Chapter 352: The price of foreign slaves skyrocketed
In order to build a picturesque mountain villa, Chen Yu asked 500 private soldiers to make soap and perfume with Ma Li, Ma Ya, and Ma Liya in the morning, and pretended to learn all kinds of knowledge from Anne and Anna in the afternoon.
A few days later, he got some new varieties of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, and handed them to Zhao Zhiyuan and Ma Wencai.
Ten days later, the coal mine officially started, and after more than half a month, a small steelmaking plant took shape......
There are five foreign girls in front, and the problems of grain seeds and machinery and equipment can be pushed on foreign girls.
"Master Ma, foreigners know a lot." Zhao Zhiyuan sighed.
"Yes, Lord Zhao, who would have thought that the crystal clear cup would be made of sand." Ma Wencai said.
"Master Ma, I heard that there is a human trafficker in the city, who specializes in selling all kinds of foreigners." Zhao Zhiyuan said.
"Lord Zhao, how many foreigners do you want to buy too?" Ma Wencai asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know if Master Ma also wants to buy a few foreigners?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
"How about going together?" Ma Wencai asked.
"That's what I mean!" Zhao Zhiyuan said.
The two left the government together, and half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
"Grass King Yicheng, I have seen two adults." Wang Yicheng, a human trafficker, saluted respectfully.
"Wang Yicheng, do you have foreigners here?" Ma Wencai asked.
"My lord, what is a foreigner?" Wang Yicheng wondered.
"Blonde interracial." Ma Wencai said.
"Yes, I have more than 100 foreigners here, and some black slaves." Wang Yicheng said.
It took more than half an hour, referring to Anne Anna's appearance, and the two of them each picked three foreign girls.
"Master Ma, do you know foreign language?" Zhao Zhiyuan asked. The three foreign girls he bought spoke in foreign language, and he suddenly smiled bitterly when he couldn't understand the language.
"Lord Zhao, I don't know foreign either." Ma Wencai said with a frown.
"Hou Ye's five foreign girls all know Chinese, why don't we buy a few more foreign girls who can speak Chinese?" Zhao Zhiyuan proposed.
"That's great!" Ma Wencai nodded.
The two asked their respective servants to send the three foreign girls they bought back to the mansion, and then returned together.
"I've seen two adults." Wang Yicheng bowed respectfully.
"Do you have any foreigners here who can speak Chinese?" Ma Wencai asked.
"Two adults, I don't have foreigners here who can speak Chinese, but I know a few Daxia people who can speak foreign." Wang Yicheng said.
"Where are they?" Ma Wencai couldn't wait to ask.
"The grass people will take the two adults to find them." Wang Yicheng said.
Time is like flowing water, and it is a few days in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Wang, do you have good goods here?" Liu Dong asked.
"Brother Liu, just look at it, I'll give you a twenty percent discount." Wang Yicheng said.
"Why are they all like this?" Liu Dong frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"Brother Liu, do you want to take a look at the foreign girl?" Wang Yicheng asked.
"What bridle?" Liu Dong asked curiously.
"Blonde woman." Wang Yicheng said.
"Isn't that a demon?" Liu Dong said disdainfully.
"Brother Wang, you are wrong, Lord Chen, Lord Chen, Lord Zhao, Lord Bo Ma, they all have foreign girls in their houses, and I heard that foreign girls are skilled...... Since you don't want it, forget it. Wang Yicheng said.
"Really?" Liu Dong asked suspiciously.
"I can't fool anyone, right?" Wang Yicheng said with a smile.
"Take me to see the demon, no, it's a foreign girl." Liu Dong said.
"Big enough on the top and warped enough on the bottom, right?" Wang Yicheng asked with a smile.
"It's just that the skin isn't hydrated enough." Liu Dong said.
"Brother Liu, the ruler is long and the inch is short, how can there be a perfect person?" Wang Yicheng said.
