Chapter 61 On How Many Celebrities with the Last Name of Gongsun in the Tang Dynasty?
West Market is the newest, smallest and most expensive market in Luoyang, the capital of China.
Unlike the Southern Market, which sells north-south department stores, and the Northern Market, which sells labor and livestock, the West Market sells the most expensive things.
West Market is also called Human Market.
Whether it is Silla maids, Anxi slaves, Kunlun slaves, or horse slaves from Mobei, or serfs from Tubo. As long as you have money, those people with hands and eyes can get them for you.
For example, the Boba Milk Tea that is now hidden in Xue Chongxun's golden house is said to be a princess from a small country in the far west that Princess Taiping bought from a group of Sogdians at a huge price.
Although Li Chongrun didn't understand what the Tang Dynasty called those small countries in Europe that were in the blind spot of his knowledge, but judging from the flaxen hair and silver eyes of Boba Milk Tea, he should be a Slav, that is, one of Mao Zi's ancestors.
However, the laws of the Tang Dynasty were very strict. Although it is now the Zhou Dynasty, the rules of the Tang Dynasty are still followed.
Worse, the disease is about to starve to death. It is not allowed to put up a straw mark and sell yourself. Several big dental shops are qualified to take people. If you want to sell yourself, you need to go to the dentist first.
The banker had to collect it and issue a cut-off document to prove that it was a slave, and then it could be handed over to various people for sale.
Of course, those with unusual skin and eyes are not included in this list.
The largest tooth shop in the West Market is a newly opened shop called Lifa. Although it is newly opened, it occupies the best area in the West Market except for the wine shop. When it first opened, it spent a lot of money to make it the most popular restaurant in the West Market.
The few people in Lingxing dug in with all their teeth. The reason why they were so arrogant was because it was said that the boss's surname was Wu.
It's a bit late today. People from all walks of life have been shouting at the street for a day. They are exhausted from eating and hiding in various tooth shops to find some water to drink.
Lao Chen didn't open anything today, so he felt a little anxious. Just watching the sun gradually go to the west mountain, he could only admit that he was unlucky, and prepared to go back to Yahang to pay the bill and go home.
But at this time, Xiao Huazi, who usually took water from him, quietly came to look for him, saying that some young men came from Xishikou. Although he looked young, he looked very extravagantly dressed.
"Take me there quickly, the benefits will come from you, and you are indispensable."
Old Chen hurriedly took out the packed tent out of his backpack, patted his cheeks to refresh himself, and made his skin look more energetic after being sunburned all day, and put on an absolutely professional smile.
Let the little flower lead him there.
"I have met the King of Linzi. The old man's surname is Chen, and he is the shopkeeper of Lifa Company. There are many good products here, and I would like to ask the prince to take care of them."
Old Chen met many people and had a very vicious eye. As soon as he saw Li Chongrun riding a horse, he immediately judged his identity.
"If the old man can tell you how you can recognize me at a glance, I will negotiate a big deal with you, how about that?"
Li Chongrun did not wear a purple robe today, and there was no mark on the carriage. Li Chongrun was very curious that this man could actually reveal his identity.
"The folding fan of Qingyi Garden is now very expensive in the market. It can be inserted into the waist of the prince as casually as the prince. Apart from the owner of Qingyi Garden, only the steward of the small building, Mr. Wang, can be so heroic. But this prince
The young master often walks around the Western Market, so the young man will naturally recognize him."
He praised Li Chongrun neither high nor low. In fact, this old man Chen did not tell the truth. If the well-informed people in Luoyang, the capital of God, did not know, the newly promoted King of Linzi liked to ride a little mare with dark clouds and snow to the Imperial Academy.
If you go to school, you can't hang out on the street.
Li Chongrun was fooled by the old man using this excuse, but he didn't know that Gai Xue, the ill-tempered young lady in his family, was the culprit who exposed his identity.
"I heard that the prince's mansion has just been built. I think I want to buy some maids and handymen. There are some good and innocent people here. How about the prince taking over?"
Old man Chen is very glad that he persisted for a little longer today. King Linzi, although the house is not as exaggerated as the princess's mansion, it still occupies two streets of a wealthy family. If this business succeeds, I am afraid that I will
More than half a year's work has been done.
"There's no rush for maids, handymen, etc. Of course, there will be people to worry about. My brother has no one to take care of him, so he wants to buy some children, half as a personal attendant and half as a playmate."
Li Chongrun couldn't directly say that he was going to buy some children and train them to be the idol trainees of the Tang Dynasty, so he could only buy people in the name of finding some playmates for Brother Fan.
"Children have it, children have it. Why don't you, Your Majesty, go to the dental shop with me?"
Hearing that the young prince wanted to buy a child, Lao Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared to lead the way.
Different from buying slaves and handymen, those who buy children are mostly nobles who want to take the route of raising children, or profiteers like brothels and restaurants who are reluctant to go to the Jiaofang Department to buy finished products.
Although children cannot become laborers, there are fewer people buying them on weekdays, and the price is much lower than laborers. However, the dental shop also provides more taps, so it is still a good business.
"Your Highness, please pay attention. These are the best products in the industry. Some of them are the characters replaced by Li Tao from the Jiaofang Secretary."
The little girl in her late teens was taken out from the warehouse behind the shop like an ordinary animal. She tried her best to put on a smile and let you choose, but it might have been because she had been picked for a day.
, all looking a little weak.
"It's a bit big." Although Li Chongrun wanted to save people from danger, it was contrary to his own plan, so he could only let it go first.
Lao Chen was a little unwilling to give up, and still wanted to recommend her again, and even roped in a girl who was most in line with the Tang Dynasty's aesthetics to "get started" with Li Chongrun.
It wasn't until Li Chongrun showed some displeasure that Lao Chen listened to Li Chongrun's arrangement and brought some seven or eight-year-old children over.
"Young prince, these are just from the dental clinic. They haven't been trained yet, so they are a bit raw." Lao Chen explained to Li Chongrun with a smile on his face.
thin.
This was Li Chongrun's impression when he saw these children for the first time. Although their teeth had been shaved and their appearance had been taken care of, the feeling of being sallow and thin could not be concealed no matter how much they dressed up.
There were seven or eight children, both boys and girls. Maybe they hadn't been trained by Ya Xing yet, so their eyes were a little shrunken and there was no smile on their faces. When they saw Li Chongrun's eyes looking over, they were like little rabbits leaving the nest, and they walked away faintly.
The tallest child was crowded.
Old Chen was about to scold him, but was stopped by Li Chongrun.
The tallest child had a somewhat stubborn look in his eyes. His hair must have been shaved before, and the hair that had just grown out was sticking to his head stubbornly. Looking at Li Chongrun's gaze, he stood with a stubborn look on his face.
In front of children.
This little child reminded Li Chongrun of himself, who seemed to be standing in front of Princess Taiping like this.
