Chapter Eight, Barbarians.
Okay! Su Lun immediately agreed.
After receiving the heavy gold coins and seeing Sulun paying so readily, he knew that he had made a loss in this sale. However, he was the one who was in a hurry to sell and had been caught at a weak point.
Last month, when he had just started in the industry, a slave trader, unable to repay a huge debt, sold his slaves to other slave traders. Among them were over a hundred barbarians. At that time, this group of barbarians, despite their strong power, were ignored by everyone due to their large families. In the end, he got a bargain.
Sell off that burden, but there is not a trace of joy in Khan's heart. He lost at least seven hundred gold coins in this deal. He bought this batch of slaves for ten gold dinars, and then provided them with food and rented a venue. These expenses almost bankrupted him.
So he spent most of his gold dinars and bought this group of barbarians. After buying this group of barbarians, Khan began to promote them everywhere, but the result was a complete failure.
This military camp is located in a remote area and has a history of at least a hundred years. In the past, because it was on the front line and had a library, there were many troops stationed in the Celtic city. Later, as the territory expanded, this place was no longer on the front line, and the standing army was reduced. Naturally, the military camp became vacant. Many idle military camps have been demolished due to urban development, but this one has been preserved because of its remote location.
"What's the use of keeping these elderly, weak, women, and children? It costs money to support them. I don't have enough food to provide for them. Since you insist on selling them together, then you keep them." After saying this, Su Lun made a gesture to leave again.
After comforting himself in his heart, Kahn quickly completed the transaction with Suren and handed over the slave contract of those barbarians to Suren.
If he can't sell this batch of slaves, he may have to go back home and inherit his father's business by the end of this month. His ambitious words of starting a career have become empty promises.
"Yes, how much for these slaves?" Suren pointed to the group of barbarians next to him.
Although this business deal resulted in a loss, at least there are still over 700 gold coins. As long as I am diligent and follow my own business theory, I can quickly earn it back. My business kingdom, belonging to me, Kahn, is about to set sail.
Six pieces, six pieces of gold dinars. Seeing Suren about to leave, Kahn reluctantly closed his eyes and said with a hint of unwillingness, "But these weak and old women, children, and warriors are sold together!"
Kahn has been suffering from severe headaches recently. As a slave trader, he recently acquired a batch of slaves. Just last month, he was deceived by someone.
Ten gold dinars? Are you not awake yet?Suren looked at Kahn with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you planning to treat me like a king?"
Cardinal was a bit troubled, "Sir, those women and children are the families of these soldiers. Without their loved ones, it would be difficult for them to serve you wholeheartedly."
Collecting the slave contract, Suren left the slave market with these barbarians. With so many slaves, they needed to find a place to settle as soon as possible. Fortunately, Suren was also a nobleman, and he quickly bought an idle barracks from the city hall.
Suren took a look at these barbarians. About one-fourth of them are male warriors, and the rest are elderly, weak, women, and children. The male warriors all have many wounds on their bodies, clearly elite fighters. Although this slave trader talks a lot, these slaves are indeed not bad.
Later, after some inquiries, it was learned that no one would buy the barbarians as guards due to their berserk nature. In other words, this batch of slaves was stuck in his hands. What's even more frustrating for him is that his money is running out.
Seven gold dinars, seven gold dinars!" Kain quickly exclaimed, feeling the struggling force in his hand.
... ....
Suren contacted a merchant to purchase some materials, hired craftsmen to renovate the house, and then went to the training ground in the camp to prepare for a chat with the slaves he had just bought.
Do you sell these slaves? Su Lun asked the slave trader who was staring blankly in front of him.
There are a total of 126 people here, each with six gold naels. Together, it is 756 gold naels. This is the payment. Please count it. Suren took out a money bag, counted some from it, and then threw the remaining gold naels and the money bag to Kahn without giving him a chance to back out.
Seeing the hero who was finally waiting to take over leaving, Kahn couldn't care less. He grabbed Sullivan and said, "Sir, the price is negotiable. Don't rush to leave!"
Any random adult barbarian can easily overpower him in terms of height and muscle. On the training ground, 126 barbarians stood silently, their eyes coldly fixed on Suren. Although he was a slave, they didn't seem to care much about him.
Sir, you have such great insight. The slaves I have here are definitely the best in the slave market. Look at this strong warrior, he only costs ten gold nars. You won't find a lower price in the entire slave market!" Kahn enthusiastically introduced to Suren, afraid that the potential buyer who came to his door would run away.
The reason why barbarians are called barbarians is because of their strength. Unlike the people of Florence, barbarians are generally around two meters tall. Suren's height of 1.9 meters is already outstanding among the people of Florence. In addition, he has been practicing martial arts for years, and his muscles are also very strong. However, compared with these barbarians, he is completely inferior.
No one is willing to buy these barbarians, even if he lowers the price lower than the price he bought them for, no one will show any interest. Each of the more than one hundred barbarians can eat more than the other, and in a month's time, not a single slave has been sold, but instead a large amount of food has been consumed.
Seven gold dinars? If this price is still acceptable, but I only want those adult warriors!
"Sell, of course sell? Do you want to buy a slave?" Kane stared at Suren with shining eyes, making Suren feel a bit uneasy.
As expected by Suren, this military camp is in a state of disrepair, with many roofs of the buildings in the camp collapsed. Fortunately, there was no cutting corners during the construction, so the main structure of the buildings is still relatively sturdy, and the area of the military camp is also large enough. As long as the roofs are repaired, they can be inhabited.
These berserkers are completely unwanted goods. You actually want ten gold narls. Keep them for yourself.
In Kahn's mind, it is easier to control when the whole family is brought along. With these elderly, weak, women, and children in hand, these barbarians will not betray. Selling these powerful barbarians to noble gentlemen as private guards is definitely the best choice.
Uh... Hearing Su Lun's clean and decisive agreement, Kahn didn't react for a moment.
Why not leave? Are you waiting to be cheated by this unscrupulous merchant? Sulun struggled to break free from Kahn's grip.