"How much is it?" Liu Dong asked.
"Originally, one hundred taels of silver, I will give you an eighty percent discount, eighty taels of silver, how about it?" Wang Yicheng said.
"Why don't you grab it? I heard others say, you only sold more than 20 taels of a foreign girl before, and now you want me for 80 taels, Brother Wang, you are too unkind, right? Liu Dong said angrily.
"Brother Liu, don't you know, the Hu people went south last year...... 800,000 Hu people were killed and wounded, and now that our Daxia has cut off contact with the Hu people, there is one less foreign girl to sell, and the price is the same every day. Wang Yicheng said confidently.
"All the foreign girls were sold by the Hu people?" Liu Dong asked.
"Isn't it? Most of the foreign girls are from the country of Ulla. Wang Yicheng said.
"Brother Wang, can it be cheaper?" Liu Dong asked.
"Brother Liu, I have already given you an eight-percent discount, no matter how cheap it is, I will lose money, if you don't want to buy it, if you change it to someone else, even if you give me a hundred taels of silver, I may not be willing to sell." Wang Yicheng said.
At this moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked in proudly, and said proudly: "The surname Wang, pull out all the best foreign girls you have here and show them to Young Master Ben." ”
"Young Master Qian, how many foreign girls do you want?" Wang Yicheng asked with a smile on his face.
"Let's see how the goods are first, and then Master Ben will decide whether to buy them, or how much to buy them back." Qian Duobao said.
"Brother Wang, this is eighty taels of silver, what about her deed of sale?" Liu Dong hurriedly asked.
"Brother Liu, go back and enjoy it." Wang Yicheng took the silver with a smile and handed the other party a deed of sale.
"The surname is Wang, where is my foreign girl?" Qian Duobao asked.
"Young Master Qian, I'll take you to pick it." Wang Yicheng said with a smile, if it weren't for the silver, how could he, as a human trafficker, be a second-generation businessman.
In the Great Xia Empire, it was not illegal to sell foreign races, and it was also legal to buy and sell people.
For example, if someone loses money in gambling and takes his wife and children to offset the account, the government will not pursue it.
Those whose homes were raided by the imperial court, except for those who were pulled to behead and those who were not sentenced to death, would also be sold by the government.
Regular human traffickers either have ties to the government or have a group of ruthless people under them.
I heard that the prefect Chen, the prefect Zhao, and the lord Bo Ma all like foreign girls, and rich people followed suit.
Historically, talent is valuable, body is also valuable, in short, talented or talented people are valuable.
Last year, the Hu people went south to fight the grass valley, nearly 800,000 Hu people were young and strong, and they stayed in the Great Xia Empire forever.
Now under the pursuit of officials and businessmen, the price of foreign girls has risen as soon as they see the sky, and in less than ten days, a foreign girl has risen to 1,000 taels of silver.
If there is no foreign girl in the family, it is inevitable that you will be ridiculed over and over again by those vassal and elegant fox friends and dog friends.
"Lord Zhao, will the three foreign girls you bought make soap?" Ma Wencai asked.
"None of them." Zhao Zhiyuan said.
"Will they make steel?" Ma Wencai asked again.
"No, it won't." Zhao Zhiyuan said.
"Do they make cement?" Ma Wencai asked again.
"No, it won't." Zhao Zhiyuan said depressedly.
"Eh, the three foreign girls I bought back are also waste." Ma Wencai said.
"Hou Ye's five foreign girls, all of them are erudite and talented, and the foreign girls we bought don't know anything." Zhao Zhiyuan sighed.
"Master Hou's luck is against the sky, it's not something we can compare." Ma Wencai said.
"Master Ma, the five foreign girls of Master Hou were all bought in Jinghe County, or else, let's repair a book and let Zhu Zhengfei help us buy a few foreign girls?" Zhao Zhiyuan proposed.
"Just what I want." Ma Wencai said with a smile.
