"Tooth dealer, I haven't heard that there is a war. How can you have slaves here?"

Huo Chengyi was in high spirits and even a little excited when he saw several slaves with imprints on their faces in the corner of the big house.

Because the business in his hand is basically the first and only monopoly here, and if the key core skills are accidentally leaked out, he should not think about making money so easily.

Therefore, when he recruits people, his character and loyalty must be guaranteed, just like the little Er who was poached from Jiang Ji Store last time is a lesson from iron.

Slaves are more capable and loyal than servants. He didn't expect that there were slaves in Yaxing at this moment, so he had to ask.

The tooth seller has just made his money. Seeing that he is interested in slaves, he estimates that he still has business, and he is very active in introducing him.

"Your guess is right, now the world is peaceful and what kind of war is going on around us, but in other countries, Wei State destroyed a Fan State during the Chinese New Year, and these slaves came from Wei State. If you are interested, these slaves are counted as slaves. You are 30 and 2, you see, this body is a good helper for work..." The

tooth dealer said while patting the muscles of several slaves to sell.

Generally, the people who are known as Fanbang are the kind of people in poor mountains, bad waters, and desolate places. These people are much stronger than ordinary people due to environmental factors.

Now the shortest of the slaves Huo Chengyi saw were 1.8 meters tall, and the tallest directly reached 2 meters. In ancient times, they were like giants.

With a strong body and slaves from other countries, the selling price is naturally much higher than that of servants.

30 taels of a slave, the tooth dealer did not open high.

"Brother Huo, do you want to buy them? These people are hard to manage. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to bring them back to the village..."

Xiaobai looked a little worried when he looked at the slaves who were sturdy and mighty like giants.

Slaves do not sell themselves voluntarily, and those who are arrogant and strong are not easy to manage, and their size means they eat a lot.

These gigantic slaves probably have to eat three to five, and they don't need such slaves at all for their factory work.

"Remember the deep valley tiankeng I told you about? I'll ask you about the situation of these slaves first, and I'll tell you later."

Huo Chengyi has other plans. He not only wants these slaves, but also wants more.

Signaling Xiaobai not to worry, he looked at a few slaves again, and the muscle mass became more and more satisfied.

"Tooth seller, I want all these slaves, but I'm not too worried about their origins. Please tell me what's going on in the Wei state..."

"Okay, then you can sit here again. I'll tell you in a moment."

It has been a long time since the tooth dealer has encountered such a straightforward and generous transaction as Huo Chengyi, and these slaves are also very active because the price has never been able to sell.

It is said that these slaves are also born with bad luck.

These people are from a tribe called 'Ningma', who are known for being strong and tall.

As long as there are pros and cons, the Nyingma people are typically those with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Therefore, although the number of tribes is large, they are not strong, and they are forced to live in a wild land.

Not to mention their hard life, if any surrounding country lacks labor, they will attack them and capture the Nyingma people as slaves.

Therefore, in the eyes of various countries, the Nyingma people also have a very resounding derogatory nickname "Nyingmanu".

This time, it was because the Wei state was short of money that the lord of the state of Wei ruthlessly destroyed the Ningma tribe directly, and captured all the Ningma people as slaves and sold them to other countries in exchange for wealth.

This approach is simply rude and inhumane.

But there is no way. The bottom line is that the strong are respected, and things are selected by nature. Predation is the nature of all living beings. It is normal for a big country to annex a small country.

"You can rest assured, Lord, Ningmanu is notorious for being a good caretaker. As long as they have enough food, they will work obediently and will never run away and steal things..."

After the tooth seller introduced, Counting down the benefits of Nyingmanu, I counted on the big money in front of me to buy everyone and make a fortune.

Those Nimmanu were as docile as a tooth seller, standing there and grinning at Huo Chengyi, feeling silly.

I don't know how long I've been hungry. Along with giggling, a few Ningmanu's stomachs let out 'gurgling' hunger sounds, and then a few people felt aggrieved when they touched their flat stomachs.

How stupid it is to act like that.

The tooth dealer looked at a few dumb slaves and wanted to go up and kick.

Although the slaves are honest and naive, few masters like them if they are too stupid!

The tooth dealer smiled smartly, "Master, don't dislike it. Although Ningmanu is slow-headed, he is really good at strength. One can work ten..."

"It doesn't matter, all I want is strength. Yes, let's pass the contract ."

Huo Chengyi waved his hand indifferently, and made a deal very readily.

Xiaobai didn't know what his plans were, he bought five big stomach kings at once and went back, thinking about it, it would be difficult to raise.

But it's hard to ask questions in front of outsiders, so he can only put his doubts down first.

It was still early, so he collected the sales deed, and went to buy the daily necessities for Dong Qi's family of five and a few Ningmanu. Huo Chengyi directly brought people to the store in the afternoon to try it out first.

The wharf has become lively in the past two days, and the increase in traffic means that their business is also better.

When he and Xiaobai went to the border, most of the small merchants who sent business cards on the road came back to buy the goods. They are cheap and have a long shelf life. Even if they don't sell them, it is also an excellent travel food for them to eat on the road.

