Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; I want some small slaves. Help me contact them and see if there are any suitable ones. We can discuss the price. &Quot;
“I can contact as many slaves as you want, my Lord,” Lin Li said, nodding.
Zhao Hai nodded and thought for a while, ” &Quot; how about this? the island of gold needs a lot of slaves now. The 400 slaves I want today are only for the castle in Carson City. There are no slaves in the island of gold. Can you buy some slaves according to their families? there are young slaves, old and experienced slaves, and young slaves. It’s also convenient for me to manage them. &Quot;
Lin Li couldn’t help but look at Zhao Hai in a new light. Although it was a simple matter to buy slaves, most people would buy young and strong slaves. Very few people would buy old slaves because they had been doing heavy work for a long time. As they grew older, their health would not be very good. Such slaves might die within two years, so no one was willing to buy them.
However, Lin Li, who had been in the slave business for a long time, knew that those old slaves would be of great use at times. Although they were illiterate, some of them had planted seeds for their entire lives, and were very familiar with the situation in the fields. They knew what diseases the plants had and when was the best time to farm. Some of them could even roughly predict the weather. This was definitely an amazing ability.
But now, many nobles didn’t know this. Those nobles with territories might not have been to their own fields in their entire lives, so they didn’t know about farming at all. Some nobles without old slaves, their land income was about two levels lower than those families with old slaves.
However, this gap was noticed by many nobles. What they noticed was whether the slave was strong or not, so many slaves didn’t live long before they died of exhaustion.
A slave that could live to old age was actually a treasure. In the eyes of Lin Li and the rest, old slaves should be more expensive than young slaves. Unfortunately, many aristocrats didn’t see this. When the old slaves were old and couldn’t work anymore, many of them died miserably.
Lin Li understood why Zhao Hai wanted to buy some small slaves. These small slaves were very flexible. If they were allowed to learn craftsmanship, the price of these small slaves would rise by more than ten times. Many slave traders now did this. They bought small slaves and found some craftsman slaves to teach them. When these small slaves grew up and learned, they would sell them at the price of craftsman slaves and make a lot of money.
Zhao Hai wanted to buy slaves based on family units. It was indeed easier to manage. Lin Li had seen too many slaves go crazy because their children were sold, and they were all killed in the end. Slaves were also people. Lin Li understood this, so he agreed with Zhao Hai’s approach.
Zhao Hai looked at Lin Li, and asked in confusion,”What’s wrong, Lin Li? Is there a problem?”
Lin Li snapped back to his senses, and shook his head. &Quot; no, no problem. How many slaves do you want, my Lord? ”
&Quot; 100000, ” Zhao Hai said after some thought. &Quot; it doesn’t matter if it’s a little more, but it can’t be less. &Quot;
Lin Li was even happier. He immediately said, &Quot; don’t worry, my Lord. I’ll have 100000 slaves ready in a month. I’ll send them to the Golden Island. &Quot;
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, ” when you’re ready, go to my Castle and inform me. Then I’ll tell you where to send them. Okay, send the slaves I bought today to my Castle. Count how much they cost. &Quot;
Lin Li replied, and ran to the side to make some calculations.”Lord Marquis, the total is 213000 gold coins. Lord Marquis only needs to pay 210000 gold coins. I’ll round down the 3000 gold coins.”
Zhao Hai smiled and flipped his hand. Two crystal cards appeared. They were anonymous. One was 200000 Yuan and the other was 10000 Yuan. As long as you took these two cards to the bank, you could get the money. They were usually used by nobles.
A crystal card like this was specially made by the bank. There were all kinds of denominations and on it was the bank’s Mark. It was not an ordinary mark, but a magic array unique to the bank. As long as energy was injected, it could be distinguished from the real.
Lin Li was someone who dealt with money all year round. He could tell at a glance whether the card was real or fake. Besides, a famous person like Zhao Hai would never use a fake crystal Gold Card.
Lin Li accepted the two crystal cards, and said to Zhao Hai, &Quot; don’t worry, my Lord. Do you want to go and take a look at the craftsman slaves? ”
Zhao Hai shook his head. &Quot; no need. I believe you won’t lie to me. There aren’t many people in this world who would dare to lie to me. &Quot;
Lin Li’s heart skipped a beat. Zhao Hai was not joking. He was right. There were not many people in the world who would dare to lie to him. Those who dared to lie to him were all dead. Not to mention him, even the people behind him would not dare to offend Zhao Hai.
Lin Li immediately laughed. &Quot; Marquis, you must be joking. Our small shop can’t withstand your wrath. Don’t worry, I promise to deliver the person you want safely. &Quot;
