Chapter 174 Slave Market
When people have no money, they want to have money, but they can't get it, and they are very worried. If one day you get lucky and get rich overnight, you have never experienced such a rich life, and you have a lot of money in your hands but you don't know how to spend it, and your worries will add to your worries.
Fortunately, Caesar doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing. There are too many places to spend money in the Eternal City. As long as you think about it, spending two billion Baileys in the Eternal City in one day is not a dream at all.
Waking up early in the morning, Caesar hurriedly woke up the three who were still sound asleep. Under the urging, the three tidied up casually, and were taken out by Caesar, the host.
Today, Caesar planned to spend a while extravagantly, and headed straight for the Eternal City, the largest slave market, with a few people.
Regardless of when the Gladiator Empire was, it had always been a slave state. The resident population of the Eternal City is about 1.5 million, and slaves account for 900,000. In such a situation, it is really unreasonable to say that the Gladiator Empire is not a slavery country.
The sources of slaves in the Gladiator Empire were mostly prisoners of war. Carthage, Iberus, and Collins, all of which were governed by the Gladiator Empire, provided them with many slaves.
Of course, the slaves of the Gladiator Empire cannot be said to be all prisoners of war. Many poor people living in the Eternal City had to sell themselves to slave owners because their lives were unsustainable, and they became a member of many slave armies.
Behind the seemingly brilliant Eternal City, there is never a lack of darkness and cruelty. If you do well, you will have great scenery, but if you do not do well, it is common to become a slave. And this extreme differentiation has been rooted in the hearts of every Eternal City person.
No matter how easy Caesar seemed to get along with, he was still an aristocrat at heart. When he had money, he naturally wanted to buy some slaves to fill his aristocratic face.
As a nobleman in the Eternal City, he didn't have many slaves around him, so he was too embarrassed to go out and say hello. What's more, there are many slaves in captivity, who are specially trained to train their slaves and send them to the Eternal City Grand Arena, thinking that they can earn enough Bailey to squander.
In the Eternal City, in the bustling slave market, the slave owner got up early and started his day's work. With a whip in his hand, he drove the sallow and emaciated slaves to the platform for the guests. After the slaves stood on the booth, the slave owners took out the ropes and tied the slaves on the booth, and today's business was officially started.
Like many aristocrats in the slave market, Caesar and his party wandered among the many booths, carefully selecting the slaves they needed.
A few people walked to a store where the slaves seemed to be in good condition. Caesar said enthusiastically, "It's rare to come to the Eternal City. Would you like to buy a few slaves and take them back? It would be a worthwhile trip."
"Master, buy me."
Before a few people could speak, the slaves standing on the booth began to promote themselves enthusiastically. A strong middle-aged man said to several people: "I am different from them. My kingdom was captured and was sent to the Eternal City and became a slave. Buying me will definitely give you something Worth, at least, I can win a few victories in the Grand Arena and bring you wealth."
"I don't need slaves, win me any wealth in the arena." Zhou Yixian felt the strength of the other party from the other party, even if he bought the slave in front of him, even if he didn't use it for other purposes, it must be a thing for the other party's strength It was worth it, but he still shook his head and refused.
Although he knows that in this dark place of the world, there are slaves who are auctioned off like commodities in the auction house. But he knew that most of those so-called slaves were not his own choice, but were brutally trapped by human traffickers and forced to become slaves involuntarily.
And like the Eternal City, Zhou Yixian really couldn't accept the blatant and blatant listing of fresh lives with clearly marked prices.
Even if he knew that they didn't mind their identities, Zhou Xian didn't want to buy any slaves. Zhou Yixian is not the Virgin Mary, and he has to end the slavery system in the Eternal City as his mission, and he does not have the ability.
The only thing he can do is not choose to participate in it, which is already the limit of what he can do.
"Master, buy me. I don't know how to fight, but I can do many things for you." Zhou Yi Xiancai rejected the strong middle-aged man, a good-looking woman, and her eyes hinted that she couldn't wait. Caesar and Zhou Yixian promoted themselves.
She is confident, relying on her looks, the two men who understood what she said might be tempted to buy her for a while.
It was no wonder that she wanted to humiliate herself like this, it was all because in the eyes of the slave owners, they were just a group of "talking tools". As long as they were guaranteed not to starve to death, whatever they wanted to do with their slaves was allowed by the laws of the Gladiator Empire.
Abuse, beating, and humiliation accompanied the woman in front of Zhou Xian all the time, and successfully sold herself, which became a good way for the woman in front of Zhou Xian to get out of the sea of suffering.
Of course, she also kept an eye out, not every time a customer came, she would take the initiative to sell herself. The two men in front of her didn't look like bad people in her eyes. She was eager to get rid of the brutal slave owner, so she couldn't wait to actively sell herself.
