Chapter 371: Imperial merchant

In the afternoon, Andre was biting a cigar, standing in the room, looking through the window to the hard-working slaves outside.
His outfit was completely different from the traditional costumes of the Central Trading City-state. He had a pure black gown with only black wings marked with claws on his shoulders. As the leader of the business group sent by the Northern Empire to the Central Trading City-state, he received the empire. The new directives from the upper levels were immediately implemented.
Although the trade city state abolished the slave system nominally, the root of this evil survived. Under the impetus of the system, the city ’s big slave owners changed their face and changed their names. They were still active in the trade market. Andre put down his cigar. They The human beings outside were called workers, but in fact they were still slaves who could be bought and sold freely, and he came for this purpose.
"Mr. Andre, you said that your country needs a lot of population and labor to develop mining." The big slave owner in front of him looked at the request given by Andre and asked with some doubt: "This is a hard work, but Why do you single out these young children? "
"The road to the north is too far, I don't want my children to rebel on the road, so the children can easily manage it." Andrea drank the tea and said calmly: "And took away these annoying little things Are you still not happy? "
"A bit."
The other side smiled. The slave owner who can make the business the largest in the trading city state and has never been defeated for so many years is certainly not a stupid stupid person. When he heard it, he knew that his words were just excuses: "These children are precious wealth. I can wait until they are adults to sell at high prices. If any of these children have the talent to become a professional, then they will make a lot of money. You know that with such a large number, there is someone who has the potential to become a caster. "
"These children are growing up and eating big and disobedient. I don't believe you have such patience."
Andre shook his head unwillingly: "They are the most indispensable things in trade costs. Can you use these slaves to exchange the most precious gold here, wouldn't you want to?"
"That being said." The slave owner glanced at the laborer outside the window: "But I lost the sale, so ... I have to add money."
The two sides sang a match, exactly the same as the scene of negotiating the goods, and finally reached an agreement after a bargain. Since this was the first cooperation, the two sides had more or less concerns, so the transaction amount was not high. A thousand people were bought for the price of thirty gold, all of whom were younger than fifteen, the youngest being only nine years old.
Andre watched his servant ’s servants help him count the children. Although he did n’t know the purpose of the empire to buy foreign slaves, the order to buy only children in the trade was undoubtedly correct-these children became slaves without relying on them. If the Black Wing can rescue them from the sea of ​​suffering, it is tantamount to their reborn parents. After arriving in the Northland, they have a long way to go. They can only rely on the empire, and there is no other way out.
I have been doing this for a long time, and the efficiency is naturally high. Soon, the 1,000 people needed by Andre were counted out, and the slave-owned private army was responsible for escorting them to the ports of the trade city-state, and the route from the North Sea to the Central Inland Sea. Has been opened, and the trade between the two sides is quite convenient.
The children queued up and arrived at the port, fearing the army and overseers. Obviously, they had suffered a lot before. Whether it was in the previous northern countries, trading city states, or other places, humans always have strict management of slaves. Harsh, they hardly treat them as another creature, hanged and flogged.
After a while, the port was full of dense slaves, and the young children looked up at the big ship flying the black dragon flag. Although they may have realized something, they were at a loss as to what to do, while the younger one was already Sobbed softly.
The two children who were closer were whispering whispering, Andre's ears were very good, and they could hear their whisper whispering along the wind power of the harbor.
"Sister, dragons are painted on this boat. Are they going to eat us as a gift for the dragon?"
"No, this is to ... rest assured, I will protect you."
Andre followed his voice, and found that a girl with a scar on her face was whispering to comfort a younger boy. At this time, the army leader had come to him: "Do you want to unlock the chain?"
Each slave wore a wire around his neck, and heavy handcuffs and fetters, Andrei thought about it, and sighed, "Not for now, let them get on board."
"A yoke of twenty silver."
The army leader reminded with a smile, and then signaled to his companions, and the supervisors shoved the children violently and boarded the dock. All the disturbances caused by the unrest along the way were beaten.
Twenty big ships, ten merchant ships and ten frigates stood quietly, and there were wooden tables in front of each springboard leading to the merchant ships. Several humans in black shirts were sitting behind the table, holding paper and pens waiting for the slaves. 's arrival
The child slaves were divided into ten columns. When they came to the table, they were asked one by one the questions prepared before, and then the black shirt was responsible for registering the records. The slave children who had known each other would be broken up and divided into different ships. The pair of sisters and siblings had burst into tears and riots.
The process was extremely slow. The army chief waited, then frowned and asked impatiently, "This is going to get to tomorrow? Why is it so troublesome?"
Andrei didn't look at him, staring at the slowly moving crowd on the deck and said: "The transaction is completed, these are now private property of the Northland ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The money has been paid to you, if you do n’t want If you wait, you can leave first. "
"Okay, look forward to seeing you next time."
After hearing this sentence, the army leader did not hesitate to lead people away, while the frigate immediately poured out armed men to take over their tasks, and a few orcs and flying apes flashed across the face once again caused slaves. The panic of the team.
"It looks like we will meet again soon."
Andre shook his head. As an imperial merchant, he must carefully follow Wang Ting's instructions. Among these slaves, Wang Ting's official insisted that he did not want the northerners. If the northerners have no origin in the north, they are strange and unreliable. An unreliable environment is more conducive to empire control.
About forty northerners were selected, and Andre still needs to go back to negotiate and return. The Emperor Black Dragon is a dictator. He bought these children not for his own charity but to cultivate a group of outstanding people. The loyal and loyal talents serve the operation of the entire Empire's machinery, so during the registration process just now, people with blood relationship, familiarity, or even just one or two sentences will be separated and arranged to different ships. There is no longer any chance of contact, so that they can become isolated and helpless individuals, and can only wait quietly for the coming of the Savior.
