Chapter 015 The Evil Slavery
Buy slaves?
This answer obviously exceeded Mrs. Vito's expectations.
There was no movement from the carriage, so it started up again and walked forward.
After Mrs. Vito left, the housekeeper came over diligently and introduced Luden to the familiar slave market.
Since he entered the Kingdom of God late, all the big slave markets were closed. If Luden wanted to become the evil slave owner, he could only wait until the next day.
That night, he stayed with the housekeeper and others. As a distinguished guest, Luden was given a private room.
the next day,
Luden woke up before the red sun came out.
His sleep quality is very good. Once he wakes up, he immediately devotes himself to a new day's work, thinking about how to better exploit...no, better provide blessings!
After asking the butler for directions, Luden walked to the nearest slave market with all his wealth and identity card.
Therefore, it is not yet dawn, and people outside the city cannot enter the Kingdom of God yet.
The guards on the road will check the identity cards of passers-by from time to time to determine whether they are qualified to live in the Kingdom of God.
Some lucky guys will take advantage of the night and hide in dark corners until the sun comes out the next day, then appear in the streets again.
So bad!
As a new face, Luden would be checked by the guards basically every time.
A middle-aged scholar made a mark on his identity wooden tag, which is considered an official certification.
After the guards completed the inspection, they all apologized to Ludden.
In their view, it was a grave sin to doubt such a distinguished gentleman.
After putting away the wooden identity card, Luden had not walked a few steps when he heard the sound of punches and kicks coming from behind him.
He glanced back.
The guards caught a slippery guy. This weird kid wanted to hide in the Kingdom of God for the night. He could earn 1 to 2 cloud hours more and save on accommodation fees outside the city.
He almost succeeded!
Fortunately, the guards appeared in time, administered justice, and brought the criminal to justice.
Luden withdrew his gaze and continued walking on the spacious street, humming an unknown tune.
...
South of the city, slave market.
"Luden Y. Wygood?"
After checking the identity card, the boss was very attentive and kicked his subordinate who was resting against the wall, then whipped him casually.
"Get up, the sun is scorching your butt, you lazy bastard, how can I support a waste like you with just 20 meters a month!"
The steward stood up in a daze and quickly put on a smiling face.
"Sir, you are the first guest today, please come in!"
Ordinary citizens, even if they are qualified enough to buy slaves, have no right to let them stay in the city of God.
Fortunately, Luden can do it.
The slaves were all kept in wooden cages, with unkempt hair and a hemp rope tied to their hands, connecting the slaves in the entire cage together.
If a slave escapes, all the slaves on the hemp rope will be punished.
This is also the best interpretation of the proverb passed down from the Qiyun Kingdom: "Ant on a Rope".
The slaves in the wooden cages were very dirty and exuded an unpleasant smell. The steward who led the way couldn't bear it. He covered his nose and cursed in a low voice.
Human beings are placed in front of Luden's eyes like commodities, allowing him to choose as he pleases.
Calling the most barbaric behavior civilized can wash away the blood on your hands and hide the sin in your heart.
Damn slavery, Luden hated it.
If there was no slavery, these wooden cages would be filled with the best labor force.
They have not finished their last meal, but they will work hard for tomorrow's black bread and create enough blessings...
After withdrawing his thoughts, Luden glanced back and forth between the wooden cages, sizing up these slaves.
Since it was early in the morning, most slaves were still sleeping, and even the very few slaves who were awake were just sitting on the ground in a daze.
They spent the night in the Kingdom of God last night, without spending a penny and without being beaten up by the guards...
However, there was no joy in their dull eyes.
Some are just endless numbness and despair.
The wooden cage where the steward showed Ludeng around was very regular.
Most of the people here are old people, children, ugly women...
To put it bluntly, they are all difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, you will fall into your hands and have to make provisions for bad debts.
It was precisely for this reason that he took Luden back and forth.
If Louden is in a good mood, buy two and make a fortune!
This is also a common practice in the slave market. The first batch of goods is always the worst.
They know very well what kind of people come to visit the slave market early in the morning!
Either he is a pauper who doesn't have a lot of money in his pocket, or he is a dirty person who has some quirks that he doesn't want to make public, or he is a stingy person who doesn't want to bid with others.
As for the truly valuable slaves:
Those capable young men, powerful women, and somewhat pretty girls... will only be displayed near noon.
At that time, the slave market had the largest flow of people, and the transaction volume and transaction price were at their peak.
Also known as: volume and price fly together.
These hot-selling items have just hit the shelves and will be sold out quickly.
Of course, many of the buyers were shills for slave owners, who were responsible for driving up prices and creating the illusion of prosperity.
Once a slave is photographed, they will readily pay and leave with the slave.
After night falls, these people will transport the slaves back in carriages covered with black cloth. The money paid for the slaves will be paid back in full, and the money from the slave transaction will be divided into 30 and 70...
There will always be people who fall for this simple scam.
Any public bidding venue cannot avoid the emergence of ‘shills’.
Even if a person repeatedly emphasizes that he is not a 'shill',
If he said the same words as a shill, did the same things as a shill, and achieved the same effect as a shill...
This is not shilling, so what is it?
Is it a duck?
Since Luden arrived early, the official nanny had not yet gone to work, so he was the only customer in the deserted slave market.
Luden looked at several cages, but none of them were satisfied.
The manager saw that there was really no way to fool him, so he prepared to show him something nice, and at the same time signaled to the child care provider to get ready for work!
The guy in front of me looks very strange, walks heavily, and has at least 1,000 meters of rope on his body!
A fat sheep from out of town, if this isn’t a seed of resentment, what is it?
Luden was about to walk forward when he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a child.
This child has yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair. He looks young, about six or seven years old.
He untied the hemp rope in his hand and tied it to his feet. In this way, he could lean forward, lie on the edge of the wooden cage, and look toward the sky, as if looking at the stars.
The child has a pair of eyes as rich as oil, which is very pleasing to look at.
Luden knelt down, looked at the child, and asked softly,
"What are you doing?"
The child looked away and looked at Luden, his big eyes full of confusion, looking harmless.
After looking at Luden for several seconds, the child finally opened his mouth.
He didn't speak.
He spat in Luden's face,
Chapter completed!
