After saying that, Du Wei walked forward. Ruolin glanced at the little clever guy, casually took out a coin from his pocket and threw it over. Sandy immediately caught it with both hands. He did it very skillfully. Obviously,
He had to repeat it several times every day. But after he caught the heavy coin, his eyes immediately widened!
He spat in his hand, wiped it vigorously, then looked at it carefully before his eyes, and bit it with his teeth in an unbelievable way...
It’s actually gold?!
Sandy was so pleasantly surprised that she immediately realized that she had met a big shot today!
Usually, the people whom I serve usually give me a few copper horns at most in the end, and for those who are more generous, I only give myself a silver coin at most.
But this is actually a gold coin!
One gold coin is enough to live on for my family of three for more than a month! It also allows my father to drink a small cup of the cheapest ale every day. I can also buy a pair of old leather boots as I wish!
Quickly stuffing the coins into his pocket, Sandy chased after him with all his strength, got closer to Duwei in a flattering manner, and started working hard.
"Are you familiar with this place? Then let me ask you, if I plan to buy a few slaves, where should I go first?"
"Then it depends on what you are going to buy people for." Sandy accepted the money and never dared to hold back on his work. His thin body did not appear to be blocked in the crowded crowd, and he was as flexible as a loach.
, speaking in a fast and clear voice: "If you want to buy a few maids, I suggest you go to Guannufang. The slaves there are all from wealthy families. They are well-trained and understand the etiquette of the upper class.
, you won’t lose face if you buy it back. If you only need a few coolies, then I can recommend several good places to you. From your accent, it seems that you are not from the imperial capital?" At the end of the sentence, Sandy was very cunning.
made a probing sentence.
But this time this clever little guy guessed wrong.
Duweidi's accent is indeed somewhat different from that of the Imperial Capital. That's because he was born in the Luo Lin family and because of the tradition of the Luo Lin family. People in the Luo Lin family, including old Count Raymond, all speak with some Luo Lin Pingyuan.
Du Wei's accent became even stronger after living in Luolin Plain for another year.
Seeing that Du Wei smiled and said nothing, Sandy immediately lowered his voice and said: "Then I want to remind you that in this place, although all transactions are permitted and protected by the imperial code, outsiders like you still have to
Pay attention to some rules. Especially some people, don’t offend them. Those are powerful people in the imperial capital... Last month, there were a few outside businessmen. They wanted to rob and buy two beautiful female slaves, and they were from the imperial capital.
A housekeeper from a noble family got into a fight here, and was eventually given a severe lesson and thrown to the moat outside the city!"
Seeing that the little God of Wealth still didn't speak, Sandy felt a little unsure, so he hurriedly introduced: "Generally speaking, the slaves here are also divided into several grades. The first grade, the most expensive, of course are the official slaves.
.They were all those who were originally wealthy families who had their homes ransacked because of crimes, and the family members were deprived of their status as free citizens and became slaves. Those official slaves are the most sought-after. I heard that there are several nobles who have fallen recently.
The daughter of the family and the concubine have all become slaves. During the auction the day before yesterday, several buyers almost got into a fight... Alas, everyone hopes to buy a daughter from a noble family and go back to be a slave girl.
That will make you look more respectable in the future."
Du Wei frowned slightly. He knew very well who the "nobles who had fallen recently" the boy was talking about. To be precise, his Luo Lin family also fell recently. It was just because of his own existence and talents in the family.
He did not suffer the tragic fate of becoming a slave.
Sandy continued: "Except for the official slaves, the second-class slaves are the barbarians from the northwest. All of those guys are strong and strong, and they are definitely good at work.
.But if you buy that kind of person and just do menial work, it would be a waste."
"Why?" Du Wei finally asked. This made Sandy feel relieved, and he quickly said: "Because the greatest value of those barbarians from the northwest is not hard work. It is... raising horses! Those from the northwest
The barbarians who come here are all very good at raising horses, riding horses, and taking care of livestock. If you have a pasture at home, buy a few barbarians from the northwest and go back to work. This will ensure that your pasture will last the next year.
