Playful and cute concubine

Chapter 402 Ghost Slave 2
At this time, Zhenlongfang in Xicheng was densely populated, and the moat passed through Xicheng.When going to and from the painting boat, I heard light songs and graceful dances, the sound of silk and bamboo.

The city is full of colorful lights, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers is endless, as if it were daytime.

"Master, look, the market over there has started!" Linglong danced excitedly, pointing to the noisy crowd not far away. "Li Luo, hurry up!"

Just now, for some reason, the princess had to go back to the Duke's mansion, and she asked Li Luo to follow her, and more importantly, Li Luo's attire...

Linglong looked at Li Luo who was wearing a tulle turban a little strangely.

"Stay with me and don't go far." Xi Lingmo whispered again, and Li Luo nodded.Compared with Linglong, she was more thoughtful and could vaguely guess something.

"It doesn't matter if there is nothing to do, if someone has to come to seek death..." Xi Lingmo touched his chin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't say much.

These days, people often ran up to her to make a fool of herself, even if one or two people died, they still came!
That idiot caused a lot of trouble for Fenghuan before she returned to Fenghuan. Back then, she thought that marrying a foolish son of a businessman would lead a leisurely life, but she never thought it would be so miserable!
She was in vain for all her cleverness, miscalculation!

Everywhere is exhausting!

"Look! Look! There is a ghost seller in front!"

"Really? Go and see!"

There were crowds all around, crowded at night, no one thought she would run out, but no one paid special attention to her, giving her the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to watch the excitement.

"Ghost slave? Hey! Master, let's go and have a look too!" Excitedly, Linglong stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look around.

Xilingmo followed the crowd to Zhenlongfang.

There was indeed a horse team lined up, surrounded by many people selling things.

They are surrounded by robust male slaves and yamen servants patrolling. There is a large place in Zhenlongfang, and there are many people doing business. Because there are so many people, they can't see the edge at a glance.

Originally, this place was built to facilitate merchants to do business, and the imperial court collected taxes.

Others don't know it, but she knows it. More than ten years ago, my mother and queen proposed to reduce taxes for poor peasants, to support business development, and to collect taxes to make up for it. Father and emperor very much agreed with this suggestion, but because of the rampant Xiling family, even if the taxes were less However, the life of the tenant farmers is not easy. On the contrary, it is cheaper for the family and nobles, so the effect is not great.

However, the business in Xiling is developing well, because the taxes collected by the business are not low, and the imperial court has certain measures in certain aspects, such as Zhenlong Square is one of them.

In Fenghuan and Beiyan, the life of merchants is relatively difficult, so many people from the chiefs come to Xiling every year.

And tonight, it was obviously another lively event every year, but there was a crowd?

Although all countries turn a blind eye to slave trade, they look down on it very much, let alone bring it to the table, and sometimes child trafficking is even more punishable by death!Especially traffickers, from severe punishment laws!However, it is not very strict about the sale of children and daughters in poor areas. For example, when a rich family buys servants, it will be selected from legitimate people, because the origins are all recorded and the channels are relatively serious. Some officials trigger If the criminal law ransacks the house, the family members are allowed to be sold.

And Zhenlongfang is another form of people's market in Xiling and even Shikoku.

The defeated captives of Beiyan would be pulled together and sold together, such as selecting livestock. This was not the case in Xiling, but there was another kind, that is, merchants from the chieftains came here to sell ghost slaves.

This kind of ghost slave has contempt, but it has become a kind of appellation like cattle and sheep, which means a kind of slave.

The skin is as dark as charcoal, a strong and strong slave!Commonly known as ghost slaves!
