Chapter 749, Troublemakers and Middle Easterners

"You guys don't do things, I need some people here~"

Liu Jin originally wanted to continue chatting with them and learn more information, but someone came over and shouted.

"Do, do~"

When the head man heard this, he looked at Liu Jin and said, "Childe, do you want to recruit people here?" ”

"If I don't recruit someone, I'll go and discuss with this master."

"Go, go~ It's okay."

Liu Jin smiled and said casually.

"Thank you, Childe~"

The two also breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked over with smiles on their faces.

"Five taels of silver a year?"

"Okay, okay, I'm in a hurry to hire people, come and sign the contract, sign the contract, go to eat after signing, and start working after eating."

They soon settled, and a group of men followed the man out of the slave market.

There is a great shortage of people here in Nanyang, and there are not enough people, but these Koreans and Japanese people are very obedient, hard-working, and have always been everyone's favorite hired workers.

After visiting the slave market, Liu Jin continued to walk around the Crescent City at will, as the commercial center of the Nanyang region now, the Crescent City is very prosperous.

Merchants from the south to the north, groups of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, plus the first autumn examination of Nanyang Province is now about to be held, and the whole Crescent City is very lively.

Soon, Liu Jin walked and walked to the Nanyang Provincial Government, thinking of going to Wu Yang to discuss the slave and immigration management in Nanyang Province.

He is the parent official here, and he must know very well about this aspect, and through him, he will be able to better know the situation in Nanyang, and formulate better policies for the continuous expansion of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Just arrived at the gate of the mansion, Liu Jin found that the gate of the mansion was very lively, a group of Persians and Middle Easterners were gathering at the gate of the mansion, and they seemed to be very angry and dissatisfied.

"We protest ~ we protest ~ "

"You Ming people can't treat us like this~"

"We demand that we can also settle and trade in Daming as freely as the Koreans and Japanese people~"

"You Ming people must release all Persians and Middle Easterners~"

These Persians and Middle Easterners kept shouting at the gate of the government with a somewhat lame Ming official mansion, and the officials at the gate of the government were on guard one by one, and the knives and guns in their hands had been set up.

These Middle Eastern and Persian businessmen were too bold to dare to come to the gate of the government to make trouble.

"What's going on?"

Liu Jin couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the hundreds of Persians and Middle Easterners at the door, and he actually made trouble to the government office, listening to their words, it seemed that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with the Ming court.

Here, soon the door opened, and a team of officials also walked out with neat steps, a fully armed? Some with bows and arrows, some in armor and with swords? There was also a team armed with muskets.

Because there are still some dwarf blacks here in Nanyang Province, Nanyang Province is a little different from the provinces of Daming itself? The yamen of the state capitals of Nanyang Province are equipped with powerful armed forces.

Are there a lot of servants? Armor, swords, muskets, and even cannons? If there was a rebellion among the natives or a rebellion by the slaves, they would immediately go out to quell it when they received the news.

Is the crescent city of the capital of Nanyang Province? The guards are even stronger? There is also a Ming army of 2,000 people guarding it, and there are several hundred people on the Yamen side.

Seeing a large number of servants coming out, fully armed, these Middle Easterners and Persians immediately quieted down? Many people had a look of fear on their faces.

Soon? Wu Yang, who was dressed in a crimson robe, walked out, and looked at the Middle East and Persians in front of him with a stern face.

"What do you want to do?"

"This is the Nanyang Province of the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Yang looked at these Persians and Middle Easterners and shouted sharply.

"Honorable Lord~"

The Persian Tasma and the side looked at each other and bravely took possession? Said very respectfully.

"Hmm~"

Wu Yang looked at Tasma and nodded slightly.

"I'm Tasma, a merchant from Persia? All these people behind me are like me, all merchants from Persia and the Middle East? We came to Daming with goodwill and wealth. ”

Tasma said in the Mandarin Mandarin dialect, which was quite fluent.

"Then why did you come to the yamen to make trouble, do you know? In our Daming? Causing trouble at the gate of the government? It's going to kill your head. ”

Wu Yang nodded slightly, and then said sharply.

"Honorable lord, we are not here to make trouble, we are just here to make demands on you, hoping to obtain legal rights and interests."

Tasma's face changed slightly, and he thought for a moment and said.

"Legitimate interest?"

