Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 749, Koreans and Japanese going south
"Haha~"

The people around immediately laughed happily.

"Not much nonsense, the auction starts at 25 taels of silver, and the highest bidder wins."

The slave trader smiled, and started quoting directly.

"25 taels, buy it back and play for a few days to try something new~"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately made an offer.

"30 taels, this white slave is tall, and he can work after buying it back."

"35 taels~"

"36 taels~"

Quotations sounded continuously, and in a blink of an eye, the price reached a high price of more than 40 taels of silver.

In the slave market, male slaves are generally more valuable than female slaves, because male slaves are strong and can work, while female slaves are weaker and can do less work.

"Forty-six taels of silver, is there more?"

The slave trader was all smiles. This slave trade was really profitable. He bought it from the Western United Commercial Bank at a price of twenty taels of silver.

"I pay fifty taels~"

At this time, a weak voice sounded, and everyone looked over quickly, and then couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Wang Laizi, are you going to buy it back to carry on the family?"

"It must be. He is an old bachelor in his thirties. If he doesn't get a woman back, he might not be able to give birth in the future."

"Buy a slave and go back to give birth to a child. Is the child born a little slave?"

"Don't buy slaves, do you think someone will marry him?"

Hearing everyone's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but look over. This man named Wang Mangzi was short and short. The key was that he had a mangled face on his face, which was extremely ugly.

"The rise of the slave trade can solve the problems of many old bachelors in Ming Dynasty."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile, this is a good thing.

Anyway, at least it seemed to Daming.

"Go, go~"

"Whatever your business~"

"I am from Daming, so my son is also from Daming. This woman is not bad, and she is tall. She will definitely give me a fat boy."

Wang Mangzi glared fiercely at the people around him, staring at the slave with a fiery gleam in his eyes.

Before he moved out, he was really poor and ugly, and no ghost would marry him. After moving to Nanyang Province, he not only had his own field, but now he also saved a sum of money to buy a The slave went back to warm his bed and give birth to his own child.

This was something he had never dared to think about before.

The more he looked at this slave, the more beautiful he felt, with fair skin, a graceful figure, a straight nose, and a tall figure, he would definitely be able to give birth to a fat boy for himself.

"Fifty taels! Fifty taels~"

"Is there any price increase?"

When the slave merchant saw it, his smile became even brighter. Fifty taels of silver, this price is already very high.

"Forget it~"

"They're all from Ming Dynasty, so just give the fifty taels to Wang Manizi."

"Yes, yes~ Let it go to him, anyway, there will be more~"

"Wang Laizi, after giving birth to a son, remember to treat everyone to a wedding wine~"

Everyone shook their heads. The price of fifty taels of silver was already very high. There was no need to add it for a slave. What's more, there were many slaves around, and there were many better things.

"Fifty taels, a deal!"

Seeing that no one bid, the slave merchant also smiled and made a decision.

Wang Laizi took out a few banknotes from the First Bank of Daming from his pocket and gave them to the slave trader, and then led the slave directly to Wang's home.

"woooo~"

Seeing Wang Manzi's appearance, the slave couldn't help crying. She was originally the daughter of a Middle Eastern businessman on the island of Ceylon. This person's appearance is really too ugly, if she looks a little better, she won't be able to cry.

However, it was useless for her to cry. In Nanyang, Daming had extremely strict management over slaves. Any slave who left the manor or plantation without the company of his master would be executed directly if found.

If a slave owner is killed by a slave, then all the slaves will also be executed.

Of course, such things rarely happen.

People in Daming pay attention to their conscience. Although they are slaves, they treat most of them well. They are well fed and warmly dressed. As long as slaves work, they are rarely even beaten.

Many slaves themselves were poor people, and many times they didn't even have enough to eat. When they became slaves in Daming, it was very good to be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes.

Some kind-hearted slave owners bought the whole family of slaves when buying slaves, and reunited the whole family of slaves. Therefore, most of the slaves were obedient and worked honestly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Jin shook his head slightly.

Although I sympathize with what happened to these people, it is all led by me, and everything is for Da Ming. In this era, even if Da Ming does not do this, Europeans will soon do so.

It is better to fall into the hands of the Ming people than to fall into the hands of the Europeans.

The auction of slaves was still very hot, and the plantation owners waved the silver tickets in their hands to snatch slaves one by one.

Liu Jin watched very casually. The slave traders in Ming Dynasty divided the slaves into white slaves and black slaves. Black slaves were different from the black slaves traded by Europeans in history.

The black slaves trafficked by Europeans are blacks from Africa, and the black slaves in the population of Ming Dynasty refer to people with black hair. The aborigines in Nanyang and Ceylon are basically very black in appearance. And short, so Ming people call it black slaves.

The white slaves are the Middle Easterners, Persians and high-caste Aryans captured on the island of Ceylon. These people are of ordinary skin and tall, and the current number is relatively small. Only the island of Ceylon has tens of thousands of white slaves. It was trafficked to Nanyang.

"Japanese and Korean?"

Walking around, Liu Jin soon came to a place where many Japanese and Koreans gathered together. These people were carrying their burdens and dragging their families, and they were looking around with curious eyes. Everything, they are different from those slaves.

They were not wearing shackles, bracelets, or branded slaves. They were free people, and they were all migrant workers in Nanyang.

The rise of Nanyang plantations requires a lot of labor, which naturally gave birth to the Japanese and Koreans who came to the south to work. Anyway, North Korea and the Japanese are all vassal states of Ming Dynasty, and they can freely travel to and from Daming, work, settle down, and do business in Daming. .

"This young man~"

Perhaps seeing Liu Jin's extraordinary attire, the Japanese and North Koreans immediately came to Liu Jin with smiles on their faces, nodded and bowed and said.

