Chapter 558: I Want to Free the Negroes

There are many businessmen in Guangzhou, and many employees of the former 13 banks will also be engaged in import and export trade with the support of the government with preferential loans.

Compared with the original 13 banks, the Guangzhou Import and Export Trade Committee has a wider range of members, and is elected through democratic elections within the association, with supervisory bodies such as trade unions and boards of supervisors, and the chairman, vice chairman and members are all appointed every five years, rather than being appointed by the government.

If the above personnel have corruption, abuse of power for personal gain, dereliction of duty, abuse of power, tax evasion and other violations of law and discipline, will be investigated and collected by the future prosecutor's office or the Audit Office, and transferred to the court for trial, the government shall not interfere in the election of the committee, and the dissolution of the committee must be voted on by parliament, which makes the committee have the qualification of a civil society independent of the government, can serve the merchants more effectively, coordinate the relationship between the government, the merchants and the dealers, and avoid the members of the committee from embarking on the old road of the thirteen lines. The chairman's position is equivalent to that of the leader of Guangzhou's foreign trade circles, with a high position.

Huang Kaiguang is obviously very satisfied with this chairman, which can give full play to his strengths more than being an official in the government, and it also fills him with ambition to show his strength.

"Huh?" Listening to Huang Kaiguang's introduction, Wang Feng was smiling and nodding, and suddenly his eyes gathered, and he found that among the porters at the dock, there were still a large number of black people, and he immediately asked: "Boss Huang, where did these black people come from?" ”

Huang Kaiguang glanced at Wang Feng quietly, and his mind turned in his heart, Wang Feng asked this sentence inexplicably, he had to judge the meaning of the words. It is also commonly known as figuring out the upper meaning.

According to Huang Kaiguang's analysis and research, among all races in the world. For white people, Wang Feng does not discriminate. Adhering to the principle of equal interaction, his two wives, one from England and the other from Sardinia, are both white, which also shows Wang Feng's attitude towards white people.

For Indians, on the surface, Wang Feng seems to be very friendly, but he has to see the essence through the phenomenon. At the beginning, the Indians were captured, and they were all used as slaves and laborers, but the Indians were not good at work, so they were taken away by Wang Feng, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

As for the Vietnamese, Wang Feng's attitude is very clear, that is, kill, and everything that falls into his hands. No mercy!

Based on the above, the darker the skin, the more unfriendly Wang Feng's attitude is, so for black people. Huang Kaiguang has a number!

"Commander Wang, it's like this!" Huang Kaiguang replied: "Two or three hundred years earlier, there were no blacks in Guangzhou. Although some of the sailors who came to trade were darker-skinned, they were not black. They are all dark-skinned people from Southeast Asia and South Asia, and they are black people in the true sense. It was brought by the whites, the whites kept the blacks as slaves, and the blacks were infinitely powerful, docile and obedient, so they let the blacks do some dirty work on the boat, and later some Chinese saw the benefits of the blacks, so they bought black slaves from the whites, this is the black people you see at the docks, that, you see, there are more black slaves in the foreigner dock area over there. ”

The proportion of blacks in the docks on the Chinese side is not high, but the blacks who get on and off the foreign ships, or the American ships, account for about one-third!

"Oh~~" Wang Feng nodded noncommittally: "Then do you know how many blacks there are in Guangzhou now?" ”

"This" Huang Kai was widely puzzled: "The blacks brought by foreigners generally accompany the ship and cannot live in Guangzhou for a few days, and some even do not get off the ship at all, while the black slaves purchased by the Chinese are scattered, and the amount is difficult to estimate, but according to Huang's guess, there must be three to five thousand." ”

Hong Xuanjiao took it and asked, "What?" Are you going to go after blacks? Although the appearance of blacks is relatively ugly, the smell on their bodies is also bad, but they are actually quite pitiful, whether it is Chinese or foreigners, they all take blacks as slaves, this is certainly not the original intention of blacks, who under the sky is naturally willing to be slaves? And the blacks, unlike the Indians and Vietnamese, have not invaded China, so they can't be killed for no reason, right? ”

It was Hong Xuanjiao who knew Wang Feng best, and when she mentioned black people, she guessed that Wang Feng did not allow black people to exist in Guangzhou.

Yang Shuijiao could also guess what Wang Feng meant, and sighed: "I know Wang Feng, he cares very much about bloodline genes, there are so many blacks in Guangzhou, and they are now slaves, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future, what if it pollutes our bloodline?" If you don't kill them, will you still send blacks back to Africa? ”

With the two women around Wang Feng attached, Huang Kaiguang was even more sure of Wang Feng's idea of purging the blacks in Guangzhou, and hurriedly said: "Although the blacks are pitiful, Deputy Commander Yang's worries are not unreasonable, in the past, we Guangzhou businessmen only considered that the cost of using blacks was cheap, but we did not consider that it would bring pollution to my Chinese blood, this is all our fault, please rest assured Commander Wang, I, Huang, will ask the committee to hand over the blacks to the various commercial ports, huh?" ”

Huang Kaiguang puffed out his cheeks, slashed with one palm, and made a gesture of chopping off his head!

