?Chapter 1182: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-six: Different Chapter 1182: Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-six: Different “Buy an agency?” Tang Luo was even more puzzled, “Chaochang has already become the biggest human trafficking market in the endless South Sea, such a lucrative business, would anyone sell it?”
“If it were a healthy industry, of course no one would be willing to give it up, but Chaochang’s agency is different.”
When it came to business, Yun Xiu was like a general sitting atop the city walls, dissecting the current state of Chaochang’s agency in just a few words: “The slave trade has developed so quickly these past few years, all because of incessant natural disasters and man-made calamities. The floods in Chengzhou, the river course change in Longjiang, the severe frictions among various families, all of which allow the Slave Hunter Teams to bring back a large number of people at little cost.”
“Chaochang’s agency only started to thrive these past two years, with clientele mainly from Zhongzhou and families in the south. These people trafficked mostly ended up as slave labor. The families chose Chaochang’s agency for two reasons, one is because the business was clean, and two is because it was cheap enough to form a unique competitive edge for Chaochang’s agency, allowing it to grow substantially in just a few years.”

However, the situation has changed unexpectedly.”
“Because of the Longxi Alliance’s policy of comforting the people, all refugees from the west are heading towards the Lingjiang Seven Cities, and the Alliance’s generous conditions have made those refugees willing to call that place their hometown. Just that alone has reduced six to seven tenths of the population bonus.”
