The bustling slave market is bustling with activity in front of slave shops. Slave merchants are constantly auctioning off the slaves they have on hand.
People in the Beijing-Tianjin area are rich and have the strongest spending power in the Ming Dynasty.
Slave merchants know this very well, so the slaves that can come to the capital are basically of the highest quality, and ordinary goods cannot be obtained or sold at all.
??The big men in the capital are very picky. Even if they buy them to be used as maids, they must be pleasing to their eyes, otherwise they will lose their appearance. As for those who want to go home as concubines to warm the quilt and give birth to babies, the requirements are even higher.
Lao Li Tou took his son interest and walked inside. He didn't even bother to look at the slave shops on both sides. The goods here were all ordinary goods, and they were basically second-hand goods.
¡°Old Li¡¯s family wants to continue the family lineage and spread its branches, so naturally they still have to buy first-hand original products.
"Dad~"
Li Xi was very resistant. He actually didn't want to take a concubine. He had a deep relationship with Sun and didn't want to see Sun suffer any injustice. However, he didn't dare to go against what Old Li Tou said. Where is my father?
Soon, Lao Litou and Li Xi came to a building with the logo of Black Sea Trading Company hanging on it. It was obvious that this was the direct-operated store of Black Sea Trading Company in the capital. At this time baolaixsw.c om Zhang Si
The Black Sea Trading Company, the largest slave trading firm on the Black Sea, does all kinds of business, but its main business is buying and selling slaves, from Crimean Tatars, Ottomans, Eastern European Hungarians, Mediterranean Italians, Venetians They bought slaves and then sold them to various parts of the Ming Dynasty, making huge profits from them.
Especially the sale of female white slaves is extremely profitable. A dozen taels of silver is enough to buy a slave. If it is sold to the Ming Dynasty, it can be sold for forty or fifty taels of silver. .
If the slave is good-looking and tall, the price will be even higher. Hundreds or thousands of taels of silver are also available. Rich families and brothels are willing to spend a lot of money. As long as they have good goods in their hands, the money will roll in. Come.
The slave shop of Black Sea Trading Company is different from other slave shops. The goods sold here are all of the highest quality, and many of the people who come to buy slaves are respectable people.
No matter whether the purchased slave is used as a maid or to warm the bed, naturally it cannot be displayed naked on the exhibition stand. Otherwise, if a child is born, it will be humiliated.
So here, everything looks much more civilized, and the slaves are all wearing nice clothes, some are wearing clothes from the Ming Dynasty, and some are wearing clothes from their respective ethnic groups, and some are even taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have A certain amount of education taught them the language, customs and habits of the Ming Dynasty, etc.
Of course, Black Sea Commercial Bank has invested so much, so it naturally has to pay back. Any slave here is worth hundreds of taels of silver, some of them are worth hundreds of taels of silver, and the top ones are worth thousands of taels of silver.
"Two gentlemen, please come in~"
As soon as Lao Li Tou and Li Xi entered the store, they were immediately warmly received by the waiters and brought into a private box. Good tea and water were served, and soon someone dressed as a steward walked in.
"I, Luo Qingyun, am one of the stewards of our store. I am very happy to serve these two gentlemen."
With a smile on his face, Luo Qingyun immediately sat down on a chair nearby and began to ask Lao Li Tou and Li Xi their needs in detail.
"You said he only has two sons. Isn't that too few?"
"Lao Wangtou next door has more than a dozen wives and concubines at home, and he has given birth to more than a dozen sons and more than a dozen daughters. This is how he looks. More children means more blessings, how wonderful it is."
"Old Li Tou is a straightforward person. Luo Qingyun asked him casually and he would tell the truth.
"Yes, yes, the old gentleman is right~"
"My people in the Ming Dynasty pay attention to the inheritance of incense. The more children, the better. The branches and leaves will bloom, the incense will last, and the family will be prosperous. Only in this way can there be a large number of talents."
Luo Qingyun agreed with a smile.
"Many of the people who come to our store come here to pass on the incense to their families. Those white slaves have big butts that are easy to give birth to, and they are all tall. The children born from them are also very strong. Now we have them in the capital. It¡¯s a lot.¡±
"I'll keep it safe to find some good stuff for you to satisfy you."
¡°Okay, we only want good original goods, don¡¯t give us second-hand junk.¡±
"Money is not a problem, if you have good stuff, just show it off."
Li Xi didn¡¯t say anything, but Old Li Tou spoke directly.
"Okay~"
 From high-end goods to low-end goods, the slave resources in the hands of Ningguo Trading Company are also extremely rich. Relying on the slave trade, King Ning is also the richest among many overseas vassal kings.
"Sell~sell~"
When Luo Qingyun heard this, he quickly stood up and shouted.
However, he still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "We really don't make any money from this transaction, so we just treat it as a friend. If you still need it in the future, you can come directly to me, Luo Qingyun, and I will give you a cheaper price then." Some."
"Who believes you? It's just three women. They were sold for five hundred taels of silver. You don't know how much you made."
When Lao Li heard this, he immediately looked in disbelief.
Then he looked at Li Xi and said, "Pay the money and leave."
"Or do you want to continue taking a look."
"Oh, okay, okay~"
When Li Xi heard this, he immediately took out the banknotes from his pocket. He took out five banknotes worth one hundred taels each without even blinking.
"Thank you~Thank you~"
"I wish Mr. Li a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren, and may he have a son soon~"
Luo Qingyun held the banknote in his hand with a smile on his face and sent his blessings again and again. This time m*iaoshuyuan .com* Zhang Si
Immediately, he ordered someone to bring three slave deeds, handed them to Li Xi respectfully and said, "These are slave deeds. Please keep them. Don't throw these things away, otherwise it will be troublesome for the government to investigate."
Then he said to the three slaves Li Xi bought: "You three will be members of Mr. Li's family from now on. Serve Mr. Li well, so that you can live a good life." Zhida org.com Zhixiao
"Yes~"
"I've seen the old man ~ I've met the old man"
When the three of them heard this, they also bowed obediently
