Chapter 5 Slaves

After taking Zheng Jun to inspect the largest hospital in Bacheng, Zheng Yangyun's summary became very proud, as if he had not been presiding over the work in Yin for a long time, but was a great witch who was resident in Bacheng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"In other cities, there is usually only one hospital, but few cities have two, and the scale is far inferior to this. I can count the cities with 3 hospitals, but Bacheng has 5 hospitals, and the other four hospitals are only slightly worse than here. ”

After introducing the hospital, Zheng Yangyun leaned slightly sideways, and his right hand was slightly raised to form a plane with his body.

"Saint, please go this way, not far from this street, there is the central market, which is the largest market in the entire Bashu land, and there is nothing you can't buy there. ”

Walking along the street after Zheng Yangyun, the other accompanying witches were a few steps behind him, and there were no guards around, of course, there was not a trace of smudge on the street, just like he saw in the morning, but he didn't see many residents passing by.

The street was clearly in the area of the wealthy, and the buildings on the side were more elaborate, and the walls of the street were carved with some nice frescoes, which were certainly inferior to those he had seen in the Hall of the Witches and the hospital just now.

Don't look at Zheng Yangyun leading the way in front of Zheng Jun, but he was very energetic and focused on Zheng Jun, and immediately found that the eyes of the saints fell on the surrounding murals.

"The surrounding murals were carved by the residents themselves, and most of them are the deeds of their ancestors, but most of them are exaggerated, but this is their freedom, and we will not interfere. ”

Zheng Jun listened, nodded lightly and said nothing.

The street is only about 200 meters away, and when you walk out of the street, you enter a huge open space, which is the central market.

It is an open space surrounded by surrounding streets that lead to every part of the city. The market, which is almost the size of two football fields, is packed with stalls and open-air shops, where merchants with all kinds of accents linger and indulge in all kinds of goods.

"This is the central bazaar, where everything from a needle to an ox cart of farm implements is available, and merchants from anywhere can find what they need, and the goods they bring from anywhere can find buyers. ”

Zheng Yangyun's explanation is very detailed, but the scene here is even more attractive to Zheng Jun, the cleanliness is really immersed in the city from the bones, even in such a place full of all kinds of goods and merchants who travel from south to north, it is almost spotless, no matter where the merchants come from, and no matter how tired they are, they take care of themselves before entering this market, even in the bargaining they maintain a polite demeanor.

Zheng Jun was surprised by the civilization and advancement embodied here, he walked around the market twice, and found that the goods here not only contain all kinds of necessities of life, but also have a lot of handicraft decorations, in terms of commercialization, this is simply Zheng Jun's cognition of ancient society has been completely subverted, you must know that there should be such a degree of commercialization in history should be the Song Dynasty.

"Please follow me this way, there is a large public bathhouse along this side, and every place in the great holy city is worth visiting. ”

The bathhouse, commonly known as the bathhouse, may not sound too lofty, but it was also an important preventive facility against epidemics, and in ancient Rome, the bathhouse was also an important social occasion. Anyway, at this time, Zheng Jun was very interested in visiting the big bathhouse, definitely not because of the legend that there were benefits for mixed baths for men and women.

Just as Zheng Jun was about to follow Zheng Yangyun to see the public bathroom, he saw more than a dozen ragged women on the side of the market, with their heads bowed, their hands and feet strung together by a rope, pushed and pulled by several merchants, into an alley.

Zheng Jun saw a lot of clean and tidy residents and foreign businessmen today, and this was the first time he saw people in such tattered clothes, so he couldn't help but pull Zheng Yangyun in front of him and pointed to the alley and asked.

"Where is that?"

As he pointed in the direction, Zheng Yangyun frowned slightly.

"It's the dirtiest place in the city, the slave market, but there are only Yi slaves, no human slaves, and our witch cult is not like other sects that have no bottom line. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd behind Zheng Jun, a big witch in there, nodding slightly at him.

"If the saint is interested, I can show you there, and I can assure you that there will be no violation of the rules of the witchcraft. ”

Zheng Jun almost forgot that this era was still an era of slaves, this was the slave society mentioned in the textbooks, and his mood immediately became heavy.

"Okay, let's take a look. ”

The slave market is connected to the central market by a street that is not too long, and it is half the size of the central market, but it is certainly not inferior to the central market.

Although it is a slave market, it is also kept basically clean, and there is a special place for slaves to be cleaned in the market, although it is called the most filthy place in Bacheng by Zheng Yangyun, but it is not as dirty as Zheng Jun imagined.

But in addition to this, what really surprised Zheng Jun was these slaves, these so-called Yi people, according to Zheng Jun's imagination, should be just some primitive humans with a lower level of civilization and more barbarism, but the real Yi people are much beyond his imagination.

All the slaves are not human, the most conspicuous of them is the tall minotaur with partial body scales, Zheng Jun recognized these minotaurs at a glance, obviously the same race as Zheng Jun once fought in the Ba tribe, the other slaves are male and female, but without exception are some human-like alien races. Zheng Jun probably shook a few times, and he recognized several aliens such as cat people, tiger people, werewolves, and bear people.

Is this what Yiren means?

Although there were all kinds of aliens here, Zheng Jun's gaze still kept sweeping over those few minotaurs, after all, they had left a deep impression on Zheng Jun.

"Those are the warriors of the Jiuli tribe, probably brought by the merchants in the southwest, and now there is only some news of the Jiuli tribe in the southwest. These minotaurs are the best miners, they have a lot of strength, but they are also very troublesome to manage, they are very aggressive, they are not very obedient to orders, and they are not too good slaves. ”

Zheng Yangyun next to him saw that Zheng Jun's attention had been paying attention to these minotaurs, and thought that he intended to buy them, so he tactfully dissuaded them. But at this time, although Zheng Jun was staring at the minotaur in his eyes, his heart had already turned several times.

"I remember you said before that the king of Xuan is reusing the Yiren, right? ”

"Yes, although Di Xin is eloquent and strategic, leading the army to destroy Dongyi, he favors the fox beauty Daji, and his behavior is becoming more and more absurd, before I came to the big gathering, I even heard that I want to free the slaves, but as long as Daji is removed, Di Xin must still be able to repent. But now that the witch god has made a decree, there must be something that mortals like me couldn't foresee. ”

Talking about Di Xin, that is, the king of Shang in later generations, Zheng Yangyun's mood is very complicated, as a great witch who has presided over the work in Yin for a long time, he still has a good impression of the once very wise Di Xin.

After listening to Zheng Yangyun's introduction to the King of Xuan, Zheng Jun's heart was shocked and panicked, and he needed to pinch his thighs fiercely, and even twist to the point of turning blue, so as not to show it directly on his face.

"What the hell is going on??!!"
