Star of Civilization

Could it be that this month's tributes have been handed in less?

Ba Tianang suddenly became suspicious, he secretly glanced at Luo Renjie beside him, and his eyes seemed to be asking the other party's answer.

In front of the Ming Gang boss, Luo Renjie was pale, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

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

"It's okay, isn't it?" Wang Ming sneered and stood up, his hands behind his back.

When Ba Tianang heard his question, he was instantly shocked, feeling that there must be something wrong with his answer, but he didn't know what went wrong.

Wang Ming took a square step and walked slowly past Ba Tianang's side. He didn't stop, but went straight to the trembling slave owners.

He grabbed a fat man by the shoulder and gently lifted him out of the crowd.

"Tell me, isn't their slavery business particularly good recently?"

"me…"

The fat slave trader looked bewildered, his body trembled like a sieve, his hands and feet were cold, his legs were trembling a little, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

He had absolutely no idea what was the intention of the leader of the Ming Gang, and he didn't know why he chose himself among so many people.

"What? You can't answer? Are you not a regular customer of this bowl of rice?"

Wang Ming smiled contemptuously, turned his head away, and winked at the black leather armor of one of his subordinates. The guard immediately stepped forward, drew his weapon, and placed 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, and the sound made all the slave traders around him turn pale with fear, and they all crowded together.

"Oh? You mean...you don't know anything?" Wang Ming frowned slightly.

Fatty was a little dazed. He thought he was dead, but found that the blade was still on his neck and didn't move. He suddenly realized that this was not the answer at all. At this time, his neck was cold, and he couldn't bear any hesitation. It is better to tell the truth about the recent business situation and see what the results will be.

"No, no!"

Fatty cried and begged for mercy desperately, "I remembered, the business of Boss Ba's side has been very good recently...very good, not only the goods are high-quality, but also the volume is large. I, I know this much, don't kill me, don't Kill me... woo woo..."

Hearing this, Wang Ming's face slowly relaxed.

He pushed the fat man away, turned around and came to Ba Tianang. The subordinates would agree, put away the weapon, and the fat man just rolled and crawled back to the crowd.

In fact, Wang Ming just wanted to put on a show, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to scare Ba Tianang's gang, but he didn't want to kill the fat man.

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

Ba Tianang saw Wang Ming approaching him, and his mind turned fast at this moment. He had long felt that Wang Ming's question had something in his words—it seemed intentional in every way. But he couldn't think of the complicated relationship for a while.

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

Ba Tianang knew it, of course he knew why.

At that time, he had some ability to refit vehicles, so after building a few vehicles, he took his brothers to go outside and started selling slaves. Over the years, he has accumulated a large number of resources, and the slave business is very popular. Raw water.

However, Yinsha Castle and other gangs are also intervening in this business, and then Ba Tianang has some thoughts.

In order to take this slave business all by himself, he made a special trip to the Xuanming Gang to worship his elder brother. After going back and forth, he got very close to both Li Renxuan and Wang Ming.

And the other party is just starting to hide the sand castle, and his men are strong and strong. After years of gang battles, the hidden sand castle with a population of tens of thousands is waiting to be developed, but Li Renxuan and Wang Ming are both unfamiliar with the slave trade field, and they can't tell the energy and their subordinates to do it. They just want to find some obedient younger brothers. Create a new situation together, so naturally I fell in love with Ba Tianang.

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

Therefore, the two parties were quickly negotiated. The Xuanming Gang supported him by force, authorized Ba Tianang to "exclusively manage" the slave business, and helped him fight against his biggest competitors.

Relying on the support of the Xuanming Gang, Ba Tianang closed up several rival gangs one after another, almost monopolizing the slave trade around the entire Hidden Sand Castle, becoming the only "legal" slave trade operator.

In addition, he has also expanded this business to the Iron Fort and other places around 100 kilometers away. It can be said that the wind and the rain can make life extremely nourishing.

In this apocalyptic era, slavery is an inevitable development stage for most human gathering places. Gang bosses will never let go of this profitable business, so slave ownership by gangs and high-level citizens can be said to be a tradition.

When gang wars broke out frequently, it was customary to take prisoners of rival gangs as slaves, and they were also the main targets of exploitation by major clan forces. However, if wars between gangs are not as frequent as before, simply holding prisoners of war as slaves will obviously not meet the needs of some people.

Thus, a larger slave trade began to emerge.

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 the hidden sand castle was different from that of the previous human settlements. Their local resources were rich but their production was relatively backward, and they mainly relied on trading and business to earn money.

In the case of years of gang melee, population development is almost negative, and no one has collected resources.

Therefore, the Xuanming Gang would launch plunder wars against the surrounding areas every once in a while to make up for the shortage of resources through plundering.

After a long time, slaves were no longer regarded as free labor, and the big families hoped that slaves could improve their quality of life. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com enhanced their prestige, so most of the male slaves at that time became domestic slaves. Female slaves often became concubines of their masters.

The position of absolute dominance allows the rich and powerful to live a life of luxury.

Therefore, their demand for slaves is also getting higher and higher. Only relying on war and plundering can no longer meet the needs of slave owners, and the slave trade will further develop.

Even when the situation is extremely bad, a large number of civilians have no way to support themselves. In the face of the problem of survival, all dreams are really worthless. The problem they face now is starvation. To this end, they can only trade their children in exchange for the necessary food.

And women's disadvantaged position in war and economic activity put them on the shelf first. In the eyes of the rich and powerful, young women were far more valuable than male slaves, which opened the door for slave traders to see business opportunities.

Slave traders began to travel frequently in various regions, where they bought young and beautiful women with a lot of money.

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