Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 63. Stranger (11)

[Extra 63. Stranger (11)]

Could it be that there are too few tributes handed in this month?

Batianang suddenly became suspicious. He secretly glanced at Luo Renjie beside him, as if he was asking for the answer in his eyes.

In front of the underworld boss, Luo Renjie looked pale, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Batianang seemed to understand something, but he was not sure if it was what he thought.

“It’s okay, right?” Wang Ming stood up with a sneer, his hands behind his back.

When Batianang heard him ask this question, he suddenly became excited. He felt that there must be something wrong with his answer, but he didn’t know where he went wrong.

Wang Ming walked slowly past Ba Tianang with square steps. He did not stop, but went straight to the trembling slave owners.

He casually grabbed a fat man’s shoulder and gently lifted him out of the crowd.

“Tell me, has their slave business been particularly good recently?”

“I…I…”

The fat slave trader looked confused, his whole body was shaking like chaff, his hands and feet were cold, and his legs were trembling a little. , and fell to his knees with a thud.

He had no idea what the boss of the Ming Gang wanted, and he didn’t know why he was chosen among so many people.

“What? You can’t answer? Aren’t you a regular customer of this bowl of rice?”

Wang Ming smiled contemptuously, turned his head, and winked at the black leather armor of one of his men. The guard immediately stepped forward, drew his weapon, and put it directly on the fat man’s neck.

“Don’t—! Don’t kill me, I don’t know anything!”

The fat man howled like a pig. His voice shocked all the slave traders around him, and they all crowded together in panic and fear. .

“Oh? You mean…you don’t know anything?” Wang Ming frowned slightly.

The fat man was in a daze. He thought he was dead, but found that the blade was still on his neck and had not moved. He suddenly realized that this was not the answer at all. At this time, his neck was cold and there was no room for hesitation. It would be better to tell the truth about the recent business situation and see what the result would be.

“No, it’s not!”

The fat man said with a sad face, desperately begging for mercy, “I remembered, Boss Ba’s business has been very good recently… very good, not only the goods are of high quality, but the volume is also large. I, that’s all I know. Come on, don’t kill me, don’t kill me… Wuwuwu…”

After hearing this, Wang Ming’s face slowly relaxed.

He pushed the fat man away and turned around to face Batianang. His subordinates understood and put away their weapons. Only then did the fat man roll and crawl back into the crowd.

In fact, Wang Ming just wanted to use this to show off and scare the people like Batianang by knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. He didn’t want to kill the fat man.

Now that the effect has been achieved, it’s time for him to get down to business.

When Ba Tianang saw Wang Ming coming to him, his mind was spinning rapidly. He had long sensed that Wang Ming meant something when he asked this question – no matter from which point of view, it seemed to be intentional. But he couldn’t figure out the complicated relationship for a while.

Wang Ming stood in front of Ba Tianang, gently took the small silver box presented by the other party, and said calmly, “In the beginning, I gave this business to you, do you know why?”

knew it in his heart, and of course he knew why.

At that time, he had some ability to modify vehicles, so after buying a few vehicles, he took his brothers to work outside and started selling slaves. Over the past few years, he had accumulated a lot of resources in his hands, and the slave business was very popular. Water rises.

However, there were other gangs in Hidden Sand Castle who were also involved in this business, and at this time Ba Tianang had some thoughts.

In order to monopolize this slave business, he made a special trip to the Xuanming Gang to worship his eldest brother. After going back and forth, he got very close to Li Renxuan and Wang Ming.

The opponent happened to be gaining momentum in Hidden Sand Castle, with strong troops and horses. After years of gang wars, Hidden Sand Castle with a population of tens of thousands is waiting for prosperity. However, both Li Renxuan and Wang Ming are not familiar with the slave trade field, and they cannot spare the energy to engage in this matter with their subordinates. They just want to find some obedient brothers. Let’s create a new situation together, so we naturally fell in love with Ba Tianang.

The other party has resources in this area, is quite familiar with the business, and is willing to hand over the offerings as scheduled, so why not do it?

Therefore, the two parties quickly reached an agreement. The Xuanming Gang supported him with force, granted Batianang the “exclusive management” of the slave business, and also helped him fight against his biggest competitors.

Relying on the support of the Xuanming Gang, Batianang closed down several rival gangs one after another, almost monopolizing the entire slave trade around Hidden Sand Castle, and became the only “legal” slave trade operator.

In addition, he also expanded this business to Iron Castle and other places hundreds of kilometers away. It can be said that it is easy to get wind and rain, and life is extremely nourishing.

In this apocalyptic era, slavery is a necessary stage of development for most human settlements. Gang bosses will never let go of this profitable business, so slave-keeping among gangs and high-ranking citizens can be said to be a tradition.

When gang wars break out frequently, it is customary to use prisoners of rival gangs as slaves. They are also the main targets of exploitation by major families. However, if wars between gangs are not as frequent as before, simply using prisoners of war as slaves will obviously not be able to meet the needs of some people.

As a result, a larger slave trade began.

Compared with the previous practice of local rulers treating slaves as coolies, Hidden Sand Castle’s positioning of slaves has changed.

At that time, the economic source of Yinsha Castle was different from that of previous human settlements. Their local resources were rich but production was relatively backward, and they mainly relied on transactions and commerce to make money.

With years of gang wars, population development is almost negative, and no one is collecting resources.

Therefore, the Xuanming Gang launched plunder wars in surrounding areas at regular intervals to make up for the shortage of resources through plunder.

Over time, slaves were no longer regarded as free labor. Large families hoped that slaves could improve their quality of life and enhance their prestige. Therefore, most of the male slaves at that time became domestic slaves, and most of the female slaves became The master’s concubine.

The absolute advantageous position allows the rich and powerful people to live a life of luxury and lust.

Therefore, their demand for slaves is also getting higher and higher. War and plunder alone can no longer meet the needs of slave owners, and the slave trade has further developed.

Even when the situation is extremely bad, a large number of civilians have no way to feed themselves. In the face of survival problems, all dreams are really worthless. The problem they face now is hunger. For this reason, they can only sell their children in exchange for necessary food.

The disadvantaged status of women in war and economic activities made them the first to be put on the shelf. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, young women were far more valuable than male slaves, which allowed slave traders to see business opportunities.

Slave traders began to travel frequently to various regions, spending large sums of money to purchase young and beautiful women.

Then they sell them to wealthy people in other areas at a higher price, making a lot of profits from them.
