Chapter 166: Sitting on the ground and starting the price
"And this kind of deal?" Wan Er said in surprise.
It's the first time I've encountered this when I've grown so big, and I feel a little unbelievable.
"A lot. Wang Zhili replied.
No one was in the middle of it, so Wan Er and Wang Zhili were shocked, and as for the others, they didn't have any expression at all, this was just a normal business.
"The barren area is located in the north, which is a backward place, and Quzhou is the bottom of it, so these traffickers are too lazy to go. Wang Zhili said again.
"In those big countries, this is a very prosperous industry, and even some of them are secretly supported by those in power, and even worse, the state is running it. He continued.
"The state is in charge?" Wan Er said suspiciously.
In his heart, it is taboo to sell people, and they are also born as human beings, but they have to be bought and sold as commodities.
Now I hear that some countries are running, which is even more unbelievable, the ruler is like this, treating human life as pigs and dogs, and the country is still the country?
"Yes. Wang Zhili nodded and said.
"And where did all these people come from?" asked Manji again.
This is really a problem, it can't be voluntary, who can believe it when you say it, it's ridiculous that you sold yourself.
"Most of them are some prisoners of war, as well as the wives and children of the princes and ministers after the destruction of the country, and even the princesses and princesses of some princes, all of them were robbed. Wang Zhili replied.
In this way, Wan Er is still a little relieved, and he is not a trick, and there is still a trace of humanity.
In fact, it is not necessarily the case, who can conclude that there are no more people who can be lured, there may not be a few, but no one has studied deeply.
"Are you interested in these people?" asked Sheng Beiji.
"It doesn't hurt to see. Wan Er replied, and did not deny it.
"It's all inferior people, what's so beautiful. Sheng Beitong said.
These words came out of her mouth, which startled Wan Er, and it was so natural to say it, as if it was the case in her heart.
In fact, what she said is right, there are three, six, nine and so on, compared with those high-ranking officials and nobles, those who are also in the iron cage are not inferior.
But Wan Er doesn't think so, the living environment is different, he doesn't have a strong sense of hierarchy, he has been begging since he was a child, so he is not inferior.
Wan Er didn't speak, some things don't make sense, that thing has long been ingrained in his heart, and it can't be changed overnight.
"How do you sell this?" After looking at it for a while, Wan Er pointed to one person and asked.
The person he pointed out was more than two meters tall and burly, but probably because he couldn't eat enough, he was already skinny, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to walk.
The man reluctantly raised his head, glanced at Wan Er, and immediately looked down again, as if he didn't care about his fate at all.
Hearing his words, Wang Zhili and several people were surprised, in case of this, what is the use of buying people, it is completely a burden.
Besides, Quzhou's plan can not be solved by one person, if everyone depends on buying, I am afraid that even if Waner smashes the pot and sells iron, it will not be enough to make up Waner.
"The guest officer has such a good eye, this is the best goods I have here. Hearing Wan Er's words, the merchant hurriedly came over and spoke.
Wan Er's current appearance is indeed a bit like a rich family, no matter how well-off he is, he will naturally be enthusiastic about hospitality.
"You don't have to talk to Lao Tzu here, just say how to buy it. Wan Er opened his mouth and said, not bothering to talk nonsense with him at all.
He didn't have a good impression of this person, and he was very disgusted in his heart.
"Okay, since the guest officer is so honest, then I won't go around in circles with you, twenty taels, you can take this person away. The merchant spoke, not paying any attention to Manji's words.
Don't underestimate these traffickers, they are all people who have seen the wind and waves, and they have to have some background, not everyone can do this business.
"Twenty taels?" Wan Er said, thinking that he had misheard.
"Twenty taels. The merchant spoke again.
"Let's go. Wan Er said, and turned around directly to leave.
Twenty taels, why don't you rob it, if he is a fool and has a lot of money, this is not a small amount.
It is almost a normal person's annual income in the prosperous era, even in the prosperous place of the south of the Yangtze River, in order to buy a good house.
Now he dares to ask for twenty taels of silver, it is really a lion with his mouth wide open, if it weren't for the fact that there are many people, Wan Er would want to press him to the ground and ravage him fiercely, rubbing his face on the ground, and annoying others to treat him as a fool.
"Guest officer, don't worry, if you are not satisfied, you will pay a price, buying things is not like this, how can you give up easily, persistence, in order to win." Seeing that Wan Er was going to have it, the merchant hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins and spoke.
However, he did want to pit him just now, but this is normal, there is no treachery, there is no business, doing business is like this, asking for a price all over the sky, you can't also bargain on the ground.
"Five taels. Wan Er opened his mouth and said, directly reducing it by three percent.
This price is really admirable.
"You're kidding me, five taels, this capital is not enough, if you sell it like this, my family won't be able to drink it. The merchant spoke.
"Then I don't want it. Wan Er said directly, as if it was really a lack of interest.
"Don't mind, let's take a step back, fifteen taels. The merchant spoke again, and the trade was too humble.
In fact, he is not like this normally, the key is that the person who wants to buy in case of two is not ordinary, and it can be said that it is very tricky.
Don't look at other people's tall horses, they look very bluffing, but no one wants them at all, and even the questions are very coincidental.
Most of the people who want to buy are subordinates, and they are not bodyguards, so such a big person has become a burden.
Buy it back as an animal is not as good as cattle and sheep, just eat some forage, and mate with cubs, when the grass and trees are luxuriant, just pull it out and walk around, and wait until the old age is weak, you can also kill and eat meat, compared with it, this person really has no advantage.
The merchant was now eager to bury him alive, and he had to eat and drink after losing money day by day in his hands, and now that someone finally asked for the price, how could he let him go.
"Five taels, no more. Wan Er said, his attitude was still resolute.
"Ten taels, he will give you half of it, you can also understand, a small business, it is really profitable......" The merchant refused to give up, and still spoke.
"Five taels. Before he could finish speaking, Wan Er interrupted directly.
The merchant pretended to be silent for a while, but in fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart, five taels would be five taels, as long as he gave money, even if it was one tael, he would not lose money.
He was just about to say yes, but Wan Er said again: "That's it, I'll give you ten taels, but you have to let me pick another one from here." ”
