Black slavery was very popular in the Song Empire, but anyone who had two dollars would buy a few to go home as servants, or bring them back to reclaim the land.

Among them, especially those farmers of Chinese descent who have divided the land, the largest number of purchases.

It even led to a situation where the supply of black slaves exceeded demand.

The main reason for this situation is the shortage of labor due to the insufficient number of people.

Moreover, Zhao Hongyu and the others did not come up with mechanized farming equipment, so farming requires a lot of labor to fill it.

In Wang Shan's opinion, it is more convenient to buy black slaves.

Buying servants from the Ming Dynasty costs the same amount, but it is relatively more troublesome.

So, how could Master Wang think of getting servants from the Ming Dynasty?

Faced with Wang Shan's doubts, Wang Fuzi explained with a smile.

Among them, the price of black slaves, as well as the price of the servants and maids of the Ming Dynasty, is a comparison.

Wang Shan still doesn't understand the truth.

My God, I can't imagine that in the Ming Dynasty, the price of a living person is so cheap.

Is this still human?

It's not even as good as a beast.

After listening to Master Wang's story, Wang Shanmeng said in a stunned voice.

Wang Fuzi nodded: "But isn't it, it's true that it's not as good as a beast." A big fat pig can still be sold for a few taels of silver, but a living person is not as good as a pig, and it is true that human life is not as good as an animal. ”

Echoing Wang Shan, Wang Fuzi also complained.

"How so?"

Wang Shan asked knowingly.

As for the form of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, Professor Liu has analyzed them.

Although the old guy is old, he knows more about history than a few young people.

Today's Ming Dynasty is in the period of the Xiaoice River.

All kinds of natural disasters appeared frequently, making the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable one after another.

Droughts, floods, and even locust plagues are natural disasters.

Meantime. Coupled with the presence of the major aristocrats and landlords, land annexation also intensified.

This made the already miserable people even more miserable.

In the eyes of those old nobles, those mud-legged people were not people, they were actually animals walking upright.

Who cares if they live or die.

In order to survive, the peasants sold their sons and daughters, and even left their homes.

All I want is a way to live.

For this reason, it is normal to sell yourself as a slave, and it is not very surprising in the Ming Dynasty.

But where is a large city. You can see people who are kneeling on the road, planting straw and selling themselves.

At least, in the eyes of those who can't survive, selling themselves as slaves to others can at least have something to eat, and although they may not be able to eat enough, they will not starve to death.

There are many such people, and it is not easy for everyone to sell themselves at a high price.

The competition is too fierce, isn't it.

In this way, one by one, they are eager to sell themselves at a lower price, and selling them is a way to live.

What's more, the number of people who sold themselves into slavery was huge.

In a word. The price is very low.

Some people don't even want money, they just need to eat two meals a day and they can follow.

For such a situation, it is funny but also sad.

It can be seen from this that the Ming Dynasty has now reached a certain point.

But that's it. Those talented men are still talking about the wind and the moon one by one, opening their mouths and closing their mouths about national affairs, but for everything that happens around them and in front of them. But they all turned a blind eye one by one.

This is really a true portrayal of 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'.

Although the emperor also wanted to give relief to the victims, he often allocated two taels of relief silver. Before it could be used on the heads of those victims, they were almost corrupted by the officials of the country who were compassionate and silent.

Most of the time, one or two taels of silver are used on the victims, and it is only a few copper plates.

This money is of a fart use.

If it weren't for the need to deal with the handover, it would not have been possible to fall on the heads of the victims.

This is the official of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty officials of this era who left their names in the history books, although the history books say that they are all two-sleeved and clean, but take a closer look at which one is not the magnificent family.

Hai Jui is a special case, this guy wants fame.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all like this, either asking for money or fame, of course, there were even more shameless fame and fortune.

It can be said that the wonders are all in the Ming Dynasty.

For these things, how could the old man Professor Liu not know the way.

Therefore, when he proposed the immigration of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Professor Liu told Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu about it.

Based on this premise, Professor Liu feels that it is very important to deal with those officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Aren't they greedy for money, just smash it with money.

Moreover, the emperor is also short of money at this time, so he can also use money to smash it.

From the emperor to the officials, as long as they are knocked down with money, there will be absolutely no obstacles to immigration.

Therefore, it is absolutely possible to immigrate those displaced people of the Ming Dynasty enough.

Besides, instead of starving to death in the Ming Dynasty, it is better to come to the Americas to give them a way to live, which is also a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good.

It was with this that Professor Liu persuaded Zhao Hongyu and them.

