Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Human Market



Hua Kai sold 8 horses in one day, and each horse was only 20 silver at most. The 8 horses were sold for a total of 239 gold and 20 silver, which was not a small amount of money.

In the afternoon, when the stalls were closed, everyone in Huajiabao surrounded Hua Kai, fearing that he would be approached by outsiders. They did not relax until they left Guangxian City. Little did they know that Hua Kai's gold had been stored in the space.

The next day, Huajiabao continued to come to the market and sold 5 horses a day. Hua Kai didn't want to sell the remaining five horses, but he was seen by the city guards and sold them all to the city guards for 26 gold each.

26 gold is indeed cheap, but Hua Kai knows that the city guards belong to the Li family, and the Li family is the spokesperson of the Qi family in Guangxian City, so it will be easier to talk to the county lieutenant Li family in the future.

After the 18 horses were sold, Hua Kai already had 550 gold in his hand. With a huge sum of money in hand, Hua Kai's first thought was to refine pills and equipment.

He came to the family weapon shop and asked his second uncle to go to the county to find out where he could buy special metals, and by the way, see if there were any spiritual medicines to buy. Having a handy weapon can greatly improve a person's strength. For example, the fifth uncle had the Zhenggu Sword, which was given by his teacher. It could not be damaged even if the innate true qi was injected. This allowed him to use his own true qi and even righteousness at will, and his strength was perfectly exerted.

The second uncle went to the Jubao Pavilion in the county to inquire about it. There was indeed a piece of meteorite iron for sale here. Meteorite iron is one of the important materials for forging fine weapons. This piece of meteorite iron is not small, weighing more than 40 kilograms. Jubao Pavilion is the property of the Zheng family, the deacon of Guang County (official name, deputy to the county magistrate). The Zheng family is one of the two eighth-grade families in Guang County. It is said that they have a good relationship with many large families in Linzi City. The other party offered a price of 600 gold.

More than 40 kilograms of meteorite iron should not be expensive at 600 gold. This meteorite iron is an excellent material for refining fine weapons and even treasures, but Huajiabao can't take out so much gold to buy meteorite iron.

Spring is the time when spiritual medicine is most scarce. There is no spiritual medicine for sale in Guang County. Hua Kai, with money in his hand, cannot buy what he needs.

It was still early, and the fourth uncle suggested going to the human market. The human market here is not about buying and selling slaves, but many unemployed people come here to try their luck. Many families need to recruit servants to guard the house, or lack tenants for farming, which can be found here. Of course, the most common thing here is the sale of maids.

Poor families send their daughters to big families. Being maids for a few years can not only reduce the family's living pressure, but also get a considerable commission. It is best for these girls to stay in the master's family when they grow up. Even if they are not favored by the master's family, they can learn a lot of things that ordinary families cannot learn in the employer's family, so many people are willing to send their daughters to big families as maids.

When they came to the human market, there were a lot of people here. As soon as they stepped into the human market, Huajiabao was surrounded. There are many people here who specialize in hiring business. He recommends excellent talents to employers. As long as the transaction is completed, there will be a certain commission, and many times the commission is paid by the employer.

Hua Zihuan drove away the people who surrounded him. Guang County was not only home to aristocratic families, but also had many families as powerful as Huajiabao. They all had their own way of survival in this county, which made Guang County so prosperous.

"Master! Please be kind! My daughter works quickly and eats little, so she only needs 2 taels of silver a year..."

A skinny woman looked to be in her 20s, and looked like she had been malnourished for a long time. The girl in her arms looked only 6 or 7 years old, and looked at the passers-by in fear.

Hua Kai would not be kind here. There was no telling how many people died of starvation in Guang County every year. He checked the qualifications of the mother and daughter and found that they were both F-level, so he turned around to look at the next target.

People looking for jobs in the human market are generally divided into three categories, and it is very easy to distinguish these three categories.

The first category, which is also the favorite of all families, is the young rangers. They stand there and need to choose a good employer, just like choosing a lord. Generally, if they can negotiate, they will sign a 3 to 10-year agreement. During these years, he must continue to serve the master, otherwise he will have to return double the commission.

The second category is those families who seek shelter with their families. They usually choose a better master and have to serve the master for life, without any wages.

The third category is people who seek short-term jobs, including those who want to sell their daughters as maids.

Hua Kai has always hoped to pick up some missed geniuses here, but after walking half of the street, he saw very few C-level qualifications. Most of the people who can come here are civilians. Genius-level figures have long been discovered by major families and taken into their own families. Although the big families do not have the same [True Eye] as Hua Kai, they all have their own way of judging people.

"Ask the family of this girl if they are willing to sign a long-term contract with Huajiabao." Hua Kai saw a girl in her teens with a talent of B+, so he said to his fourth uncle beside him, and the fourth uncle went to negotiate with the other party. Hua Kai found that there are quite a lot of high-quality girls in this market.

