"Haha~"

The crowd around them burst into laughter.

"Don't talk nonsense, 25 taels of silver will start at auction, and the one with the highest price will get it."

The slave merchant smiled and also directly began to quote.

"25 taels, buy it and play it for a few days to taste fresh~"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately made an offer.

"30 taels, this white slave is tall, and he can work if he buys it back."

"35 taels~"

"36 taels~"

The sound of quotations continued to sound, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached a high price of more than 40 taels of silver.

In the slave market, male slaves were generally more valuable than NV slaves, because male slaves were strong enough to work, while NV slaves had less strength and could do less work.

"Forty-six taels of silver, is there anything higher?"

The slave merchant was smiling, this slave trade was really profitable, he bought it from the Western United Trading House for twenty taels of silver, and when he sold it, he doubled the profit.

"I'll give fifty taels~"

At this time, a weak voice sounded, and everyone hurriedly looked over, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"Wang Lezi, are you going to buy it back to pass on the ancestry?"

"It must be, they are all old singles in their thirties, and if you don't get a woman back, I'm afraid you won't be able to give birth in the future."

"Buy a slave and go back to have a child, is this born a little slave?"

"Don't buy a slave, do you think someone will marry him?"

Hearing everyone's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but look over, this person named Wang Lezi was short and short, and the key was that he still had a leper on his face, which was extremely ugly.

"The rise of the slave trade can solve the problem of many old bachelors in the Ming Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile, this is a good thing.

Anyway, at least for Da Ming, it seems.

"Go, go~"

"What's the matter with you~"

"I am a Da Ming person, and my son is naturally a Da Ming person, this woman is not bad, she is tall, and she will definitely be able to give me a fat boy."

Wang Lezi glared at everyone around him fiercely, staring at the slave, his eyes flashing with fiery light.

Before he migrated out, he was really poor and ugly, and ghosts would not marry him, and after moving to Nanyang Province, he not only had his own land, but now he also saved a sum of silver, which he could buy a slave to go back to warm the bed and give birth to a child.

It was something he had never dared to think of before.

The more he looked at this slave, the more beautiful he felt, with fair skin, a graceful figure, a tall nose, and a tall figure, and he would definitely be able to give birth to a fat boy for himself.

"Fifty taels! Fifty taels~"

"Is there anything you want to mark-up?"

When the slave trader saw it, he immediately smiled even brighter? Fifty taels of silver, this price is already very high.

"Forget it~"

"They are all their own Ming people, and fifty taels will be given to Wang Lezi."

"Right? Yes~ let it be given to him? Anyway, there's still ~"

"Wang Lezi, after giving birth to a son, remember to invite everyone to drink happy wine~"

Everyone shook their heads? The price of fifty taels of silver is already high, for a slave? There's no need to add it? What's more? There are a lot of slaves next to them? There are many better ones.

"Fifty taels, deal!"

See no one bidding? The slave traders also laughed and clapped.

Wang Lezi took out a few silver tickets from the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty from his bosom and gave them to the slave traders? Then he led the slave directly to the king's own house.

"Woo~"

The slave looked at the appearance of the king's leper, and the whole person couldn't help crying, she was originally the daughter of a Middle Eastern merchant on the island of Ceylon, living a small life of fine clothes and food, and now she suddenly became a slave? And looking at this person's appearance is really ugly, a little better-looking, she won't cry.

However, it was useless for her to cry, on the Nanyang side, the Ming Dynasty had extremely strict management of slaves, and any slave who left the manor or plantation without the companionship of the master and was found would be directly executed.

If a slave owner is killed by a slave, then all the slaves will be executed as well.

Of course, such a thing rarely happens.

The Ming people pay attention to conscience, although they are slaves, but most of these slaves are not bad, they are well fed, warmly dressed, as long as the slaves work, even the beatings are rare.

