Chapter 175: The Slave Trade
Xingchenmeng looked at Wei Duo with gentle eyes, and said lightly, "It's not a brother, I won't give you the stairs, your door is so open, don't you feel the wind?"
Weido looked down and saw that there was a crack in the crotch of his pants at the door below due to the pose. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ah~~~~~~h
He didn't even notice how Wei Duo was gone, and Xingchen Meng whispered secretly, "Could it be that this kid is a space magician? ”
Ignoring the cold and windy appearance of Weiduo and those guards in the embarrassment, Xingchenmeng walked straight into the auction, because Weiduo had such a fanfare and Xingchenmeng's dialogue, the welcoming girls at the door as long as they were not deaf listened to clearly, Xingchenmeng and Estes were welcomed to a VIP room without paying any fees, and they could clearly look at the scene of the auction in full swing in front of them, and the bidding was one after another, and the business was booming.
"Welcome girl, do you have any leaflets?" Xing Chenmeng said lightly as he looked at the welcome who brought him.
"This young master, I'll prepare it for you right away, please wait," the greeter said in a very respectful voice.
I have to say that the efficiency of this welcome girl, she just went out less than a minute before she came in with a thick notebook, and said respectfully, "This is all the items from the next auction item to tonight, young master, can you see it?"
Xingchenmeng picked up the thick information book, and gave a detailed introduction to any item in the auction, and even marked it on a few hands, and couldn't help but look at it.
Xingchenmeng looked at the last book, which was densely packed with names, including men and women, old and young, strong and weak, and asked curiously, "This is."
Yingbin glanced at the blue notebook, and immediately said clearly, "Young master, this is the slave roster, which is prepared for those big landlords and lords, a cheap slave is only ten purple gold coins, and those with strength will have more, and the slaves who reach the god level are almost ten thousand purple gold coins, and the number of saint level is even less, sixty thousand amethyst coins are needed, and the peak one can be sold for 200,000 or even higher." ”
Xingchenmeng looked at the dense markings on it, there were nearly 300,000 middle-level martial arts mages, more than 100,000 high-level ones, thousands of god-level ones, and less than 100 saint-level ones, and said, "You go and ask Weiduo, I want all these intermediate and above." ”
After listening to Xingchenmeng's words, Yingbin was surprised for a while, not because the young master in front of him asked for so many slaves, but because this young master dared to call the young master by his name here, and hurriedly turned around and left.
"Everything, don't you want it all?" and ask me about this, give my brother a six-fold discount, free shipping" Wei Duo was joking with Xie Lei in the City Lord's Mansion, and a slave stepped forward to disturb him and was very impatient, but when he heard that it was Xingchenmeng's matter, he just bought a few slaves, and blasted out, leaving a paragraph, and the slave could only smile helplessly.
"Free shipping" Xingchenmeng didn't expect Weiduo's service spirit to be so good, and he also delivered it for free, so he hurriedly notified the C.C Queen and others at home, and summoned Huang Quan and Chi Tong to his side to take care of the transportation.
Although the Star Empire has laid down a large area of land at present, and the population is still quite large, but in some areas, the situation of the lack of warriors is serious, and under various plans, it is faced with a shortage of labor, a shortage of troops, a small population distribution density, and a surplus of idle land.
However, within the adjacent alliances, it is a completely opposite result, the shortage of land, the overpopulation, the surplus of troops, and the number of strong people, because the Star Empire belongs to the mountainous area, in addition to the opposing forces such as the Dawning Sect in the south, the relative peace in the east, often crosses the border to recruit troops, to supplement the barracks in the southern region, and even bought slaves on a large scale, but in the end it was vigilant by those alliances in the east, and secretly sabotaged the slave trade many times, resulting in the Star Empire being unable to effectively replenish the population.
However, many people who migrated to the Star Empire were attracted to this beautiful country, and the various support policies and national atmosphere alone firmly attracted the low-level ordinary civilian class, causing many low-level civilians in other empires to secretly migrate.
In addition to increasing the burden of the imperial organs, the number of city guards is also insufficient, a city with only a few hundred thousand people has suddenly increased to more than a few million, and the city guards are still only tens of thousands.
"Master, what are we buying these slaves for, although some people have strength, but it is more difficult to manage than the captive army, and there may be escape from time to time" Estes looked at a slave gathering area, which was mixed with dragons and snakes, and it was dark all over the place.
"The captive army is not unlimited, there are all the moments when the military merit arrives to turn positive or go home, but these slaves are different, as long as they are equipped, the combat power is not inferior to the captive army, after the arrival of the war merit, you can select some talents to join the army or the war demon hall, and the remaining ferocious people have been cannon fodder, as long as we keep collecting this kind of strong slave among the slaves, then we can not only avoid many casualties of the regular army, but also reduce the increase in pensions, and at the same time give the regular army to increase experience and training time, most of our regular army has not been trained well, and many soldiers have not been able to master the ability to fight alone, the experience of clan battles is very different from our elite troops in the big countries compared to ours. ”
Estes looked at Xingchenmeng and commented helplessly, "Not every soldier can train like the Soaring Wings Knights, although they are an army, their qualifications are limited, unless you can issue a Qualification Soul Nourishing Pill to everyone." ”
"Qualification Soul Nourishing Pill, even those Battle Demon Hall disciples in Xienpusi can't afford it, let alone the army, but this reminds me that the talents in the army can be trained intensively," Xing Chenmeng expressed his thoughts, but was interrupted by Estes without hesitation.
"In this way, the combat strength of our front-line army will decline again, do you want to establish a military academy in training? But there is no way to produce results in a few years, and it is not as fast as cultivating talents on the battlefield, let's still train while fighting" Estes bluntly said that what Xingchen Meng thought was not suitable for the current situation of the Xingchen Empire.
"But," Xingchenmeng was about to say something, but was interrupted by Estes.
"But don't we already have a lot of school cities? There are a lot of military subjects in it, waiting for the first batch of cadets to graduate, and being assigned to the army, the time is much faster than in the establishment of a military academy, and the subjects in the establishment of a military academy are also the same in the school city, and the funds for those exercises you specially approved are almost the same as the number of people in the city guards" Estes directly cut off Xingchenmeng's idea of doing more.
