"Shen, you are a shrewd businessman, you should know that it is only the first generation of slaves who are resisting. As long as you wait ten years or so, the second generation of slaves will be long, and soon you will have a group of obedient slaves, who do not need to pay any wages at all, only need a small amount of food...... "Thomas is like a devil to tempt.

Shen Yue looked at the bearded captain, and felt that the other party was a slave trader.

"A Pistol gold coin weighs 5 grams, 110 Pistol 550 grams, converted into Ming units, but 17.6 taels of gold. According to the official ratio of the Ming Dynasty, 1:6, but 105.6 taels of silver, even if it is 1:8, it is only 140.8 taels of silver. Captain Thomas, do you think I'm right? Shen Yue pursed his lips and asked.

He didn't know what Pistor was, but he thought of it and used it.

This is a Spanish gold coin and is very valuable. Then 40 pistolls can make 4 nobles and their henchmen feast for a month, and 75 pistolls can make the most discerning lord and his henchmen spend an impeccable trip from Paris to London.

Thomas's eyes were about to fall out.

He didn't expect that just as he was about to use the gold and silver exchange to fool Shen Yue, the other party quoted the conversion price without the slightest pause.

"What's more, Daming is not South America, although the road is much farther, there are supplies along the way, as long as you treat the slaves well, you will not die much, and the profit is far greater than transporting slaves on the Atlantic Ocean without supplies......" Shen Yue took the initiative to lead the topic to the slave trade, just to obtain black slaves.

In his vision, even if the black slaves are obtained, they will not be as cruel as the European colonizers, at least, it is still necessary to feed and clothe the black slaves, and the daily working hours do not need to be so long.

In this way, his factory does not need to pay wages.

The greater advantage is that the dirty work of mining or something is handed over to the black slaves to do, after all, it is not their own race, and their conscience can pass it.

Exploiting the Han people, Shen Yue felt that he couldn't bear it.

It is estimated that the old lady will not agree, the Shen family is completely defeated, and most of the servants are reluctant to leave, knowing that the Shen family is good enough for their subordinates.

If you have no choice, you can only think about black slaves.

"No, that's not the case, it's too far to get from Africa to Daming, and the cost of supplies is high......," Thomas said.

Shen Yue was noncommittal and didn't bother to discuss it with him.

He was already certain that Thomas was a slave trader, or at least, had a lot to do with them.

If you want to think of yourself as a big man, is it possible?

"Shen, are you serious about the recruitment of technicians?" Kent was worried that Shen Yue would cheat himself, and he would work hard to organize a fleet to come to the East to pan for gold, but Shen Yue didn't want it, so it would be troublesome.

Spain and Europe did not have any good things that could impress the Ming merchants.

Unless Southeast Asian spices, ivory, rhino horn, etc.

Shen Yue pouted, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

"What kind of people do you want, can you make me clearer?"

"No problem, it's still early for you to leave, I'll get a list in two days." When Shen Yue was around, he covered his mouth and hit a hatchet, and said to the two, "It's not too early, let's rest first." My butler will show you to your room. ”

Regardless of Kent and Thomas's eagerness to finalize the matter, they instructed Yang Fu to take them to take a bath and rest, and headed towards their own courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Shen Qi led a lot of people to guard it layer by layer.

A huge amount of silver and gold were in the courtyard, and Shen Yue was also troubled when he saw the guards.

It's not a good thing to have more silver, just like in your own time, no matter how much money you put in the bank, you don't have to guard a large amount of cash and worry about someone coming to rob it.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the room was full of boxes, and I had to climb over the silver box to get into bed.

Shen Yue was dumbfounded, Yue'er was sitting on a silver box, holding a broom in her hand, and when she heard the door open, she stood up with the broom in her grip tightly, and raised the broom at the same time.

And the two sisters were on both sides of the moon, one holding a rolling pin, and the other holding a big stick to beat clothes.

Seeing that it was Shen Yue, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing here? Why are there so many boxes in the house? Shen Yue couldn't laugh or cry.

"Young master, they can't put this lot of silver in their chambers, and they are also worried that something will go wrong......" Yue'er explained to Shen Yue.

"Put it in here, you don't have to worry?" Shen Yue was about to vomit blood. "Shen Qi is guarding outside, where will someone come to steal ......"

Yue'er's behavior really made Shen Yue incomprehensible.

The room was not large, and there was no room for a huge number of silver boxes.

I was in a hurry to come back and prepare to find Yue'er to put out the fire, but now, the two personal maids are there, and the room is full of silver, and there is only space left on the bed, which is really depressing, and this fire can't be vented.

persuaded Yue'er for a while, Yue'er didn't listen at all, Shen Yue was sleepy, and no matter how Yue'er tossed, he climbed over the silver box, fell asleep on the bed.

When I woke up, the east was already white.

The three little girls dozed off on the silver box, and almost fell down several times, and Shen Yue couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

"Yue'er, you're not going to keep guarding the silver, are you?" Shen Yue asked helplessly.

"Young master, wealth is moving, in case someone has bad intentions and no one guards it, how can it be done? Our thousands of acres of land are used to pay off debts, redeem the land, and buy more land, all counting on this silver! There is no room for any mistakes, a box of 1500 taels, even if it is 30 taels and 1 acres, you can buy 50 acres! Yue'er said seriously.

Shen Yue touched his chin in embarrassment and asked, "Mother doesn't know yet, right?" ”

"My mother told me to keep it. The mother said, today let the housekeeper communicate with the Zhang family and the Zhao family, redeem the land and the house, and then ask who around them sold the land, and exchanged the silver for the title deed, and it will be down-to-earth......" Hearing Yue'er's answer, Shen Yue was about to cry.

All the silver for the earth?

I still hope to use this batch of silver to pull up a team.

Regardless of whether the old lady got up at this time, she got dressed and walked towards the old lady's yard.

When she went, the old lady had a pair of panda eyes and was discussing with the housekeeper Yang Fu what price to redeem the land from the Zhang family and the house from the Zhao family.

"Mother, redeem the house, the child supports. Redeem the land, never! Shen Yue knew that he had to convince the old lady.

With so much cash at home, it was not locked in the silver cellar, and Qin Yulian didn't sleep well all night.

Before dawn, people found Yang Fu, exchanged the silver for fields, and redeemed the house so that they could sleep peacefully, but they didn't expect Shen Yue to agree at all.

Why is that? Land is the foundation of a family. When the debt was paid to the Zhang family, it was a last resort. With the silver, it will naturally have to be redeemed, otherwise, how can my mother have the face to see the ancestors and explain to your father? Qin Yulian said sharply.

"Mother, nowadays, the imperial court is constantly using soldiers, military salaries are scarce, Jiangnan is constantly increasing endowments, and increasing apportionment...... Those who have connections and backgrounds will bribe local officials, pay almost no taxes, no assessments, and all assessments will be added to landlords without backgrounds...... "Shen Yue will not agree to buy a large amount of land now no matter what."
