The black pressed Kunlun slaves, all sitting on the ground, all looked at Du Mingen, looking at the person in front of them who was completely different from the people they had seen before.

"Distinguished guests, these slaves are the best slaves, you look at their teeth~ are very sound, which shows that they are very healthy and very young."

"It's very cheap, a slave can be bought for only one or two pieces of silver, and if you buy more, I can also give you some female slaves or some small slaves."

Faisal picked up a slave, patted the slave's strong body, and then pinched his mouth open, revealing neat, snow-white teeth.

He saw that Du Mingen showed interest, and thought that Du Mingen wanted to buy these slaves, so he also carried out a hard promotion.

"You see, these are female slaves, all of them have big butts and big waves, and they will definitely not lose money if they buy them back, no matter what they are used for, they are very good."

"Your crew will be very lonely and lonely sailing on the sea, and it is also a good choice to buy some slave girls to stay on the road."

Listening to Faisal's introduction, Du Mingen and the others shook their heads again and again.

Daming's side has always been white as beauty, this black Kunlun slave, no matter which point does not conform to the aesthetics of the Ming people, this is absolutely untouchable.

"One tael of silver for a slave is very cheap, in the Beijing-Tianjin area, in the original time, a grassland slave had to be sold for dozens of taels of silver."

"In the future, these slaves may still be useful for large-scale plantations in the South Seas, but that is also a matter of the future."

Du Mingen touched his chin and pondered.

In this day and age, manpower is still very important.

In the era of no large-scale mechanization, all aspects are inseparable from manpower, the plantations of the major commercial houses in Nanyang of the Ming Dynasty, many of them are hired natives to help plant, because there are not many Ming people who are willing to immigrate out, and the Ming people go to sea, often the moon rings very high.

Many Ming people also do not do it for a long time, after a little familiarity with the environment, they will do it alone, so that they can make money faster, no matter how bad they are, they can reclaim the land by themselves, and the land reclaimed belongs to themselves, and few people say that they will go to be planted.

Du Mingen looked at these female slaves again, and thought about his crew, even if he thought about women, he didn't know what to do with such goods.

"Do you have any white female slaves here, and if there is, I'll buy some."

After thinking about it, Du Mingen felt that since he had the opportunity, he would still see if he could buy some white female slaves, some Middle Easterners and Persians were still very white, at least they could still meet the aesthetics of the Ming people.

"White female slave?"

When Faisal heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "There is no one here in Mogadishu, but there are many here in Cairo, Egypt, and you can buy as much as you want." ”

"Cairo, Egypt?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately shook his head slightly, he was still going south to explore the east coast of Africa, and this time he didn't plan to go to Egypt.

After the deal with this Faisal, Du Mingen also continued to walk around Mogadishu.

The feeling of Mogadishu to Du Mingen is similar to that of the Middle East and Persia, except that there are a large number of Kunlun slaves here, and other than that, there is not much difference.

A few days later, Du Mingen's fleet set sail again after replenishing the food, fresh water, and some vegetables and fruits.

Along the east coast of Africa, the fleet is also constantly moving south.

To Du Mingen's surprise, as the fleet continued to move south, the people encountered along the way became darker and darker, and when they reached the back, the people they encountered were really as black as charcoal.

The Kunlun slaves here in Mogadishu are much whiter than these Kunlun slaves.

And there are huge differences in the shape of the face, the lips, the bridge of the nose, and so on.

The further south he went, the thicker his lips became, the more collapsed his nose became, and the more unsightly his face became.

In addition, after leaving Mogadishu, all the way to the south, Du Minen did not encounter a decent city, and almost every place he went to was in a very primitive tribal stage, and only a few places were the same as Mogadishu, because of the arrival of Middle Easterners and Persians, so some small cities were established here.

"It's time to get ready to go back~"

"Africa is really a backward land, and the entire east coast of Africa, except for Mogadishu, doesn't even have a decent city, just tribes of all sizes."

"But this coastline is really a golden coastline, rich in ivory, diamonds, gold and silver, and these countless Kunlun Nu tribes, large and small."

"It will be very easy to occupy this place in the future, how many people are needed, and a few hundred people are enough to easily occupy a colony here."

"It's just that these Kunlun slaves are very lazy, and they feel very unenterprising, and among all the places I have walked, this is the most backward and primitive place."