"What legitimate interest?"

Wu Yang asked.

"My lord, why didn't Da Ming allow us to settle here? Why are we not allowed to do business freely in Daming? ”

"As far as we know, both Koreans and Japanese people are free to settle and do business in Daming."

"We have money, we also want to settle and do business in Daming, we don't have any malicious intentions, we hope to be able to get the same rights as Koreans and Japanese people."

Tasma said hurriedly.

These Middle Eastern merchants and Persian merchants came to the Ming Dynasty to do business, and only recently discovered that they could not go back to Persia and the Middle East.

The island of Ceylon was occupied by the Ming Dynasty's Western United Trading Houses, of course, this is not the key, the key is that they received the news that the Portuguese occupied Guri, they blocked the Persian Gulf, and sank the merchant ships of Persia and the Middle East.

If they venture back, there may be a lot of danger, so they are thinking about settling down here in Daming, anyway, the business atmosphere here in Daming is very good, and Daming has a vast area, going to and from various places to do business, and the wealth is also snowballing rapidly.

But when they wanted to buy land and houses on the side of Daming, they were restricted, because they were not from Daming, so there was no way to buy land and houses from Daming.

This made them very dissatisfied, they were doing business in various places, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation, in the past, anywhere, as long as they had money, they could buy land, buy a house and settle down.

In addition, a large number of slaves were sold here on the island of Ceylon, many of whom were of their clan, and many of them were inextricably linked to the Persians and Middle Easterners on the island.

This made them feel extremely angry, the Ming people actually occupied the island of Ceylon, and also sold their relatives, friends, etc. as slaves.

In addition, when they came to Nanyang, they also found that the Ming court vigorously promoted Confucian education and thought in various places, strictly forbade the spread of various foreign religions, and several countries on Java Island with the same faith were destroyed by Liu Jin.

The temple here in Crescent City was also destroyed by the Ming people, and they had no place to worship, which made them even more angry, so everyone came to the government to express their dissatisfaction after discussion.

"Korea and the Wa Kingdom are the vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, and they signed the agreement of the Ming vassal states, so they can trade and settle freely in our Ming Dynasty."

"You Persians and Middle Easterners are not vassals of our Ming Dynasty, so naturally there is no way to enjoy the same rights and interests as them."

Wu Yang said coldly, I will never allow you to come over if you can make trouble like this.

"But we have money, we are merchants, we pay taxes with you, and we don't have any hostility, why do you Ming treat us so differently?"

"Also, why did you Ming attack the island of Ceylon and take us Middle Easterners and Persians as slaves, we demand that you must now immediately release all our people."

Tasma naturally didn't care about this, of course, he had already inquired in advance, and he said very confidently.

"Haha~"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I am not ashamed to speak in front of this official~"

When Wu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Are these Middle Easterners and Persians really confident, and they are close to one mouth and ask for their release?

I'm afraid you don't know how powerful, it's just a businessman, and it's the most statusless in Daming, but in these overseas countries, these businessmen are all very angry. Chinese Network (www).

"Being able to allow you to come to Crescent City to do business, this is already the mercy that our Ming Dynasty has given you, don't know what to do, you have to make inches."

Hearing Wu Yang's tough words, Tasma also immediately translated with the people around him, and immediately the group of people became angry, and they all looked very angry.

They feel that their demands are not excessive, they just want to settle here, they abide by the law, they pay taxes and taxes the same, they want to do business and settle freely in Daming, this request is not excessive.

They are noble Middle Easterners and Persians, but they are not lowly Tianzhu low-caste people, how can they be slaves, this Ming people are really unreasonable, and they treat them like this.

"Honorable Lord~"

"We think our request is very reasonable and legal, we pay taxes, and we are willing to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, why does the Ming turn us away?"

Tasma said dissatisfied.

"Because this is our Ming law!"

"If you want to settle and do business freely in our Ming Dynasty, your country must first become a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

Wu Yang was a little impatient, these people were simply messing around.

Pay some money to get the same status as the North Koreans and the Japanese people?

You're dreaming!

"You leave here immediately, read that you are new to the city, you don't understand the law of my Ming Dynasty, forget it this time, if there is a next time, if you dare to gather a crowd to make trouble, this official will be severely punished!"

Wu Yang dropped a sentence and walked away directly.
