Swallow Back

The government here is loose, and it is not difficult to do business as long as money is used to open the way.However, once involved in the chaos of the temple, it may become a fish in the pond.Therefore, when a businessman walks, he must have sufficient vision and vigilance.

This is not the information that Liu Yun pays attention to, so he only smiles and nods.

Then the middle-aged chunky businessman stopped for a while, and then talked about Dameng, saying that the sea ban is still strict, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in and out, and they can only get goods from a few heroes who are half-buyer and half-counterfeit, and they have to work hard to sail the ship Come down, the profits are all in the hands of others, which is meaningless.

Liu Yun is somewhat interested in this, but he hasn't figured out where to start yet, so he just keeps things in his heart.

Then the middle-aged chunky businessman talked about Dongying.He said that a large number of virgins, boys and girls had just been transported from Kinki by human traffickers and sold to sea merchants and pirates as preparations for soldiers and concubines.There are tens of thousands of them.

Hearing this, Liu Yun was finally moved.

At one time, tens of thousands of boys and girls were trafficked from Kinki to Kyushu?What's wrong with Oda Nobunaga?

Liu Yun first randomly asked a few irrelevant questions, and then went around to the business of "job placement for minors".

The answer I got was: the daimyo in Kinki suppressed a large-scale "Ichikui" activity, slaughtered more than a hundred villages, beheaded tens of thousands, looted and burned all the houses, and arrested and detained children and sold them to traffickers.

Liu Yun thought to himself that such a situation could never be called "the world is peaceful and the people are happy".

In order to prevent misjudgment, he pretended to be interested in taking over, and asked about the situation of the boys and girls brought over.

There is a line in it, which is to ask if there is any follower among them.

The chunky middle-aged businessman thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said he hadn't heard such news.He also explained that Yixiangzong was the most stubborn, and he often died together, and few of them were captured and sold as slaves.

Chapter 281 Two Thousand Boys and Girls

The people's "Tu Yi Kui" was suppressed, hundreds of villages were burned, and tens of thousands of boys and girls were sold to Kyushu.

And he is not a disciple of the Yizong sect.

This is really not quite right.

Although Liu Yun did not make a detailed and in-depth "Investigation Report on the Peasant Movement in Dongying" like his teacher, he has traveled far and wide and gained a lot of knowledge.He knew that the Kinki and Tokai regions under the rule of the Oda family had relatively fertile land, relatively developed commerce and trade, and now they were in a rare environment of peaceful unification. It was supposed to be a place where "class conflicts" were relatively relaxed. Why did the situation suddenly become so intense?

If Mr. Nobunaga broke his promise, acted recklessly, and acted perversely, he must come to his door and have a good reasoning with him.

Liu Yun thought so in his heart.

Two days later, all the rain had dissipated, the weather had completely turned sunny, and shipping had resumed. Standing on the high platform of the mansion, one could indeed see some human-trafficking boats approaching the beach.

Crowds of boys and girls, the oldest one is only ten years old, the youngest is probably only two or three years old, no matter how old or young they are, they are all like pigs and sheep, tied up with rough hemp rope, crowded on the deck and the cabin, all The clothes are ragged, dirty and smelly, all of them are yellow and thin, with bluish-purple trauma on their bodies, all of them have pale eyes and numb faces, like walking dead.

Some watermen even untied the recently dead body from the rope, and then threw it into the water without blinking.

And those young children who were treated as goods were completely indifferent when they saw this scene.It seems that he has been made stupid by long-term cruel abuse.

When the boat approached the pier, a man with agility jumped over and shouted impatiently: "It was just brought back from Kinki, six ships with two thousand boys and girls! It doesn't matter gender, age, figure or appearance. All only sell 150 coins of Yongle coins! All only sell 150 coins of Yongle coins! First buy, first pick!"

Then he yelled again in Korean and Chinese, and then played it in a loop.

Within a few hundred steps on the beach, anyone who heard the loud yelling would inevitably come over to watch the excitement.

Of course, it is not true that there are customers who immediately board the ship to choose "goods", but the effect of this advertisement is definitely achieved.It is estimated that someone will come to talk about this big deal in a short time.

