Chapter 167: A Surprise for You!

Zhang Feng always thought that the slave market was a place similar to a vegetable market, but he didn't expect that the slave market would occupy half of the area of Moore City, and half of Moore City was a slave market!

No wonder when it comes to Moore City, all that comes to mind is the city of slaves, Moore City is a big city, this half of the area is far larger than Red Leaf City, although it is not as good as Silver Pine City, but it is not much worse, a slave market of this scale, Zhang Feng can only say, amazing!

The small two-story building that Marlowe was referring to was one of the reception desks for the slave market.

There were many such receptions on the periphery of the entire slave market, and each reception also had soldier handles to prevent unexpected situations for the slaves inside.

Not only the reception, but also the slave market was also guarded by many soldiers, and there was even a grapevine that the strictness in the slave market was stricter than that of the city lord's mansion.

Zhang Feng felt that the credibility of this news should be quite high, after all, there were so many people in the slave market, not only countless slaves, but also merchants from all over the country and even abroad.

The three of them went to the reception of the slave market and first registered the identity of the merchant.

Because Zhang Feng had asked his subordinates to register his identity as a merchant before, now in Red Leaf City, Zhang Feng's identity is that of a businessman, and he can buy slaves in unlimited quantities.

If you don't have the status of a merchant, there is a limit to the slaves that everyone can buy, not only slaves, but also other things, of course, if you are a nobleman or something, then it is another matter.

As for the identity of the merchant, it is also very simple, only one gold coin is needed.

Although this method is very rude, Zhang Feng has to say that this method can bring a lot of income to Moore City, why is it not expensive?

Because this registration is not permanent! Register once and be valid for one month!

Although it was a bit lacking in morality, this method still made Zhang Feng's eyes shine, and he even thought of several advanced plans, but he was not in a hurry for now, and he would talk about it later when he went back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a slave market, some of you may have been here several times, or even regular visitors, but there are still newcomers, and I have to explain some rules here."

At the reception, in addition to Zhang Feng and the others, there were several other people, and a fat steward told Zhang Feng about the rules in the slave market.

The rules are not complicated, they are nothing more than no fights, no damage to the interests of the slave market, and so on.

After a few people were sure that there was no problem, the reception staff took everyone to the back door, which was the slave market.

"Whew~"

Although there is only a wall separating them, the inside and outside of the slave market seem to be completely different worlds.

If the outside is a relatively ordinary world, then the inside of the slave market is a broken world.

It looked like an abandoned road, a leaky house on all sides, and even the sky seemed to be darker.

Although it was still snowing heavily, it still couldn't hide the mud, feces, and even some unknown objects that emitted an unpleasant smell on the road.

There is dung or something, in fact, there is also it in Moore City, but under the cover of the heavy snow, it can't be seen at all, and there are many slaves in the slave market, plus there are always people coming and going, the snow here can't cover the road at all, so naturally a lot of things are exposed.

Zhang Feng took a deep breath, and then carefully looked for a safe path.

"Hey, brother, first time, right? You should be prepared in advance. ”

At the same time as Zhang Feng, there were several other people. One of the young male businessmen spoke.

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Feng to reply, so he ignored the "mines" all over the ground and left in stride.

Zhang Feng also noticed at this time that the other party actually came with a pair of high-heeled boots!

"This ...... Careless! ”

Zhang Feng was a little speechless, he remembered the previous Red Leaf City, which was even more terrifying than Red Leaf City.

But they all came, and there was no way, so the three of them could only move forward cautiously.

There were no slaves on the periphery, and the soldiers were stationed here, and the further you went inside, the more people you encountered.

Finally, the three of them met the slave.

This is a house built of wood, about the size of a basketball court, and even Zhang Feng feels that this can't be called a house, not only is there air leaking on all sides, but even the roof is leaking, and a large group of unclothed slaves are shivering inside.

There was a man in a thick cotton coat, who seemed to be in charge here, and he was chatting with a group of merchants, and after some haggling, the merchants took out their money bags and took dozens of slaves with them.

