Chapter 6
It was almost noon after coming out of the manor.
The climate in the alien world is similar to that of Earth, and it is divided into four seasons. The difference is that it is different from Earth's early autumn when Morton City is in the middle of summer and the sky is very hot.
Fang Cheng walked out of the manor and touched the sweat on his forehead.
"My lord, are you satisfied?" Although Fang Cheng kept smiling, Roger was still a little apprehensive.
Don’t blame him for being so troubled with gains and losses, after all, this time he traded with Fang Cheng, he suppressed all his wealth.
If the transaction fails at the end, the loss will be too great for him.
"I'm very satisfied, Roger." Fang Cheng glanced at Roger with a smile, and Fang Cheng could guess what Roger thought.
"It's good if you are satisfied." Roger leaned, "This is the house deed and voucher of the manor." After saying that, Roger took the house deed from his men and handed it over with both hands.
Seeing Fang Cheng accepting the deed, Roger hesitated and stopped.
Seeing Roger’s hesitation, Fang Cheng opened the mouth and said: "Is there any problem?"
Roger bowed slightly and said: "My lord should be the first Come to Morton City once."
Fang Cheng's face quickly cooled down after hearing this.
Although Fang Cheng has been covering up, his initial dress and accent are different from those of Morton City residents.
"Why do you say that?" Fang Cheng said lightly, neither admitting nor denying. After all, in addition to the original residents of Morton City, there is also a very large foreign population. How did Roger see that he was strange?
Clothing? Seven people from Star Island don't have too many weird costumes. Fang Cheng's undershirts, on the contrary, seem very normal. accent? The accent of the foreign population is different from the accent of Morton City itself, and this is not a reason for self-exposure. As for the skin color, this is the same as clothing. Although Morton City is mainly white, the people who come from Seven Star Island are mostly black hair and black eyes.
Seeing Fang Cheng’s face cooled down, Roger instantly became nervous and hurriedly explained: "My lord, I have been doing business in Seven Star Chamber of Commerce for twelve years, Seven Star Island to-and-fro I know all the big and small businessmen, but adults, I will see you for the first time next time, so..."
In the following words, Roger did not continue.
It turned out to be like this, Fang Cheng sighed in relief. He was not afraid that others would suspect that he was not from Seven Star Island, but he was afraid that Roger would investigate him.
After all, his identity really cannot withstand careful investigation.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng is more vigilant in his heart.
In the final analysis, Roger is just a civilian businessman in Morton City. He is keenly aware of his own problems. When he takes out immense wealth, those real great characters, he can resist when he investigates himself. ?
In the final analysis, I have no foundation in this world and cannot withstand any storms.
When Roger saw Fang Cheng not speaking, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He is now even more sure that Fang Cheng is a spokesperson who was pushed to Morton City by another Great Influence.
There are many such characters in Morton City, the most conspicuous are Morton City’s seven trading companies.
"As long as you know this, don't tell it." Fang Cheng said ambiguously.
Roger glanced at Fang Cheng with his left light, and found that Fang Cheng had no expression on his face. He trembled with fright, lowered his head hurriedly, and replied: "Yes, my lord."
In the final analysis, in this world, the oppression of the lower class by the upper class is too ingrained. This kind of deep-rootedness has been imprinted by the nobles in the depth of one's soul with their iron and blood for countless years. It is not something that Viscount Morton can change with the trifling policy of several decades.
As long as Roger thinks of the forces behind Fang Cheng, his heart trembles.
"My lord, if it's the first time to come to Morton City, it is best to go to City Lord's Mansion to register your identity, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding."
Although I feel uneasy, Luo Jie still reminded Fang Cheng.
After all, he is now a person on the ship Fang Cheng. If Fang Cheng finally had something nasty with Viscount Morton, he doesn’t know if Fang Cheng has anything to do, but he is a civilian businessman. In the end, they will definitely fall victim to these noble struggles.
Fang Cheng nodded, did not speak.
Seeing Fang Cheng did not speak, Roger did not dare to continue speaking. For a while, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull.
......
In one hour.
The two came to Seven Star Chamber of Commerce again.
Only this time, Roger's attitude is much more cautious. Roger acted very quickly. In less than half an hour, Roger came out with several of his guards.
I saw him empty-handed, and the two guards behind him came over carrying a wooden box. Seeing the two of them faltering, it was obvious that the wooden box was very heavy.
"pèng!"
Two guards lifted the wooden box onto the carriage, panting fiercely.
