Mirror of the Sky

On the blue sky of the prairie, under that huge scorching sun, Zhang Huansheng smiled and said the answer he had already prepared, "Lord Steward, I am different from Brother Langlijiao.

He is a sea merchant who has been in the Western Qin Dynasty for a long time. He has many rich and distinguished guests who have been in business for decades. Therefore, when buying slaves, he can buy slaves according to the needs of those rich customers, as long as he can sell soldiers, warriors, beauties or even monks at high prices. Last but not least, craftsmen who can do carpentry, winemaking, and lacquer making.

As for me, I'm just a fledgling businessman with little wealth but no connections in the Western Qin Dynasty. Only the ordinary slaves who can be bought by ordinary Western Qin businesses and wealthy households can be most assured that they will not lose money.

I don't know what the big housekeeper you are planning to sell those young men and women slaves who have no advantages, but are strong and healthy, at what price? "

Hearing this, Unger showed an expression of admiration, and said leisurely, "Although Haidong is young, he is quite self-aware, which is very rare.

In fact, after traveling thousands of miles and suffering a lot of torture, there are very few old and young slaves who are still alive. Nine CDs are young and strong men and women. How about paying twice the price of grain? "

The so-called seven times the price of grain is that if a person weighs 100 catties, it is worth the gold and silver that can buy 700 catties of millet. According to the calculation of three silver beads for 100 catties of food in the forest, it is 21 silver beads. .

In the prosperous place in the hinterland of Yanhuang, this is simply unbelievably cheap, but in troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog, and the bid is quite high in Unger's mind.

And then, as he expected, Zhang Huansheng frowned slightly when he heard the price, and said with a bitter face: "Big housekeeper, you should know that this cross-sea slave trade can be transported into Western Qin. The delicate goods of noble people's eyes are still a little bit more. If you transport such ordinary goods, it is completely for profit.

In the cabin, people must be crowded with people, people piled on top of each other, and the sea journey of thousands of miles down, even if the slaves can survive, they will save five or six, and the cost will be doubled all of a sudden.

What's more, the risk of sailing at sea is extremely high, a huge boat costing thousands of gold beads, if it sinks, it will sink..."

After listening to Zhang Yusheng's complaint with a smile, Unger asked slowly, "Then what price do you want, Lord Haidong?"

"Big housekeeper, I just watched from a distance up the hill. Those slaves who cut the grass are all skinny and dry chickens. They used to be two hundred pounds of men. Come on," Zhang Yuansheng said thoughtfully, "so let's not bother to pay seven times the price of grain.

I bought a bunch of them at random. I gave each person ten silver beads. What do you think? "

When Unger heard the words, he laughed loudly and said, "Master Haidong, when you retaliated, you killed half of my bid. How could this be accomplished?"

"How can there be half of them? I can see that most of the female slaves are less than fifty kilograms. If you calculate carefully, maybe the big housekeeper will make some money, that is, the strong man will pay back the price." Zhang Yusheng Wen Yan sounded like a real businessman, with his clever tongue agitated, he spoke with a smile.

"How many slaves do you want to buy?" Unger asked thoughtfully after hearing this.

Legend has it that the "human seed bag" of the Buddha Maitreya who came from the Middle East can hold a thousand living people and make them immortal for ten thousand years.

And the human pockets imitated by the monks in Da Xumi Temple naturally cannot have such magical effects. The worse ones are that they can hold dozens of people, and they will not die for more than a month.

The medium can pretend to be over a hundred people, and will not die for a hundred days;

The best ones can pretend to be four or five hundred people and won't die for half a year, while the most extreme ones can pretend to be the number of people returning to the truth, that is, eight hundred and ten, and they won't die for years.

The rosary beads in the 17 human pockets that Zhang Huansheng carried around his neck were all of the highest quality, and together they could hold 13,770 people.

He came to the forest just to do nothing when he took refuge, thinking about buying 800 female slaves to reconcile the hidden danger of the imbalance between men and women in Zhang Yi, but seeing that tens of thousands of Chu people captured by barbarians were about to become hungry, he couldn't help but feel compassion. He hesitated and said, "Let's buy 13,000 people first."

The previous cross-sea slave trade that Langli Jiao and others had accumulated over the years could only sell more than 3,000 people, but Zhang Huansheng had to buy 13,000 slaves for the first time, which seemed too exaggerated and arrogant. Anyone in the know knows that's not the case.

This is like a utensil with the same regulation. Some are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and stone, which are extremely cheap. The same reason.

The slaves that Langlijiao buys and sells are all skilled in martial arts, charming in appearance, and even 'biren' who are proficient in magic. , hundreds of times.

Transporting this kind of slaves across the sea is also much more troublesome than transporting ordinary slaves. For example, Langlijiao’s under the deck of the giant boat was transformed into a prison cell, which could have been crowded with thousands of slaves. Only five hundred people.

Zhang Huansheng, on the other hand, has already explained that he does not pick and choose. As long as ordinary strong goods are bought for more than ten thousand yuan at a time, they will live at most several thousand when they are shipped to Western Qin. UU read www. After uukanshu.com is sold, it may not be as good as a well-connected seaman like Langlijiao, who sells hundreds of slave soldiers and makes more money.

Therefore, although the amount he wants is quite large, it is reasonable.

Unger listened, and thought for a while in his heart: "Well, how about you give me 1,600 gold beads for 13,000 slaves."

Zhang Huansheng hid in his arms a flying ticket of 12,000 gold beads presented by Li Shuimiao, who had turned evil and returned to the righteous. , bargained with Unger, but just wanted to make the show more realistic.

At this moment, he felt that the heat had arrived, so he nodded and said, "That's it, but I have another request, I hope that the housekeeper will be successful.

Just now, when I was walking towards the big tent, an old slave hugged my legs and feet, and when I asked, it turned out that he had mistaken him for the younger generation in the family.

Thinking about it now, even though it was a misunderstanding, it was also fate. I wonder if you could please give me that old slave as a gift, and I would have done a good deed by letting him settle in Zhuangzi at random. "

When Unger heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's just a small matter, I'll tell someone to do it later.

Speaking of which, it is best for your merchants in Chu to do this kind of good deeds. I know that the Metropolis will make it happen. "

Selling tens of thousands of compatriots overseas, before torturing and killing thousands of people along the way, saving an orphan to reassure oneself is the most hypocritical act of kindness.

Zhang Huansheng heard the sarcasm hidden in Unger's words, and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that this seemingly smooth old man in the woods has a bit of temperament." On the surface, he said gratefully: "So that's how it is. Thank you sir.

Then we're just picking slaves, so I'd better return early after I'm done. "
