GOR Chapter 174 Part 2: Clever Little Devil
After saying that, Du Wei walked forward. Ruo Lin glanced at the clever kid and casually pulled out a coin from her pocket and tossed it over. Sandy's agile hands immediately caught the coin – this was an action that he was very familiar with. Apparently, he had to repeat this action several times a day. However, after catching the heavy coin, his pair of eyes immediately turned round!
He spat out a mouthful of saliva and rubbed it hard. Then, he carefully examined it before biting it with his teeth …
It is actually gold?!
Sandy was pleasantly surprised. He immediately realized that he had met a big shot today!
In the past, the customers he served would at most give him a few copper horns. Those who were more generous would at most give him a silver coin.
But this was actually a gold coin!
A gold coin was enough for his family of three to live for more than a month! Additionally, it could also allow his father to drink a small cup of the cheapest ale every day. He could also buy a pair of old leather boots as he wished!
Quickly stuffing the coin into his pocket, Sandy did his best to catch up to Du Wei. With a fawning expression, he worked hard beside him.
"Are you very familiar with this place? Then let me ask you, if I want to buy a few slaves, where should I go first? "
"That would depend on what you want to do with the slaves." After receiving the money, Sandy did not hold back in his work. His small and thin body did not appear to be obstructed in the slightest as he moved nimbly like a loach. The words coming out from his mouth were quick and clear: "If you want to buy a few maids, I suggest you go to the official slave market. The slaves there are all from big families. They have received training and know the etiquette of the upper class. Buying them back would not cause you to lose face. If you only need a few coolies, then I can recommend you a few good places. Listening to your accent, you don't seem to be someone from the Imperial Capital? "After saying that, Sandy slyly probed with a question.
But this time, this clever little guy guessed wrong.
Du Wei's accent was indeed somewhat different from the accent of the Imperial Capital. That was because he was born in the Rollin Family. Because of the tradition of the Rollin Family, the people of the Rollin Family, including the old Earl Raymond, all spoke with the accent of the Rollin Plains. And since Du Wei had lived in the Rollin Plains for a year, the traces of his accent had become even heavier.
Seeing that Du Wei didn't say anything, Sandy immediately lowered his voice and said: "Then I want to remind you that in this place, although all transactions are permitted and protected by the Empire's laws, an outsider like you should still pay attention to some rules. In particular, there are some people you can't afford to offend. They are all influential people in the imperial capital … Last month, there were a few foreign merchants who quarreled with a butler of an aristocratic family in the imperial capital in order to buy two beautiful female slaves. In the end, they were severely taught a lesson and thrown into the moat outside the city! "
Seeing that this little god of wealth still didn't speak, Sandy's heart was somewhat uncertain, so he hurriedly explained: "Generally speaking, the slaves here are divided into several classes. The first class, the most expensive, of course, are the official slaves. Some of the original rich families were convicted of crimes and had their property confiscated. Their family members were deprived of their status as free people and became slaves. Those official slaves are the most popular. I heard that recently, there were several fallen noble families' daughters and concubines who became slaves. The day before yesterday, during the auction, several buyers almost fought over them … Alas, everyone wants to buy a noble family's daughter back to be a slave. That way, they would have a lot of face in the future. "
Du Wei's brows slightly wrinkled. He knew very well who the "recently fallen noble families" this kid was talking about. To be precise, his own Rollin family also fell recently. It was only because of his existence that his family didn't suffer the tragic fate of becoming slaves.
Sandy continued: "In addition to the official slaves, the second class of slaves are the barbarians from the Northwest. Those guys are all strong and have a lot of strength. They are absolutely good at work. But if you buy those people back to do manual labor, then it would be too wasteful. "
"Why?" Du Wei finally asked. This made Sandy feel relieved. He hurriedly said: "Because the greatest value of those barbarians from the Northwest is not the manual labor. But … Horse rearing! Those barbarians from the Northwest are especially good at rearing horses, riding horses, and taking care of livestock. If your family has a ranch, then buy a few barbarians from the Northwest and bring them back to work. I guarantee that your ranch will have a lot of harvest next year! "
Du Wei nodded.
