- On the Red Sea, the slave ship 'Little Herring' is heading towards the Indian Ocean. It is a slave ship belonging to the slave trading company under King Ning. It specializes in traveling between Chixia City and the Mediterranean Sea, transporting a large number of slaves to Chixia City, and then exclusively sold to vassal states and colonies throughout East Africa.
With the rapid development of East African vassals and colonies, the demand for labor increased sharply. However, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty could not keep up with the demand for development.
Although these colonies and vassal states have provided extremely favorable conditions, including land, tax exemptions, and slaves, the growth of Han immigrants in various vassal states and colonies has been relatively slow.
Therefore, these vassal states and colonies had to use a large number of slaves, and the demand for slaves also increased rapidly, even exceeding the demand for slaves in the Ming Dynasty.
King Ning¡¯s slave business is also getting more and more popular. He transports European slaves to East Africa and sells them at will, which is several times the profit, bringing a steady stream of wealth to King Ning.
Simon held on to the railing and looked at the Red Sea in front of him, feeling the hot atmosphere that was completely different from Europe, and then looked at the slaves on the deck.
These slaves are all from Europe, with blond hair and blue eyes, high noses and deep eyes. They all look depressed and sit on the deck very powerlessly, full of confusion about the future.
From the conversations between these slaves, Simon knew that these slaves included Slavs, Italians, Venetians, Balkans, Hungarians, Poles, etc.
The origins are also extremely complicated. Some of them were soldiers who were captured in the war, but were sold to slave traders and passed into the hands of the Ming people.
Some of them were deceived and came from rural areas in Europe. They said they were going to the city to make a lot of money, but in the end they were sold as slaves and ended up in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Others were originally farmers and serfs, but were robbed by the Tatars when they were threshing grain and sold as slaves to the Ming Dynasty; others were burdened with debts and had to sell themselves. Come to pay off the debt and become a slave.
In short, there are all kinds of people from all over Europe, but at this moment they are all slaves. They can only stay on the deck honestly, otherwise they will be whipped by the Ming people.
Simon is looking at these slaves, and these slaves are also looking at Simon, wondering why Simon is not a slave but can move freely on the ship.
"Why can you move freely on the boat?"
"What language do you understand? Italian? Arabic? Germanic? Spanish?"
Bill was a slave from Italy. He looked at the leisurely Simon and asked in several languages.
¡°I can speak Italian~¡±
When Simon heard this, he also replied.
"Who are you? Why can you move freely on the ship? Why don't those Ming people target you?"
Bill found it very strange. Everyone looked similar, but their treatment was very different. Simon could move around freely like the Ming people on the ship, and he could also receive courtesy from the Ming people.
"I am a French Jew. This time I am taking this ship to Chixia City in Ningguo~"
"I'm not a slave, I paid for the boat ticket."
Simon thought for a while and replied.
"Jew? I just said you are a Jew."
When Bill heard this, he looked carefully again and recognized it immediately.
¡°Perhaps it is difficult for Ming people to identify Jews, but Europeans can tell whether someone is a Jew at a glance.
"Where is Chixia City?"
Bill thought for a while and asked again.
"Chixia City is the capital of Ningguo in West Africa. You will be sold to wherever you are, and then sold to other places."
Simon told the news he had learned.
"Mr. Simon~"
"Please don't talk to the slaves, it will make it difficult for us to do things~"
While Simon and Bill were chatting, Liu Sandao, the captain of the Little Herring, came over and reminded them. 强牺 9bzw.com 读牺
He saw Simon and the slave chatting, and he couldn¡¯t understand what they were saying, so for the sake of safety, he came to stop them.
To be honest, he took some risks by taking Simon to Chixia City.
Slave ships have the same rules as slave ships. They are different from ordinary ships. As long as there is space, it is okay to carry some cargo. If you encounterIf you are a traveler, if you are from the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem in taking him for a ride.
But Simon knew at a glance that they were Europeans, and the slaves on his ship were all white European slaves. If they colluded, it would be easy for something to happen.
If it weren¡¯t for the money given by the other party, Liu Sandao would not have taken Simon and the others with him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Captain, for causing you trouble."
