In North Vietnam, there were only two kinds of people who could afford slaves: wealthy merchants and officials. Although the slave trader was also a businessman, he was never looked down upon by other merchants, and he could not hold his head up in front of many officials.

This is not to say that officials look down on slave traders, but that with the power in their hands, officials can dismiss slaves at any time, and then the slave traders will lose all their money.

If it weren't for the fact that the slave trader still had the need to survive, and if it weren't for the slave trader being the best starting point for being a businessman, the slave trader would have died out long ago under the pressure of various officials.

Ordering people to bring out all the slaves, Huang Yudi said to Yi Huan with a calm face: "My lord, this is the slave that the villain received from Beicang Mansion this time, twenty men and twenty women, plus fifteen underage children. ”

There is no need for Yi Ying to say hello, Bao Ying has already found a teak Taishi chair for Yi Huan.

The Taishi chair is not only a little old, but also has a lot of black dirt on the armrests. After Yi Huan hesitated for a while, Bao Ying had to wipe Yi Huan with the sleeve of her robe, and Yi Huan sat down with a satisfied face.

Sitting on the Taishi's chair, Yi Huan looked at the slave standing in front of him with a nonchalant expression.

Although many people in Beicang Province were affected by drought and famine, many people were sold into slavery, but in order to make the slaves in his hands easy to sell, Huang Yudi obviously did not abuse them too much. Even though these people have a little bit of food on their faces, they seem to be in good spirits. At least in front of Yi Huan, the magistrate, both adults and children are trying their best to express themselves.

Not only do those male ** subordinates have a strong physical foundation, but the female ** subordinates are also very thoughtful, and even some young girls look quite smart.

As for the more than a dozen children, they all have shrewd faces, and obviously most of them know how to control their own destiny.

After thinking about it, Yi Huan said: "Do any of you have a family, if you have one, stand up first, and you can also take children." ”

"My lord, can you, brother?" Suddenly, one of the slaves spoke.

Yi Huan's request was a little vague, but Yi Huan was even more surprised that someone reacted so quickly. Looking at a strong man in his thirties who took the initiative to raise his hand, Yi Huan was a little unsure of his errand before selling himself into slavery, and thought about it and said, "If there are underage brothers and sisters here, you can take the children to stand up first." ”

As soon as Yi Huan's words fell, the strong man was silent, obviously not meeting Yi Huan's requirements.

Then under Huang Yudi's loud urging, two couples soon came out, one of them also brought a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but there was no eldest brother, eldest sister with younger sister, and younger brother, and there were obviously not many lucky or unfortunate people.

Without the slave to speak, Huang Yudi said with a flattering face: "My lord, do you want to buy these two families?" ”

Yi Ying didn't pay attention to Huang Yudi, and continued to look at the slaves who were waiting for their fate to be decided, and said, "Those who have practiced martial arts can also stand up first, regardless of men or women." ”

"Whoa!"

No one argued anymore, and soon a large crowd of people crowded among the slaves. Not only the strong man who spoke earlier, but even four or five sturdy women. There is no commendable martial arts school in North Vietnam, and most of the so-called martial arts training is a move learned in some rural martial arts halls or the army. Although you can't fight one against a hundred, it is more than enough to protect yourself.

Seeing that half of the slaves had already come out, Yi Huan didn't care, and continued to say calmly: "Whether there are literate people or not, and some can also stand up, regardless of men and women." ”

Unlike the previous clamour, this time the slaves quickly fell silent.

I don't know if it was influenced by the strong man before, but after a while, a handsome-looking woman stepped forward slightly and said, "My lord, do you have any requirements for literacy?" Is it required to read the scriptures? ”

"Although it is good to read the scriptures, this county is not enough to ask you to use it. As long as you are literate and hyphenated, you can read and write your own family letters, and your child can also stand up. ”

Hearing that children were okay, three or four boys immediately ran out of the slave herd.

Of course, Yi Huan also knows that these children have studied in private school for a few years at most, not to mention reading scriptures and classics, literacy and hyphenation may only be barely enough, and it is impossible for everyone to be a prodigy like Yi Huan, the county magistrate.

Except for a few children, the only ones who came out were the woman who spoke and another young girl. Both of them are not very old, but they have a different taste of grace and grace when they walk.

Noticing Yi Huan's gaze, Huang Yudi said: "My lord, these two women were originally the dowry maids who served the young lady in a big family, but it was only because of the natural disaster that they were sold to reduce the burden in the house." ”

"Oh? The drought in Pak Cang Province has reached this point? ”

"That is, now not only the big households in Beicang Province have become small households, but many small households have broken down and moved. If there is no relief from the imperial court, tsk......"

Relief? Can relief be compared to war?

Yi Huan sneered in her heart, but she didn't say much. Not to mention the memory of Yi Ying, the magistrate, that is, in all the historical classics of North Vietnam, there are very few real reliefs, but there are countless situations where various natural disasters are used to promote wars.

Only when natural disasters are not too severe, or when there is no enemy to fight, will the imperial court choose relief as a means of surviving natural disasters.

Of course, no court would say such things explicitly. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, with the capture in the war, with the casualties and attrition in the war, the imperial court can always survive all kinds of natural disasters.

"How are you going to sell these slaves?" I don't want to care which country has become the target of North Vietnam's troops, Yi Ying asked casually.

Huang Yudi said with a happy face: "My lord, there are a total of thirty-five people you called, among whom ......"

"Wait, don't tell me anything, I bought all the slaves you have here, you can give a total!" Yi Huan's body leaned back slightly against the chair and said with a big grin.

Suddenly hearing Yi Huan's words, not only Huang Yudi was stunned, but those slaves who were not selected were even more overjoyed. Although no one knows what Yi Ying wants to do when he buys slaves, it can be said that being sold to officials like Yi Ying is the best outcome for these slaves compared to selling them to those big families.

Because as court officials, unless they commit the crime of raiding their homes and exterminating their clans, they can be said to have no worries about food and clothing, and they no longer have to worry about being resold.

Huang Yudi also said excitedly: "My lord is really kind and rewarded!" There are a total of 20 male ** subordinates, 10 taels of silver per person, 20 female ** subordinates, 8 taels of silver per person, and 15 children, 6 taels of silver per person, a total of 450 taels of silver. ”

"Excellent! Then we will make up our minds, and the county will buy your slaves for four hundred and fifty taels. Yi Huan nodded and said.

"It's just that this county will still have the joy of taking concubines in a few days, and I don't know how much silver will be used then, so it's inconvenient to give you the silver now."

Yi Ying said to herself: "Why don't you let these slaves go back to the county first, wait until the county finishes accepting concubines, and then settle all the silver taels with you." Of course, the county won't embarrass you. ”

"Not only can this county give you a white slip of four hundred and fifty taels of silver now, but before this county settles this white slip, you and your subordinates can move to live in the Baimin Inn, and all your living expenses in the Baimin Inn will also be borne by the county."

While talking, Yi Huan's heart was already happy.

Not to mention that Yi Huan never thought that he would have the opportunity to play white strips in North Vietnam, the Baimin Inn is the property of ten thousand households. Since Wan Dahu wants to test himself, Yi Ying can't say anything if he doesn't give him some return gifts.

Huang Yudi didn't know what Baitiao was, and he didn't think that a county magistrate would really not be able to pay four hundred and fifty taels of silver. When he heard that he could eat and live for nothing at the Baimin Inn, he naturally agreed.
