The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Speaking of buying people, the slave market in Tianzhu is "indispensible" for the big food merchants.

They transported the Bantu natives in eastern Africa not only to various parts of Europe as slaves, but also to Tianzhu as slaves.

There are eight large-scale slave camps in the city of Delhi alone, and there are countless fragmented ones.

In addition to those black slaves trafficked from overseas, there are also many slaves in Tianzhu.

The post-war captives accounted for the largest proportion. The successive sultans of Delhi took the unification of the whole of India as their own responsibility, and there were constant wars and small battles every year.

Followed by the Sudras of the lower class of Tianzhu, and the untouchables.

Some, in order to get rid of caste oppression, began to believe in the Great Food Cult, and "voluntarily" became slaves of the nobles.

There are also some who are unable to repay their debts and have no choice but to sell themselves as slaves. Once sold, they drag their children and take care of their daughters, and the whole family becomes slaves.

Because what the Dashijiao preaches is: everyone is equal, and it stipulates that the master must treat the slaves well.

Generally speaking, after these low-level people in Tianzhu became slaves of the Tatar royal family and nobles, their lives were much better than before.

And the Delhi Sultan and the nobles usually endowed some outstanding slaves with certain rights and status.

After becoming slaves, most of them can get corresponding labor remuneration, and to some extent, they have a stable job.

Slaves in Tianzhu are divided into: official slaves and private slaves.

The official slaves were all carefully selected to serve the sultan himself, his relatives, and nobles.

Private slaves, not only the nobles of the dynasty, can be used and traded.

Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and even merchants in Tianzhu have the right to purchase and use them.

Sudra, among all slaves, slaves of this caste accounted for the largest proportion.

Female slaves mostly serve their masters and cook in the kitchen.

Some of the male slaves worked in the plantation manor, and some were craftsmen of various handicrafts.

There are also some special female slaves, which are the exclusive items of the male master.Without any rights as a human being, he can be beaten and scolded by the male master at will, or even given to others at will.

For some powerful and big families, the number of slaves can exceed [-].

The most surprising thing is that the price of ordinary slaves is very low.

An adult male slave is only the price of a milking buffalo (converted to about 12 taels of Daxia silver), and female slaves and children will only be lower.

In an inn where big food merchants stay, Huang Shangshu and Zhong Qinbo are asking Qin Ke to help with translation.

"My friend, can I trouble you to introduce a slave trader in your country in Tianzhu?"

"Of course no problem, my friends, our imperial merchants own the three largest slave camps in Derry. Whether it's strong workers on plantations or beautiful female slaves, you can have as many as you want!"

"Your merchant friend is doing really well. We want to buy some slaves who grow cotton, spin yarn, and weavers. I wonder how many we can buy?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I will take you to my friend's slave house right away."

Feisal's views on the Daxia officials have changed again and again. These people are really far-sighted!

He actively helped to introduce them, the largest human trafficker in Tianzhu in the Dashi Empire.

The bearded imperial businessman who was as fat as a ball received them warmly.

After listening to their demands, the smile on his face faded, and he looked sad, expressing his embarrassment.

"Friends, to be honest, weavers in Tianzhu are very sought-after. The nobles here like it. In all the slave stations in Delhi, there are not many slaves with such skills!"

"Hehe, there are no ready-made ones, and you can buy some from other noble masters."

"In this case, the price of these slaves will not be what it is now."

The big housekeeper, Huang Shangshu, immediately asked about the current market price of the weaver, and exchanged it for 50 taels of Daxia silver.

Eye contact with Uncle Zhongqin: No matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!

"As long as the craftsmanship of these slaves is good, the price is easy to negotiate. There are still a few sets of blue and white porcelain we have left."

The temptation of porcelain is not insignificant, and the big food merchants have many means.

Even if the aristocrats are unwilling to give up their love, they can change their tricks to toss out these craftsman slaves.

Master Cui has already helped to calculate that the sea-going ship they are currently carrying can accommodate about 1000 people, which is the number of slaves they can buy.

"Except for the negotiable price, we can buy up to 1200 slaves, and the age can be extended to 45 years old only if they are skilled!"

This is already the final result given by the three of them after deliberation.

The bearded businessman with a frowning face immediately beamed with joy after accepting the big order.

He also kept recommending to them, his slave's best beauty slave.

When Yuan Wenjie heard this, he skipped over his father and hurriedly refused.

It is claimed that there are hundreds of domestic slaves in their family, and there is no shortage of female slaves, which makes the bearded businessman feel very sorry.

Even if the number of slaves they want is quite large, the overall time given is enough.

As for how the bearded empire merchants operate, it has nothing to do with them.

It will take at least another month for the fleet to set sail again.

