The human market is a human market, a place dedicated to selling slaves. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, slavery had gradually disintegrated. With the Qin Empire unifying the world, the feudal system came into being. However, the slavery system died, but the slaves did not disappear. , and it will never disappear!
If the bustling commercial street is paradise, the gloomy slave market is hell. The two live next to each other and echo each other from a distance. They jointly support the huge city of Xuchang. It also corresponds to the famous saying: heaven and hell are only one step away!
¡°Ah!-Ah!¡ª¡ªOh God!-Help!¡±
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
A hundred steps away from the crowd, I could faintly hear screams. They came one after another, and they were not human voices. There was also a bloody and stinking smell that kept rushing into the nose, but it did not make people sick, but rather enticing. Have a strong desire!
The situation in the market was even more tragic. Kind-hearted and timid people would definitely be scared to death when they came here. Even though Xiao Yi had experienced hundreds of battles and his hands were full of blood, he couldn't help but frown and secretly cursed the evil slavery system. !
Wherever you look, there are slaves waiting to be sold. There are young girls, young laborers, and ignorant children. You can even find blond barbarians, barbarians covered with tattoos, and short Japanese Arrived!
The slaves were naked and in shackles, their eyes were dull and lifeless, they had grass tags on their heads, and signs on their chests, which stated their origins, age, specialties, priceswhether they were virgins, whether they had given birth, etc.!
Some overseers wearing black clothes and leather boots were walking around to check, constantly beating the sluggish slaves with barbed whips and making them jump back and forth to show their health and attract more buyers!
There is a row of tall poles standing in the distance, on which hang several bloody, non-human slaves. Their wounds have festered, and they are surrounded by green bean flies. They were slaves who tried to escape and were caught again for public display!
There are many tourists in the market, but there is no sound of bargaining. After taking a fancy to the slave, they will find the responsible overseer. Both parties will reach out and scratch in their sleeves, just like buying and selling livestock. If the price is right, the transaction will be completed, and there is often an additional price. Woolen cloth!
The price of slaves is very cheap, and they don't even use money, but are exchanged for people. Xiao Yi saw it with his own eyes. Someone bought two young female slaves, and the price he paid was only a small black donkey, plus ten kilograms of bean cakes. !
"Roar! Roar!¡ª¡ªWoo-hoo!¡ª¡ªChirp!"
In addition to slaves, there are also lions, tigers, leopards, black bears, peacocks, flying dragons and several elephants, all in sturdy cages, making various roars from time to time, which is dazzling and amazing at the same time. With the abilities of businessmen, as long as there is enough profit, these guys can do anything!
There are three main sources of slaves: First, officials who have violated national laws are often demoted to slaves by their families after they are beheaded. Therefore, in the slave market, we often see some extremely beautiful ladies who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as those with fine skin and tender meat. Young Master!
The former is lucky and becomes a concubine of a wealthy family, but the unlucky can only live in a brothel and become a tool to make money. The fate of the latter is even more tragic. Some people with good fortune are willing to spend a lot of money. They buy pink boys at high prices and then go back to beat, scold, and play with them for fun, and there are many who are ravaged to death!
The second is the prisoners in the war. Cao's army conquered a city in the north and south, and captured a large number of prisoners. The strong ones replenished the troops, and the rest were sent to the slave market to sell them for money to use as military pay!
This method may seem cruel, but it is the only way to support war through war. Otherwise, Cao Ying's financial resources would have been exhausted long ago. How could he have the strength to fight everywhere? Besides, selling prisoners as slaves is better than trapping and killing them all, right?
The third is the captured savages. After years of fighting, ten houses were empty, and the people were hiding in the mountains. In some places, the tyrants led people and horses into the mountains. When they encountered the savages, they knocked them down with a stick, tied them up and sold them to the slave market. The government did not stop them, but instead Secretly encouraging it as a good way to increase population!
Ma Chao commanded tens of thousands of troops to march westward. They have already crossed the Congling area and conquered more than ten countries in the Western Region. All the men were killed, and the women and children were sold into slavery. The number of slaves sent back every year was at least 200,000!
"The slave trade is bloody, ugly, and extremely inhumane, but Xiao Yi doesn't want to change it, or is unable to change it. Social development has its own rules, and even if he travels through a clan, it is difficult to change the direction!
As a saint, Confucius offended the dignitaries of the Lu State in order to save a young slave, Qi Sigong. In the end, he was forced to leave his country and was not allowed to return to his country for more than ten years. He almost died on the way!
"If Xiao Yi steps forward and raises the banner of 'abolition of slavery', he will definitely offend the civil and military officials of the court and the world."??!
Now the auction has begun. Groups of four will not be separated. The base price is four hundred taels of gold. Please increase your bid. Both silver and gold are common. Treasures, livestock, and spices can also be priced on the spot. Please do not ask for credit! "
After Xiao Jindou came on stage, he first bowed and saluted in all directions, and then introduced the 'goods' on the stage. He spoke eloquently and clearly without losing his sense of humor, coupled with his funny actions. If it were two thousand years later, he would be the first-class host!
At the same time, the four girls twisted their bodies and actually danced on the stage, showing their most beautiful side. They wanted to sell it at a good price and find a good owner. If they were spotted by a certain noble man, they would buy it. If you go back as a concubine, you will reach the sky in one step!
"Five hundred taels of gold, I bought them back, let's taste them one by one tonight - haha!"
"Eight hundred taels of gold, the young master redeemed their lives for them. Adding fragrance to red sleeves is an elegant thing. What does a rich country man know!"
"IahemI offer you a thousand taels of gold to restore their freedom. Treating such a beautiful woman as a commodity is a waste of money!"
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Under the temptation of beauties, people became crazy, and bids came and went. After a fierce competition, a fat-bellied wealthy businessman from Xuzhou won four beauties at the price of two thousand taels of gold!
"Xuzhou has benefited from refined salt, and the wealthy merchants are richest in the world. They should impose some additional business taxes and hammer them a few times to let them concentrate on making money and not interfere with court affairs!"
In the VIP room, Xiao Yi looked at the fierce competition outside with a sneer. Whether he was competing for the throne or raising an army to rebel, he could not do without three things: money, food, and soldiers. Starting from these aspects, there must be surprises. reward!
