Chapter 174: Little Clever Ghost (Part II)
After speaking, Du Wei walked forward. Ruolin glanced at the little clever ghost, and casually took a coin out of her pocket and threw it, and Sandy immediately caught it with both hands - he was so skillful at this action that he obviously repeated several times a day. But as soon as he caught the heavy coin, his eyes widened!
I foamed at the mouth in my hand, wiped it, and then put it in front of my eyes to look carefully, and bit it with my teeth incredibly......
It's actually golden?!
Sandy was pleasantly surprised, and immediately realized that she had met a big guy today!
In the past, those who served themselves threw themselves a few copper horns at most, and the most bold ones were only given a silver coin at most.
But it's a gold coin!
One gold coin is enough for his family of three to live for more than a month! and it can also make my father drink a small glass of the cheapest ale every day. You can also buy an old pair of leather boots as you wish!
Quickly stuffing the coin into his pocket, Sandy chased after him, flattering Du Wei's side and working hard.
"Are you familiar with this place, and I ask you, if I'm going to buy a few slaves, where should I go first?"
"It depends on what you're going to do when you're going to buy someone back. Sandy took the money, and he never dared to keep it when he worked, his thin body did not appear to be blocked in the crowd at all, flexible like a loach, and the voice in his mouth was fast and clear: "If you want to buy a few maids, I suggest you go to the official slave workshop, where the slaves are all from large families, trained, and know the etiquette of the upper class, and you will not lose face if you buy it back." If you only need a few coolies, then I can recommend several good places for you. Listening to your accent, it doesn't seem like a dìdū person?" At the end, Sandy slyly tentatively said.
But this time the clever ghost guessed wrong.
Du Wei's accent is indeed a little different from Dìdū's, that is because he was born in the Rollin family, because of the tradition of the Rollin family, the people above the Rollin family, including the old Count Raymond, all have some Rollin Plains accents, and Du Wei lived in the Rollin Plains for another year, and the accent and traces are a little heavier.
Seeing that Du Wei smiled and didn't speak, Sandy immediately lowered his voice and said, "Then I want to remind you that yes, in this place, although all business is protected by the Imperial Code, outsiders like you still have to pay attention to some rules." Especially if there are washed people, don't offend, those are powerful people in the dìdū...... Last month, a couple of foreign merchants, in order to snatch and buy two beautiful slave girls, quarreled here with the butler of a noble family in Dìdū, and finally they were severely beaten and thrown to the moat outside the city!"
Seeing that this little God of Wealth didn't speak, Sandy was a little unsure, and hurriedly introduced: "Generally speaking, the slaves here are also divided into several grades, the first class, the most expensive, of course, are official slaves." After some of the original large families were raided because of their crimes, the people of the family were robbed of their identities and became slaves. Those official slaves are the most sought-after, I heard that there are several daughters of fallen aristocratic families recently, as well as concubines, all of whom have become slaves, and the day before yesterday at the auction, almost made several buyers fight...... Hey, everyone wants to buy the daughter of a noble family and go back to be a slave girl, so that it will be more face-saving in the future. ”
Du Wei's brows furrowed slightly. He knew very well who this kid was talking about as "the recently fallen aristocracy". To be precise, his Rollin family also recently collapsed. It's just because of their own existence that the people in the family did not suffer the tragic fate of becoming slaves.
Sandy continued: "In addition to the official slaves, the second-class slaves are those barbarians from the northwest. All of those guys are strong and powerful, and they are definitely good at work. But if you buy that kind of person and go back to do the rough work, then it's too wasteful. ”
"Why?" asked Du Wei at last. This made Sandy breathe a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said: "Because the greatest value of those barbarians from the northwest is not to work hard work. But...... Those barbarians from the northwest were all people who were particularly good at raising horses, and they could ride horses and take care of livestock. If you have a ranch at home, buy a few barbarians from the northwest to go back to work, and ensure that the ranch will harvest greatly after the next year!"
Du Wei nodded.
"However, although these barbarians are good slaves, they must be very careful when they are bought. Those guys are particularly wild, irritable, and difficult to discipline, especially like to run away. If you don't send someone to tighten the guard, maybe you will flee in a swarm, those guys are fierce outlaws, and they will not hesitate to fight with their lives. ”
"What else?"
"Also, it's the third class...... The third class are all people from our empire, but they are all poor people who can't get by, and they don't have any craftsmanship to do more, but these people are very honest, as long as they have something to eat, they can eat a full stomach, they are very loyal to their masters, and they will not run away. It's also easy to discipline. ”
When Sandy said this, his face showed a little embarrassment that did not match his age, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Hey, these days, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get by, no one would want to sell myself into slavery." ”
Du Weiduo glanced at the kid.
"Finally, it's the guys from the South Seas. The natives were the cheapest and most slaved here. But these people, if you want to buy them, you have to choose carefully. Because it's always good and bad doped. Those black-hearted slave traders always sold a strong slave with a few old and weak or small ones. These natives of the South Seas are also divided into several types, the best one is those who have lived in the empire for many years or even generations, such people can speak our imperial language, even if they can't speak it, they can understand it. It's also easy to buy and use. Such people are called 'cooked slaves'. But there is another kind of slave who has just been captured by the imperial army, who can't speak our language, doesn't understand anything, and always wants to escape, such slaves are generally called 'raw slaves'. In terms of price, generally speaking, raw slaves are much cheaper than cooked slaves. Of course, if it is some particularly beautiful and beautiful slave girls, it is difficult to say the price. ”
At this point, Sandy suddenly turned around and shouted at two or three dirty boys who had quietly approached Dewey, "Get out of here, Dick!
The two or three boys were already standing only three or five paces away by Du Wei, and when they saw Sandy yelling, one of the tallest fellows scolded him and muttered, "Sandy is a little liar!
After speaking, he glanced at Du Wei and Ruolin unwillingly, and then turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Sandy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Leave those guys alone, they're irritating fingers that eat on this street." But with me, they won't bother you. But you still have to be careful, there are a lot of golden fingers here. ”
Du Wei glanced at Ruolin, he was not worried about these thieves at all, although Ruolin's strength was not a master, but it was no problem to deal with this kind of street gangsters, and it would be no problem to come to hundreds of them. And their own strength, not to mention.
But he became more and more curious about this kid: "Are those guys just now all thieves?"
"Shhhh
"Don't say that! Don't say the word 'thief', if those guys hear it, they will think it's an insult and will trouble you, even if we mention these guys, we have to say 'golden finger'. This is the rule of the Way. ”
Du Wei smiled secretly, and then said: "But if you spoil their affairs, won't they trouble you?"
"Hmph. Sandy pouted: "We all grew up together on this street, and we have been fighting since we were children, and our people here, even if they bully people, they only bully outsiders, and they generally don't attack their own people." And...... My brother used to be a small leader of theirs, and for my brother's sake, they wouldn't embarrass me. Everyone eats together, and no one will really hate each other until they tear their faces...... And, you see, there are a lot of out-of-towners here every day, and they don't have to worry about running out of business. ”
In fact, Sandy's words are half-true. He made money in this business, and he had to offend a few golden fingers, although he said that everyone grew up on the same street and would not really turn his face, but he still had to be beaten a few times. But every time you can earn a few copper horns to go back, even if you get a few punches and kicks, it's worth it.
And today he actually got a gold coin, even if he went back and was beaten by those guys, Sandy felt that it was very worth it.
