Peng Yu had already found a house by the river. To be precise, it was a large courtyard.
The courtyard was very large and was divided into front and back courtyards. It was said that it was left behind by a former official who was transferred from Luoyang to Chang 'an.
Peng Yu's most important aspect was its size. The backyard was very large. Peng Yu estimated that she could dig a fish pond and plant a bamboo forest. If this was in the modern society of her previous life, this would be something that she would not even think about.
The Peng family also liked this kind of courtyard very much. They planned to move there in the next few days, but Peng Yu also planned to make some modifications first.
He still had a lot of things to deal with now. The warehouse had been rented, and now the only thing left was the manpower problem.
The warehouse needed manual labor to move the goods. He couldn't let Peng Yong and Li Daniu do it anymore. He also needed an accountant. Someone had to do the accounts. He couldn't do it himself.
As she thought about these annoying things, Peng Yu walked to her house. There was a carriage parked at the door. Peng Yu had just bought it and it was specially used for transportation.
The carriage stopped here, and the atmosphere here was very different. After all, this was a slum area. The houses were short and dilapidated, and the atmosphere was a little out of place.
He thought for a moment and decided to go to the slave market today and buy two servants to clean up the new yard. It wouldn't be too late to go to the warehouse after the agent meeting.
He had always heard that there was a slave market in the Great Tang, but he had never seen it before. His own household register was a miscellaneous household, which was only slightly better than a servant. Moreover, he had no money in the past.
After breakfast, he and Peng Yong set off. Peng Yong drove the carriage. It couldn't be helped. Peng Yu didn't know how to do this. The driving skills of the later generations wouldn't work here.
The slave market was not far from the southern city. Soon, he saw a lively area.
Peng Yu looked around curiously. In his impression, it was all slave markets like those in ancient Greece and Rome. People were locked in iron cages like livestock, and anyone could choose from them.
However, as soon as he walked in, he realized that this place was different from what he had imagined.
This place was very smelly. This was Peng Yu's first impression. The people of ancient times did not pay attention to hygiene as much as modern people, let alone slaves who did not have any personal freedom.
The naked eye could see dirty feces and puddles of water in the corner.
Peng Yu endured the strange smell and walked forward while Peng Yong looked around curiously.
This place was similar to the livestock market in the later generations. It was also divided into stalls. Behind each stall stood various people. Some were standing, some were squatting, and some were sitting. Their faces were numb.
As soon as they entered the slave market, a group of people immediately ran over and enthusiastically asked Peng Yu about it.
"Young Master, you want to buy female slaves, right? Come to my place. I just bought it from overseas."
"Young master, young master, come to my place. My place is different. It's from the palace. That's enjoyment!”
"Young master, young master, my female slaves are proficient in all kinds of martial arts. They can cook and wash clothes, and their looks are first-class!”
Peng Yu frowned. Who were these people? Did he look so wretched? He wanted to find a mirror to look at himself.
However, he was also calculating in his heart to find a few slaves.
"Find a few tall and strong ones first." He thought for a moment and said to one of the relatively fair young men.
"A man? Young Master, come with me. I have strong laborers here." When the young man saw Peng Yu talking to him, he immediately became happy. To be able to snatch a customer so early in the morning, no one else could be so lucky.
In fact, Peng Yu only found him pleasing to the eye. The others looked like the people he had seen before.
"How should I address you, little brother?" Peng Yu sized up the slaves as she walked.
"My surname is Fan. We are in the tooth business. The people here call me Fan Xiao Ya." The young man chuckled.
Peng Yu felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this name.
"Shall I call you Xiao Fan?" Peng Yu still felt that it was better to change the name.
In the future, they would all be called managers. If you called them Xiao Ya, it would be a disgrace to the future generations.
"Xiao Fan? I can call you anything, as long as Young Master is satisfied!”Xiao Fan chuckled.
Peng Yu smiled. This person looked quite honest, but he knew that as long as it was an intermediary business, there were no honest people.
In other words, an honest person would not be able to do this business. In the future, real estate agents, housing agents, and marriage agents all had their own tricks. Those who were too honest would probably not even understand the tricks.
As they walked, Xiao Fan suddenly pointed at the group of people in front of him and said to Peng Yu,"
"This is it. Young Master, look at my goods!”
Peng Yu looked up and saw a few men with skin like coal standing in front of him. They were standing there and looking at her with numb expressions.
Wasn't this a black man? A question mark appeared in Peng Yu's mind.
Suddenly, he thought of a term, Kunlun slaves.
He remembered that during the Tang Dynasty, many people brought back many foreigners from various places and brought them back to the Great Tang as slaves. The most famous of them were the Kunlun slaves.
Moreover, he remembered clearly that there was an endless debate in the history circle about the origin of the Kunlun slaves. Some said that the Kunlun slaves came from Southeast Asia, while others said that they came from Africa.
