Chapter 46 Luoyang East City, Ripples in My Heart

Be rich and become a big family.

Even if the first ray of sunlight in the morning shines in... Cao Shu felt that the Cao Mansion, which is full of stinking smell, was very comfortable. Oh, it feels good to be a rich man... Even last night, I was awakened by gold in my dream.

Oh...has it become so vulgar?

Cao Shu asked himself, saying, "To be a noble person, a pure person, and to be free from the low-level and interesting person!"

Oh, in front of money, I lost myself and fell into depravity again!

Speaking of which, last night.

Cao Song ordered Acai that in the future... as long as the coins withdrawn by his grandson Cao Shu, no matter how much they are, they will be prepared and there is no need to report them again... If Cao Shu wants to hoard any goods, the Cao family will support them even more...

Of course, Cao Song also emphasized that the land deeds of Langya County and Qiao County must be kept strictly, because that is the old foundation of the Cao family!

After all, Cao Song is already enlightened enough...

Whether it is luck or keen sense of smell, this huge amount is indeed earned by Cao Shuo... If he wants to spend money, Cao Song will definitely not stop him.

Cramp... Pushing open the door of the living room and breathing the freshest air, Cao Shu stretched.

Uh…what is going on?

It was very surprising... In the courtyard, there was a complete set of Hu beds, Hu chairs, Hu cabinets, and several women's Hu clothes...

this?

Cao Shu was thinking about it? Hasn’t the Hu artifacts been sold out? Why are there still fish that missed the net? Could it be that the Zhen family led it?

After asking the servant, I realized that this was specially instructed by the eldest young master Cao Ang to stay...

…Cao Shu was a little surprised. His brother Cao Ang left a Hu bed, a Hu chair, and a Hu cabinet. How many? I can understand it! But what do these women's beauties mean? Could it be... Cao Ang was so honest and good at this?

Thinking of this, Cao Shu shook his head suddenly... This topic cannot be thought about deeply.

Cao Cao's family is very strange.

In my impression, I won’t say that Cao Cao likes other people’s wives; after Cao Pi ascended the throne, he took a lot of concubines from his father Cao Cao; Cao Zhi liked his sister-in-law; Cao Zhang fell in love with horses and didn’t like women... Oh, God! If Cao Ang had any special hobbies in this family, Cao Shu was not surprised at all.

Just thinking about this.

"Little Young Master." The voice of servant A Cai came over. "The master has given me instructions to go to the East City of Luoyang with the young master to buy some divisions, and pick some from them to send them to the young master to protect the whole story... Now, the East City is about to open, when will we set off?"

"Grandpa Acai, go now!" Cao Shuo answered directly... he couldn't wait.

Today... I'm going to Taobao!

...

...

"Little Young Master." As he walked, Acai did not forget to analyze the situation about Luoyang East City. "Luoyang East City is a place for human traffickers to sell slaves, but the quality of slaves they have is not bad. If they choose to be an ordinary servant, they have to go to the land temple in Dongcheng."

"Well? Land Temple?" Cao Shu asked in confusion.

"Yes. In the Land Temple, there are not slaves in the hands of human traffickers, but some strong men who think they have some skills and take the initiative to find their masters." A Cai continued to say: "These people are mostly poor because of their poor family. Whoever can give them a bite of food will go with them... They are loyal, and the major clans will also come to this Land Temple for selection. Of course, whether they can choose the ones they like is, in addition to their vision, luck is also very important. Some look very skinny and have amazing strength when they have enough food!"

At this point, Acai paused and explained in detail. "For example, our neighbor Yuan family selected two people, one named Yan Liang and the other named Wen Chou... It seemed weak, but who would have thought that after eating and drinking, he could actually carry a huge cauldron of 100 kilograms. His kung fu is also great, and it was considered that their Yuan family had picked up a treasure."

I'll go...

Cao Shu was shocked. It turned out that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were the two heroes who were invincible in Hebei in the future. They were from a clan back then? They followed the Yuan family so early! No wonder they were "cold" too early. It seems... the land temple can really find talents!

"By the way." A Cai seemed to have thought of something again. "Young Master, come to this Luoyang East City... the name of your father Cao Cao..." As soon as he spoke, A Cai stopped talking again... shook his head. "Forget it... nothing."

Hum? Dad Cao Cao’s name? What’s wrong? Is Dad Cao Cao very famous in the East City of Luoyang?

Cao Shu was a little confused... Just as he was about to ask in detail, the group had already arrived in the East City of Luoyang.

...

Wow…

What a lively scene.

Compared with the shops in the West City, Luoyang East City has a very different scene. Under the trees, under the eaves, next to the stone lions... As long as there are people selling slaves everywhere, shouting loudly... And behind them, there are countless men with unclothed clothes tied up with ropes.

