It has been three days, and the king is also fighting every day, fearing that he will be kicked on the door panel if he is not careful.

Since Luo Xiaoyi and Du Sanniang visited Wang Yu's boudoir, this girl set out from Chang'an to Tingyu Pavilion every day before dawn, and then rushed home to sleep on time before the curfew in Chang'an City. If it weren't for the reputation, she would probably have planned to live in Tingyu Pavilion directly.

The most common saying I say every day is: "I envy Sanniang so much. It's great to be able to live here every day!" After that, I looked at Wang Ye.

Wang was confused by her. Once, he blurted out: "Then let's stay!" and flew away as soon as he finished speaking.

Since then, Wang also hid when he saw Luo Xiaoyi, and today is the third day.

Soap workshop.

Zhang Qi and Ma Zhou are checking the supply bills for the past few days. After New Year's Eve, several aristocratic families have successively penetrated the market into small and medium-sized prefectures and counties. The shipments of soap workshops have risen sharply, and now they can't catch up with the aristocratic families. After all, the workers are limited and they work uninterruptedly every day, which cannot meet their needs.

Wang Ye stood aside and was considering the plan to expand the soap workshop. He was a fool who was rich but not profitable. Now the soap still monopolizes the industry. With Qin King Li Er pressing on the surface, there is no need to worry about someone stealing the secret recipe.

But there is no shortage of materials, but the problem now lies in manpower. Workshops need people, arenas, docks, cement factories... There is a shortage of people everywhere, and each one is a profitable industry, so it feels distressing to stop anyone.

"Ma Zhou, when will the slave trader you mentioned arrive?" Wang also frowned and asked.

Ma Zhou put away the small notebook in his hand, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said surely: "I guess it will be here in a while. I made an appointment with him at noon. He is very punctual."

After hearing this, Wang Ye nodded and said to Zhang Qi: "Xiao Qi, have all the temporary tents on the arena set up?"

Zhang Qi replied: "It was all arranged yesterday, but are there really so many slaves? Even if there are five people in one tent, there are only one thousand people in two hundred tents. Where can the number one thousand slaves come from Chang'an now? Haven't they all been snatched away by the two generals?"

Wang Ye looked at Ma Zhou worriedly when he heard this. Ma Zhou slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, the city lord. My friend said that if there are eight hundred slaves, they will bring eight hundred slaves over, no more than one or more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jiu's shout came from the door: "City Lord, City Lord, a large number of refugees suddenly appeared on the official road, and they were heading in our direction. Captain Liu stepped forward to investigate, and the other party said he was here to find Mr. Ma."

Wang Ye was happy when he heard this and looked at Ma Zhou, but when he saw him nodding with a smile, he replied, "Hehe, let them go directly to the arena, you go to lead the way yourself, and I will arrive later."

Zhang Jiu nodded and responded: "Yes." He rode his bicycle and turned around and left.

Wang Ye turned around and laughed at Ma Zhou, "It's not bad, it seems that he has arrived. Let's go with me to have a look."

Ma Zhou and Zhang Qi were also excited when they saw Wang, and they were also smiling. The workshop is now profitable and need to be expanded urgently. These 800 people are money trees. After looking at each other, they hurriedly followed Wang Ye to the arena.

······

The king from afar saw a red-faced man wearing a felt hat standing by the roadside. Seeing that he looked like a friend of a Tibetan, Wang was curious and asked Ma Zhou, and only then did he know that the man was named Geerdongzan, a Tubo nobleman. He has been staying in Chang'an for a long time as a Tubo envoy in recent years and has also worked part-time in business.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, we're meeting again!" After seeing Ma Zhou, the man stepped forward a few steps, gave Ma Zhou a bear hug, and said with a hearty smile.

Ma Zhou also responded with a smile: "Dongzan has really helped this time. These are the people we want, right?" Ma Zhou asked, pointing to the slave sitting on the ground next to the construction site.

Gertonzan nodded and said, "That's right, the old subordinates of Subi colluded with many old nobles to rebel against each other aristocrats, and were suppressed by my king in an instant. These were all nobles of the old Subi country, dozens of them were still men who tore tigers and leopards with their hands. I heard that you said that the arena needed such slaves, so I sent them all."

Wang Ye was happy when he heard this, raised his eyes to signal Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou understood it and said to Gerdongzan: "It's so good, but I just don't know how much these slaves are?"

Seeing Ma Zhou straight to the point, Geerdongzan asked the price directly, but did not answer. He turned around and bowed to the king, and said respectfully: "This is the prince of the prince-in-law, right?"

Seeing that he was respectful, Wang Ye replied with a smile: "It was just that I didn't expect the messenger to know me?"

"Hahaha, who doesn't know that the city lord's name is famous for its ghost in Chang'an? And now many merchants gathered in the western market call you the King of Wealth God. They all say that you have a magical power of turning stones into gold. Any drawing can help people earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month. Now they are the son-in-law of the current dynasty, sitting with the saints, which is very clear." Gerdongzan said exaggeratedly without hesitation.

Wang also said modestly: "The messenger praised it. How can a little business be used as a matter of contentment? It is the messenger who is doing business in a country now, which is really a shameful person!"

"Cowhide?"

"Oh! It means it's very powerful, hahaha."

Gertonzan smiled, thinking that it was in some dialect, and said with a smile: "Lord, I wonder how many slaves you need?"

Wang Ye was secretly happy when he heard this and said, "As long as you are a healthy slave over twelve years old and under forty years old, how many you have, I will collect as much as you have!"

Gerdongzan's eyes flashed and he asked carefully: "Why are the royal city lord afraid of disturbing the court by such a large number of slaves?"

The king naturally knew his concerns. After all, Jingyang is not far from Chang'an, and the slaves only obey the slave owners. If there are too many people, some people will probably not be able to sit still. But the king doesn't care. They are all from Li Yuan in the open and secret. To put it nicely, they are strictly preventing and doing things outside, but they also have the meaning of internal surveillance.

Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's okay, the biggest shareholders of my business are the emperor, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, haha."

Gerdongzan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms, opened it and said, "This time, more than 27,400 enemy troops were captured, including 13,000 young and strong, more than 4,000 young children, and the rest were women, children, and the elderly and weak. According to your requirements of the city lord, there are about 18,000 people available."

"Ten thousand eight?" Wang also confirmed in surprise.

Gertonzan thought the king was too little, so he nodded helplessly and explained: "Yes, the number of rebels this time is small, only the old Subi and a few old nobles left by Subi, so there are not many prisoners."

Wang was confused. Not many tens of thousands of people were there? Looking at the slumped slaves, seeing that most of them were teenagers in their teenage years old, he asked curiously: "How much does a boy like this cost?"

Gertonzan pointed to a boy who was looking at them curiously and said, "If you haven't been to the battlefield like this, you will be two steadily."

"Where are those who have been on the battlefield?" Wang also asked.

"Those who have been on the battlefield will be expensive. Ordinary soldiers need ten stakes, ten stakes are about fifty stakes, and centuries have to be 200 stakes. Besides, thousands of stakes are basically hard to find. In my Tubo royal city, one sold for three thousand stakes, and the nobles are rushing to ask for it."

"What about the ten thousand men?"

Gerdongzan looked at Wang Ye in confusion when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I don't have ten thousand men in Tubo. The ones in charge of the army of ten thousand people are all generals, and they are basically the nobles. However, if someone really catches it, it will probably be captured to worship the heavens, hahaha."

After hearing this, Wang Ye smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, pointed at the group of slaves and asked, "Have you ever been on the battlefield here?"
