The installment payment model has already appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it is the same logic as borrowing.

Emperor Shizu did not specifically promote it, so many traditional scholars did not want to see this business model, believing that it was commonly known as the method of eating grain.

It will only be used when it is really forced to do so.

At present, the court of the vassal state is dominant, not a private loan, not for the acquisition of any theory.

It's still a big thing like a bachelor asking for a woman, so it can be used as a matter of course, so no official came out to oppose it.

The book understood Zhu Jingyuan's meaning, and immediately went to inform and arrange relevant matters.

At the same time, the docks of Quicksand City are also busy, and the orchid white slaves brought from the old home of the Barbary pirates are disembarking.

More than a hundred soldiers maintained order around, and dozens of Ming women helped check the status of the orchid.

These women are all from immigrant families in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all relatively outgoing, able to speak, or can write a few words.

Now that there are not enough officials in the kingdom, these women are often recruited to do odd jobs.

They shouted for the orchids to march out in a procession, each holding a box of cotton swabs and checking the orchids' ears one by one.

If the cotton swab sticks out of dry debris, it is registered as "dry ears", indicating that the person will not have body odor.

If it is oily yellow mucus, it is registered as "oily ears", which indicates that you will have body odor.

Sweat glands in other parts of the body are also able to secrete similar "oils", which contain proteins and fatty acids.

Actually, these things don't smell in themselves, but there are bacteria on the surface of the human body, and they will break down these things.

After sweating and waiting, your body will smell rotten and sour as if it has been fermented.

People in different regions have slightly different body odors because of the different flora in the living environment.

Since the smell is caused by the decomposition of secretions by bacteria, the obvious logic is that the dirtier and more bacteria live around the secretions, that is, on the surface of the body, the more obvious the fermentation effect will be, and the stronger the taste.

In this era, the cleanliness of a person's body is directly related to one's standard of living.

If you can take a shower before going out in the morning, do not participate in physical labor, and do not sweat easily, then the performance of body odor will not be too bad.

If you combine it with the right perfume and medicine, it can have the effect of making people mistakenly think that there is no smell.

On the other hand, if you are the most ordinary worker, the living environment is already harsh, and you don't have the opportunity to take a bath every day, you may ferment repeatedly.

The effect is imaginable.

Therefore, in the slave market, the price of the same slave, whether there is a taste on the body or not, is directly at least one-third to one-double.

Therefore, ear cleaning to check whether there are oily ears has become the most important part of the examination of slaves.

The slaves who had been sold had long been accustomed to it, and they were very honest and cooperated with the inspection.

Of course, this examination was mainly aimed at the Hu and Tessi groups.

Mo people don't need to be measured, and they can't find a single dry ear out of hundreds, and they may be able to find one or two out of thousands of people.

Moreover, the price of Moren slaves cannot be sold at a price, and the price of a tasteless individual selected from a thousand miles is often not as good as that of the most ordinary orchid.

Even if the price is one-third higher than that of ordinary ink slaves, there is no point in the base being too low, and it is a waste of energy to scrutinize carefully.

The proportion of dry ears in each ethnic group of Tessie is about 2 to 10 percent.

For Egyptians and Persians, the proportion of dry ears is probably between 10 and 20 percent.

The white slaves captured and raised by the Barbary pirates are mainly ethnic groups around the Mediterranean, and the overall tasteless rate is about 10%.

One odorless one can be produced out of ten, and the price of odorless individuals can be doubled, so it is still necessary to check them in turn.

Dry ears are taken away individually, grouped separately managed, and one of the other oily ear individuals

from management.

This is only the first test, followed by a doctor's examination for common diseases.

They are then sent for disinfection, bathing, and three days of observation after changing clothes before they are distributed to single workers.

The doctors and women were busy with their work, and suddenly the news came from the dock dispatch office:

Tianzhu's slave ship was about to dock, and the other party reported that it was a 6,000-ton Xihai Canal-type passenger ship, with 3,000 Tianzhu female slaves.

The news shocked the doctors, sentinel captains, and officials at the scene.

Originally, it was thought that they should arrive in two or three days, and there was a high probability that they would use an offshore passenger liner of one or two thousand tons, usually only a few hundred to a thousand people.

Because since the beginning of the year, the Ming court has begun to tighten the slave trade policy under the influence of Zhu Jingyuan.

Ming merchants were less and less involved in the slave trade, and instead invested in the more promising transport of migrants.

Most of those who were still engaged in the slave trade were old ships and small boats, as well as ships that were not suitable for the sea.

Now the gang of slave traders has assembled a 6,000-ton ship, which is completely unexpected by the people involved.

The sentinels who maintained order on the scene immediately detached themselves and arranged a flag to control the designated stops.

The women who helped had no place to move, because the situation of the slave traders was obviously abnormal, and the palace must have arranged for more people to help.

