After adding Fan Lie, there are only 32 slaves in total.
With only such a small number of people, it is natural that they cannot meet the needs of Yang Dongli and others; according to their plan, the first batch of slaves under their command should number between one hundred and one hundred and fifty people.
At most, it cannot exceed one hundred and eighty people.
Because if there are more, it's not that they can't afford it, it's just that they can't control it with their manpower.
So in the following time, the businessmen here in Xicheng were pleasantly surprised to find that today they met a group of high-rollers with Chinese-style bald heads.
The money is not used as money at all, or in other words, it is used as gems and stones.
Because in the following period, although Yang Dongli and others did not sweep away the entire market, all the slaves were swept away; and based on the principle of people from each tribe, only a part was purchased, no more than 40 people.
But he also bought almost all the strongest slaves in the entire market.
A total of 137 slaves were gathered as combat personnel, and 6 rough-handed and thick-footed Hu women were used as logistics personnel. This was the end of the war.
It's a pity that the process of purchasing craftsmen was not very smooth. Leatherworkers who can make leather armor, as well as other carpenters, stonemasons, and carpenters are all fine.
Soon I bought several of various kinds, adding up to a total of 13 people.
But bronze craftsmen who can smelt and make weapons are extremely high-end talents for the people of the Western Regions of this era.
After wandering around the whole market, Yang Dongli bought two old craftsmen who didn't look good at high prices.
How high is the price? Only two people bought three glass beads, which shows how precious they are.
As for the plan they had made before, Yang Dongli and the others couldn't just have people now. They had to arm these people.
And in the next time, they need to find a place to start training them, brutalize their bodies, regulate their spirits, and let them improve their combat effectiveness quickly.
In this way, it involves people eating the food chewed by the horses, as well as various consumables such as tents.
As well as the various tools of the craftsmen, anyway, the types and quantities of materials they need to purchase are too many places to go.
So in the following time, Yang Dongli and the others began to go shopping like crazy.
We bought a lot of weapons, armor, horses, food, cloth, tents, etc. In order to hold these supplies, we even bought twenty-one carriages and stopped after they were full.
In such a procurement process, some unexpected results were achieved.
When those slaves were first purchased, the expressions that Yang Dongli and others could see on their faces were like zombies without souls and thoughts.
But after a large amount of supplies were loaded onto the carriage one by one.
Their expressions have changed from the initial zombie to numbness, with a faint hint of smile and peace of mind.
Because Yang Dongli and the others at least used their actions to prove that their new masters have strong financial resources and can keep them full.
The premise is that their hosts are generous enough.
And for purchasing such a large number of things, the specific payment method was of course the glass beads that Huang Yizhi successfully brought over from the modern plane.
As for those glass handicrafts, there is no need to take them out at all.
After buying so many slaves, war horses, and so many food and supplies, Huang Yizhi only paid for a total of 67 glass beads, which was about a quarter of the glass beads.
And because not every purchase can be counted with complete beads.
Those merchants' behavior was similar to giving change, but Huang Yizhi suddenly had more than three kilograms of gold in his hands.
Looking at the merchants in the market, they looked as if they had just collectively slaughtered a big fat sheep, with such joyful expressions.
For a time, Yang Dongli, Huang Yizhi, Fengrui, Lang Qing and other ten netizens from the modern dimension had various emotions intertwined in their hearts, which was quite exciting.
Damn it! Such an outrageous transaction actually achieved the legendary win-win situation.
*******
It was about two o'clock in the afternoon when I was busy. This time, Xicheng, the capital of Khotan, was considered to be a very large purchase in ten years.
Finally, after all 21 carriages were filled, it was over.
Without thinking about staying in the city longer, Yang Dongli greeted other netizens, led the team that suddenly expanded a lot, and headed straight to the west after leaving the city.
Basically, there was no hesitation or pause in the middle.
Even if many businessmen warmly invite them, these bald rich men can stay one night and let them entertain them well.
On the way out of the city, I bought a lot of Hu biscuits and cooked beef and mutton.
About half of it was used as today's lunch and distributed to the 158 male and female slaves we had just purchased.
By the way! When Fan Lie received two biscuits and a fist-sized piece of beef, he almost cried with excitement and made up his mind to offer his greatest loyalty to these new Han masters from now on.
Not only were they two biscuits, they were already his food for the past two days.
It's because he has forgotten the last time he ate meat.
The main reason is that despite the fact that many nomadic tribes in the Western Regions raise a large number of cattle and sheep, it is as if they eat beef and mutton every day.
In fact, their daily use was only dairy products and grain traded from cattle and sheep.
Except for the leader, who is in better condition, it often takes a long time for other ordinary tribe members to have such a meal of beef and mutton, let alone a herdsman like Fan Lie.
After being sold to the small Wusun tribe, for almost ten years, he ate meat more times than he could count on the fingers of one hand.
As for other slaves, although their situation is better than Fan Lie.
But while he was easily controlling the horse and stuffing food into his mouth, he even had a relaxed smile on his face.
But what they didn't know was that if they weren't worried about choking to death if they ate too much at one time, Yang Dongli and the others would be able to pass out all the food.
Mainly because it feels like using glass beads to be a wealthy man, which is really a bit satisfying.
As for why after leaving the city, the team headed straight to the west.
That was long before entering the city, and after entering the territory of Khotan, they had heard something from some barbarians.
All the way west in Xicheng, it takes about a whole day for a horse to gallop. On the edge of the desert, you can see a strange-looking mountain with an abrupt mountain body and distinct red and white bedrock on both sides.
The water and grass around the mountain are not luxuriant, but there are some.
According to such a statement, Lao She, a local snake in Xinjiang Province, immediately thought of the modern plane, the Moyu area in Hotan, where the name of the mountain is Hongbai Mountain.
Later, when the Tubo people fought for the four towns in the Western Region, they seemed to have set up the highest military headquarters here.
It is located on the western edge of Taklima. If you were to stay there, the environment would not be very comfortable.
But the advantage of this is that there are no big tribes around, only a few small tribes, which means that you can purchase some cattle and sheep.
It will not be threatened by large tribes and can have a chance to develop slowly.
For them, there is no better place to be in the short term.
So as early as a day or two ago, everyone was discussing it as a temporary base for at least two months in the future...