The harvest has greatly increased!”
Du Wei nodded.
"However, although these barbarians are good slaves, you should be very careful when buying them back. Those guys are very wild, hot-tempered, and difficult to discipline, especially they like to run away. If you don't send someone to guard them, they might swarm them.
Run away. Those guys are fierce desperadoes and will not hesitate to fight with their lives."
"anything else?"
"Also, there is the third class... The third class are all people from our empire, but they are poor people who can't make a living, and most of them don't have any skills. However, these people are very honest, as long as they have something to eat
If you eat, you can have a full stomach. You will be very loyal to your master and will not run away. It is also very easy to discipline."
When Sandy said this, his face showed a bit of sadness that was not consistent with his age. He couldn't help but whispered: "Oh, these days, if it is not difficult to survive, no one will be willing to sell themselves into slavery.
ah."
Duweido glanced at this boy.
"Finally, there are those guys from Nanyang. Those natives are the cheapest and the most slaves here. But if you want to buy these people, you have to choose carefully because there are always good and bad mixed together. Those black-hearted slave traders
, always selling a strong slave with a few old, weak or young ones. These Nanyang natives are also divided into several types. The best ones are those who have lived in the empire for many years or even several generations. In this way
People who can speak the language of our empire can understand it even if they can't speak it. It's also convenient to buy them back and use them. Such people are called "cooked slaves". But there is another kind, which is those who have just been captured by the army of the empire.
Slaves who can't speak our language, don't understand anything, and always want to escape, such slaves are generally called "raw slaves". In terms of price, generally speaking, raw slaves are much cheaper than mature slaves. Of course, if they are some special
It’s hard to say the price for a beautiful slave girl.”
After the introduction, Sandy suddenly turned around and shouted to the two or three dirty boys who had quietly approached Duwei: "Get out of here, Dick! This is my distinguished guest! Didn't you see me here?"
If you want to do business, go elsewhere!”
The two or three boys looked suspicious at first glance. They were already standing only three or five steps away from Du Wei. Seeing Sandy yelling, one of the tallest guys cursed unhappily and muttered: "Sandy is a little liar."
!You always ruin my business!”
After saying that, he glanced at Du Wei and Ruolin unwillingly, then turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Sandy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't worry about those guys, they are just cheating on this street. But as long as I'm here, they won't cause you any trouble. But you still have to be careful.
, there are a lot of golden fingers here.”
Du Wei glanced at Ruolin. He was not worried about these thieves at all. Although Ruolin was not a master, she could deal with hundreds of these street gangsters without any problem. And his own strength was just that.
Not to mention. But he became more and more curious about this boy: "Are those guys just now thieves?"
"Shhh!!" Sandy's face changed, and he whispered quickly: "Don't say that! Don't say the name 'thief'. If those guys hear it, they will think it is an insult and will find someone."
You're in trouble. Even if we mention these guys, we have to say 'gold finger'. This is the rule of the road."
Du Wei smiled secretly in his heart, and then said: "But if you ruin their affairs, won't they cause trouble for you?"
"Hmph." Sandy pouted: "We all grew up together on this street, and we have been fighting since we were young. People here, even if they bully others, they only bully outsiders, and generally they will not attack their own people.
.And...my brother used to be one of their little bosses. For my brother's sake, they won't make things difficult for me. Everyone is just living together, and no one will really fight until they have a fight.
They hold grudges against each other...and, you see, there are a lot of outsiders here every day, so they don't have to worry about running out of business."
In fact, Sandy's words are half true and half false. When he makes money in this business, he will definitely offend a few golden fingers. Although he said that everyone grew up on the same street and will not really fall out, they will inevitably get into trouble.
It still takes a few beatings. But you can earn a few copper corners every time. Even if you get a few punches and kicks, it's still worth it.
And today I actually got a gold coin. Even if I get beaten up by those guys when I go back, Sandy thinks it is very worth it.
