Chapter 544: Corselia
Banquet Hall
The banquet table was filled with fruits, barbecue, desserts and wine, which made the merchant smile, which showed how Prince Paris valued them.
Everyone sat down and Pei Ziyun said, "Everyone, I can provide some convenience for your business in Troy, but I hope that when you introduce local powerful people and commodity prices, the more detailed the better."
"Of course, you have to provide some convenience when my boat docks in your area."
"That's natural." The merchants all promised.
"Come on, toast to celebrate the first cooperation." Pei Ziyun raised his glass and drank it all in one go.
"Dry." The merchants also drank the wine in one go.
Everyone's cooperation has officially begun.
When the banquet ended, Pei Ziyun sent these merchants out of the mansion. Now he is facing the trivialities of sending off. Every time he has to work hard, just have to have a competent person to help him do things.
"I'm really short of people now." Pei Ziyun couldn't help but murmur when he returned to the garden.
Along the way, I bought a lot of slaves, but none of them developed into a handy subordinate. The only one of them was Gusne, and he was still on Amazon and he didn't come back, and there was no one available at once.
Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, the ten new female slaves were rubbing the banquet hall. One of them heard Pei Ziyun's words and mustered up the courage to stand up: "Prince Paris, I am Keselia, my father is an Athenian scholar. I know three languages and arithmetic. I want to do things for you, Prince Paris."
"Huh?" Pei Ziyun was slightly stunned and looked at her.
I searched for this girl named Keselia in my mind. I remember that there was a simple information when the palace was delivered, saying that she was only fourteen years old.
"I knew so many skills at a very young age. I guess I had received a good education from this era before, so why did I become a slave?" Pei Ziyun frowned secretly.
"Prince Paris, Koselia is ignorant, I hope she does not offend you." At this time, the two servants were so scared that their faces were pale when they saw Koselia's performance. They were very afraid that Koselia's actions would annoy Prince Paris, so they came over quickly and wanted to drag her down by force.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. You guys go down and leave Keselia here." Pei Ziyun stopped the actions of the two servants.
"Yes, respected prince." The two servants retreated, and glared at Koselia fiercely, warning her not to speak nonsense, so as not to offend Prince Paris.
Pei Ziyun turned to Ke Sailia: "Ke Sailia, your courage has won you a little chance. I hope you cherish it. Tell me why you have become a slave?"
She is a cute girl with delicate skin and black curly hair, a pair of brown almond eyes, and her limbs are as slender as a deer.
Koselia mustered up the courage: "Prince Paris, although my father is a respected scholar, he is still a Gentile in Athens."
"You should know that this is the rule of most city-states."
"Gentiles are allowed to live in Athens for generations, but they do not have citizenship, they cannot be naturalized as citizens, they cannot purchase land, they cannot marry women in their country, and they must pay a poll tax that does not pay by Athenian citizens, etc."
"How unfair all this is to us Gentiles. Land is the most important thing. Without land, there is no stable income and can only rely entirely on work."
"My father had a job, but later he fell ill, lost his job, and owed a lot of money, and the whole family went bankrupt."
Pei Ziyun knew that Ke Selia was right. Athens did have this regulation, and all Gentiles were not allowed to purchase land locally.
In other words, reproductive assets are not allowed to be owned by Gentiles.
All city-states will instinctively monopolize reproductive assets, so that even the free people of the Gentiles can become slaves at any time, because human labor is too unreliable.
When I was young, I had shallow knowledge and unfamiliar skills and could not make money. I also had to pay tuition fees for both society and study.
When you are old, you will lose your energy and lose your energy, let alone diseases and disasters, so people cannot live by work.
Work is the most beautiful thing, but if it is just work, it is a hidden slave.
This is actually a means of exploiting Gentiles by city-states.
"My father died in the end. I had no choice but to become a slave. Later, I was trafficked to Troy and gave it to you Prince Paris."
Ke Sailia was sadly telling these unbearable past events, which were indeed unbearable for a fourteen-year-old girl.
Pei Ziyun silently listened to her story and thoughtful.
Ke Sailia's experience is not special. She became a slave due to illness or changes, and is very common among slaves.
Of course, the biggest source of slaves in this era was war.
