Chapter 1333 The Heart-Breaking Era

"grown ups."

Cai He is checking the reports sent by each ship. Fleet members consume a lot of food every day by eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping. Cai He must understand in real time and know which ships are empty and which ships are still full.

"It's Lu Ren. You actually submitted the report in person today? Is everything okay on your ship?" This guy is the most shameless among the fleet captains. He is the one who shamelessly asked Cai He for a female slave to be his maid.

Cai He knew from his expression that he couldn't wait to find the maid, but where was he? Cai He has not met many local women so far. Where can he find anyone who can be a maid?

"Sir..." Lu Ren wanted to remind Cai He to fulfill the agreement. Cai He promised to choose the maid after landing ashore.

Lu Ren is thirty years old, has a wife and a half-year-old child at home. He was originally a pavilion chief under the rule of Songhai City, and his life was not bad. But when it came to catching young men, their village really couldn't muster that many people, so he, the pavilion chief, was willing to risk his life and left with the village laborers. Fortunately, I only went to Songhai City, and I still worked for Dulan.

Lu Ren was one of the five hundred selected brain-opening workers, and he was also the first batch of workers that Duran valued most. Most of these workers stayed in Songhai City to teach, but Lu Ren wanted to stay with Cai He and make a name for himself because he had helped Cai He make paper.

Only then did Lu Ren go to sea. In front of Cai He, the man in his thirties became nervous: "Sir, do you still remember what you said when we were at sea?"

Cai He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He naturally remembered it, but seeing Lu Ren like this made him angry. This Lu Ren is very talented and obedient, but he is lustful and likes to show off.

Lu Ren felt that he was now the captain of a ship, which was more prestigious than the captain of the pavilion. Since he was promoted, the maids must have all the delicacies. He was a complete hedonist.

"I don't remember." Lu Ren had been following Cai He from the beginning. Cai He was also familiar with him, so he spoke casually. In Cai He's heavy work, this guy is the only one who can make Cai He laugh.

"How could this be possible?" Lu Ren became unhappy for a moment: "Sir, how could you forget it? Didn't you agree that you could find a maid after you landed ashore? But you agreed personally and also sent a message to every captain. How about asking other captains to confront him?" As he spoke, he noticed that Cai He had been looking at him, and Lu Ren felt guilty. Of course, he knew that Cai He could not forget, but he was just afraid that Cai He would not admit it. This is even worse than forgetting: "Sir, it's not me who wants to remind you, it was Lu Jiu who insisted on letting me come."

"What does it have to do with Lu Jiu? He is much more honest than you. Just talk about the mobile brothel. Every time we come to your boat, you are not absent. How dare you leave your job as captain and follow the brothel to other boats. Lu Jiu goes to the brothel. Every time It was you who invited me, you are leading an honest man."

Lu Ren didn't expect that both Cai He and Cai He knew about it. He knelt down and said in a low voice: "Why is Lu Jiu so honest? Sir, don't be deceived by him. Although I asked him to go, he didn't do anything when he arrived at the brothel." Spend less money." Lu Ren betrayed his friend without hesitation.

Lu Jiu and Lu Ren were fellow villagers, and they boarded the ship together and became captains. The two had a very good relationship. However, Lu Jiu had made a fortune since his father, moved to Songhai City, and was much richer than Lu Ren.

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

However, the salary is not a small amount, and the captain's food and daily life at sea are provided by the government, so there is no place to spend money. It was not until the emergence of brothels that the captain had the opportunity to show off his wealth.

"Okay, so many captains are in the same position, but you are dissatisfied and dissatisfied. You think that male servants and scouts are not good, but you still insist on maids." Cai He said angrily.

"I haven't enjoyed this before. Now that I have the opportunity, I can't treat myself badly." Lu Ren said bluntly.

"Okay, then go find them. If you have the ability, I won't object to finding ten of them." Cai He said.

"But sir." Lu Ren came to Cai He this time mainly because he couldn't communicate with the locals: "I can't speak the local dialect here, so can it be like the previous time, where the adults will choose, and then we ourselves Distribution." "We trust your Lord's judgment." This is true. The female slaves Cai He selected before were not crooked. They were all in line with the Qin people's aesthetics.

Cai He almost slammed the table in anger. Does he look like a human trafficker? "Do you think I'm idle?"

"No, sir, we came to you because we really had no choice. We have actually contacted the aboriginal people, but it's totally the same thing." Lu Ren said with a sad face: "There is nothing we can do, sir. But you can’t be irresponsible for what you promised your subordinates.”

Cai He sighed, is this just a matter of hard work for the able? Do you even have to do this kind of human trafficking thing yourself?

"Let's go!"

After receiving the promise, Lu Ren finally showed a smile: "Let's go, I'll wait for you, sir." In addition to Lu Ren, there are several captains who also want a maid, and some are even planning to marry a concubine.

Some captains thought it was too demeaning to go whoring 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 undergo regular health checks.

When they saw Cai He, these people were not as presumptuous as Lu Ren. They were all respectful and didn't go overboard in the slightest.

"You can wait until you get to the big city to find a maid. Can't you wait at all?" He had to teach these people a lesson when he went out. He had no patience at all.

Everyone was silent. They knew that it was done by looking at Lu Ren's expression when he went out. It was right for the leader to scold him now.

Is there slave trade in this place? Obviously not. There are only dozens of women in this tribe, and only a dozen unmarried women. Most of them are already taken.

Selling daughters? Yes, as long as the price is right, they will definitely sell.

Of course, Cai He also asked about the slave trade in the big tribes, and even human traffickers who walk the streets to buy and sell people. After knowing this, Cai He could only say that this is an era of cannibalism. There is also such human trafficking in Daqin, and it is even more rampant in this wild land. Cai He sold himself to the palace.

Cai He still wanted to buy people from human traffickers, and didn't want to force good women into prostitution. Those daughters with families, some of whom were about the same age as Cai He, Cai He couldn't bear it.

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

Because they had been impressed by the "luxury" of the Qin Dynasty, in their opinion, they could have food to eat following the Qin people. The Qin people's servants also wore better clothes and ate better food than they did, so there was no harm in selling themselves to the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing their expressions of "I'll die if they don't buy my daughter", Cai He thought of himself in the past, and thought that following the fleet was not a bad thing, so he agreed. But when he saw what the captains took out, he got angry again.

Some captains only took out a porcelain bottle and wanted to buy someone's daughter?

The captains felt wronged, but they were already higher than the market price. In the New World, can't a porcelain bottle be exchanged for five slaves?

But those were slaves, and these people were all good families. Cai He said to increase the price, and the captains could only increase the price with a bitter face.

So he added silver, and Cai He completed the transaction. The tribesmen laughed and laughed. With so much money, they could buy more people, and they could also be slave owners, and the tribe would be prosperous.
