Chapter 89 Slave Market
At night, a few people found an inn. Today they inquired about many things. In just five years, they were torn apart and divided by neighboring countries.

The emperor of Daqi was shot to death in the palace of the capital city, and the royal family and nobles were reduced to prisoners.

The people of Daqi were reduced to slaves, treated as cattle and horses by people from other countries, and sold at will.

Now their status is at risk and they must get a road guide or proof of residence.

An Ran took a shower, lay on the bed with A Ling, looked down from the window, there were many people on the street still setting up the night market.

"Sister A Ling, let's go down and have a look."

An Ran put on her clothes and shoes, she wanted to see what the market outside looked like.

"You are not allowed to run around now. If you go shopping, you will come back immediately. Do you hear me?"

Father Wang told a few people and asked Lei Jian to keep an eye on two people. He was going to do some work and pawned the valuable things in his hands to see where he could get a household registration.

"Little sister, please hold me tight. There are many people here. Don't get lost."

Li Aling and Lei Jian each held her hand, for fear that she might get lost.

Compared with the previous Mengtang Town, there is a night market here selling food and household items. It is not a dazzling array, but there are only a few varieties.

"Look at it! Just look at it!"

An Ran was attracted by the cries, and saw a few people, male and female, tied to a thick wooden stake like a dog.

"This is not bad. Look at the appearance, the teeth are also good. Buying it back can not only work but also serve you."

The seller was a big man with a full face. He grabbed the woman's head and brushed away the loose hair so that everyone could see her face clearly. Then he tore off the skin of the woman's mouth so that everyone could see if her teeth were in order.

"Five taels of silver, big brother is not bad, this woman looks good." The man with a stern face said a few words in the housekeeper's ear, with a lewd smile on his face.

An Ran guessed that they were all swear words, but she didn't expect that there were more than one shop here, and the entire street here was doing this business, and it was very popular.

Any one of them treats people like livestock for business, bargaining with their mouths.

The wooden piles here are all at fixed intervals, which is a special slave market.

As long as the price of the slave who is in love is reached, the seller will take off the chain and hand it over to the buyer.

If the slave who resisted and struggled was disobedient, he would be beaten up, and after being beaten, he would be honest.

An Ran discovered that every chained person had a brand on their arm or face, and the word "slave" was branded on it.

Perhaps due to poor technique, some people had burns on their faces, which were then branded on other places.

"Look, pick whatever you want." A woman pulled Lei Jian to recommend some beautiful slave girls.

"That's good, take a look!" The woman casually picked up a girl and pulled her scalp.

"Head up!"

The girl was forced to raise her head, tears streaking her clean face, looking very charming.

Lei simply waved his hand, he didn't want it!
The woman saw that she was useless, and didn't sell any of them today, so she spat out, "I just gave birth to melon eggs, and I don't even care about how you wear them, so my old lady thinks highly of you."

"All of you, especially you! Cry, cry, cry! I've lost all my money, and if you cry and cry again, you can't find a buyer. Don't eat tonight. I'll starve to death, you little goblin. I'll tell you, if you don't If you can’t sell it for a good price, you’ll just throw it at me, you know the black kiln, where my mother told you to go to make money.”

After just such a stroll, An Ran felt a little sad and indignant. What was sad was the suffering of the people in the defeated country, and what was angry was the annihilation of human nature and the loss of morality.

"Brother Jian, let's go back, I don't want to go shopping anymore."

Lei Jianjian picked up the little girl who was as tall as his own thigh, and was finally tired from shopping. You must know that he was held back by several women, who insisted on asking him to buy someone.

"Why have you wandered around for so long, go back to your room first." Wang Yongping took the little girl, and they went upstairs.

"Grandpa, did you get any money in exchange? If it's not enough, there's more here."

An Ran put out big gold bracelets, there were two, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.

"It's changed, the previous bank notes can no longer be used, but the silver can still be used."

Dad Wang took out the money he had exchanged, and he only exchanged 100 taels. The 1000 taels of silver notes he had before could no longer be used. The bank notes of Da Dian were used outside, but the silver was universal currency.

"I found someone, and he said that he can help us get a household registration for 100 taels, but we must have a land deed here."

That person has connections in the government, and he takes this private route to earn some money, and at the same time, he has to give filial money to those who work in the government.

"Then shall we still buy a house and land here?"

Father Wang touched the little girl's head, what he meant, he heard that the war had been fought for two years, the land earned by several countries did not share the benefits, and after the destruction of Daqi, several countries divided each other because of the uneven division. After playing for several years, it was only in the last few years that we stabilized and recuperated.

"Tomorrow, I will go to see if there is a suitable place to buy some land. I will settle it early to save worry, and I am afraid that there will be changes." Wang Yongping offered to run errands.

"Let's buy another storefront and open a department store." An Ran suggested. A department store can sell a lot of things, including food, just like a supermarket. Start this business and slowly accumulate original capital.

"We settled down here, and we will pick up the mother and the others in winter. We will use the mountain as our base, and let the uncle build it into a cottage. I see so many slaves outside. We can buy them and bring them back to the cottage for repair. Defense and farming, we outside will develop outside power.”

Father Wang nodded. He already understood what his granddaughter meant. He said that he would support her unconditionally.

After just resting for one night, Father Wang took Yinzi and Wang Yongping to deal with the household registration and land deed.

The three of them met in a private room of a big restaurant, saw that there was a lot of money, and the person opposite was also very straightforward, and took the two of them to the back door to do business.

You must know that this time is the time of chaos, and the order has not been established. The officials of the state capital are what they say, and his rules are the rules.

"The shops here are all empty. Look at which one you see in the photo. Although the location here is a bit off, there are many residents around it."

The shops in this section are all for sale by the government. They were built by slaves in the abandoned city. Nowadays, several shops have been sold, and the money earned from the sales belongs to the government treasury.

For the land and real estate in the Daqi area, all the land and real estate were collected by Dadian as state-owned, part of which was rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and part of it was sold by the government.

Seeing that the clothes of several people were plain, the local officials of the government did not look like rich people, so they introduced the houses in the most remote areas and the worst houses to them.

"Give us this section." An Ran pointed to this row of shops. They are not short of money now.

The local official laughed and said, "You little girl, do you know how much these cost? It's thousands of taels of silver. You just want it."

An Ran is a small person, and only regards what she says as a child's ignorance.

"That's all, let's go get the title deed."

The local official's hand holding the booklet was unsteady. He must have heard something correctly. He wanted all these. He looked at the people again in disbelief.

It's hard to miss it!
