Chapter 24: Too many little lords [Congratulations to the leader! 】

Qi Xi was bored or idle enough, so he accidentally learned that a nobleman came to buy slaves and came to preside over the meeting in person.

He was still the prince who was interested in the king, and knew very well that such a large number of slaves had not been sold and consumed the king's small treasury every day.

The key is that no one really comes to buy it!

In fact, it is not just because of the news that it is blocked. It is mainly because of some of the actions of Duke Jing of Jin, which caused the great nobles to have a gap in their hearts. They have the intention of giving the king a little color, so they have become like this.

He would come in person, in addition to being bored and idle, because Qi Xi learned that Lu Wu, who came to buy slaves, was very young and the warriors he carried were a bit extraordinary.

These days, extraordinary warriors can be attached to them, either great nobles or show their convincing wisdom.

No matter which one it is, Qi Xi is idle anyway, so it is good to find something to do.

After he arrived, he confirmed that the warrior must have been from the Wei family and judged that the relationship between Lu Wu and Wei family was very good.

The king has been looking for opportunities to improve his relationship with the nobles, and the Wei family is one of the goals of the king's efforts.

The princes of Jin also hope to gain more support from the great nobles so that more tribes with the blood of the prince can obtain positions.

After talking to Lu Wu, Qi Xi formed a preliminary impression.

He thought this little guy was a brave man and his speech style was also very interesting. He began to think that this contact might become an interesting thing.

If Lu Wu really develops one day, the meeting between Qi Xi and Lu Wu today will become a beautiful conversation and elegant event.

And for elegant things, the nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period enjoyed this set.

Lu Wu didn't know that Qi Xi would think so much about his mind, so he was bargaining with all his heart.

Qi Xi said, "If you respond, you can do it."

Lu Wu blinked and waited for a question.

Qi Xi asked, "Wi, why do you give me a gift to you?"

Lu Wu replied with a smile: "I am similar to Xiangzi and have a very pleasant conversation. Xiangzi is sorry for the boy and gives him the opportunity to serve."

Qi Xi glanced at Lu Wu in surprise.

He had met Wei Xiang several times, and knew that Wei Xiang was a very smart young man, and he also knew that Wei Xiang had been vigorously cultivated by Wei.

A child of a great noble with a reputation can have a great conversation with a little noble in the wilderness, and have also determined what kind of cooperation matters have they determined?

It was like modern Principal Wang met a passerby on the street. After talking to each other, they became close friends and were willing to lead the passers-by to play together and make a fortune together.

It's an incredible thing.

Qi Xi smiled and looked at Lu Wu for a few more times, walked over and talked with the slave supervisor named Yuan for a while, stopped looking for Lu Wu, and left leisurely.

Lu Wu looked at Qi Xi's departure back and felt relieved.

Talking with the nobles of this era, especially the great nobles, was really tiring for Lu Wu.

Not only do you need to maintain the demeanor that a noble should have, but you also have to speak carefully.

In order to bargain, he was still guiding the topic, and he found out that Qi Xi was at least not the enemy of Wei, and he also guided Qi Xi to ask about his relationship with Wei, so that he could finally pull out the Wei family's tiger skin for use.

And it is obvious that Wei's tiger skin is really useful.

Yuan Weiweituo came with her body bent, and he said, "Wuzi bought thirty male clerks, and he could buy another female clerk. Would you like?"

From Yuan's behavior and words, Lu Wu found that there was room for bargaining again.

He was silent for a moment, chose not to bargain, and agreed to the original suggestion in a quick manner.

It was a bit surprised. He originally thought that Lu Wu would rely on his superior's instructions to lower the price and purchase more female slaves as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Lu Wu would be so straightforward and stood there for a moment.

After all, tiger skin is tiger skin, not a shield.

Lu Wu didn't expect that one day Qi Xi met and talked with the Wei clan members and talked about what happened today. He did too much and caused Wei to be disliked, and even did too much and became disgusted.

