Chapter 4: The Merciful Master

The first time I talked about New Orleans in my previous life, it was probably the famous Hurricane Katrina. This hurricane has made the hope of mankind a fierce face, showing the rest of the world the original American style. Of course, the U.S. government, which has countless dogs, has never had a shortage of kneeling and licking people, and these people can still be analyzed from various angles, and the United States is still the hope of mankind.

To be fair, though, Sheffield doesn't like New Orleans. New Orleans, which is now the largest port in the southern United States, is not completely dependent on the slave trade, but the slave trade is also one of the important support points. Raw materials exported from the port, such as cotton and tobacco, were also based on slave plantations. This is the basis of the economic makeup of the American South, and of course, these are small things! The main reason is that New Orleans was occupied by the North just after the Civil War began, and if the Sheffield family was still here, it would have been wiped out by abolitionists at the beginning.

"Have you picked it?" Sheffield, who came back to his senses, asked Lincoln, the black slave in front of him, to be honest, he didn't have much interest in what the black slave grew, as long as he was strong and able to work. As for whether it conforms to his own aesthetics, he doesn't care at all, and he doesn't look like those heavy slave owners, so he has nothing to do with the black girl to try it.

"Alright, master!" The black slave Lincoln led Sheffield and Derek to the front of the selected black slave, just a distance of more than ten meters, Sheffield really blamed himself for why his eyes were so good, at least he saw three pieces of poop, and covered his nose with some dissatisfaction and said, "Mr. Derek, can't you clean up the market?" The environment here is really not very good......"

Sheffield was so upset by the environment that it really felt like a pigsty. The pungent smell was like covering his nose, and it was constantly drilling into his nose.

"There's no way around it, Master Sheffield!" Derek spread his hands and said helplessly, "The slave market is too crowded, we can't clean it up at all, so that's the only way." We'll clean up the slaves when you buy them out......"

Is this the attitude of buying and selling? Sheffield's eyes shrank dangerously, and he decided that if the guy in front of him was sick in the future, he would get the news that he must find a doctor who is proficient in bloodletting to treat him.

Sheffield walked in front of the row of slaves, opened the mouth of one of them, checked his teeth, and hammered his chest, which made a dull noise, but did not move.

"Very strong body, a good material for work!" Sheffield, with a high-minded face as a slave owner, selected four strong slaves from the slaves selected by Lincoln, the black slave, and then turned his head and said, "The ratio of men and women on the plantation is not right, as your master, I must arrange for you to ...... women."

As the owner of these black slaves, it is also important to let the black slaves reproduce, and the black slaves themselves are the private property of the slave owners, and the greater the number of black slaves, the more property the slave owners have. In addition to buying and selling slaves, allowing black slaves to reproduce is also an important practice of accumulating wealth, and to put it bluntly, raising black slaves is the same as raising pigs. While speaking, Derek had already arranged for someone to shackle the black slaves selected by Sheffield, and Sheffield and his party turned left and came to another area, which was a black slave gathering area in the United States.

Most of these slaves were bought and sold between slave owners in the south, but there were also slaves transported from the north, and some of them were recaptured by slave hunters who escaped through the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad movement is rampant, and it won't be in Louisiana, which is a stronghold of slavery. If they had been discovered by the slave owners in New Orleans, the thieves would not have made it out of Louisiana alive.

These black slaves in the United States are less wild than those smuggled from Africa. This shows that some intelligent species have the possibility of being domesticated. It has not been domesticated, but people have not yet found the means to domesticate.

Sheffield sometimes wondered if he was thinking about learning from the Arabs, the ancestors of the slave trade, and castrating all the slaves he caught, but eventually gave up this idea, because the Arabs did it because it was relatively close to Africa, and the slaves could be recaptured if they died, but the United States and Africa were separated by an Atlantic, and it was not so easy to catch them now.

"I wasn't born in a good era...... Sheffield sighed, stretched out his finger and pointed at a few black girls, and the white thugs in the slave market immediately entered the black slave group, and the few black girls pointed out by Sheffield pulled out and pressed them directly on the ground and chained their hands. All the white people around the whole scene are going to be doing what they should do, and they have long been surprised by this kind of scene.

"Give me a little lighter! I tell you, if you hurt the slaves I want, you must be discounted......" Sheffield hurriedly stopped, not because he had a good heart, but because these black slaves were damaged, and all the losses from his injuries should be counted on him.

"By the way, you lighter! I've hurt and deducted your wages! As soon as Derek heard about the discount, he immediately began to stop the thugs from acting too roughly. This kind of profit-oriented face makes Sheffield next to him really look down on him. Truth be told, Sheffield thinks there's a lot more important to the world than money, like this, well, right......

At this time, a female black slave struggled without knowing where the strength came from, and shouted at Sheffield with a painful face, Sheffield stopped the thug who was about to punch the black girl, squatted down and looked at the woman in front of her who was the same color as her previous life's leather shoes, and asked, "What's wrong?" I'm very merciful, and there's no more benevolent slave owner in all of New Orleans, right, Lincoln? ”

The black slave Lincoln immediately said yes, and the black girl in front of her kept crying, "I hope that the merciful master can buy my man together, so that I am willing to remain loyal to the master for the rest of my life, and I will not run away under any circumstances......"

Sheffield followed the woman's gaze and saw a black slave who was not too strong, "The physical condition can only be regarded as average, but it is not a drag!" After a few comments in his heart, Sheffield simply agreed, just now he said that he was a benevolent slave owner, if he didn't agree to such a trivial matter, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

What's more, it's easier to find out if two people run away than one person, and if you want to escape from Sheffield's plantation, you can try it, for the structure of the plantation, Sheffield, who has interned in Kazan Prison, is really full of loopholes, and he has ordered a batch of iron frames to prepare for a transformation of the plantation.

"It's a shame for the United States that this kind of thing happened in a free country!"

Sheffield suddenly raised his head, glanced around, locked on a white man in a sailor uniform, and asked coldly, "I don't listen to the accent of locals, some people are really strange, obviously they are starving to death, do they still have time to care about others eating seafood or eating beef and sheep tonight?" ”