"The descendants of the Yin Shang in the Golden Continent, although they are still in the primitive tribal stage, but those descendants of the Yin Shang are extremely intelligent, and they are very strong, they can fight well, and they have also established a huge empire here in the Middle Golden Continent."

"But here in Africa, along the way, I haven't even found a decent country, which is really incredible!"

In his journal, Du Mingen recorded the situation on the east coast of Africa in detail.

"It's very rich here, the climate is pleasant, the land is fertile, such a heaven-sent land, it's cheaper for these lazy Kunlun slaves, this is simply a tyrannical thing!"

"I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are hardworking and intelligent, but I can only survive in the land of China, how unfair is God."

Writing this, Du Mingen couldn't help but sigh.

Only those who have really gone to sea and seen the world will know that the Ming Dynasty is not the center of the world, and the places outside the Ming Dynasty are not all wild places.

There are many places where the climate is better than that of the Ming Dynasty, the land is more fertile, and the products are more abundant.

Coming to the fertile land of Africa, Du Mingen can be regarded as seeing its richness and fertility.

That's why Du Mingen has such feelings.

On the side of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people have almost developed and utilized the land to the extreme, as long as the place that can be reclaimed has been reclaimed and planted with grain, vegetables and fruit trees.

But even so, the people at the bottom are still hungry, unclothed, tired and tired, and they are not as comfortable as these lazy Kunlun slaves here.

This made Du Mingen feel that God was very unfair.

After Du Mingen's fleet arrived at the location of Kenya in the later generations, Du Mingen felt that he had returned, this time it had been out long enough, and the voyage had been long enough, and the key was that the crew was also homesick and should go back.

It always seemed very long to return to the city, and along the way from which it came, the fleet headed east, heading towards the Ming Dynasty.

……

Daming capital.

Recently, Liu Jin has also been very busy, very busy.

Because the tax yamen and the city offices set up in various places in the Ming Dynasty finally began to report the tax money and account books collected from various places to the capital one after another.

There is no way, Da Ming is too big.

In the era when there were no airplanes, automobiles, telegraphs, and telephones, this kind of appearance basically relied on walking, and the transmission of information basically relied on shouting, and the transmission speed of this information was very slow.

Not to mention anything else, just the original two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, from Yunnan to the capital, even if there are official roads and fast horses, this speed is still very slow.

Not to mention today's Daming, it is no longer limited to the traditional sense of two capitals and thirteen provinces.

To the north, on the Liaodong side, with the arrival of immigrants and the liberation of the Liaodong military households, great enthusiasm and motivation broke out here, and a large number of people went out of the Liaodong capital to open up further north.

On the grassland, the grassland towns are still being built, the northernmost grassland castle has now been built to the northernmost part of the North Sea, it is said that there are many merchants who go here to buy furs, there are a lot of mink here, and the quality is very good.

In the west, with the rise of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland, the Warat tribes in the west were in a panic, always worried that the Ming Dynasty would continue to expand westward this year.

To the east, in Ginzyama Prefecture and the leased Hyogo Nozu, there are all municipal shipping divisions here, and in just one month, the municipal shipping divisions in these two places received more than 1 million taels of tax silver.

There were too many merchant ships between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom.

Especially since the end of last year, after the agreement between the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, not only the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to the Wa Kingdom, but the merchants of the DPRK also began to appear frequently in the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, and the merchants of the same Wa Kingdom and the control merchants of some daimyo also began to appear frequently in the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

With the frequent exchange of ships and goods, the city naturally received more and more silver.

A little further south, on Ryukyu Island, there are now more than a dozen cities alone alone, except for the first few castles that expanded and built one after another after the Ryukyu Castle, the other cities were built by the major trading houses of the Ming Dynasty.

Now these places are also set up counties, the imperial court has appointed officials, there is also a tax yamen, began to tax here, the sugar industry on the Ryukyu side is a lucrative industry, this tax is casually collected, in January, the Ryukyu side handed over hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Further south was the newly established province of Nanyangxing, where there were large and small plantations, and at the same time it was a necessary place for trading houses to travel to and from Nanyang, and the city and tax yamen of Crescent City received 1 million taels of tax silver in just one month.

The taxes, silver, and data from all over the country also converged to the capital one after another, which made Liu Jin very busy, and he had to report to Emperor Hongzhi every day.
