0820 Slave trade

At this time, the reigning Zheng lord was Zheng Jie, who was named the king of Qing. It was he who attacked the Ruan family in the south several times, but there was no big result. The Ruan family, on the other hand, reported more than enough to counterattack and was powerless in the counterattack.

When Liu Dahai walked into Lord Zheng's palace, he found that the guards leading the way were actually observing his reaction with proud eyes. It seems that these people are very proud of their royal palace!

But their palace is a mess in Liu Dahai's eyes! You must know that Liu Dahai is a character who has entered Beijing City and gone to the Jinluan Palace. Therefore, the palace in front of him is not attractive to Liu Dahai.

Therefore, the person who led the way not only did not see envy and shock in Liu Dahai's eyes, but vaguely read a trace of contempt. This made him snort disapprehendedly.

Liu Dahai walked into the main hall and quickly observed the characters inside. It seems that they have just finished a meeting and used the remaining time to meet Liu Dahai.

Liu Dahai observed Zheng Jie, who was sitting on the throne, very covertly. He made a deep impression on Liu Dahai because his appearance and figure were very close to those of the Han people.

This reminded Liu Dahai of what Liu Pei once told him: "In many countries in Southeast Asia, the royal family and important ministers will more or less have Han blood. But unfortunately, their loyalty to the Middle Kingdom is inversely proportional to the concentration of Han blood in their bloodline! In other words, the closer you get to the Han people in blood, the more ferocious the slaughter of the Han people tends to be! Maybe they're trying to show that they're in league with the locals! ”

Liu Pei's words, coupled with the history books that Liu Dahai had read, made Liu Dahai full of bad perceptions of the Zheng family. But at the moment, he always has to be more restrained in someone's palace. So Liu Dahai endured his nausea and stepped forward to salute Zheng Jie and report his name.

Zheng Jie saw Liu Dahai giving a salute, and said casually: "The messenger is exempt!" ”

Liu Dahai got up and had the opportunity to take a closer look at Zheng Jie's appearance. Liu Dahai looked at Zheng Jie at first glance and was sure that this person definitely had Han blood. Moreover, Liu Dahai is sure that there are probably many civil officials around him who have Han blood. On the contrary, most of the people dressed as military generals were local Southeast Asians. That is, the body is dry and thin, and the skin is dark

Black, with the appearance of a roe deer.

Zheng Jie squinted his eyes and said, "It is said that the envoy is here on behalf of the Red-Eyed Dragon King?" I've heard of him, and he's an amazing man who was able to unify the sea! But I have no dealings with him, so how could he send you to this king? ”

Liu Dahai said: "Since the prince has heard of the reputation of my family's dragon king, then things are easy to say!" My dragon king values trade the most, so let me talk to the prince about business. ”

Zheng Jie said puzzledly: "Talking about business? How did business come to me? As long as you pay your taxes on time, no one will stop you? ”

Liu Dahai said: "This time the business is different, mainly because I want to buy a group of slaves. ”

Zheng Jie laughed and said, "It seems that there is no need to specifically ask to see this king for such a thing as buying slaves, right?" Can't you just talk to the officials or even businessmen below? Or is there something wrong with your business? ”

Liu Dahai said: "The king's eyes are like torches! Because I want a very large number of slaves, I am afraid that the people below will not be satisfied. And the means of my payment may not be acceptable to them. I'm afraid only the prince can call the shots. ”

Hearing Liu Dahai say this, Zheng Jie seemed interested. He bowed slightly and said, "Then how many slaves do you want?" And what are you going to trade with? ”

Liu Dahai said: "I want a lot of slaves, we want as many as we want!" Except for the elderly, we want men, women and children. As for the way we pay, it's even simpler. I've already prepared the samples outside, as long as the king arranges for someone to send them in. ”

Leading the way, the guard stepped forward and said, "This messenger did bring a chest. Now it is placed outside the palace, and there are guards guarding it. ”

Zheng Jie waved his hand and said, "Take it." Now you can tell me what it is, and you don't have to sell it anymore. ”

Liu Dahai said: "The items we use to exchange slaves are weapons and armor!" The outer chest contained a piece of chain mail, a war knife, a spearhead, and arrows with ten bows and arrows. ”

At this time, a civil official said: "It seems unnecessary to buy slaves with these things, right?" Our dynasty does not lack these weapons and armor from you

Yes! ”

Liu Dahai glanced at him and said, "As far as I know, the prince is waging war against the Ruan family in the south. At such a time, no matter how many weapons and armor you have, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right? Besides, the weapons and armor I sold to the king were of the highest quality. When the time comes, the king and you will know at first sight. ”

By this time the guards had already carried a wooden box into the temple. In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Dahai deliberately took two steps to the side. Then let the guards open the chest.

The guards opened the box and pulled it out of the same way and laid it on the floor. The first battle knife to be taken out looked like a cold light flickering, very sharp. What came out was a spear head and ten arrows. Finally, the guard pulled out a pair of chain mail from the chest.

These things look great, but they're actually mass-produced. The sword, spearhead, and bow and arrow arrows were all poured directly, very quickly. With a grinding wheel, the blade is opened. As for the chain mail, it was simply cut with iron wire and then buckled into a loop.

These things are not very good just now, just the most common high-carbon steel. But for Annan, a little monkey who has never seen the world, it is already a magic weapon!

Zheng Jie's interest increased greatly when he saw the shiny sword and chain mail. He immediately commanded, "Come, try these things." ”

The guards quickly put their bows and spears together. It's as simple as removing the arrows from the existing arrows and installing new ones. It's the same with spears. The guards also erected an arrow target in the courtyard where they could not be.

But the first thing to test was the steel knife. Under Zheng Jie's order, the two guards slashed each other with knives. After the two knives intersected several times, there were already several obvious gaps in the native war knives of Annam held by the guards. And the war knife brought by Liu Dahai was only slightly damaged! This made everyone present look at it in amazement!

Later, the guards outside also came to report that the tip of the spear and the arrow of the bow were also very good, and the target was very deep! That digital defense also works very well, especially against bows and arrows. Moreover, those guards actually found that the regulations of those arrows were very similar, and even praised the craftsmen under Liu Dahai for their good craftsmanship!
