The second person who traveled through time and space and became a pig
Chapter 32 Slave Selection
"By the way, young man, what's your name? We are doing such a big business, we can't not even know your name, right?" Wanhe shopkeeper said to Lai Levin with a smile on his face. It is a relative term to say that this is a big business. Under normal circumstances, the major chambers of commerce resell grain. Ordinary people will not purchase such a large amount of grain because they have their own farms or their own grain-producing land. Only people living in towns will buy small amounts of grain. It is rare for that young man to buy nearly one million kilograms of grain at one time, so Wanhe shopkeeper used such a large word to describe it.
"My wise master, my name is Levin."
"Little guy, don't call me the old shopkeeper. My name is Shengjin."
"Manager Shengjin, can we talk about business now?" Levin spoke directly after the two servants brought two cups of tea.
"Of course, let's determine the total amount of food first so I can have people prepare it. If the purchase amount is too large, it will take time to prepare."
"Of course, in addition to the 200 coins of grain that we discussed at the beginning, I also need to buy million kilograms of grain from you."
"What do you want to do with so much food?" Sheng Jin said subconsciously.
"I think the shopkeeper's matter is not within the scope of your inquiry. You just need to negotiate the price." Levin suddenly became gloomy. In Shengjin's eyes, that hint of viciousness was like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, which was terrifying.
"I'm sorry, little friend Levin, I seem to have said something wrong, please forgive me," the shrewd Sheng Jin quickly changed his words, inquiring about other people's privacy is the most disrespectful thing to do to others.
"Don't let problems like this appear again during our business talks. Obviously, Levin also knows the psychology of these shopkeepers. He can't pretend to be too weak. If that's the case, there's no telling what these shopkeepers can do.
"Okay, okay. I will sell you these 200 million kilograms of grain at the price of 80 copper coins per kilogram, and I will send a transport team to transport it to where you want to go, but only to the north of Holy Light City. If it goes south, I can't help you. You should choose mercenaries to help you transport it." The several villages on the edge of Holy Light City were not too far away from Shenguang City, so Sheng Jinyin showed his greatest sincerity.
"If that's the case, thank you so much. Let's talk about other business next." Levin has been in the caravan for many years and is no pushover. His expression immediately turned into a faint smile, as if the terrifying look just now was not on his face.
"I wonder if Brother Levin needs anything else?" Sheng Jin said with a smile on his face.
"Are there any orc slaves for sale? Levin knew that the territory of the pig-headed priest who released him was just starting out, and he certainly lacked a strong armed force. However, Levin also saw from the orc's various actions that this pig-headed man was obviously not an ordinary orc. He was ambitious, had aspirations, and was courageous and wise. If the bet was right this time, he would become his subordinate. When he became stronger, he would also be able to transform from a commoner to a superior person. He was used to receiving letters from many big men, and he also dreamed that one day he would be able to order others around like them and make others look at him with envy.
"Then you have come to the right place. The slave trade of our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce has been carried out for nearly 200 years. We have all kinds of slaves. I wonder if you need young and beautiful female slaves, or female slaves with charm, or orcs who can do hard labor." Seeing that Levin wanted to buy slaves, Sheng Jin directly introduced the female slaves to him.
"What I need are some men with combat capabilities, strong fighting races, so I want to set up a slave guard." Levin made up a pretext to cover up the fact that he was buying slaves for the High Priest, but this pretext was still very convincing in the Holy Light City. Some wealthy people would keep some strong orcs as their guards to protect their own safety.
"Oh, so that's how it is. We have jackals, minotaurs, and wolves here, and we also have a large number of pig-headed people. If you have special needs, you can tell us. We can also contact the headquarters and ask them to allocate some slaves you need. In other words, we can basically satisfy whatever you want," Sheng Jin vowed.
"Oh, really? That's great. Let's take them back first to see the quality, and then we can discuss the price." Levin didn't want to buy things without seeing the goods. That was very unwise. These merchants usually played tricks by selling inferior goods as good ones. Levin didn't want the slaves he sent back to the High Priest to be a bunch of sickly ones.
"Of course, it's not reasonable to buy goods without seeing them. Come on, little brother, let's go to the backyard." As he said that, Wanhe, the shopkeeper, took Levin to the backyard. Ryan and Carl had already hired a carriage. They didn't know that Shengjin was going to transport their grain back, and the carriage might really be hired in vain.
Passing the store and passing through an arched corridor, Levin appeared in front of a large yard of about 700 to 800 square meters. There were more than a dozen rows of wooden cages in the yard, and all kinds of humanoid creatures were imprisoned in the cages. There were not only orcs, but also half-orcs, and even the shadows of elves, goblins, and cavemen were among them. In the innermost super-large cage, there was actually a barbarian. This barbarian immediately attracted Levin's attention. The barbarian was nearly six meters tall, and he was like a giant in front of humans. However, this barbarian now looked skinny, and all parts of his body were tied up in the cage with chains. There was not much space to move, and he looked very miserable.
Seeing Levin's eyes, Shengjin smiled slightly. As an experienced old man, he knew that the young man in front of him, although he had some money, had definitely never seen such a big scene.
"How about it, young man? We have all kinds of slaves here. We have basically everything you can think of." Shengguang City is one of the largest cities in the north. If it were placed in an ordinary small city, the Chamber of Commerce would not have these kinds of slaves. Wanhe Chamber of Commerce is also a commodity distribution center for all the small towns nearby, so we can see such a full range of slaves. Just like the orcs have human slaves, human nobles or people with certain power also hope to keep some orc slaves as a manifestation of their noble rights or financial strength. Some humans even enjoy having many female slaves of other races.
