The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 351 Tianzhu Slave
After this discussion.

Many old sandalwood products were added to the imperial court's list of expensive items to purchase.

In addition to maximizing economic value, Tianzhu's cotton is also one of the important goals of Heiwa's trip.

Tianzhu was later considered to be the originator of cotton cultivation.

Thousands of years of cotton cultivation experience and unique climate environment have created the high quality of Tianzhu cotton.

The cotton it produces has smooth fibers, longer length, low lint rate and high strength.

In ancient Eastern civilizations that are rich in silk and brocade, silk fabrics are the first choice for families above the middle class.

Ordinary people can only wear linen and Gebu.

Cotton cloth had not yet appeared in the Daxia Dynasty.

Cotton is still a scarce item in the Great Xia Dynasty, and is only grown in small quantities in the northwest.

When Feisal heard that he was taking care of their business, he immediately became energetic:

"Of course, no problem, my friends, our imperial merchants own the three largest slave houses in Delhi. Whether they are strong laborers for plantations or beautiful female slaves, you can buy as much as you want!"

"Your businessman friend is doing really well in business. We want to buy some slaves who grow cotton, spin yarn, and have weaver skills. How many can we buy?"

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

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

He actively helped to introduce him to the largest human trafficker in Tianzhu in their Dashi Empire.

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

After understanding their demands, the smile on his face faded.

With a sad face, he expressed his embarrassment:
"My friends, to be honest, Tianzhu's weavers are very popular. They are all loved by the nobles here. In all the slave houses in Delhi, there are not many slaves with such skills!"

Hei Wa doesn't care about the other party's face. As long as a businessman can make a profit, there is no one who doesn't want to make money:

"We are not in a hurry. If we don't have any ready-made ones, we can buy some from other nobles."

Look at this person, his face immediately changed and turned cloudy: "In this case, the price of these slaves will not be what it is now."

The great steward Huang Shangshu immediately asked the weaver the current market price.

It's really not cheap. If it were replaced by Daxia silver, it would cost fifty taels and one person if the craftsmanship was ordinary.

Master level, price negotiable!
Huang Shangshu and Uncle Zhongqin looked at each other, and both of them revealed one thing: No matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!
Heiwa also provides a benefit that others do not have:

"As long as the slaves' craftsmanship is good, the price is negotiable. We only have a few sets of blue and white porcelain left."

The temptation of porcelain is not small, and the food merchants have many tricks.

Even if the nobles refuse to part with their love, they can still use various tricks to get rid of these craftsman slaves.

Master Cui has already calculated it with his help. Their current manned ship can only hold about a thousand people.

This is the number of slaves they can buy.

"Besides that the price is negotiable, we can buy up to 1,200 slaves. As long as they are skilled in craftsmanship, the age can be relaxed to forty-five!"

This is the final result given by the three people after discussion.

The bearded businessman, who looked gloomy at first, suddenly beamed with joy after accepting this huge order that dropped from the sky. He silently calculated the profits. After negotiating the deal, he kept recommending to them the best slaves from his slave shop.

When Yuan Wenjie heard this, he jumped over his father and quickly helped him to refuse.

Claiming that their family already has hundreds of domestic slaves, there is no shortage of female slaves.

Everyone else waved their hands and refused!
The bearded businessman felt very sorry for the men of Daxia who did not know how to appreciate Tianzhu beauties.

Even if they require a large number of slaves, the time given to them is generally sufficient.

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

It will take at least more than a month for the fleet to set sail again.

Only from Silkworm Moon to mid-autumn every year, the southwesterly monsoon wind in the ocean will push the ships eastward.

By then, their trip will save both time and effort.

After the ship merchants finished their frenzied purchase of spices, they began to lively and debauched.

I don't know how they can tolerate those singers who are full of "scent".

Speaking of the city of Delhi, it is not only the political center of Tianzhu, but also a well-known place of sensuality.

Ironically enough, prostitutes, as they are called in the Vedic literature, are women who can support themselves.

In Tianzhu, it is an ancient industry with a long history.

Nearly 60% of the top 100 taxpayers in the city are engaged in brothels and related service industries.

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

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

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

The price of a singer is much higher than that of other prostitutes!

However, the ship merchants were extremely rich. Within a few days, they became the most popular and distinguished guests of the singers in Delhi.

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

Seeing that the visitor looked like he was evil, Gao Huaiyu stood in front of everyone.

There was a rather burly man who accused everyone:
"You Daxia people are so cowardly that you actually took the idea of ​​our weavers? Aren't you afraid that the slaves you bought with money can't be taken away?"

After hearing this, Huang Shangshu was also annoyed: "My friend, I wonder if the Sultan of Delhi has regulations now, and the buyers of slaves are still divided into different people? The Great Cannibal can buy and sell, but I, the envoy of the Great Xia Dynasty, can't buy it yet How many are handy?”

The other party obviously planned to mess around: "Huh, you can buy it if you are skilled with it, but our weavers won't sell it! Could it be that you Daxia people want to learn our weaving skills and then sell cheap cotton cloth to the big food merchants? Cut off our trade route?"

Huang Shangshu's tone became even worse: "Haha, I don't sell the good silk in Daxia, but I transport the cotton here all the way. Is it possible that we don't understand arithmetic and only like to do loss-making business?"

The other party couldn't argue, so he just said this cruel sentence: "You, you old man, I don't want to talk to you today. Anyway, I put my words here, it is easy for other slaves to talk to, weavers, don't even think about taking one with you! If you don't believe me, let's go ahead. Look!"

Without waiting for Huang Shangshu to continue arguing with them, they quickly retreated and left the inn after finishing their harsh words.

Among these people, except for Huang Shangshu who could understand Tatar and two officials from the Lifan Yuan, the others looked lonely throughout the whole process.
