Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I want some young slaves. Can you help me contact some people and see if there are any suitable ones? The price can be discussed."
Lin nodded and said, "How many young slaves does the Marquis want? I can contact some for the Marquis."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he thought for a moment and said, "Alright, Golden Island needs a lot of slaves right now. The 400 slaves that I want today will be placed in Carson City's castle. Golden Island doesn't have any. You can see if you can buy some slaves for each family. Young slaves, old slaves, experienced slaves, as well as young slaves would make it easier for me to manage." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright.
Lin couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai in a new light. Although buying slaves was a simple matter, most people would buy young and strong slaves. Very few people would buy old slaves. This was because slaves had to work hard all year round. Once they get older, their bodies wouldn't be in good condition. Such slaves might die within two years, so nobody was willing to buy them.
However, Lin Li, who had been in the slave trade for a long time, knew that the old slaves were sometimes very useful. Although the old slaves were illiterate, they had been planting for their entire lives. They were very familiar with the situation of the land. They knew what diseases the plants were suffering from, and when was the best time to plant them. Some of the slaves could even roughly predict the weather. This was definitely a very great ability.
However, a lot of Nobles didn't know about this. Those who had their own territories might not have gone to their own land in their entire life. Therefore, they didn't know anything about farming. There were some Nobles who didn't have old slaves, so their income from the land was two times worse than those who had old slaves.
However, this gap was noticed by the Nobles. What they noticed was that the slaves weren't strong enough. Because of this, many of the slaves didn't live long before dying of exhaustion.
Slaves who could live to old age were actually treasures. In Lin's eyes, the old slaves should be more valuable than the young ones. Unfortunately, many Nobles couldn't see this point. When the old slaves reached old age and couldn't work anymore, many of them died miserably.
Lin also understood why Zhao Hai wanted to buy some young slaves. These young slaves were very malleable. If they were allowed to learn craftsmanship, then the price of these young slaves would increase by ten times or even ten times compared to when he bought them. A lot of Slave Merchants were doing this. They would buy some young slaves and then find some craftsmen to teach them. When these young slaves grow up, they would sell them at the price of craftsmen, making a lot of money.
Zhao Hai wanted to buy slaves in families to make it easier to manage. Lin had seen a lot of slaves go crazy because of their children being sold. Slaves were also people. Lin understand this point, Lin agreed with Zhao Hai....
Zhao Hai looked at Lin Li and asked, "What's wrong, Lin Li? Is there a problem? "
Lin recovered, then he quickly shook his head and said, "No, there's no problem. May I know how many slaves does the Marquis want?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "100 thousand. It doesn't matter if it's a bit more, but it can't be less."
Lin was happy, he immediately said, "The Marquis can rest assured. 100 thousand slaves, as long as you give me a month, I'll be able to prepare them. When the time comes, I'll send them to Golden Island."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "When you're ready, go to my castle and inform me. Then I'll tell you where to send them. Alright, send the slaves I bought today to my castle. Calculate how much they cost."
"Sir Marquis, the total is 213,000 gold coins. Sir Marquis only needs to pay 210,000 gold coins. Sir Marquis only needs to pay them 210,000 gold coins. Let's round off the 3,000 gold coins."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he turned his hand and took out two crystal cards. These two crystal cards were anonymous, one was for 200 thousand gold coins while the other was for 10 thousand gold coins. As long as you have these two cards, you can receive money when you go to a bank. These cards were generally used by Nobles.
Crystal cards like these were specially made by the bank. They had all kinds of denominations. They also had the bank's symbol on them. This symbol wasn't an ordinary symbol, it was a magic formation unique to the bank. As long as you input energy, you can distinguish the authenticity of the card.
For someone like Lin, who dealt with money all year round, he could tell at a glance whether the card was real or fake. Moreover, it was impossible for a famous person like Zhao Hai to use a fake crystal card.
Lin received the two crystal cards, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The Marquis can rest assured. Do you want to see the artisan slaves?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "There's no need, I believe that you wouldn't deceive me. There aren't many people in this world who would dare to deceive me."
Lin was surprised, Zhao Hai wasn't joking. He was right, there weren't many people in this world who would dare to deceive him. Those who dared to deceive him were all dead. Let alone him, even the people behind him wouldn't dare to offend Zhao Hai.
Lin immediately smiled and said, "The Marquis must be joking. Our small shop can withstand your wrath. Rest assured, I'll ensure that the people you want will be delivered safely."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's good, then I'll go back first. I won't be looking at the slaves today, I'll come back when I have time." Then he went outside.
After they got on the carriage, Zhao Hai and the others left the slave market. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, we bought so many slaves at once. Shouldn't we inform Grandpa Green about the situation here?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will. Not only that, I also need to discuss something important with Grandpa Green."
When Laura heard Zhao Hai, she looked puzzled and said, "Something important? What is it? Now that we've bought the castle, as long as we renovate it, we can officially move in. When the time comes, we'll have to hold a banquet. There are a lot of things to do. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This matter has already reached the point where I have to do it. Otherwise, Grandpa Green might get angry with me." Laura didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. But when she saw Zhao Hai's expression, she knew that he didn't want to talk about it. Therefore, Laura didn't ask any further.
Before long, they returned to the castle. Zhao Hai had already decided to name the castle Wild Dragon Castle. The Buda Clan's banner was also the Wild Dragon Banner, just like the castle. He wanted everyone to know that this castle belonged to the Buda Clan.
