"Ming Hao, you don't know, not to mention the seventh-order slaves and coolies, if you can afford the money, even the pseudo-king-level or the real king-level master can buy it, but the price is too expensive, I'm afraid that according to the current market, a king-level master will have at least one million taels of silver, and there is still no market. ”

Hearing He Jiahao's words, Ming Hao could be regarded as having some understanding of the slaves on the Xuantian Continent, but Ming Hao was a little incomprehensible, you said that a king-level master can live a rich and noble life no matter what he does, how could he sell himself here as a slave.

"He Jiahao, since there are three kinds of slaves, then the other two are that. ”

Hearing Ming Hao's question, He Jiahao stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, because he had just drunk a little too much, and He Jiahao was also a little thirsty at this time: "The second kind of slaves we can't easily see, those are all slaves belonging to the empire. ”

"Imperial?"

Ming Hao has also been in the Holy Capital for a long time, and he has never heard of the Shenlong Empire actually raising slaves, but this time, it was not He Jiahao who answered for Ming Hao, but Li Kexin took over the conversation: "It's hard to imagine that you, the eldest son of the Gongsun family, don't know any of this." ”

“！！！”

Ming Hao really doesn't know, is it related to the Gongsun family at this time?

Seeing Ming Hao's doubts, Li Kexin said helplessly: "Do you know what your Divine Dragon Empire relied on to resist the three major empires back then?"

Needless to say, of course, a strong army.

"That's right, but there is a special group of soldiers in your imperial army, they are the second type of slaves in the legend, usually composed of some death row prisoners or some criminals, according to the words of your imperial emperor Long Aotian, it is better to kill them than to contribute to the empire, so every time they fight, these slave camps are the first to attack, of course, they have no formal training and formal equipment, each of them is naked and issued a short sword, just use their power to disrupt the enemy camp. ”

Hearing Li Kexin's explanation, Ming Hao felt a trace of curiosity in his heart: "But according to what you said, then they are almost dead after they go to the battlefield, won't these people take advantage of the chaos to escape or defect in order to survive?"

"Haha" Listening to Ming Hao's serious question, Li Kexin and He Jiahao couldn't help but smile, and He Jiahao continued to tell Ming Hao: " This custom has continued for more than ten years, although there were really a few chaos at the beginning, but those chaos is not big, and the most important thing to control them is that before setting off for the battlefield, every slave will take poison, even if they escape or defect to the battle, they will not survive a day, and as long as they can survive on the battlefield, they will be incorporated into the official army sequence, although there will be some restrictions, but it is better than being beheaded by officials in the local area. ”

After listening, Ming Hao also nodded, Long Aotian can create such a great feat of the Shenlong Empire is really worthy of a generation of Ming Jun, at least those coolie-like slaves outside, although life may be harder, but at least they have a way to get money quickly in times of crisis, or through formal channels, and those buyers also prefer to be able to do ten or even decades of coolies as soon as they buy it, otherwise it would be a big loss for them to change jobs or resign from the old guys they had worked so hard to cultivate, and Long Aotian also gave all the people of the Shenlong Empire a hope through this simple method, a hope and a life when they were at the end of the road。

And the second kind of slaves, are some of the local death row prisoners or people who have committed serious crimes, these people deserve to die, rather than being beheaded by the yamen of various prefectures, it is better to send them to the battlefield to consume the morale and energy of the place, and those who can do the most vicious will at least have some ability, as for surviving and being incorporated into the regular army, this is just to give these slaves a glimmer of hope, in the confrontation of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, like them are undisciplined, and the naked people can survive a few, I am afraid that there are only three or five of them who can remove the disability after a war, but this glimmer of hope makes these slaves fight desperately, this dragon is really a reasonable use of all resources。

"Then the last kind of slave is going to be much more miserable, isn't it?"

"Haha, Minghao, you'll see you next, let's go in and have a look. ”

At this moment, Ming Hao and the others have walked to the depths of this slave market, this is no longer the kind of open-air place outside, and in front of Ming Hao is a double open black door, and there are four men, four women and eight waiters standing at the door, and He Jiahao seems to be a frequent visitor here, at this time, he saw He Jiahao at the back door of a young woman and greeted him.

"He Gongzi hasn't seen you for a few days, what wind blew you here today. ”

And He Jiahao is also very familiar with this woman, and at this time, he took out a silver ticket from his arms and stuffed it into the woman's chest clothes: "Xiao Ling, did you miss the young master me when he didn't come during this time." ”

The woman named Xiao Ling looked at the silver ticket that He Jiahao stuffed into her clothes, and the smile on her face became even thicker: "But isn't it, I thought that the young master and noble man forgot things, and I had long forgotten about Xiao Ling, the sister He Gongzi inside, come out to pick up the guests." Saying that, her hands had already stepped on He Jiahao's arms and wanted to take him in, as for Minghao, Li Kexin and Xuewei, this Xiao Ling was shocked by the appearance of Minghao and the others after just glancing at them, but he just stopped looking at the two of them for a moment, thinking that these were He Jiahao's attendants and bodyguards, but He Jiahao did not forget the identities of these people behind him.

