In 671, under the auspices of the Sixth Brave Man, the Philippian Empire officially promulgated the "Slave Act."
The bill did not prohibit purchasing or becoming slaves, but clarified the slave household registration system and slave rights, and at the same time imposed very strict restrictions on the profession of slave traders.
Once the bill was introduced, it caused an uproar.
As the founder of Hogwarts, the Sixth Brave is the most intelligent magician among the braves. He is not an idealist. He knew very well that under the backward social system and social productivity, the slave trade could not be eradicated at all. This bill aimed to protect the rights and interests of slaves and abolish the rules of "slavery for generations" and "prohibition of intermarriage".
Because of the asymmetry of force, slave uprisings that broke out in this world basically ended in failure. High-level professionals can kill ordinary people as easily as crushing ants. Manor owners often only need to hire one security guard to watch over dozens or hundreds of slaves. In this social context, the treatment of slaves can be imagined.
They are killed and thrown away when they are old, women are used to give birth to children, and children face a tragic future of slavery from birth. The slave selection system of "breeding and breeding" is popular in society, that is, slaves with small appetites and strong physical strength are selected to breed offspring, optimize the human race, and increase the efficiency of slave production work.
Slaves at that time were deeply involved in all kinds of social production. It was common for even a small nobleman in the North to have hundreds of slaves in his family, let alone the rich lands in the South. There may be tens of thousands of slaves in a noble territory to ensure food, drink, housing and transportation for one person. You can imagine how difficult it is for brave people to implement the "Slave Act".
Fortunately, the Sixth Hero is not an unreasonable person.
He first worshiped the portraits of three gods at home, named "Chongba", "Loving Father", and "You Tai", and asked the gods to come to his body.
Then he visited the Philippe nobles door to door and said strange things to everyone, such as "You seem to be a bit too much of the Nine Clans", "I opened a big hotel in the Gulag", "I think your child looks like Hamas" .....
Within half a year, Philip's "Slave Act" was implemented in all aspects of society and was implemented very well.
He then spent more than two years lobbying across the continent, promoting bill ideas in various countries, and urging monarchs to reach a consensus.
I'm very talkative, and if you can't understand people, my staff also knows a little bit about fists and kicks.
Some people tried to resist, and soon they were one year old.
king? How many divisions can he have? Hit the Earth Explosion Star to see your strength.
Yes, this is Master Fa, an immortal with 4700 blue bars, 329 spell power, and 201 intelligence. It has output, has a shield, and can hit low and high. There are controls, even the cooldown time is only 1 second, and it only costs 15 mana points. When chanting, you can even refresh the CD of magic items, as well as the range damage. Then, after the intelligence and magic power are improved, you can also obtain dual spell casting, shorten the chanting of ninth-level magic, and cast it twice in one breath, and then there are summons. When the devil saw it, he ahhhhhhh!!!
As time has passed, thanks to the development of magic technology and the improvement of social productivity, the number of slaves in the world of Terra has been greatly reduced, and the working environment and welfare system have been relatively well protected.
Today in 1428, the "Slave Act" has gone through several revisions and has become a law abided by by all human countries. Now the main source of slaves on the continent are basically war refugees and orphans from the Western Continent. There will also be some down-and-out people in various countries who voluntarily become slaves, because becoming a slave can get a very considerable selling fee. The adventurer brother did it when he was desperate. this.
Nowadays, ordinary civilians can no longer afford to hire slaves. Apart from the army, the only employment direction for slaves is from nobles or wealthy merchant families. Taking the Kingdom of Ron as an example, it will accept a certain number of refugees from the Western Continent. Those who have money will go with you, while those who have no money will become slaves. After working for the employer for 70 years, if you have no criminal record and are well received by the employer, you can get rid of your slave status and become a Ron citizen and enjoy corresponding welfare benefits. This is generally the case in other countries.
Even though it was embarrassing to be a slave, in fact, compared to the ferocious Western Continent, the Southern Continent was simply a paradise.
Especially for big countries like Ron and Philip, joining the army does not lead to war, and being a slave means you have two days off. If you work hard and join the army, you can become a naturalized citizen in 30 years. If you don’t want to work hard and be a slave for 70 years, you can become a naturalized citizen. The Western Continent even developed a business of smuggling people to the South to work as slaves. This is probably the sixth brave person who enacted the "Slave Act" back then. Unexpected.
