Chapter 580: The Crazy Slave Trade
The snowflakes are finally falling.
Snowflakes flutter and fall on the earth.
The northern part of Datang once again ushered in a blanket of silver.
At this time, the Great Zhou Imperial City must have been snowing a long time ago.
The ice surface of Lake Baikal is estimated to be more than 30 centimeters thick.
One by one, the ships that had sailed away returned with a full load and docked at the ports in the south.
After a few days of snowfall, it became less and less.
Today's Datang has ondols and honeycomb coal, so there are not as many people freezing to death as in previous years. As for the south, the cold in the south is cold and cold, and it can only be solved by putting on a woolen sweater and burning firewood.
The snow is freezing in the north, and the sun is still shining in many places.
Getting up early, His Royal Highness King Qin walked around Chang'an City, people seemed to have become accustomed to the existence of this king, and when they saw him coming over, they nodded their heads one after another.
He nodded to everyone with a smile, although there were some seemingly honest Kunlun slaves around him, but I have to say that this King of Qin is definitely the most people-friendly in history.
Empress Gaoyang and King Qin are still very influential among the people.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he came to a thousand houses around the corner.
Jinyiwei is now becoming more and more professional, and Cheng Chubi wants to build Jinyiwei into the most powerful intelligence agency in Datang and even the world.
"Your Highness, the slave traders have returned." A thousand households walked in and said.
"Oh? The slave traders are all back? But the merchants who went to Kunlun Continent? Cheng Chubi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
At this time, although Datang's navigation skills are very good, there are not many people who can come back safely when they cross the ocean, and as for those who drive to Africa and come back, it takes a lot of courage and a lot of luck.
"Well, I came back from the Great Kunlun Continent, and I have been waiting for His Highness in the conference room for a long time." The thousand households spoke.
"Good!"
Cheng Chubi was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly walked to the conference room next to him.
I saw that at this time, a group of dusty people were already waiting for Cheng Chubi's arrival.
Seeing Cheng Chubi's arrival, everyone quickly stood up from their seats and shouted, "Meet Your Highness!" ”
"Heroes, don't be polite! Please sit down, please sit down. Cheng Chubi said happily, sat down, and said, "Everyone, is it going well this time?" ”
"Your Highness Xie cares, thanks to Daozun's blessings, we have finally returned smoothly!"
"The sea is thrilling, but it's back."
"Yes, now if you want me to go to sea once, I have palpitations."
“……”
Everyone sat in their seats, and their faces were extremely happy.
Everyone came back with nine deaths, and on this ocean trip, one of the ten ships was able to come back, but every ship that could come back was full of goods.
"You've worked hard this time, but can you bring back what the king needs?" Cheng Chubi asked with concern.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we have already brought back the Great Kunlun Nu that Your Highness wanted." A man with a scar on his face laughed and said, "Your Highness, this time I came back, and my fleet brought back more than a thousand Great Kunlun Slaves. ”
"Your Highness, I brought back three hundred Kunlun slaves."
"Mine has about four hundred."
"Mine is only about a hundred."
“……”
Everyone spoke, and every face was overjoyed.
For them, those Kunlun slaves are all money, a lot of money.
"But someone drew a picture of the voyage along the way?" Cheng Chubi asked.
"Your Highness, I have drawn it, and I have also marked the countries that are far away." A rough-looking man said loudly: "Your Highness, I not only brought Kunlun Nu back this time, but also brought some strange species from the Great Kunlun Continent, do you want it?" ”
"Yes, what would not be?" Cheng Chubi was very happy and said, "What species are there?" ”
"A deer-like animal with a long, long neck, and a herd of horses with black and white stripes, and some lions, a kind of gorilla......" The other party gushed endlessly: "However, the weather in our north is too cold, and I am afraid that those animals will not be able to stand the cold, so they will be placed in the south for the time being." ”
"That's good, when the weather is cold, let's send it back, it's not bad for a few days anyway." Cheng Chubi smiled slightly and said: "However, the Kunlun people have to send it quickly, the sooner the better!" ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, we have already brought the Kunlun people, and they are in the camp outside the city, but Your Highness, can you pay with the gold coins of Da Zhou?" A faint voice rang out.
"Huh?" Cheng Chubi was very puzzled, you don't want pure gold, you have to want the gold coins of Da Zhou?
"Okay, then pay with gold." Cheng Chubi thought about it, since you want to pay with gold coins so much, then pay with gold coins.
When everyone heard Cheng Chubi's words, the whole person was extremely happy.
From Datang to Kunlun Continent, along the coastline along the way, this way entered many countries, and at the same time, it was also found that many countries are popular for gold payment.
Before I knew it, I fell in love with gold coins.
Pure copper can also be used as money, but when people interact with business, they use copper coins instead of pure copper.
Soon, under the leadership of everyone, Cheng Chubi walked out of Chang'an City.
On the outskirts of Chang'an City, on the edge of Weishui, simple camps appeared.
As soon as I got close to one of the camps, I felt a stench.
"it!" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but scold, specially, can you pay attention to hygiene?
Open defecation, you are not afraid of causing diseases, are you?
Seeing someone coming in, many Kunlun slaves who were squatting on the ground and digging stood up and looked at everyone, with a puzzled look on their faces.
Some of them whispered, but they didn't know what they were talking about.
However, Cheng Chubi is still very satisfied with these Kunlun slaves, because these people are young and strong Kunlun slaves, swarthy and swarthy, and many of them are muscular hunks.
"Your Highness, the people of Kunlun Continent are simply too poor, many of them can't even eat a grain of rice in their lives, we just used a small amount of rice to bribe the local chiefs, and they sacrificed the people of the clan, and some of them launched battles and attacked other tribes for a bag of rice, without us doing it ourselves." A slave trader spoke, "If it weren't for the storm we had come back, we could have brought more people back!" ”
"And, Your Highness, I have made a great discovery, that a lot of land in the Great Kunlun Continent is fertile, but there is a shortage of people to cultivate it." He thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, indeed." Cheng Chubi thought for a while and said, "It's a pity, in the future, we will establish our civilization on Kunlun Continent." ”
Africa is poor and hot. Deserts, wastelands everywhere.
This is Africa in the eyes of many people, in fact, in some parts of Africa, the temperature is lower than in China, and some places are mild all year round, and many Chinese people have gone to Africa to farm.