What's more, small traders rely on their vision to bring goods to make money, and there is no reason why they can't see business opportunities.

Therefore, in the past two days, there have been a large number of customers in their store. The orders are placed one after the other, and the store is so busy.

In the past, Dong Qi used to follow the housekeeper to handle the business of the shop and collect rent from the tenant farmers in the mansion of a large family. He has extensive experience in external affairs.

The work in the store is not difficult, you don't need to sell it, you only need to collect money to sell, record orders, and the rest is the manual work of moving things.

After a brief explanation, Dong Qi tried to do it a few times before getting started at the counter.

While Dong Qi's son and Ningmanu did the physical work, Dong Qi's daughter-in-law, Qingsao, brought her younger brother Ming to the side.

The sick child in her family was not idle either, and very cleverly ran to the back room to boil water and make tea.

As expected of a servant from a big family, his eyesight is stronger than that of ordinary people.

Huo Chengyi was satisfied, and Xiaobai nodded again and again, thinking that the Dong family's five were worth it.

As for those few Ningmanu, although their brains are a little dull, they are really hardworking, and even if they are hungry, they are not ambiguous at all.

Just now, Xiaobai, who felt that some buying losses were useless, now his eyes were as bright as Huo Chengyi before, and he immediately asked Brother Dong Ming to buy steamed buns and come back as a reward.

No way, those few Ningmanu's stomach growled really can't be ignored.

"Thank you, Master!"

Several Ningmanu blushed with excitement as they hugged a pile of steamed buns, and no matter how slow they were, they knew how to quickly bow their heads and thank them.

They have never had enough food in the tribe, and they are even worse when they become slaves. Not to mention the white flour steamed buns, even if they can drink two more bowls of noodles, it is the master's kindness.

Dong Qi's family was also nibbling on steamed buns, and the soft, waxy and sweet smell gave their wandering life finally a stable place.

Huo Chengyi didn't do anything the whole afternoon, so he sat with Xiaobai and watched a few people.

He waited until the evening to find out the temperament of the person who bought it today, and then he took him back to the village.

The unexpected return aroused the curious onlookers of the villagers. After knowing that Dong Qi's family and Ningmanu were their newly bought servants and slaves, they exclaimed and discussed.

Returning home was also lively, Huo Dashan Wang Xiuzhu and Aunt Miao's eyes widened.

Thinking about what kind of life they lived at this time last year, this year the family was able to buy servants and slaves to serve them. The vicissitudes of life cannot be described enough.

In the whole family, only Duan Xiaopeng was the most calm and happy, and the youngest son around Dong Qi was very happy.

But they were surprised. They had a lot of children in the family, and they were going to add two more babies soon.

Huo Dashan and others are ordinary farmers. They can't be like masters. Instead, they greet guests like guests, which makes Dong Qi's family, who are used to being servants, flattered.

The five Nyingmanu Huo Chengyi arranged to live in the cottage brothers' houses, and made arrangements later.

After finishing the work in bits and pieces, Xiao Bai had time to ask the questions of the day when he returned to the room.

"Brother Huo, don't give a shit, tell me what you want to do when you buy Ningmanu?"

After holding back all day, Xiaobai was so curious about his mysterious attitude today that he felt like a cat's paw.

"Remember the deep valley Tiankeng I told you when I came back last time? I want to build a secret production base there and make a dark line..."

"What dark line?" Xiaobai didn't quite understand.

"As the name suggests, it's a secret business line. The imperial court is too taboo, and the tree is big to attract wind. We don't have a background. There are many transactions that can't be done openly, so we can only do it secretly..."

Huo Chengyi took a deep breath and told Xiaobai about his imagination blueprint of the plan.

The idea arose when the Shengu Tiankeng was discovered that day.

According to the background of the Huo family and the repression of the imperial court, no matter what he does, he has to think before and after, and he has a lot of concerns.

It's not a joke, it's a fact.

The gap in power and status is really what others want to do to you. It's useless to complain about grievances.

Now it's smooth because the business is still small, and no one pays attention to them, but if someone is eyeing them, they can't afford to offend them, and it's easy for others to deal with them.

No matter how much modern things he has in mind to make money, with the background of the Huo family, the yamen can crush them to death with a single word.

Besides, eggs cannot be put in one basket is an ancient saying.

"I plan to go to Wei State and buy more Ningmanu to come back. The deep valley Tiankeng has a natural hidden advantage. There are no roads around, and the bottom of the pit is flat. It is an excellent production base..."

Just make this secret production Once the base is established, he doesn't have to be so scruples anymore, he can do something else, and he won't worry all day about whether he will be targeted by someone and cause trouble.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Xiaobai thinks it also makes sense. His grandfather's cottage was too famous to be raided.

"But Big Brother Huo, I heard that the Wei Kingdom is very far away, and it takes more than half a year to go back and forth..."

"Others need more than half a year, but we only need a few days."

Huo Chengyi showed off with a rare smile, and it was time to witness the miracle.
