Chapter 214: Wealth is not exposed
In addition to those who sold game, Zhou Yang also saw a few people squatting on the side of the road, and there were children following them.
It's just that these children have straw sticks stuck in their heads.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang thought of a word, but he still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Wuyang behind him.
"What are they doing here? How do you put the kids here? ”
Zhao Wuyang looked at the situation in front of him, and he didn't look strange.
"Your Highness, these are selling children!"
Hearing Zhao Wuyang say this, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly flickered, and he looked back at Zhao Wuyang in disbelief.
"Selling children? Just sell it so openly? ”
Zhou Yang felt that this kind of scene was really incredible, but the expressions on the faces of Liu Qian, Xiao Yue and Zhao Wuyang behind him really looked like they should be.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yue couldn't help but speak.
"Now the people can't even live, and there is no extra food ration at home for the children to eat."
"Even if you leave the child behind, you can only starve to death in the end, and it is better to sell the child than that."
"In this way, not only can your family get a sum of money, which will allow the family to last a little longer, but also the children will not starve to death after being bought."
When Satsuki said these words, she didn't feel the slightest inappropriateness.
But in the end, she also found that there was something wrong with the expression on Zhou Yang's face, as if she had never seen such a thing.
"Your Highness, haven't you seen ......?"
Xiao Yue couldn't help but ask Zhou Yang, wanting to ask him if he had never seen this kind of scene, but was stopped by Zhao Wuyang, who was next to him, secretly making a look.
Seeing Zhao Wuyang's eyes, Xiao Yue also quickly closed her mouth and didn't dare to say another word.
At this time, he thought of Zhou Yang's identity, a dignified prince, who grew up in the palace for this trivial matter, and no matter how bad it was, he was active in the capital.
Although there is also human trafficking in the capital, it is all carried out in secret, and it is not at all like in such a place where the emperor is far away, and he directly puts people outside and waits for people to buy and sell.
Zhou Yang looked at it, and half of the street was selling wild food, and the other half was selling children.
A few of them were clearly from the government, and they looked at the children next to the frame, as if they were picking cattle.
In the end, there was a fancy, and he bought a child directly for one or two silver.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yang was stunned.
A child is a tael of silver, and this price can be said to be extremely cheap.
You must know that for those eunuchs with a tael of silver, it is nothing, and if you go out to the restaurant casually for a meal, you have to have a start of more than ten or two years.
I didn't expect this child to be even as good as a meal from a big family.
The more Zhou Yang looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became, but now he could only endure this situation temporarily.
After turning around outside, Zhou Yang dragged his heavy steps back to the house, and now the inside of this copper city is like hell on earth.
The people on the streets are as numb as the walking dead, unless something big happens to them that will interest them.
Otherwise, they're just doing their own thing there, and they don't care about anything else.
In the next few days, Zhou Yang has been in the house and has not gone out.
But there is still good news.
The soap made by Boss Wang with Zhou Yang was sold in full swing in this city, and in just a few days, it was sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Zhou Gongzi, this kind of thing you make is not worried about selling at all, as long as you swing there, someone will buy it on the pole, and you almost don't have to open your mouth, people will put the silver there."
Boss Wang also happily said that it was still difficult to sell these things at the beginning.
But then he made a demonstration in public, and many people saw the effect of this soap and were immediately interested.
So it's so easy to sell!
Today, Boss Wang came to deliver silver, and the 10,000 taels of silver sold were sent to Zhou Yang here.
Looking at so much silver, Zhou Yang only left some enough for their daily expenses, and let Zhao Wuyang take out the rest and distribute it to the poor people outside.
Especially those who have been reduced to selling their children.
Seeing Zhou Yang doing this, Boss Wang's face also showed a gloomy look.
"Gongzi Zhou, it's useless!"
Hearing Boss Wang's words, Zhou Yang raised his head and looked at him.
Boss Wang continued.
"These people have been oppressed by the government here for so many years, even if you give them the silver for nothing, in the end, these silver will be taken away from the people by those beasts of the government in every possible way!"
"In this kind of place, you still have to take care of yourself first, as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, if you do this, sooner or later you will be targeted by those people in the government."
Regarding Boss Wang's kind advice, Zhou Yang just smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, Boss Wang, I have my own plans for these things."
"If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy!"
Zhou Yang suddenly said such a sentence coldly, which made Boss Wang look confused.
Seeing that Zhou Yang could not be persuaded to do so, Boss Wang had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he left.
He seemed to be regretting something, although he admired Zhou Yang's behavior like this, but he didn't dare to do it like Zhou Yang at all.
Since Zhou Yang can't be persuaded to do so, let's find a way to live by myself first.
Another few days have passed, and in the past few days, all the income from Boss Wang's business will be sent to Zhou Yang every day.
As long as Boss Wang sends back the silver, Zhou Yang will let people give the silver to those ordinary people.
Soon, word of the news spread through the city.
There are many people who have legends that there is a God of Wealth in the city, and those who have a lot of silver have to send it out every day.
This also attracted the interest of those officials in the government at once.
In the south of the copper city, there are mansions here, and some dignitaries in the city live here.
In one of the most luxurious mansions, several officials were gathering there to talk something.
"Lord Zhang, have you heard, there is a big family in our city!"
