It was getting dark, the sun was spreading the heat of the day, and after a long stay, I finally had to return to my home, but the quiet town was still bustling.

As commerce flourished, trade flourished throughout England, so His Majesty the King obeyed the will and abolished the long-standing ban on evening markets, which had existed in name only, and the night markets throughout England flourished.

Of course, a prosperity is the same as before, and it is confined to a certain street, but the prosperity of commerce is still felt by the people of England.

For example, even though the inside of the Papa's Tavern is brightly lit, customers who are used to going to bed early at night still gradually choose to leave.

But there were still a lot of people left in Daddy's Tavern, some drunken drunkards, and the enthusiastic audience gathered around a firewood pit, and the red light shone on their faces, completely driving away the cold of spring.

"Hiccup - I tell you, yesterday, in the port, a large cargo ship came, but strangely enough, there was no cargo on the whole ship, guess what's on board?"

A thin man with a lewd body and a red nose and messy hair, drank a glass of wine in his mouth, pursed his lips, glanced at the eager eyes of the people sitting around him, and was very proud in his heart, deliberately selling Guanzi.

As soon as this strange topic was thrown out, it immediately aroused the interest of many customers, and one by one they stretched their necks and stared at him with longing eyes.

"Say it quickly!" "Tell me, I'm in a hurry!" ……

The urging of everyone made his heart more and more comfortable.

"Originally, I was full of doubts, stretched my head out, glanced up vigorously, waited for a long time, and after making sure that there was no cargo on the deck, the doubts in my heart became stronger and stronger!"

He lifted his chin and looked at the nasty with a proud gaze.

"You think! Isn't it a loss to die on such a big ship without a single cargo? Such a loss-making business, only a fool would do it! ”

As soon as the words fell, a chorus of echoes immediately sounded on the side.

"Yes! How can there be such a fool, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago! ”

"It's definitely important cargo, it's very important, and you don't want us to see it."

"It won't be a boatload of gold! That must have been posted. ”

…………

The atmosphere of the tavern was even more lively with the chatter, and the people were talking about each other, and the curiosity in the hearts of the people was immediately ignited about this strange thing.

After the tavern slowly quieted down, the man sitting in the middle took a leisurely sip of the cloudy wine in his hand and continued.

"I'm also curious, I haven't seen anything like this in a long time, so I just stood there with my head out, and when it was almost dark, the cargo ship finally made a noise—"

Speaking of this, the words on the thin man's lips suddenly stopped, making the audience with pricked ears around him angry for a moment and wanted to curse.

"When it was almost dark, there was a commotion on the ship, and a sailor in a canvas suit came out, and after looking around for a while, as if noticing that there were not many people in the harbor, he made a motion

At this time, a string of figures slowly walked out of the cabin, there was no piece of clothing on their bodies, they were slippery, but strangely, I couldn't see the specific appearance on their faces, one was pitch black, and the whole body was pitch black! ”

When the word pitch black was spoken, the man emphasized it twice, and only after everyone looked at him in amazement did he continue.

"If I hadn't found out that they had a pair of frighteningly white teeth, I would have thought they were wood!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, with an expression of emotion on his face.

"There are also people who don't go back to hell if they don't go back to hell!"

A fat man said in surprise, a hint of fear on his face.

"How is it possible, if it was the devil, the angels would have come out a long time ago, this is impossible!"

A guy who knew a little bit of knowledge immediately began to refute and criticized it with righteous words.

"Finally, I went to ask the owner of the ship, and then I realized that this was captured from a desert continent below Portugal!"

The tall and thin man guessed at everyone, put on a disdainful face, and felt that everyone ignored him, so he said loudly.

"This group of people with black bodies and sparse hair are all from that continent, and it is said that this group of people only spent some of their iron to get it!"

"I reckon there must be at least a hundred, all of them strong and powerful, but they are good slaves, and the sailors call them black slaves!"

"Sir, did anyone buy those black slaves? Is there still one now? ”

A chubby man at the bottom asked eagerly.

"Hey! Man, you're late, this group of people just came out, and in less than an hour, they were sold out, I think, they're probably already booked, if you want, you don't have a chance! ”

The tall and thin man smiled, spread his hands, and said helplessly.

"Alas! That group of people is so strong, they must be profitable to do their work, and they can save me a lot of money! ”

The fat man muttered, the disappointment on his face overflowing.

He was a flour seller, and hundreds of sacks of flour were shipped out every day, and there was an urgent shortage of freight workers, of course, not because he had little money, but because the workers were too greedy.

You know, in the past few years, with the opening of trade routes between Spain and the Mediterranean, all kinds of goods in England have begun to flow abroad, and this huge demand has made the factories of the whole England make a lot of money in an instant.

At this time, England rarely showed a labor shortage.

Yes, that's right, three million people, most of them are underage children, and the rest of the population, however, is mostly tied to the land.

The displaced people were swept away, and they could not force the peasants to leave their land and go into the factories.

After all, working in a factory is better than plowing the land, after all, farming is not life-threatening.

So, when the restless merchants found that they did not have enough workers in their hands, their vigorous desires forced them to rack their brains.

First of all, the merchants spent a lot of money to buy off the magnates of London, and made a proposal to His Majesty to lift the ban on land enclosures.

And the nobles also pushed the boat, so that they also benefited, they were happy.

However, His Majesty the King was determined not to let go of the ban on land enclosures, and in the face of the repeated requests of the magnates, His Majesty the King was determined not to waver.

Seeing that he could not change the mind of His Majesty, the merchants immediately put their minds abroad, and the exiles from Germany and the serfs from Eastern Europe came to England in waves.

And at this time, the rich black resources were finally discovered.