Ron and Philip are the first choice destinations. If you are an ordinary refugee, they will not let you in. The men must be strong and honest, and the women must be well-behaved and beautiful. But even if the quality is excellent, it can usually only be sold to wealthy businessmen or lifelong noble families. Hereditary nobles are not to be ignored.
Why don't the great nobles want it? Because of shame.
The servants of a noble family are not so much slaves as they are honorary employees who have worked in the noble family for generations. This kind of servant is usually proficient in all kinds of etiquette and extremely loyal. At first glance, he does not look like an ordinary servant.
Their treatment is often much better than that of urban white-collar workers. Not only will the nobles take care of all matters concerning the birth, old age, illness, and death of their domestic slaves, and they will arrange for them to live in their own homes, they will also receive quite generous monthly salaries and vacations. The best among them can even marry into the master's family, such as Fu Lei's wife is Yu Gongxi's distant niece.
Great nobles usually compare the number of hereditary servants in their families, because the more servants who serve the same master for generations, the more it shows that the master's family is well-off, has a good family tradition, treats others generously, and can retain people.
As for slaves, they are generally not needed because they are not about saving face and are simply laughed at.
But after the servants of Earl Cavendish's family were evaporated by the wizard, they now had to buy some slaves to keep the manor running.
So Peter accompanied Yu Gongxi to the largest slave market in the inner city.
The slave market is actually right behind the city hall and looks like a department store selling furniture.
In the morning, it seemed like it was going to snow again, and the sky was overcast.
Along with Amamiya Yu, in addition to Peter Frey, there were also her cousins Tadoshi Konno and Harry.
The fat man Tadokoro Konno went to play with the prince yesterday, and he looked quite satisfied when he came back.
As soon as Cavendish's carriage stopped at the entrance of the market, the person in charge of the slave market eagerly greeted him.
The slave trade throughout Rowan is run by a chamber of commerce called Dongyingdu. I heard that Earl Cavendish's family was short of people to buy slaves, so high-quality new slaves from several cities around Aknaits were recruited. It took a whole day and night to take the train and rush it to the market.
Amamiya Yu wears a very simple and elegant white sweater with two cute furry balls hanging on the collar, which makes her look like a winter girl.
"Although these servants at home are good, they are servants of other people's families after all. They want to spy on me every day. Hey, these nobles..."
"The lady is right...if they stay for a long time, it will be a debt of gratitude..."
"My mother said that they are sending someone over, but I don't know if they can arrive before the New Year."
"Oh, several retired servants from the territory also rushed over after hearing about this. They will probably arrive tonight..."
"It's obviously Frey. Do you miss your wife?"
"Miss, you are really perceptive."
"It's so frank to admit..."
Amamiya Yu and Frey walked among the crowd and chatted, while the person in charge of the mall led the way.
Peter followed behind, and with Harry around, he didn't worry about Amamiya Yu's travel safety at all.
He was carrying the animal bone club and wearing a suit, looking like a casually dressed player in an MMO online game.
That's right, the classic troll shrinks the defense tower to defend against gank.
When Tadokoro Konno heard the two chatting, he also stepped forward and chimed in:
"Why don't you go directly to your brother-in-law... Oh no, the prince wants someone? They are all palace maids, and the service... Hey, you didn't even start to ask for help?"
"Brother-in-law?" Amamiya Xi glanced at him with a sneer, "Onii-chan, you went to play with someone for a day and sold your sister?"
Tadokoro Imano's hair stood on end.
"Nonsense! Who do you think your brother is?"
"That's it...then how many gifts did you receive from Satili?"
"What gift?" Tadokoro Konno pretended to be crazy, "Did he give me anything?"
"Frey, go back and throw away all the bags in his room."
"Hey, hey! Xiao Xi, I was wrong, Xiao Xi..."
With the fat man wailing, everyone entered the slave market building.
"This is not alien at all."
Peter looked at everything familiar, his head filled with black lines.
God damn slave market, isn’t this a human agency?
Refugees from the Western Continent and slaves captured from the Nanyang Islands sat in rows on the bench for anyone to choose from. Most of the people here are men. They have work badges hanging on their chests to mark the prices. When they see customers coming, even in the middle of winter, they hurriedly take off their coats to expose their arm muscles. If there hadn't been a morning meeting in the mall, I'm afraid these guys would People started selling them directly.
Those who are tall or short will be more expensive, generally priced around 70 gold coins. There are also some with special offer signs. Not only do they look thin, but their faces are not very good-looking, they are all people with diseases or defects.
