Chapter 138: The Sun Country that perished! Captives of the fallen country!
Chapter 138: The Destroyed Sun Kingdom! The Captive of the Destroyed Country!
The Izumo caravan brought a large number of slaves, and the entire caravan was huge in size and large in number, which easily attracted Xidu's attention.
Yao Yun was worried that Xi was short of manpower, so he was naturally overjoyed when he saw the rain in time. He immediately sent Hu Yi out to buy slaves, and ate all the slaves he bought.
Trafficking humans is an inhumane thing, but Yao Yun has no psychological barrier at all. His buying of slaves is different from the exploitation of the nobles of the Xia Dynasty. His purpose is to help slaves get rid of slaves and live a normal life.
Maybe Yao Yun can't change everyone and the world, but he can do his best to change the people and things around him. For example, in these months, Xi Du has been promoted to common people and mastered survival skills.
As long as more and more slaves are promoted to common people, one day it will tend to succeed infinitely.
This is Yao Yun’s attitude towards doing things. His goals can be grand and lofty, but he must be down-to-earth in doing things.
After ordering Hu Yi to buy slaves, Yao Yun went to find the second elder Wu Tong and the bald dragon.
Wu Tong said: "King, the snowflake salt in our Xidu is indeed famous in the imperial capital. Hahaha, it is said that countless caravans are running south and are looking for snowflake salt for a lot of money."
Yao Yun laughed and waved his hand: "It's reasonable to say that the snowflakes and salt will be the tribute of the emperor in the future, and it is normal for nobles to pursue them."
The bald dragon opened his mouth and poured a basin of cold water: "Criminal, don't be too happy. Iron Long used some tricks and found out that many caravans from the north were blocked by the vassal states in the south. The caravans from the north spent a high price to buy snowflake salt in the vassal states such as Izumo, Qian and other vassal states. They didn't come to our Xidu at all. Damn, they are sucking our blood!"
The bald dragon has a false horn, and the one-horn soars into the sky, which looks inconsistent, but it does not affect the bald dragon's self-feeling good, and is full of energy and domineering.
When Yao Yun heard the news, he frowned slightly.
Wu Tong also shook his head repeatedly: "If the caravans from other places are intercepted by the southern vassal states, then they will jointly control the price of snowflakes and salt, we will be a little passive..."
The bald dragon sneered: "No, maybe we will earn less gold by then!"
Wu Tong turned to look at Yao Yun, and said nothing, so he asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Yao Yun pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually, this is normal. Merchants are pursuing profits and the vassal states join forces to exclude other caravans. Moreover, doing business requires win-win results. When we make money, others also need to make money. Eating alone is not the way to last."
Wu Tong looked at the king in surprise. He thought that the young and energetic king would be furious when he heard this news, and would be angry no matter how he heard it. However, he never expected that his king was so calm and even considered it from the perspective of the caravan. This was too steady and mature.
The bald dragon was not so subtle and said to Yao Yun in surprise: "Criminal, you are not possessed by evil spirits. Do you still agree with their approach? They are cutting off our financial path!"
Yao Yun smiled bitterly: "I don't agree with it. This is bound to happen. We have no channel to sell snowflakes and salt, so we can only rely on them. This situation is extremely avoidable."
After hearing this, Wu Tong asked with praise in his eyes and a little expectation: "King, then how do you deal with this matter?"
Yao Yun thought for a while and said, "The snowflakes and salt are always in our hands. We have the final say whether to sell them or not. We have the final say on this alone. Not to mention that the vassal states cannot stop all the caravans. There will always be caravans that will arrive in Xidu. They cannot cover the sky with one hand, so we don't need to bother!"
The bald man touched his head, as if he felt something was right.
Wu Tong was already smiling at this time, but he was also puzzled.
It was also after some thought that he understood the key points. He relied on his rich experience, but his young king, was he the natural god in ancient books?
Wu Tong was naturally relieved, but he was a little worried that the wood was revealed by the wind in the forest. It was a good thing that the king suddenly had an idea, but it was easy to develop a arrogant temperament. Recently, the king showed his sharpness, and he still needed them to show his skills to let the king understand that there are people outside of people and there is heaven.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong said, "You are right, we are troubled by mediocre people. King, I heard that there were many slaves coming from the caravans in other places. I know some skills of touching bones and observing people, and it is just right to select good talents for the king."
When the bald dragon saw Wu Tong wink at him, he immediately understood and immediately agreed: "Criminal, Wu Lao Er is right. He is very good at seeing people. When he touches his hands and looks at them, the slaves will be seen through. This is a great subject, extremely profound and amazing. With him, you can guarantee that you will not suffer any loss when you buy a slave!"
When Yao Yun heard this, he became interested. He had mastered the magical power of judging people with a wise eye. He was also good at this, but he didn't know if the methods of the second elder Wu Tong were so magical.
"Then I should have a good experience. The slave is still in the hands of the Izumo Caravan. Let's go and have a look!"
Soon the group came to the market and found the large yard where the Izumo caravan temporarily lived. There was also Shi Du A at the entrance of the yard. It was obvious that Hu Yi was inside.
"King!" "See King Xi!"
Brother Dao from Izumo Caravan was quite surprised when he saw Yao Yun, but he still saluted respectfully and reported his identity.
"The person who comes is a guest, there is no need to be too polite. Izumo is a powerful country in the Southern Barbarians. I have heard of it for a long time. I only realized the rumors were false when I saw the leader of the sword today!"
Brother Dao was very flattered and quickly said that he was not ashamed.
"King Xi, the slave you want is already brought to you, please check it out." After saying that, Brother Dao led Yao Yun into a yard with a large open space next to him. The yard was surrounded by a low fence, and there were several warriors holding bronze weapons guarding him. A group of ragged slaves stood in the middle of the open space.
"King Xi, look, they are all young slaves, no old, young, women and children."
"The leader of the sword is very grateful. Hey, where did these slaves come from? It seems different."
"Hehe, don't dare, king, these people are prisoners of war from Sun State."
Wu Tong said at this time: "But Sun Guo, who destroyed the country not long ago!"
Brother Dao saw a Wu Zhu asking questions, and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately said respectfully: "Reply to the Lord's words, that's right!"
“Oh~”
Yao Yun also heard that the State of Sun was a small vassal state in the Southern Desert, and was far away from Xi. Xi did not communicate much with him. It was destroyed not long ago. I don’t know the specific reason for the destruction. I just heard that several vassal states took advantage of the situation and completely annexed the State of Sun.
