My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

After the sales of perfume got on the right track, the income of the palace suddenly skyrocketed. The merchants who came to buy not only included merchants from Chang'an, but also merchants from other places, including Persia, Dashi, Tianzhu, Chenla and other countries. Merchants, there is really a lot of traffic in front of the Prince Liang's Mansion, and the water can't get through.

Seeing such a grand occasion, Tong Nian felt regretful and didn't eat for a few days, but Li Yin still left him a way of making money. The perfume sold by Liang Wang's mansion was ten bottles a bottle. Years can still earn a difference.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, the sales figures for the past few days have been calculated for you. Local merchants bought Wangfu perfume with a total of 64,000 copper coins, and foreign merchants bought 61,200 copper coins." Su Morer took Read a book.

"Not bad!" Li Yin was a little surprised. He didn't expect the purchasing power of those foreigners to be so high. Seeing that the gate of the palace was crowded with blond foreigners, Li Yin asked Su Mo'er to separate the data on selling perfumes, in order to Looking at the pockets of these foreign businessmen, the result was beyond his expectation, almost equally.

According to historical research, the total economic output of the Tang Dynasty accounted for 60% of the world at that time. So the economic aggregate is not that high.

   "Foreigners can do business!" Li Yin understood the data and thought in his heart that their money is not profitable.

  Perfume matters aside, the Xiaoshanaozhong workshop has been completed, and the equipment purchased by Li Yin has also arrived, and we can start work as soon as the artisans arrive.

As for the artisan matter, Li Yin had a hard time, so he could find some random people. He was worried that he would not be able to keep a secret, but where could he find someone who could not tell the truth, but Li Yin had no choice but to recruit those three families to ask for advice. After all, they also have a share, and they cannot monopolize this matter.

   "It's not easy, just buy some private slaves!" Xiao Rui said without even thinking about it.

   "Private slave!"

   "Xiao Rui is right, we can't afford to buy some official slaves from the Ministry of Industry!" Lu Boyan echoed.

   "It's okay to buy private slaves, let's forget about official slaves. If there are secrets arranged by someone else, all our secrets will not be stolen!" Cheng Huailiang's words are very reasonable.

During the Tang Dynasty, the slave system left over from Xia and Shang still remained, and these slaves can be divided into official slaves and private slaves. Among them, official slaves are mostly confiscated criminals, supervised by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of Shangshu Province, and private slaves are mainly from self-sale The poor peasants themselves and the people who have been plundered and sold, whether they are official slaves or private slaves, their status is very low, and they are the private property of the buyer, no different from livestock. The number of his own private slaves also accounts for one of them.

I was born in a society that advocates humanitarianism, but I have to do as the Romans do when I enter the village here, and the treatment of these private slaves in the hands of Li Yin must be better than that in the hands of other princes and nobles. After figuring this out, Li Yin did not say anything What, agreed to buy private slaves.

Where there is business, there is a market. Slave trading was also a legitimate industry in the Tang Dynasty, and was protected by the law "Tang Law Shuyi". There was a formal slave market in West Market. After the agreement, the four went west Go to the city to select craftsmen for the workshop.

Horse-drawn carriages must pass through the famous Zhuque Avenue in Chang'an from the East Market to the West Market. This street is the central axis of Chang'an City and separates the east and west cities. And weeping willows, it was also the first time for Li Yin to pass Zhuque Avenue. On the way, he opened the curtains and watched the scenery recorded in the history books, amazed.

  Compared to the East Market, the West Market is no less prosperous. The streets are full of people and vendors gather. At the southeast corner of the West Market, the carriage stopped.

  In front of them was an open-air square about thirty-five meters long and wide. The square was full of unkempt slaves kneeling, and some people who looked like housekeepers picked and picked among these slaves from time to time.

Seeing the four sons getting off the luxurious carriage, a slave trader walked over with a fawning smile, "Masters, what do you need? We have all kinds of slaves, coolies, maidservants, and others." New virgin!" Said virgin, the slave trader laughed wretchedly.

   "Oh? What's there, let me see it!" Lu Boyan couldn't help eating shit, and his eyes lit up immediately.

   "Look here, gentlemen!" The slave trader pointed to a row of four kneeling girls aged twelve or thirteen, "These four are newcomers, and they are all of the best looks!"

  Compared to other slaves, these four girls are gorgeously dressed and their faces are clean, apparently carefully groomed by slave traders.

   "You're too young!" Lu Boyan still had a conscience.

  The slave owner smiled awkwardly, "My lord, you don't understand now, girls at this age are all bestsellers, it's more considerate to raise them for a few years!"

   "Get down to business!" Li Yin interjected at the right time, and Lu Boyan said seriously, "We want to buy some servants!"

   "Over there, choose for yourself!" The slave trader suddenly lost interest, the price of servants was low, and the profit was low, so he naturally didn't care.

Following the direction pointed by the slave trader, Li Yin glanced at the men and women kneeling on the ground. These people were all sallow, skinny, nutritious, staring at the ground with lifeless eyes, perhaps since they sold themselves. From that moment on, they lose hope in life.

   Naturally, strong people were selected for work. Four people were selected separately in the slave market. According to Li Yin's intention, these slaves were half male and half male. The three were puzzled, and Li Yin didn't explain it.

In order to meet the needs of the three workshops, they bought 500 slaves at one go this time. Each slave was basically about one or two silver. The horse has to be sold for four copper coins.

  So many slaves went back, in order to prevent any change, Cheng Huailiang called the servants from home to **** these slaves back. Li Yin was about to go back when he suddenly saw two familiar figures.

   These are two women, one wearing a long green skirt and the other wearing a red skirt, walking together, looking at those twelve or thirteen-year-old girls one by one in the slave market, they are Su Moer and Yuner.

   "Why are you here?" Li Yin stepped forward and asked.

   Seeing Li Yin, the two saluted, and Yun'er said carelessly, "I am accompanying sister Yun'er to find her sister?"

   "You still have a younger sister!" Li Yin was surprised.

Su Mo'er's eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Your Highness, Mo'er has a younger sister who is not yet ten years old. I think she may have been robbed and sold to human traffickers, so I come here every day with a glimmer of hope. Check it out!"

"That's it, you don't have to be sad. When you go back, you can recall your sister's appearance and draw it. I will send someone to check here every day. You don't have to come here every day. After all, there are all kinds of people here. Too dangerous!"

  Yun'er turned aside and said: "Your Highness is really biased, don't you worry that Yun'er will be in danger?"

  Su Mo'er blushed and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

   Li Yan was just out of normal concern for his subordinates, but Yun'er made a fuss so embarrassing for both of them, he couldn't help but glared at Yuner.

   Just as he was about to be reprimanded, Lu Boyan's exaggerated voice suddenly came, "Miss Luo, why are you here?"
