Chapter 370: Slaves in Dengzhou Harbor!
Unconsciously, Zhu Zilong found himself seemingly aiming for so-called self-success and a higher quality of life. More and more festivals are dropping!
It seems that there is no such thing as marriage that there must be love between the two parties, but considering that most people in ancient times did not have love when they got married, this guilty thought only existed in Zhu Zilong's heart for three seconds, and then disappeared without a trace.
"I am now a traverser, I want to live, I want to help the great cause of the Chinese nation to progress, no matter how unscrupulous it is, it is right, it is standing on the highest point of morality, but ordinary people can't understand it, and they can't do it......" Zhu Zilong hypnotized himself for a while, and his heart immediately calmed down.
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was thinking about it, and the expression on his face was also changing.
The onlookers all followed his expression, and Ah Zhu's grandfather, Village Elder Hong, was even more nervous.
In fact, if it is said that some extraordinary means are used, the village chief and others actually respond to this sentence at this time. The status of the Tan family has been too low since ancient times, and although the racial hierarchy in the Chinese calendar is not as obvious as that of Ah San, there is a similar caste system under the unspoken rules.
The Tan family has been a bit like the untouchables on Ah San's side in all dynasties, of course, it is slightly better.
If the Tanka family wants to jump out of this class, it is difficult for men to be difficult, and it is also possible for the women in the Tanka family to marry inland people. For example, marry a Song person now!
Generally speaking, no matter how poor the people of the Song Dynasty were, men rarely married women from the Tan family. And the women of the Song Dynasty would hardly marry into the Tan family.
Because, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, if you enter the Tan family, you will not be able to go ashore to make a living, and it will ruin your reputation and make you ashamed of your ancestors. For a person in the Song Dynasty who has read a book, it is better to ask for food when the Tan family is alive, in terms of social status, the day when the person who asks for food can turn over, the Tan family will never be possible.
But obviously, Zhu Zilong didn't take these into account. And even if there is, his doppelganger is not an inverted door or a door-to-door son-in-law anyway. It's just to marry Azhu as a wife!
So, when Zhu Zilong finally told everyone that he also liked Azhu and was willing to marry the village chief's family.
Except for a few men in the Kai Tan family who had a crush on Ah Zhu, all the others, men and women, young and old, were happy and cheered for Ah Zhu and the village chief. The marriage between the Song people and the Tan family has not appeared for some years. Moreover, this He Jun (the pseudonym used by Zhu Zilong's clone) is said to be a Song man who has read books and has a good family income.
"Humber...... For the time being, let's call you that old, don't be surprised. I had the ambition to go thousands of miles away, but now that I think about it, it seems that the conditions are not enough. Now I just want to get close to Azhu, and I think the big guys on this island are living a very tight life. Why don't you work together with my He family in the future, anyway, it's not an outsider inside and out! Zhu Zilong said indifferently.
When the village elder Hong heard this, Jingran Zhu Zilong was willing to hire the Tan family for a long time, and he was also a little close. This relationship is good, for the Tan family, this is a good thing, so you can not agree.
went to the village to publicize this, and quickly selected a group of young people who volunteered to mix with Zhu Zilong. Among them, the son of the village chief, Azhu's brother Ahai led the team.
Speaking of which, for spending such the least amount of money, but getting the best sailor, it was Zhu Zilong who earned it.
In these years, there are a lot of good farmers in the Song Dynasty, but the sailors of each family are all full of people early, and they are half of the technical talents. It is only because the Song people look down on the Tan family that they do not recruit talents.
Whenever he wants to have a group of qualified sailors under his command, Zhu Zilong changes places, not only has to dig the corners of the wall beyond the sky-high price, but it is also difficult to ensure their loyalty. Therefore, from another point of view, in fact, being willing to marry Azhu is also one of the factors for Zhu Zilong to win over the Tan family.
won the highest prestige of the village chief's family, and he was also related to his family, and he did not look down on any of the Tan family members from the heart to the outside, and the salary he gave was higher than that of other people's families, and he also said that he could be hired for a long time. This behavior and relationship is like sending charcoal in the snow, and it is definitely twice the result with half the effort!

After only recuperating on this island for two or three days, Zhu Zilong took Ah Hai and a few Tan family boys, got on a small boat and went straight to Dengzhou Port. That is, the estuary of Shandong, where Zhu Zilong set off before his doppelganger.
Dengzhou Port, Banqiao Town, Mizhou: In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Dengzhou Port was an important trading port on the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Most of the Korean envoys to China entered the country through the port of Dengju. The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty also traveled from the port of Dengzhou.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Goryeo", in February of the fourth year of Chunhua (993 AD), the Song court sent two secretaries, Cheng Chen Jing and Liu Wu, to envoy Goryeo, and set off from Dengzhou Port.
At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the commercial status of Dengzhou Port was much higher than that of Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou and Yangzhou.
Later, due to Japan's policy of closing the country, coupled with the obstruction of the Khitan people and the progress of navigation technology, the method of island-by-island navigation was completely eliminated, so that the trade between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Goryeo Kingdom through the port of Dengzhou was intermittent, and the economy of Dengzhou experienced great ups and downs, and the role of the port was declining day by day.
But even so, because the Great Song Dynasty still controlled and occupied the advantages of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and other places, the Liao State and other countries were very weak. Therefore, even the role of Dengzhou Port began to decline. It is still an important port city!
On this trip, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger had a very clear purpose, one was to buy slaves, and the other was to come to the port to order new ships.
In the memory of later generations, there seems to be such an impression that the Song Dynasty was a dynasty without slaves. Actually, no, there are slaves, but they are open and private.
First of all, the slaves of the Song Dynasty, who were not made public, were criminals with no social status in the early days. And the kind of Xiang Jun, do you think they live like people? If you don't have the name of a slave, you don't live a slave-like life?
As for the truly open slave, that's another one. Non-Song Dynasty people!
You must know that the idea of a great power in the Celestial Empire has been very marketable in Chinese history. Therefore, in the hearts of Chinese from ancient times to the present, people from any country other than the Chinese are barbarians and can be slaves.
For example, at this moment, Zhu Zilong went to the port slave market. Here is the professional sale, overseas refugees. Of course, to say that refugees look down on them is to take advantage of the poor foreigners and refugees as slaves.
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by rows and rows of slaves whose hands were shackled around their necks, tied there like animals.
Some of these people are from the Asan side, there are wandering proletarians from Japan, and there are also monkey-like people from Southeast Asia. Zhu Zilong walked in and looked around, and unexpectedly found that Jing Ran still had dozens of white-skinned slaves.
Interestingly, dark-skinned slaves are common. I didn't expect that there would be white-skinned people, could it be Europeans?
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger deliberately walked in front of the dozens of people and looked at them carefully. There is a comparison in my heart, because I am well-informed, and I can identify it at the moment. That's right, these people are purebred Europeans, or northwestern Europe, not strings like Turkey and Greece.
