Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1578, The Feast of Slave Merchants

With the arrival of the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, the camp of the slave traders suddenly became very lively.

There were fellows who knew Turkic and Arabic standing at the gate of the camp. When these Ottoman soldiers came, they immediately went up to talk to them.

"This warrior of the Ottoman Empire, we belong to the Black Sea Trading Company, please sell these slaves to us, the price is fair, and you are satisfied with the custody."

Hong Yang is short in stature, but he is quick-witted and clever. He can speak Turkic and Arabic in no time.

He saw a group of tall and burly people with blood on their bodies, and the murderous Ottoman soldiers not only did not have the slightest fear, but also felt very kind, and stepped forward to shout.

Gelu looked at Hong Yang in front of him, these Daming people are really like vultures, as long as they are rich, they are absolutely indispensable. If ordinary people see him, they will probably be scared to death. There was still minced meat on the knife. After a killing, the whole person was full of murderous looks, and the eyes were enough to make ordinary people shy away.

"Our team has captured more than 200 slaves in total, can you eat them all in one bite?"

Naturally, Gelu came to sell slaves. These Daming people had an excellent reputation, and the prices they offered were fair. The key was that after selling the slaves, they could still buy some things they needed from the Daming people.

Weapons, armor, medicines, and even the Ming people have doctors here, whose skills are far superior to those of the Ottoman Empire. You can come to the Ming people for treatment for knife wounds, arrow wounds, etc. Although the price is expensive, the medical skills are real Needless to say, many people who were destined to die were brought back to life by the people of Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, yes~Of course I can, come, come~"

Naturally, Hong Yang readily agreed, and hurriedly took this thick-skinned Gelu to the camp of his Black Sea Trading Company.

As soon as they arrived at the camp, the slaves trained by the firm immediately brought tables and chairs, and there were plenty of tea, wine, and food.

"Generals, please sit down, please sit down~"

"Everyone, please feel free to drink tea if you like, drink if you want, and eat whatever you want."

Hong Yang warmly entertained Hong Yang and the others, which made Gelu and the others smile even more with satisfaction.

The people of Daming are very nice. They are honest and fair in doing business. The key is that every time you come to Daming people, you will receive a warm welcome. The tea, wine and food of Daming people are always unforgettable.

"You have more than 200 slaves, and there are 120 adult men. Our trading company can give you 18 taels of silver each. As for these women, basically they have given birth to children, and many of them are darker. They cannot be sold in our Ming Dynasty. What a good price, I will give you 16 taels of silver each."

"These children are all burdens, but our Black Sea Trading Company has always treated friends sincerely. I am willing to pay 5 taels of silver for each."

"All in all, I won't talk about those fake things, 4000 taels of silver, what do you think?"

Hong Yang took out a pen and paper, made a quick calculation, and gave a price of 4000 taels of silver.

"4000 taels of silver?"

When Gelu and the others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They discussed with each other in the language of their hometown, and in the end the deal was a happy one.

Soon, a small box was taken out by Hong Yang, which was filled with wrapped silver dollars.

"Generals, please check~"

When Gelu and the others saw the small box, their eyes lit up, and they vigorously moved the packets of silver dollars away, revealing pieces of shiny silver dollars.

This kind of silver dollar from Ming Dynasty has now become a hard currency. Everyone likes it. It is exquisitely made, full of silver content, and it is very convenient to distinguish the real from the fake.

Gelu and the others took the white silver dollars, blew them lightly, and put them to their ears. The crisp sound made people intoxicated, and there was no mistake in the number of silver dollars.

Immediately he was all smiles.

This deal is really cool.

It is very easy to attack Damascus. If you capture slaves and drag them outside the city, you can sell them for money.

After calculating today's harvest, after the selection, almost everyone in my team can get dozens of silver dollars.

This is the silver dollar of the Ming Dynasty, which is very valuable, but it is not the silver dollar of the Ottoman Empire.

This silver dollar contains a lot of silver, and its purchasing power is amazing. Dozens of silver dollars are enough for them to live a good happy life for a few years after they return to their hometown.

However, this is only part of the benefits of the first battle in Damascus.

They also confiscated a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the city. In fact, this part can also be dealt with by the Daming people and exchanged for white silver. However, they are not in a hurry, and they will deal with it in a centralized manner later when there is more.

