Auction houses.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the store, after asking about his intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken to an auction hall.

The auction hall looked a little dim, and even though there were many oil lamps around it, it still looked underlit.

It's as if it's too dark for even the light to shine in.

The auction hall looked very simple, and at the front was a large platform, where a middle-aged man was talking.

After that, there are seats, and these seats are full.

After Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, Xiao Er added a few seats to Zhu Yuanzhang in the last row.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, he had the heart to listen to what the middle-aged man in front of him was saying:

"Gentlemen and ladies, the next auction is the core item of our auction house, ten healthy and strong men."

"After the diagnosis of the doctor at our auction house, these ten men are absolutely healthy, without any hidden diseases."

"Not only that, but these people are all between 20 and 30 years old, in the prime of life, and the period of use is definitely more than ten years."

"These people have been absolutely tamed by our auction house, please use them with confidence."

"If there is an incident of slaves hurting people, our auction house is willing to compensate."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his right hand lightly and continued:

"These ten middle-aged men, one hundred taels of auction, each increase must not be less than ten taels of silver."

Seeing the gesture of the middle-aged man, someone soon invited the ten men to the platform.

These men were simply wearing a pair of pants, and they all looked very strong, with knotted muscles, and indeed, as the middle-aged man said, in the prime of life.

"One hundred and ten taels."

As soon as these people came to power, there were people who began to make bids.

But this scene shattered Zhu Yuanzhang's three views.

What's going on? Buying and selling human beings?? Still so upright and bright?

Slavery? Didn't we abolish the sale of people into slavery a long time ago?

What the hell is going on?

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his head was not enough today, and he really couldn't understand the operation of the county order in Shanghai County.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Liu Bowen, who has always been good-tempered, felt very angry.

I didn't expect that in the era when our Ming civilization was so developed, there were still people who dared to go against the grain and practice slavery.

No matter how much merit this person has, if he sells the people of the Ming Dynasty into slavery, he should be killed!!

"Dad, what does that mean? Is this to sell these people into slavery? ”

When Zhu Biao next to him saw this scene, he only felt that his worldview was directly shattered, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

Is there really anyone in this world who would sell other people into slavery?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, but the atmosphere on the field had reached a climax.

"Two hundred taels!!"

After several competitions, the ten men on the field have been auctioned for a high price of two hundred taels.

"Two hundred and two times, two hundred and two times, deal!!"

The middle-aged men kept tapping the mat on the table with a mallet, and after three times, the men were slapped away by a wealthy fat businessman.

"Ask this guest to pay the money backstage, and then you can take these people away."

"From now on, they will be your most faithful slaves, serving as cattle and horses for you."

The middle-aged man continued to talk, and the rich merchant stood up excitedly after photographing these slaves and walked behind the scenes.

It seems that the rich businessman is directly planning to pay the money and leave.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, we have better things coming up behind us, don't be impatient."

"The next thing is ten young women, these women are all graceful, they are rare and superb, I hope you must not miss it."

The middle-aged man then threw another bombshell.

"These women are all our hard-working talents..."

"Don't talk nonsense, the auction starts at three hundred taels, and each price increase shall not be less than thirty taels, and the auction begins."

The middle-aged man kept introducing the situation of the ten women, but Zhu Yuanzhang was in no mood to listen to it anymore.

He just felt like he was going to smoke with anger.

After seeing that there were really ten women being brought up from the backstage, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was angry, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted:

"You are here to openly buy and sell people, sell people as slaves, and let others abuse them, do you still have humanity?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in the back row strangely.

But what is surprising is that the women on the stage did not react when they heard these words.

The people in the auction house reacted quickly, and when they saw that someone was making trouble, they immediately rushed in more than 20 people from outside the auction hall and surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang in an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid at all, glared at these people angrily, and couldn't wait to give an order now to pull all these people out and behead them.

Soon, the director of the auction house came to Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's fearless appearance, the director's brows were also slightly wrinkled.

"I wonder if the guest officer has some misunderstanding about us?"

"What misunderstanding? If you buy and sell people as animals, is there no royal law? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang loudly reprimanded these people's behavior, obviously very disgusted by this behavior.

Our people are like dragons, how can we be insulted by you like this?

The supervisor saw that so many guests were looking here, and knew that there must be an explanation for this matter today, otherwise he was afraid that the sign of his auction house would be smashed.

So he said loudly:

"Our auction house is a regular store, and behind our auction house, there is also a county order for adults to take shares."

"Not only that, our auction house has always been law-abiding, and the taxes that should be paid are not less."

"As our county magistrate said, paying taxes is legal, how can we say that we are breaking the law and discipline?"

"If the guest officer has any dissatisfaction, you can go to the county magistrate to denounce us, and we will accept any punishment from the magistrate."

"But now, please leave immediately, you are not welcome in our auction house!"

In the end, the supervisor directly began to drive Zhu Yuanzhang and the others away.

It is these people who affect their own business, if it weren't for the extraordinary clothes of these people, the supervisor would have let these people be beaten out a long time ago.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Li Jin was making trouble behind his back, he was immediately furious.

Li Jin, we have to kill you!!

However, seeing that the director still wanted to drive himself and the others away, his temper suddenly came up again, and he was about to step forward to theorize, but he was stopped by Queen Ma.

Now the situation is stronger than people, and there are many people on the other side, and if there is a fight, your side will definitely suffer.

And Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, if there is any accident, this is the biggest damage to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at the supervisor reluctantly, and was pulled out of the auction house by Queen Ma and others.

As soon as he came out of the auction house, Zhu Yuanzhang yelled:

"Let's go, go find Li Jin, let's break this dog official into pieces."
