Chapter 175

After a while, sandy accompanied Duwei around the square for a few times. Finally, with the strong recommendation, he pushed Duwei into the high platform in the northwest corner.

"This is one of the best slave farms here." Sandy is very small, struggling to stand on tiptoe in the crowd, struggling to talk to Dewey. Although Du Wei was not old, the blood of the Wulin family made him thin, but he was really tall.

"The business of this company is the best, and the boss behind it is also the strongest. They can always get the most and the best slaves, and you can see that their position is also very good."

"What's the difference?" Dewey's wonderful.

"Of course not!" Sandy tried to explain: "their desk is here. Most of them are facing the sun every day. The light is the best. When people look around and choose, the sun shines directly on the slaves, and they can see most clearly. Moreover, because of the sun, the slaves all look pale and thin, and they seem to have a lot of spirit! Here, there are rules for every family to occupy any territory. Look at this house. It's at the entrance of the square. Everyone who comes in to buy slaves will be the first to see their house. Although the opposite one is also very big, it's in the opposite direction. It's always on the shady side of the sun, and it's always when people go out that they can see them... You think, when people are ready to go out, they can see them, and their business is naturally worse. "

At this time, on this large platform, a guy dressed like a clown was shouting something. Although this guy was small and dressed strangely. But the voice was really loud. With a whip in one hand, on the platform behind him stood a group of slaves, all of whom were masked and tied dozens of people with only one rope. Obviously, they were all "familiar slaves".

"Gentlemen, please have a look! These are useful guys! Look at this piece, look at this muscle! Buy it back as a coolie. As long as you give them a little food, they can work like estrous animals! And everyone is a strong labor force, will be basic farm work!! They are braver than rabbits, but stronger than cattle! If such slaves are bought back, one will be the best for three people! "

Said, the clown like guy ran to a side of the male slave side, the male slave is very tall, big skeleton. Although a little thinner, it still looks strong. In the face of the slave who was two heads higher than himself, the clown patted him as if he were an animal. He patted him so much that he opened his lips: "look! There is nothing wrong with it! Look at this mouth! Look at his eyes again! Three silver coins! Three silver coins will give you an honest slave. I'll do the dirtiest and hardest work for you! They can eat anything. You can feed them by throwing some porridge made of wheat bran every day

Du Wei and Ruolin discuss that the workshop at the back of their shop really needs a few people, and they are about to ask Ruolin to offer. Sandy quietly pulled Dewey's sleeve for a while and said in a silent voice:

"Wait a minute."

These ten slaves were soon bought by several foreign merchants. While they paid, they sent people to the back to take them with them.

Dewey looked at Sandy suspiciously. Sandy quietly hid behind Dewey and said in a low voice, "these guys just can't do it! The one at the front is good, but don't you notice that the two at the back can't even stand. There is another one standing with his shoulder tilted to the left. I'm sure there must be something wrong with his legs. If you wait, there will be good goods in the future. "

Sure enough, the next batch is much stronger than the previous one.

Sandy didn't dare to tell Dewey because he was still hanging out on the street. If the slavers saw him. Can be about to cause trouble, every time just hide behind Du Weidi quietly speak in a low voice. Finally, when the fourth group of people came out. Sandy looked at it for a while and whispered, "OK."

The fourth group of slaves were all black Nanyang natives, all of whom were strong and strong. However, to Dewey's surprise, three of the ten slaves on the stage were skinny old men. Although some of them are very strong, the three old guys can't do anything at first sight.

In this way, a group of slaves came forward, and the people below did not want to bid. Although strong slaves are good, but those old guys... Are they going to waste food when they buy them back?

Dewey took a look at Sandy. Sandy sighed and said in a low voice, "dear young master, I'm right. You can buy this batch. These Nanyang natives have great strength. One of those young and strong people can work for two other slaves! Especially the three old ones, although they seem to be unable to do any work, their functions are beyond your imagination! "

"What?"

"I've heard that these Nanyang natives especially respect the elderly. In those Nanyang tribes, these elderly people are often of very high status. They may even be elders or patriarchs! All the other young people have to listen to the orders of these old guys and have special respect. And these Nanyang natives, especially like to escape. However, if you buy this batch back, as long as there are these old ones... You see, they are all so old that they can't run away. But with them, the young slaves would not run away, because they had to stay with the old guys and take care of them. It doesn't cost a lot of food for these old guys to buy and feed them, but the slaves will work obediently and won't run away. Generally speaking, it's very cost-effective. "

Du Wei's eyes brightened, and he became more and more curious about this boy... He was really smart. At a young age, he had already found out so many tricks secretly“ But... Why are they in chains? " Dewey asked: "the one who uses the rope is a mature slave, and the one who closes the cage is a raw slave. What's the matter with the one who wears the shackles?"“ "This..." Sandy scratched his head and said, "generally speaking, it means that you are both born and mature. But even if you are a slave, as long as you don't close the cage, it means that you are not very fierce and honest. There is no record of wanting to escape. It's relatively easy to tame. And, to tell you the truth, these born slaves are better than mature slaves... You know, no one will give them good food and drink when they buy slaves. After a long time, no matter how strong the slaves are, their bodies are much thinner. If they were strong enough, they would not be able to survive after being tortured for a year or two. Although these guys are born slaves, they look very honest, not caged, and very strong. Born slaves are always stronger than mature slaves. " Du Wei nodded and gave Ruolin a wink. Ruolin answered the price“ Thirty silver coins. " Ruolin's crisp female voice is also very different in the surrounding noise. Originally, many people peeked at this beautiful young woman in the crowd. As soon as she called the price, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. As soon as the slaver heard someone asking for a price, he said in a loud voice, "Oh! Thirty silver coins! This beautiful and noble lady is very discerning! Look, thirty silver coins! Gentlemen and guests, these slaves are good goods! Thirty silver coins is a very fair price... Is there anyone else willing to pay a higher price? "“ Thirty five silver coins. " There was a hoarse voice in the crowd. Dewey couldn't help laughing and glancing at Sandy: "it seems that someone has the same eyes as you." Sandy a little embarrassed smile: "dear young master, you are joking. I've heard all about this. There are many people here every day, many of them are discerning. You don't see that there are many people shouting before. Most of them are fat sheep from other places. They are stupid and don't know the market Seeing Du Wei nodded to himself, Ruolin got the master's signal and said in a high voice: "forty silver coins."“ Forty five. " The husky voice in the crowd steadily continued to raise the price. By this time, a lot of onlookers around had stepped aside, and Dewey finally saw the appearance of the man who raised the price with himself. A middle-aged man in a lavender robe looks a little fat, but he is very strong. He has two moustaches on his mouth. Beside him, there are three or five strong young men, dressed in servant's clothes, standing around the middle-aged man, just blocking the people around him. Although the crowd is very crowded, but the fat man stands in a loose place, with a hint of reserve on his face. He slowly shouts out the price and looks at Ruolin“ Fifty silver coins. " Ruolin spoke faintly. "..." The fat man frowned, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. After looking at Ruolin, he seemed to sneer: "sixty silver coins, that's all." Sandy saw the fat man's appearance. Suddenly, his face changed. Seeing that Ruolin had to speak, he gave Ruolin a quick look and said in a low voice: "forget it, don't shout."
