Chapter 2086 Spartan Slaves

Writing history books. It is the prerogative of the victors. And history is a little girl who can be smeared. After the victory of any regime. Always give yourself a legitimate reason. Defend your rule.

And discredit the former dynasty. is the most effective way. No doubt. The Qin law that Chen Sheng saw was very harsh. But actually. This harsh law. After more than 100 years of evolution. Many laws are not immutable. Enforcers will also be flexible from this. It makes the law show the taste of human affection. And the policy of heavy agriculture and suppression of business since the reform of the Shang Dynasty. It can't be thoroughly executed from the start.

The reason is simple. It's not that Qin is ineffective in law enforcement. Rather, it cannot be enforced forcefully.

The state of Qin is located in the west. There is a severe shortage of salt, iron, and all kinds of goods. This lack. led to dependence on the six countries of Shandong. But with the rise of the Qin state. The Six Kingdoms adopted a blockade attitude towards the Qin State. Ordinary merchants could not conduct normal trade with the Qin State at all. And the Qin state had to get the import of goods from outside. As a result, some 'smuggling' businessmen came into being. These people have the audacity of the six countries of Shandong. There are more Qin people. Face these businessmen. What the rulers of the Qin State did not take was repression. It's more about support.

So although the Qin State was ostensibly forbidden to business. But in fact it supports the development of business. to make up for the differences with the six countries of Shandong. So after more than 100 years of evolution. will lead to Xianyang being so prosperous.

And after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms. The wealthy of the Qin State were more concentrated. Xianyang's business is naturally more developed. caused the prosperous state of Qin today...... As for the tyranny of the Qin State, which was criticized by later generations. A lot of it is smearing. And there's more...... Those didn't happen. For example, the legendary Afang Palace, which costs people and money. Chen Sheng came to Xianyang. I haven't heard of its existence......

"Finally. This is a special cargo from Hu merchants thousands of miles away." When Qin Wushuang mentioned the word "goods". There is obviously a change in tone. But as a 'woman' in the dust. The best thing you can do is hide your emotions. Soon he hid his emotions. Said: "One hundred and fifty slaves of the 'Se' people. The reserve price is 1,500 gold." Under the auction table. A dozen or so stout slaves lined up. As a representative of this group of slaves. There is only a rag around his body to hide his ugliness. Although the 'spirit' spirit is a little decadent. But the average height is one meter eight tall. It still looks shocking.

Qin Wushuang seems to be very resistant to the slave trade. The auction line given to her by the auction house. And didn't say it. Let the crowd below bid.

"Sixteen hundred gold." Before the auction. All the goods were looked at. A lot of people know about it. The overall quality of these slaves is good. Don't say anything else. It's good to buy it as a porter. But for ten gold a sturdy slave. This is obviously not a high number.

"Two thousand gold." There are many people who know the goods.

Chen Sheng looked at this group of 'color' people. His face showed a look of surprise. These are not West Asian races; High nose and blue eyes, fair skin. Golden hair. Looks more like the Aryans of Europe.

Chen Sheng was suddenly very interested in this group of slaves. Thought about it. He said, "Su Yun. I want to buy this group of slaves." Knowing that Ling Suyun doesn't like the slave trade. So he first 'communicated' with Ling Suyun.

"Hmm." Ling Suyun had been persuaded by Chen Sheng before. Said: "Okay. These slaves look 'pretty strong'. You can train them to be guards."

Chen Sheng smiled slightly. Said: "That's exactly what I mean."

Knocked on the small brass bell on the desk. Steward Wu, who was guarding outside the 'door', hurriedly came in. asked, "Miss. What do you command?"

Ling Suyun waved her hand: "Buy all these 'color' slaves." Although it is in its own auction house. Ling Suyun also has to follow the rules of the auction house. The one with the highest price wins.

Steward Wu wondered in his heart. Her own lady was so disgusted with the slave trade. Now the slaves are to be bought. The behavior is so repetitive. It's really puzzling. But he didn't dare to say more. Hurry out. Offer to participate in the auction. Steward Wu is the actual operator of the auction house. For bidding on how to bid. Naturally familiar. And the lady did not set a low price. That shows that the desire for these slaves is to be won. The price is at his disposal.

But a moment later. The price of this batch of slaves. It was raised to 5,000 gold. And the bid. It's no longer just ordinary VIPs sitting down with businessmen. More of the VIP rooms are bidding in the auction.

The Qin people lived in the western border of Longxi. I've seen a lot of 'colored' people. So for the 'lust' people, for the Qin people. Not uncommon. But it was the Qin people who were present. But I have never seen such a tall and fair-skinned 'colored' person. If you have such a group of slave guards in your home. Go outside. Calling forward and hugging. Wouldn't it be more face-saving? Many dignitaries and nobles have such thoughts. That's why the price of this batch of slaves is so high.

Steward Wu's bid is very realistic. Only increase by the lowest range of the price. But he showed the confidence that he would never give up. Soon many competitors retreated. It's just the price of this group of slaves. But it has already turned to the price of seven thousand gold.

Steward Wu's face was calm as usual. But my heart was already trembling. Because looking at the quotations of those stewards in the VIP room next to me. He knows seven thousand gold. It was far from enough to buy this group of slaves. Among the people present. The happiest thing is that Hu Shang Andy is full. These one hundred and fifty slaves. Ben was a Spartan in the Greek city-state. These Spartans somehow . Turned out to be a mercenary. Joined the army of the Seleucid Empire. Later, because of the defeat. Their leaders were taken prisoner. This group of mercenaries actually came to the 'door'. At the cost of replacing with 200 'elite' mercenaries. Change back their boss.

This scheme was approved by Arshak II. And to reduce these Spartans to slavery . Incorporated into Andyman's caravan. Andimon feared that the Spartans were too strong. Uncontrollable. Eventually, it will become a safety hazard in his caravan. That's why we have to sell them. But Andy thought it was over. At most, these Spartans sold for about 2,000 gold. Unexpectedly, it was several times more than he expected. He was overjoyed.

"Room B was offered for 8,500 gold. Eight thousand five hundred gold for the first time."

"Eight thousand six hundred. Room D is 8,600 gold. Eight thousand six hundred gold ...... for the first time, "Qin Wushuang was surprised. This is more than a hundred slaves. There is such a sky-high price at auction. And the price is still going up. But for now. Most of the participants have died down. Only the last two deep-pocketed owners are left bidding.

Inside room B. Childe Gao's face was 'gloomy'. Ask the 'squire' next to him, "Who's in room D?"
