"Forget it, forget about this, let's think more about our own affairs."
After hearing this, King Ning also nodded slightly, smiled, looked at a place in front, and said, "It's been a long time since I went to the slave market."
¡°Let¡¯s go and visit the slave market.¡±
As King Ning walked towards the slave market, he also asked about slave-related matters.
"Compared with transit trade and the like, what Prince Ning pays most attention to is actually the slave market, because this is Prince Ning's current main business.
The demand for slaves in the Ming Dynasty was very strong, and the number of slaves needed for the plantations in Nanyang alone was very large.
There are many islands throughout the vast Nanyang. Since Liu Jin led his army to sweep across Nanyang last year, Ming Dynasty's territory in Nanyang has continued to expand.
Although the provinces are still the same as those originally established, except for the northernmost Jiaozhi Province, the three provinces of Xianglin, Nanyang, and Zhenghe are constantly expanding.
The most outrageous among them are the two provinces of Nanyang and Zhenghe. They continued to annex islands one after another and incorporated these islands into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The large and small domestic trading houses in the Ming Dynasty are constantly seizing islands in Nanyang, because the more islands they seize, the more plantations they can open up, and the islands they occupy will naturally be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty. territory, so that they can enjoy the protection of the Ming Navy.
The plantation economy was developing at an unprecedented rate, and the demand for slaves was also very strong.
Ning State is backed by the huge continent of Tianzhu and has extremely rich slave resources. Naturally, King Ning also learned from the Western United Trading Company and started the slave trade in Tianzhu.
He has actually become a big slave trader.
A slave may only need a piece of cloth in Tianzhu Continent. Once sold to the slave merchants of the Ming Dynasty, it can be sold for more than ten taels or more than twenty taels of silver.
These slave merchants then transported the slaves to Southeast Asia, where they could be purchased for forty or fifty taels of silver, forming a huge slave trading industry.
Prince Ning is at the very beginning of the slave industry. The main business of Ning State is to capture slaves on the Tianzhu continent, or to purchase slaves from various countries in Tianzhu, and then transport them to Anning Port and sell them directly here. The slave traders may transport them to the Island of Ceylon and sell them to the slave traders and trading firms here in Ceylon Island, from which they can also make huge profits.
Ningguo was able to develop rapidly, and the slave trade played a major role. As for this business and trade, it was actually because of the large-scale construction of ports after making money from the slave trade. At the same time, they first came to Ningguo to do business. , the most numerous are slave traders.
Since the United Western Trading Company captured Ceylon Island and Liu Jin led his army to sweep across the Southeast Asian countries, the Ming Dynasty's slave market began to face a dilemma, with no source of slaves.
Ning Guo and the Western United Trading Company turned their attention to the huge continent of Tianzhu. They continuously plundered slaves from Tianzhu and soon became the main source of slaves in the Ming Dynasty slave market.
It also allowed Ning State, Western United Trading Company, Shu State, etc. to quickly become rich by relying on the slave trade. Millions of slaves were continuously sent from the Tianzhu continent to large and small plantations in Southeast Asia.
"Your Majesty, the price of slaves in the Ming Dynasty has dropped recently. In the past, adult male slaves could be sold for more than fifty taels of silver, but now they can only be sold for more than forty taels of silver."
"As for female slaves, because of the Ming Dynasty's recent military war in Central Asia, a large number of female slaves were plundered. This has had a huge impact on our slaves in Tianzhu. The price has dropped sharply, and it is difficult to sell."
"The skin of the people here in Tianzhu is too dark, which does not meet the aesthetic standards of our Ming people."
Speaking of slaves, Liu Yangzheng also quickly reported to Prince Ning the recent changes in the slave market.
"Isn't this a drastic drop?"
When King Ning heard this, he immediately frowned. Slave trading was his main business, and this price fluctuation had a great impact on him.
The price of terminal sales has dropped, which means that he must also lower the price, otherwise no slave merchant will be willing to take over and buy.
"It is indeed a sharp decline, mainly because not only our Ning State is buying and selling slaves on a large scale, but the slave trade on the King of Shu's side is also getting bigger and bigger. They are now able to capture almost 30,000 slaves every month."
¡°In addition, Western United Commercial Bank also successfully won this year.sp; "Only fifteen taels of silver each, only fifteen taels of silver each~"
Opposite the merchants in the Middle East and Persia, there is a group of merchants selling black slaves. Each of these merchants shouted feebly. In front of them, only a few people were patronizing. Behind them, there was a pitch black sky. Blockbusters.
Black slaves are really not popular. The people of Ming Dynasty are quite picky in this area. Even if they are slaves working in the family, they should try their best to choose good-looking ones.
This African slave, whose skin is as black as charcoal, is considered the hardest slave to sell on the market. Although the price is cheap, no one is interested. You must know that the slaves in Tianzhu are not easy to sell with darker skin. Not to mention the black slaves in Africa. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