Another thing is that Lu Wu still hopes to leave a good enough impression on Qi Xi.

After all, Huo Cheng is the only big city around the Old Lu family.

This is still a military center, and Qi Xi is currently the supreme leader.

The old Lu family had been notified before that Qin and Bai Di had abnormal movements, and God knew whether they would enter Jin.

The old Lu family is in this area and will become a battlefield at any time, leaving a good impression on the local top military commander. Even if they cannot get benefits, they should not leave a bad impression.

Lu Wu began to select slaves.

One clan after another looked at each clan, and there were twenty to thirty slaves in each clan, all of which were bound to their hands and feet.

The fifteen people in the Lishe store would appear crowded. They would suddenly be locked up twenty or thirty people and squeezed into a piece of them. There was no room for movement, but they just sat on the ground.

Lu Wu didn't see anyone buying it. He first visited Yuan and treated Yuan with a polite attitude during the process.

Small officials are generally nobles. If they don’t have the status of a noble, they will at least be descendants of a noble. Otherwise, they will never get a job in this era.

He did not introduce his own clan. He was obviously a destitute noble who had lost his territory and temporarily relied on the bloodline given by his ancestors to make a living.

Such people actually care about whether they receive enough respect.

Lu Wu originally wanted to give red envelopes..., cough cough, it was just to give benefits, but he didn't confirm how to give red envelopes these days.

If the way of giving benefits is wrong, it is easy to become enemies.

Before Lu Wu could think clearly, he ordered someone to carry two big boxes, and he worked hard to search for bamboo slips and carefully selected them one by one.

"Wuzi, why not buy more?" Yuan said conscientiously: "It's good to be honest, hurry up."

The number of purchases proposed by Lu Wu is 300, which is equivalent to the share of purchasing ten female slaves.

He felt that buying three hundred was already a very risky act. If it weren't for the fact that there was a real inability to shortage of female slaves, he would even be willing to purchase one hundred to one hundred and fifty male slaves.

Huocheng's slaves are really cheap.

If you pay for shovel coins, you can buy a male slave with one shovel coins.

If you pay for cloth, one cloth can buy twelve male slaves.

Food can be exchanged for a male slave in just one bucket.

The value of cloth and food is not constant, it depends on where it is and how it is in that year.

Lu Wu brought two boxes of currency, each box of 1,000 shovels of coins.

The money is part of Liang's return gift, and the dividends from Wei's catering industry have not been delivered for the time being.

"Three hundred is enough." Lu Wu would not say that he bought 300 male slaves at once, and with nearly 1,500 slaves from the old Lu family, he was afraid that the slave riot would directly destroy the old Lu family. He shook his head and said, "If you need it, come again."

Yuan Yi looked regretful.

He was not like a seller who should be. He helped Lu Wu choose healthy slaves. At the same time, he tried to choose the most powerful stage in his age, and also tried to choose the gentle one based on his impression.

After a while, the Qin people accounted for 250 of the three hundred slaves, while the rest were the Di people who were good at grazing.

If you pick a slave, you won’t be able to take it away directly.

The slave had been tattooed, which means burnt red on his face to confirm whose property the slave belonged to.

Since they had been tattooed before, they needed to blur the previous words and then put the new owner's mark... that is, they were branded with the word "Lu" on their face.

The tattoo is to confirm whose property it belongs, and it also allows the slave to live a good life even if he runs away.

If the nobles find a tattooer who is free to move, they will definitely catch it, kill it or give it to the original owner as soon as possible, it depends on their mood.

They are not showing any kindness, they are simply maintaining social rules and their own interests.

After looking at it for a while, Lu Wu's nose was covered in stinking smell. He found Yuan and said that he would take over the female slave first.

At the same time, he had to send Qing to the Lao Lu family with his token to inform Lao Zhuo about the situation, and asked Lao Zhuo to prepare for it, and then asked Qing to bring twenty armed people over.
