Chapter 502: Hantang Group's Ocean Fleet (29)

This time of year in the Goa region is the best time for the weather, and every qiē is refreshing.

The temperature is in the twenties, the air pressure has been fluctuating in the normal range, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the wind has been three or four degrees.

There were also some Ming merchants who wanted to go to Mumbai to do business, so they went directly.

Off the west coast of this part of India, there were no pirates, as the Portuguese-Indian Governor and Captain Cole had pledged to do.

The members of the Haian Brigade all live on the ship, and they do not want to live in Goa City.

The reason is that their accommodation on the ship is better than on land, and to be honest, in this Goan city, there is always a smell of rot in the air, and the sewage is still flowing everywhere, and you can step on it accidentally.

Anyway, these people are the cleanest people in this plane, and they don't look down on others.

At leisure, everyone takes turns to go ashore to play, which both parties have explained when signing the contract.

At the beginning, Captain Sun Yu, Captain Wang Cheng, and Captain He Maxiang also walked around the streets like ordinary team members, but there was really nothing to buy.

Ordinary fruits are bought and eaten, and cashew nuts are a specialty here, but some members of the maritime security team said that they had a headache after eating too many objects.

When they went shopping together, they were all indignant at the local woman Phi Shari, damn it, it's not Islam, what kind of veil is it?

Some women look really good in shape, but they can't see their faces!

The smiling old sea wolf, who had been with him all the time, said: "The Hindus, fearing that the women who would marry them forcibly and in a disorderly manner, came to give their women scarves, and secondly, to marry their women as children, and to marry at the age of eight or nine, which is a common thing, and thirdly, the widows persuaded them to set themselves on fire......

Captain Wang Cheng nodded and said, "I see, then why do you Ming people also advise widows to stay alive and widowed?" ”

The smiling old sea wolf said, "Captain Wang, in fact, I already have the ID card of the Hantang Group below.

They persuaded people to be widowed, mainly because if the widow has the chastity archway issued by the government, the fields under her name can be tax-free, and the yamen will send silver taels during the New Year's holidays.

Of course, it is also for the sake of righteousness, but at least it will not cost people's lives. ”

Captain Sun Yu said hatefully: "Damn, it's a reverse moral pacesetter, and it's already harmful!" The pacesetter who always calls on others to learn......"

“……”

Then they didn't have time to go shopping.

Besides, although it is the largest colonial city on the west coast of India and the most populous, in this time and space, they are really not as good as the coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty.

They began to work on the rented land.

The point is that the place is bigger now, and it's farther away from the Goa River, so it needs to be planned well, but none of the three of them will do this.

The three of them were arguing around the hastily drawn drawings, and there was nothing to do.

Captain Sun Yu said: "Let's pull it down, let's not do this, why don't we level the land, prepare the sand and gravel, and wait for professionals to build it, what kind of energy are we arguing with each other?"

Captain Wang Cheng, your design is to make it a residential area, what about Ma Xiang? You're a production team! I'm going to say it's a bigger pedestrian street......"

Captain Homa didn't like to hear it, and said, "Wouldn't it be good to leave some land to grow soybeans?" That thing improves the land -- what a good black soil it is. ”

But in the end, everyone agreed that the foundation should be built well, and there should be no more things that are not in the bank.

They have invested in the fiery infrastructure projects, burning the wasteland, burying some low-lying land, especially some dead bubbles and muddy ponds around the area, which are all places to raise mosquitoes.

In this time and space, the labor force in India is too abundant, and the infrastructure work is not a technical work, so the project is progressing smoothly.

The three of them, armed with parasols, stood on a high ground, crossed their waists, pointed left and right at a broken drawing, and waved left and right at the entire project site, all pretending to be on-site commanders there.

The labor force at this construction site is mainly recruited, and all of them are strong laborers, and they are willing to contribute to the work.

Farther afield, along the Goa River, there were also slaves they bought.

The population here can be bought and sold.

In several local states, people of lower rank than the Shudras are called "Dalits", which in the local language means "the oppressed".

They are never allowed to participate in any religious activities, so they can never have a second life.

Traditionally, Dalits were considered dirty, and this filth could be transmitted to others through contact, so they kept it from the crowd.

Even the Shudras looked down on them, and they themselves resigned themselves to their fate, living to live and dead to die.

These people walk away from people, because they can't let their shadow fall on passers-by.

What's more, some people carry brooms and sweep away their footprints as they go.

If they work for people in any village, they are not allowed to live in the village, and they cannot go to the village well to draw water, but they have to go outside the village to find a way.

Their best bet is to be slaves to the earth kings, so that they will at least associate with people of the same status as themselves, and the moral and material burden will be a little less.

In the plan of the Han Tang Group, they want to buy these people to serve the urban construction of Singapore, and of course, now the Andaman Island has been added temporarily.

Originally, it was okay to recruit laborers, but the Hantang Group decided to buy it considering the customs and habits of this time and space.

In fact, they fancy the labor they buy is much cheaper, and the cost of this thing is greater than human rights in this time and space.

