"Ahh Renyazi is well-informed, and knows that the Seventh Prince has been crowned king and is about to go to the fiefdom, and he will definitely need manpower, which is a big deal.

"Ahem, I've seen my lord." Gao Xiang coughed, and Zhao Zili behind him walked over.

"Hey, the grass people like to see the prince." With a plop, Xibao knelt on the ground, he didn't expect King Song to come in person, and he was so frightened that he trembled.

"Okay, get up, this king needs craftsmen of all kinds, money is not a problem." Zhao Zili didn't have the time to deal with a person, so he said the purpose straightforwardly.

Xibao stood up, wiped Han, and said shyly: "The prince is polite, a group of blacksmiths and cooks just came, and the little one will take you to have a look." ”

Under the leadership of Xi Bao, a batch of iron cages were brought up, and six or seven people were held in each cage.

"Lord Wang, these are convicted people, being used as slaves, look at it." Xibao patted the iron cage while introducing: "Tell you untouchables, this is His Royal Highness the King of Song, and it is your blessing to follow him." ”

Zhao Zili frowned, although he knew the rules of this world, but as a five-good young man in the 21st century, he still didn't like it.

shook his hand and said to Xibao: "Okay, you step back and I'll ask the rest." ”

Xibao smiled and stepped aside.

Zhao Zili's gaze swept over the iron cage, and the people who were seen were full of fear and squeezed together with each other.

Suddenly, three adult men in the No. 3 iron cage caught his attention, the three of them were muscular and had some bearing, not like ordinary slaves.

Walking to the iron cage, Zhao Zili asked out loud: "This king sees that you are strong and not like ordinary slaves, so let's talk about your origin." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the eldest of them stood up, knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to the prince, the grass people Tang Tian, the three brothers are Tang Di and Tang Hai, they were originally from a family of blacksmiths in Liangzhou, but because my father was loyal and honest, he offended the local magnates, and I was imprisoned, and finally fell to this." ”

I see, Zhao Zili nodded, looked at it again, and asked, "I saw the three of you, your father." ”

"My father was old, and he died of illness on the way out of Liangzhou." After that, the three brothers couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"You are the Liangzhou Tang family!" Ren Yazi Xibao exclaimed.

"What, are they famous?" Gao Xiang asked on the side, Zhao Zili was also very curious, but the blacksmith's tooth reaction seemed to be a bit big, could it be that he had picked up a treasure.

"Lord Wang, the Tang family in Liangzhou was the first forging family in the world hundreds of years ago, and Liangzhou was also prosperous for a while, but an accident a hundred years ago thought that the Tang family had completely disappeared, but I didn't expect there to be descendants." People go south and north, and there are still these things that I have seen and heard.

"Yes, I'll wait for the official descendants of the Tang family." Tang Tian was still a little proud of his background.

"Okay, I want these three people, you can open it at any price." Zhao Zili waved his hand, this is a talent that must not be missed.

"The prince laughed, it was their blessing to meet you, and the market price grass people would definitely not ask for more." Xibao's heart is dripping blood, these three people are treasures, and he doesn't dare to offend the prince, so he can only endure it.

"If you want to rebuild the Tang family, follow me, and your father's revenge can be avenged one day, I promise." Zhao Zili said to the three Tang Tian brothers.

"Seriously." The three brothers spoke in unison, looked at each other, and knelt down together: "The three of us are willing to follow King Song, and we will never betray in this life." After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

"Okay, I won't treat you badly, come on, let them out."

Xibao hurriedly beckoned people and released Tang Tian and the others.

Zhao Zili then looked at the remaining iron cages, and felt that it was too wasteful to look at them like this, so he said loudly: "Starting from the cage on the far left, you will tell you one by one what you can do." ”

"I can weave"

"I'm a carpenter"

"I'm a Cook"

The slave in the cage said a word, and suddenly the last unkempt old man said, "I will make fireworks." ”

Zhao Zili's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Xibao: "Why are the fireworks makers still being slaves." ”

"The prince doesn't know, this guy is a madman, he made fireworks and killed more than a dozen people, he didn't mean it, and the government was sentenced to be a slave for life." Xibao bowed his head and explained.

"That's it, I want these people, Shi Lei, you take these people back to the palace first, and if there are disobedient ones, throw them out directly, regardless of life or death." Zhao Zili didn't think much about it, these people are more or less useful, especially for fireworks, cannons, and explosives packs are not impossible.

The slaves were thankful for their kindness, and returned to the palace under the leadership of Shi Lei, Xibao was also smiling, dozens of slaves This is a big deal, a few thousand taels of silver.

"Alright, take me to pick up a few guards." After choosing his favorite craftsman, Zhao Zili is about to choose the guards, and there is not enough manpower to go to Haining, so it is not safe.

After making so much money, Xibao is very happy, this time he won't get some crooked melons and cracked dates.