Only from silkworm moon to mid-autumn every year, the southwest monsoon in the ocean will push the merchant ships eastward.

At that time, their itinerary can save time and effort.

After the frantic purchases of the ship merchants were over, they began to indulge themselves.

I don't know how they can endure those "fragrance" singers.

Delhi is not only the political center of Tianzhu, but also a well-known sensual place.

Quite ironically, prostitutes, as they are called in Vedic texts, are women who can support themselves.

It is an ancient industry with a long history.

Among the top [-] taxpayers in the city, nearly [-]% are brothels and related service industry operators.

There is no doubt that behind the brothel is the Tatar aristocratic group and local wealthy businessmen.

They build brothels, select prostitutes through various middlemen, and form a complete service chain.

There are high-class prostitutes for the royal family and nobles, as well as regular services for ordinary people.

The price of divas is much higher than that of other prostitutes, but the ship merchants are very rich, and within a few days they have become the most popular and distinguished guests of divas in Delhi.

Ten days later, a group of aggressive Tatar nobles approached Uncle Zhongqin and the others.

Gao Huaiyu stood in front of everyone when he saw the person who was coming, who looked unfriendly.

"You Daxia people, what exactly do you want to do? You even got our weaver's idea? What's your intention?"

After hearing this, Huang Shangshu was also annoyed: "My friend, I don't know if there is a regulation in the Sultan of Delhi that the buyers of slaves should be divided among them? Big cannibals can buy and sell, but I am an envoy from the Great Xia Dynasty, but I can't buy slaves." How many dexterous ones are there?"

"Hmph, you can buy handy ones, but our weavers don't sell them! Could it be that you Daxia people want to learn our weaving skills, and then sell cheap cotton cloth to big food merchants, so as to cut off our trade routes ?”

"Hehe, I don't sell good silk in Daxia, so I transport cotton cloth here from thousands of miles. Could it be that we don't understand arithmetic and only like to do business at a loss?"

"You, you old man, I won't talk to you today. Anyway, I'm here to let other slaves talk. Weavers, don't even think about bringing one! Let's wait and see if you don't believe me!"

After speaking, the group of people actually retreated.

Except for Huang Shangshu, who could understand Tatar, and a few officials from the Lifan Academy, the others watched a lonely scene.

When Huang Shangshu explained the purpose of this group of people, Gao Zongbing almost chased them out.

He shouldn't have tolerated it just now, let's beat this group of people first!

This is the insight he got from dealing with the Japanese people. First do the translation and then reason. At this time, the reason will be his surname.

"General, immediately inform our navy that the cargo ships on the island will be on duty for twelve hours. Or, you also live on board? We are considered villains, and there are many Tatar nobles. Power, if we don’t keep these guys together, our good deeds will be ruined.”

Heiwa didn't have much affection for the Tatar nobles, and didn't think that these people would only say a few harsh words, and hurriedly made arrangements.

"But the safety of you adults, I can't ignore it!"

How could Gao Huaiyu not be in a hurry, but the safety of Uncle, Huang Shangshu, Shangguan Imperial Physician, Cui Dajiang and others is also the top priority.

Qingyi and Qinger couldn't help but walked to Heiwa's left and right sides, and quietly reminded Mr. Gao.

They are not showy, can they just be a decoration?

Several people made arrangements for the security of the inn again. Gao Huaiyu took his eight soldiers and left quietly overnight.
Sure enough, the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is always useful.

After running wildly for three days and three nights, on the first night when Gao Huaiyu and the others returned to the small fishing village on the island, they encountered a dark melee game.

With Gao Zongbing's overnight arrangements, the visitor was discovered before he got close to the ship.

There are more than 6000 people in the area, and I just want to catch them by surprise.

Originally, they wanted to catch dozens of the largest seagoing ships, remove their cargo, and then set fire to them before fleeing.

More than 500 bullock carts were prepared for pulling goods, and more than 500 barrels of kerosene were brought.

In the dark night, the sailors wearing armor and wielding machetes did not hesitate at all.

The military order they received was: Anyone who commits violence against me by force will be shot to death!
This may be the first fierce battle they encountered after they went to sea, and they killed for more than two hours.

In the end, more than 200 people were injured, 310 and nine soldiers were sacrificed, more than 800 people were killed, and more than 1000 were captured alive.

Lighting a torch to check, the equipment carried by these people, the simple soldiers couldn't help but gasped.

"Damn it, so much kerosene is trying to keep us all in Tianzhu!"

"Hmph, mediocre ability, not a small appetite!"

Gao Huaiyu is still afraid now, what should they do if they really burn the boat for them?
Will the Sultan of Delhi keep doing nothing and give them a ruin?