"Look at it, I have the strength to carry four bags of grain, which can be checked and verified, but I can't carry it, so I don't need money!"

"Come on, new goods...smooth skin, young age, is most suitable for the inner courtyard service, come and have a look..."

"If you can't buy it, you will suffer losses, you can't buy it... Look at the goods here, you are tall, energetic... you have the strength, can handle bags and do odd jobs, and can serve in the inner courtyard, only 3,000 yuan..."

The shouts and shouts of human traffickers are one after another... These so-called slaves, ranging from a thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan, are like some extra strong or young and delicate people who can be sold at a high price of twenty thousand yuan.

It seems that here...slaves are like ordinary goods, and even their price is far less than a horse.

Of course... such a shout made Cao Shu very repulsive... Since entering Dongshi, his brows have always been frowning tightly.

Not that he sympathizes with these slaves...

Cao Shu just lamented that the prosperous Luoyang City... the number of slaves was so huge that it exceeded his cognition. In the past, he only knew from books that the Han slave transactions were prevalent, and even when Wang Mang usurped power... his personal number of private slaves alone reached more than 200,000.

But really... When this scene really appeared in front of Cao Shu's eyes... Cao Shu couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart? What is the reason? It made so many people willing to be slaves...

Is it a natural disaster? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Little Ice Age was coming, with the weather being cold and changing... The consequences of this were plagues and the prevalence of cold food syndrome... How many people became poor and homeless due to illness. Only by selling themselves as slaves and servants can they get a way out.

As for man-made disasters? The rule of the two emperors Huan Ling is not considered enlightened. Even the rule during this period is very ridiculous, and it is not too much to sell official positions and make money...

All of these are the reasons for the prosperity of the slave market.

Speaking of which, despite the poverty and humbleness... this is also a force that cannot be ignored...

A few years later, the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang rose up, and how many such poor people rose up to resist? In the official history, the sailing of the Great Wei Dynasty is inseparable from the Qingzhou soldiers formed based on these poor people. This shows that the troubled times are coming... This force needs to be faced with it! It also needs to be won over!

Cao Shu stared at these slaves, and his thoughts flew out of the sky...

The servant A Cai thought that the young master was like his father Cao Cao, and he also liked to watch human traffickers shouting and selling slaves... He smiled faintly and said, "Young Master first, take a look here... Where is the Land Temple? It's all thick people. Don't scare the young master. The old master will choose some first, and then let the young master choose from it carefully."

As he spoke, Acai called two servants to protect Cao Shu, and he himself quickly walked towards the Tudi Temple.

At this time, Cao Shu... was still thinking about how to win over the Cao family and Xiahou family, or use these poor people at the bottom to strengthen their strength.

I didn't care about Acai and his group's journey away...

Suddenly, Cao Shuo's eyes were quickly attracted by the scene in front of him...

It turned out that a woman dealer was holding a rope and tied up more than a dozen female slaves, shouting and shouting... and quickly walked into the East City of Luoyang.

Slaves are not distinguished from men and women... but in Cao Shu's view, these pale and thin and dirty women make him feel more sympathetic.

In fact, from the servants of Cao's mansion, Cao Shu knew...

His mother Liu Chun sold herself to Cao Cao during the Zhuangyou period because she sold herself to Cao Cao during the Zhuangyou period... Her father Cao Cao was really good to her.

Out of gratitude, over the years... Liu Chun is also a man who is a cattle and horse for Cao Cao, and even... When Ding Hui entered the school, she did not hesitate to regard herself as her maid and was full of cold eyes! If it weren't for Cao Cao's drunkenness and disorderly night on the wedding night, how could Liu Chun ever think of becoming a wife of the Cao family?

"Oh... good fortune is so good!" Cao Shu himself didn't know why he became sentimental to these female slaves. This is not in line with his style... Since he is in a chaotic world, his heart should also become like iron stone...

I am feeling emotion.

Suddenly...the sound of footsteps suddenly appeared in Cao Shuo's ears.

——"What to look at? You have to pay!"

Cao Shu suddenly turned around and saw a Taoist boy wearing Taoist clothes, about the same age as him... and almost the same size.

The little Taoist boy pinched his waist, looking like "I am the king of heaven", curled his lips, his eyebrows almost stood up, and he was holding a piece of grass in his mouth...

Seeing that Cao Shu didn't say anything, he repeated it again.

"In this East City of Luoyang, look at female slaves, you must give money... hurry up, get the money!"

Uh... Cao Shu's eyes must be, the one in front of him... looks like a demon king in the world!

The key is that this guy seems to be only six or seven years old, right? Is it because? Are children so precocious these days?