Many slaves themselves are poor, and many times they can't even eat enough, but when they become slaves in the Ming Dynasty, they can be fed and clothed, which is also very good.

Some kind slave owners will buy the slave's family when they buy slaves, so that the slave's family can be reunited, so the vast majority of slaves are honestly obedient and work.

Liu Jin looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head slightly.

Although I sympathize with the plight of these people, but all of this is led by myself, everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, in this era, even if the Ming Dynasty does not do this, soon, the Europeans will do the same.

It is better to fall into the hands of the Ming than to fall into the hands of the Europeans.

The auction of slaves was still very hot, and the plantation owners waved their silver tickets to snatch slaves one by one.

Liu Jin looked at it very casually, the slave traders of the Ming Dynasty divided the slaves into white slaves and black slaves, and the black slaves were different from the black slaves sold by Europeans in history.

The black slaves sold by the Europeans are blacks sold from Africa, and the black slaves in the Ming population refer to the long black people, the natives of Nanyang and Ceylon, basically very black in appearance and short in stature, so the Ming people call them black slaves.

The white slaves were the Middle Easterners, Persians and high-caste Aryans caught on the island of Ceylon, these people were common in skin and tall in stature, and the number was relatively small at present, only tens of thousands of white slaves were sold to the South Seas on the island of Ceylon.

"Japanese and Koreans?"

Wandering and walking, Liu Jin soon came to a place where a lot of Japanese and Korean people gathered, these people were carrying burdens, dragging their families, and were looking at everything around them with curious eyes, they were different from those slaves.

They were not shackled, bracelets, or slaves, they were free men, and they were all people who had come to work in the South Seas.

The rise of the Nanyang plantation required a large amount of labor, which naturally gave birth to the Japanese and the Korean people to work in the south, anyway, the Korean and the Japanese were both vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and they could freely travel back and forth to the Ming Dynasty, and work, settle, and do business in the Ming Dynasty.

"This child~"

Perhaps seeing Liu Jin's extraordinary dress, a Japanese and North Korean people immediately came to Liu Jin with a smile on their faces, nodded and said.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Jin looked at the Japanese and North Koreans in front of him, these two people should be the leaders of these Koreans and Japanese people, who are specifically responsible for introducing and organizing people to work in Nanyang and earn commissions and remuneration from them.

"Childe, do you need to hire people?"

"Hire these more than 100 people under me, as long as you have food and shelter, and the adults will give you five taels of silver for a year."

The North Korean said to Liu Jin with a smile on his face, his eyesight is good, Liu Jin is dressed up, plus the servants he carries with him, he is definitely a big brother, and he can hire these people under him.

"Childe, even my people are hired together, they are all strong adults, including food and housing, and you can give five taels of silver a year~"

The widow also spoke.

"Five taels of silver a year?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was also slightly surprised.

The price is just too low.

Liu Jin knew that in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Ming people went to work in the factory casually, and they had at least three or four taels of silver a month, and if they were in many industries under their command, the salary would be even higher.

These Japanese and Koreans have come all the way to Nanyang to do things, and they only need five taels of silver a year, and I have to say that the price is really low, very low, very low.

"Childe, this is already the lowest market price in the market, it costs thirty or forty taels of silver to buy a slave, and we only need five taels of silver a year."

"We North Koreans are very serious and diligent in our work."

When the North Korean heard Liu Jin's words, he thought that Liu Jin was thinking that the price was too high.

In Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, the peasants at the bottom worked hard all year round, but in fact, it was very difficult, and they could not eat a few full meals all year round.

Both countries have more people and less land, and there is very little arable land, and when they reach the bottom, many times life is even more difficult than that of the Ming people.

In Korea and the Wa Kingdom, not to mention earning five taels of silver a year, it is not bad to be able to eat enough at the end of the year.

But when you come to Daming to do things and work, you can eat three meals a day, as well as fish and meat, and at the end of the year, you can get five taels of silver, which attracts a large number of low-level Koreans and Japanese people to work and do things in Daming.

