Chapter 349: Kunlun Nu
Guo Zhiyuan still has a good impression of Xu Xinsu and Yang Tiansheng, but it is impossible for him to issue additional shares, because he must ensure his absolute control, and at the same time he knows that the reason why the sea trade fleet sent this time is so profitable is because the Spaniards slaughtered the Ming merchants and people in Luzon before, which led to the interruption of the maritime trade between Daming and Luzon, so he can eat so many goods at one time. So as soon as he saw the two of them coming, he said haha: "Shouldn't the two of you also come to give gifts to this official?" ……”
Xu Xinsu and Yang Tiansheng glanced at each other a little embarrassed, Guo Zhiyuan gagged them before they could speak, obviously because he didn't want to give them any more shares, so it was a little difficult to speak. Yang Tiansheng's personality is more straightforward, and he said hard: "Hongfu of the adult, this trip has really made a lot of money, I Yang Tiansheng has always been kind and will be repaid, I heard that the adult is building a city in Dongfan, and there is a shortage of manpower, just this time I went to Luzon to meet a big food (big food: referring to the Arabs) sea merchant sold a batch of Kunlun slaves, and the villain bought them all, ready to give them to the adult......"
Guo Zhiyuan originally made up his mind to refuse whatever Yang Tiansheng sent him, but as soon as he heard the words "Kunlun slave", his eyes lit up, Kunlun slave is very famous in history, especially in the Tang Dynasty, rich people have the habit of raising Kunlun slaves, and even regard it as a status symbol, which is like the current ** rich family likes to invite Filipino maids, and it is not good to invite people to come to the house as guests if they don't raise a few at home.
But in fact, there is a great controversy among historians about who the "Kunlun slave" is, and the records in various historical documents are also inconsistent, some say that it is from a country called Kunlun, and its people are characterized by black skin and curly hair, but the specific Kunlun country is not recorded clearly, and it is also said that it is from Southeast Asia The black race (Negritos), and it is said that it is from Africa, in short, there are different opinions, there is no conclusive conclusion, especially after the Yuan Dynasty, the demand of rich people for Kunlun slaves is no longer as fanatical as the Tang Dynasty, Kunlun Nu also slowly dissipated in the long river of history, which can only be left to historians to study.
Guo Zhiyuan, as a history lover who has traveled through time, is naturally very interested in this historical mystery, so he did not refuse, waved his hand and said: "Brother Yang has a heart, then you can take me to see it first......"
Yang Tiansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and led Guo Zhiyuan to the Beigang Wharf that was still under construction, they naturally couldn't return empty-handed this time in the sea trade, the ships were full of all kinds of goods that were ready to be brought back to the inland for sale, Yang Tiansheng didn't know whether Guo Zhiyuan was willing to accept his gifts, so he didn't let this batch of Kunlun slaves get off the ship.
Boarding Yang Tiansheng's big fortune boat, Guo Zhiyuan saw the "Kunlun slave" that Yang Tiansheng said, Guo Zhiyuan had naturally seen black people before the crossing, so he didn't make a fuss, but when he saw the big black man standing in several rows in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly praise how strong it was! Each of these Kunlun slaves is more than one meter nine tall, strong as a cow, and red. The muscles on the bare arms are high and full of strength, especially the leader one, who is more than two meters tall, standing there like an iron tower, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Seeing is believing, Guo Zhiyuan quickly judged that the batch of Kunlun slaves in front of him should be a black race from North Africa, which can be regarded as solving a mystery in his heart, Yang Tiansheng saw Guo Zhiyuan's eyes shining, so he introduced a little pretentiously: "My lord, these Kunlun slaves are all trained, can understand our Chinese, and they are all extremely powerful, one can withstand several of our Chinese when they work, and the most important thing is that they are loyal enough, no matter what the master asks them to do, they will never resist......"
Saying that, Yang Tiansheng made a gesture to the big black man who took the lead, meaning that Guo Zhiyuan would be their new master, and the Kunlun slaves immediately knelt down towards Guo Zhiyuan, and the big black man who took the lead came to Guo Zhiyuan's side on his knees, called "master" in broken Chinese, and lowered his head to kiss Guo Zhiyuan's boots.
Guo Zhiyuan was startled, and hurriedly took a step back to avoid it, he has always been very resistant to this kind of servitude that tramples on human dignity, and he worked so hard to develop his power not to be the emperor, but to prevent the Manchu Qing Dynasty from destroying the Ming Dynasty and letting all the Han people kneel down and call themselves slaves after the Ming Dynasty repeated, so he can't let this kind of thing happen to him!
Those Kunlun slaves saw Guo Zhiyuan's behavior like this, thinking that Guo Zhiyuan was unwilling to ask them, their faces showed a blank and somewhat frightened look, these Kunlun slaves are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart, Guo Zhiyuan is wearing an official uniform, and when he comes, he is obviously the highest status person here, they can't change their fate as slaves, and naturally hope to be a good master.
Guo Zhiyuan looked at the frightened expressions of these Kunlun slaves and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he refused to accept this batch of Kunlun slaves, they still couldn't change the fate of being trafficked, and the fate might be even more tragic, and he noticed that these Kunlun slaves knelt neatly and consistently, plus they were tall and strong, if they were reorganized into a force, their combat effectiveness would be very amazing. In fact, because of the race, the motor cells and muscle explosiveness of black people are much stronger than those of other races, even in modern times, black soldiers account for a large proportion of special forces and mercenary groups in Western countries, such as the famous French Foreign Legion, the proportion of black people has reached more than eighty percent.
Especially in this era of cold weapons competing for strength, the strength and explosive power advantages of the black people can be fully exerted, thinking of the inevitable battle with Jiannu in the future, there is such a tank-like black army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it will definitely make Jiannu, who has always prided himself stronger than the Han people, shocked, that picture Guo Zhiyuan thinks about very emotionally.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan, who was about to reject Yang Tiansheng, turned his head to Yang Tiansheng and sighed: "Brother Yang is really amazing, it seems that I can't accept your 'gift' even if I don't want to!" ……”
Yang Tiansheng was overjoyed when he saw that Guo Zhiyuan was finally willing to accept his "gift", and said with a haha: "My lord, you have also done the villain a great favor, you don't know, these Kunlun slaves can really eat, the villain is about to be eaten poor by them, if you don't accept it, the villain will lose money in this transaction!" ……”