The person in charge of the market introduced everyone: "These are all leftovers from the army, or young men who are unwilling to join the army. The slaves we bought back are all good at farming, and their origins are very clean. Our slaves have a three-year warranty. If you die due to a congenital disease, you will be compensated, and your temperament will be docile and obedient..."
Yu Gongxi also glanced at him in cooperation and gave a faint "hmm".
These were not the people she wanted, but these were the people the person in charge wanted to sell to Amemiya Xi. Everyone has tried their best to help, so some respect should be given.
How much can you sell a high-quality slave for? Cavendish owns almost 100,000 acres of arable land, all of which are cash crops such as coffee beans and tea. Most of it was abandoned when the old earl was absent. Now that Amamiya is back, he must buy some slaves to cultivate the land. stand up?
Only by measuring up can you make money, which is why the slave market pleases Amamiya Yu.
Peter was wandering around. The slaves sitting on the chairs were different from the description of medieval slaves with lifeless eyes and dull eyes in his impression. Although they could not be said to be very energetic, they were definitely not abused. Most of them look like they are dawdling at work, and they feel similar to the social animals in their hometown...
It's just fishing, it's not about doing anything, just living. When I was waiting to get off work, one end of the bowl was covered, and I had everything in my dream.
But at the end of the slave line, Peter saw a skinny little black man.
"Hey, it finally feels like a slave market."
Looking again, the price tag hanging around his neck was only 1 gold coin, which was a bargain price.
“It’s more to the point!”
Harry looked over and frowned in confusion.
"It's not like the natives of the Nanyang Islands..."
Most of the people in the Nanyang Islands have brown skin, but there are also black uncles who are particularly dark. They are all extremely remote tribal indigenous people. Most of their hair is curly and stiff, but this man has straight red hair and a dark complexion. Very high class too.
Just like black pearls.
"Why does he only sell it for 1 gold coin?" Peter asked the Chamber of Commerce personnel on the side.
"Well, he doesn't speak Terran and is so small, so the price is very affordable."
"Souga, I thought I had AIDS."
"?"
"Peter, let's go."
Yu Gongxi called him to go upstairs.
"coming."
Before Peter left, he subconsciously turned on the system and took a look at the black man's divination quote.
30 soul crumbs.
Peter shook his head. This man might have some stories, but not much.
There are much fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor. They are all men who look well-trained. There are even low-level knights who have escaped from the battlefields of the Western Continent. The prices are twice as high as those on the first floor. The lowest price is It also starts at 120 gold coins.
Amegong Xi here doesn't like them. They are all sold to wealthy businessmen as bodyguards or thugs. The person in charge directly led everyone to the third floor.
Peter only felt that he had seamlessly switched from the agency to the KTV private room.
Damn, why choose a princess?
The environment on the third floor is much better than that on the first and second floors. Most of the people here are female slaves, and there are also a few men with good looks and strong physiques.
The slaves on the third floor are roughly divided into three types: good-looking girls, average-looking but honest female slaves, and experienced maids with various housekeeping skills.
Maid is mainly sold to nobles, female slaves are purchased by wealthy businessmen as nannies, and young girls...
I don’t know, but girl slaves that no one comes to buy during the day account for 40% of the slave market sales.
The "Slave Act" stipulates that minors are not allowed to be sold as slaves, but when Amamiya Yu came up, the person in charge took out a large group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls from the room on the third floor.
These are the servants Cavendish Manor needs.
These girls don’t need to know anything, they only have one requirement————
orphan.
Train etiquette and maid skills from scratch, and serve as apprentices to maids transferred from other places. In this way, in two or three years, the earl manor will have a group of obedient and loyal servants.
Mature maids or women cannot and do not dare to buy. Who knows if they have been planted by someone with good intentions?
It is safest only for these war orphans from the Western Continent to be given grace and then trained to become one of their own.
For them, becoming a servant of the Earl's family also meant getting a golden job, so they tried their best to behave well and wait for the selection.
The fat man was not very interested in three-dimensional women and stayed back to admire the maid costumes.
Peter and Harry were waiting on the side, guarding the entrance and exit of the stairs, and the security guards were doing their duty.
"Brother Ni had such a weird name just now..."
Harry heard Peter's mumbling and asked in confusion: "What's the name?"
"The black man's."
"How do you know what his name is?"
"Selavanapal...it's such a convoluted last name, I feel it's not as good as Kobe."
"?"
Harry suddenly froze.
"What did you say his last name was?"
"Seravanapal....what's wrong?"
"Fuck it," Harry turned his head sharply, "Dark Elf?!"