Now, Wang Shan is pretending to be stupid.

Seeing Wang Shan with a puzzled face, Wang Fuzi thought of these people from the Zhao and Song dynasties, who must have never been to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is normal to not know what is happening on the other side of the road, as well as all kinds of corruption.

This explained to Wang Shan.

Wang Fuzi was talking to Wang Shan here, and Liu Da Scar and the other people began to go crazy on the land that had already demarcated the boundary of their own.

They kept shouting and muttering in their own land, or muttering to themselves with tears streaming down their faces.

It can be seen that owning your own land is an exciting thing.

For the Ming people of this era, their mentality is difficult for people to understand.

They looked at the people who were screaming and going crazy, and they just complained in their hearts that these guys were 'turtles'.

"Last year, there were two floods, a drought in the northwest, and a drought locust at the beginning of the year. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty was empty, and the emperor could not take out the silver to relieve the victims, so many of the victims left their hometowns to find a way to live. Because there are too many victims, there are many people who sell their bodies, and everyone hopes that they can sell themselves smoothly, so the prices are lower than the other, in order to sell themselves smoothly. ”

When Mr. Wang talked about this, his tone was very embarrassed.

Thirty years ago, he had done something like this, and if he hadn't joined the pirates, he would have been a slave to someone else's house by now.

As for the fate of being a slave, it is not necessarily very good.

Well done can survive. If you don't do it well, it's possible to be killed.

may be because he thought of himself thirty years ago, Wang Fuzi's eyes were a little confused, and his tone became embarrassed.

Wang Shan did not open his mouth to remind Wang Fuzi to continue, but waited patiently for him to continue.

"Compared with each other, there are even people who don't want money, all they want is two meals a day. Having enough to eat is already a luxury, so as long as they can stutter, they are willing to be slaves. ”

After recovering his thoughts, Wang Fuzi continued.

"In this case, I plan to go back and take out all the money I put in Daming. I bought food and then bought some people, and I couldn't do it myself. ", Master Wang smiled embarrassedly. With 200 acres of land, I must not be busy alone. ”

Wang Shan nodded. What Master Wang said was the truth, and at the same time, it could be seen that he was thinking very carefully.

It is true that each of them now has 200 acres of land, but the next clearing is a big problem.

These things. It was impossible for Wang Shan to help them do it, so they had to rely on themselves.

And 200 acres of land, they alone will definitely not be able to do it. Then the boss will definitely not be able to reclaim a piece of land in a short time, so it is particularly necessary to return to Daming to recruit some people.

"I'm doing a good deed, I plan to buy all the money for some maids and servants, and then I will buy all the food, after all, I still have to eat and drink here."

At this time, Wang Shan spoke: "Yes, you are very thoughtful. ”

Master Wang arched his hand: "There are too many people who sell their bodies in the Ming Dynasty, and the princes and masters will not take care of them, so it is better to become my domestic servant, and come here with me to have a way to live, otherwise it will be a death to stay." ”

Wang Shan thought about it and felt that what Master Wang wanted to do was actually beneficial to the empire.

As Master Wang said, those who couldn't live happily in the Ming Dynasty could be regarded as having a way to live if they became his servants, so that they would not starve to death there.

Although he was uprooted from his homeland, he was able to survive.

Moreover, this can be regarded as a disguised drive to drive population immigration.

Of course, there are some hidden dangers in this approach.

The king, the prince, and they returned with a great crowd of servants, who confessed only to them as Lord.

And there must be quite a few servants who can be brought back by more than a hundred people.

Therefore, these people are potential safety hazards and have to be guarded against.

Thinking of this, Wang Shan said: "Those servants signed a deed of sale in the Ming Dynasty, and after this is here, the contract of the Ming Dynasty will be invalid and will be invalidated, so you have to trouble a little bit, and I will re-apply for the paperwork here." ”

Wang Fuzi clenched his fists and said repeatedly: "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, Xiao Lao'er will definitely abide by the rules and regulations of the empire, and he will definitely not violate it." ”

Wang Shan nodded: "In the future, you will also become a master, so you have to watch the servant, as long as you are honest in the empire, you don't have to worry about other things, you can enjoy a happy and warm life, and live a prosperous life." But if you break the rules of the Empire, no one will be able to save you. ”

Wang Fuzi nodded again and again, indicating that he knew what he had said.

Wang Shan looked at Master Wang, thinking if he wanted to say something more clearly?

After all, if this problem is not clarified, it will be troublesome for them to have some ambitions in the future. (To be continued......)
