Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 84

Baird Baritt is a slave trader and a well-connected slave trader. Many nobles like to buy slaves from him, not only because of the variety of slaves in his hands, but also better than those of other merchants. use.

Of course, Baird is not a businessman who likes to persecute slaves. He understands better than other businessmen that to sell the goods at a good price, the quality of the goods must be guaranteed. When whipping and other methods to train slaves, the slaves in his hands would not be whipped as long as they were obedient, and they could even eat a bowl of stewed food with wild vegetables and beans every day. To be honest, the taste is very bad, but anyway, people will not starve to death.

Therefore, although he was rejected by his peers and felt that he was too hypocritical, he would only use this method to gain favor, Baird did have a better reputation than his peers because of this, and many people who could not survive were more willing to sell themselves to him. , after all, it is sold at the same price to everyone, at least it is better under his hands.

As for what kind of master they will meet in the future, it depends on their luck.

But what makes Baird hesitate to those who want to sell himself is that he does not accept serfs, but only does slave business.

The selling price of slaves is much higher than that of serfs, and most of the nobles of the Prady Empire are old-fashioned nobles. There are as many serfs as there are, and they don't need more. Compared with slaves, they are different. People who are a little richer, and even commoners will buy one or two slaves to work at home, which is more cost-effective than hiring servants.

But there are very few people who are willing to sell as slaves. Most of the slaves are either ordinary people caught and sold by robbers or prisoners left over from the war. The Prady Empire has been peaceful for a long time, and the number of the latter is very small, resulting in slaves. Slaves in the market are getting scarcer, so the price of slaves is much higher than before.

But Baird has no shortage of slaves. He is half a Prady man. He has blood from other countries. It comes from his mother, and his mother's former country is now fighting with several other countries. If you win, there will often be nobles who go to the battlefield and their followers and soldiers are captured. The nobles will eventually be ransomed back by the country to which they belong, but ordinary followers and soldiers are not so lucky, and their masters are not willing to spend money on them. If so, these people will eventually be sold into slave markets.

Baird also has connections in his mother's country, so he has channels to buy these slaves first, and he can even get some from other countries, so the goods in his hand have never been out of stock, as long as the buyer expresses the demand, He can find any kind of slave.

Originally, slave merchants like Baird were prosperous in the capital, and the slaves in their hands were not worried about selling at all, and there was no need to work hard to bring a group of slaves to rural places like Sardinson County.

But Baird and Claude Galt are very familiar. The latter, because of the line of Lord Count Williams, not only has to go abroad for business, but also prepares to establish a business, and has become a faint trend of the first-class merchants of the empire.

Businessmen seek profits, and no one wants to make more money. Although Baird is a slave merchant, he also has some other businesses in his hands. Although he does not expect to be as successful as Claude, it cannot be too bad.

And Claude often runs to Sardinson County now. Knowing that Earl Williams has been lacking people, he thinks that this is an opportunity to sell his favor, so he becomes a lobbyist and persuades Baird to take all the slaves in his hands to Sardinia. Tinson County.