It’s just that Ke Sailia is so coincidental. Although everything she said is fine, she should still be careful. After all, her layout is now at critical moment.
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun said in his heart: "What a priest feel."
After careful observation with the priest's method, I found that the girl in front of me had a natural light and there were not many traces of the gods, which was not as if it were deliberately arranged by the gods.
"Isn't the chess piece of the gods?" Pei Ziyun was a little surprised. He watched Ke Sailia have coincidences and the continuous events, and he would inevitably think about the worst.
"That's right, the gods are above my superiors, and I really don't want to use such methods on me." Pei Ziyun laughed at himself: "Besides, if the gods already know my plan, they will not play with me at all, so they will go down and kill them directly."
Thinking of this, he said to Keselia: "Come with me."
There is a shortage of people in front of me. If Ke Sailia has no problems, she might as well give her a chance.
After passing through the garden and reaching the room, Pei Ziyun sat down and asked solemnly: "Keselia, what do you want from me?"
"I want freedom." Keselia said firmly.
"What a simple and simple pursuit!" Pei Ziyun sighed secretly, shook his head and said lightly: "But this is not an easy thing."
"Koselia, you must understand that even a hardworking and loyal servant will have to redeem twenty years."
"I can achieve this goal in twenty years." Ke Sailia said firmly.
To be honest, Pei Ziyun had seen so many slaves, and no slave could have impressed him more than Ke Sailia.
The girl gave him the feeling that she had a kind of unyielding quality and never gave up until she achieved her goal made him very appreciative.
He sighed and said, "What I want is someone who can do things for me. What can you do?"
"I can do whatever you want me to do." Keselia's answer was still so concise, without a trace of roundabout way.
"That's it." Pei Ziyun sighed repeatedly, looked at Ke Sailia in front of him, and smiled suddenly, saying, "Ke Sailia, I have something you can do now, but I'm not too relieved. It depends on how you do it to determine whether you are suitable."
"Prince Paris, my respected master, tell me, as long as I can do my best."
"Okay, I have three boats now, and I will add them in the future. I need a document that records the goods and is responsible for letters."
"Classic?" Caselia widened her eyes. She really couldn't have imagined that Prince Paris would ask her to do such a thing, which was an important position in the noble family.
"Dear Master, I'm willing to try it." Keselia said.
If it were the real Prince Paris, she would not comfort her at all, but Pei Ziyun saw her uneasy and mentioned: "You know three languages, which can make you communicate well with the outside world. The most important thing is that you master arithmetic. This is the minimum requirement of the document. If you don't know how to arithmetic, then I won't choose you."
"Thank you, my master, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely work hard." Ke Sailia said.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with it, you go down."
"Okay, respectful master." Ke Sailia slowly retreated.
The room was silent, and Pei Ziyun was a little happy, but even if Ke Sailia was suitable, she would not tell her the secret, in fact, she didn't have to tell her.
Merchants throughout Greece, commuting goods and letters, handling their documents, were more than enough.
"The most important thing next is that when I set off for a mission to Greece, I could visit the city-states passing by one by one along the sea route, so I finalized the route and contact person."
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun suddenly had a thought and shouted: "System!"
With the call, a plum blossom appears in front of you and quickly enlarges, turning into a translucent data box, floating in the field of view with a faint sense of light, and data appears in front of you.
"Hero Bloodline: Second Level (85.3%)"
After looking at the space, I saw that in the space, two iron statues stood between the two colonnades. Although there was still a trace of force being stripped out, there was not much left.
"The power needed in the third level is insufficient, a monster is no longer enough."
"When you go there to find new monsters? You have to be a monster that is relatively close to the bloodline of the gods!"
"It seems that we have to seek strength in reputation."
"And reputation has a chance."
"I can tell the king that when I go on a mission to Greece, I visit various city-states along the way, and even if I cannot win allies, I can still strive for neutrality. Although I know it is useless, the king does not know what will happen in the future, and he will think that this can be implemented."
"In this way, I can use the king's gold to sweep all over Greece. Although my reputation has been relatively slow, when I reach Sparta, I can at least be promoted to the third level!"
"The process can be laid out, it's really a three-killing victory."
