Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 13 Slave Market
The two of them stared at each other like black-eyed chickens, and they were reluctant to hold back their emotions. It was Wan Renming who spoke first: "Master Li, I didn't expect you to have no residence in the imperial capital? Sigh, if I had known, I would have sent you off." You have no servants yet, why don't you choose a few from my house?"
The old man was very enthusiastic, apparently he had received the latest news about Wufeng's promotion, but Gong Human Rights was not slow to respond: "Lord Li, since there is a mansion in the imperial capital that His Majesty gave you, I will I don't dare to argue, but my brother said that the house by the Fuqin River in the center of Gusu Prefecture is considered a resting place when you have time to travel to the south of the Yangtze River. The business of Jinling Bank has been so prosperous in the past two years because of the care of your lord. Now the business of the Jinling branch in the four northwestern prefectures is booming every day. My brother has long wanted to visit you, but he has been entangled in trivial matters. No, I have to congratulate you on my behalf." The Fuqin River is a famous scenic spot in Gusu Prefecture In this area, most famous families in the south of the Yangtze River have vacation villas here.
Seeing that Gong Quanquan refused to budge even an inch, and even wanted to suppress him, Wan Renming was even more annoyed, "Hmph, now that Lord Li has just returned to the imperial capital, and the holy family is in full swing, how can there be time to go to that barren village? Lord Li If you don’t dislike it, there is a mansion on Xihe Avenue, the old man, although it is not as spacious as the one bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, but it is also quiet, why don’t you stay there first, what do you think, my lord?” Xihe Avenue is also a well-known residence of wealthy families in the southern part of the imperial capital The area is known as every inch of land, and Wan Renming's investment can be said to be reluctant.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Wufeng had to stop and make a decision: "You two, see if this works. I just want to buy two slaves today, and I will talk about other things later, okay?"
Seeing Wufeng's uneasy expression, the two finally stopped their quarrel and stopped talking.
Wufeng has completely lost interest in visiting the slave market. With these two people in front of him, I am afraid that it is rare for him to be quiet. There are a lot of personal matters that need to be dealt with urgently. I also know the purpose of the two of you. It's just that Northern Luzon entered the empire, and I only stayed there for less than a month. Many things are still unclear, so I can't talk about any new policies. However, I assure you that North Luzon definitely needs development and construction, and it also needs to introduce financial institutions to support it. I think there will be news from North Luzon in two days. Since you are so enthusiastic, I will Think about it, how about I invite two more at that time?"
The two waited eagerly for Wufeng to finish speaking, and finally a stone fell from their hearts.
North Luzon is rich in resources and products, especially local products, but its economy is relatively backward. Opportunity, the profit obtained is by no means a small number. At this time, getting the promise of the new governor of the Northern Luzon region of the empire is like being on a lifeline, and I feel much more at ease. Of course, it will take a lot of hard work in the later stage. I am afraid that this news will spread throughout the upper class of the imperial capital tonight. There are definitely not a few people who want to make plans in this regard, but I have already taken the lead, so I am more calm.
The two exchanged glances, knowing that staying would only increase Wufeng's unhappiness, and worried that he would leave each other to stay, and finally Gong Quan said: "Since that is the case, Boss Wan and I will not bother you, sir. But tomorrow morning, I must visit the mansion."
Wan Renming also quickly picked up the conversation, afraid of falling behind: "Yes, yes, my lord, you are tired and busy with business, so Brother Gong and I will not delay you. You must give me and Brother Gong tomorrow at noon. A thin noodle, let us catch the wind for you."
Gong Quanquan nodded again and again, and in a blink of an eye, the two formed an alliance and invited Wufeng together.
Seeing that the eyes of the two of them were on his face, he knew that if he did not agree, he might not know how long he would be tossed by the two of them, so he reluctantly accepted the invitation of the two of them, and the two of them left happily.
After driving away the two of them, Wufeng breathed a sigh of relief and finally calmed down, but who will lead the way for him? When I was in trouble, a crisp voice came from the side: "Sir, do you need me to help you?"
Wufeng turned his head and saw a little boy shyly asked three meters away from him. Since the guards were protecting Wufeng in a wing shape, it was difficult for the little boy to get close, so he had to stay a few meters away.
"Hey, what can you do for me?" Wufeng was very interested and asked with a smile.
"I don't think you are familiar with this place. You definitely need a guide to guide you, don't you think so?" The little boy was about eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin, sea-blue eyes, and black hair. Apparently a mixed race.
The population of the imperial capital is more than five million, and there are many nationalities and races from all over the mainland, and the number of Caucasians is not small. At that time, when the Tanghe Empire was established, two of the five major families that helped the Situ family conquer the country caucasian.
Seeing Wufeng's kind attitude, the boy became more courageous.
"Well, I do need a guide, but are you competent?" Wufeng replied with a smile.
"You look down on me too much. I, little Willie, grew up in the imperial capital. Which streets and alleys in the imperial capital are I not familiar with? Is there any major event that happens every day in the imperial capital that I don't know? Sir, you hire me Definitely a wise choice!" The little boy blushed, obviously a little excited.
