Chapter 142: Trade

Port of Dar es Salaam.

Slave trading market.

"I'll leave the natives to you, Mr. Abragg. Happy to work with. "The staff transferred a group of slaves to the Zanzibar slave traders.

"Good luck, of course, my friend." Abragg said.

He then ordered his men to chain the natives, and another army of slaves left East Africa.

Aprague was a long-time partner of the East African colonies, and his father was a minister of the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

The long procession, under the supervision of the thugs, slowly walked towards the dock.

"Livestock! Don't look back, you won't be able to go back from this day onwards! Die of this heart. ”

The Zanzibaris are psychologically attacking these natives in Kiswahili.

It was used to dispel the last hope in the hearts of these slaves, which was a procedure in the slave trade.

Becoming slaves is not terrible for blacks, because they themselves are in the tribal era, and the indigenous people of the African continent are fighting each other, and it is normal for the losers to become slaves.

In the tribal era, each tribe would capture people from rival tribes, turn them into slaves, or be captured by rival tribes and become slaves.

In other words, slavery is commonplace on the African continent, so the natives don't panic too much when they become slaves, because that's how their worldview is that the loser becomes a slave.

And being a slave in the East African colonies turned out to be not bad in the eyes of some natives!

This is not nonsense, under the training of the work in the East African colonies, in fact, these indigenous slaves are quite satisfied, although they are tired every day, but the food source is stable every day.

And these natives, when they were in the tribe before, knew how their tribe treated slaves, and it was commonplace to beat and scold, and it was sparse and common to engage in heavy manual labor, and it was not surprising that they lacked arms and legs, and the tribe was short of food......

Compared with the methods of their own tribes, the actions of the East African colonies are simply living Buddhas.

So the natives were not too afraid of becoming slaves, but they were afraid of the ships on the sea.

Because they also know that if they get on the big ship, they will leave this land forever, and they may not be able to come back for the rest of their lives!

Experienced Zanzibar slave traders naturally had to dispel the "homesickness" of the natives, otherwise, these aboriginal slaves would be prone to riots after boarding the ship.

There is no more convenient and effective way to distract these natives than by scolding.

The Zanzibaris methods worked, and the slaves' attention was quickly distracted by whipping and swearing, which, combined with the training of the previous East African colonies, soon became honest.

"Keep the goods separate from these slaves, don't let these natives get in trouble, and put them on a high place so that they don't get wet! If Uncle Ben's goods suffer a little loss, you will be good-looking. Abragg said to his men.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate said respectfully.

Now more and more slave traders began to use the method of mixing people and goods, pulling slaves and goods to the Middle East to sell.

In the past two years, the limelight has become tighter and tighter, the slave trade has become more and more difficult, and for the Zanzibarians, those Europeans are really dogs and rats, nosy.

You were the happiest in buying and selling slaves back then, and now when you get rich, you come over and smash everyone's eating pot!

The Zanzibarians and Arabs are talking about the British and French countries, and the slavery that is now prevalent has already had ships seized.

If the Europeans were really so kind, Abrague ate upside down*, as a perennial person who mixed the sea, Aprague knew that in this era, all the people who were mixed on the sea were living Hades, and without a good thing, the Virgin would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

These European grandsons, now that they don't need slaves, have begun to pretend to be virgins and play moral kidnapping, which is really disgusting.

People who are influenced by Arab culture, they are the ones who have dealt with the West the most, and the two religions have been fighting for thousands of years, who doesn't understand whom?

It is only now that the Arabs have fallen, and these Europeans dare to stand on their heads and pull *.

The situation is stronger than people, the Arabs are really not good, they have no strength, they naturally have no confidence, but the Zanzibaris and other Arab businessmen will naturally not sit still, they have also begun to transform and upgrade, of course, it is impossible to give up the cake of the slave trade.

Illegal slave ships were turned into labor import ships after some packaging, and slaves became legally recruited workers.

And in order to prevent the Europeans from holding on, the slave traders would also reduce the number of slaves on board, so that there would be no overload, at least not from the outside.

However, in order to earn more, many merchants began to use the space where slaves were originally transported and loaded with goods.

This is also due to the influence of the East African colonies, and the Black Singen consortium sent goods to the Arab region, mostly through the Mediterranean, from factories in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through ports around the Adriatic Sea, to Ottoman and other countries. But there will also be a portion of the flow to East Africa.

These industrial goods, for the Zanzibaris, are very valuable, and the most important thing is that they do not have to pay! Of course, goods from East Africa are also clearly priced, but women can be used as collateral.

Except for blacks, you have to do everything, as long as you are not too old, then this is easy to do, anyway, Zanzibaris do not run the route to the Middle East alone, they also go to India and Southeast Asia.

In this era, the people at the bottom of the colonized areas are really poor, and they have been oppressed by the local magnates, but now the colonizers are coming, and there are another group of vampires.

Southeast Asia is the Netherlands, the Portuguese have developed a colony for two or three hundred years, why Southeast Asia can become a high-quality colony, that is, the local population is large, the development is early, after all, there is also a civilization, unlike Africa and the Americas, before the Europeans went, the Indians in the Americas were still playing with stones, Africa......

Moreover, many of the island countries in Southeast Asia, especially those island countries in the south, are Arab countries (Indonesia), and it is natural for Arab merchants to trade and trade there.

In this way, the channels of the Zanzibaris are very diverse, as long as the local nobles are bought, they basically have how much they can pull and how much they can pull, anyway, there is no human rights in the colonies.

Many of these aristocrats were agents of European colonizers, and European countries could not do without their help in colonizing the local area, mainly to rule and suppress the lower classes, so don't expect them to have any discipline in front of interests.

And it just so happens that as the local head snake, they do all kinds of evil, and there are few people at the bottom of the colony who can eat well, and the economic conditions at the bottom are naturally very poor.

When the bottom is too happy to live, but there is still a breath left, they will be afraid, because the colonists and local nobles can really decide life and death, but none of them want to be the first bird, because they are very "alive" now.

In order to survive, no ethics or good quality can be compared to a meal, so Zanzibar merchants often buy people from these regions with one or two meals.

Anyway, the merchant made the difference, and in the end the money was paid by the East African colonies.
