Creating a Different World - Chapter 2523

[Chapter 2523 Slaves Sold Out]

“Miss!” After the agreed time, Zion came to report after gathering at the slave market, “Today, I sent out some more food to the guards, and the income is 3 silver coins less than yesterday.”

“Well!” Jia Zhengjin didn’t care, “We don’t worry about this, we will send out those who need to be sent out, and we will buy those who need to be bought.”

“Yes!” Zion was pleased, “Miss is thinking more and more thoughtfully.”

“Buy slaves!” Jia Zhengjin went straight to the sales place.

Everyone followed closely behind him and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

It was also a coincidence that he was about to step forward to let the staff in charge of buying and selling slaves introduce them to see which ones are better to choose. As a result, before he opened his mouth, he saw the other party finalize the deal: “Congratulations to Mr. Madelfo for obtaining the remaining 20 slaves. Please come here to pay and hand over the slave contract. Ladies and gentlemen, today’s slave trading ends here!”

“Sold out?” Everyone looked at each other. They had just gathered and were about to buy a batch of slaves to take back. How could it end?

Jia Zhengjin was also a little speechless, and walked straight forward and asked loudly: “Have all these slaves been bought?”

“That’s right! These slaves have been bought by Mr. Madelford, and the market will be closed early today!” The clerk replied with a smile.

“Can you negotiate and sell a few to me?”

“This. Maybe you can discuss it with Mr. Madelford! After all, these slaves already belong to him.”

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin turned to the other side, and his eyes fell on a tall and thin man wearing luxurious clothes. He should be Madelford, so he asked: “Mr. Madelford? I wonder if you can do me a favor and transfer a few slaves to me?” The

tall and thin man looked at Jia Zhengjin expressionlessly and replied coldly: “These slaves are all useful, and I don’t think they are enough!”

“Transfer a few to me, thank you?”

“Sorry!” Madelford was not interested in talking at all, and turned directly to the clerk, “Complete the transaction as soon as possible!”

“Okay!” The clerk shrugged at Jia Zhengjin, indicating that there was no way, and quickly took Madelford to sign the contract.

Madelford paid the money, loaded the slaves directly onto the carriage and took them away without looking back.

The onlookers naturally left one after another, after all, the slaves were sold out.

The staff of the slave market began to clean up, and only Jia Zhengjin and others who were a little depressed because they failed to buy slaves were left.

“Miss, what should we do?” Zion asked in a low voice.

“If we didn’t buy slaves, our plan will be postponed!” Heiman said depressedly, “We should have come earlier.” “

Why are you talking about this now?” Gru yawned, “Since we didn’t buy slaves, let’s go home!”

Jia Zhengjin and Tina and others looked at each other, thought for a while, and walked towards the staff who was in charge of the sale.

The busy staff noticed Jia Zhengjin approaching and turned back with a puzzled expression: “Miss, is there anything else?”

“I would like to ask, how long will it take for the next batch of slaves to arrive?”

Facing his question, the staff shook his head, turned around and said: “That’s uncertain. It could be as short as one day or as long as a month. As for the number of slaves, it is also determined by the official prison. Even if there are slaves today, it will take half a day to transport them to us. Anyway, just wait for news!” “

Are all your slaves purchased from official prisons?”

“Yes! This is the only formal channel. Anyway, the official prisons in the surrounding cities are overcrowded or are preparing to clear the number of people. It is the best time to buy slaves.” The staff replied, “In short, just wait patiently and don’t worry.”

“Miss, it seems that our luck is not very good.” Zion came over and said, “Why don’t

we go back first?” “Yes! Let’s go back first?” Heiman nodded in agreement.

“Since they are all sold out, let’s withdraw?” Tina also felt that she couldn’t buy slaves, so she went home first.

Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, took out ten copper coins and handed them to the clerk: “Is there any other way to buy slaves? No need to wait.”

The clerk saw the copper coins, thought about it for a while, smiled and took it: “Maybe you can go find Kubo.”

“Kubo?” Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, turned to look at Zion, “Could it be the Kubo just now?”

“Is it?” Zion was not very sure, stepped forward and asked, “The Kubo you are talking about, is it the captain of the town patrol team?”

The clerk nodded: “Yes! He is the mayor’s nephew, maybe he can help.”

As he spoke, he packed up everything and led his men into the building next to him.

“Kubo!” Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment and looked back at Zion, “In that case, let’s go visit Kubo. It just so happens that he took our things and promised to help. What a coincidence!”

“But Miss,” Zion looked around and whispered, “Even if he is the mayor’s nephew, the mayor cannot sell slaves. Is it useful to find him?”

“Since the people in the slave market said so, it must not be groundless. Let’s go and see the situation first!”

“Yes!”

Anyway, Jia Zhengjin has the final say. It’s still early to go back now.

It’s actually very simple for so many people to find Kubo. He has been patrolling in the town. Asking the surrounding people will know the specific location.

Soon they came to the area where Kubo was patrolling, and Zion took the initiative to ask.

“You want to buy slaves? Then you have to go to the slave market. Why are you looking for me?” Kubo asked with a smile after hearing this.

“The slaves at the slave market have been sold out, and I don’t know when the next batch will arrive.” Zion said, “The people in the market said you have a way, and didn’t you say before that you can help as long as the matter is not big? Our lady is in urgent need of a batch of slaves. There is a lot of work in the mountains and we need manpower. If you can arrange it for us, we can double the wild water chestnut rice and other specialties we provide you every day.”

“Is that so?” Kubo pinched his chin and thought for a while, “I’m not sure I can help. So, you come with me. I can’t guarantee it, but I can try my best to ask for you.”

“Thank you, Captain Kubo!”

“Continue patrolling!” Kubo ordered his men to leave first, and turned around and said, “You follow me!”

“Miss!” Zion came over to ask.

“Yes!” Jia Zhengjin nodded, “Let’s go!”

The group followed Kubo and soon arrived at the mayor’s house.

“Wait a moment!” When they arrived at the door, Kubo asked them to wait and went to knock on the door.

Not long after, the mayor’s wife opened the door and saw Jia Zhengjin and others. She was stunned at first, and then whispered to Kubo what was going on.

“Aunt.” Kubo immediately whispered the situation again, “Can you ask uncle? These people are residents of the mountains outside our town. They are quite sensible. The new food and soybean oil I brought back were donated by them.”

“Is that so?” The mayor’s wife thought for a moment, “He is over at the blacksmith shop. You take the guests and wait for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes!”