Wang Feng was stunned and said, "Who said I want to kill black people?" I'm going to liberate blacks! ”

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Wang Feng in confusion, in Wang Feng's remarks, racist tendencies are very obvious, such as the most famous, and the most controversial, is that China does not need the Virgin, but such a racist will move a side to black people? It's like the sun coming out of the west.

Wang Feng said lightly: "Boss Huang, do me a favor, help me find all the bosses and ship owners in the port area, including foreigners, I have something to say to them." ”

The second monk Huang Kaiguang was puzzled, so he could only arch his hand: "Huang will go, retire for the time being!" As he spoke, he hurried away with his attendants.

"You're not, aren't you? Oh! My Virgin Mary, you won't be moved, will you? After Huang Kaiguang left, Yang Shuijiao stretched out her hand in disbelief and shook it in front of Wang Feng's eyes.

Wang Feng smiled, grabbed Yang Shuijiao's hand, kneaded it and asked, "Sister Shuijiao, you come to my room tonight, and I will tell you about my mental transformation process, how about it?" ”

Yang Shuijiao blushed and broke away with her hand, muttering: "Don't go, who doesn't know what you are doing?" You can make Sister Xuanjiao's belly bigger first, no, this is not enough, you have to pass Xiuying's level. ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiuying squeezed her fists fiercely and said provocatively: "Wang Feng, your strength hasn't grown for a long time!" ”

"Flutter~~" Hong Xuanjiao chuckled lightly and threw a secret wink to Wang Feng, she also felt that it was time to have a child.

Wang Feng didn't look at Zhou Xiuying at all, smiled understandingly, and asked Boss Chen, "How many troops do we have in the port area?" ”

"A regrouped brigade of the Marine Corps." Boss Chen said without thinking.

"Good!" Wang Feng nodded: "Transfer two regiments over!" ”

"Yes!" Boss Chen saluted and walked away quickly.

"Humph!" Zhou Xiuying snorted lightly: "Shui Jiao still thinks that you have been incarnated by the Holy Mother, do you still want to slaughter black people when you transfer troops?" ”

"I said that I want to liberate the blacks, at least the blacks in China!" Wang Feng reiterated again, and then cast his gaze forward.

Huang Kaiguang's movements were very fast, and he and his entourage acted separately, and after a while, a famous shipowner, merchant boss, and also a foreigner shipowner began to converge on the fort area where Wang Feng was located.

When Boss Chen gathered the strength of the two regiments and came over, there were already hundreds of people standing in front of Wang Feng, and because they had communicated with Huang Kaiguang in advance, they all knew that it was a problem about black people, so no one showed unease or discomfort.

For them, black people are slaves, if Wang Feng doesn't like black people, then kill them, even if some people can't bear it, they won't do it against Wang Feng in this kind of thing.

One after another, after everyone arrived, Wang Feng pressed his hands and said loudly: "I guess you already know my goal, okay, then I won't talk nonsense, our China will be a democratic country in the future, pay attention to freedom and equality, and no one is allowed to keep slaves, even blacks, not to mention that slaves have taken advantage of other people's employment opportunities, forcing workers to take the initiative to lower wages before they can find jobs, which has brought new injustice to society."

So I ask you to release the black slaves, of course, I will not let you suffer in vain, for each black slave, I will pay a ransom of twenty-five pounds! ”

Before the American Civil War until the thirties of the nineteenth century, the average price of a male black slave was twenty-five pounds, while the Indians were only worth ten pounds, the white indentured slaves were also ten pounds, and the Chinese laborers were the cheapest, only five pounds.

Why are black slaves expensive? Because blacks were naturally resistant to smallpox, cholera, and malaria, the mortality rate was much lower than that of the latter three, and it is important to know that smallpox, cholera, and malaria were the three main causes of death in the environment at the time.

As a slave owner, he naturally hopes to squeeze every cent of the value of the slave, and he must be unwilling to die of illness in vain, and the black slaves have a poor spirit of resistance, work hard and complain, and fight and scold, no more than the yellow race will revolt and rebel, and for white indentured slaves, if they are too abusive, they will be condemned by the mainstream white society.

Twenty-five pounds is not a small amount, according to the official exchange rate of the Qing Dynasty is seventy-five taels of silver, but the average price on the black market is about eighty-five to ninety taels, many people are tempted on the spot, but Huang Kaiguang immediately shouted: "Commander Wang is right, there can be no slavery in China, I, Huang, am deeply ashamed to have bought black slaves, how can I make the government break the bank?" My Huang family has a total of eighteen black slaves, and I am willing to hand them all over to Commander Wang for disposal! ”

As soon as these words came out, many scheming people immediately turned the corner and asked the Democratic Alliance Army to pay for the redemption of slaves. Don't worry about being remembered by Wang Feng? Although seventy or eighty taels of silver and a black slave are distressing, it is still clear which is more important.

"I have eleven black slaves in Yongli Bank, all of them will be handed over to the Democratic Alliance Army!"

"My Li family has thirteen black slaves, and I am willing to hand them over unconditionally!"

There are more and more voices willing to release the black slaves, and some of the people who are late to realize it also reacted, and hurriedly shouted to release the black slaves, and in the end, the number of black slaves who promised to be released reached more than 3,000, and this is just the boss of the trading house present!

How many are there who are not present? With so many black people, Wang Feng couldn't help but gasp! (To be continued......)
