Chapter 591 Buying Slaves

After returning from the Regent's Palace last night, Zhao Yiming and Sun Xiuli re-evaluated the future of Mingcheng. Because this time they unexpectedly acquired tens of thousands of miles of territory, some of their previous budgets seemed a bit shallow.

Sun Xiuli pointed out keenly that the biggest problem in Mingcheng at present is the insufficient population resources. Even in this land of tens of thousands of miles, the population is actually not very large.

Once problems do arise in the future, war will be inevitable even from the perspective of self-protection, but no matter how we fight, population is very important.

And if you want to increase the population quickly, diversion is definitely not possible, because now all countries are relatively stable, and people have the idea that it is difficult to leave their homeland.

Moreover, the geographical location of Mingcheng has always been promoted by major empires as a bitter cold place, which makes it even less attractive. If you think about the Luxiang Sect, nearly half of the people are not willing to come here.

The most powerful measure at this time is to purchase slaves and slaves on a large scale, but in this regard, Wanbao Pavilion is not at all on point.

Although Wanbao Pavilion claims to have everything, there is one thing they definitely don’t have, and that is slaves. For some unknown reason, they have never set foot in this field.

So after discussion, the couple decided to buy a group of slaves in Tusi City first, and then send people to the three empires, mainly to buy slaves and orphans, and strive to increase the population base of the entire Ming City.

The two got up the next morning. Sun Xiuli was still dressing up in the room. Zhao Yiming had already wandered into the yard and saw Cheng Xiaofei walking out with a bang on his waist. It seemed that he had made everyone happy last night.

When the boy saw Zhao Yiming, he smiled and said, "My uncle, he got up really early. He has great skills. He has an advantage in every aspect."

Zhao Yiming smiled and cursed, and then said: "I want to buy a large number of slaves here. Do you have any way?"

Cheng Xiaofei nodded and said, "I don't know if you want to buy a female slave or another type of slave. What race do you want?"

Zhao Yiming waved his hand and said: "I want all kinds of slaves, and it doesn't matter what race they are. I want to bring these slaves back to Mingcheng to further expand our population base."

Cheng Xiaofei said with a smile: "Then we have to go to the Pig Cage Walled City. It is the largest tooth shop here. There are tens of thousands of slaves in it every day. It should be able to meet your requirements."

Sun Xiuli also walked out of it at this time, and said with a smile: "Then let's go to that walled city today, and we will buy as much as we have."

What she said was quite domineering, but everyone took it for granted. No matter what considerations, she had the confidence.

Several people soon arrived at the Pig Cage Walled City. The place was completely smoky, with sewage flowing everywhere, and a pungent fishy smell that made people want to vomit.

Soon a boy came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "Is this your first time coming to the walled city? Can I be your guide?"

That was when a man walked by, slapped the kid on the head and said, "You bastard, you want to break the rules again, don't you? You tricked the two guests last time, and you want to do it again this time." , If you don’t get out, I’ll chop off your hands.”

The boy had a look of fear in his eyes and ran quickly to the side.

The man later said with a smile: "Why do you, a young man from Wanbao Pavilion, come to a place like this!"

It turns out that this guy knows Cheng Xiaofei, and he seems to be a local snake here, so he should be able to use it.

Cheng Xiaofei said casually: "Lin Jianrong, you are lucky today. I accompanied two nobles to buy slaves. You tell these vendors that there is no need to continue selling slaves. As long as they are not about to die, we will cover them all."

The boy who was scolded just now was also hiding aside. When the two people heard such domineering words, they were all stunned. However, the boy rolled his eyes, immediately had a bad idea, and ran away quickly.

Lin Jianrong said with a serious face: "Aren't you just entertaining me? Do you know how many slaves there are here and how much the price is."

Sun Xiuli frowned and said: "The environment here is really bad. Don't talk nonsense to me. Not only the slaves you have here, but also tell those slave owners that even the inventory in their hands will be destroyed immediately as long as it is not If you want to die, we will take everything as ordered, money is not an issue at all.”

Lin Jianrong felt really thunderous at this moment. He had never seen such an awesome person before. He didn’t even ask about the price and just packed it up.

However, this also illustrates a problem from the side. The other party must be wealthy and powerful. It is okay to increase the price appropriately. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to raise the price, although the money is good, whether there is life to spend is another question.

He said quite respectfully: "I don't know the names of these two nobles, so I can let those slave owners have some idea."

Cheng Xiaofei said with a smile: "You are still afraid that I will trick you, so I will tell you. This is Young Master Zhao, who is famous all over the world as the leader of the Ming Cult. Next to him is his third wife, the eldest princess of the Starry Empire."

Lin Jianrong felt like a huge pie fell from the sky and hit his face with a click. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He immediately said: "So you are the famous leader of the Ming Cult. I admire you endlessly. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to be your pawn."

Zhao Yiming thought about it seriously and realized that he did need talents in all aspects, at least in the area of ​​buying slaves. He and his wife were not the same type of material, so they could only calm each other down so domineeringly, and then think about other things. matter.

He smiled and nodded and said: "Since you are Xiaofei's friend, then I will accept you! Now is the first thing I ask you to do for me. If you finish this matter, I will Of course I can’t treat you badly.”

Lin Jianrong said quickly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Master. You can leave this matter to me. I will definitely handle it properly. But there are so many slaves, where should I take them?"

Sun Xiuli said with a smile: "We have a military camp in the north of the city. Just take those slaves to the military camp. We will wait for you here and take away the slaves here first."

Lin Jianrong laughed and said: "The leader and his wife don't have to wait here, and the environment here is not good. Why don't you two go back to the military camp first, and I will bring the slave there then."

Zhao Yiming and the two thought for a moment that it would be a good idea, so they left Cheng Xiaofei behind. Unexpectedly, something happened here just after they left.
