Chapter 654 (2/2)
Instinctively, Flores did not regard Sean as an equal in the collection and mastery of intelligence.
That's why Sean will propose sharing.
It's just that Flores agreed to Sean's terms so quickly, which still surprised Sean, but it can also show from the side that Flores really needs the 5000 barbarians. In other words, his current task is very urgent and important. Otherwise, Flores doesn't need to make such a big concession, because he will only benefit in the next year.
”Then as for the barbarians, I will transfer them to you at the regular individual transaction price in the slave market.”
”Yes.” Flores nodded.
The so-called conventional individual transaction price refers not to house type transaction, but individual transaction.
House type transactions refer to transactions one by one.
Under normal circumstances, each barbarian family consists of at least two people, namely a husband and wife file of a man and a woman; If there are a large number of individual households, there may be about five people, including a couple, sons and daughters, or parents. In such a house transaction, the selling price largely depends on the combat effectiveness of the barbarians of this family, but no matter whether the combat effectiveness is high or low, it is usually no less than ten gold coins. If the food expenses are included, it is likely to reach 15 gold coins per family.
In house type transactions, it is usually necessary to buy an entire tribe.
The scale of tribes naturally varies from large to small. Usually, even the smallest tribe will have two or three hundred households, but such a small barbarian tribe, I'm afraid there are only a hundred or less barbarian slaves who can really be driven as soldiers. Therefore, if you want to form a barbarian army of normal scale, you are likely to buy several tribes, or a medium-sized tribe.
As a result, for many nobles or warlords, there are obviously too many people wasting food, and not everyone can afford such expenses.
To this end, there is a targeted trafficking launched specifically to meet this type of customers.
Individual transactions.
The so-called individual trade refers to the sale of young barbarian slaves aged 16 to 30.
Barbarian slaves of this age can fight on the battlefield as soon as they are equipped with weapons. Moreover, because they have been ”trained” by the slave owners in advance, there is almost no possibility of insurrection, but the level of combat effectiveness will be more mediocre, It is difficult to achieve the fierce and fearless charge battle like those barbarians in house type trading.
Therefore, whether these individual trading slaves can recover the heroic ability of fearing death depends on the technology of the buyer.
But even so, even if it is mediocre and even used as cannon fodder many times, barbarian individual trading now occupies a very large trading share in the slave market, and almost will become the mainstream trading method to replace house type trading. Therefore, with the increase of transaction share and flow, the transaction volume of individual transactions of barbarians began to increase gradually.
Today, the transaction value of each barbarian individual varies from 20 to 100 gold coins.
The higher the transaction volume, the younger the barbarian, and the greater the potential or knowledge he knows, and so on.
This time, in order to show sincerity, the Federation of chambers of Commerce sent Sean 15000 barbarians, all of whom were young slaves valued from 50 gold coins, of which less than 3000 were barbarian slaves over the age of 25, and the remaining 12000 were between the ages of 18 and 24. However, even this group of 3000 barbarians over the age of 25 is still a very rare boutique for the outside world, because they are all Golden Valley barbarians.
”Are there any requirements for slaves?” Sean said, ”lodesk gave me a record sheet. If there is a special demand, I can give it to you for your selection.”
”No.” Flores shook his head. ”I don't have any requirements for height, age, birthplace, strength, potential, etc. all I ask is that they can go to the battlefield immediately. Of course, it's best to know some cooperation in battle. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. ”
”If it's war cooperation, I have a lot of good goods.” Sean chuckled, ”Three Thousand Golden Valley barbarians.”
Flores's eyes lit up suddenly: ”it's really a good batch of goods The price is not cheap. ”
”Anyway, it's from the chamber of Commerce Alliance. Just give you 50 gold coins.” Sean shrugged, ”but the remaining two thousand people don't have such good goods, but Sheng is still good in potential. After you get it, you can take it to training for a period of time. You should still be able to exert some effect.”
”Yes, it's up to you.” Flores nodded with great satisfaction.
If you buy it at the market price, how about the two thousand barbarians? Let alone the three thousand Golden Valley barbarians around the age of 25, the transaction price of each will certainly not be less than 80 gold coins. Now he bought 5000 barbarians with excellent ”beauty” for 250000, which is equivalent to saying that Sean gave him 2000 barbarians with excellent potential and strength.
”At that time, I will arrange people to deal with you.”
”No problem. Let you arrange all these.” Perhaps it was because he solved a difficult thing that made Flores very difficult, so at this moment, Sean could feel Flores obviously relaxed, which was a real relief. This made Sean a little more curious about what Flores was going to do, but Flores didn't say, and Sean was really hard to ask, ”by the way, there's one thing I almost forgot to tell you Arnom, the guy is asking for your news. ”
”Arnold?” Sean was stunned. ”The former dabion silversmith?”
”Yes.” Flores nodded, and this time his face became a little serious. ”You broke his good deeds at the auction and let him lose two apprentices. This is definitely a very humiliating thing for the old man who must report, so the old man has begun to inquire about your identity.”
”I see.” Sean really didn't expect the old man to take such revenge, but even so, he didn't care much.
”You'd better be careful.” Seeing Sean's disapproval, Flores couldn't help but speak again, ”since you are also an alchemy blacksmith, you should know what kind of guys are those who are willing to follow the craftsman. This time, although I refused the old man's assignment to investigate you, I believe it won't take long to find out your identity based on the old man's social circle, and it's obvious that the old man seems very serious, because this time he sent out both his strongest followers, so you'd better be careful anyway. ”
”Strongest?” Hearing such a word, Sean's face showed some curiosity, ”how strong?”
”Both are the top gold peaks.” Flores replied, ”it's a little troublesome to explain. Due to some professional habits, I have investigated these two people before, so I'll send you the information about them later But for the sake of safety, you'd better leave a stronger follower around you these days. One of them is very tricky. ”
”I see.” Sean nodded. ”Thank you very much for your advice.”
”You're welcome. After all, we have a mutually beneficial relationship.” Flores shrugged. ”All right. Now that the private affairs have been handled, let's have a business negotiation. ”
”Business?”
”Well, this time Ryan was upgraded from principality to kingdom, and some neighboring countries also sent people to participate. Therefore, according to the default hidden rules on the mainland, a martial arts festival will be held for competition.” Marquis Flores said in a deep voice, ”this is the simplest way to judge the national strength of each other On the whole, the martial arts festival is divided into two stages, one is a military competition, the other is a duel of personal strength. ”
”Does your majesty want me to fight?” Sean already knows roughly what this business is.
”Yes.” Flores nodded. ”The two military battles have been determined to be in the charge of Lord Athena g. Evans and Lord Davin sodell saber. In the individual competition, the strong above the holy land are not allowed to participate in the war. Therefore, in fact, the competition is divided into silver group and gold group, and people from different strength levels compete for the championship. However, in view of the strong purpose and tentative nature of this event, the system of single game elimination is adopted, and there is no loser group. ”
”I see.” Sean nodded, ”so your majesty wants me to participate in the silver group?”
”Of course, if Lord Sean agrees, his majesty wants you to allow your followers to participate at the same time.”
Hearing this, Sean generally understood what was going on with the martial arts festival he decided to hold temporarily: ”that is to say... There is a great risk of death in fighting in such an event?”
”Yes.”
