Chapter 263: Talent Market

Suwu County Talent Market, referred to as 'human market', in fact, this abbreviation is in line with the essence of this market, it can be described as a word, translated, it can be called 'slave market'.

The reason why it is called the name of the talent market is not Li Kang's own bad taste, this name was obtained by Duanmuci, the first mayor of Suwu Town, and it has nothing to do with Li Kang, and I don't know what kind of psychology Duanmuci took at that time, taking such a name, anyway, after Li Kang heard it for the first time, he felt quite ironic.

After Bai Qishan came to the human market, he was shocked by the scale inside.

"It's so big! it's a lot!" Bai Qishan sighed.

"Big" means that there is a lot of space in the market, and "a lot" means that there are a lot of people, whether it is customers or 'goods'.

"The talent market deserves to be called the talent market, and there is really everyone there. ”

The gray-haired old man, the babies, the naked young men, the young girls I saw, the yellow-skinned victims, the ragged women, the scrawny young children...... There are branches on the head one by one, and the price is clearly marked, which is the so-called insertion of the label to sell the head, and now Huaxia has inherited the 'fine tradition' passed down by the ancestors.

In addition to these ordinary goods, there are also intellectuals whose clothes are washed white and who are quiet and quiet; grassland warriors who are wild and untamable with iron chains on their hands and feet; official ladies who are still noble and noble in the middle of their homes; and beautiful singers who are more beautiful than peach blossoms......

Among the steppe barbarians, the Di people, the Huns, the Darong people, the Mocha people, the Helin people, the Tuman people, the Keqin people, the He Min, the Gaonu people, etc., the Zhongshan people, the Ming people, the Huang people, the Longwei people, the Hengshan people, the Fu people, etc., and the dozens of tribes and tribesmen in the forest aborigines, can be said to be the people of all ethnic groups gathered in this small talent market.

There are some strange races, Bai Qishan has never heard of them.

And the facial expressions of these humanoid commodities are also colorful and diverse, most of them are expressionless and insensitive, obviously these people have lost their temper at all from the cruel reality, they are all old drivers of the slave class, and they have no hope for the future.

There are also some newcomers who have just entered the industry with a look of fear on their faces, and they are at a loss for what will happen next.

There are also those who are bold, or optimistic by nature, or unwilling to give in to fate, and struggle in vain, seizing every opportunity to pretend pity and show themselves to anyone who seems to be a good-hearted master, and strive to gain the compassion and love of the 'great good man', so as to get out of the sea of suffering...

Bai Qishan has a tender face, and looks dignified, it looks like a good-faced person, no, where his eyes turn, there are slaves with wide eyes of hope, showing him a flattering smile, which makes him very uncomfortable for a while, after all, it is a conscience, but there is a fluttering feeling, this feeling of deciding the fate and future of people in a word is too addictive!

"What's the matter?, Brother Bai can't bear it?" Chi Longguang couldn't help but ask when he saw Bai Qishan's expression was a little abnormal.

Bai Qishan nodded and shook his head again.

Chi Longguang was puzzled.

Bai Qishan said: "People's hearts are all flesh and blood, and they will always have compassion for the weak, which is nothing to avoid, so I really can't bear it... However, in the world of great contention, the law of the jungle eats the strong, the survival of the fittest, either you die or I die, tragedy happens all the time, no matter how sympathetic you are, how many people can you sympathize with? I only hope that this kind of misery will not happen to my own people..."

Chi Longguang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Let's encourage all the gentlemen!"

Bai Qishan nodded, didn't say anything, and then walked around the city with Chi Longguang, this time only the two of them came to the market, Liu Qingyun went to the Huaxia Rubber Factory alone to purchase viscose.

"Eh, take a walk and take a look, the best and strongest, farming, nursing homes, and carrying bags are all the best choices!" A trafficker hammered a young man with his fist on the chest, shouting hard.

Bai Qishan stopped in front of this stall and became interested in the young man who sold it, but he didn't directly ask about the market, but asked Chi Longguang next to him curiously: "Why do you walk around, there is no slave selling craftsmen, langzhong, account offices, etc., even painters, poets, kabuki, warriors, animal trainers, acrobats, and broken nobles, it stands to reason that these people should not be missing?"

After walking around like this, whether it was seen by himself or heard through the shouting, Bai Qishan did not find any news about these technical talents, which obviously did not match the signboard of the talent market!

Chi Longguang didn't know, he didn't usually pay attention to these, with his identity, if it wasn't for accompanying Bai Qishan, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the city in person, so Chi Longguang decisively turned his gaze to the few long followers who followed behind.

As the master's long-term entourage, it is a necessary skill to observe words and colors, and Chi Longguang accompanies his friends to take them with him, which must be to facilitate the help of errands and answer questions, so they are all wide-eyed and upright ears along the way, and they listen carefully to what the master says.

Feeling the inquiring gaze cast by Chi Longguang, the most clever one immediately took the lead, ignoring the jealous eyes of his companions, and replied with a sneer: "Uncle and Bai Gongzi don't know, the slaves transported by the tooth merchants from all over the country are divided into two parts, and the public has a certain amount, and the rest will be sent to this human city after the public house is full, those craftsmen..."

"You don't need to say it, Ben Gongzi understands. Chi Longguang stretched out his hand to interrupt the words of the long follower, and then turned his head to look at Bai Qishan.

"Hehe..."Bai Qishan touched his nose helplessly, and said, "Brother Chilong, it seems that I don't have this luck." ”

Who doesn't know the temper of the public family? They have always eaten alone! With the shogunate's current thirst for technical talents, how could anyone slip through the net? It is estimated that anyone who can make a chair has been searched by them.

In fact, there is one thing that Bai Qishan they don't know, it is precisely because of the rise of Suwu Town and the demand for slaves in the market that these slaves are indirectly harmed.

Originally, the Hedong region liked to exile criminals to the Wilderness of Atonement, where birds don't, the land is barren, and the order is chaotic, which is equivalent to suffering in the past. But now it's different, the appearance of Suwu Town breaks this convention, and the criminals exiled to the Wilderness of Atonement go to Suwu Town to drill into Suwu Town, take a bath and be a good man, it's the same as moving, basically there is no punishment effect at all.

After a long time, the Hedong countries were not fools, so it was natural to reduce the number of exiles to the Wilderness of Atonement, or simply no longer exile prisoners to the Wilderness of Atonement, and a large part of these extra prisoners were sold to slave traders, and then went around and around as slaves and came to Suwu Town.

But in this case, when you come to Suwu Town, the treatment is completely different.

What's more, these people didn't have to be slaves in the first place.

Therefore, being exiled to the Wilderness of Atonement can be said to be a blessing in misfortune for the group of criminals where the three members of the Hades family belong.

Of course, those who were reduced to slavery themselves did not know about this.

Bai Qishan saw that it was almost there, so he smiled at Chi Longguang, who understood and nodded at a long entourage behind him.

Seeing this, Chang Sui hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Junzi, the noble man came to the door today, you kid have to hurry!"
