Slave market! The legal slave trading market is different from the Taketori years. Since the new emperor came to the throne, a new law has been issued. In the most popular way, it is that God has the virtue of good life. The meaning of being placed in the slave market is that slaves should not be abused.
, to accumulate virtue.
Of course, special slaves are not included in this article.
Some of them were war criminals themselves, and it was normal for them to be beaten.
There are also some, like the daughter of the Pu family who is sitting in a small building and being served by two Goguryeo slave maids.
This product is valuable. Whether it is the appearance of the daughter of the Park family or her origin, she is destined to be a high-priced slave. It is necessary to protect every inch of skin on her body.
Seemingly bowing to her fate, the daughter of the Pu family was sitting on the couch and reading quietly.
She never thought that her Chinese learning could be used here. Chinese books that were extremely expensive in Goryeo could be easily piled higher than hers here.
Perhaps the value of these books is higher than hers.
Just when she was mourning the romance of the poems in the book, the door was pushed open.
Angry? She has no right to be angry, because this is no longer her home, she is just a slave.
"Dress her up, dress her up!" The man who spoke had eyes like eagles, eyes that could see through everything. He was cold and cruel. She saw with her own eyes that the slave girl who was unwilling to obey was stabbed with bamboo needles into her hands and feet.
Fingertip.
The man's eyes were still cold.
When the four servants entered the house, Park's daughter did not dare to resist and allowed herself to be manipulated.
The door was closed again, and the man with eyes like eagles stood outside the door. In front of him stood a strong man with a stronger aura than him, exuding the proud aura of surviving a hundred battles.
"Remember, you are just a businessman. A legal businessman in the Tang Dynasty. You will sell to whoever bids the highest price?"
The eagle-eyed man shook his head: "I don't dare. I took the money from Prince Qin's Palace. Cheng and Hou, the two younger ones, can't explain it!"
The guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion who came to deliver the message heard this and thought about it. He would not dare to accept the money. At this time, the eagle-eyed man said again: "Your Highness is kind, and it is not a small matter to accept and retreat secretly."
Dare. Send me a job. I have 180 people with good skills under my command. I don’t care about risking my life!"
"Your Highness likes excellent craftsmen!"
"A certain person sneaked into Goguryeo to rob people!" The eagle-eyed man's eyes were filled with light.
The guard of the Prince's Mansion shook his head: "There is another word, called guai! I know a few Goguryeo craftsmen who would rather not receive rewards but also want to see their families. If this matter is planned carefully, it will be a great achievement!"
While the two were discussing, someone came up and reported that His Highness King Qin was less than a mile away from the store.
Welcome?
No, His Highness the King of Qin is visiting privately, so it is naturally inappropriate to greet him. However, it is appropriate to have some refreshments in the store for distinguished guests.
When Li Yuanxing walked to the door of the slave shop, he stopped.
A slave shop is naturally a place for slave trading. But this place looks like a teahouse. The name of Tie Yingya Shop is written on the door, and there is no obvious wording of slave trading. The decoration is somewhat elegant, if not
I know my stuff, but I really can’t see the feeling of half a slave trade.
"Where are those sticks?" Li Yuanxing asked Lu Maofeng beside him softly.
"Your Highness was walking slowly. They stopped at another street. They probably wanted to meet His Highness unexpectedly!"
"Okay, what an unexpected encounter." Li Yuanxing smiled and walked into the store.
Tie Ying came up to him, cupped his fists and saluted, then stepped aside without saying a word.
Li Yuanxing also clasped his fists and returned the salute: "The shopkeeper is polite!"
Tie Ying was stunned for a moment. He thought about countless scenarios when he saw King Qin, but he never expected that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty would actually return a gift to a small person like him. He glanced sideways at the door of the store, but there was no one there. Suddenly,
Tie Ying took a step back and performed a Tang military salute.
Li Yuanxing was equally surprised and a little ashamed.
What did the Tang Dynasty do to these soldiers? The pitiful pensions, the food that was no better than slaves, and then think about the remnant soldiers struggling in the slums, why? Why are these people here?
The military spirit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is imprinted in their bones.
Li Yuanxing looked a little moved, patted Tie Ying's shoulder gently twice, and sat down without saying a word.
Tie Ying didn't understand Li Yuanxing's actions at all and was stunned.
Lu Maofeng's voice rose a few degrees at this time: "Yingtou, if there is anything particularly outstanding, let my husband see it!"
"Yes, yes, please have a seat, distinguished guest!" Tie Ying looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly retreated to the back hall. Lu Maofeng also followed him. He just wanted to take a look at Tie Ying's place except for the most special thing.
Besides a piece of goods, is there anything else that is very distinctive?
There are already hundreds of slaves standing in the back hall, all of them beautiful female slaves.
The lowest price for these slaves starts at 5 guan, and the highest price reaches 100 guan. You know, a strong cow only costs 7 guan. Especially recently, the cattle from Shiwei have been shipped to Chang'an, and the price of a strong cow has dropped to
More than 5,000 yuan.
Li Yuanxing will definitely not want these Goguryeo female slaves. Even if they are maids in Qinwangzhuang, even if they are slaves, they must be clean.
