Chapter 154: Get Rich Overnight(2/2)

"Bitch!" Liao Xiaoxiao whispered behind Zhao Xing.

Now even Li Zhichun and Wang Zishao showed a look of desire. They asked in unison: "Sodi, do you have female slaves for sale?"

Sodie twisted his body uneasy and replied: "African blacks are of high quality, and such slaves are expensive..."

Zhao Xing glanced at Sodi, his expression a little chilled.

For merchants like Sodi, there is no record of Chinese history, but foreign history records their business behavior. Generally speaking, they sailed to the Arab world with full cargo, and then carried a batch of luxury goods from Arabia to Vietnam. After unloading the goods in Vietnam, they would buy a batch of slaves and local specialties in Saigon, which is what the Chinese call "Kunlun", such as "Kunlun", to travel to China, such as tortoiseshell, ivory, and spices.

Most of the slaves they bought were Malay blacks, and modern archaeology believes that the reason for the demise of the Malay blacks was due to their slave trade that lasted for thousands of years.

In other words, most Arab ships coming to China are slave ships. In history, they still boast about their cleverness: half-ship cargo leaves the port, and they approach some small islands along the way, grab some people and stuff the cabins, and they can exchange for the most precious silk, tea and porcelain in the Song Dynasty...

Steele felt that Zhao Xing looked at him with a bit vicious look. He was confused and ignorant about Zhao Xing's anger, and was still explaining: "Those tall slaves must go deep into the jungle of the 'Buzhou Fuzi Kingdom' (Mozambique), and the jungle cannot see the light of day..."

Perhaps because he felt it was a bit difficult to explain such a complicated thing, Sodi immediately jumped to Latin: "...It is very dangerous for the slave hunting team to go deep into the jungle without seeing the sun. Although the jungle people are simple, they have a poisonous arrow, and the people in the middle will die; they will hide their figures under the leaves and launch an attack at close range...

At such a great price, a ship of such a stubborn slave was transported to Song State, and half of them would die along the way. From a commercial perspective, it would be more than worth the loss to run this transaction - Lord Lord, I think you can understand this principle."

Zhao Xing patted Hu Ji Kasli beside him and said, "Translation for him. Ask him how he escaped the obstacles of the country of garrison?"

Kasli spoke very fast, but the other end of Steele felt incomprehensible: "Dear Lord, although your accent has a strong Arabic flavor, I find that using your Latin is fluent, why can't we talk directly?...What, Miss, I understand! Well, let's continue talking. Please translate:

The country you just asked about - is it that Tamil country? I heard that Sanfuqi is still fighting them. It is said that with the help of a group of mysterious figures, Sanfuqi has created a new fire-breathing ship, which can make a loud thunderous sound, ejecting devil's flames and scorching iron streams.

God bless me, fortunately, I met a kind-hearted person in Saigon. Taking advantage of the battle between the two sides, I luckily broke through the unguarded Sanfoqi Gorge...

Please believe me, my ship does have timber bones (Mogadisihu) and slaves from Buzhou (Mozambique) but they are all for sale now. My ship first arrives in Guangzhou, where I sell half of the cargo. If the remaining cargo is sold properly in Michigan, I will soon return home. Lord Lord, but if you are in desperate need of African black slaves, I can accept the appointment.

Ah, in essence, we are people from a country. Although this is also your motherland, you are still a noble family in our country. I am still happy to meet a lord of our country in this country. I can give you a preferential price, hoping that you can favor my business - a little bit of appropriate favor..."

The officials of the Song Dynasty present were originally surprised that Zhao Xing was proficient in vassal language, but the topic Zhao Xing just raised was too tempting, which completely pulled their attention away. At this moment, they heard Zhao Xing and the other party discussing in a long language that they couldn't understand, and they couldn't help but interrupt. Fan E first asked: "Li Ren, you are proficient in vassal language, why not go to the vassal courtyard? If you have the intention, I will recommend it to the court after returning to the court."

In Fan E's feeling, the prosperity of the capital Bianliang and the foreign land were simply two different worlds. He thought that Zhao Xing would be so happy to have the opportunity to be a small official in Bianliang. But Li Zhichun didn't think so. He smoothed out and said, "I heard that the divorced person had not taken office for a long time, and Su Zizhan's hair was so sad that he was white as a recommendation official. Oh, I heard that Zhang Zihou urged you to take office, right?"

When Fan E heard this, he closed his mouth.