"Don't worry, please come with me, those in front are bluffing, and there are a group of the best in the back, there are boy scouts and heroes in the rivers and lakes, who have committed taboos and have been arrested."

Under the leadership of Xi Bao, several people passed through several secret doors, and sure enough, there was a hole in the sky, and the slaves in a large square were not locked in cages, but gathered in the center of the square.

"Assemble, your new master is here, this is the Seventh Prince, the emperor's newly crowned King of Song, it is your honor to follow him." With Xibao's shout, the slaves on the field stood up in twos and threes.

Zhao Zili nodded, most of the people here are burly and powerful, their eyes are bright, and they are not old, weak, sick or disabled outside.

"Chia, how did he get caught." Gao Xiang recognized a man dressed in black and out of place in the scene, and was very surprised.

"Uncle Xiang, you know." Zhao Zili asked.

"Lord Wang, this person's name is Qiya, and he is nicknamed the Night Swordsman. The top masters on the rivers and lakes will actually become slaves. ”

"Oh, the executive's family knows this person, in fact, he came voluntarily, just for three thousand taels of silver, I didn't want to, but he hit all my subordinates to agree." Xibao also knew that this person was strong in martial arts, and he originally wanted to sell it to a high-ranking official to make a profit, and it was not bad to sell it to Zhao Zili.

"It's just for three thousand taels, the prince must take down this person, and with it can be worth a hundred people." Gao Xiang also knows that this person is powerful, and getting him is like a tiger's wings.

"Okay, hey, who are you staring at, Shui Rou." Zhao Zili suddenly found that Shui Rou was staring at Changzhong, as if she saw someone.

"The prince forgives the sin." Shui Rou realized her gaffe and hurriedly excused herself.

"It's okay, who do you like, say it, the prince will buy it for you." Zhao Zili smiled, and the others were also amused.

"The prince is joking, but in fact, it is the people in the center of the field, who have the aura of a soldier, a little curious, and lost their temper for a while." Shui Rou's father was born in the military, and he naturally recognized it since he was a child, but the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country by force, and the status of the military was not low, and he would become a slave.

"A few of them, a total of 18 people, are deserters who were defeated on the front line." Xibao spat out with a look of disdain, being a deserter in Da Zhou is a lifetime of shame.

"Oh, yes, it doesn't matter, since you used to be a military Ran, you should give it a chance. That's it, and that chia, a total of 10,000 taels of silver. Zhao Zili changed hands and took 10,000 taels of silver tickets from Gao Xiang, Xibao naturally agreed, this one earned at least 5,000 taels, and there was no need to do this business for a few years, after all, people were not treated well.

"Lord Wang, there is still a shortage of errands for the executive's family in your house, do you think I can do it." Xi Bao had an idea, he has been looked down upon since he became a human tooth, and the old mother does not want to see him again, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law at the age of forty.

Instead of this, it is better to take refuge in King Song, not to seek wealth and wealth, at least the old mother can forgive herself.

"You ......" didn't wait for Zhao Zili to finish speaking, Xibao answered.

"The grass people know that the prince is worried, although the grass people are human teeth, they are also forced to do so, if you don't believe it, ask the executives, the grass people are very good to the slaves, at least not let them starve and freeze."

"Lord Wang, this Xibao is not lying, the slave mortality rate under his hands is the lowest." Gao Xiang also spoke, this Xibao is also a talent, and if he can speak well, he may be able to help the prince.

"Since Uncle Xiang will speak for you and explain to your current owner, you can come along and bring the eighteen people and Qiya with you."

After Zhao Zili finished speaking, he felt that today's goal had been achieved, and he returned to the palace with everyone.

But his words and deeds were transmitted by spies to the palace and the ears of several princes.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was painting, and after listening to Cao Zhengchun's words, he shook his head helplessly: "I just bought some slaves with some assets, this child is still greedy for fun, and it is difficult to become a big tool, so there are not many opportunities to meet in the future when I go to Haining, so let him be." ”

"How's the preparation for the poetry meeting?" Emperor Wu put away his paintbrush and cared about the preparations for the poetry meeting.

"Your Majesty, the preparations are almost complete, and it will be completed in two or three days." Cao Zhengchun knows the importance of the poetry club, and he does everything himself.

"Okay, I see your hard work." Emperor Wu didn't have any reward, but this fluttering sentence was worth 10,000 taels of gold.

"It is the honor of a slave to serve His Majesty, and I dare not say that it is hard." Cao Zhengchun was extremely happy in his heart, knowing that he had another extra weight in the emperor's heart.

Emperor Wu nodded, waved his hand, and retreated with interest.

On the other side, Zhao Zili returned to the mansion, and dozens of craftsmen and guards who had bought him stood together.

"Gao Xiang, you go and arrange these craftsmen first, let them eat first, we will leave in three months, we must let them take care of their bodies first." These people are yellow-skinned and obviously malnourished, but they can't die on the road, these are all treasures.

The craftsmen knelt on the ground and thanked Zhao Zili for their kindness.
