Li Kuo didn't know how to describe the Tang people in front of him, or how to face this real situation.
It felt like a dagger had been inserted into my heart. The dagger was gouging and twisting along the heart, causing pain all my life.
The young man's throat surged slightly, and he reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of spit.
"Brother Kuo'er, let's..." Zhang Yanji cautiously approached and asked tentatively.
"Go and ask about the situation, we are not in a hurry to leave." Li Kuo's eyes were cold. Since he encountered such a thing, he could not stand idly by. If those slaves were from the Tang Dynasty, he would rescue them no matter what. That was
The Xiang Party, which has the same roots as them, were the common people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty!
Zhang Yanji nodded and ordered Ashnara to talk to the other party. He was a Turk, so it was obviously more appropriate for him to come forward than for him. Ashnara muttered something and moved reluctantly.
He slowly squeezed into the crowd and patted the slave trader on the shoulder.
"Brother, what kind of business are you doing?" Ashinaraza didn't know what religion this generation believed in now, so he couldn't define it without authorization.
The trafficker had brown hair and his eyes were sunk deep into his eye sockets. He was currently talking to a horse herder. The conversation was interrupted for no reason. The trafficker was a little unhappy. He glanced at Ashinara and said:
: "Don't you have eyes? I'm in the business of selling slaves. If you think it's good, you can come and try your skills! You can sell yourself for three hundred silver coins. Turks are a hot commodity these days!"
These words were obviously provocative. Ashnara's beard trembled with anger when he heard these words: "Don't talk nonsense, the eternal life is in the sky, I am here to buy people."
"Oh?" The trafficker glanced at Ashinara. He didn't think that this skinny Turk could have enough money to buy a slave.
"The goods I have here are the most comprehensive in the whole river. Do you want a short and lean Kunlun slave, or a brave and courageous Turkic man? Or, do you want to buy a shrewd Li Te man to be the housekeeper and accountant?"
The trafficker was obviously well aware of the needs of the God of Wealth shepherds around him, and he had gone through all the possibilities in an instant.
Ashina Luo's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously glanced back at the stern-faced Li Kuo. Hiss, this young general seemed to have really made up his mind, and it would be better not to offend him. After thinking about it, Ashina
Luo Zhe rubbed his palms and said, "Look at what you said, why can't I buy those people?"
Ashinara pointed at the Tang people huddled together and said, "How do those people sell?"
"Them?" the trafficker continued in surprise. Obviously these slaves were not a hot commodity in the market. Now, there are actually buyers who want to buy those Tang people by name?
But he is a shrewd businessman after all. He rolled his eyes and changed his tone: "This is the most precious of all our goods, and it is the treasure of the store. Originally, I didn't plan to sell it, since brother you are so
Sincerely, why don’t I just bleed you for a thousand dollars a piece, what do you think?”
Ashina Luozha took a breath of cold air. Just now, the man said that Turks could get 300 silver coins for selling themselves. The price for Tang people was obviously lower than that for Turks. But the price he was asking at this moment turned out to be 1,000 yuan.
The price difference is more than doubled?
"Seller, are you kidding me? You Turks sell them for 700 yuan each, but these Tang slaves actually charge 1,000 yuan?"
The trafficker snorted coldly and said: "What do you know? These Tang slaves are all craftsmen who originally opened shops in the river countries. Some are blacksmiths, some are carpenters, and they all have skills. Nowadays, two-legged merchants
, herdsmen are easy to find, but four-legged craftsmen are hard to find! You can recruit many of these craftsmen, and you can make a lot of money when you go back to open a shop, so why do you need to travel thousands of miles to sell goods?"
Just by looking at the packhorses and camels not far away, the trafficker guessed the identity of Ashinara. It's strange to say that these days, even the Turks have begun to do business?
"This, this, the price of one thousand yuan is a bit too high, can you give me some benefits?"
Ashinara's eyebrows were tangled together, and his lips were opening and closing in a funny way.
"What? No money? Want to be free? There is no such rule, right? Do you want to buy it or not? If you don't buy it, I will still call other buyers. You dodge, dodge...
"After saying that, the trafficker also gave Ashinaraza a chance to explain and pushed him out.
As the saying goes, bitches are ruthless, actors are unjust, and dealers are the most shameless. At this moment, Ashina Luozha finally understood the truth and said with a smile: "Looking at what you said, I'm not asking this for others.
I'll ask our proprietor. As long as he agrees, we'll pay for it right away! You wait for me first, wait for me..."
