Chapter 486: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (236)
It's about pets, but it's people!
What kind of people will be kept as pets by the powerful?
The local tyrant merchant told the governor of Boni Prefecture and his old subordinates: "It's Kunlun Nu, Silla Maiden, and Bodhisattva Man!" ”
He pointed, and a few dark-skinned servants kneeling behind him said:
"They are Kunlun Nu, who were originally taken by Arab merchants with them.
After these merchants came to Datang, they encountered a shortage of hands when purchasing a large number of goods, so they sold these Kunlun slaves to our local merchants.
It can be regarded as an unintentional willow and willow shady.
What the merchants didn't expect was that once these Kunlun slaves were sold, they were very popular with our local merchants.
Despite their dark skin, they are not too tall, but they are more powerful than Han Chinese slaves.
And he has a simple temperament and listens to commands.
Just the few behind me have saved my life a few times, and there is nothing to say about loyalty.
Some Kunlun slaves also have talents such as animal taming, hand-weaving, and musical instruments.
Because of his completely different appearance and skin color from the Han servant, it is quite a dignified thing to take out and negotiate with others. ”
Everyone in Bonizhou admired: other people's slaves can work hard for their masters, and they can also generate income for their masters! It's really the same as the nobles, not the same fate!
It is conceivable that such Kunlun slaves are definitely in short supply in the slave market!
After showing off the Kunlun slaves, the local tyrant asked the maidservants of the family to come out and pour wine for the guests: "These are my Silla maids, they are from the distant Silla country!" ”
The guests fixed their eyes.
I just think that these Silla maids have fairer skin and a rounder face.
At first glance, I really don't see anything special.
Their thoughts hung on their faces, and the local tyrants couldn't see it.
I saw the local tyrant drink the wine in the cup, and said proudly:
"Silla maids are not ordinary maidservants, they are all born in the Silla country, rich peasants or ordinary eunuch families with a certain economic strength.
They are literate and hyphenated, and they have been exposed to the Confucian culture that has been passed down from the Central Plains since they were young, and they are intelligent and docile.
After coming to the Central Plains, they will also undergo a series of trainings to learn skills such as official dialect, etiquette, female celebrities and cooking.
Compared with the maids born from the poor, they serve people more delicately. ”
The people of Bonizhou, who were persuaded to drink by Gao Li's gentle words, only felt that the wine in their mouths had a little more charm.
Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk.
When the wine was hot, they also saw the most of the three favors, those Bodhisattvas who made the men of the entire Tang Dynasty obsessed.
The Bodhisattva is barbaric, and his appearance is delicate and beautiful.
With a smile and a smile, it looks like a bodhisattva engraved on the mural.
Because they have been learning song and dance poetry since childhood, their dancing skills are enchanting and colorful, and their singing voices seem to have the magic of seducting people's souls.
When their waists twisted, the light gauze skirts, dancing, a large area of skin loomed.
It's really more vixen than a vixen.
The old people of Boni Prefecture, where have you ever seen such a scene?
After the feast is over, return to the inn.
Some people are not ashamed to say: The three favorites that the local tyrants of the Tang Dynasty have, they also have to have.
And so.
When the people of the Haidayak tribe were dealing with cloth merchants and bargaining for goods.
The governor of Boni Prefecture led the team to go to the slave market in Guangzhou every day.
After two days, I really bought seven Silla maids for these people.
How can there be only seven Silla maids, enough for fifty people to divide up?
They spent a lot of money in the slave market, and soon became guests of the guests of a merchant who traveled back and forth to Silla all year round.
After learning about the business of the governor of Boni Prefecture and others from the translator, You Guozhu came to discuss with the eldest daughter:
"Why don't we buy some slaves and go back home? The number of residents in Boni Prefecture is too small now, and in the future, our citizens are used to living a good life, who is willing to drag their families to open up wasteland? ”
"Daddy wants to buy more Kunlun slaves? Their prices are not cheap. ”
"I asked your second brother to go to the slave market to inquire around, and an ordinary rough servant can buy one for two yuan, but a Kunlun slave asks for more than ten yuan. It's a bit more expensive, but it's better than these people who are honest and obedient and willing to endure hardships. ”
Let you do what you want, where to fight.
Isn't it the best slave in the hearts of all masters?
Mrs. You thinks: Kunlun slaves were sold to the Tang Dynasty by these Arab merchants, and the objects of harvest were the powerful and local tyrants who had a lot of money and a lot of stupidity.
This human trafficking is definitely more than ten times the profit margin.
No matter how capable Kunlun Nu is, they can't be the wrongdoer.
Moreover, the number of slaves needed for reclamation was quite large.
At which end of the supply chain is the cheapest product?
Naturally, it is the source manufacturer!
As she spoke, her thoughts were immediately opened: "Daddy, when we return home, I will take my younger brothers to the Arab Empire for a walk!" ”
"It's a great idea!"
Lord You is very confident in the strength of his eldest daughter.
In a few words, the father and daughter decided on the slave buying strategy of the new South Vietnamese Kingdom that would continue for the next few years.
They stayed in Guangzhou for a week.

The Datang distribution rights for eight types of canned seafood and canned luncheon meat were signed to a large merchant with a local clan background.
It also agreed with Arab merchants to distribute a total of 200 tons of canned beef and braised lamb with a total of 200 tons per year.
Canned luncheon meat, canned roast beef with sauce, and canned braised lamb naturally have samples, but no one who has eaten them does not say that it is good.
Because their canned food can be delivered not only to the Tang Dynasty, but even to the Arab Empire.
Arab merchants also added 20 percent of the existing retail price of canned food to their shipping costs.
Mrs. You Meizizi: Let's send canned food to the Arab Empire one by one, and then ship after ship to bring back the domesticated Kunlun slaves in the hands of the imperial merchants.
Sell and buy, all are profitable, happy!
Duration.
Suleiman, a Persian merchant, still bought the 500 watches.
The price was to emptied almost all the idle funds of the Persian merchants in Canton.
According to the agreement between the two parties, this batch of watches will continue to be sold overseas.
Duration.
The presiding officer of Kaiyuan Temple chose an auspicious day for the relocation of the grave, and led the monks of the temple to recite the "Great Compassion Mantra" one hundred and eight times.
With the assistance of more than 3,000 people from several major tribes of the Lingnan Yue people, the ashes of the ancestors of the New Nanyue Kingdom were finally laid to rest in the tombs of Baiyun Mountain.
Last year, the eldest princess invited the most famous stele carver in Lingnan to tell the story of the ancestors' journey to find their roots in a narrative way, which was engraved on the inscription.
The 10,000-character inscription stands in front of the tombs.
The content of the inscription moved the reader and praised the pure filial piety of his descendants.
Of course, that's all for later.
Right now, the 200-member delegation led by the Lord of the Kingdom is rushing to Chang'an City. (End of chapter)
