Chapter 2525 Price
I am the mayor, not a slave owner!" The mayor tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said slowly, "This kind of work is done by slave owners, of course I can't do it!"
Looking at his expression, he didn't look like he had no way out. Jia Zhengjin immediately said: "Mr. Mayor, you are the top figure in Flato Town. Is there anything big or small that you can't handle here? I think you must have a way?"
"I don't have any slaves here, no matter how many times you ask!" The mayor said calmly, "I never buy and sell slaves. But..."
"But?"
The mayor looked at her and smiled: "Miss Mashi should know that every year a large number of death row prisoners are sent to all parts of the country to build dams, city walls and various protective buildings. It's a waste utilization! These jobs are very hard and time is very tight, so under the high-intensity work, death row prisoners often can't stand it. But no one cares about their life or death. It just so happens that our Flato town has also been building a dam recently, and more than 500 death row prisoners have been brought here..."
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhengjin's eyes lit up.
"Now the weather is hot, and some death row prisoners are consumed under high-intensity work, and the higher-ups will not ask at all..." The mayor's words have been very clear. If Jia Zhengjin doesn't understand, he has been living in vain for thousands of years.
What he meant was to select some people from the death row prisoners, report their deaths directly to the higher-ups, and privately turn them into slaves and sell them.
Death row prisoners are serious criminals who have committed capital crimes and will be executed sooner or later. Now they are just waste utilization, and their labor is squeezed as much as possible before execution.
In fact, many places do this, secretly turning death row prisoners into slaves and selling them to make a lot of money.
"Mr. Mayor, the death row prisoners are guarded by the army, so they should not be in the town." Jia Zhengjin asked worriedly, "How can the death row prisoners be transferred out under their noses?"
The mayor smiled slightly and said, "The person in charge of guarding the death row prisoners happens to be my good friend, there is no problem at all! But..."
"But what?"
"But the matter is of great importance. If we only buy one or two at a time, it will be too much trouble for us. We might as well not do it! It is better to ask you to find a slave trader directly."
"What the mayor means is..."
"Miss Mashi,
If you are interested, buy this number!" The mayor raised an index finger, "One hundred death row prisoners, I will give you a discount. According to the price of high-quality slaves, five hundred gold coins! We will buy it all at once, and the money and goods will be cleared."
"This..." Jia Zhengjin frowned. It was not that he had no money, but Princess Mashi and the people around her did not have so much money. If he took the money himself, he could not explain it.
"Miss," Zion came over worriedly and whispered in Jia Zhengjin's ear, "Where can we get so many gold coins? We have only made a little bit these days..."
Jia Zhengjin raised his left hand to calm him down, lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Mr. Mayor, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. You also know that we wandered here and actually have no money. I have made a little money from business recently, but I can't afford the price you mentioned! In fact, we want to buy the cheapest slaves. You gave me 100 death row prisoners at the price of high-level slaves, which is beyond our affordability. "
"It's not easy for anyone to take out 500 gold coins at once!" The mayor laughed, "So, it doesn't have to be traded with gold coins."
"What do you mean?"
"I think, as a survivor of the Celtic family, you can't really have nothing." The mayor laughed, "If there are any rare treasures or precious items, you can exchange them."
"Miss, where do we have such things?" Zion whispered in Jia Zhengjin's ear, "It seems that we can't afford it!"
Jia Zhengjin smiled and waved his hand, asking him to step aside, looking at the mayor and said: "Mr. Mayor, how do you think I have such valuable treasures?"
"I don't know!" The mayor shrugged, "It's just a business negotiation according to the procedure. You have to know that it is also risky for us to secretly turn death row prisoners into slaves, and it is impossible to take risks for a few gold coins. You need at least 500 gold coins or interests of corresponding value to take the risk! If Miss Mashi can afford it, we will help you get the person. If you can't afford it, we can still be friendly even if the business talks fail. After all, you have been a legal resident of our Flato Town for so many years, and you just need to register!"
"Let me think about it!"
"Okay, I hope Miss Mashi can give me an answer as soon as possible!"
"Miss, we don't have anything of equivalent value to exchange." Zion whispered in Jia Zhengjin's ear, "Five hundred gold coins, it will take us a long time just to sell potions."
"Don't worry, it's actually quite easy to get something of equivalent value." Jia Zhengjin was not in a hurry.
"Miss, where do we have these things?"
"The power of God."
Hearing Jia Zhengjin whispered this word, Zion's eyes flashed: "Do you have a way?"
"One hundred death row prisoners, a little beyond our expectations. Is it safe to buy them back?"
"Miss, don't worry!" Zion replied softly, "For death row prisoners, they are destined to be executed, so most people will agree when they have the hope of being turned into slaves, at least they can survive. And after being turned into slaves, they are private property. If they dare to harm their masters or escape, anyone can kill them directly when they are discovered. Therefore, it is rare for slaves to betray their masters. Instead, they will be more loyal to gain the trust of their masters. Let alone one hundred, even one thousand or ten thousand, there is no need to worry if there are conditions to buy them back. The Dawn Front Alliance did this at the beginning and started with the slaves they bought. "
"Okay! Then I understand." After hearing this, Jia Zhengjin nodded and turned to the mayor, "Mr. Mayor, I really can't take out so many gold coins. But I really need this batch of slaves. After thinking about it, I can only exchange things..."
The mayor narrowed his eyes instantly: "Miss Mashi, what treasure are you going to exchange with me? I think as a descendant of a hero, you must have extraordinary treasures?"
"I don't know if this is a treasure," Jia Zhengjin sighed, "To be honest, I shouldn't take it out. I don't know if my ancestors will blame me..."
"What treasure is it?" The mayor's eyes were full of curiosity.
"It's not a treasure, it's just a potion formula."
"Potion formula?" The mayor was a little disappointed, "What potion formula can be worth 500 gold coins?"
"True Word Potion!"
"True Word Potion? What is that? I've never heard of it!"
Nonsense, the potion formula of another world, it would be strange if you heard of it!
Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, but smiled and explained: "The so-called truth potion is a special potion that allows the person who takes it to tell the truth 100% of the time and cannot lie. I think the value of this prescription should be more than 500 gold coins!"