"My lord, the six gems are worth seventy-eight thousand gold coins. They are all here." Roger suppressed his excitement and said softly.
Fang Cheng nodded, the price Roger has already agreed with Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng has become more vigilant after experiencing what happened just now. Therefore, Fang Cheng asked Roger to do it this time when he shot the Orb, and he did not come forward.
Fang Cheng took the key handed by Roger and twisted it against the keyhole of the wooden box. With a click, the lock was unlocked.
Fang Cheng raised his hand and opened the wooden box.
In the eye, a piece of golden light. There is no way to count the densely packed gold coins, and Fang Cheng has no intention of counting.
"bang!"
Fang Cheng closed the wooden box and said, "Lend me your carriage."
"This carriage will be given to My lord," Roger hurriedly said when he heard Fang Cheng's words, "Will, you're going to drive the adult car." Roger immediately instructed his head of guard, Will.
"Yes, my lord." Will right hand stroked his chest and bowed a Knight salute.
Seeing Will sit in front of the carriage and drive for himself, Fang Cheng did not refuse.
No way, he really can't drive a carriage, let alone a carriage, he will not even ride a horse. He has made up his mind, and when he is free, must use the virtual learning space to learn all these skills.
Under the gazes of Roger and the guards, Will drove away slowly in the carriage.
In the car.
"My lord, where are we going next?" Will turned his head slightly and whispered.
Fang Cheng pondered for a moment, and said: "Will, do you know where there is a slave?"
slave, a topic that cannot be avoided in the feudal society of the Middle Ages. Similarly, in this more cruel alien world, slaves are also widespread. They may be prisoners of war, they may be captured civilians from other countries, or even some frenzied nobles who bought and sold civilians in their own territory.
Slaves have no rights, even the most basic human rights. Their existence is only equivalent to a kind of commodity, a kind of wealth belonging to the master.
It is true that as a modern person, it is shameful to use slave.
However, Fang Cheng possesses too many secrets. To hire guards and servants through normal channels, Fang Cheng can't worry about it. Maybe only the slave can make him feel a little more at ease.
"My lord, all major trading companies in Morton City basically have slave transactions," Will paused. "The largest of them is the Rose Trading Company."
Qianwei Trading Company, its business is not as good as its name, it is Morton City, no, it should be said that it is the largest slave business in the Eastern Holy Empire.
Every year, the slaves sold through it can fill the moat outside Morton City.
notorious.
It is more appropriate to use these four words to describe the Rose Trading Company.
As for the meaning of the word "Qianwei". When Fang Cheng saw naked women in the cage, he finally understood what it meant.
......
The basement of Qiangwei Trading Company.
Fang Cheng smelled all around, mixed with the stench of sweat, blood and feces, fiercely frowned.
The steward next to him saw Fang Cheng's expression and rolled his eyes, saying with a smile: "The adults don't seem to be satisfied with these goods."
Fang Cheng didn't speak.
Seeing that Fang Cheng didn’t speak, and was not embarrassed to take care of things, he explained softly: “We have better goods on the second floor of Trading Company. Compared with these, they are all original goods, regardless of quality or beauty. They are guaranteed to satisfy the adults."
"Do you have any male slaves?"
Fang Cheng's words dazzled the steward. Then, he seemed to think of something nasty and his face appeared. A wretched smile: "It turns out that adults like this, no problem, we also have this kind of goods, we promise to make adults satisfied."
Fang Cheng heard his tone, I don’t know what he meant, a face Pulled down instantly.
Behind Will see Fang Cheng angry, his eyes widened: "Is this what you should say? Chew on the base of your tongue again, and cut your tongue carefully."
Will is a burly figure, nearly two meters tall, looking extremely oppression, he was reprimanded by him, and he was in charge for a long time.
The work of Qiangwei Trading Company is just ordinary civilians. If you accidentally offend a great character, it is normal to be thrown out to calm the anger of the great character.
"Let’s go to the second floor."
Looking at the frightened look of the steward, Fang Cheng also felt very boring. This world has been completely distorted. This is still called the status of a civilian. Morton City is very high.
Fang Cheng is hard to imagine what life the civilians in other noble territories live. Fang Cheng is also curious about how these civilians will not resist.
This is very different from the feudal Middle Ages. At least, regardless of China and foreign countries, there is always a history of civilians resisting the brutal rule of aristocrats, but this world does not.
At least Fang Cheng understands that there is not a single case of civilians resisting the rule of the nobility.
Weird.
