In the blue sky of the grassland, under the huge scorching sun, Zhang Huansheng smiled and said the answer he had prepared, "Lord Steward, I am different from Brother Langlijiao.

He was a maritime merchant who had been in the Western Qin Dynasty for a long time, and had many wealthy and noble customers who had been in business for decades, so when buying slaves, he could buy slaves according to the needs of those high rollers, as long as he could sell soldiers, warriors, beauties or even monks for a large price, and at the very least, those craftsmen who could do carpentry, winemaking, and lacquermaking.

As for me, I am just a fledgling businessman with little assets but no connections in Western Qin, and only by selling ordinary Western Qin merchants and ordinary slaves that wealthy families can afford, I am most sure that I will not lose my capital.

I don't know what the price of the young male and female slaves who have no strengths, but are just strong and healthy, do you want to sell them? ”

Hearing this, Unger showed an expression of appreciation, and said leisurely: "Although the sea owner is not very old, he is quite self-aware, which is very rare.

In fact, after a long journey of thousands of miles and a lot of torture, there are very few old and young among the slaves who are still alive, and the nine CDs are sturdy young men and women, if you don't pick, buy them directly, and pay them according to the price of seven times the same body? ”

The so-called price of grain that is equal to seven times that of the body means that if a person weighs 100 catties, he is worth 700 catties of gold and silver that he can buy, and according to the calculation of three silver beads for 100 catties of grain in the forest, it is 21 silver beads.

This is incredibly cheap in the prosperous hinterland of Yanhuang, but in troubled times, it is not as good as a dog, and the bid is already quite high in Unger's mind.

And then, as he expected, Zhang Huansheng frowned slightly when he heard the price, and said with a bitter face: "Big housekeeper, you should know that this cross-sea slave trade, transporting fine goods that can enter the eyes of the nobles of Western Qin, if you transport this ordinary goods, it is completely based on quantity."

There must be people crowded in the cabin, people stacked with people, and the thousands of miles of sea travel down, even if the slaves are durable to survive, they will save five or six out of ten, and this cost is equivalent to doubling at once.

What's more, sailing on the sea is extremely risky, and a giant ship that costs thousands of gold beads will sink if it is said to be sunk..."

After smiling and listening to Zhang Huansheng's complaints, Anger asked slowly: "Then what price do you want to come up with?" ”

"Big housekeeper, I just looked at it from a distance on the uphill side, those slaves who cut the grass were thin dry chickens, they used to be two hundred catties of men, and now I am afraid that even the belt bones are left about one hundred and ten catties," Zhang Huansheng said thoughtfully: "So let's not be so troublesome to pay seven times the price of grain."

I picked and bought them one by one, and one person gave ten silver beads, what do you think? ”

Anger laughed when he heard this: "Lord Hai, you repaid the price, but you killed half of my bid, how can this be done." ”

"How can there be half, the female streams among those slaves, I see that most of them are not even fifty catties, and if you calculate carefully, maybe the big housekeeper has made some money, that is, the strong man has repaid the price." When Zhang Huansheng heard this, he looked like a real businessman, stirring his tongue and grinning.

"Tell me how many slaves you want to buy?" Unger asked with a deep groan.

Legend has it that the 'human seed bag' of the Buddha Maitreya from the Middle East can hold 1,000 living people and make them immortal for 10,000 years.

And the human pockets imitated by the monks in the Great Sumeru Temple naturally cannot have such a miraculous effect, and the worse ones can hold dozens of people, and they will not die for more than a month;

The medium one can hold more than 100 people, and it will not die for 100 days;

The best ones can pretend to be four or five hundred people and not die for half a year, while the most extreme ones can pretend to be the number of people who return to the truth, that is, eight hundred and ten, and they will not die for many years.

The 17 human pockets that Zhang Huansheng carried around his neck were all of the highest quality, and together they could hold 13,770 people.

He originally came to the forest to take refuge and had nothing to do, thinking about buying 800 female slaves to reconcile the hidden danger of the imbalance between men and women in Zhangyi, but seeing that the tens of thousands of Chu people who were captured by the barbarians were about to starve, he couldn't help but feel compassion and hesitated: "Let's buy 13,000 people first." ”

In the past, Na Langli Jiao and others only sold more than 3,000 people in a cross-sea slave trade for many years, but Zhang Huansheng directly bought 13,000 slaves for the first time, which inevitably seemed too exaggerated and arrogant, but in fact, people who knew how to do it knew that this was not the case.

It's like a thing of the same regulation, some of which are made of gold and silver, and some of which are made of wood and stone, which are extremely cheap, and the same thing.

The slaves who bought and sold in the waves were all 'Biren' who either had martial arts, or had charming faces, and even knew how to spell, and the most unfortunate ones also had a skill, and the value was tens or hundreds of times that of those who could only dig and eat slaves in the soil.

Transporting this kind of slave across the sea is also much more troublesome than transporting ordinary slaves, for example, the cabin under the deck of the giant ship in Langli Jiao has been transformed into a prison, and the place that could have squeezed thousands of slaves has become only four or five hundred people.

However, Zhang Huansheng has already explained that he does not pick or choose, as long as he buys more than 10,000 of ordinary sturdy goods, he can live a few thousand at most when he is transported to Western Qin, and after he sells it, he may not be as good as a maritime merchant like Langlijiao, who makes more money by selling 100 slave soldiers.

So although he wants a lot of money, it is reasonable.

Anger listened, and secretly pondered in his heart for a while: "In this way, how about you give me 1,600 gold beads for 13,000 slaves." ”

Zhang Huansheng hid the 12,000 gold beads in his arms from Li Shuimiao, who had reformed his ways, and when he killed the bandits and Qingxiao Mountain disciples who offended him for no reason, he also robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he was very wealthy, and bargained with Anger, but he just wanted to be more realistic.

At this time, he felt that the time had come, so he nodded and said, "Then so be it, but I have one more request, I hope that the housekeeper will fulfill it."

When I walked towards the big tent, I was hugged by an old slave, and when I asked, it turned out that he was mistaken for a junior in the family.

Now that I think about it, although it is a misunderstanding, but there is also fate, I wonder if you can ask you to give me that old slave as an additive, I will find a place for him to settle in Zhuangzi at will, which can be regarded as a good deed. ”

When Unger heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's just a trivial matter, I'll just tell someone to do it later."

Speaking of which, it is better for you merchants of Chu to do this kind of good deed, and I know that the metropolis will do it. ”

Selling tens of thousands of compatriots overseas, torturing and killing thousands of people along the way, saving a lonely old man to calm his own heart is really the most hypocritical good deed.

Zhang Huansheng heard the ridicule hidden in Anger's words, and secretly thought in his heart: "I didn't expect this seemingly sleek old oilman in the forest to have a bit of temperament. On the surface, he said gratefully: "Thank you to the housekeeper."

Then let's choose the slaves, and I'll be able to return early after that. ”
