"Miss!" After gathering at the slave market at the agreed time, Zion came over to report, "Today we sent the guards to give us more food, and our income is 3 silver coins less than yesterday."
"Well!" Jia Zhengjin didn't care, "We don't have to worry about this. We can send them away when they need to be sent away, and buy them off when they need to be bribed."
"Yes!" Zion's face was filled with relief, "Miss is thinking more and more thoughtfully about things."
"Buy a slave!" Jia Zhengjin went directly to the sales office.
Everyone followed closely behind and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
It was also a coincidence that I was about to go forward and let the clerk in charge of buying and selling slaves introduce me to see which ones would be better. But before I could say anything, I saw the other party finalizing the deal: "Congratulations to Mr. Mardelfo for acquiring the remaining twenty slaves.
Please come here to pay and hand over the slave contract. Ladies and gentlemen, the slave transaction ends here!"
"Sold out?" Everyone looked at each other. They had just gathered and were about to buy a group of slaves and go back. Why was it over?
Jia Zhengjin was also a little speechless. He walked forward and asked loudly: "Have all these slaves been bought?"
"That's right! These slaves were bought by Mr. Maddelford, and the market will close early today!" the clerk replied with a smile.
"Can you discuss how many you can sell to me?"
"This... you might be able to discuss this with Mr. Maddelford! After all, these slaves already belong to him."
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin turned to the other side and his eyes fell on a tall and thin man wearing luxurious clothes. He should be Mardelfo, so he asked: "Mr. Mardelfo? I wonder if it would be convenient for me to transfer a few of them."
Give me a slave?”
The tall and thin man looked at Jia Zhengjin expressionlessly and replied coldly: "These slaves are all useful, but I don't think they are enough!"
"Give me a few for your favor?"
"Sorry!" Mardelfo was not interested in talking at all and turned directly to the clerk, "Complete the transaction as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" The clerk shrugged at Jia Zhengjin, saying there was nothing he could do, and quickly turned around to sign the contract with Madelfo.
Mardelfo paid the money, loaded the slave directly into the carriage and took him away without looking back.
The onlookers naturally left one after another, after all, all the slaves were sold.
The staff at the slave market began to clean up, leaving only Jia Zhengjin and others who were a little depressed about not being able to buy slaves.
"Miss, what should I do?" Zion asked in a low voice.
"If we don't buy slaves, then our plan will be delayed!" Heiman said depressedly, "We should have come earlier."
"Why are you talking about this now?" Gru yawned, "Since we didn't buy a slave, let's go home!"
Jia Zhengjin, Tina and others looked at each other, thought for a moment, and walked towards the sales clerk just now.
The busy clerk noticed Jia Zhengjin approaching and turned around with a puzzled expression: "Miss, is there anything else you can do?"
"I would like to ask how long it will take for the next batch of slaves to arrive?"
Facing his question, the clerk shook his head, turned around and said, "That's not possible. It could take as little as a day or as long as a month. As for the number of slaves, it is also decided by the official prison. Even if there are slaves today
, it will take half a day to transport it to us. Anyway, we are just waiting for the news!"
"Do you buy your slaves from official prisons?"
"Yes! This is the only formal channel. Anyway, the official prisons in surrounding cities are overcrowded, or are preparing to clear out the population, which is the best time to buy slaves." The clerk replied, "In short, just wait patiently, don't worry."
"Miss, it seems we are not very lucky." Zion came over and said, "Why don't you go back first?"
"Yes! Shall we go back first?" Heiman nodded in agreement.
"Since everything is sold out, shall we withdraw?" Tina also felt that she couldn't buy slaves, so she would go home first.
Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, took out ten copper coins and handed them to the clerk: "Is there any other way to buy slaves? No need to wait."
When the clerk saw the copper coin, he thought about it for a moment, smiled and reached out to take it: "Maybe you can go find Kubo."
"Kubo?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised and turned to look at Zion, "Is it the same Kubo just now?"
"It should be, right?" Zion wasn't very sure, so he stepped forward and asked, "Could the Kubo you are talking about be the squad leader of the town patrol team?"
The clerk nodded: "Yes! He is the mayor's nephew, maybe he can help."
While talking, he packed up all the things and took people to evacuate into the building next to him.
"Kubo!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, then looked back at Zion, "In that case, let's go visit Kubo. It just so happened that he took our things and promised to help. What a coincidence!"
"But Miss," Zion looked around and whispered, "even if he is the nephew of the mayor, the slave trade is not something the mayor can do. Is it useful to ask him?"
"Since the people in the slave market said this, it is definitely not groundless. Let's go and check the situation first!"
"yes!"
Anyway, it’s Jia Zhengjin who has the final say, and it’s still too early to go back now.
It is actually very simple for so many people to find Kubo. He has been patrolling in the town, and they can know the specific location by asking the people around him.
Soon they arrived at the area where Kubo was patrolling, and Zion took the initiative to ask.
"You want to buy slaves? Then you have to go to the slave market. Why are you looking for me?" After hearing this, Kubo asked with a smile.
"The slave market has been sold out. I don't know when the next batch will arrive." Zion said, "The people in the market said you have a way, and you also said before that you can help as long as the problem is not serious? Our lady is in urgent need of help.
There are many slaves, there is a lot of work on the mountain, and we need manpower. If you can arrange it for us, we can double the specialties such as wild rice, wheat, and rice that we provide you every day."
"Is that so?" Kubo held his chin and thought for a while, "I'm not sure I can help. In this case, you come with me. I can't guarantee it, but I can try to ask for you."
"Thank you Captain Cooper!"
"Continue patrolling!" Kubo ordered, letting his men leave first, then turned around and said, "Follow me!"
"Miss!" Zion came over to ask for instructions.
"Yeah!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Let's go!"
The group of people followed Kubo and soon arrived at the mayor's house.
"Wait a moment!" When they arrived at the door, Kubo asked them to wait while he went to knock on the door.
Not long after, the mayor's wife opened the door and saw Jia Zhengjin and others. She was stunned for a moment, and then asked Kubo in a low voice what was going on.
"Aunt..." Kubo immediately told the situation in a low voice, "Do you think you can ask uncle? These are residents of the mountains outside our town. They are quite sensible. I brought back the new food and
The soybean oil was offered by them."
"Is that so?" The mayor's wife thought for a moment, "He is over there at the blacksmith shop. You take the guests and wait for a while. I will go and come back."