"Ming Hao, Kexin, please, Xiao Ling has the young master in room No. 1 of Tianzi today. Saying that, He Jiahao shook off Xiao Ling's hands and ran to Minghao's side and stood there respectfully.

"Two young masters, the little lady has shallow knowledge and does not know the dignity of the two nobles. ”

And this woman named Xiao Ling can serve the people who come and go here, she is also a person with a flexible heart, and when she saw He Jiahao's movements at this moment, she knew that she had just looked away, but in the face of her current diligence, Minghao and Li Kexin just shook their heads and smiled, raised their legs and went inside.

However, when he went in again, Ming Hao's body was obviously a little stiff, just the conversation between He Jiahao and this woman, especially the sentence that came out to pick up Ming Hao was too familiar, if it wasn't for the fact that He Jiahao would not dare to take himself to that kind of messy place at this time, Ming Hao was afraid that this was the real Yihong Mansion.

Sure enough, when they entered, a team of eight women rushed out to greet them, and that Xiao Ling was obviously a full-time guard at the door to receive people coming and going, and he didn't follow after Ming Hao and the others came in.

What Ming Hao didn't expect was that these eight women He Jiahao actually knew each other, and at this time, he saw them laughing one by one and walking inside, fortunately, these women were dressed appropriately, and they looked down and generous when talking, otherwise Ming Hao would not necessarily go inside.

"What, the No. 1 room is booked out?"

Passing through the long corridor was a hall, and at this moment He Jiahao was arguing with a person at the front desk.

"Alright, let's just find a room. Li Kexin was a little unhappy when he heard He Jiahao's shouting, and he also persuaded him at this time, as for Ming Hao, he didn't care about these at all, and he came here just to see and understand.

"No, but you don't know, only the Tianzi No. 1 room here is the key, tell you, you know who I am, you know who the people around me are, even if your master comes, you have to call him a young master, tell you, no matter who occupies Tianzi No. 1 today, you have to give up to this young master." ”

"Who is so angry, He Fatzi just dare to let me Liu Zhe let the room, it seems that you are really tired..................... Minghao, Kexin, why are you here. ”

Just when He Jiahao grabbed the person at the front desk and roared, a group of people walked in from outside, this line was the Liu family led by Liu Zhe, at this time after seeing He Jiahao's movements and hearing He Jiahao's voice, Liu Zhe couldn't help but say sarcastic, because Ming Hao and Li Kexin were facing away from him at that time, he didn't see it, but when he said half of his words, Ming Hao and the two also turned back when they heard the words, and after seeing Ming Hao and the two, Liu Zhe swallowed half of the words, and almost didn't bite his tongue.

"Liu Zhe hasn't seen you for a long time, since it's the room you ordered, then let's change it. ”

Not to mention, this time Liu Zhe took a group of people Ming Hao almost recognized, each of them was the leader of the younger generation of the Liu family, and Liu Lu, who left a deep impression on Ming Hao that day, was also among them, but this time Liu Lu changed her usual hostility with Liu Zhe, and at this moment her expression was also very quiet when she was holding Liu Zhe's arm with both hands.

"Where did Young Master Gongsun say, what yours and mine, Tianzi No. 1 is so big, we can just get together to drink and have fun. ”

"Young Master Liu, I'm afraid this won't work, we still have some things to talk about when we came here today, let's change rooms." Without waiting for Ming Hao to answer, Li Kexin on the side took over the conversation, and because they were both students of Shenlong Academy, and there was also Liu Zhe among the seven villas, the two of them still knew each other.

At this time, Liu Zhe was not stupid when he heard Li Kexin's words, but he did not leave the handrail in a fit of anger, but continued: "It seems that Brother Kexin and Brother Minghao must have come for the first time and don't know what are the benefits of Tianzi No. 1 here, and we are just here to chat today, it doesn't matter what room is, in this case, I will be a favor, how can I not let the two of you come for nothing." ”

"Okay, then I'll thank Young Master Liu here. ”

On the side, He Jiahao also glanced at Liu Zhehe and the front desk just now.

Ming Hao didn't care much about these, since Li Kexin liked Ming Hao, of course he had no objection, and then Ming Hao and Li Kexin followed He Jiahao towards the legendary Tianzi No. 1, as for those blood guards, they were blocked by the eight women who led the way just now, and the guards here were not allowed to enter, and Ming Hao did not object, nodded to the blood guard, and the blood guard also obediently followed these women.