Captain Homer led the smiling old sea wolf to the Maharaja of Karnataka.

This guy not only brought the elephant, a first-class protected animal in the world, but also openly built a big tent in Goa City and covered it with a carpet a foot thick.

The whole tent was glittering with gold, but the curry was full of flavor, mixed with the smell of alabaster.

When Captain Homer's smiling old sea wolf offered to buy a Dalit, the middle-aged bastard refused without even thinking about it.

Captain Homer Xiang's heart sank at the time, let's see, the information given by the Hantang Group is wrong, and people don't agree to human trafficking.

The middle-aged bastard gave a reason: how could they be exchanged for the purest and most sacred gold?

Homer was happy, so it was.

As long as it can be changed, as long as the Hantang Group has it, it is easy to say.

As a result, the middle-aged bastard proposed that he could exchange it with cool oil or wind oil essence, and so could matches.

This middle-aged bastard doesn't know why he likes stimulating things.

At that time, at the exhibition of the Hantang Group, the businessman led by the Pan family had just begun to show the use of cool oil, and this middle-aged bastard wiped his face when he grabbed it, and almost wiped it in his eyes.

His whole face was wooden, but he waved his hand and said he wanted it all.

Fortunately, the person led by the Pan family was clever and found a way to divide some of the other two.

When showing how to use the wind oil essence, they didn't dare to tell them that this object could still be drunk.

Once you drink too much, who can be responsible? Let them find out later.

But this time they sold out all the goods they had brought.

The middle-aged cutie said that he could owe it first.

Captain Homer raised his hand happily and motioned for five boxes or bottles for one person, which could be bargained.

But that middle-aged cutie seems to be a little angry.

Captain Homer was a little blushing at that time, really, too bullying, and the price he gave was too low.

He asked the smiling old sea wolf to bid him fifteen boxes or fifteen bottles for one man.

Before the smiling old sea wolf could bid, the middle-aged cutie said, how could they be worth so much, a box or a bottle for ten.

Later, Captain Homer Elephant learned that this middle-aged cutie could count to ten at most.

There are a lot of people they have changed at this time, and they didn't expect this middle-aged cutie to be able to send people so quickly, and they are all in the prime of life and can work.

Of course, some women were sent as requested, but there were no children.

The smiling old sea wolf said, "The children belong to the princes, and have nothing to do with their parents—"

Captain Homer was silent, and finally sighed, Forget it, we respect the local customs.

Captain Homer howled and said, "Three years, as long as you work for three years, we will give you freedom and dignity!" ”

But those people's faces were still wooden, and there was no sadness or joy.

Captain Homer could only roll his eyes and think, since you have all accepted this state of life, then work first, and the rest will be later.

What I didn't expect was that when these Dalits were put into the construction site, damn it, those hired workers were gone! They thought they couldn't work with these unclean people, and they showed a red face and a thick neck.

How is it unclean? They have all bathed in the Goa River with our soap, and you can't even afford soap!

At that time, Captain Sun Yu was still scolding in his heart, damn it, you are also a part-time worker, and you still learn from others to discriminate against you! I still look down on those who are weaker than you, they are all bastards!!

However, it is still necessary to respect the customs and habits of this time and space, and in the end, those Dalits are still put into the river to sift sand, and this building material is also as many as there are.

Dozens of marching tents were arranged there to fence off the place. Let the members of the maritime security team personally cook and deliver meals to them.

Here, the people hired to deliver their meals are not hired.

In this way, the construction site was safe, and the hired workers were honest and went back to work.

The arrival of the Hantang Group's fleet also attracted the attention of the British East India Company, and they also took the initiative to join in the trade activities.

In 1613, the British East India Company established a trading post in Sutra, western India, and soon there, a trading post in Madras, southeastern India.

Around 1698, the East India Company bought Kolkata, located at the mouth of the Ganges River in the Bay of Bengal, from the Mughal government of India.

Kolkata's small village is a small village with a lot of rice and jute, rivers and plains stretching as far as the eye can see.

The East India Company set up its trading headquarters here, and brought a steady stream of Indian grain and industrial raw materials back to England, from which it made huge profits and slowly grew into a behemoth.

However, now, it seems that they do not have that opportunity, and whether they can gain a foothold in India is a question.

PS: Yesterday's monthly pass battle was thrilling.

On the last day, laser310, Gu Jianshan, Shen Leng Dance, Book Friend 1978636, Book Friend 2760905, Alliance Leader Guozhiyin, Your Cat Grandpa, Brother Jing, Book Friend 5698867, Fat Horse 123, and Xiling King all cast key votes.

Of course, without the foreshadowing vote of friends in the early stage, every qiē is played in vain.

Thank you also for the support of yezhongye, hippopotamus elephant, and iron coat 1.

To be honest, this battle for the monthly ticket list made me not sleep well all night, it was an experience, and my heart was completely confused at that time.

What's strange is that the manuscript I have saved in the zài draft box is automatically sent. But it's my fault, I'm sorry.
