The days of Kaffa City continue to be uneventful in the midst of the dull.

This is probably the largest slave market in Europe. The slave trade fell silent in much of Western Europe due to the exclusion of slaves by Catholic teachings, and it was not until decades later that the Age of Discovery re-emerged. Perhaps the most courageous people who make money can make the most money. The Lombards intervened in trade that no one else dared to do, and under pressure from the Pope, they succeeded.

Besides, a few decades ago, the status of the pope in the competition for the position of pope after the Hundred Years' War between England and France has been weakened a lot. Moreover, many people in Rome were involved in the Lombard trade.

It has to be said that the people of the land under the Pope are the most disobedient businessmen to the Pope's discipline, which has to be said to be a big joke.

Early this morning there were twelve ships from Tana, loaded with more than 1,400 Slavs captured from Bolgar, and a small number of Chuvash slaves. These people were clearly victims of the internal war in the Kazan Khanate. Otherwise, the slave catchers set out from Tana, at the mouth of the Don River, to the Bolgar region, and they would simply be looking for death. The crazy Tatar tribes can pinch them out of the.

Tana is a city at the mouth of the Don River, which can be regarded as a colonial city. The original city in this location was called Azov, which is the Turkic word for Azah, which is the origin of the name of the Sea of Azov. In later generations, the city here was named Rostov-on-Don.

In the struggle against the Genoese, Haji Grei found a way to keep the two sides coexisting. The Tatars relied on the Genoese in many places, such as the slave trade, so these colonial cities gradually survived.

The slaves were herded into a camp outside the city. There, as long as they were able to survive the occasional slave traders, they would be sold to Ottoman Turkey, or further afield to Egypt. Of course, the Middle East is not impossible.

By noon, six large ships had arrived. Four of the ships are something that many people think is wrong. After watching it for a long time, they realized that these were the four ships chasing and intercepting taxes in the Kerch Strait? Because of the acquiescence of the governor of Kaffa, the merchants had to pinch their noses and pay the money.

What are they doing now?

Two big-bellied cargo ships left four ships close to the port of Kaffa. A lot of goods were written down from it. But it doesn't seem like much. A few wagons were loaded.

Soldiers sent by the governor of Kaffa escorted the men into a building in the harbor trade area.

After a while, a strange flag was hung there. Overall red bottom, black line, and then a quirky symbol on it. It looks a bit like a Muslim. They weren't allowed to worship idolatry, so they used some very strange things as flags.

In the afternoon of the same day, the people of the city spread the banner to the king of the east who had defeated the governor of Kaffa. As for when a king appeared there? That's not something people in the city think about.

What is he doing here? Open a business stack? Ready to trade with Kaffa?

The rich people were idle and panicked, and they were ready to go there to see the excitement. There are really a lot of rich people in Kaffa City. After all, this is a city that is supported by the sinful slave trade. The richest slave traders controlled the vast majority of the subsistence resources, while the lower classes, who made up the vast majority, were left to survive.

The next day, the barn was officially flagged in Greek, Genoese and Chinese.

And there is also a price board for the items for sale.

[Fine woolen: sixty-three gold coins per horse. 】

[High-grade refined salt: one sea peren and four asprons (small silver coins that still existed in the last years of Eastern Rome, the exchange ratio is one to six). 】

【Delicate Shovel: .....】

【Delicate Iron Pot: ......】

Wool! Table salt!!

Everything else doesn't matter anymore!

The important thing is the woollen velvet!! This kind of thing completely rose to luxury in the Crimea! Of course, in other places, woolen wool is also unaffordable for ordinary people.

Salt! The same scarce goods in the region are so much that the price is only high!

The rich people sent their servants to the merchant inns of the Han Kingdom!

In Kaffa, a barren place where entertainment is only wine and women, woolen wool will also become a luxury for these rich people to compete for wealth~!

In a sense, Kaffa is a place where money is surplus to commodities. Here, money is sometimes even just exchanged for slave metal!

A thousand catties of salt were soon bought by the major families, and the few middle classes in the city also consumed some of it. The second white woolen wool was robbed by the rich people in the city before it arrived for a long time! Qiao Fuan was even surrounded by a group of housekeepers!

If it weren't for the promise that the next batch of wool would arrive soon, I'm afraid Qiao Fuan would be directly arrested by this group of crazy housekeepers!

Helping his clothes, Qiao Fuan breathed a sigh of relief in fear.

It seems that I am still not hard enough.

After the looting, the main business of the merchant was salt and ironware. And, of course, there are leather bags in good style, which, like wool, are the product of grazing. The bags made by ingenious workers look good, are all genuine leather, and are very sturdy.

Leather bags, like ironware, gained the favor of the Kaffa middle class. These things allow them to better distinguish themselves from the mudlegs.

Most of these middle class members are compradors in a certain area, one of the heads of the chamber of commerce, housekeepers, etc. They are appendages attached to the rich. So for Kapha, the social class is dumbbell-shaped. Thick at both ends and thin in the middle.

"How's it selling today?" Conrador sorts out his own gauge, and in the evening there is an evening party organized by a wealthy local businessman.

The coat on Conrador is made of wool. If you're willing to ignore those short-legged pants and stockings.

"King Han's goods are in great demand, and there is even a rush there today. It is said that some merchants have sent people straight to the capital of the Han king to ask for it. The staff said.

"Let those people get back. Tell people who think this way that these items will only be sold in Kaffa, especially the woolen fleece they like. Conrador put on his hat, "Let's go." Let me see how these merchants will toss these woolen wool in half a day. I love this thing so much! ”

......

"Noble? Hell, I said it all, my daughter ran away! What shall I marry him? Go and marry him yourself! ”

Chabala crouched in the tent, unhappy to confront his second son.

"My father, I'm just informing you. I got the news that Bao Yin is now in Kerch in the southeast, and I have reported it to the adult. You can just stay here. Don't bother anymore! Aha......."
