Chapter 196 Slave and Slave

"Does your tribe need population? What kind of population do you need? Slaves, or servants?" Patriarch Wuxian asked.

A slave is a woman, and a man is a servant.

"Half of it, I plan to ask for a hundred!" Li Yan said.

"One hundred? Let me tell you, we don't have many slaves, but we have many. I can only give you ten slaves." Patriarch Wu Xian said.

"Row!"

When Li Yan heard this, he was overjoyed. The men are strong, and this Wuxian tribe is willing to sell so many men to themselves. I don't know why?But that was fine, men were needed in quarries and farming.

"Clan chief Yan, you Jiang tribe, are you giving me shell coins or goods?" Patriarch Wuxian asked again.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan quickly took out a bamboo card from his trouser pocket and said, "This is my business card. Our Jiangtribe Sulfur Company has a lot of sulfur."

"sulfur?"

Patriarch Wuxian quickly waved his hands and said, "Patriarch Yan, our Wuxian tribe has sulfur mines, so we don't need sulfur."

"That's it"

Li Yan was slightly disappointed, took back the bamboo plaque, thought for a while, and said: "Our tribe has pottery, I don't know if you need it."

"Clan Chief Yan, most tribes don't need pottery, and neither does our Wuxian tribe." Patriarch Wuxian interrupted.

The large tribes have a high level of development and can make pottery, so they don't have much demand for pottery, unless some particularly exquisite pottery can fall into their eyes.

It was the first time to do business with this big Wuxian clan, and recalling the previous transactions with other big clans, Li Yan suddenly felt that they were different from other small clans. It is a novel and rare commodity, and resources such as sulfur and pottery will naturally not come into their eyes.

Seeing that Li Yan was silent, Patriarch Wuxian rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Patriarch Yan, when the time comes, I will follow you back to the Jiang Tribe and see what special products your tribe has, let's talk about it."

"Okay, but a slave thing"

Li Yan looked at Patriarch Wuxian hesitantly. This Wuxian clan is a big clan. Patriarch Wuxian visited the Jiang tribe in person. Obviously, the Jiang tribe has something very attractive to him, otherwise he would not be so interested in the Jiang tribe.

"As for the servants, let me take you to see our servants first, how about that?"

Patriarch Wu Xian said: "When the time comes, I will bring my slaves to your Jiang tribe, wouldn't it be better?"

This Wuxian patriarch is quite experienced, and everything he said speaks to Li Yan's heart.

After the two chatted for a while, Patriarch Wu Xian took Li Yan out of the main city, drove the beasts, and everyone rushed to the north of the island.

Through the green fields, into a forest.

In the forest, many women were collecting mushrooms and berries under the trees, while some men climbed to the trees to pick fruits. The red, jujube-like fruits were picked one by one and packed in baskets.

The men and women here are dressed in tatters and are all very busy.

Patriarch Wuxian led the way sitting on the back of a stable Triceratops. The team was marching through the woods. The men and women around were busy and looked at the team here with concern from time to time.

"stop!"

Patriarch Wu Xian in front suddenly stopped the team, and then he said a few words to Wu Hai next to him.

Wu Hai nodded, and then in the surrounding woods, he brought ten middle-aged women who were collecting and a man who was limping to the front of the team.

Patriarch Wu Xian turned his head and said, "Patriarch Yan, these are ten slaves and one slave."

"scribe?"

Li Yan was a little confused, so he quickly ran to Tamar's side and asked in a low voice: "Sister, I know that the female slave is a plundered woman, but what is a slave? Isn't the plundered man called a servant?"

Tamar frowned, and replied: "Slave is a person who gathers fruit. After many tribes conquer a tribe, the men are captured as servants, and the women are captured as slaves. The little boy is a slave. When he grows up, he will follow the slaves. Working together, the adult men captured are easy to rebel, and many tribes will kill them, or let them work to death, Yan, you have to be careful."

"Slave, slave, that's how it came about."

Li Yan nodded, thinking of the cruelty of ancient times. After conquering others, people in ancient times usually killed men and kept women. All men who were taller than the wheel were killed. The reason is that men have strong resistance thoughts and high management costs. This rule applies The same holds true in this primitive age.

The limping slave man should have grown up as a child of a female slave, or was arrested and labored from a very young age. Such a person has no thought of resistance. Relatively speaking, the management cost is also low. .

These ten women are all middle-aged women, and it is estimated that childbearing has an impact. The status of women in this era is high because women can increase the population. Just like raising chickens before, males are useless, but females are very useful. In this era The production tools are poor, and the labor force gap between men and women is not big, so women are naturally more valuable.

After thinking about it, Li Yan returned to Patriarch Wu Xian and said, "Patriarch Wu Xian, I am very satisfied with these eleven slaves."

"Well, let's continue to find the remaining servants. You want 100 people in total, right?"

"Yes."

The group moved on.

Half an hour later, a high mountain appeared looming in front of the woods. From there came the sound of picking stones and people shouting and cursing, all kinds of sounds were very chaotic.

After approaching, it turned out that this place was a quarry.

A half-mined mountain, more than 300 people are here to break stones, dig stones, put stones into baskets, and there are people grinding stone tools in one corner.

On the back of the mountain, five Ankylosaurus were digging the mountain, digging out stones one by one.

Surrounding them, more than a dozen animal skin warriors held spears and bows, supervising these people, and several Allosaurus were scattered around.

"hurry up!"

Snapped!
An animal skin warrior, seeing a quarryman being lazy, slapped him with a leather whip, causing the quarryman to scream in pain.

The people who dig the stones here are all men, but all of them are yellow and thin, with many scars, and some of them don't even have a piece of animal skin to hide their shame.

Just watching, two soldiers dragged a motionless thin man to the front of the team.

"Patriarch, this servant is dead." An animal skin warrior reported.

Patriarch Wuxian spat and said indifferently: "Dead? Give it to the Allosaurus. It was only captured a few days ago, so it's dead, alas."

Then, Patriarch Wuxian turned back and smiled, "Patriarch Yan, you still need 89 people. You can choose whatever you want here."

"Ok."

Li Yan looked at the vast number of people here, he was a little uncertain, and said: "Clan Chief Wuxian, why don't you help me choose."

Patriarch Wu Xian thought for a while, then ordered Wu Hai to do it.

Half an hour later, 89 quarry men stood neatly in front of Li Yan.

These people seemed to be doing well, not disabled or sick.

After all, they had to be transported to the Jiang Tribe through mountains and rivers, and the Wuxian tribe would not choose some sick and disabled slaves for Li Yan. If a few died on the way, Li Yan would definitely not want them, and it would be a loss.

Li Yan and Tamar checked the 89 mining men one by one, and found nothing unusual, and they were very satisfied.

But Tamar called Li Yan aside and said, "Yan, will these 89 adult men be transported back to the Jiang Tribe, will there be any trouble?"

"Are you afraid that they will rebel after recuperating?" Li Yan asked.

"That's right! These people are people with foreign surnames, and they don't even know our language. Once they rebel, our Jiang tribe will be in trouble." Tamar worried.

"I have my own measure." Li Yan said.