After sending the merchant away, the steward counted the money carefully again, and then hurriedly came to Zhang Feng's side.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm slacking you, you can look at it casually, our slaves here are in good health, and their brains are flexible, and the more they buy, the more they earn!"

There were only slaves for sale in the slave market, and the other party did not ask if they were here to buy slaves.

Zhang Feng looked at the group of sick slaves, a little speechless, just in good health, flexible in his mind. But after all, he was in business, and Zhang Feng didn't complain.

He said with some confusion:

"Aren't you afraid of freezing slaves to death in this environment?"

Zhang Feng pointed to the slave, a little puzzled.

"Oh, you're in the slave market for the first time!"

The steward's eyes lit up, and the newcomer's money was the best to earn!

Although these slaves are not his own, he is just a part-time worker, but if he can have new customers, he can also get a commission!

"How?"

Zhang Feng was a little curious, how could the other party suddenly see that he was here for the first time, was there still something he hadn't noticed?

"Haha, only newcomers care about whether the slaves will freeze to death, don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't care about the lives of the slaves, but it's basically difficult for these slaves to spend a second night here!"

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Zhang Feng and the others, the steward did not sell the guanzi, he said again:

"The slaves in our slave market don't have to worry about *** like me here, from the beginning of every morning to the end of the evening, basically all the slaves can be sold, if they can't be sold, then they will be transported to the most central slave supervision center, centralized guarding, and then sold the next day."

Hearing the steward's explanation, Zhang Feng understood, good guy, this slave seller is really a vegetable seller! Within a day, it was almost sold out!

Zhang Feng also understood why the slave market was not open at night, and people were dealing with slaves transported from all over the country at night, and after processing, they would be sold during the day.

If Zhang Feng's expectations were not bad, it should be that the further he went, the higher the quality of the slaves inside.

After a few polite words with this steward, under his disappointed gaze, Zhang Feng left.

The slave market is divided into many areas, each area has different stewards, these slaves belong to the city lord, and these stewards also work for the city lord, Zhang Feng doesn't know how the salary of these stewards is set, but according to the diligence of the steward just now, he knows that there must be incentives such as commissions.

There are more and more people on the road, and basically these people are more or less followed by some slaves, and some even need to hire soldiers to help maintain order because there are too many slaves.

Soldiers here can be hired, of course, you have to pay some pay, and only for slave escorts inside the city of Mor.

Seeing that Zhang Feng and the three of them did not bring any slaves, the stewards of these various regions all rushed over enthusiastically.

When you come to the slave market, you must buy slaves, but if you don't buy them now, it can only be said that you don't have a match, and this is a potential customer.

It's been a long time since I've seen such an enthusiastic businessman, and Zhang Feng has a feeling of dreaming of going back to Haidilao.

After getting rid of everyone, Zhang Feng came to a tavern.

The slave market is so big, there are naturally taverns, but the taverns here are very simple, and they are a little better than the places where the slaves stay, at least there is a roof, and you can barely take a break and drink dark beer.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the tavern, Zhang Feng ordered three glasses of dark beer, but he didn't drink it, compared to these dark beers, he was more interested in these people chatting and farting.

For example, who and who made how much money in a day, who and who bought how many slaves, and so on.

I don't know if what they're saying is true or not, but at least it sounds decent.

There was even talk of some aristocratic privacy, such as which viscount married another concubine, which baron gave her wife to another baron, and so on.

Zhang Feng was a little speechless when he heard it, and called your circle really messy.

"Hey, did you know about an orc in the psychedelic hall last night?"

Someone whispered, but the humble tavern was so big that almost everyone could hear it.

"Hey, you mysterious god, I thought it was something, wasn't it an orc, I personally participated in last night's auction."

Some people looked disdainful, but there was a faint sense of pride.

These merchants are basically engaged in the slave trade, Moore City is like a slave wholesale market, collecting slaves from all over the world, and then selling them to nobles, or they are slave traders, the slave market makes the difference, of course, Moore City also captures slaves itself, such as the previous lion orcs.

