14. Pengyuan slave trader
When rows of unclothed Qiang slaves were led by the Dingwu Army's junior schoolmen with ropes and iron chains, and various grass marks were inserted behind their heads. They were taken to the platform in amidst the chaotic comments, Huo Zhongtang, who was watching from under them, felt uncomfortable.
As a native of Daozhou, he was also plundered when he was young and sold to the Daming Palace as a captive slave. Later, he was able to recognize his parents after he became an adult. He completely empathized with this situation.
Several fangs were talking about it in front of Huo Zhong and Tang Ma, looking for suitable products.
In fact, there is no public price. It depends on the length of the grass labels inserted by the Qiang slaves. The elder is forty stakes, the middle is forth stakes, and the shortest is twenty stakes (it can be seen that the emperor gave the Qiang slaves in Lingnan and Fengxiang Mansions almost for free). As for women and children, most of them are ten to fifteen stakes.
As the crying sounded, Luo Xiazi lay on the ground, watching his father being bought by a family, his mother being bought by another family, and his other two sisters being bought by a third family. His thin body leaned forward under the heavy iron chain, watching his parents and sister's figures stay away, being led like animals, disappearing into the crowd. From then on, the flesh and blood separated from the ends of the world, and he could not cry, leaving only a low and desperate howl. The flesh on his body was ground by the iron chain, and blood marks were drawn.
At this time, Huo Zhongtang saw Luo Xiazi and pointed at the low-quality middle-aged official beside him.
The two middle-aged officials walked to the Dingwu Army Primary School on the steps, whispered a few words, and then put the coupon on the coupon and gave the best lottery tickets in the third section of the school. This was the money to buy Luo shrimp.
Soon Luo Xiazi squatted beside Huo Zhongtang's horse, reached out his hand, grabbed the corn rice in the clay pot, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Huo Zhongtang chuckled and said to his colleagues who were also sneering around, "It's like a dog, too. Your Dang Qiang is almost the same as a dog now."
Luo Xiazi had a little understanding of Chinese. He raised his dirty forehead, wrinkles one by one, and his eyes were full of doubts and resentment under his chaotic hair. Huo Zhongtang hit his back with the tip of his whip and said to him sternly: "I will teach you the rules right away to see if you can survive in the inner palace."
On the first day, more than 3,000 Qiang slaves were sold out.
On the second day, five thousand Qiang slaves were gone again.
Day 3...
Pengyuan Cang City became bustling and crazy, and the "Qian Nu" was in short supply. Many people told the Dingwu Army military academies that we should not buy one or two, but ten or twenty.
However, under Gao Yue's training, Dingwu Army Military Academy was more smarter than ghosts. They said to the people who said sternly that if you buy ten, you will increase the price by 20%; if you buy twenty, you will increase the price by 30%, which is completely a starting price by land.
But even so, Qiangnu's business was still very good.
A Uighur horse in Chang'an City can be sold for 70 or even 100 coins. Now Qiang slaves are only half the price of horses, but they are more cost-effective than buying horses. Horses are just consumables and are expensive to raise. However, ordinary wealthy households buy ten eight Qiang slaves and let them "make their own livelihoods" and farm for their families. In this way, the industry will surely flourish and develop in a few years.
So when this group of Yamen switched to mainland buyers, each Qiang slave could bring them a profit of about ten thousand yuan. No wonder they all flocked to them.
In three or four days, 15,000 Qiang slaves sold out.
But the customers were still unsatisfied. People said that after the right army of the Imperial Camp immediately ordered Gao Yue to capture Fangqu City, they could obtain no less than 30,000 Qiang slaves. So everyone seemed to be crazy and wanted to go to Fangqu City to "fight side by side" with Gao Yue, just like a hyena who was eating carrion behind a lion.
At this time, dozens of primary schools in Xingyuan Prefecture stood on the high platform set up outside the walls of Cangcheng and told something about the crowded audience.
This matter is actually very simple, that is, the "military city" in Mashangqu City. Gao Dayin has something to say, but is no longer free and open like Peng Yuan in Ningzhou: If you want to continue to purchase the newly captured Qiang slaves in large quantities, you must have the "goods" stamped by Gao Dayin's military mansion.
This product is a voucher, a voucher for entering Fangqu City Collection!
"How much does it cost to attract goods?" I don't know who was the first to ask in a corner of the crowd like a wolf, and then a tide of response sounded, all of whom were concerned about the price of obtaining this goods.
So the leading military academy raised his hand, and the audience suddenly became silent. He told everyone that as long as the merchants and Yamen could find a way to transport the grain, cotton and silk stockpiled in the Xingyuan and Fengxiang military warehouses to the front line of Fangqu City to supply the army, we would give different amounts of goods (the number of Qiang slaves) according to the different routes and the difference in transportation volume.
Soon, the following scenes occurred throughout Guanzhong, northwest and Xingyuan. The grain in various military warehouses was carried by merchants and hired people to carry them along various post roads to Fangqu City in Qingzhou.
There were endless convoys of the Tang army's camps and forts around Fangqu City. After the military academy finished counting the grain and cloth from the caravans, they would issue the exchanged goods to them one by one.
This saves a lot of money on foot strength.
What is the money for foot strength?
Of course, there are tens of thousands of party encyclopedia trapped in Fangqu!
Gao Yue walked out of the tent and looked at Fangqu City, which was covered with bonfires under the night, as if he was looking at his own warehouse.
When the fire was over in July and when the autumn wind suddenly rose, the Tang army in the fort followed the regulations of one camp for each ten people. Some squatted on the ground to dig stoves to make fire, some went around to cut firewood, and some were feeding the horses to the ten pack horses - the Maling River flowing through the side of Fangqu City, was blocked by the embankment built by the Tang army, and then changed the route and obediently followed the ditches dug by the Tang army. On both sides of the ditches, the Tang army raised wooden fences and dug out long trenches, surrounding the entire Fangqu City into a "dead land" and a "jedi".
Yeli, the two tribes of the Great Worm are about 40,000 men and women, and more than 100,000 livestock, and the water source is lost.
In the Tang army blockade line, the grasslands on all sides of Fangqu City were also eaten by animals, and Ye Lichi and Shu Hurong were trapped in desperate situations.
Ye Lichi and Shu Hurong asked their wives, concubines and children to tie themselves up naked, and went to Gaoyue camp to beg for surrender.
Gao Yue directly asked the soldiers to capture Ye Lichi and Shu Hurong's dozens of wives and concubines, and then as rewards, he distributed them to his generals and subordinates.
As for their children, Gao Yue was not vague, saying that these people could be the chiefs. If they stayed, they would continue to incite the Gang Qiang in the future.
In the early Tang Dynasty, he liked to win over the upper class of the alien race for his own use, but Gao Yue had changed his course. After saying the above words, he asked the schoolmen to hold a knife and took all the young children who came to surrender to the valley behind the camp to be executed.
