Zhennan Market is the largest market in Heilin Town. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Slave Bazaar.
In the country where power determines fate, slaves are extremely common, from the imperial capital to the third-level towns, and each town has a slave market.
Manpower is a key element in the development of all towns and cities.
Slaves come from many sources, whether they are sinners who have violated the laws of the land of forsaken boats, they may be desperate inferior people, they may be outcasts when the third-level towns are destroyed, or they may be vagrants who are hunted and hunted.
In short, once they were branded with a black circle around their necks, they were sent to the slave market to be sold as goods.
For goods, buying and selling, it is normal.
"Captain, here we are. ”
The person who spoke was called Huang Liu, with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, a smile on his face, all flattering looks, and he was not very old, that is, in his early twenties.
He also belonged to the first batch of reserve sergeants, and was one of the oldest of the eighty-seven house slaves, who was selected by Qiao Ximing to lead him to Zhennanji.
"This is a low-level slave area, no grade, ten districts according to age and gender, captain, how big do you want to see?" Huang Liu bowed slightly, bowed his head and asked.
For this boy who was younger than him, Huang Liu's heart was already full of awe.
Although this captain is young, it has been five days since one hundred and thirteen people entered the Zuo Sige military field, and everyone has been beaten at least once, especially that Guan Xin, who was sent to their team because he offended an important person in the family, and now he will not look like a man when he goes home every day.
But it's all self-inflicted, and I always look like I'm not even convinced by the god of the boat, and I don't have a long memory!
For Guan Xin, Huang Liu's heart was full of disdain, and although he was a slave who was branded in the black circle, at least he knew how to stammer better than the children of this family.
No, at least was he named by Captain Qiao to lead the way in Zhennanji!
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Liu felt proud, and felt that the rest of his life would be much better.
Qiao Ximing ignored Huang Liu, who was thinking carefully, and looked indifferent: "Over ten years old, under twenty-five years old, both men and women." ”
"Okay, Captain, come with the little one!"
Huang Liu immediately lowered his waist and led the way in front, leading Qiao Ximing and a few of Du Tianwen's men down to the area of low-level young slaves.
Since the slave market has developed into an indispensable part of every town, it has gradually given birth to planning, different ability levels, different genders, different age groups, all of which have been specifically divided, although the market always exudes a faint rancid smell, but the overall appearance is not chaotic, but organized.
Qiao Ximing's requirements are not much, young slaves in their teens to twenties are also one of the most traded commodities in the market, second only to young and strong people in the range of thirty to fifty.
"Captain, you see, the ages here are all in their twenties, the male slaves are on this side, and the female slaves are next door. ”
Slaves who have become commercial goods will naturally not be treated very well, more than a dozen in a row, their necks are branded with black circles, their hands and feet are tied to very thick ropes, and the two ends are tied to the boulder of the market at this time, and one by one the figures are lying on their backs, waiting for the buyer to come to the door.
"Yo! This guest officer has a very good eye! My slaves here are young and powerful, and they have all kinds of goods, whether you want to bring them back to serve tea and water, or do some hard work, or other functions......
The slave trade volume in the third-level towns and cities is not much on weekdays, and when they saw Qiao Ximing and his party of five, the slave traders immediately greeted him with a smile, their eyes lingered on Qiao Ximing's back and neck for a while, and they pretended not to see anything and continued to introduce their goods.
No matter what identity he is, as long as he comes to the door, he is a guest, and if he wants to turn his face, he has to wait until the other party can't pay the money, and looking at the few servants behind the boy, it seems to have some background.
After all, you can't get along with money!
“...... We also provide femdom services, as long as you have needs, we will also deliver them to your door!"
As he spoke, the slave trader's eyes drifted over Huang Liu, and a faint sense of familiarity rose.
Huang Liu stepped forward: "Old Cross, do you remember me? I also went out from you back then, little Liuzi!"
The slave trader he called Old Cross looked at him slightly, and finally remembered that among the next batch of goods under his hands a few years ago, a young man who was the best at pleasing him, he couldn't help but show a little abrupt look.
"It turned out to be Xiao Liuzi!"
"Hehe, I knew that Old Cross remembered me!" Huang Liu rubbed his hands, glanced at Qiao Ximing behind him, and then said: "I brought a great nobleman over this time, the new Zuo Sige of Heilin Town, the young master of the Du family personally appointed Captain Qiao, you want to entertain you!"
Several names quickly floated through Old Cross's mind, and those who did their job were naturally extremely well-informed, and immediately reacted to Qiao Ximing's identity.
For Du Tianwen and Qin Ziyu to join the left and right Sige of Heilin Town, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this means a battle behind it, and most people are optimistic about Qin Ziyu in this battle.
There is no other reason, just because Du Tianwen is a concubine.