"Oh, your name is Willie?" Wufeng asked with a smile.
"Well, my name is Willie Brook, have you agreed to hire me?" the little boy asked excitedly.
"Well, how about your salary?" Wufeng thought this little boy was cute, and the two daughters, Qin and Gu, beside him also thought this little boy was quite cute, and they all looked at Wufeng with smiles, hoping He can agree.
"Sir, I think you are all foreigners, and you will probably stay in the imperial capital for a while. You only need to pay me one silver coin per day. If you hire me for one month, you can pay me two gold coins and five gold coins." One silver coin is enough." The little boy looked forward to it, making it hard to refuse.
Smiling and nodding, Wufeng said: "Okay, I'll hire you, three gold coins a month, but you have to work hard, if I'm not satisfied, I can fire you at any time."
"Sir, don't worry, you are satisfied." The little boy jumped up happily.
"Then let's go, you lead the way, show us around this market, see if there is any suitable one, I want to buy some slaves as servants." Wufeng signaled Song Tianxiong next to him to bring the little boy, Song Tianxiong Gently stretching the ape's arms, he lifted the little boy onto the horse.
The little boy was both surprised and happy, and touched the mane of the steed under him enviously, "Sir, what should I call you?"
"You should be called Lord Duke." Song Tianxiong continued. The news that Wufeng was promoted to Duke and concurrently served as Governor of Northern Luzon made the whole group very happy. Qin Shuangying, Gu Yunxia and Gu Dengyun were all secretly happy, thinking of their respective How can you not be happy if all the sects can expand their influence.
The little boy's complexion changed, and he looked around quickly, "Sir, this title of nobleman cannot be faked. If someone discovers it as a fake, it will be a crime of beheading."
"Haha, who needs to pretend? You little guy, it's really interesting. Our Lord Li is an upright first-class duke of the empire, so do we need to pretend?" Song Tianxiong laughed, urging his horse forward.
The little boy looked suspiciously at Wufeng. Wufeng had already changed his court clothes and was dressed in casual clothes. He really didn't see anything unusual, but seeing that Song Tianxiong didn't seem to be joking, he had no choice but to nod.
"I don't know what kind of slave your lord wants to buy?" This little guy seems to be very familiar with this slave from time to time.
"Oh? Is there anything special about this?" Wufeng asked with a smile.
"Of course. If you want to buy slaves for rough manual labor, you have to go to Fei's firm over there to buy them. Then Uncle Fei has good friends with the officials in Kansai, and the powerful and healthy Gao Yue barbarian is often killed. The price is fair here; if you want to buy slaves who can read and understand the rules, you have to go to the southern trading houses over there, most of the slaves there are from the Jiangnan and Five Lakes areas, but the price is more expensive." Serena Wei Leigh was right.
"What else?" Wufeng wanted to test him.
"There is also the Sihai Tower in the east, where the female slaves are particularly famous, whether they are white people from the Central and Western mainland, yellow people from the south of the Yangtze River, or mixed-race slaves, there are all kinds of slaves, and they are all beautiful and charming. Many wealthy families and brothels like to choose here. It’s just that the price here is not affordable by ordinary people. There is also Fair Square in the west, which is the largest one in the imperial capital. It is run by imperial officials. The family members of officials are dealt with here, and prisoners of war are often traded here. The slaves inside are complex, with uneven quality and different prices. If there is an opportunity, you can buy high-quality slaves with only a small amount of money. "Little Willie intentionally showed off what he knew, and spoke happily.
Wufeng didn't answer for a while, he was aroused, Di Leina was probably sold into the brothel here~IndoMTL.com~ If she hadn't met herself, her fate might still be bleak. Although this kind of system is quite disgusting, its existence must have its own reasons. Didn't I completely abolish this ugly phenomenon in the Northwest and even North Luzon? Far from being repealed, it is comical that it has to be properly protected.
Seeing that Wufeng didn't make a sound, the little guy didn't continue talking because he was interested, and a group of people wandered silently in the market. After a while, Wufeng retracted his thoughts.
"Oh, I just want to buy a few servants in my house, such as watching the door, serving tea and pouring water, cleaning and other chores, and I also want to buy a few maids who have read books. Those who can read and write are better." Wu Feng said his request.
"It's not easy, so go to the Southern Company, where the supply is abundant and the price is fair." Little Willie suggested.
A group of people went straight to the depths of the market under the leadership of Little Willy. The little guy was like a seasoned horse. The planks all looked old, showing how old the business was.
"Hey, it's Little Willy, long time no see." Seeing the little boy bring in several buyers, the servant at the door greeted the little boy warmly.
"Second brother Zhang, go and call your shopkeeper. Today, these few are all dignitaries with status." The little boy seemed familiar with this place, and he seemed very casual, but he still didn't dare to say Wufeng His duke status is only vaguely said to be a nobleman. Because he really couldn't believe that a person of Wufeng's age would have the title of duke. If he was an earl and viscount, no one would believe it if he said he was a duke. He didn't want to lose an opportunity to make money because of this.