This battle was full of profits, and these soldiers of the Ottoman Empire naturally smiled and were very happy.

"Warriors of the Ottoman Empire, I don't know if you need anything."

"Our Black Sea Trading Company has everything here. All kinds of medicines, bows and arrows, knives and guns, maces, stirrups, saddles, and military rations are all high-quality goods, and the prices are also very fair and cheap. Check it out, there are discounts for large quantities.”

Hongyang received more than 200 slaves, and they were also very happy from ear to ear.

These slaves were also already loading the carts, and the four-wheeled carriages were filled with slaves, and they immediately headed to the seaside of the Mediterranean Sea, which was not far from the seaside.

There are slave ships waiting here by the sea. As soon as they are full, they can be started immediately, and they can be transported directly to the vassal states and colonies in the Indian Ocean through the Egyptian Canal, or to the Southeast Asia.

As for those female slaves, they will be transported to the Black Sea and arrive here in Nanyun Province. The female slaves will be properly raised first, and at the same time, they will be undergoing some training to learn the language of Ming Dynasty and some basic characters, and then educate them. After grinding away their wildness, they can be sold for a good price when they are transported to Daming and kept in storage, and they can be doubled at will.

Children need to be raised well, and the boys will be sold as slaves when they grow up, and the few smart and clever ones will be kept in the trading company as slaves.

Anyway, slaves don't need wages, and they are the cheapest labor force. There are many places where manpower is needed in commercial firms, and grooms, coolies, etc. are mostly places where labor is needed.

As for the girls, they should be screened out first. If they have good looks, they should naturally be cultivated well. There must be a lot of things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Ming etiquette. A good price of thousands of taels of silver.

Those with poor looks and dark skin can be cultivated casually, and when they are a little older, they can be sold to the rich families of Daming to be used as maids and the like.

These more than 200 slaves, if the trading company changes hands, they will earn thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After buying slaves, of course, these rich Ottoman soldiers could not go back empty-handed, and the goods brought by the trading company had to be sold.

Weapons, armor, medicine, bows and arrows, etc., these are very profitable businesses, and the profits are even more amazing, and these things are just needed for these soldiers of the Ottoman Empire.

Combat on the battlefield is impossible without these things. The things distributed by the Ottoman Empire are not as sophisticated as the Ming people, especially the medicines.

The medical skills of Daming people are extremely exquisite and advanced, especially the many medicines produced by the pharmaceutical firm affiliated to Daming Medical College, which are sold well all over the world.

Relying on the traditional Da Ming pharmaceutical technology combined with many newly researched technologies and therapeutic drugs, the medicines produced are of good quality and good effect. They are not only sold well in Da Ming, but also exported to all over the world.

Under Hong Yang's enthusiastic sales promotion, these soldiers of the Ottoman Empire also took out the silver dollars in their pockets and made a big purchase.

He just took the silver in his pocket, and before he warmed it up, he turned his head and returned it to the hands of the Black Sea Trading Company.

"Brother Gru, welcome to come again next time. We will always follow your army. If you have any good goods, you must take care of me, brother. I will definitely give you the best price. Tell me what you need. As long as I can Get it all for you."

Outside the camp of the slave traders, Hong Yang enthusiastically sent Gelu and the others to the gate, and he did not forget to give some instructions before leaving.

"No problem, no problem~"

Gru and the others walked back with a lot of goods while holding the silver.

These Daming people are really enough friends, and they also send food and drinks. After this battle, they not only earned money, but also got everything else. They even bought things from Daming people. They sent them to their homes.

In the entire slave traders camp, scenes like this are constantly being staged. The slave traders seem to be sharks smelling of blood, and they are desperately grabbing the slaves pulled out of Damascus.

Around the slave trade, their business is doing extremely well.

At the same time, here in the slave camp, one after another four-wheeled carriages are walking towards the sea, full of slaves, they are confused, full of fear of the future, struggle and fear of unknown fate, and at the same time looking forward to that the Egyptian army could rescue them.

It's just that they found out sadly that even if they encountered the Egyptian army along the way, no one rescued them. Who would dare to mess with the slave caravan of the Ming people?
