Chapter Twenty-Four: Aya, the Princess of the Dead Country "This is the human market."
Li Zhen came to the human market with curiosity, but found that the human market was completely different from what he imagined, and in his impression, the human market should be a representative of dirty and messy, and it may even be inferior to the vegetable market and livestock market.
But now it looks different, although it can't be said to be clean, but it's not messy.
"Zhen'er, why do you have to run back and forth to the human market as soon as you leave the palace?"
Yan Jingsi's sweat had already come out, he originally thought that Li Zhen wanted to come outside to see and see, and he even planned the tourist route, who wanted Li Zhen to come out The first thing was to run to the city.
You must know that those who dare to come to the market are either to buy slaves or to sell slaves.
It's just a matter of buying slaves, the slave traders are all outlaws, if they fall in love with Li Zhen and kidnap him, then dozens of people in their own family are not enough for the emperor to kill alone.
Therefore, even if he knew that there was a master in the dark to protect him, Yan Jingsi still didn't dare to be careless, holding Li Zhen's hand was already wet, and his clothes were all soaked, although the reason for Qiu Laohu was not ruled out, but the most important thing was psychological tension.
"Uncle, don't be so nervous."
Li Zhen's eyes bent into crescent moons: "I'm just curious about what the human market is like, and I just want to come over and take a look." ” "Then you've seen it, let's go back, shall we?"
Yan Jingsi didn't want to stay in this kind of place for a moment.
"How's that going to work?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "How can there be a reason to go to the human market and return empty-handed, and I heard that there are slaves from Daqin (Rome) here, I haven't seen Daqin people yet, so I have to buy a few back." ” "Okay."
Yan Jingsi had a bitter face, he knew that he wouldn't take this job, where did he bring a nephew?
This is clearly with an ancestor, and the next time I die, I won't take this job, who I love.
"Hey, there's an auction of slaves up ahead."
Li Zhen's eyes were better, and at a glance, he saw a bunch of people gathered in the distance: "Uncle, let's go and have a look, maybe we can buy good slaves." ” "Okay, okay."
Yan Jingsi had no choice but to carry Li Zhen to the crowd gathering place.
Similar to what Li Zhen guessed, a slave auction was going on here, and I saw a blonde and blue-eyed interracial girl with an iron chain around her neck, her eyes were full of tears.
The other end of the chain was held in the hands of the people, and he was spitting saliva to the people in the audience and introduced: "This Miss Aya is from the extreme west of Great Qin, and it is said that she is the princess of a small country.
She can sing and dance, can play eighteen musical instruments, knows several languages, and is even more rare that this princess is a chick.
Without further ado, the starting price is 150 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 100 yuan. ” "I'm out one hundred and fifty consistently."
"Old fellow, you're stingy too, I'm one hundred and fifty-two."
"You're no better, are you?
One hundred and fifty-five runs. ” "One hundred and sixty times, the beauty is mine."
"Hmph, are you embarrassed to take out such a little money and be embarrassed?
I want one hundred and sixty-two. ” "One hundred and seventy times, I think who is still fighting with me?"
“......”
It seems that everyone is very excited about this Aya princess, and the price has risen all the way, and soon it will come to two hundred and thirty yuan.
You must know that this was in the early Tang Dynasty, and money was still very valuable.
"New Tang Dynasty Book" volume 51 "Food and Goods Chronicles" says: "Zhenguan Chu......
A horse of silk, a bucket of rice. ” Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" volume 193 said: "It is the year (four years of Zhenguan) when the world is a great minor, and the diaspora returns to their hometowns, and the rice bucket is only three or four dollars. ” "New Tang Book" volume 79 "Wei Zheng Biography" also says: "The emperor (Taizong) ascended the throne for four years......
Mi bucket three money. ” It's now three years of Zhenguan, which means that a bucket of rice is only about three or four yuan, and this slave catching team has already earned a lot of money just by relying on this Aya princess.
At this time, there were only four people in the field who were still raising the price, and Li Zhen felt that she should make a move, and raised the sign in her hand: "Two hundred and fifty runs." ” Yan Jingsi was taken aback: "Zhen'er, why are you buying her?"
” "We'll talk about it later."
Li Zhentou didn't reply, he brought a lot of money when he left the palace, just for this moment.
At this time, everyone also noticed the little fart who reported two hundred and fifty times, and scolded one after another: "Where is the little bart, get out of here." ” "Isn't this a mess?"
"That's it, even if you give this woman to you, do you use it?"
"Hahaha......"
As soon as the man spoke, everyone present burst into laughter.
"Li Ergou!"
Now Li Zhen's biggest pain is that he is not old enough to cause trouble to the girls, so as soon as this person spoke, Li Zhen instantly exploded his hair and summoned the personal bodyguard sent to him by Li Shimin.
"Childe."
The personal bodyguard Li Ergou appeared.
"Call me, as long as you don't kill me."

Li Zhen pointed at the man.
"Yes."
Li Ergou led two of his men to drag the man out of the crowd and beat him violently.
Listening to the screams, Li Zhen was finally happy, and looked around the crowd: "I will pay two hundred and fifty yuan, will anyone pay a higher price?"
” The crowd shook their heads in unison, joking, with the screams coming from outside from time to time, who would dare to mess with you?
"Okay, two hundred and fifty times, Aya is this son's."
The people are also very happy, and they make decisions directly.
"Next is ......"
Next, Li Zhen photographed a mercenary from the Western Regions and a Kunlun Nu Hercules, that is, black Hercules.
On the way back, Yan Jingsi looked at the three slaves who were led by Li Ergou behind him and said, "Zhen'er, you can buy this mercenary and Hercules, you are so young, what are you buying that Aya for, is it ......?"
Li Zhen couldn't cry or laugh: "Uncle, what are you thinking?"
You don't want to think about it, I'm only three years old. ” "And what do you want to do?"
Li Zhen said: "Uncle, you also heard from that person, this Aya is also well-read, and what is even more rare is that he is proficient in several languages, this is a talent." ” Who knows how different there is between the current Western language and the language of later generations, and having Aya is equivalent to having a foreign language teacher.
And she is also a princess of a dead country, which means that she can use this reason to intervene in the West by force, seize land, and colonize Europe in the future.
"Okay, okay, but where are you going to put them?"
"It's even simpler."
Li Zhen shook her head and said, "I have so many shops, are you still afraid that there will be no place to live?"
” "Yes, but my uncle can tell you, don't come nonsense." "......"
Li Zhen looked at the sky speechlessly, is my brother so like a messy person?
Anyway, I'm afraid that I'm just trying to mess around, and I'm powerless, right?
The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, which made Aya who was following behind breathe a sigh of relief, she could also understand Chinese, and knew that she was safe for the time being.
