"Your Excellency. ”

Cai He was checking the reports sent by the ships, the fleet members would consume a lot of food every day to eat, drink, and sleep, and Cai He had to know in real time which ships were empty and which were still full.

"It's Lu Ren, you actually submitted the report in person today, are you okay on board?" This guy is the most shameless captain of the fleet, that is, he has the cheekiness to ask Cai He for a slave girl to be a maid.

Cai He knew from his expression that he couldn't wait to find the maid, but this was it. Cai He hasn't seen a few local women so far, where can he be a maid?

"My lord......" Lu Ren wanted to remind Cai He to fulfill the agreement, Cai He promised to go ashore and choose a maid.

Lu Ren is thirty years old, has a wife and a half-grown child at home, and was originally a pavilion chief under the rule of Songhai City, and his life is okay. It's just that when they caught the strong men, their village really couldn't get together so many people, and he, the pavilion chief, also went out with the laborers of the village. Fortunately, he only went to Songhai City, and he still worked for Duran.

Lu Ren was one of the five hundred brain-opening laborers chosen, and the first batch of workers that Duran valued the most. These workers basically stayed in Songhai City to teach, but Lu Ren wanted to stay with Cai He because he helped make paper, so he wanted to stay by Cai He's side and mingle.

Only then did Lu Ren go to sea, and in front of Cai He, the man in his thirties twisted instead: "My lord, do you remember what you said when you were at sea?"

Cai He couldn't cry or laugh, he naturally remembered, but when he saw Lu Ren's appearance, he couldn't get angry. This Lu Ren is good and obedient, but he is lustful and likes to put on music.

Lu Ren felt that he was now the captain of a boat, but he was more majestic than the pavilion chief, since he was promoted, the maid and the food were indispensable, he was a complete hedonist.

"I don't remember. "Lu Ren has been following Cai He from the beginning, and Cai He is also very familiar with him, so he speaks casually. Cai He's heavy work, only this guy can make Cai He laugh.

"How can this be?" Lu Ren was instantly unhappy: "My lord, how can you forget? Didn't you say that you can find a maid after you go ashore? But you personally agreed, and you also sent a message to each captain, do you want to find other captains to confront you." As he spoke, he found that Cai He had been looking at him, Lu Ren's heart was empty, of course he knew that Cai He could not forget, but he was afraid that Cai He would not admit it. This is even more excessive than forgetting: "My lord, it's not me who wants to remind you, it's that guy Lu Jiu who has to let me come." ”

"What does it have to do with Lu Jiu, he is much more honest than you. Let's just say that the mobile Qinglou, every time you come to your ship, you are not absent, and you dare to put down the captain's work and follow the Qinglou to other ships. Lu Jiu goes to the Qinglou, every time you invite you, you are a bad and honest person. ”

Lu Ren didn't expect Cai He to know, so he knelt down and said in a low voice: "How is Lu Jiu an honest man, don't be deceived by him, my lord, although I asked him to go, but once he arrived at the Qinglou, he didn't spend less money." Lu Ren did not hesitate to betray his friend.

This Lu Jiu and Lu Ren are fellow countrymen, and they got on the boat together and became captains, and the two have a good relationship. However, Lu Jiu has made a fortune since his father and moved to Songhai City, which is much more generous than Lu Ren.

In fact, as a captain, before departure, Duran gave each captain a settling-in allowance and a salary advance, and if they wanted to buy some public goods on the ship, they could do it, and it was also an internal price.

However, the salary is not a small amount, and the captain's diet and daily life are all eaten by the public, and there is no place to spend money at all, until the Qinglou appears, there is a chance for the captain to show off his wealth.

"Okay, so many captains, all of them are in the same position, you are dissatisfied with that, dislike the manservant scout is not good, and you have to be a maid. Cai He said angrily.

"Isn't it like I haven't enjoyed it before, and now that I have the opportunity, I naturally can't treat myself badly. Lu Ren was blunt.

"Okay, then you can go and find it, as long as you have the ability, even if you find ten, I don't object. Cai He said.

"But my lord. Lu Ren came to Cai He this time mainly because he didn't know how to communicate with the locals: "I don't speak the local language here, so can you still choose it like the previous time, and then we will assign it ourselves." "We believe in the eyes of adults. "That's right, the female slaves selected by Cai He before were not crooked melons and cracked dates, they were all in line with the aesthetics of the Qin people.

Cai He almost slapped the table angrily, did he look like a human trafficker?, "Do you think I'm idle?"

"No, my lord, we really can't come to the adults, we have actually been in contact with the natives, but it's completely chicken and duck. Lu Ren said with a sad face: "Isn't there no way, my lord, this is what you promised your subordinates, you can't be responsible." ”

Cai He sighed, is this just a person who can work harder? Even this kind of human trafficking thing has to be done by himself?

"Let's go!"

After receiving the promise, Lu Ren finally smiled: "Go, just wait for you, adult." "In addition to Lu Ren, there are several captains who also want a maid, and some are even ready to marry a concubine.

Some captains thought it was too bad to be a prostitute with the crew, so there was no need to have a maid with the crew. There are also people who are afraid of getting dirty, although female slaves have regular health check-ups.

Seeing Cai He, these people are not as presumptuous as Lu Ren, and they are all respectful and respectful without the slightest transgression.

"If you want to find a maid, you can wait until the big city, can't you wait at all?"

Everyone stopped talking, they knew it was done when they saw Lu Ren's expression when he went out, and now it was right to let the leader scold a few words.

Apparently there is no slave trade in this place, and there are only a few dozen women in this tribe, and only a dozen unmarried, and most of them are famous and well-owned.

Is it for sale, as long as the price is right, it will be sold.

Of course, Cai He also asked about the slave trade in the big tribes, and even the traffickers who bought and sold people in the streets. After knowing this, Cai He could only say that this was the era of personal cannibalism, and there was also this kind of human trafficking in Great Qin, and this wild land was even more rampant. Cai He himself sold himself to the palace.

Cai He still wants to go to the traffickers to buy people, and he doesn't want to force Liang to become a prostitute. Those daughters who have families, some are about the same age as Cai He, and Cai He can't bear it.

However, when the tribesmen learned that Cai He wanted to buy a woman, they all expressed their willingness to sell it, as long as the price was right, even boys could be sold.

Because they have been impressed by the 'luxury' of Great Qin, it seems to them that they have food to eat with the people of Great Qin. The descendants of the Great Qin people are also better than the ones they wear and eat, and there is no harm in selling themselves to Great Qin.

Seeing their expressions of dying if they didn't buy my daughter, Cai He remembered himself at the beginning, and thought that it was not a bad thing to follow the fleet, so he agreed. But when he saw what the captains had brought out, he got angry again.

Some captains just take out a porcelain vase and want to buy someone's daughter?

The captains are very aggrieved, they are already higher than the market price, isn't a porcelain vase in the New World worth five slaves?

But they were slaves, and these people were good families. Cai He said that the price would be raised, and the captains could only increase the price with a bitter face.

So he added silver, and Cai He completed the transaction. The people of the tribe laughed and flowered, so much money they could go to buy more people, they could also be slave owners, and the tribe was developed.