"It's rare, you learned to take the initiative to sell yourself, I saved some energy, and don't need to use the whip to make you remember better." The slave owner saw the woman's active performance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"How much, I bought it." Caesar said.
Caesar planned to buy the woman in front of him, but it wasn't that he fell in love with the woman in front of him. Caesar, who was used to seeing beautiful women, naturally wouldn't covet her beauty. The reason for this is all because he is rich and powerful now, and he only wants to spend quickly in his heart.
Caesar is nothing but rich now.
The slave owner has been operating in the slave market for so long, and he can tell at a glance that Caesar is definitely a big fat sheep. It has been a long time since he has encountered such a ready buyer in the slave market. The slave owner who originally thought he could sell the woman for 50,000 Baileys immediately doubled the price.
In order to justify the price, the slave owner said: "In the slave market, slaves with a face like her are rare."
"Don't talk nonsense, I bought it, take the money, and give it to me." Caesar didn't seem to want to listen to the slave owner's words, so he directly interrupted the slave owner's bragging, took out a hundred thousand Baileys from his pocket, and into the hands of slave owners.
"Okay, she'll be yours from now on." The slave owner didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward, facing the 100,000 Baileys handed over by Caesar, he wouldn't accept it for a while, and it wouldn't matter if he didn't accept it.
There is a local rule in each place. The buyer has already paid the agreed price, and slaves are not allowed to go back on their word. After hesitating for a while, the slave owner took Bailey from Caesar's hand, untied the rope on the woman, and handed her over to Caesar.
The slave owner knew that he had lost money on the deal.
"You really don't want to buy it?" Caesar took the rope, knowing that Zhou Yixian didn't like slaves very much, "No, we don't need it."
Eve and Xingye rejected Caesar's proposal at the same time.
The identities of the two of them destined them not to have too much aversion to the slave market. Originally planning to buy some good slaves, the two found that Zhou Yixian had been unhappy since he came to the slave market, as if he hated the existence of the slave market very much. Concerned about each other's emotions, the two rejected Caesar straight away.
"Both of you, just buy it if you want it. Existence is reasonable, so don't worry about me." Zhou Yixian, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have sensed Xingye and Eve's thoughts, and took the initiative to explain to them: "Didn't Caesar already bought it?" Is it a slave? I didn't say much. Being able to change one's destiny through one's own efforts is something worthy of recognition."
The few people present understood that the person Zhou Yi talked about changing his destiny through hard work was naturally the woman bought by Caesar. After hearing Zhou Xian's words, the woman who had just been bought by Caesar vaguely felt that the man who spoke in front of them was the backbone of the crowd. He seemed to be more disgusted with the slave trade.
Fortunately, the other party didn't say anything to stop him. The woman who was thinking this way gave Zhou Xian a grateful look. Facing the grateful eyes of the woman, Zhou Yi shook his head indifferently.
One's fate is in one's own hands. The reason why she was bought by Caesar was that Zhou Yixian didn't feel that she was helpful to him.
Zhou Yixian just couldn't get used to it for a while. The scene of people being sold like livestock with a clearly marked price does not mean that he opposes other people's buying and selling.
A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. As Eve and Xingye, it is a rare opportunity to come to the Eternal City and buy a group of powerful slaves, which will also be of great help to their respective countries. Many prisoners of war have been tempered by the war for a long time, and they are much stronger than the soldiers of many kingdoms. If they buy a batch, they will come in handy soon.
In what position, what problems are considered. As Xingye and Eve, they naturally had to think about their own country, so Zhou Yixian encouraged them to buy a batch of slaves and send them to their own country.
"Then let's buy a batch of prisoners of war."
Hearing Zhou Yixian's words, Xingye and Eve were a little moved. Knowing that Zhou Yixian would not be disgusted, the two immediately asked the slave owner in front of them, where they could buy a batch of good prisoners of war.
Big customers, definitely big customers.
The slave owner in front of them realized that the two beautiful young women in front of him were the ones he wanted to focus on. Immediately, he put aside Caesar in front of him, stopped his enthusiastic sales promotion, and walked in front of Xingye and Eve with a flattering smile on his face.
As a businessman, if you change your face, you will change your face.
Caesar, who had only experienced the treatment of a big tycoon for a while, suddenly became unhappy on his face, thinking in his heart, do you have no money?
Come on, just you, how much purchasing power can you have.
Please open up a little bit, don't get in the way of my business.
He ignored the other party's dissatisfied eyes, even though the other party had just taken care of him for a deal before, the slave owner still squeezed Caesar who was standing in front of him, and enthusiastically said to Xingye and Eve: "If you two need prisoners of war, You don’t need to go to another house, the younger one can serve you two.”
Looking at the slave owner, it must be right to buy a prisoner of war to find me. With a confident look, Xingye and Eve don't bother to go to another house anymore.
