Chapter 45: Compassion to the Lookout City

After a day of rest, Yang Miao, who had finished practicing swordsmanship in the morning, was archery, and Qiu Ten came over, standing there waiting.

Yang Miao stipulated that in addition to the five supervisors in his practice field, only the personnel designated by him could come in, so there was only Xiaoliu in it, as well as Yang San, Yang Shi, and Yang Thirteen, who were sparring partners, and there was one more Gu Li, who had replaced Yang Shi for Yang Miao to spar before.

Yang Miao put away his sword, and when he saw the tenth year of autumn, he let the four sparring partners go down.

"Sir, is there something looking for me so early?" Yang Miao asked.

"Childe, one of my senior brothers just sent someone over to bring me the news that the teacher, Mr. Jingci, will arrive in Wangcheng in five days, that is, on the third day of July. ”

"What are the arrangements, sir?" asked Yang Miao.

"Teacher Jingci has just arrived in Wangcheng, and it should be the prince or prince of the royal family to receive him, and he will live in the Dashan State Guesthouse, which is specially designed to entertain VIPs. ”

"The teacher was invited by the lord of the country, and before he met the lord of the country, no one was certain, including us protégés. After the meeting, the teacher will meet within three days, and after that, the teacher will choose a part of the meeting according to the prayer post of our students. ”

"If you choose a part, then the gentleman may not be able to meet Mr. Jingci?" Yang Miao asked.

"Please trust my subordinates, I will definitely try my best to meet the teacher, and then introduce Childe. Qiu Ten showed enough confidence and said affirmatively.

Qiu Shishi knew that if this thing couldn't be done, what qualifications did he have to be the first strategist of Gongzi.

"Okay, everything is up to Mr. Lao, and the cost is just to ask Chang Fuyou, and the cost is huge. Yang Miao said.

"Childe, don't worry, the cost shouldn't be very large, my brothers and teachers are not greedy for money. Qiu Ten said.

"Doing it becomes the first goal. Yang Miao said, "You can do things without spending money, and it will be very difficult, I don't want my husband to be too tired, and my husband doesn't have to worry about money." Yang Miao said.

"Obey the Childe's order. Qiu Shiten's words and retreated.

Yang Miao asked Xiaoliu to find Chang Fuyou and told Chang Fuyou, "Mr. Ten Years will have some expenses in the recent autumn, and he will arrange for me to meet Mr. Jingci, and you should cooperate as much as possible." ”

"Childe, don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate, the maximum cost I can spend here is five thousand taels, and there will be no more. Chang Fuyou said.

"Have you ever thought about making your business bigger, so that you will have more money available? Yang Miao asked.

"I was just about to tell Childe about this. Chang Fuyou said.

Seeing Yang Miao nodding and listening, Chang Fuyou continued: "In the past two years, the Jia family has also been suppressed by the Nine Kingdoms, and the grain grown now is also regulated, and now the profits are not as good as before. ”

"In addition, it is difficult for the Jia family's rice to be transported to Dashan Country now, and most of it can only be sold in Daxing, and most of it has to be sold to the Nine-Nation Alliance, and the support for us in the future is becoming more and more limited. ”

"Childe, so I want to buy some slaves and subordinates, I want to go to Wanshan City to open a rice shop in person, and at the same time, I want to open a rice shop in the west of the city. We laid our own foundation in the Great Mountain Country and built a rice store with its headquarters in the Great Mountain Country. Chang Fuyou said.

"This is okay, when you buy slaves and subordinates, ask me to take a look together, let Yang Shi try it in Wanshan City, you should open the west of the city." Yang Miao said.

"Childe, we have a name, all the rice lines are called by one name, and they can be called by each other, can you say okay?" Chang Fuyou said.

"Yes. Yang Miao said.

"Childe, you take a name, I will change the name of our current rice shop as the headquarters of our rice shop, as for the Jia family, I need Childe to explain to the two young masters. ”

"Name, let's call it Sanshui Mi Xing, uncle's side, I'll write a letter, and you can send it to Jia's house. Yang Miao said.