At this time, there were still a lot of Undead working on the castle. They were currently in the final stages of renovations. This was Carson City, the capital of the Rosen Empire, the continent's largest commodity distribution center. It was very convenient to buy things here. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to renovate Wild Dragon Castle. He also planned to have Cai 'er place a branch here.
In the afternoon, more than 600 slaves were sent to Wild Dragon Castle. In order to wait for these slaves, Zhao Hai had already transferred some people from Iron Mountain Fort. Their leaders were Blockhead and Rockhead, as well as Daisy and the others who were in charge of some specific tasks in Iron Mountain Fort.
When it came to managing slaves, Blockhead and Rockhead weren't as good as Daisy and the others. Daisy and the others had already been selected by Zhao Hai to manage the slaves. Later on, when the academy was set up, they also studied there. Because of this, having them manage the slaves wasn't a problem.
Most importantly, Daisy and the others had been with Zhao Hai for a long time. They understood Zhao Hai's habits and knew what he liked to do. The 400 slaves that were bought this time were to serve in the castle. If they didn't know what to do, then Zhao Hai and the others wouldn't be comfortable in the castle.
The artisan slaves were much easier to handle. Zhao Hai directly sent them back to Iron Mountain Fort. At this time, the fort needed these people the most. As for the pharmacist, Zhao Hai directly introduced him to Shun's mother. Shun's mother knew how to use poisons, and the pharmacist specialized in poisons. Zhao Hai had him teach Shun's mother.
After arranging these people, Zhao Hai returned to the Space. Then he found Green and the others. Green and the others also knew that Zhao Hai was buying slaves for the castle. They weren't surprised, this was something that should have been done long ago. Naturally, they would fully support it.
After the group sat down in the living room of the Space's villa, Zhao Hai looked at Green and said, "Grandpa Green, I came to see you today because of two things. The first is that I've ordered 100 thousand slaves. These slaves aren't artisan slaves, their main task is to farm. When they arrive, send them to the Black Wasteland to farm. I have a lot of things to do today, so it's impossible for me to farm in the Black Wasteland. We should establish a village outside of Iron Mountain Fort."
Green nodded and said, "Right, I also think that we should do this. But even if we have 200 thousand people, we still can't meet the needs of the Black Wasteland. Young Master, you might as well use this time to plant some pasture in the Black Wasteland. When the slaves arrive, we can have them graze in the pasture. This way, they'll be more accustomed to living there, and we'll also have more income from the pasture. Otherwise, with the Black Wasteland's large area, it would be a pity to just leave it there."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's a good idea. After a while, I'll plant them. If I have a large ranch, that would be good."
Green nodded, then he said, "What about the second thing?"
Zhao Hai took a deep breath, then he looked at Laura and the others who were seriously listening to him and Green. Then he said, "Now that the Buda Clan's name has been spread out, the castle has been bought, and the fief has been made public. I think it's time for Laura and the others to get married. Now that they're my fiancee, people will start gossiping."
Green stared, Kun stared, Laura and the others stared, they really didn't think about this. The things that they had to do these past few days were too big, they actually forgot about the matter of marriage. Now that Zhao Hai suddenly mentioned it, the group didn't recover for a while.
After a while, Green finally calmed down. He laughed and said, "Yes, Young Master, you're right. It's time to hold the wedding. It's our fault for being too busy and forgetting about this matter. Alright, I'll arrange it right away."
Kun was also very happy, Laura and the others didn't know about Zhao Hai's identity. If word got out, Laura's reputation would be damaged. But since Zhao Hai insisted on holding the wedding only after the Buda Clan became famous in the continent, Kun couldn't oppose it. Now, the time had finally come.
Laura and the others were also very happy. Now that Zhao Hai brought them out, he could only introduce them as his fiancee, this made them very uncomfortable. But now, they were finally going to get married.
Today, Merine was also invited to the living room. Naturally, Merine was the happiest one, she smiled and said, "Young Master, this is great. Tomorrow, we'll pay our respects to the Master and the others and tell them the good news."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, after we set the date, Grandpa Green, Grandpa Kun, you can prepare the invitations. I'll also ask Grandpa Randolph to prepare the invitations."
Green happily said, "Alright, Young Master, when are you going to set the date?"
Zhao Hai understood what Green meant, Green wanted to set the date a bit later so that they could prepare the invitations. This way, more people would come, making the wedding more grand. However, Zhao Hai didn't have time to do this right now, he looked at Green and said, "Grandpa Green, I want to do it as soon as possible. This is because I need to go to the Prairie after some time. Also, the business with the Fishman Race can't be neglected. I want to finish the wedding, then we can do these things. Therefore, the date can't be too late."
Green thought for a moment and then nodded, "That's good, the grass sprouts are about to appear in the prairie, it wouldn't be good if we go later. Alright, let's go as soon as possible. Right, I think you should discuss the date with Patriarch Randolph before deciding. In any case, we should respect his wishes. Quinn John, what do you think?"
Quinn John nodded, then he smiled and said, "Alright, I won't oppose it. Let's go back and tell Karen about this. Right, this invitation must include the Markey Dell Clan. I want to see what kind of reaction they will have after receiving this invitation. If they still want to mess around, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Green snorted and said, "They dare? Do they think that our Buda Clan is still the same as before? Now that they're messing around, I want to see. Hmph, this time, the wedding must be big and beautiful. We need to let everyone in the continent know about it. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I also have the same idea. We can't let Laura and the others be wronged. If it weren't for this, then the wedding would have already been held. This time, we need to make it big. I think we should set the location in the castle. Grandpa Green, what do you think?"