"Yes, yes, we are very diligent in our work, we are very honest and obedient."

The widow also nodded straightly, they have a commission as the leader, and at the end of the year, these people who came to work in Daming got the silver, and they also wanted to give them a commission.

"Why did you even bring your children with you when you came out to do things?"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then looked at the Koreans and Japanese people behind them, there were many children, these children were carefree, and looked at Liu Jin curiously, looking at this Ming prince in front of him.

"There is no way, no one can take it at home, so you can only bring it out."

"Childe, these children eat very little, and they can also help herd cattle, feed horses, etc., just give them food."

The North Koreans immediately explained with a smile that there was no way to come out with children, and many people did not plan to go back after coming to Nanyang.

As long as they earn money, they can settle down in Nanyang, and they Koreans and Japanese people can also settle in Daming, and this policy also attracts many Koreans and Japanese people to migrate to Nanyang.

Because the Nanyang region is vast and sparsely populated, rich in products, and in urgent need of a large number of people, Koreans and Japanese people can settle down here as long as they can speak the Ming dialect.

Of course, they have no way to enjoy the same treatment as the Ming people, if the Ming people migrate to Nanyang, they can get a large amount of land rewards, and at the same time, the Nanyang government will also be responsible for building a house for you, and then send you seeds and farm tools.

They don't have a way to enjoy this treatment, they don't have land incentives, and the government won't build you a house or anything like that.

If you want to settle in Daming, you have to spend your own money to buy a house here, or buy land and build a house by yourself.

After settling down on the side of the Ming Dynasty, they had no way to obtain the identity of the Ming people, and they had to be the next generation to be able to obtain the identity of the Ming people.

But even so, it still attracted more and more Koreans and Japanese people to migrate to the Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty, because it was better to work for the Ming people here than to live in their own country.

After a few years, with silver, you can settle in Daming by buying a piece of land and building a house, and you will be a Ming person in the next generation.

And life is easier in Daming, earn more silver, and do not worry about eating, there are many people who come to settle in Daming, every day there is a boat, a boatload of Koreans and Japanese people come to work in Nanyang.

dragged the family with the mouth, and they were all preparing to settle down here in Daming in the future.

"You are all going to settle down in our Daming in the future, right?"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, looked at them, thought about it and said.

"Dissatisfied with Childe~"

"We really plan to settle in Daming, the Divine Grace of the Son of Heaven, so that our Koreans and Japanese people can also enjoy some of the rain and dew of Daming, and we also plan to settle here."

"In this way, we can work here for a long time, in North Korea and the Japanese country, we can't even eat enough, it's better to be Ming."

The other party smiled and nodded.

For the low-level Koreans and Japanese people, it is good news that they signed the agreement of the Ming vassal state and became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and they could freely travel and settle in the Ming Dynasty.

Relying on the powerful Daming, with the expansion of the Daming, they can also enjoy a lot of benefits, the newly expanded land of the Ming Dynasty is too much, and there are not enough people to cultivate.

The Koreans and the Japanese are both numerous and small, and they complement each other exactly.

In Nanyang, Liaodong, Jiaozhi, Xianglin and many other places, many Koreans and Japanese migrated over, and even now many Koreans and Japanese people follow the fleet to the Golden Continent to open gold and silver.

"Hmm~"

Hearing this, Liu Jin also smiled and nodded.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty has suffered a loss, and it seems a little unfair that these Koreans and Japanese people can settle down in this hard-fought land.

But through this indication, you can know that the real benefit is still Daming.

These Koreans and Japanese people came to help the Ming Dynasty reclaim land, plant sugar cane and rice, accelerate the development and management of the Nanyang provinces by the Ming Dynasty, and also consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty over these places, make up for the lack of manpower in the Ming Dynasty, and in a few years, the descendants of these people, they will no longer call themselves Koreans and Japanese people, they will all become Ming people.