"Okay, Childe, then I'll change the name of the store tomorrow and use it as the headquarters of our Sanshui Rice Shop. ”

Yang Miao wrote a letter on the spot, in which she asked when Jia Zhenqi would arrive in Wangcheng.

Yang Miao had breakfast and read the book, Chang Fuyou came in to find Yang Miao, and said that today is the first day of a large-scale slave fair, in the east square of the city, this kind of trade fair exists in every country, and there is a relatively prosperous trade fair in the capital, where slaves can be exchanged with each other, or slaves can be bought and sold, and the subordinates can only be hired in the slums.

The trade fairs of a country's capital city are held once every six months, and the trade fairs of small cities are generally smaller, and they are also traded once a month, and the government is involved in supervision and registration.

Yang Miao followed Chang Fuyou, took Aitai, Yang Shi and Xiaoliu to the slave trade fair in the east of the city.

There are a lot of people, and Chang Fuyou has come a few times, just to see if there is any sale.

Chang Fuyou introduced that the square is very large, divided into the outermost layer, and the inner layer, and the middle one is the largest, which is the slave sold in the mountain country.

The outermost layer was put out by some landlords or small-scale scholars, and the slaves traded were relatively small and scattered, and those slaves were either also traded, or they were the children born of slaves, and when the children grew up, they were brought here to sell.

The middle layer is the slaves to be traded by some big scholars or some official families, and these slaves are mainly traded and found to be unusable, or the children born to slaves are brought over to sell when they grow up, and some are also rewarded by the lord of the country.

In the middle is the official sale, and the source of slaves is mainly the official raid and sale as slaves, or war booty.

Among the three, the quality sold by the middle officials is the highest, and some are still some educated, knowledgeable and good-looking people, the quality in the middle is slightly worse, and the quality in the outermost part is much worse.

The price is also set according to the quality, and there are some things that the slave in the middle needs to bid to get.

Yang Miao had seen and bought it in the book before, and it was still very shocking to see and hear it on such a large scale like today.

Those who set up stalls need to pay a fee, and those who enter the stall are also paid according to the capitation fee.

After a while, the contents of the decree came out, and a notice was posted, saying that the king had recently bathed and baptized to welcome Mr. Jingci, and that the slave trade had been postponed to July 15.

Yang Miao and the others could only go back.

After three days, Mr. Jingci entered Wangcheng from the north gate, and Xu Gaoxuan, the seventh prince of Dashan Kingdom, replaced the lord Xu Mingzhi, and led hundreds of officials and various famous families to greet Mr. Jingci at the gate of the city.

Yang Miao also followed Qiu Shishi to greet Mr. Jingci on both sides of the road.

Yang Miao felt the influence of the three famous men on the mainland for the first time, he thought about it for a while, it was a little scary, if the three famous men formed an alliance, could it overthrow a country.

It is no wonder that the lords of the mountains need to be bathed and baptized to welcome Mr. Jingci.

After Jingci entered the Dashan State Guesthouse, the scholars bowed to the State Guesthouse before leaving.

Yang Miao returned to the house, and said that he had already presented the written prayer note and handed it over to his senior brother in person, and in two days, after Mr. Jingci met the lord of the country, he would inquire about the situation.

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Jingci is like this everywhere he goes?" Yang Miao asked.

"Childe, do you mean the lord of the country bathing or the prince of the royal family greeting you?" Qiu Shishi asked rhetorically.

"Count, there are scholars who welcome them, and ordinary people also bow and worship. Yang Miao asked.

"Basically, in some countries, the status of the three famous men is higher than that of the royal family. ”

"Aren't the royal family afraid of unstable status?" Yang Miao asked.

"Childe must not ask such a question when he is outside. If you say that, others will say that you are criticizing the relationship between the state and celebrities, arresting you or even assassinating you. ”

"Because the relationship between the three famous people and the country is very delicate, the country and the famous people are cautious. The most important thing is that behind the three celebrities are also the three major forces in the mainland. Qiu Shishi whispered.