But Old Cross naturally didn't dare to show the information that flashed in his heart on his face, but smiled more and more brightly: "It turned out to be Captain Qiao, welcome, welcome!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and again to welcome Qiao Ximing and his party into the tent in his slave area.
"I wonder if Captain Qiao wants to buy slaves this time, is it for the purpose of building the army?" asked Old Cross with a smile in his eyes that flashed with the shrewdness of a businessman.
"Natural ......"
Qiao Ximing waved his hand to interrupt Huang Liu's words, and his slightly frowning action startled Huang Liu, and his drastic tactics sounded, Huang Liu immediately lowered his head and shut up, and retreated behind him.
Huang Liu retreated, Qiao Ximing also returned to his blandness, glanced at the old Cross who was watching quietly, and nodded lightly: "It is indeed for the purpose of building an army, and there may be a lot of them." ”
Old Cross laughed twice: "Then Captain Qiao, you can find the right person, my young people in their twenties here are the most suitable materials for the reserve!"
Qiao Ximing didn't respond, and looked at the rows of ropes in the tent.
Compared with the domestic slaves who were patched with family seals in the black circle, the slaves who were still for sale did not have sufficient nutritional supplies, plus the long-term poisonous shooting of the three suns, most of them were born black and thin, and they were not tall, not at all like about twenty, but only fifteen.
"Qualifications are better, aren't they?"
After a cursory look, this kind of qualification, before training, you have to make up for it, and it is really difficult to train within three months to produce some results.
When Old Cross heard this, a trace of triumph immediately flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a slightly embarrassed look: "More robust, there are two batches in the back tent, a total of three hundred people, just ......"
Qiao Ximing didn't look at him either, and his eyes returned to the slave he had just looked at.
Seeing that the guests didn't answer, Old Cross didn't look embarrassed, he had seen people of any kind of personality for so many years.
So, he finished his words to himself: "It's just that at noon yesterday, someone from Qin Sige's side came to see these three hundred people, and it seems that they want to buy it, but the price is not very acceptable, saying that they will go back to discuss it, maybe they will come over today and tomorrow!"
Qin Ziyu also sent someone to buy slaves, Qiao Ximing was not surprised by the news, but they were all chasing ducks to the shelves, three months of intensive training, and in the end, there were definitely not many people who could really produce results, and they spent normal money for urgent use, and maybe added the big mouth of the old Cross lion in front of them, no wonder they had to negotiate the price.
Three hundred young slaves with better goods, even if the Du family wants to buy them, they need to be carefully considered.
"Take me to see it first!"
"Okay!"
Old Cross answered, and immediately took Qiao Ximing to the back tent, opened the curtain, and the slaves inside were suddenly revealed.
Unlike the black and thin slaves outside, the three hundred people in the back tent were indeed much stronger, and they were much taller than those outside, although they all bowed their heads, but they had a little bit of the color that a young man should have.
Huang Liu looked at Qiao Ximing's face from behind, and felt that he should be satisfied with this group of slaves, so he stepped forward slightly and got closer to Old Cross: "Old Cross, Captain Qiao is a nobleman, you have to give a better price, don't open your mouth!"
Old Cross immediately pretended to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! I will show Captain Qiao, of course the price is cheaper, a noble person like Captain Qiao, I will be the cost price at most, where will I open my mouth!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Liu smiled, disapproving.
When he was still in the hands of this profiteer and didn't ship the goods, I didn't see him cheat less.
"Then these three hundred, how do you sell them?"
Old Cross's eyes drifted over Qiao Ximing, who looked indifferent, and he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "At this time, there are two batches of goods, a batch of two hundred and twenty people, and a group of eighty people, the unit price of more is five hundred and fifty green coins, and the less is six hundred green coins for one person." ”
In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass.
Qiao Ximing's mind inexplicably flashed the words that the old man had said.
The price of five or six hundred green coins is just three sets of first-class brute beast materials, but they can buy the young man in his prime in front of him, if he hadn't been born a 'dog' in the family at that time, he must have been bargained like this.
The price difference of fifty green coins is actually not much reflected in the appearance of the two groups of people, and Qiao Ximing did not pursue it, but roughly calculated it in his heart.
The two batches add up to the price of nearly seventeen purple coins.
Half a year ago, Du Tianwen wanted three purple coins to buy Qiao Ximing's brute beast materials, and the owner of the beast material shop was already red-eyed, and now the transaction of these seventeen purple coins is of course really not small.
In fact, the three purple coins that Du Tianwen took out that day accounted for a large part of the pocket money he had accumulated over the years, as a concubine, even if he was loved by his grandfather, he still couldn't use the family's resources at will.
And this time when he came to Heilin Town, the materials that Du Tianwen brought were only worth more than forty purple coins, and there were only more than twenty purple coins in circulation.
Glancing at the few batches of slaves, several teenagers showed a bit of different temperaments, and Qiao Ximing's heart moved slightly.
"Since there is a unit price, it can be bought separately?"
