459 Pearl of the Sea
There are still a lot of family members of a prince, including Yahuan, Haonu, guards, etc., there are more than 100 people.
Of course, like Li Su's wife and children and beautiful concubines are not here, after all, they are the princes, Li Er's biological flesh and blood, even if he violates the law, he can still be at ease, only those subordinates suffer, however, Liu Yuan looks at most of their faces are relatively plain, in fact, for them, they are slaves, and now they are just changing their masters, nothing is terrible, and Li Su is violent by nature, and he scolds his subordinates, for them, maybe they can change their masters and live a better life.
Most of those men didn't care, but a few women couldn't help but throw a few winks at Liu Yuan when they saw that Liu Yuan was a young talent.
"General Liu, you see, all the people are here, a total of one hundred and sixty-three people, all of them are scattered in more than ten independent cells, hehe, there are a few women among them who are very good, and the price is negotiable." Huang Jiaofang said with a grin.
Like those who buy official slaves in advance, most of them pick those young and beautiful women, and the Huangjiao Fang envoy in front of him only knows that Liu Yuan wants to pick people from the batch of official slaves in the Shu Palace, but he doesn't know who he wants to pick, so he preconceived and pointed out the most beautiful women to Liu Yuan.
These women, Liu Yuan looked at them, to be honest, although they are beauties, they are still far from the "stunning", which may have something to do with everyone's different aesthetics, Liu Yuan likes tall and slender women with temperament, and this Shu King Li Su, I don't know if it is a lack of maternal love since childhood, the women I am looking for are all very big-breasted, like cows, Liu Yuan really dare not agree.
"By the way, these people are all registered, right?" Liu Yuan asked lightly.
"Yes, yes," the Huang Jiaofang envoy immediately took out a roster from his bosom that had been prepared for a long time, and handed it to Liu Yuan with a smile.
Since he is an official slave, he has to sell it. Filling the treasury, naturally they were investigated clearly, to confirm the selling price, age, height, health status, what skills and specialties, etc., were all recorded, with this roster, Liu Yuan could naturally easily find the person he wanted.
Liu Yuan took the roster, opened it, and saw that it was densely filled with information:
Candidate 2: Twenty-eight years old, in good health. Occupational nursing home, good at horizontal knives, the price starts at twenty taels.
Chunmei: Seventeen years old, with a good face and a professional girl. has been broken, and the price starts at eight taels.
Chen Linshi: Forty-seven years old. Attentive work. Professional handyman, experienced, prices start at four or two.
Zhang Laoqi: Forty-three years old, well-informed, eight-faced, professional coachman. The price starts at fifteen taels
Liu Yuan turned page by page, and finally found a suitable one on the fifth page: Tan Erniu, Chinese New Year's Eve, first-class craftsman. Good at smelting, ironwork production, can make weapons and arrows, the price starts at one hundred taels.
It's so expensive!
After reading the roster and the price, Liu Yuan understood that the younger and more talented she is, the higher the price, like that Chunmei, although she is very beautiful, but she is not a virgin, at most she is only worth eight taels, and she is not as good as a beautiful Silla maid, and Tan Erniu, who can build weapons, is thirty-two years old, and he is in an energetic and experienced golden stage, so the price is as high as one hundred taels, this is still the pre-sale price, and it is not a problem to meet the right buyer, and it is not a problem to multiply the value several times.
One hundred taels, a child who doesn't eat or eats will have to work for four or five years to save, which can be described as a huge amount of money, even the beautiful Silla maid also buys ten, but Liu Yuan pointed at him without hesitation and said: "Huangjiaofang envoy, I want this person." ”
"General Liu is really generous, so good, let's write it down for you." The envoy surnamed Huang nodded, and personally took a pen and put a tick on the back of the name.
After buying the first one, Liu Yuan was no longer soft-hearted, and asked for nine more in one go, six of which were craftsmen, three were potential apprentices, and there were foundries and masons, but the price was not cheap, just those three apprentices cost Liu Yuan nearly one hundred taels of silver, and the most expensive was a casting master surnamed Zhu, asking for three hundred taels, ten people, and a total of one thousand taels.
It is difficult to buy a good head, although a thousand taels is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for Liu Yuan, who is worth hundreds of thousands of taels, it is really a drop in the bucket, especially these talents are all collected by Li Su, the king of Shu, who can enter the palace of Shu and gain a foothold, needless to say, there must be two brushes, and what Liu Yuan lacks most now is talent.
Liu Yuan wanted to find a few housekeepers, but he couldn't find them, and after asking, he learned that when Li Er exiled Li Su, the king of Shu, he did not classify all his subordinates as official slaves, but gave him a quota, so that he could take as many people as he wanted, and only closed the Shu Wangfu, and the property under his name was not taken away, and Li Su, the king of Shu, was not stupid, and he would definitely take away all the housekeepers who could help and trust.
Sure enough, the tiger poison does not eat, then Li Su just can't set foot in Chang'an, and he has no chance to go further, as far as glory and wealth are concerned, he will still not be less.
