In the parlor of Ningguo Royal Commercial House on Xihai Island.
"Mr. Moses, if you slaves from the Ottoman Empire are willing to sell them to our Ningguo Royal Trading Company, we will not only offer the highest price, but we in Ningguo can also provide a lot of support in other aspects."
Liu Yangzheng looked at the Jewish businessman in front of him. Moses was one of the businessmen who was responsible for handling slaves captured during the war for the Ottoman Sultan. Almost all slaves sold to the Mediterranean in the Ottoman Empire had to pass through his hands.
So he is now also a distinguished guest of major firms and merchants here on Xihai Island. Everyone wants to get more slaves from him, and naturally so does Liu Yangzheng.
Moses looked at Liu Yangzheng. With more and more contact with Daming, everyone's understanding of Daming became deeper and deeper.
The Ming Dynasty was an extremely large empire with a vast land. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also had a large number of vassal states, colonies and some vassal states.
? Among them, the vassal states were established by the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty and princes with the royal blood of the Ming Dynasty. The most famous one is the Ning Kingdom established by Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, your Ming Dynasty tea is better."
Moses took a sip of fragrant tea, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but nod.
Tea also spread rapidly around the world with the arrival of the Ming Dynasty. Drinking tea has become popular in Europe, the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire, and Persia. Being able to taste tea and being able to afford tea is a sign of identity, status, and Symbol of recuperation.
"If Mr. Moses likes it, I will give you a few hundred kilograms. We in Ningguo have also begun to grow tea in Tianzhu and East Africa. In a few years, tea will not need to be transported from Daming."
Liu Yangzheng smiled and said.
"Thank you, Prime Minister~"
Moses smiled and thanked you, then thought about it and said, "I can give you a maximum of two thousand slaves per day. If it is more, there is nothing I can do."
"You must also know that here, there are many trading houses with unimaginable influence and power. Even the Sultan of our Ottoman Empire is not willing to offend them, because it is very likely to affect our Ottoman Empire. The relationship with Ming Dynasty."
"Mr. Moses, two thousand is too little. We really can't give more."
"Although the owners behind many trading houses have great influence, this is just business and will not affect the relationship between your country and the Ming Dynasty."
"On the contrary, if you are willing to sell more slaves to us, you will gain the friendship of our Ning country. Although our Ning country's current strength is very average, our Ning country's development is extremely rapid."
When Liu Yangzheng heard this, he immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
He personally came forward, but the other party was only willing to give two thousand slaves, which made him not satisfied. His intention was to eat them all.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, if you want more slaves, it's not impossible, but there are conditions."
When Moses heard this, he immediately smiled and said in a lower voice.
"Whatever the conditions are, just tell me."
Liu Yangzheng said quickly when he heard this.
"We in the Ottoman Empire want to obtain some Ming Dynasty artillery, muskets and shells, especially the explosive shells. I wonder if you have any way, if you can help."
"I can make the decision to sell all the slaves to you, and I can give you a discount on the price."
"Of course, if you can sell the technology to us, you can do it on any terms."
Moses thought for a while and whispered.
"Mr. Moses, I'm really sorry, we really can't do this."
"According to the laws of our vassal states and colonies of the Ming Dynasty, our vassal states and colonies are not allowed to produce weapons and equipment privately. All weapons and equipment need to be purchased from the Miyun Arsenal established by the Ming Dynasty."
"As for technology, it's even worse. All technology is in the hands of Miyun Arsenal. We have no way to obtain it, and we can't sell it to you."
When Liu Yangzheng heard this, he immediately shook his head.
¡°Are you kidding, these things are the key to the strong military power of the Ming Dynasty. The control of the Ming Dynasty court is extremely strict, even the weapons and equipment that they can purchase have many restrictions.
"Is there really no way?"
"Slaves are not a problem. Our Ottoman Empire can capture tens of thousands of slaves every day in Europe."Our immigration policy is mainly aimed at us Ming people. Except for people from Ming Dynasty, no one enjoys this policy. However, we are friends. I can make the decision and give you a small amount of land, so that you can guarantee your basic life as a Jew. "
Liu Yangzheng immediately shook his head slightly, thought for a while and then added.
Land is not valuable to Ningguo. There is a lot of land in Tianzhu and East Africa. A lot of fertile land is uncultivated. It is useless to give a little to the Jews.
"Thank you very much."
"I can sell half of the quantity to you, and the price will be slightly lower according to the market conditions."
Moses quickly thanked him and felt relieved in his heart, finally finding a way out for the Jews.
The Jews are very sad. They have no country of their own. They wander around and are scattered all over the world. Now they have branched out to immigrate to the Ming Dynasty. This is also for the future of the Jews. It is safer to put the eggs in different baskets. .
What¡¯s more, Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country, and the Jews have wanted to enter Ming Dynasty for a long time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