However, since it is just a show, it is necessary to buy more than a dozen people back.
"Lu Ling! Who was Your Highness just now?"
When Lu Maofeng heard this question, he let out a long sigh: "You shouldn't, you are just a thieves. You don't understand what military salute is!"
The words "you shouldn't" and the words "you don't understand" made Tie Ying even more confused.
Lu Maofeng retreated to the corner and said softly: "Your Highness has a thorn in his heart. I heard some from Wu Bin, and also heard some from General Lang. Later, Captain Erwa also said some. I finally understood, Your Highness has been
I think Datang owes me and other veterans, especially those veterans who fought for Datang through life and death."
"Some..., damn it!"
"Don't mention this matter again, and don't mention it to others. Do your business!" Lu Maofeng warned Tie Ying. Some words cannot be spread randomly. There are aristocratic families and royal families in the Tang Dynasty. You, Li Yuanxing, pity the sergeant.
, that is, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty regarded the sergeants as human beings. It would be heartbreaking to say this more seriously. What do you, Li Yuanxing, want to do by buying people's hearts?
Tie Ying had been living in the Green Forest for many years, so he knew the importance of the matter, so he nodded silently and said nothing.
Li Yuanxing was sitting drinking tea, and two teams of female slaves were brought in. One team was twelve people, and the other team was twenty-four people, standing on both sides.
Lu Maofeng placed a stack of documents in front of Li Yuanxing, and Li Yuanxing flipped through them. The documents were recorded in great detail, including age, height, body shape, and even whether there were scars on their bodies. Not to mention whether these female slaves knew how to be a prostitute, sing and dance, etc.
Skill.
"The Tang Dynasty is a great state, and it does not uphold justice for the small neighboring countries. Instead, it buys and sells the people of Goryeo. Isn't it unworthy of the magnanimity of a great state? The ministers of the small state are unclear, please clarify the doubts of His Majesty the King of Qin?" The envoy of Goryeo said loudly.
Shouting, he rushed inside holding the envoy's staff.
He has such a sharp mouth, and the theories of Confucianism are revealed as soon as he opens his mouth.
It is a pity that Li Yuanxing is not a Confucian and has not been educated in Confucianism.
After slowly taking a sip of tea, Li Yuanxing said calmly: "I have all these, especially the dancer. I think it is good. It would be a pleasure to watch the singing and dancing of foreign races in my free time!"
Li Yuanxing completely ignored the appearance of the Goguryeo envoy and just pretended that the other party did not exist.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!" The Goguryeo envoy had already stood ten steps away from Li Yuanxing.
"There is no King of Qin here, only Li Yuanxing who is hanging out in Chang'an with his family. Of course, if you think King Qin is just a title, then I am King Qin. If you think King Qin is an official position, I am on vacation today and will not handle official business.
, if there is any official matter, the envoy please go to Honglu and submit the application first! I will handle it naturally when I am free!"
Even Lu Maofeng couldn't accept Li Yuanxing's words, let alone the Goguryeo envoy.
As the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, you can't be such a rogue.
As an envoy, he naturally had enough wit. The Goguryeo envoy continued: "His Royal Highness King Qin, you are insulting me and Goguryeo!"
"Lu Maofeng, pass on my king's order. Starting today, four people will be sent to visit this envoy every hour. If he doesn't receive you, then I will think that Goguryeo is insulting my king and the Tang Dynasty."
The Goguryeo envoy was stunned. The Tang Dynasty officials he met all understood etiquette and etiquette. Even if they were unhappy, they would not speak so harshly, leaving no room for either party.
Li Yuanxing stood up: "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to yell at me!"
"I am the envoy of Goguryeo, representing Goguryeo!" The envoy of Goguryeo straightened his body.
Li Yuanxing held out two fingers. The Goguryeo envoy thought that Li Yuanxing was going to say something.
But at this time, Lu Maofeng put a cigarette between Li Yuanxing's two fingers. After Li Yuanxing pinched the cigarette, Lu Maofeng took out a lighter and lit it.
"Coming uninvited is a bad guest. I am not engaged in politics and do not hold any official position in the court. You keep mentioning your identity as an envoy in front of me. I would like to ask, does it have anything to do with me? Are you here?
If you come uninvited when the king is resting and disturb my mood, aren't you considered a bad guest? People who don't know any manners should be treated with courtesy by me."
The expression of the Goryeo envoy changed several times, and he gritted his teeth: "I, Goryeo, are willing to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yuanxing smiled: "It's a pity that for this kind of thing, you should go to Honglu Temple and submit a formal document!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, why don't you tell me directly what it takes to have a real talk with this envoy. As long as His Highness makes a request, I, the Great Goguryeo, will consider it. Otherwise, for the sake of my dignity, I, the Great Goguryeo, are not afraid to fight with the Tang Dynasty.
war."
The Goguryeo envoys were full of confidence.
If Li Yuanxing refuses to have formal talks with him, then once he formally declares war on behalf of Goguryeo, Li Yuanxing will bear the blame for provoking the war between the two countries. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
