Chapter 210: The Slave Market
Sometimes even people from the Western Jin Dynasty and Dongxiang would come to Jinling City in South Vietnam to buy slaves.
Because there are a complete variety of slaves here, many large families who want to buy slaves as coolies, or want to buy a caretaker's home, will choose to come to this slave market.
The slave market in Jinling City not only sold slaves, but also opened a fighting ground.
There are many types of arenas, including one-on-one slave fights, one-on-one beast-man fights, and one-on-one beast-to-group fights. Spectators can not only buy tickets to enter the audience, but also participate in gambling. So business here is very hot.
And the slaves of this slave market still have some origins. Because most of the slaves here came from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Northern Wei Dynasty is located in the north of the Kyushu continent, the climate is cold, some places even have only two or three months of spring throughout the year, and the rest of the time is in the extremely cold and harsh climate.
The north was dry and rainless, and the Northern Wei authorities, that is, the triplets of the Baili family, after recovering power, the first thing they did was to expel the Divine Cult from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and without the protection of the Divine Cult, the climate of the Northern Wei Dynasty has become even worse in recent years.
Although the imperial family was very good to the people, and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty were simple, most of the people only believed in their own emperor, but the Northern Wei Dynasty was known for its barren land, poor materials, and overstretched treasury.
This is also the biggest reason why the Northern Wei Dynasty has never been able to unify other countries despite its strong folk customs. Because there was no money, it was more than enough to defend the territory, but it was really not enough to support a large-scale battle.
The economy of the Central Plains of the Northern Wei Dynasty was slightly better, and the poorest areas were the grassland areas north of the Central Plains, where people often starved to death.
Therefore, many grassland men living in the Northern Wei Dynasty had no choice but to go to countries like South Vietnam to make money in order to earn money to supplement their families.
Most of the steppe men were tall and had well-developed limbs, and when they came to a place like South Vietnam, they could only earn money by selling their labor. The most convenient and quick way is to voluntarily demote yourself to slavery, enter the slave market, and wait for the master to buy you.
In order to maximize profits, the operators of the slave market sat on the ground and raised the price of each slave.
In the beginning, many large families were willing to spend money to buy slaves, but as more and more slaves increased, the price of slaves did not fall but rose, and even if those large families had money, they would not be too difficult to get along with their own money.
Prairie men are just taller and stronger, but their role is similar to that of ordinary caretakers. So gradually, in order to save costs, everyone generally asks someone to introduce them, or directly asks their own maids to introduce relatives in the countryside to do these jobs of caring for the home.
Therefore, there are not many large people who really go to the slave market to buy slaves, which leads to the oversupply of the entire slave market.
The slaves signed a contract with the slave market to sell themselves, and even if they couldn't find an employer, they couldn't leave, and the end result was that the slave market operators got their wish and made it the largest gladiatorial arena in the entire Kyushu continent to earn more money for themselves.
The slaves could not walk, could not escape, could only stay in this cage for their fate, and those unscrupulous operators only provided them with the most basic food and clothing.
No one wants to participate in gladiatorial fights, because gladiatorial fights mean a large degree of death.
