Chapter 367: The Wayblocker
"We want to keep the Song Empire strong, and I don't want the people to be caught and sold on such occasions because of our weakness in the future." , Zhao Hongyu turned his head and said seriously to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan nodded and responded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't let such a thing happen." We Chinese people are the most noble race in the world, how can we be the same as these people. And Your Highness, you still have that kind of powerful foreign monster, as long as we work together, this kind of thing will never happen. ”
Seeing these sold slaves, Wang Shan was moved.
Wang Shan, who has the concept of Great China in his bones, agrees with Zhao Hongyu's point of view very much.
These slaves who are about to be sold no longer have a 'soul', and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a 'walking dead'.
Because they are very aware of what will happen to them and what will happen to them in the future.
They don't expect much from the future.
If there is one, it is just that I hope to meet a better master who can not let them die in such pain.
Some of these slaves were bought back as servants, and there was some hope for such slaves.
But more slaves, instead were bought back as xing slaves, or gladiatorial slaves.
Therefore, most of them will not end well.
Most men who were gladiatorial slaves would die at the hands of their opponents' swords or at the mouths of wild beasts.
The pain is not humane at all.
And those women who are xing slaves, they have to face the inhuman abuse of their masters, even if the master is a little better, they can only live a good life for two or three years, and then they will be resold or even given away.
After all, a woman's value will depreciate with age and her appearance gets older.
Brutal and real, the slave girls can't escape this nightmare.
When old slave girls have no value, they often end up miserable.
Zhang Tie had come into contact with many slave owners in Manhattan. I heard a lot about this from them, and told Zhao Hongyu about it.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu also knows a little about these things.
But Zhao Hongyu thinks that he is not a savior, although these women are pitiful, he will not be arrogant enough to buy everyone and let them go.
"Honorable sir, how about coming and seeing my goods? My Hay's slaves are the best in the whole city of Cairo, and it seems like you're coming to Cairo for the first time, so you'll need a lot of servants, won't you? ”
A marching procession. Suddenly stopped by a fat Turkish merchant, the genetics pointed the flintlock pistol on the bayonet, but if he did anything dangerous, the bayonet would pierce his fat body in the next moment.
I have to say, this guy has a lot of guts.
Zhao Hongyu has come all the way, and many businessmen want to come over, but no one really implements it.
After all, the bright bayonets of the genetic people are no joke.
But after all, there are still people who are bold. Didn't this Turkish fat man who called himself Hai stand up.
In fact, these businessmen can see that Zhao Hongyu is definitely a rich man.
The clothes they wore were very beautiful, and the clothes of the soldiers were both made of materials and handmade. It doesn't necessarily go any worse.
Especially the clothes on Zhao Hongyu's body, although they are similar to those soldiers, but they have more golden tassel lines.
The businessmen with vicious eyes immediately estimated Zhao Hongyu's approximate level of wealth.
Moreover. Surrounded by so many guards, it is also a big noble.
Aristocrats, can you still be poor?
Although most of the aristocrats in Europe were like goods. But Zhao Hongyu is obviously not a European aristocrat.
And just as he can be accompanied by so many escort soldiers, he won't be far behind.
These merchants are smart.
At this point, Hay was the first to jump out with the courage to do so.
"Don't do it!"
At Zhao Hongyu's signal, Wang Shan stopped the genetic soldiers.
Otherwise, the bold Hay will turn into a tragedy.
The genetics didn't care who was in front of them, even if the man who claimed to be Jehovah was standing in front of them, and they would have handed their bayonets over for such a dangerous move.
That's the benefit of a genetic human soldier.
"What are you! Why do you want to block our way? ”
Wang Shan came in front of Hai Yi and asked with a cold face.
The fat Turkish merchant dressed in black silk, wearing a one-piece white robe and his head wrapped around his head, bowed and replied: "Distinguished guest, Hai has no ill will, and I am very sorry for blocking your way." I'm just a businessman looking to market my goods. ”
"What are you selling?"
At this time, Zhao Hongyu also shook the reins and came here in the slow pace of the horse.
"Hay's slaves are the best in all of Cairo, and what I want to sell you is the best of Hay's goods."
Slave traders
Zhao Hongyu rolled his eyes.
"So many people, why are you blocking my way?" , Zhao Hongyu was a little angry. "I'm not interested in your merchandise, get out of the way."