Some people have been secretly paying attention or quietly estimating it.

At that time, Liu Yunping retired his female relatives and was not served by anyone. He sat alone on the terrace and drank the mediocre local sake in silence.Seeing all this suddenly, my mood instantly became extremely negative.

Being in the sixteenth century, he certainly knew that the surrounding environment would appear barbaric and backward, and it was incomparable with his previous life.

I've never seen human trafficking before.

Kyoto has a market for prisoners of war all year round.The price of a capable adult is generally about five guan, and a woman with outstanding looks will be more expensive. Ten guan and a hundred guan are not impossible.For underage children, it is about two times.

The venue there is not big, and the supply of goods is not enough, so it still pays more attention to relatively expensive "goods".Although the slave merchants were fierce and cruel, they would not kill without reason, and occasionally provided medical treatment.

After all, prisoners of war who have the ability to work and have use value are easy to sell.

At that time, Liu Yun saw it in the capital. Although he felt that the population trade was inappropriate, he was not too angry.

After all, the productivity of the sixteenth century is here. How much freedom can ordinary people enjoy if they guard an acre of land?Selling herself to a wealthy family to serve as a slave or a servant girl, her life has not changed much.

It can only be accepted forcibly as a "limitation of the times".

Although possessing various supernatural powers that far exceed the power of ordinary people, Liu Yun knows that he is not a person as great as the teacher who can change the times, nor does he have such great ambitions, he can only do his best in some details.

And now?

On the six boats approaching in front of them, the businessman didn't care about the lives of the children at all, fully showing the ruthlessness of the traffickers.

Not surprisingly, you can see why they do this from the price.

No matter male or female, old or young, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, they are all only 150 Wen Yongle, which is roughly equivalent to [-] Wen of bad money, which is less than one-third of the city price in Kyoto!

Obviously, because the supply of goods has suddenly increased explosively, so that the selling price has dropped significantly, merchants have also adopted the idea of ​​small profits but quick turnover, and quickly cleared the warehouse, and are not so concerned about the storage of single-item "goods" .

In the field of trade, this can be said to be human nature.

but--

The goods they sell are real people!

And they were all children under ten years old!

After traveling to the world of Japan's warring states with strange powers and gods, Liu Yun has no choice but to adjust his morality according to local conditions. The bottom line has been continuously lowered, and he has become a luxurious and promiscuous class enemy.

But no matter how low it is, it cannot be reduced to this level.

Seeing another fresh corpse of a child being thrown into the water indifferently by the boatman, Liu Yun couldn't keep calm.

His first thought was——

What the hell is Oda Nobunaga doing?How could so many victims of war be created at one time?

This idea had been conceived the day before, but before seeing the tragic situation of the children with my own eyes, after all, I hadn't really realized it.

I really met today, and my heart is heavy again.

Looking at the current situation, it is bound to be necessary to go to Kinki to find out, and then see if face-to-face communication is necessary.

But before that, the more important thing is to save these poor children first.

But how to save it?

Go straight to the door single-handedly, kill the hateful human traffickers, and take the virgins?

It's not that it can't be done, it's just...not appropriate.

Because their business is actually legal in this era.Even if it is the evil camp, it is not easy to simply "kill evil".

The merchants who sell boys and girls are nothing more than buying prisoners of war at a low price from the victorious daimyo, then transporting them to places that need manpower, and selling them at a higher price.

In fact, they can't say the culprit.

So why don't you pay for the kids?

The balance on hand should be enough, but it is too lenient to the slave traders.

After all, they are not good people.

So, let's combine the two.

Liu Yun drank the last bit of sake in silence—the wine was of mediocre quality, but because of his bad mood, it became even more difficult to drink.

But he still poured it all into his mouth.

Then, Liu Yun called Yizhi and Asaji, the two female relatives who had the leadership ability, and told them: "Everyone, please make preparations to take care of two thousand orphans temporarily as soon as possible. Food, clothing, lodging, and medicines are all available. It needs to be purchased, although it is very abrupt and difficult, but please help me to complete it as much as possible."