"The girl's family said they can sign a long-term contract, but not a life contract, 36 silver." The fourth uncle asked the child's family and said to Hua Kai.

A life contract means that after selling your own child, you have no relationship with him or her. It will be difficult to meet him or her in the future. Moreover, if the child dies in the county government of the master's family, it is only a symbolic fine at most. Generally, few people sell their daughters for a life contract.

For a living contract, a lump sum of money must be given to the girl's family. The girl can redeem herself at any time, but the redemption must return all the money she paid for selling herself, and she must also pay the expenses of the master's family for so many years, and have a holiday every year to go home to visit relatives.

Hua Kai gave the girl's family 36 silver, and the girl followed Hua Kai with an uneasy look on her face. Although Huajiabao is a village outside the city, it is quite famous in Guang County. Being able to sell their daughter to Huajiabao, the girl's family can also feel much more at ease.

After walking for another half an hour, Hua Kai bought two more maids with B-level qualifications. At this time, he saw a tall teahouse surrounded by people.

This is the only building of scale in Renshi, and it is one of the most influential places of the Han family in Guangxian. Now is the busiest time here. Hua Kai often hears people say that there are often geniuses appearing in the teahouses in Guangxian Renshi, and they can be recruited as long as they have money. He must go in and take a look when he walks here today.

"Sir! Where do you want to sit? There are two empty tables in the front row!" The waiter saw that Hua Kai had more than ten people and brought three girls with him, and knew that they were real buyers who came to the market to pick people.

Hua Kai saw that this teahouse had two floors. The upper floor was decorated very beautifully with various silk brocades. The lower floor was where Hua Kai was staying now. There were many people, but most of them were standing. Those who could sit at the table and drink tea were not civilians in terms of their clothes.

"Lead the way!" Hua Kai said.

"Okay! 12 people at the front table, 20 taels of silver! Please come this way, sir!"

The closer the seat is to the front, the higher the cost, and the tea served is also different. Hua Kai sat down and paid 20 silver, and the waiter brought cakes and tea.

The three girls who had just been bought by Hua Kai were trembling and dared not look up. Their clothes were tattered and thin, which was out of tune with the environment here. Hua Kai gestured for them to sit down, but they still did not dare to sit down.

"Okay! If you three like to stand, then stand!" Hua Kai did not force them.

There was a platform in the middle of the teahouse. A young man about 20 years old stood on the platform. He quietly waited for someone from the second-floor family to choose him. If not, it would be the turn of the ordinary family on the first floor to choose.

No one on the second floor spoke, and the host on the stage spoke.

"This Mr. Deng Lun is 24 years old this year, with the strength of the first level of Kaiyuan Realm. He has practiced the intermediate Huang-level Tyrant Blade to perfection. He is willing to serve a powerful family for 3 years for 20 gold. Is there any family willing..." The host was still trying hard to promote this young man. The young man had begun to get impatient. He was also a genius in his own family. He entered the family to find a way out for his family, but it was not so easy to get in touch with the family.

"No one bids on the second floor, so what about the first floor? Is there a yard that will hire a Kaiyuan realm expert for 3 years for 20 gold? It's a rare opportunity." The host continued to sell hard. If they get the 20 gold, their teahouse will take a 10% commission.

Hua Kai looked at the young man's attributes.

Deng Lun: Kaiyuan realm level 1

Qualification: C

Constitution: 20

Strength: 22

Artistic concept: 24

Mental method: Thunder Jue (low-level yellow-level mental method) Great success

Sword method: Tyrant Blade (intermediate yellow-level mental method) Great success

Loyalty: -16

And loyalty is negative! This is the first time Hua Kai has seen a negative loyalty value. He looked around and found that there are quite a few people with negative loyalty in this teahouse, but most of them are core members of some families or even family heads. Such people are rarely recruited by other families, and Hua Kai will never recruit such people.

This young man was finally snatched by an ordinary family in the city for 24 gold. Kaiyuan Realm is already a good combat power in Guang County City. Many families want to increase their family combat power in the new year, and it is also a good choice to choose to hire experts here.

Several young people who "applied" appeared in succession. The highest qualification was B-level, but before they reached the first floor, they were competed for by the 9th-grade family Jia family on the second floor for 34 gold. The ordinary families on the first floor could only watch at this time. Hua Kai wanted to make a move, but after seeing the bid on the second floor, he knew that he was out of luck again.

Then a middle-aged man in his 40s came up. Most of the young people who can come here are talented. Many families lost interest at once when a middle-aged man appeared. Hua Kai checked the other party's attributes.