"I will pay attention."
When Simon heard this, he quickly expressed his stance.
"That's good~" At this time 9bzw.com m Zhang Si
Liu Sandao nodded with satisfaction. As a captain specializing in transporting slaves under the slave King Ning, Liu Sandao was naturally not a good person. Without a little bit of gangsterism, he would not be able to control these slaves.
"The Ming Dynasty people on the ship will not be polite to those disobedient slaves.
After warning Simon, Liu Sandao then glanced at the slaves on the boat. All the slaves on the boat immediately lowered their heads, fearing that they would be beaten just because of a look.
To be honest, these Ming people are much better than the slave traders and businessmen in Europe. At least, these Ming people will provide them with pretty good food. Many serfs are from remote and poor rural areas in Europe. People even think that being a slave is actually pretty good. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
¡°At least you can have enough to eat, and I heard that the Ming Dynasty is extremely rich and the people in the Ming Dynasty are also very good. As long as you are willing to work, you basically don¡¯t have to worry about hunger.
The Europe of this matter is far from the Europe of later generations. Most of Europe is very poor, especially for the people at the bottom. Most ordinary Europeans even live on horse bread and black bread.

In comparison, the food the Ming people gave their slaves was better than their own food.
Polenta, steamed buns, rice, steamed buns, sweet potatoes, etc., are very common in the Ming Dynasty, its vassal states, and colonies. The output is large and the price is cheap. There is so much food that you can't even eat it all, and a lot of it is used for feeding. livestock.
The food given to these slaves by the Ming Dynasty was very good food for them, especially some Slavic serfs from Eastern Europe.
They used to work so hard that they couldn¡¯t even afford decent meals throughout the year, but now they can take turns eating different foods, and they feel like their life is not bad.
Anyway, they are all slaves, but in the future they will be replaced by slaves of the Ming Dynasty, and they will also farm the land. In the past, they farmed the land for the nobles, and now they farm the land for the Ming Dynasty people. It is the same.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As long as you perform well, you can turn from slaves to civilians, gain freedom, and get your own land in the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of many Slavic serfs, this is absolutely a fantasy. This time zuqiux*iao s*huo .co m Zhang Si
You must know that in their hometown, they have absolutely no future. Serfs are serfs. They have been serfs for generations. It is impossible to stand up.
Unexpectedly, the people of Ming Dynasty actually gave them hope, and there was still a day when they could turn around.
As long as they work hard and perform well, the Ming Dynasty, which lacks labor, is actually willing to give them civilian status and allow them to obtain land.
The Ming people on the ship even told them some legendary stories. Some slaves fought for His Royal Highness King Ning and fought bravely. Not only did they get rid of their status as slaves, they even gained the same status as the Ming people and received a lot of rewards. of land and wealth.
These made the slaves on the ship very excited, and they even fantasized about living a quiet and prosperous life after obtaining civilian status in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Empire was synonymous with extreme wealth.
??Look at these Ming people, all of them are tall, wearing exquisite clothes, with rosy faces. There is no trace of dirt on them, and there is not even a trace of stench on their bodies.
Unlike everyone else, who is all dressed in tatters, unkempt and smelly, these people even stay far away when they smell everyone's smell.
Compared to these slaves, Simon, as a businessman, has seen more.
"Slave trading is a big business, very profitable~" #111m 读牺
¡°When these slaves were bought, they only had a few Ming silver coins, but when they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they could be sold for dozens of Ming silver coins.¡±
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are very rich. If you do business and trade here in the Ming Dynasty, you can definitely earn even greater wealth."
"Especially in the many vassal states, colonies, vassal states, countries and other areas radiated by the Ming Dynasty, everyone recognizes the currency of the Ming Dynasty and uses the Ming Dynasty language, which is extremely beneficial to business." Zhidaz.com owl
¡°Coupled with the free trade atmosphere here in Ming Dynasty, there will definitely be great potential for immigrants coming to Ming Dynasty in the future~¡±
Thinking of this, Simon became excited. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The Ming Dynasty was a huge empire, vast in territory, and extremely rich. The key was that it was a unified empire with unified language, writing and currency. This was great for commerce. Extremely beneficial
