46, Count, the introduction of slaves needs to be careful
"Introduce black slaves in?" Leo and others looked at each other: "Earl, are you okay? Why do you want to introduce black slaves in?"
Scott answered for granted: "Blacks are obedient, and they are relatively strong and work very vigorously. They are not like white slaves. They are tired before they can do much work. What's even more terrible is that they will cause trouble when they are idle and always revolt at any time. I think you must have never forgotten the historical events of the Spartan slave uprising?"
Scott's choice of black slaves was not a hot brain or a casual choice, but a decision based on historical circumstances and what he knew.
Looking at the three major races in the world, white people have the strongest sense of resistance and uprising. They always run to the streets to march and demonstrate, and even directly take up weapons to oppose the rulers.
The yellow race is next, unless they are forced into desperate situations, they will not easily launch an uprising.
The last one is black slaves. Due to cultural reasons and various reasons, their resistance seems to be stormy, but there is no structure or organization.
To put it bluntly, black slaves are just brute force but not much theory. They only know that they are bloody and stubborn, and they don’t know when to retreat or when to advance. Therefore, compared with the resistance of whites and yellows, black slaves are the easiest to control.
However, before Scott finished speaking, Robertson immediately opposed: "Earl, you must not introduce a large number of black slaves. You may not know yet. According to rumors from the Venetian merchants, Alexandria in the eastern Mediterranean has poured in many black slaves over the years. These black slaves tried their best to combine with the noble ladies and gave birth to many black children. Since these black children have half of the noble blood, they rely on their identities to sabotage Alexandria, raped good women, and snatched shops at will!"
"So, based on the situation in Alexandria, if Norfolk introduces a large number of black slaves, we are afraid that Norfolk will suffer the greatest disaster. At that time, a large number of residents may be blackened. If these black slaves are combined with the nobles, I think Norfolk may be excluded from the Kingdom of England, and you may also be tried and sentenced by the Lancaster family..."
As soon as this said, Scott couldn't help but shudder.
What Robson said makes a lot of sense, because among the three major races, blacks have too strong reproductive ability. As long as they go to a country, a large number of blacks and browns will appear in a region of this country.
As a time traveler, Scott can't forget the experience of France in the 21st century.
France is a typical European country. Walking on the streets of Paris, you can enjoy the romantic atmosphere and exotic style.
But now, walking on the streets of Paris, looking around, a black man will appear almost every few steps. If the map navigation device hadn't told you that this was Paris, you might have felt like you had entered an African country.
There are garbage everywhere, chaotic streets, and riots happen from time to time. In this situation, it is probably difficult for you to connect it with Paris.
In the past, I was enjoying and comfortable walking in Paris, but now I was frightened and terrified walking in Paris.
Recalling the scenes of my previous life, and then thinking that if a large number of black and white children appeared in Norfolk, running all over the ground, haha, the scene would be so beautiful.
I am afraid that at that time, not to mention that the Lancaster nobles would not let him go, even as the ruler here, they might want to find a rope to slap themselves.
Taking a deep breath and calming down his mood, Scott waved his hand and said, "It's not unreasonable for you to say this, so don't introduce black slaves!"
As soon as Scott finished speaking, another young nobleman said: "Earl, black slaves can also be brought in, but the premise is that they must be castrated! They will completely lose their childbirth function, so there will be no trouble! This is how Venice does. Although there are many black slaves in Venice, Venice does not have black children!"
"Yes, yes, he said it well." Robertson quickly added: "Venice has recently introduced a large number of black slaves to work. I have to say that those black slaves work very hard! Moreover, the price of buying them is not too much, so the castrated black slaves are definitely suitable for our Norfolk area!"
Scott nodded when he heard this: "Since that's the case, then do it like this! Don't you know if there is a black slave in Zverev's hands?"
Robertson quickly replied with a smile beside him, "Please rest assured, he has all kinds of slaves in his hands! Even if he doesn't have one at the moment, he can find a way to get it!"
Leo interrupted: "Earl, Norfolk's development cannot be separated from human power. Although black slaves can be introduced at that time, the long-term development of these black slaves in Norfolk will not be of great help. Judging from my ideas, I feel that we should introduce some people who were forced to become slaves in the war to join Norfolk. In this way, not only can the problem of manpower be solved, but also because these slaves have served as soldiers, we can also take the opportunity to replenish our military sources and strengthen our military strength. Of course, there will be no situation similar to that of Alexandria in which black people captured the nobles!"
Scott nodded repeatedly: "You are right, so let's do it. On the one hand, we introduce black slaves and on the other hand, we introduce war slaves. At the same time, our introduction targets can also be expanded to the Netherlands, such as fishermen who live very poor in the Netherlands, and merchants who are oppressed by nobles in the Netherlands. In short, the oppressed people are the targets we introduce!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded quickly.
After pondering for a while, Scott reassigned everyone's work.
Since Galen is too nervous to do things and there are not many twists in his mind, Scott asked him to take over Leo's job and supervise the river excavation project.
Leo was very careful in his work, spoke very well, and had a lot of ink in his mind, so Scott asked him to lead some people to the Netherlands to introduce population.
Robson and other merchant nobles were sent out by Scott to contact Zverev, the largest slave trader in Europe, and then bought the slaves he needed.
As for Scott himself, he personally took charge of Norfolk and led the overall situation in Norfolk. At the same time, he closely monitored the situation in London to prevent the chaos in London from affecting the Norfolk area.