These merchants sold these slaves to other places, and naturally they also made a difference, for example, some slaves in Red Leaf City were bought from Moore City, as long as the merchants were experienced and could control the loss, some still made money, which was considered hard money.

As for the slave when it finally reaches the customer, the price will naturally be much higher, and the customer will pay for the difference.

But in the end, these merchants are also small businesses, at least in Moore City, they rarely go to places full of temptations like the Ecstasy Hall, and even Moore City will not stay for long.

Otherwise, if you can't help it, you may have worked hard for a month, and all the gold coins will be sent to those women, or those small brothels in other cities.

The people who can go to the Ecstasy Pavilion can be regarded as big guys among these bitter little businessmen.

Therefore, the businessman who opened his mouth was a little proud, and naturally, he received a bunch of compliments as he wished, which fully satisfied his vanity, and it was not in vain the few gold coins he spent last night.

"What is an orc?"

Some people have seen it, and naturally some people have not seen it, and they have not even heard of it.

"Orcs, ......"

Someone began to explain, and this explanation made those who had not heard of it show surprise that there was such a magical race in this world!

A hundred gold coins to buy an orc, they don't know if it's worth it, but it's really expensive, with this hundred gold coins, how many slaves can be bought!

In addition to the price, everyone is very curious about the whereabouts of the lion orc, some people say that the big man in Moore City bought it, and some people say that it was a nobleman or a big merchant from outside who bought it, anyway, there are different opinions.

As for the big guy they talked about, he was in the same shabby tavern with them, listening to them chat and brag there.

"Actually, there is another orc in Moore City, don't you know?"

Someone else spoke.

As soon as this person spoke, not to mention those businessmen, even Zhang Feng's ears pricked up.

Could it be that the horn girl was discovered?

"Really, what's more? Where is it? ”

"It's in the slave market!"

Zhang Feng frowned, so to speak, it shouldn't be Niu Jiao Niang, but now Niu Jiao Niang is in the hotel.

"Cut, it's impossible, the orcs only have that lion orc, there will be no other orcs!"

The merchant who said he was going to the auction spoke up.

"Really, I'm inside information, I have a relative who is a soldier on duty in the city of Mor, and he told me personally!"

Seeing this man's eloquent appearance, everyone became interested, and even the merchant who had just said that he didn't believe it stopped talking.

"I'll tell you, in fact, before they caught this lion orc, they caught an orc, it seems to be a female orc, but what it is, I don't know, I only know that this female orc and lion orc, are both imprisoned on Mount Moor!"

"Locked up on Mount More? No wonder! I've also been in Moore for a month, and I said that the size of a lion orc, so obvious, I couldn't have seen it, but I didn't expect it to be locked up on Moore Mountain......"

Some people showed a look of sudden realization, and some people had the same complexion, and there was a big prison on Moore Mountain, and some people knew about it.

"But I didn't see that orc being auctioned? Could it be that he was ...... by the lord of the city? Hey, hey, hey! ”

Some people have already used their imagination.

"Phew, the orcs are so ugly, the city lord will never take a fancy to them again!"

Others expressed disdain.

"Don't interrupt, tell me the news of that orc!"

"I heard, I just heard, that orc ran away!"

"Huh? Ran away? ”

"That's right, just two days ago, a lot of soldiers were dispatched at that time, and my relative also went, but I didn't know what happened, and I didn't catch it, maybe I felt ashamed, this matter, the City Lord's Mansion has never publicized it to the outside world, and most of them don't know that there is a female orc!"

The businessman talked endlessly, and he didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but everyone listened to it with relish anyway.

Zhang Feng showed a look of surprise, according to this person's words, if the guess is correct, the female orc he said should be the winged man he met before.

With the characteristics of winged people who can fly, if she flies into the sky, she really can't catch it.

But since he knew that the other party could fly, he would definitely take some precautions, with Zhang Feng's brief understanding of this city lord of Moer City, who he had never met, Zhang Feng felt that the other party should not have this kind of mistake.

