Chapter 490, Slave Market
In the Celestial Empire, it was legal to buy and sell slaves. Most of the slaves were war slaves, and some nobles were defeated and became slaves.
In Tianyuan Continent, slaves are a group of people who are inferior to the poor. They have no freedom and no choice of life and death. After being branded with the slave mark, it means that their life and death are not cared about by anyone.
Even if you kill slaves in the street, no one will come to see you. This is the fate of slaves.
If you want to escape from slavery, you must obtain the approval of the nobles and use special potions to erase the slave mark.
There are two largest slave markets in the imperial capital, one is Tianrong Trading Company, and the other is Tiansheng Slave Market, led by the third prince of the Empire.
Here is a brief introduction to the pattern of the imperial royal family. Although Shangguan Jue is in his prime, he has already had many princes. These princes will try every means to invade imperial resources, both for themselves and for the forces behind them. Among them, the most influential princes are
There are three, namely the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince.
The eldest prince controlled the imperial border fortress and had always led the army outside and had a high reputation in the army.
In the imperial capital, there is the world of the second prince and the third prince. Shangguan Jue also intends to let the two fight, so he did not stop them. These two are the youngest generation in the imperial capital.
The second prince's biological mother is Empress Murong, and she has a close relationship with the Murong family. Relying on the Murong family's relationship, the second prince has always been able to defeat the third prince.
The third prince's biological mother is Shangguan Jue's favorite concubine. With Shangguan Jue's protection, the third prince's status is not bad. The slave market has always been huge profits, so the two princes will naturally not give in.
Because of the bad relationship with the Murong family, Mu Chen naturally would not go to the slave market of Tianrong Trading Company and took Tianxue to the Tiansheng slave market on Cangling Eagle.
Tiansheng Slave Market is in the civilian area. Compared with the noble area, the buildings here are much simpler, but the crowds are also more dense.
When the Cangling Eagle landed from the sky, a large area of civilians around them were tactful and avoided it.
Those who can ride in Cangling Eagle have absolutely extraordinary identities.
In the distance, a slave market manager quickly ran towards Mu Chen and smiled and said, "I welcome the adults. I don't know if the adults have a surname, but there are places where villains need it."
"I...Mu Chen."
When he heard this name, Guan was stunned at first, and then immediately smiled brighter and said, "It turns out that he is Lord Zhenshan King. The villain is in trouble and atones for his sins."
"I am here to buy some servant maids today and lead the way." Hugging Tianxue, Mu Chen walked into the slave market with a lone expression.
"Yes, yes, please, the prince."
The slave market is large, with three floors, each floor has many simple prisons, and there are many haggard and haggard slaves in the prison, including men and women, old and young, all of which are used for
Sold slaves.
The first floor is the worst-quality slaves in the slave market. Most of them are ordinary people who do not practice martial arts, and only some small nobles will come to buy them.
The Celestial Empire is vast and has a large population. Although most people can practice martial arts, many people cannot practice martial arts throughout their lives. These people are the lowest-level people in society.
Looking at the empty eyes of those people, Mu Chen knew that they had lost hope. Even if they were rescued, they would be just walking corpses.
This is why Mu Chen doesn't like the Celestial Empire system. The hierarchy system is too clear. In the eyes of ordinary people, this may not be much, but Mu Chen, who has the memory of his previous life, does not like it. This is why he wants to change this world.
Although Mu Chen himself is not a good person, he hopes that everyone living in this world can have the right to receive education and the right to choose their own destiny. No matter whether the result is sad or happy, at least everyone has ever been himself
If you have chosen to die in the end, you should have no regrets.
The idea is good, but it is very difficult to implement it. Mu Chen himself is not sure whether he can do it, but... he will do his best.
The second level of the slave market is the slaves who have practiced martial arts. Most of these people have not reached the human martial arts realm. Only a few warriors have the human martial arts realm cultivation. As for the slaves who have the earth martial arts realm cultivation, they all have to give them away.
After all, this is a scarce product.
As for the third floor of the slave market, it is a slave with a special identity, such as the imperial generals, the down-and-out nobles in their country, or the princes and princesses in other small countries, who may become residents here. Compared with the conditions, they live on the third floor.
The slaves have the best living conditions, but they are better than pigpens.
The royal society is so cruel. Compared with the world of immortal cultivation, the society of mortals is even more naked, but it is almost the same. The casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are not much better than ordinary people.
This is why those cultivators at the bottom of the immortal world will begin to indulge themselves after they come to the mortal world.
Mu Chen didn't know much about these transactions, but Tianxue had a deep understanding of them, because she had been in this purgatory when she was a child.
Xianyin, Tianxue, Yaoji, and Yueying are actually slaves bought by Changhen Palace, but they are lucky. They met Shangguan Susu and then they got rid of their slave family.
Looking at the familiar prison around, Tian Xue hugged Mu Chen's arm and became even stronger.
"Don't worry, I won't be there anymore. From now on, with me here, I don't need to worry."
Feeling Tianxue's nervousness, Mu Chen began to comfort Tianxue. The psychological shadows of his childhood were not so easy to forget.
"Well, it makes my husband unhappy."
"Baby Tianxue, don't you like this place?"
"dislike."
"Okay... Husband will demolish this place for you."
Tian Xue hurriedly stopped Mu Chen and said, "No, husband, don't be impulsive. This is the property of the third prince. If the husband demolishes the place, he will offend the third prince to death."
"It's okay, the things that the wife doesn't like are obliged to make it not exist for her husband. However, it's easy to demolish it, but the slaves here need to be placed. We can't demolish it and ignore anything after we leave.
Before the imperial capital, I would demolish both slave markets of the imperial capital."
"But……%"
Mu Chen blocked Tianxue's mouth and said, "No, but this is just the beginning. I don't like buying and selling slaves, after we take down the Empire of the Celestial Empire, I will let all this change. My wife will endure it first.
The world will be better in the future.”
"Well, Tianxue... I listen to my husband in everything."
Since her husband wants to be enemies of the whole world, Tianxue naturally cannot hold back, and she must become stronger.
Of course, these words cannot be said to others. After entering the slave market, Mu Chen left the business and was surrounded by his own people.
Mu Chen is the prince, but he is a big customer, so he is naturally taken directly to the third floor to receive.
Mu Chen took Tianxue to wander on the third floor and saw many slaves being held in cages, with collars around his neck, and were fed highly poisonous inside his body, so he could not resist at all.
Seeing these people being locked inside and for others to review like products, Mu Chen was a little displeased and said, "I don't like it very much. I just choose some staff and we'll go home."
"Okay husband."