"However, although these barbarians are good slaves, you still have to be very careful when buying them. Those guys are particularly wild, irritable, and difficult to discipline. They especially like to run away. If you don't send people to guard them, they may run away like a swarm of bees. Those guys are fierce desperadoes, they don't care about their lives when fighting. "
"And?"
"And then there's the third class … … The third class are people from our empire, but they're all poor people who can't make a living. Most of them don't have any skills, but these people are very honest. As long as they have food to eat, they're very loyal to their masters and won't run away. It is also very convenient to discipline them. "
When Sandy said this, his face showed a sigh that didn't match his age. He couldn't help but whisper: "Alas, in this day and age, if it isn't for the fact that they can't survive, no one is willing to sell themselves as a slave."
Du Wei looked at this kid again.
"Finally, there are those guys from the Southeast. Those natives are the cheapest slaves here, and they have the most slaves. But these people, if you want to buy them, you have to choose carefully. Because there is always a mix of good and bad. Those black-hearted slave traders would always sell a strong slave along with a few old, weak, or young ones. These natives are divided into several types. The best ones are those who have lived in the empire for many years or even several generations. These people can speak our empire's language, and even if they can't speak, they can still understand it. It is also convenient to buy them back. These people are called 'mature slaves'. But there is another type, those who have just been caught by the empire's army. They can't speak our language, don't know anything, and always want to run away. Such slaves are generally called 'raw slaves'. In terms of price, generally speaking, raw slaves are much cheaper than mature slaves. Of course, if it is a particularly beautiful female slave, the price is hard to say. "
At this point, Sandy suddenly turned around and shouted at the two or three dirty boys who were quietly approaching Du-Wei: "Get out of the way, Dick! This is my guest! Don't you see me here? If you want to do business, go elsewhere! "
With just a glance, the two or three kids were already standing only three to five steps away from Du-Wei. Seeing Sandy's shout, the tallest guy among them couldn't help but curse: "Sandy, you little liar! You always ruin my business! "
After that, he unwillingly looked at Du Wei and Ruo Lin, then turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
Sandy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't worry about those guys, they are the golden fingers who make a living on this street. But with me here, they won't trouble you. But you still have to be careful, there are a lot of golden fingers here. "
Du Wei glanced at Ruo Lin. He was not worried about these thieves at all. Although Ruo Lin's strength was not a master, but against these street thugs, hundreds of them were not a problem. And his strength was needless to say. But he was more and more curious about this kid: "Those guys just now, are they all thieves?"
"Shh!!" Sandy's face changed and he quickly whispered: "Don't say that! Don't call them 'thieves', if those guys hear it, they will think it is an insult and will come to trouble you. Even if we mention these guys, we have to call them 'golden fingers'. This is the rule of the underworld. "
Du Wei laughed in his heart and then said: "But you ruined their business, won't they come to trouble you?"
"Humph." Sandy curled his lips: "We all grew up together on this street, fighting since childhood. The people here, even if they want to bully others, they will only bully outsiders. Generally, they will not lay their hands on our own people. And … my brother used to be a small leader, for my brother's sake, they will not make things difficult for me. Everyone is just trying to make a living, no one will really hate each other … and, you see, there are a lot of outsiders here every day, they don't have to worry about business. "
In fact, Sandy's words were half true and half false. He made a lot of money by doing this business, but he also offended a few golden fingers. Although he said that they all grew up on the same street and would not really fall out, but he was still beaten up a few times. But every time he could earn a few copper coins, even if he was beaten up a few times, it was still worth it.
And today he actually got a gold coin, even if he was beaten up by those guys when he went back, Sandy felt that it was very worth it.