When I go back, I need to ask the wingman, but I don't know if she will say that Zhang Feng doesn't want to cause trouble inexplicably, even if he really gets into trouble, then he has to figure out the cause and effect, and then find a way to face it.

About this escaped female orc, naturally there was another discussion, Zhang Feng listened to it for a while, and felt that it was useless to him, so he left with Marlo and Abbe.

From setting off in the morning to returning in the afternoon, Zhang Feng and the three of them walked around the slave market for a long time.

The operation model of the slave market has been figured out, and there are things worth learning from Zhang Feng, but there are also many things that Zhang Feng feels inappropriate.

On the whole, it is a great benefit.

At the same time, Zhang Feng also saw the terrifying ability of the slave market to attract money.

Through the average price and sales volume of these slaves, Zhang Feng roughly estimated that the daily gold coin turnover was definitely at the level of 100,000, although he didn't know what the net profit was, but no matter how little, it would not be less.

After all, even if the 100,000 turnover is only one-tenth of the profit, then there are 10,000 gold coins, 10,000 a day, 300,000 a month! That's 3.6 million a year!

The last time Zhang Feng was looking for treasure in the underground of Red Leaf City, he only dug up three million gold coins.

What's more, Zhang Feng felt that this one-tenth of the profit was too much, if he operated it himself, at least three layers of pure profit would exist, and the other party was more proficient than himself, and this profit might be higher!

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Feng instantly felt that he was still a poor person.

It's only a million gold coins, and you have to work hard!

Since it was winter, it got dark early.

About five o'clock, Zhang Feng went back to the hotel, if there was no banquet invited by the city lord, he should have gone to the Morgan Tavern in the evening, but since the city lord had invited him, Zhang Feng naturally couldn't help but give face.

"I'd like to take you to a dinner party, okay?"

Zhang Feng watched the lion orc speak.

"Yes."

Since Niu Jiaoniang agreed to Zhang Feng and signed a contract with Zhang Feng, before Zhang Feng found the crystal mine, he would naturally keep his promise, he knew that Zhang Feng wanted to let him protect him, it didn't matter, anyway, he was going to eat, the dinner party, it should be delicious!

After Zhang Feng left, Niu Jiao Niang had already told the lion orcs about the rules of Moer City, he was bought by Zhang Feng, and he was already a person who belonged to Zhang Feng, no matter what grievances he had with Moer City before, he would write them off now, and he didn't have to worry about being besieged by knights or something.

But then again, if he encounters them again, Felix will not be intimidated, and he will run away if he can't beat them, if he hadn't been tricked by them before, he wouldn't have been caught.

The lion orc promised that in Zhang Feng's expectation, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"No matter what your purpose is, I'll surprise you first!"

The lion orcs woke up, and they were still listening to Zhang Feng's orders!

For the city lord of Moore City, I don't know if it was a surprise or a fright.

At the same time, the city lord's mansion of the city of Mor.

In the hall of the city lord, on the main seat on the high place, a woman with a beautiful face and a cold temperament muttered to herself:

"It's useless to belittle my City Lord's Mansion and even me, I'm going to surprise you, I want to see, in front of me, do you dare to say that? Hope this surprise didn't scare you, giggles! ”

After speaking, the city lord seemed to think of something happy, and showed a bright smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, but unfortunately, there was no one else in the hall except the city lord, and no one could appreciate this beautiful scene.

"Report, Magistrate Ferret asks to see!"

The soldier outside the door suddenly shouted loudly.

"Let him in."

The city lord came back to her senses, she restrained her mood, her tone was cold, and she instantly returned to the identity of the iron-masked city lord.

After a while, an old man in his sixties walked in.

"Tell the city lord, the expansion plan of the castle has been revised, when do you think the construction will start?"

"Expansion?"

The city lord was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes were faintly filled with anger.

"No more construction, all expansion plans cancelled! Don't mention it again! ”

"Huh? This...... Be! ”