Seriously, Zhao Hongyu didn't have much interest in slaves.
He had the Janissaries by his side, and it was useless to buy slaves.
This is different from the slave trade in Manhattan, where black slaves were trafficked to the American continent by Europeans because the empire lacked manpower.
And now that the manor has been established and the land is allocated to the genetic people of the Huaxia lineage, they also need a large number of slaves to open up land for themselves.
That's why Manhattan didn't ban the slave trade.
And even Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law, Black Bear, also bought a lot of black slaves, and bought black slaves with some European businessmen and sent them to the land belonging to Zhao Hongyu, to be responsible for cultivating land and planting crops at the first level.
But if you talk about Zhao Hongyu himself, in fact, he is still not used to such a thing as a slave.
"Wait a minute, your honorable lord will listen to Hai."
The genetics began to want to blow up this guy, and the Turkish businessman hurriedly shouted loudly.
Zhao Hongyu frowned, he felt that this guy was a little annoying.
I didn't want to buy slaves at all. But he still takes the trouble to sell to himself, which is a very annoying thing.
"Why did you recognize us? There are so many businessmen here, as well as the rich. Wouldn't it be nice for you to find them? ”
Without waiting for Zhao Hongyu to speak, Wang Shan spoke to Hai Yi a little impatiently.
"Your Excellency, you don't know what to do. The goods I have on hand are not something that ordinary businessmen can buy. These goods must be strong to be able to buy, I think you are such a strong buyer. ”
Hai Yi said loudly to Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu.
"It's kind of interesting." , Zhao Hongyu glanced at Wang Shan and muttered.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu's eyes, Wang Shan nodded knowingly, and then came to Hai Yi's face.
"Look at your goods first. If I don't like it, then you don't stand in our way. Your Highness, you can't provoke you. ”
Ooh!
Your Highness, this title is not small.
Generally speaking, people who can have such a title are not the king and the crown prince, is it?
Judging from the shred of information revealed in Wang Shan's words, this young man sitting on a horse has a very noble identity.
Hai couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he thought he had made the right bet.
In fact, he saw the extraordinaryness of Zhao Hongyu and his party, so he ran out and blocked the way.
Because he is now at the end of his rope, if these slaves on hand do not get rid of it. He's going to go bankrupt.
Originally, these slaves were predestined by man.
But when he brings the slaves ordered by his client, he finds that his client has been defeated and killed.
This time it's a good thing, these 'goods' in Hay's hand are smashed in his hands.
Originally, it was not impossible to deal with it to other people.
But those who intend to buy. After knowing the situation of Hai, he began to frantically lower the price.
And if it were sold at that price, Hai would have gone bankrupt as well.
So, Hai didn't let those guys get their way. Survived until now.
However, now he can't hold on.
Suddenly, he saw Zhao Hongyu and his party.
Judging by their appearance, presence, and clothing. Hay felt that these people must be very rich.
Moreover, they are bound to be interested in their own goods as well.
Anyway, I'm going to die, so it's better to try my luck.
It was with the support of such a thought that Hai would jump out and perform the previous scene.
Seeing that the other party was a little more interested in his goods, Hay was very excited.
As long as he is not in a hurry to leave, Hay is confident that these people will be interested and eventually buy the 'goods' at hand.
"Please come with me, my goods are still in my mansion, because it is not convenient to show people, so please forgive me."
Hay bowed down respectfully and extended the invitation in the most respectful tone.
Yo ho!
It's quite mysterious.
I don't know what kind of goods Lu Dao is, it's so mysterious.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and didn't care.
"Wang Shan, you take someone to take a look. If the goods are really good, come back and let me know. Of course, you can take care of this for me with full authority, and remember to bring the money. ”
Zhao Hongyu has a lot of money and doesn't care about anything at all.
Wang Shan nodded, then turned to Hai Yi and said, "Let's go, lead the way ahead." ”
The conversation between Wang Shan and Hai was all done by a translator.
After all, Wang Shan doesn't speak Turkish.
He is not like Zhao Hongyu, who has a language plug-in or something.
Fortunately, they found a lot of translators to accompany them at the ports where they docked on the way, otherwise it would have been really inconvenient.
After Wang Shan left with Haiyi, Zhao Hongyu continued to slowly lead the team forward.
When Wang Shan left, Emma and Sara immediately came to Zhao Hongyu's side.
"What was that guy doing?" (To be continued.) )