"General Liu, are these ten people enough?" The envoy of the Huang Jiaofang looked at the beautiful female officials and slaves and said with a smile: "Don't you plan to come to a golden house to hide Jiaojiao?" ”
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "There are some things that are not very convenient. ”
After speaking, he gave Huang Jiaofang a "you understand" look, and the Huang Jiaofang made it clear at once, he remembered that this was the thread drawn by the Cui family of Qinghe, and Liu Yuan was the son-in-law of the Cui family, and he couldn't forget his roots too much, so he didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Hehe" Huang Jiaofang envoy smiled and said: "General Liu is really a good son, please take care of it in the future, I heard that you and Miss Cui Jiasan will hold a big wedding soon, but unfortunately our family is working hard, thousands of people up and down the Jiaofang Division, it is really not good to work for a while, I can't go at that time, I congratulate General Liu here, I wish you and Miss Cui Jiasan to grow old together, and be harmonious and beautiful." ”
This old thing can talk, the Jiaofang Division is actually very idle, but he is just a eunuch, what kind of family is Qinghe Cui, the three members of the three grades may not be invited, where is a eunuch allowed to appear at the wedding, it seems that he has self-knowledge and knows, he can't say it first, but let Liu Yuan have a step down, so as not to be embarrassed.
"Thank you for the good words of the Jiaofang envoy, although I can't invite this meal, but if I am free, Liu will definitely make up for it for the Jiaofang envoy."
"Good to say, good to say, hehe"
Seeing that things are almost there. Liu Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense with this eunuch who was neither yin nor yang, so he nodded and said, "This person has already been picked, but I don't know where to pay the money?" ”
"Ha Luha, Qian Yin is good to say, watch the seat in the front yard, and then there will be someone to deliver it to you and send you a deed of sale."
"Okay, please do so."
"Return General Liu first, please"
Liu Yuan nodded and took the lead in front of him, while Huang Jiaofang nodded and followed behind.
Although this is the Department of Teaching. Huang Gonggong's territory, but Liu Yuan compared with him, there are too many advantages, there is no comparison at all, politeness is just etiquette. Actually, there is no need to be polite to him.
"Your Excellency. My lord. You must buy me, and you will never regret buying me. Just when Liu Yuan was about to leave this special detention cell, a person suddenly shouted loudly.
Liu Yuan turned his head to see that it was a middle-aged man with messy hair and skinny hair, and a pair of hands like eagle claws. Gripping the wooden fence tightly, the only bright spot was her eyes, blazing, at the moment. There was an expectant look in his eyes.
"Bold, dare to make a loud noise in the Teaching Workshop Division, come here, slap your mouth." Gonggong Huang, who was still smiling with a chrysanthemum face just now, suddenly turned pale, with a cruel look in his eyes, and shouted loudly.
The Teaching Workshop Division, focusing on the word "teaching", teaching, that is, indoctrination, teaching talents, teaching etiquette, this is the difference between official slaves and ordinary slaves, official slaves are usually trained, and then launched on the market, auctioned in the slave market, can come to the Teaching Workshop Division to pick people first, are high-ranking officials and nobles, frightened them It is a big crime, just now it was good, suddenly someone shouted hoarsely, I don't know how Liu Yuan is, anyway, the Huang Jiaofang envoy was startled, and under the loss of etiquette, he was a little embarrassed and angry.
Isn't shouting like this as if you have no way to teach?
"Yes, Master Sect," the two officials couldn't help but say, and walked over with a fierce face, as if they were going to punish him.
"Slow!" Liu Yuan waved his hand to stop the two servants, took two steps closer, looked at the middle-aged man who looked like a madman, and asked with interest: "Oh, tell me, I will not regret buying you for something." ”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then said loudly: "The little one can turn stones into alchemy, and one piece of gold can be turned into two pieces, General, you will definitely not regret it." ”
"Turning stones into gold?" Liu Yuan said curiously: "So magical? ”
"General Liu, don't listen to his nonsense," Huang Jiaofang approached Liu Yuan and explained:
"This person's name is Tang Jin, he was originally a monk, he knew some small tricks, deceived the trust of the king of Shu, said that he could turn stones into gold, and coaxed the king of Shu to hand over a large amount of gold and silver to him, just waiting for him to make money with money, a million profits, not how to get it, so much gold and silver, after the most Lu made into a piece of nothing is a metal block, the gold and silver can not be refined, in a fit of anger, he and the metal are locked together, only give him one meal a day, when he refines the gold and silver, when he releases, Now others are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, nine times out of ten you will lose your heart and go crazy, don't believe him, our family has already thought about it, so people can't sell silver, but they will lose the reputation of the sect division, and they are going to send him to mine tomorrow. ”
Liu Yuan's heart moved, Fang Shi, isn't he an ancient chemist? This person knows some tricks, it is estimated that it is some chemical reactions, and can integrate gold and silver and other things, which shows that he knows a lot about metals, and he was mistaken for crazy and sent to mining, which is the work of nine deaths and a lifetime, and at the critical moment, he will also ask Cheng himself for help, indicating that his brain is still normal, in terms of seizing the most difficult opportunity, it should be said that he is still quite smart.
This person is definitely not crazy, it is very likely that he is a talented and thoughtful person.
"No, no, General, the little one is definitely not crazy, I, I" Tang Jin was a little incoherent for a moment.
Liu Yuan stared at him and said, "The official asked you, when you were refining gold, did someone help you or did you do it alone?" ”
"Yes, there was a boy who helped to light the fire, so to speak, and it was done independently."
Liu Yuan nodded, turned to the Huang Jiaofang envoy and said, "Add him." (To be continued......)