Xue Pan: Kaiyuan Realm 7th level

Qualification: A

Constitution: 23 (29)

Strength: 27

Will: 34

Mental Technique: Xue Family Mental Technique (Xuan-level low-level mental technique) Great Perfection

Archery: Shooting Eagle Archery (Xuan-level intermediate archery) Great Perfection

Loyalty: 24

Note: He has been injured for many years and his vitality is damaged and he needs to be nourished urgently

Hua Kai was immediately interested when he saw this. This is actually an archer, and his archery is very good. He has practiced Xuan-level intermediate archery to great perfection, but his body is injured. It is good that he can play Kaiyuan intermediate level.

"Mr. Xue Pan is 35 years old this year. He is a master of Kaiyuan Realm 7th level. He has practiced Shooting Eagle Archery to great perfection. He is looking for a wise master who is willing to pay 60 gold to sign a death contract. And Mr. Xue Pan has a small request. He needs to bring a pair of children with him." After the host said this, he felt that no one would bid. This middle-aged man looked sloppy and his face was pale and yellow, which did not look like a master.

Besides, the main thing they want is a capable fighter. You dare to ask for 60 gold with two children. If it weren't for the amazing arrow shot by the other party in the backyard just now, the host would not dare to bring him to the stage.

Sure enough, there was no response from the noble family on the second floor. It was even more impossible to ask the ordinary family on the first floor to spend 60 gold to buy a middle-aged fighter whose background was unknown.

Despite this, the host turned his head and looked at the tables on the first floor: "Is there anyone willing to hire a 7th-level Kaiyuan Realm master for 60 gold? If not... this young gentleman is willing to bid 60. Is there anyone who can bid higher? Congratulations to this young gentleman. With the addition of a 7th-level Kaiyuan Realm master, your family will surely become stronger."

Hua Kai finally made a move. Although the middle-aged man was injured, he still had hope of recovery as long as he took good care of himself. Moreover, there were generally few people who practiced archery. The Xuan-level intermediate archery could be practiced to perfection, which was enough for Hua Kai to make a move.

Seeing Hua Kai's move, the sloppy middle-aged man glanced at him, and the whole teahouse was filled with noise. Everyone was wondering if anyone was willing to buy the injured middle-aged man for 60 gold.

No one continued to bid. A beautiful maid came to Hua Kai and took out a contract for Hua Kai to see. With this contract, the employment relationship was established. Hua Kai looked at the contract and signed it. Then the middle-aged man walked off the stage and signed it. Amid the applause of the crowd, Hua Kai took out 60 gold and put it on the maid's plate. The contract was effective from now on.

There was a round of applause in the teahouse. No matter what, Jiang Yuming should be encouraged. Xue Pan left with the maid. He needed to get his own money in the teahouse and leave with Hua Kai when he left.

Then two young people with B-level qualifications appeared, but they were all valued by the family upstairs. From age and cultivation realm to the level of skills, a person's talent can be fully seen. It is unlikely that ordinary families will be able to pick up leaks.

After staying in the teahouse for more than an hour, Hua Kai recruited another 19-year-old youth for 28 gold. The youth was nearly 2 meters tall, trained with a sword and shield, and had strong muscles all over his body. Although he was only at the 9th level of the Tempering Body Realm, his sword and shield skills were pretty good. The key was that he had B- qualifications.

The five-year contract was worth Hua Kai's careful training as long as his loyalty could reach the crystal column of the [Family Secret Realm Space]. Compared with the first contract, everyone in Huajiabao was still optimistic about this second contract.

When leaving the teahouse, the sun had already set, and Hua Kai walked in Renshi for a while.

Many young people in the Tempering Body Realm were waiting for their employers to arrive. They all hoped to enter the family and change their fate. Hua Kai saw more than a dozen young people with B- qualifications or above. After more than an hour of discussion, 7 young people agreed to join Huajiabao. Hua Kai offered them all a commission of at least 1 gold per year. When the sun set, he reluctantly left Renshi.

It was dark when he returned to Huajiabao. Xiaoqiang felt that Hua Kai had gone home for a long time and called out. Now the whole Huajiabao knows that Hua Kai has a puppy, and this dog only recognizes Hua Kai and is very smart.

Lying in bed at night, Hua Kai is quite satisfied with today's harvest. Hua Kai also considers the future of the family by hiring so many people today.

These qualified young people have joined Huajiabao now. As long as Huajiabao can accommodate these geniuses in the future, they will be labeled as Huajiabao in the future. When the Hua family becomes a family, they will lead their families to work for Huajiabao. This kind of relationship is very important in this world.

So no matter whether these people's loyalty can enter the crystal column and become important members of Huajiabao, or their loyalty is not enough and they can only be regarded as one of the bottom forces of Huajiabao, Hua Kai is very happy.