Yizhi was quite surprised when he heard this, but out of Liuyun's usual meekness and obedience, he didn't say much, and agreed in a low voice.

After kowtowing and saluting, Azaji asked the reason respectfully.

Liu Yun explained a little bit.

Yizhi understood what was going on, and immediately showed a bit of timidity on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Azaji instantly had a lofty sense of mission, and her spirits were greatly lifted. She patted her very impressive chest and said impassionedly that she must do well.

Chapter 282

After explaining the situation to Yizhi and Azaji, Liuyun took some gold and silver and went out alone. He came to the port pier, found a waterman who had just got off the boat, and asked to meet the person in charge of the other party's chamber of commerce.

Such a straightforward visit, without any prior appointment, is not in line with business rules in this era, and it can even be said to be quite disrespectful.

But Liuyun possesses the soul of a 21st century traveler, he is used to dealing with top dignitaries in this life, and he also possesses a powerful ability of the spiritual system. If it is not deliberately concealed, the aura is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people of.

Although the naked and sweaty boatman was vulgar and uneducated, he had some experience with the caravan. He was not an ordinary person who had never seen the world. Angry and arrogant, he felt that he was a strange person who could not afford to offend, and dared not take it lightly, so he hurriedly asked the responsible cadres from above to come out to receive him.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a mustache, dressed as a tea master, walked out slowly, wearing a black-brown Taoist uniform with small sleeves, a white patterned skirt, a square scarf and a folding fan in his hand.

This attire looks like a high-level executive in the chamber of commerce.

Since he is a high-level executive, he is naturally capable of retreat. After meeting, he is not in a hurry to talk about the topic, but with a bit of reserved vigilance, greets with a smiley face, chats around the edges, and tests his identity while asking about his purpose.

Liu Yun didn't want to talk nonsense, he just opened the money bag he was carrying with him, revealing the glittering golden color, and said directly: "I want to buy all the two thousand boys and girls on your side."

The middle-aged man with a mustache was shocked for a few seconds, and then overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed deeply to salute: "It turns out that the big customer came to the door! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm very welcome!"

Probably because he can get a huge commission in it.

Then he came back to his senses, had some doubts, and asked cautiously: "The total price of the two thousand boys and girls you want is three hundred guan of Yongle money. It is equivalent to 300 taels of gold, or 500 taels of silver. I don't know How do you plan to pay? If it’s bad money, please forgive me for paying 320% more for loss according to the rules, it takes [-] [-] guan.”

Without saying a word, Liu Yun handed over the money bag in his hand.

The middle-aged man with a mustache took it carefully, opened it, looked at it, weighed it for a while, and suddenly said: "This is nearly a hundred taels of gold! You can easily spend such a large sum of money to buy two thousand virgins and girls." No problem."

That being said, the guy's eyeballs shook violently a few times, with expressions of greed, viciousness, and hesitation on his face. Said: "Guests, please come with the villain."

Apparently, when he saw such a large pile of gold just now, he already had the idea of ​​killing people for money.

After all, even if a chamber of commerce whose main business is human trafficking is legal, it violates morality, and the upper management personnel inside are definitely not good people.

It's just that I don't know if I have dispelled the idea of ​​committing a crime now, or do I want to get in touch with a higher level before doing it?

Liu Yun then followed to the boat.

I only walked a few hundred steps along the way, but I saw that the decks and cabins were full of children who were bundled together. Needless to say, their skin was yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged, and nearly half of them were traumatized. All of them were as numb as dead state.

I didn't feel the existence of any supernatural power, it was purely tortured by physical abuse.

At the turn of the corner, there were two big black-haired hounds biting a pile of rotten bones and meat.

Liu Yun only glanced at it, but couldn't see clearly, and couldn't help having a terrifying association, and felt a little murderous in his heart, thinking that the original idea was probably too cheap for a human trafficker.

When I got closer, I realized that the pile of rotten bones and meat looked like some kind of sea beast, and it didn't come from humans, so I was relieved a little.
