lack of manpower and materials, these seaports are not very close, but they are more than enough to moor ships.

Fujiwara Sae, the man who was made the head of the city by Fujiwara Chipai, and their family's slave ship was anchored in a harbor three miles away from Wajo.

Because this harbor is not much distance from Waseong, it is also the closest to the city of Ren.

"Alas, I said you hurry up and do something, these are all going to faint in the city!"

"Lightly, you slaves can't afford to break it!"

"Rest, rest, rest, follow behind."

As soon as they came to this harbor, Li Yuanba heard a large number of shouting and screaming, and saw a building ship moored in front of them, and there were many people on and off the boat, and they didn't know how many people there were.

"Heh, your ship can hold a thousand people, right? Fujiwara butler is really generous! Looking at the building ship in front of him, Li Yuanba was somewhat emotional in his voice.

"Thirteen hundred, to be exact!" Fujiwara's housekeeper seemed to be deliberately disgusting Li Yuanba, and he also said an accurate number.

"Why, won't you put all the slaves on deck and let us choose as we please?" Li Yuanba got on the ship, saw that there were only thirty or forty slaves cleaning up, and said, "Is it possible that we have to wait until the flowers are gone?" ”

"I was negligent!" The Fujiwara steward consciously admitted his mistake and said, "Come on, go and gather all the slaves of that country on deck!" ”

"Hey!"

A small man with a hat on his back answered, and hurried to the bottom of the boat.

In less than half a pillar of incense, a large group, at least more than 800 slaves, was taken by the crew to work overtime.

Among these people, there were Wa, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, but the most of them turned out to be dark-skinned Kunlun slaves.

The so-called Kunlun does not refer to Kunlun Mountain, but refers to the seal at this moment. Degree. Buddhist nun. West. Ya, Ma. Come. West. Asia area.

These Kunlun slaves mainly refer to slaves from there, most of whom are indigenous to Southeast Asia, and although their skin is darker than that of the Tang people, they are still of the yellow race.

There is such a saying in the Tang Dynasty, called 'Kunlun slave, Silla maid'.

This means that Silla's handmaidens are professionally trained, well-behaved, capable, gentle and delicate. As for Kunlun Nu, he is as strong as an ox, with a gentle temperament, down-to-earth and upright, and all the nobles and wealthy families are rushing to ask for it.

So when Li Yuanba saw the Kunlun slaves on this deck, who were about five hundred people, his eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart that this Fujiwara family had some means to get so many Kunlun slaves.

"How did you get these Kunlun slaves?" Li Yuanba asked.

"This ......" Fujiwara Sayoi hesitated for a moment and said, "This lord, although today's incident is our fault first, but the place where the slaves were captured is very important to our Fujiwara family, please forgive me for not telling my lord!" ”

"You guy, my master asked you for a way out, don't be ignorant!" Zhao Sanpao's eyes widened like a copper bell, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.

"We're just doing things for the family, I don't care about the rest!" Fujiwara Sae's tone remained unchanged and continued, "Are you optimistic? What kind of slaves do you need? ”

"What is the price of these Kunlun slaves?" Li Yuanba touched his chin, and suddenly pointed at those dark-skinned Kunlun slaves.

"Wuguan!" Fujiwara Sayo replied quickly, and it seemed that the price had already been set.

"Five hundred, one person and five times, it's reasonable!"

Li Yuanba nodded when he heard this, this price is quite fair, the sale of Kunlun slaves is actually very tight, if it is left in Dengzhou, I am afraid that it will have to be five to seven times, and if it is in Chang'an City, I am afraid that this price will have to be doubled.

I thought that when I heard this price, these people would bite the story of Fang Cai and take the opportunity to ask them to lower the price, but they didn't expect them to do it.

At this time, Li Yuanba's attitude changed and said: "The price is quite reasonable, I think we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship!" ”

"What do you mean?" Fujiwara Sae-rang for a moment, a little unclear.

"What do you mean?" Li Yuanba pulled down the cover on his head, revealing his true face, looked at Fujiwara Zuo lightly, and said: "This king said that I want to cooperate with you for a long time: either you help us catch Kunlun slaves, and this king will buy them according to the price of two Kunlun slaves per Kunlun slave; Either we will arrest Kunlun ourselves and destroy your Fujiwara family! ”

"This king? You, are you Li Yuanba? ”

Fujiwara Sae stared at Li Yuanba as if he had seen a ghost, and suddenly screamed.

When the noble lady was chosen for the Tang Dynasty, these families of the Wa Kingdom had met Li Yuanba and other high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty in the Imperial Palace, especially for Li Yuanba.

Therefore, Fujiwara Sae looks like he has seen a ghost.

"Do you know this king?" Li Yuanba was surprised, but he was quickly relieved: "Then it's easy to hide, say your answer, two choices, choose one of the two!" ”

It may be a difficult choice, but for Fujiwara Sae, there is nothing difficult about it: "We, we don't choose any of them!" But we are willing to offer the location of Kunlun Nu and are willing to train Kunlun Nu for you! (To be continued.) )
