Chapter 1334 Something Crucial

"This is the crayfish that Master said, fortunately, it can be regarded as a found. "Cai He was ready to leave the Americas, but the things that Master said he must bring back to the New World have not been found, and it was not until yesterday that Itza found this little thing that showed off his might according to Cai He's description.

Crayfish are crucial, Cai He remembered Master's words before departure.

As a token of appreciation, Cai He gave Itza a suit of armor. The cost of armor is much more precious than the standard sword, and with armor and swords, Itza can be said to be invincible alone, and may become a legend on the American continent.

The fleet was about to set sail again, and fifty female slaves and thirty male slaves stood in horror on the deck of the big ship, looking at the coastline from another angle, and only felt that they could not stand on their feet.

These thirty male slaves were privately gifted to Cai He by the owner of the city-state, and of course, Cai He still gave ten silk horses in return. Male slaves are also in need, and it is not a waste to move things for the use of being coolies in the future.

He was the youngest of the male slaves, only fourteen years old, but his strength was not small. For this group of people from the end of the sea, he was in awe from the bottom of his heart.

The first time he stood on the boat, his legs couldn't help but shake, and he was really scared of his own slim future. Originally, he heard from the slaves he was saying that it was a very happy thing to be the personal slave of the city lord, at least not to be sacrificed alive. But happiness left too quickly, and before he had been a personal slave for three months, he had been given to this mysterious group of guests by the lord of the city.

It is said that the Qin people came by sea city-state in search of the most valuable treasure in the world. But Ah Lu felt that the people on the other side of the sea already had the most precious treasure, and what else was there to look for? Ah Lu had never seen the kind of material they were wearing, and of course what they had eaten was something they had never tasted before.

This is happiness, although Ah Lu is afraid, but if he can eat delicious food every day, he is also willing to go with these Qin people.

Cai He now has to choose a few smarter people, he has a lot of things to do all the time to translate, so he has to pick a few from the slaves to teach them the Daqin dialect, and the matter of communication and translation will be handed over to them in the future.

Ah Yu is young, and his eyes are very smart, and he was picked by Cai He at a glance. In addition, there were three female slaves, all of whom were too young to have sexual intercourse, and there were only four in the first batch.

Ah Yu was nervous and didn't know what to do with him, but as long as he didn't want his life, he was willing to do anything.

Cai He explained to them their future work, although Ah Yu did not understand very well, but he breathed a sigh of relief, although he did not know what translation was, but he knew that only high priests could write and draw, and translation must be a very honorable profession. It is really incredible that these Qin people should teach the knowledge of the high priest to their slaves.

Ah Yu is willing to learn, Cai He taught the simplest communication words and simple small seals, and the rest is up to them.

The establishment of the Sea Green House is mobile, and every once in a while it will go to a ship for two days.

The captain provides business space for the crew to spend on their own wages or food. Naturally, the slaves did not lack food, but because they were afraid that they would make trouble, the food they were given was only the most basic, and they were of course willing to eat more.

However, the hungry slave was not Cai He's order, but was made by Cai He, who was arranged by Cai He to manage the slave Qinglou himself, in order to facilitate management. Cai He didn't interfere, as the chief leader, he only needs to be in charge, and the details are handled by his subordinates.

Compared to female slaves, male slaves were much more relaxed. Ah Yu was given a position to direct the slaves in the ship, which was equivalent to a small leader, because he alone could communicate with two people. Male slaves were mainly employed as tending to the flora and fauna brought back from the American continent, and occasionally had to work as porters.

"Zhang Sanren, what do you command. "Ah Lu's Qin dialect has been learned.

"There are a few boxes of chickens sent from the poultry ship, you find a few people to move them, and the others are not available. ”

"The little ones will do it immediately. "Ah Yu is slowly learning to be like a dog's leg now, because life here is simply more enjoyable than the city lord, and he doesn't want to lose his current status.

Ah Lu muttered a few words to the slaves, and several strong male slaves stood up. They are a head taller than Ah Lu, but they obey Ah Lu's words, because Ah Lu is a red man in front of the Qin people. They are primitive but not silly.

The crew of the ship was also accustomed to the presence of slaves, and it was not strange to see them walking around, and some of the old fritters still talked and laughed with Ah Lu, and always asked Ah Lu when he would marry his daughter-in-law.

Ah Yu already knew a lot of Qin dialect, and he always made a big red face, and the crew around him laughed. However, Ah Yu is not angry, because the crew members who often talk to him will often give him good food, and any leftovers in the kitchen will be secretly given to him.

Sometimes Ah Lu could not finish eating and gave it to his subordinates, which was one of the reasons why the slaves were willing to obey orders: they had meat to eat with Ah Lu.

"Eat chicken. Ah Lu remembered the grilled chicken thighs he had eaten some time ago, it was the best thing he had ever tasted, the taste was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it could slide into his throat without chewing.

"Look, this little slave knows how to eat chickens. The person who came to deliver the goods laughed when he heard Ah Yu's words.

The delivery boat will be lifted by two overhanging pulley cranes on one side of the boat, and the bow and stern of the boat will be fixed and the whole boat will be raised to the level of the deck of the ship.

When Ah Lu first came, he was very curious about the device that only needed two people but could lift a boat for several people and several boxes of goods, and he even thought that it was Daqin's witchcraft. However, after getting used to it, he knew that it was designed by a person called the Mo family in Daqin, called the mechanism. Because he didn't know what the Mo family was, he thought that the Mo family was a person.

Ah Yu has not yet had a chance to go to the rest of the ship, and his range of activities is basically limited to the cabins on the deck and the ground floor, and he does not know what is in the tall building on the deck. But he knew that the one who ruled the whole fleet lived at the highest point of the building, and like the priests, he lived closest to the sun.

After transporting the things, Ah Yu looked at the time. There are many places in the cabin that have a timed water leak, and the approximate time is determined by looking at the water level of the water tank. Since he was the only slave who could speak the Great Qin dialect, he had to go and record the situation of the American specialties with the recorder every day to see if there were any deaths, decay and damage.

Of course, the souvenirs are more important than the slaves, so the souvenirs are located on the first floor below deck, where they can be ventilated and sunbathed. Slaves, on the other hand, lived on the lowest floors and could see the sun almost only when they were working.

The Americas brought back a lot of things, dead things have been sealed, mainly animals and plants. The most important thing is, of course, the crayfish, which Duran must bring back alive, so Cai He is also very attentive.

Although they didn't know what Duran wanted the lobster for, Cai He felt that it might be a very important medicine, you see that it was called a lobster, which was obviously related to dragons, and although this thing was small, it was very powerful, maybe it had something to do with the emperor.

There are also alpacas, stupid and cute people know how to eat, and the Qin people don't know what this is, but they can be auspicious when they bring it back.

The recorder didn't know about it, and he wasn't very familiar with it, because he was young, but if there were peasants from other city-states who later went bankrupt and became slaves, he would check and tell him about the situation, and then he would translate the words to the recorder. It was repeated every day, which made Ah Lu feel that the Qin people were very serious about doing things.

After entering the Atlantic, the speed of the fleet was faster, and Cai He knew that there would be more civilizations waiting for him to communicate in the next place. According to Duran's request, he wanted to bring back various local documents, as well as some architects.

The work of the sea was boring, but Ah Lu enjoyed it, because there were still so many things to discover in this huge sea city-state, and he could learn a lot from the Great Qin people around him every day. Before you know it, they have crossed the Atlantic and are about to enter a new civilizational sphere.
