Yu Shu thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason.

"Then do as you say, and I'll go out with you later."

Although she is not very accustomed to human trafficking, after all, in modern society, human trafficking is a crime, and it is the most disgusting crime.

But in ancient times, it was legal.

The slave society, inherited for thousands of years, is something she can resist alone.

I can't resist it, I can only accept it.

"Tomorrow, there will be a market tomorrow, there should be more people, let's pick one."

"Okay."

Following.

In the early morning, with a gentle breeze, Chu Yu took Yu Shu to the slave market in Yixian County.

It is said to be a market, but in fact it is an old alley, and as soon as I walked to the mouth of the alley, I heard the sound of boiling people floating from the depths of the alley.

"A lot of people?"

Chu Yu nodded with a heavy expression, "Yes, let's go in and have a look." ”

Walking into the alley, I saw a lot of people standing on the side of the road with low eyebrows, some are young girls, some are men, women and children, and some are all adult men and women.

Yu Shu frowned, carefully looked at the crowd on both sides, and for a while, he didn't know what to choose.

"Why are there so many people who sell themselves into slavery here? Didn't you say that the conditions in Yixian are not good? Where did so many people buy slaves and buy slaves? ”

Chu Yu's brows couldn't help but deepen.

"In the past two years, there have been fewer people here. Before the prince came to Qishan Mansion, the war broke out every year, and many ordinary people's families were destroyed and their wives were separated. Naturally, there were many people who sold themselves into slavery, and there were treacherous merchants, who took advantage of the large number of people to choose some good quality at a low price and buy them, and sold them in the south, and they could earn a lot of silver when they came and went. ”

The slave trade actually made Chu Yu say that it was like reselling grain in the north and south, and human life was so cheap in this era, which was embarrassing.

"What about the government? What about the imperial court? If the common people are in trouble, will the court not care about it? Just watch these people sell themselves into slavery, and from then on life and death are in the hands of others? ”

"Official? Do you say Ryu Myeongdae? Hmph, I'm afraid that these caravans of buying and selling slaves, the biggest and most profitable, are his people from Liu Mingtai! To the north of Yixian, there is a rolling mountain range, which is the most natural city wall given to Dajing by God. Therefore, as long as the generals of the garrison army are not too stupid, the general Beidi people will not be able to break the city. But if the city can't be broken, it doesn't mean that the people in the city won't suffer, and Liu Mingtai relied on this to make war money without fear. ”

In spring and summer, the people of Yixian County can still live their lives.

After all, in spring and summer, the lives of the Beizhi people and the barren people can go on, and there is nothing to loot in Yixian. In autumn, it is different, the autumn harvest of grain, it is a good season for the granary harvest, and winter is coming, the Beidi people are afraid that there will be no food for the winter, so they will naturally send people or through the mountains, or detour to the deserted city to Yixian and other counties in Qishan Prefecture to burn and loot.

In this way, the life of the people of Qishan Mansion can be described as unspeakable.

Until two years ago, the prince was named the king of Qi and came here to guard the border pass.

The arrogance of the Northern Zhai people was suppressed a lot, and the desolate people were also expelled to more desolate places north of the desolate city.

"It's a shame that he is still the prefect of one party, and he doesn't take it as his responsibility to protect the people, but he still does this kind of thing! How can that kind of person be worthy of being an official? And how did the imperial court choose? ”
