Chapter 36 Talent
In the middle of the night, Mo Li gathered all the slaves, and then asked Wang Yong and others to receive them in the backyard.
After Wang Yong saw those slaves, he felt very satisfied, because although these slaves were still dressed in tatters, their spirits were much better than the last time they came.
Wang Yong ordered ten servants to go over and organize the slaves to line up and go out to their temporary station.
In this process, Wang Yong found that there were many slaves with reluctance on their faces, and they would look back from time to time.
When Wang Yong was wondering, a woman suddenly ran out of the team, she knelt in front of Wang Yong, cried bitterly, and said: "My lord, you are a good person, we can eat enough these days, and we are all very grateful to you." ”
Wang Yongxin said: "If you have a full meal, you have to kneel, if I give you back your freedom, you still have to make a promise?"
Wang Yong was not used to others kneeling, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up, and then asked with concern: "This eldest sister, do you have anything wrong?"
The woman pleaded, "My lord, please buy my family with me, and we will do a good job for your lordship." My husband is a good carpenter, although he is missing an arm. And my child, who is ten years old this year, will do a lot of work. Adults, you can buy them too, and our family will do things for adults. ”
After Wang Yong heard this, he looked at the slaves with expectant eyes, and his heart was mixed, not a taste, Wang Yong sighed slightly and said, "What is your name?
The woman nodded and said, "My name is Connie, and I'm a tailor, my lord." ”
Wang Yong turned his head and asked all the slaves, "Which of you still has a family here?"
When the slaves saw that Wang Yong really wanted to buy their family together, whether it was true or not, for that little hope, more than 20 people came over at that time, gossiping, saying that their family was also here, and begged Wang Yong to buy them together so that their family could be reunited.
Wang Yong calculated the remaining gold coins, and felt that it should be enough to save some money, so he gritted his teeth and resolutely said to Moli: "You bring the families of these slaves with you, and I will buy them together." ”
Mo Li looked at Wang Yong and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and turned around to find someone with a complicated expression.
asked Wang Yong in a loud voice: "Ivan, they are indeed very pitiful, but we are not very rich, what are you doing to buy their crippled family members?"
Wang Yong said meaningfully: "I bought them, first, to see that they are pitiful, and to help them if they can, and second, I don't just want them to help us fight and work, I also want to wait for the territory to be built, and return their freedom, so that they can become the subjects of our territory." If they are separated from their families, it will be difficult for them to settle in our territory with peace of mind, but if they bring their families with them, they will be able to settle in our territory in the future. ”
Obuki thought for a moment and said, "Oh, that's right, or you're thoughtful." ”
After about thirty minutes, Maury brought more than thirty more slaves. Most of these slaves had some wounds on their bodies, light ones, the wounds on their bodies had not yet healed, and there were blood stains on the bandages. Severe, limb insufficiency, already a disability.
When these slaves arrived, they didn't care about anything else, ran to their relatives, hugged each other and cried together, and the bitter crying and wailing from the depths of their hearts made everyone present couldn't help but gently wipe the corners of their eyes, because grief is contagious.
Murray said gloomily: "These slaves are all commoners captured by those nobles in this war, and they have not been resold, so they can still stay with their families." If they are resold a few times, they won't even know where their families are. ”
Wang Yong himself doesn't want to be a slave, and he doesn't like slavery, but he also knows that in this world, he has to abide by the rules of this world, and he can't change anything by himself, but Wang Yong has already made a decision.
Wang Yong spat on the ground, turned to Mo Li and said, "I have bought all these new gold coins." ”
After hearing this, those slaves with families knelt in front of Wang Yong with their families, although their faces were still full of tears, but their tone was sincere and grateful, "Thank you, thank you, my lord." ”
Wang Yong was very unaccustomed to it, and said loudly with dissatisfaction: "You all stand up for me, if you still kneel like this, I won't buy any of them." After hearing this, the slaves quickly stood up and looked at Wang Yong carefully.
Maury thought about it, and after repeated struggles in his heart, he finally made a decision and said: "Lord Ivan, these people are all injured, or they are children, and they are worthless, so I will make the decision and not charge you gold coins, but you can help me say good things about the eldest lady." ”
Seeing that Wang Yong was still expressionless, Mo Li sighed and said: "To be honest, in fact, I don't want to do this kind of business, I really want to change industries." ”
At this time, the minotaurs among the slaves said to Wang Yong in a rough voice: "My lord, if you can help Moli, help him, he is not like other slave merchants who beat us and give us a lot of food, he is a good man." ”
Wang Yong looked at the minotaur curiously, and asked in surprise, "What? Have you seen a lot of slave traders?"
The Minotaur said as a matter of course, "Yes, other merchants like to beat us, but Morry doesn't beat us." ”
Murray explained: "Actually, they are very pitiful, the minotaur slaves are different from other slaves, they are voluntarily taken as slaves. ”
Wang Yong was stunned, and muttered in his heart: "Is there still someone who still likes to be a slave?"
So Wang Yong asked suspiciously: "Why? It's fun to be a slave?"
"The Minotaurs also live in the forest, but they don't grow food themselves, and they don't know how to hunt, so they have very little food to feed them," said Maury. So some young and strong minotaurs, in order to save more food for the clan and allow more people to continue to live, ran out of the forest and went to human society to be slaves. ”
After hearing this, Wang Yong was moved and sympathetic, and nodded to the minotaurs, showing his respect for him.