"Is there a problem?"

Liu Jin looked at the Japanese and Koreans in front of him. These two people should be the leaders of these Koreans and Japanese, who are responsible for introducing and organizing people to work here in Nanyang, and earn commissions and remuneration from them.

"My lord, do you need someone?"

"Let's hire the more than one hundred people under me. As long as they have food and housing, the adults will give you five taels of silver for a year."

The North Korean said to Liu Jin with a smile on his face, he has good eyesight, Liu Jin is definitely a big prince with his clothes and servants, and he can hire these people under him.

"Young master, let's hire my people as well. They are all strong and healthy adults, with food and housing included. Five taels of silver a year is enough~"

The Japanese also said the same.

"Five taels of silver a year?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was also slightly surprised.

The price is simply too low.

But Liu Jin knew that in the Beijing-Tianjin area, people from Daming went to work in the factories casually, and at least three or four taels of silver a month, and among the many industries under his command, the salary was even higher.

These Japanese and Koreans came from thousands of miles to work here in Nanyang, and they only cost five taels of silver a year. I have to say that the price is really low, very low, very low.

"My lord, this is already the lowest price in the market. It costs thirty or forty taels of silver to buy a slave, and we only need five taels of silver a year."

"We North Koreans are very serious and diligent in doing things."

When the North Korean heard Liu Jin's words, he thought Liu Jin thought the price was too high.

In North Korea and Japan, the peasants at the bottom work hard throughout the year, which is actually very difficult, and they can't eat a few full meals throughout the year.

Both countries have a lot of people and little land, and there is very little arable land. When they reach the bottom, life is often more difficult than that of the people of Ming Dynasty.

In North Korea and Japan, not to mention earning five taels of silver a year, it is not bad to be able to eat enough throughout the year.

But when they come to Daming to work and work, they can eat three meals a day, eat fish, and get five taels of silver at the end of the year. This attracts a large number of low-level Koreans and Japanese to come to Daming to work and do things.

"Yes, yes, we Japanese are also very diligent in doing things. We are all very honest and obedient."

The Japanese also nodded straightly. As the leaders, they got a commission. At the end of the year, these people who came to Daming to work got the money, and they also had to give them a commission.

"Why did you even bring your children with you when you came out to work?"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then looked at the Koreans and Japanese behind them. There were many children. These children were carefree. They looked at Liu Jin curiously, and looked at the Young Master Daming in front of them.

"There is no way, no one will take it at home, so I can only take it out."

"My lord, these children eat very little, and they can also help herd cows, feed horses, etc., just give them something to eat."

The North Koreans immediately explained with a smile that there is no way to bring children out. Many people do not plan to go back after coming to Nanyang.

As long as they earn money, they can settle down in Nanyang. The Koreans and Japanese can also settle in Daming. This policy also attracted many Koreans and Japanese to migrate to Nanyang.

Because Nanyang has a vast land and few people, rich in products, and urgently needs a large number of people, as long as the Koreans and Japanese can speak Ming dialect, they can also settle down here.

Of course, they have no way to enjoy the same treatment as the Ming people. If the Ming people migrated to Nanyang, they can get a lot of land rewards. At the same time, the Nanyang government will also be responsible for building a house for you, and then sending you seeds and farm tools. some type of.

They Japanese and Koreans can't enjoy this treatment. They don't have land rewards, and the government won't build houses for you.

If you want to settle here in Daming, you have to spend your own money to buy a house here, or buy land and build a house yourself.

After settling down here in Daming, they have no way to obtain the status of Daming people, and their next generation must be able to obtain the status of Daming people.

But even so, it still attracts more and more Koreans and Japanese to migrate to Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty, because it is better to work for the Ming people here than in their own country.

After working for a few years, with money, you can buy a piece of land and build a house to settle down in Daming, and the next generation will be Daming people.

Moreover, life in Daming is relatively easy, earning more money, and not worrying about food. There are many people who come to Daming to settle down. Every day, there are boats and boats of Koreans and Japanese who come to Nanyang to work.

With their family and children, they are all planning to settle down in Daming in the future.

"Are you planning to settle down in Daming in the future?"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, looked at them, thought for a while and said.

"Dissatisfied son~"

"We really plan to settle down in Daming. The Son of Heaven, Shengen, allows us Koreans and Japanese to enjoy some of the rain and dew in Daming. We also plan to settle down here."

"In this way, we can work here for a long time. In North Korea and Japan, we can't even eat enough. It's better to be Ming."

The other party smiled and nodded.

For the Koreans and Japanese at the bottom, it is good news to sign the Daming vassal state agreement and become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and they can travel freely and settle in Daming.

Relying on the powerful Ming Dynasty, along with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, they can also enjoy many benefits. The newly expanded land of the Ming Dynasty is too much, and there are not enough people to cultivate it.

The Koreans and the Japanese are more numerous and the land is less, so they complement each other.

In Nanyang, Liaodong, Jiaozhi, Xianglin and many other places, many Koreans and Japanese migrated here. Even now, many Koreans and Japanese followed the fleet to the Golden Island to extract gold and silver.

"Hmm~"

Hearing this, Liu Jin also nodded with a smile.

It seemed that Ming was at a disadvantage. The Koreans and Japanese could also settle in the hard-earned land, which seemed a little unfair.

But from this indication, it can be seen that it is Da Ming who has really benefited.

These Koreans and Japanese came to help Daming reclaim land, plant sugar cane and rice, which accelerated Ming's development and management of Nanyang provinces, also consolidated Ming's rule over these places, made up for the lack of manpower in Daming, and lived a little longer. In [-], the descendants of these people will no longer call themselves Koreans and Wa people, they will all become Ming people.

　It’s not that the Koreans and Japanese are cheap, it’s the Ming people who really benefit~