Seeing the somewhat contemptuous smile on Sheng Jin's face, Levin knew that he had lost his composure. He collected his thoughts and said with a smile on his face, "There are quite a few of these kinds, but looking at the appearance of these slaves, they are all sickly and lifeless. What's the point of buying such guys back?" To sell things, you must first devalue the other party's goods in order to buy them at a low price. This is a routine. Levin, the servant, obviously learned a lot from his former boss.
"Ah, little brother, that's something you don't know. Slaves don't get any income before they are sold. They just keep eating food, so we only give them a small amount of food to sustain their survival. We don't supply them with food freely. But don't worry, there is no problem with their health. As long as they are given enough food for ten days or half a month, they will be full of energy." Sheng Jin answered the question without any hesitation. Obviously, what he said was an unwritten rule recognized by all slave traders.
"Oh, let's go a little further inside. What's outside is really not to my liking." Levin could only make up an excuse to cover it up.
As Levin walked further in, they only saw the huge barbarians in the distance and various small humanoids on the edge, such as cave dwellers. Cave dwellers were short, only about 80 cm tall, thin and dark, but their eyes were very bright. Then there were goblins. Goblins were not particularly tall, but they were several dozen centimeters taller than cave dwellers. The whole body of goblins was similar to that of humans, but his head was somewhat different from the round shape of humans. Most goblins had irregular brains and particularly large ears. Going further in, there were various orc slave girls, or they were half-dressed, with their thighs or shoulders exposed. Although they could not be said to be beautiful, their pitiful appearance would definitely make men feel pity. Levin could not help but look at them more, but Levin was not hungry now. He had just returned from home, and even if he had desires, he could still control them. He knew that the slaves that the pig-headed priest wanted were definitely not female slaves. After walking for another two minutes, the real protagonist appeared. There were nearly a hundred kobolds in ten large cages. Although there were old and young, % of them were young and strong.
"How much is this dog-headed man?" Lai Wen stopped and turned to Sheng Jin and said.
"Five gold coins for the old and ten gold coins for the young," Sheng Jin said without any hesitation. It was obvious that this price had been there for a while.
"Are all the ogres so expensive? I should go to Baishun Chamber of Commerce to have another look?" Although the price seems normal, I should still warn the shopkeeper of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. He still has choices, and you are not the only one who has slaves.
"Little brother, there is still room for negotiation. Don't be anxious. I'm only talking about the price I sell to others. With our current relationship, I can adjust it for you. Take a look, and then tell me everything you like, and I'll calculate it for you together." This guy is also very shrewd. He doesn't want to let go of such a big customer. Although nobles will buy slaves, they will mostly buy female slaves. During wars or when humans attack orc tribes, not only women, but also a large number of young and old children are brought back? The slave market in Holy Light City is somewhat saturated. This slave has been stored here for a while and has eaten a lot of food. He doesn't want to keep these slaves fed.
"Okay, but you have to think about it. I'm not buying just one or two. I might buy a lot. If your price is unreasonable, I don't think we need to talk anymore." Levin continued to move forward and walked to another large cage. The large cage contained nearly a hundred pig-headed people. The pig-headed people's current situation was obviously worse than that of the dog-headed people. The pig-headed people were known for being lazy and gluttonous. If they didn't get enough food, their physical condition would be very bad. Looking at the current physical condition of the pig-headed people, they were not only skinny, but also just skin and bones. They were staggering in the cage one by one, without any spirit.
"Boss Shengjin, aren't you going too far? Is there anyone who would buy a slave like you?" Levin pointed at the pig-headed man in the cage and said with a frown.
"Little brother, to be honest, I regret buying these pig-headed people. These guys are lazy and good at eating. They are not a powerful race, and they don't have any faith or belief. All they do all day is eat, and they eat more than people of other races. There is also an unpleasant smell on their bodies, so no noble would be interested in them. The slaves of other races are all new, and only these pig-headed people have been here for a year. If you want to buy them, I can sell them to you at the lowest price." Sheng Jin did not hide anything and directly told Levin why these pig-headed people were so thin.
"Look at the size of these pig-headed people. They should be good for doing some hard labor. Even if they can eat a little, how much can they eat? Shopkeeper, what do you think the price of this group of pig-headed people is?" Levin asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Let me warn you, do you really want to buy them? They are really lazy and they eat a lot."
"Boss, my boss over there needs some laborers. He has a big restaurant at home, so there will be a lot of kitchen waste every day. I think it should be enough to feed these pig-headed people. This is also the requirement of the boss over there. This way, we won't waste food and can bring in labor. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Levin still has the ability to make up lies.
"So that's how it is. Then ten silver coins each will do. You see, if you take all these 110 pig-headed men away, I will sell them to you at this price. This is my purchase price. There is not a penny of profit. Little brother, please don't bargain anymore." After saying the price, Sheng Jin added a few more sentences, fearing that this young, cunning, and seemingly ordinary man would start a bargaining contest with him again.
"Well, shopkeeper, you can give me so much less than the price of all my future slave purchases. Our cooperation will surely prosper." Levin smiled when he heard the price. He didn't expect that he would have an unexpected gain. If he transported so many people back to the hands of the high priest, he would definitely be rewarded.
"It's great that you agreed. I didn't expect that you are my lucky star, little brother. I am also worried about these pig-headed people. Well, little brother, you continue to choose. I, an old guy, will definitely give you a satisfactory price." Sheng Jin said to Levin with a smile on his face, and he deliberately tried to get closer to Levin.