Giving up one's own freedom in order for the people to survive is definitely worthy of respect, no matter where or what era.
Wang Yong asked Mo Li curiously: "Since you don't like to do this slave business, why don't you leave here and find a job you like?"
Murray smiled bitterly and said, "I like to do business, but there is a problem that makes other shops dare not hire me. I remember that two years ago, I almost starved to death in the streets, and maybe it was because I didn't want to die, so I met Miss Ruth of the Ramos Chamber of Commerce, who gave me five silver coins, and after learning about my past, he hired me despite the objections of others, so that I can stand here today. ”
Wang Yong looked Mo Li up and down, and only after a while did he ask curiously: "What's wrong? Why didn't I see it? Damn, you can't be a shemale, right?"
Kevin interjected curiously and asked, "What is a shemale?"
Wang Yong explained: "It's just people who are neither men nor women. ”
Mori's face was full of black lines, and after repeatedly emphasizing that he was not a shemale, he was embarrassed to say: "Actually, it's nothing, I just like to bargain with guests, hehe." ”
Wang Yong said with a smile: "It's not just that simple, right?"
Murray whispered: "It's just that when I bargain, I am very involved, and I often quarrel with customers, and then those customers will no longer buy what I sell, and I have offended a lot of customers, so those merchants are not willing to hire me." ”
Wang Yong put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if he quarreled with a guy, no matter how cheap the price was, he would not buy anything there.
Wang Yong looked at Mo Li for a while, touched his chin and asked, "But you were normal when I came these two times?"
Murray said helplessly: "I have changed a lot now, I don't want to be fired again, if the Ramos Chamber of Commerce doesn't use me, I guess I won't be able to find other jobs." Besides, I can't disappoint Miss Ruth. ”
Wang Yong's eyes rolled and said, "Can you let me see how you used to bargain?"
Maury looked inside the shop and said in embarrassment, "No one is cutting with me, and now there are no customers." ”
Wang Yong looked at the people around him, pointed at Kevin and said, "Kevin, didn't you say that you were very good at bargaining? ”
Kevin smiled evilly and said, "Okay." ”
Wang Yong said to Mori: "You go and find a slave at random, I will buy it, Kevin, you go and negotiate with him." ”
The two of them looked at each other, and walked away with a strange smile, and Da Fu also wanted to see the excitement, so he also went over together.
In this way, Wang Yong is also relieved, at least if the two really fight, there is a big blow present, at least Kevin will not suffer.
It didn't take long for everyone to hear that inside the store, Kevin and Morry had already begun to argue.
At first, it was just louder, but then it got louder and louder, and there was the sound of smashing things.
Wang Yong and the others were worried about Kevin, so they hurriedly entered the living room of the store, but when they entered, they saw Morry standing on the table with his toes on his toes, pointing at Kevin, talking stiffly, and talking endlessly.
Looking at Kevin again, he couldn't say a word with his head drooped, stared at Moli with a red face, and finally still had six gold coins on the ground, and said loudly: "Shut up, can't I buy it?" Don't say it, you're too inkblotted." ”
Wang Yong looked at the slave standing next to him, he looked very young, but his body was full of scars, according to what Murray had just said, such a slave was not valuable.
At that time, Kevin also heard it, but he still spent six gold coins to buy it, and Wang Yong felt that this Mori was really good.
Wang Yong poked the big blow next to him with his finger and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
Da Blow wiped his saliva and said, "It's so bad, I know the price is high, but if it were for me and Maury to bargain, it would probably cost more." ”
Wang Yong looked at the panting Kevin and asked, "How is it?"
Kevin's expression was angry, but he said very convincingly: "It's very harmful, it's just that it's too girly, I just want to kick him very much now." ”
Wang Yong turned his head to look at Mo Li who was looking satisfied and reminiscing, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I am a second-class earl of the empire, and I have just obtained my own fief, and I plan to develop commerce in the territory in the future." To be honest, I'm very optimistic about you, if you want to do it, just follow me, I won't restrict your freedom to bargain and let you play as much as you want. I believe that when the territory develops, even if you fight with those businessmen, they will still come to you to buy things. Also, I promise you'll be paid more than here, what do you think?"
After listening to Wang Yong's conditions, Mo Li said excitedly, "Really?"
Then he thought of something, and said with a gloomy face: "Forget it, it was the eldest lady who helped me in the past and arranged a job for me, I don't want to betray her, thank you, Lord Ivan." ”
Wang Yong looked at Mo Li who was embarrassed, and thought to himself: "This product is a talent, if he helps, whether it is buying or selling in the future, he can help himself save or earn a lot of more gold coins." ”
Wang Yong smiled and said with a bluff: "You don't have to worry about this, I am very good friends with your eldest lady, as long as I talk to her, she will not object, let alone think that you have betrayed her, I will explain everything to her." ”
Maury hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me think about it." ”
Wang Yong was not in a hurry, if he was too anxious, it would make Mo Li suspicious, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll give you a night to think about it, the day after tomorrow we will set off for the territory, after you think about it, you will go to the prince's mansion tomorrow morning to find me." With that, he patted Maury on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Wang Yong didn't want to give Mo Li too much time to think about it, if Mo Li knew that Miss Ruth didn't recognize him at all, then his abduction plan would be aborted, which Wang Yong would never allow.
As for the future, it doesn't matter if Murray knows, at that time, Murray has already boarded the thief ship, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.