The relevant news was also immediately reported to the book and the long history, and it was also sent to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the news and was obviously taken aback:

"Did these slave traders just get a new big ship? And do you know that we have three thousand single workers here?"

The book was rather blank and said:

"The slave traders are all private traders, and it is possible that their business plans have changed, or they have new shareholders.

"It's no secret that there are 3,000 single workers here, and the workers often laugh at themselves for being one of the 3,000."

The royal consortium has a lot of industries, involving almost all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, and the industries that are not involved at all are very limited.

One of the most typical industries is the slave trade.

The Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the slave trade before, but it was also a state of discouragement, and the royal consortium and the imperial court did not operate it.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a few seconds and made a decision:

"Send more guards over to maintain order, and invite more Ming immigrant women to help check on the slave girls.

"Don't let the slave girls disembark directly, bring the head of the slave trader to me first."

The pawn immediately agreed, and immediately went to the dock with the guards.

Twenty kilometers away from Quicksand City, a 6,000-ton passenger ship was heading for the port at a speed of fifteen knots.

On the bow deck were two groups of sailors, separated by a few meters in two rows.

The group on the left is mostly Ming, with a small number of Japanese and Koreans in between.

The group on the right is clearly all Tessie.

In front of the two groups of sailors, there were two men who were obviously leaders, also a Ming man and a Taixi man.

The two were chatting at a distance of two meters from each other.

Gu Rui, a Ming slave trader, was now in a rather high-spirited mood, and said to the Taixi man two meters away:

"As long as this deal can be completed, we will find a good way to make a fortune.

"Da Ming will definitely continue to immigrate around the Great Food Country in the future, and there must be a large number of bachelors among the immigrants.

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty are particularly fond of finding women for bachelors, so there is no need to worry about this market.

"Tianzhu who has just finished the war has a lot of women, and you British people who transport Tianzhu to Mozhou are mainly middle-aged men, and women are even more worthless, so they can be sold here.

"It's inconvenient for you Britons to go to the Great Food Country, and it's not convenient for us to go to Nantianzhu in the UK, so it's just right for the two of us to cooperate.

"In the future, we will use two identical ships, your people will go to Nantianzhu to pick up the goods, and my people will go to the Great Food Country to deliver the goods.

"Each round is one in the Little West

The second ship, after that, there is a steady stream of money.

"The total is less than 3,000 kilometers, and one trip takes only five or six days......

The English slave trader Lufrey looked slightly uneasy:

"As long as this trade can be done, it will definitely have a future, I'm just worried about the attitude of the Great Food King.

"If we are so united, will we inexplicably anger the Prince of Great Food, and then dispose of us Xiyi ......?"

Gu Rui sneered and said:

"Worried you're still coming along? The point is that they all stink like salted fish.

"We Ming people are stuffy on the ship for three months, and they are not as smelly as you are for three days.

"Let you wait in the open seas and still not listen to me? It's too late to regret it now!

"When we get to the Great Food Country, someone will castrate you with a click!"

Lu Frei was slightly embarrassed by Gu Rui's ridicule, but his original apprehension weakened:

"I don't come along, I don't know if this deal will be successful, I don't know how much you sold it.

"Don't worry, I'll come along, and I won't come with me in the future.

"It's just that if you want to make money, you have to continue to endure this stench.

"Even if we don't follow you, our ship will definitely have a taste.

"Those orchids also smell in them, and you'll get used to them after a long time.

"Who made us barbarians, satisfaction is stinking......

Gu Rui directly waved his hand and scolded with a smile:

", say you're fat and you're panting."

An hour later, Gu Rui and Lufrey's boat docked at the dock of Quicksand City.

A group of guards had already scattered around to control the scene, and ten guards ran quickly to the side of the ship and watched the passenger ship lower the gangway.

Then two soldiers shouted loudly below:

"Let the owner or the boss come down! Our king wants to see them! The others are not allowed to stay on the boat!"

Gu Rui and Lu Frei were on the bow of the boat, and when they heard the greeting, they immediately ran down the gangway quickly.

All the way, I was nervous, and I was excited and curious to follow the guards out.

Then they saw three other ships not far away, three passenger ships of about six thousand tons, the same.

There is no problem with the appearance of passenger ships on the dock, the problem is that there are orchids disembarking on the ship now, and there are Ming women checking below.

In the open space below the three ships, rows of orchids were already standing, waiting for the follow-up arrangement.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the two slave traders suddenly turned cold.

They couldn't imagine that the three 6,000-ton ships of the Ming Dynasty only transported more than 1,200 people.

The ship basically arranged rooms for the female slaves according to the standards of normal passengers, and prepared sufficient life-saving facilities.

Instead of the two slave traders, a six-thousand-ton ship with more than 3,000 people on board felt a little empty.

If it weren't for the three thousand singles on Daming's side, they might have stuffed more female slaves in.

Now, the two slave traders looked at each other with sad expressions, and the same thought rose in their hearts:

"Someone got ahead of the game!"

"!"