After saying that, Ashinara stood on tiptoe in a somewhat embarrassed manner and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Bah!" The trafficker glanced at Ashinara with disdain and spat out thick phlegm. It turned out that he was just an errand boy, and he really thought he was a real person!
When Li Kuo saw Ashina Luo Zha approaching, he stood up and greeted him: "What do you mean, they are from the Tang Dynasty?"
Ashinara wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "It's better to make do with sharp eyes. Those slaves...oh, no, those people are indeed Tang people."
Li Kuo was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Then why don't you buy them out?"
Ashinara spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "They seem to have seen our urgency, and they are asking for a high price!" After taking a look at the young man's expression, he saw that there was nothing strange, and Ashinara finally told the truth.
Ex: "If one person has a thousand silver coins, they might as well go and steal the money!"
He has also been around in this generation, so he naturally has a good grasp of the market. According to the current market price, a Tang man can only be sold for three hundred yuan at most. It is not that he, Ashinara, deliberately belittles the Tang people, but these craftsmen have some
They couldn't use it. Although they had good craftsmanship, they couldn't be accepted by the nearby Caidong herdsmen.
Nowadays, the cannibals rule the river with an iron fist and strictly prohibit the private manufacture of weapons. As a result, among the many professions, the most popular is the trader. If you are a carpenter, you are still better, but you have to catch up with a blacksmith.
Who to sell to?
"A thousand dollars?" Although Li Kuo didn't know much about the market, he was shocked. A thousand dollars was neither too much nor too little. A slave was sold for a thousand dollars. These dealers
It's obvious that the price has been raised from the ground up.
The young man put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and then gritted his teeth and said: "A thousand dollars is a thousand dollars. You go and give the money to that guy, and we will take him away immediately."
"Hey, hey!" Ashinara nodded, moved to a packhorse a few steps away, and pulled out a bulging leather pouch from a yellow leather bag.
"Just wait, I will definitely bring him back to you."
Ashinara's face was full of smiles. This job was too easy, and it didn't require him to pay a penny. He could win the admiration of the governor, so why not do it?
Thinking of this, Ashinara's feet felt even more windy, and he jumped left and right in the crowded market, moving rapidly.
However, things in this world often backfire. When Ashina Luoji just squeezed past the last head and came to the open space, he found that the cage where Tang Nu was imprisoned by Ben Jinghe had been opened, and those who were strung with hemp ropes were
The people of Tang Dynasty who were together were being driven towards them by a sudden horseman, waving a whip.
"Wait! Wait!" Ashina Luo was very anxious and hurriedly rushed forward and said: "Didn't I agree that I would buy these people? Why are you so untrustworthy and sell them to others?"
The trafficker smiled disapprovingly and said: "Brother, judging from what you said, you didn't give me any guarantee that you would definitely buy these Tang slaves. When you left just now, you ran all the way. I thought
I thought you would never come back. If you never come back, am I still unable to sell this slave? There is no such thing in the world, right?"
Ashinara was choked by him and had nothing to say. In this business, it depends on the willingness of the buyer and the seller. He really has no reason to ask the other party to sell people to him. What's more, he was not sure just now that he would be able to sell these slaves.
Buy it.
But, he had already made a promise to Governor Li, so how could he go back empty-handed?
"Look, my boss sincerely wants to buy these people, why don't you sell me a favor and give me these slaves?"
Seeing that the trafficker was determined, Ashnara came to the Tuqi Shiren and begged for his love.
"Huh?" The Tuqi Shi Mu was a big man with a round waist. When he saw a skinny old Turkic man taking the initiative to talk to him, he turned his head with interest.
"Do you think this will work? You transfer these slaves to me and I will give you another thousand dollars as a reward?"
Ashinara gritted his teeth and made a decision that made him extremely heartbroken.
Damn you Tuqi Shiren, your appearance caused me to lose a thousand Dashi silver coins in vain! Hey, Quan thought it was his own misfortune, Quan thought it was his own misfortune!
"Do you think I care about the money?" Tuqi Shi MuZhu raised his eyebrows and his face became a little gloomy.
"Then, what else do you want?" Ashina Luozha felt a huge boulder block his chest and moved back a few steps tremblingly.
"If you call me grandpa, I will give these slaves to you. To be honest, I just bought them to play with for two days, just to keep them fresh!"
Tuqi Shiren pushed for an extra step and put forward a condition that Ashinaraji could not accept.
"You!" Ashnara clenched his fists and his eyes shot out a fierce light.
