??Here at the Slave Market in the Western Capital City of the Western Regions, as the convoys of the Ming Dynasty Logistics Support Firm continued to arrive at the slave market, the entire slave market immediately became extremely noisy and lively.
It has been deserted for nearly half a year. The well-informed slave merchants have already prepared their banknotes and are waiting here, preparing to select the best goods and then sell them to various places in the Ming Dynasty at home and abroad, making a lot of money from them.
The slave trade is a very profitable business.
Generally speaking, there are two modes of slave trading. One is to buy slaves from other people, then resell them. This kind of slave merchants generally make profit from the middle price difference, scale up, and have fixed purchase and sales channels.
Another kind is to directly join a slave-catching team to capture slaves and then sell them. This kind of slave traders are generally active in Tianzhu and the African continent.
This kind of slave traders are those who eat at the edge of the knife. They are ruthless people. They have a group of brothers following them. They do business without capital. If they catch an adult slave, they can sell it for thirty or forty taels of silver, and the profit is quite considerable. It is considerable, but it faces resistance from the locals.
There are two types of slave merchants, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The slave merchants active in the Western Region and the Hezhong region are all the former. They do not capture slaves themselves, but purchase slaves from others and then sell them to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Logistics Support Firm is everyone¡¯s main source of slaves, because the Ming Logistics Support Firm is responsible for providing logistic support services to the Ming army.
The slaves captured by the Ming army were all sold by the Ming Logistics Support Firm, and a commission was given based on a certain proportion of the money obtained.
"They are all women and children, what's going on?"
"Have all the men been killed by my Ming Dynasty's cavalry?"
Seeing the women and children inside the four-wheeled carriages, the slave merchant shook his head in dissatisfaction.
Everyone is still thinking about the feast last winter.
The Ming Dynasty's army swept across the Western Region and the Hezhong area, and captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners alone. These hundreds of thousands, even if a slave is worth thirty taels of silver, that is several million taels of silver. Many people present The slave traders all got their own piece of cake.
"I heard that this time the Duke of Australia ordered that all men taller than the wheel be killed, so only women and children were left."
"As long as you have slaves, it's all business anyway. The highs come and go, the lows go. It's better to make something with something than nothing."
"That's right~"
Many slave merchants discussed with each other, and then looked carefully among the four-wheeled carriages, hoping to find good goods.
Slave trading is not a simple job, especially when it comes to women and children. It tests your eyesight. If you buy a beautiful woman, you may be able to sell a woman for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver. Then This is something that has happened before.
There are also some good seedlings among these children. Find those beautiful children, raise them for a few years, train them well, and send them to brothels or other places. They can also become money-making signs. In short, they are all Something that really tests your eyesight.
"Hmm~ There are two good cars here, you can bid on them!"
"There are also good things in this car No. 36."
Slave merchant Zhou Yin carefully looked at the women and children inside the four-wheeled carriages, and silently remembered the slaves he wanted to bid for.
The method of buying and selling slaves at the Ming Dynasty Logistics and Support Firm is very simple and crude, that is, it uses bidding, and all the slaves in a four-wheeled carriage are bid at one time, instead of bidding on each slave.
??This is something that all slave traders know very well.
¡°Dang~dang~¡±
Along with the sound of gongs and drums, a man walked up to a high platform holding a tin trumpet.
"Everyone, everyone, I, Wang Yue, a logistics support firm in the Ming Dynasty, are in charge of this slave auction. I won't go into too much nonsense. The old rules are still the same. Slaves in four-wheeled carriages bid in units, and the one with the highest price wins. "
"This time our Great Tomorrow Army swept across the Great Yuzi Grassland of the Kazakh Khanate. Wherever it went, it was invincible and unstoppable. It was also full of gains and gained a large number of women and children."
"The number of women and children in each four-wheeled carriage is about thirty, some one or two more, some one or two less. Each unit starts with five hundred taels of silver."
? ??It can also be regarded as a kind of benevolence.
"Thank you~Thank you~"
Li Guaizi soon learned the result, thanked him profusely, and then went through the relevant procedures. After paying the part of the money he wanted to pay, the two women from the Western Regions and their child were considered Li Guaizi's personal slaves. .
"You two, come with me."
Li Guaizi pointed at the two women he bought and said.
Mayila hugged her woman and Elena next to her and looked at each other. Although she didn't understand Li Guaizi's words, she could understand what he meant.
The two of them watched Li Guaizi limping towards an open space. In this open space, Li Guaizi's fellow villagers had bought a wife and were waiting to go back together.
The two hesitated for a moment, but still had to follow.
As women, they have no choice.
What¡¯s more, this has been the case on the grasslands since ancient times. War on the grasslands is extremely cruel, and it is common for women to die of their husbands.
Sometimes, your husband may not be dead, but a woman is kidnapped and has to be the wife of another man. This is a very natural and common thing.
The people of the Ming Dynasty swept across the Dayuzi grassland, killed their men, and captured them. This was the same as what happened on the grassland in the past, and there was no difference.
Therefore, it was nothing to them to be Li Guaizi's mother-in-law. They naturally accepted this. Women on the grasslands are different from women in the Central Plains.
They don¡¯t care about loyalty. They only obey the strong. This has been the case on the grassland since ancient times.
"Brother kidnapper~"
Zhang Gaizi walked over with two women who were much taller than him, his face full of excitement.
He has always been ashamed of his height. He has been bullied and ridiculed many times since he was a child. He dreams of marrying a tall woman so that the children he gives birth to will not be tall. If you are short, you will not be bullied or laughed at.
Now this wish has come true, and there are two of them at once, which makes him smile from ear to ear. It is really right to immigrate to the Western Region.
"Haha, you kid can do it. If you choose two tall ones, the children born from this will definitely be tall as well."
Li Guaizi looked at the two women behind Zhang Chaozi, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
