Chapter 542 Slave Market
Chapter 542 Slave Market
"I'm a scoundrel"
"I'm a scoundrel"
"I'm a scoundrel"
In the mountains and forests, a dirty girl sat on a thousand-year-old tree.
The girl kept muttering something.
Under the branches, there are a large number of wild animals.
These wild beasts are of various species, and judging from their shapes, they all seem to be surrendering to the girls on the tree.
There is even a white-headed tiger with a hanging eye.
But there was a whole circle of wolves around the white tiger, and each wolf stared at it.
Under the huge number gap, even if the white tiger is reluctant, it can only show its loyalty.
"Sad! Sorry!"
At this time, a girl with orange-red hair, used her limbs, ran to the bottom of the tree and shouted excitedly at the girl on the tree.
"Xiaoju, do you think I'm a disaster?"
The girl looked at the orange-red hair and said lightly.
"Sad! Sorry!"
Xiaoju seemed to be able to say this word, and she was very excited.
"Hmph, it seems that I might be a disaster."
"From today, my name is - scourge."
The girl named scourge swept over the beasts and roared in a strange tone.
This roar evoked the response of all the beasts.
Judging from their reactions, the disaster is the veritable king of the mountains and forests.
...
Muchuan did not delay along the way, and soon arrived at the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
Along the way, Mu Chuan also realized how backward and chaotic the northwest region of the Tang Dynasty was.
However, compared with the border, all this is a big mistake.
A town was built on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo to provide shopping and rest for merchants.
The town doesn't even have a name, and the people coming and going just call it a town.
When Muchuan first arrived here, he also felt quite strange.
In such a huge town, there is not even a plaque.
But Mu Chuan didn't think much about it and just entered the city directly.
More than 70% of the Tubo area are deserts, and Muchuan is about to enter Tubo, so naturally we have to take precautions.
Even with slot motorcycles, they are not available in the desert.
After all, slot motorcycles are heavy motorcycles, not off-road motorcycles, and they do not have the performance of rushing in the desert.
In short, Mu Chuan has a lot to do when entering the city this time.
First, you have to hire some entourages to carry luggage and feed camels. Yes, you have to buy a certain number of camels.
After all, people are in the desert, and they will not be able to walk for a long time, and they must be helped by camels.
Secondly, it is to buy a large amount of supplies, among which water and dry food are the most important.
Of course, a guide for mergers and translation is also indispensable.
With the idea of completing these things, Mu Chuan's actions are also very purposeful.
At the first stop, Mu Chuan went to the slave market.
Tubo is a slave kingdom, and slave transactions here are legal.
Although this city is located on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, it also follows the habits of the Tubo people and has a slave market.
This is the first time Mu Chuan has come to a large-scale slave market, and he is quite curious.
The slave market is located in a very remote place. Although it is in the city, it cannot feel the smell of fireworks in the city at all.
As soon as he stepped into the market gate, Mu Chuan couldn't help but frown.
Very bad smell.
Muchuan is not unfamiliar with this taste. When I was in Qianzhou before, the dungeon under the stronghold of Li Chengdao was like this, and it smelled even more unpleasant.
Mu Chuan's appearance soon attracted the attention of interested people.
After all, Mu Chuan is dressed in luxurious clothes and looks like he is not an ordinary person, but definitely a big customer.
A vulgar man came up, spoke a stubborn Chinese, and said flatteringly at Mu Chuan: "Mr., are you buying a bitter slave or a happy slave?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Chuan couldn't help but be surprised.
"A bitter slave?
Lenu?"
This term was the first time Mu Chuan heard of it, so he asked questions.
The vulgar man saw Mu Chuan's confusion and quickly explained.
After hearing this, Mu Chuan understood the difference between the two.
The so-called bitter slave is a slave who works for coolies. It is generally extremely cheap and looks unbearable.
After all, the bitter slaves are used to do hard work, just like buying a donkey, as long as they have strength.
As for Lenu, it is used to please the owner. Depending on the quality, the price can be high or low.
The wretched man also revealed a message to Mu Chuan.
In addition to these two types of slaves, there are also animal slaves.
The animal slaves are very old or very young slaves, and are usually men. After all, any female slave can be arranged into the category of Lesubs.
The animal slaves are constantly useful and the prices are outrageously low. At the same weight, a animal slave is not even worth a chicken or duck.
The only function of animal slaves is to act as emergency rations.
Mu Chuan's face was also quite ugly.
This Tubo is really too barbaric.
Although similar cannibalism was not a rare thing in ancient times, it was really disgusting to take it out and sell it as a commodity.
"Take me to see the bitter slave."
Mu Chuan said lightly.
He needs to carry luggage, so he is naturally the best use for a slave.
The vulgar man nodded repeatedly and smiled, "Master, then are you good or ordinary?"
The bitter slaves are also divided into good or bad. Good bitter slaves look decent, but the bad ones are just numb.
Mu Chuan is not a shortage of money, so he naturally requires good things.
Soon, the wretched man took Mu Chuan to a shack.
The slave market looks a bit like the future slaughter market, with shacks separated everywhere, filled with different slaves.
Mu Chuan felt very sad when he looked over all the way.
Slavery society is really not something that humans live.
Compared with Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was really the same as the kingdom of heaven.
There are a large number of slaves in this shack, and all of them are male, not even a woman.
Seeing Mu Chuan approaching, all these bitter slaves looked at Mu Chuan secretly, except for fear, all in their eyes were numb.
"Uncle, please look at it."
Mu Chuan nodded and picked a few who could speak Chinese.
After picking seven or eight, Mu Chuan didn't bargain and bought them all in one go.
The price is indeed quite low. These seven or eight bitter slaves combined only cost fifty taels of silver.
In other words, a bitter slave is less than ten taels of silver, and this is still a high-priced bitter slave. If it is a low-priced one, it may be cheaper.
Mu Chuan couldn't help but wonder, how cheap should animal slaves be?
For big customers like Mu Chuan, the wretched man is also quite enthusiastic.
After Muchuan bought the bitter slave, the wretched man recommended the Lenu at the right time.
Kunu and others don’t have much oil and water, Lenu’s oil and water is quite good, and the wretched man naturally hopes that Muchuan can spend a lot.
