Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 573 White Slave! (Please subscribe!)

The tentacles of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty are far from being able to protect their own merchant ships going to Europe.

"Long live, last time the villain's firm organized ten ships to go to Europa, but before arriving in Europa, they were robbed by several waves of pirates one after another, and finally lost three ships, and the remaining seven ships did not even have Europe. It can be said to be a heavy loss."

When Zhu Kezang heard this, he thought for a while and said, "It's okay. In the future, Daming will continue to expand overseas territories, so he won't be afraid of pirates!"

Ma Hetai smiled and agreed with Zhu Kezang's idea very much. With the national strength of Ming Dynasty and Zhu Kezang's greatness, conquering overseas regions is just a trivial matter.

Ma Hetai looked at the time and said, "Long Live Lord, do you want to visit the slave market?"

"Come on, let's go to the slave market."

As Zhu Kezang walked towards the slave market, he also asked about slaves.

Daming's slave trade is in the ascendant, as the emperor, he must take good care of it.

The demand for slaves in the Ming Dynasty is very strong, and the number of slaves needed by the plantations in Nanyang alone is very large.

There are many islands in the vast Nanyang, and the territory of Ming Dynasty in Nanyang is constantly expanding.

In the past, many islands were only claimed by the sovereignty and the map as the territory of Ming Dynasty, but in fact, many of the islands had no actual control over them!

Because it's so remote!

Since the rise of Daming's domestic industry and the rising demand for cash crops such as cotton, rubber, and tobacco, large and small commercial firms in Daming have been continuously buying the right to use islands from Daming officials in Nanyang.

The more islands Daming merchants purchased, the more plantations they could open up, and the purchased islands gradually became the real land of Daming.

The businessmen of Daming Capital and the officials of Daming complement each other and achieve each other, and Zhu Kezang is also happy to see it succeed.

Originally, he was worried that no one would take care of the Nanyang Islands, and whether they would be taken back by the aborigines. Even though the Ming army had already "plowed" the Nanyang islands, the aborigines would multiply quickly!

Zhu Kezang is really too worried. The plantation economy is developing at an unprecedented speed, and the demand for indigenous slaves is also very strong.

In the past, the Ming army killed too many slaves, resulting in less and less local slaves, and their desire to have children was also very low, because there was no hope for them to live.

And the little slave still has to use the money of Master Daming to support him.

Bengal Province is backed by the huge Tianzhu continent and has extremely rich slave resources. Ma Hetai, the businessman with the strongest relationship in Ming Dynasty, naturally started the slave trade here.

He has actually become a great slave trader.

A slave may only need a piece of cloth to buy on the Tianzhu mainland, and once sold to a slave merchant in Ming Dynasty, it can be sold for five silver dollars.

These slave traders then transported slaves to Nanyang, where they could be sold for more than a dozen silver dollars, doubling their profits!
Thus, a huge slave trade industry was formed!

Ma Hetai's East India Slave Company was at the very beginning of the slave industry, and its main business here was to capture slaves on the Tianzhu continent.

By the way, the retired soldiers of Ming Dynasty can be re-employed in Mahetai!

However, Zhu Kezang is not afraid of rebellion by these slave-catching companies, because the retired soldiers of Ming Dynasty are also affected by BUFF, and they are extremely loyal to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the price of the slave market in Daming Nanyang has recently dropped. In the past, adult male slaves could be sold for 12 silver dollars, but now they can only be sold for [-] silver dollars, because Tianzhu has too many people."

"As for the female slaves, the people in Bangladesh have too dark skin, which doesn't conform to the aesthetics of our Daming people."

Speaking of slaves, Ma Hetai also quickly reported to Zhu Kezang the recent changes in the slave market.

"Black? I think it's okay!"

Zhu Kezang's emphasis was skewed.

"I told Ye Xingde to go find the slaves imported by Kang Mazi to the northwestern part of Tianzhu. The skin over there is lighter."

While the three of them were talking, they also came to the slave market in Anding City.

The slave market in Anding City is considered the largest slave market in the entire Tianzhu region. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty officials also specially cleared a huge square for slave trading and trade.

Here in the huge slave market, there is a lot of voices, and as far as the eye can see, there are crowds of people, a large group, a large group of slaves gathered together by slave traders!
Slave merchants and men were holding signs or shouting constantly to attract customers to come and buy their own slaves.

There are a lot of people who sell slaves. There are local slave traders in Tianzhu. These slave traders are slave traders from some countries above the Tianzhu continent. Many slaves are not actually captured by Ming merchants, but local people. Catch, go and cheat.

By the way, the Tianzhu continent at this time is not unified by the Mughals, and there are still many small countries in the central and southern parts.

Many of them are still Mughal vassal states. They don't care about the life and death of the Mughal Empire, as long as it is profitable, they will follow Master Daming!
There are also slave traders from Ottoman and Persia. These slave traders often gather a large number of merchants who come to buy slaves. The slaves in their hands are basically sold out quickly because of their whiter skin.

It seems that the merchants of Ming Dynasty prefer white slaves!

Plus there were black slaves from the African continent, nobody bought them at all!
"Tianzhu slave, Tianzhu slave!"

"The top-class Tianzhu white slaves only cost four silver dollars each, only four silver dollars, very cheap!"

Next to a large group of Tianzhu slaves, there was a leader of the Ming slave hunting team who kept shouting.

It’s just that the slaves on his side cost four silver dollars each. Obviously, this price is too expensive. The slaves can only be sold for ten silver dollars when they are transported to Nanyang, and the price is still falling now. Naturally, no one wants their slaves.

"Sell a slave! Sell a slave!"

"Excellent white slave, beautiful white female slave!"

At this time, there was another voice. The Chinese spoken had a strange smell and was not very standard.

According to later generations, it has a smell of mutton!

Zhu Kezang also looked over, and it turned out that a group of Ottoman businessmen and Persian businessmen in white robes were constantly shouting!
Behind them, there were hundreds of slaves, all of whom were stripped of their jackets and only wore trousers.

Their appearance attracted the attention of the businessmen of Ming Dynasty!

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were carrying silver dollars, waiting for these fine white slaves.

Especially the group of female slaves, the white flowers, under the turbulent waves, also attracted a large number of people to come to watch, and the transactions were also very hot.
