Although he was not sure whether the guys in front of him were human, Wu Ciyou was very interested in their strong muscles. Although these black men looked ugly, they were all over 1.7 meters tall. Compared to the average height of 1.5 meters

A native of Java who is six years old can be considered tall.

Garcia was mumbling something, and the steward hurriedly translated: "He said these are people from the Kuso tribe in Black Africa. These people are the best hunters. Because they hunt in the jungle all year round and need to climb trees, they all

They are all very strong and have amazing arm strength.

In their tribe, not only the men are tough, but the women are also very tough. It is said that squatting in front of the shack to give birth is no different from a hen laying eggs."

"How many people can a tribe have? I need at least three to five thousand people on my construction site. How many can he provide?" Wu Ciyou is not interested in the hen-laying style of giving birth. What he is interested in is what the Spaniards can do.

How many black slaves were provided.

After listening to Wu Ciyou's words, the steward hurriedly chatted to Garcia. It seemed that this guy got a lot of benefits. Otherwise, he would never be so active in helping.

"He said he now has a hundred Kuso slaves on his hands."

"A hundred people? All with this physique?"

"yes!"

Wu Ciyou looked at these black people and said doubtfully: "Since they are so powerful, how did he catch them?"

"Master Wu, you don't know that these black people are also fighting among themselves. This Kuso tribe has a hostile tribe called Akujin. These two tribes each capture each other's people and sell them to Garcia. Garcia

Sell ​​these people to the Middle East. I heard from him that there are many slave traders on the west coast and they transport black people to the Americas. There are not many slave traders on the east coast, there are only a few of them.

So! Everything from quantity to quality is guaranteed! Mr. Wu, look...!"

"What's the price?"

"Three Ming silver coins for men and two silver coins for women. You can also exchange goods for them. All our Ming things are fine."

"How many can I exchange for this?" Wu Ciyou looked around and picked up the glass plate containing the fruit. The milk fruit, longong, and avocado on the plate were scattered on the floor, and the black people lay on the ground to pick them up.

Eat, I don’t know how long I haven’t eaten.

The steward turned around and muttered a few words to Garcia, then turned back and said with a smile: "He said that you can exchange five black slaves for your plate."

"Replace this plate with these twelve. If you change it, leave the person behind. If you don't change it, leave quickly." Wu Ciyou put down the glass plate and waved his hand like a fly.

This steward had obviously done some tricks in it. Wu Ciyou knew that this kind of glass plate was very popular in the Middle East. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the technology of glass products has been continuously improved in recent years, and the glass has become as pure as crystal. It is different from the ones that contained a lot of impurities a few years ago.

Glassware is absolutely different.

"Master Wu, you...!" The steward looked embarrassed.

"Eating everything but eating it, or do you want to get some benefits from it? That Garcia was mumbling just now, but his eyes were staring straight at the plate, with an expression of obvious desire. You want to deceive me because I am young? Do you want to?

To deceive me, you have to be smarter than me. Believe it or not, you will become a supervisor on the construction site. You will hold a whip all day long and watch the Javanese people work." Wu Ciyou pointed sadly.

Those overseers sweating like rain.

Xinjiapo is simply not a place for people to live. There were large pieces of ice placed inside Wu Ciyou's house, and a native tried hard to fan him. But when he left the house, it was like a fire outside.

Under the scorching sun, I was covered in sweat even if I didn't move. Not to mention, I had to watch the natives work.

Sweat broke out on the steward's forehead immediately. Even though Wu Ciyou was young, he really had the final say in this place. Although he had some foundation, he was in the Ming Dynasty, and the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. In such a hot weather yesterday,

There was also a supervisor who suffered from heat stroke and almost died.

"I don't dare! If you ask me to replace them all, then I will replace them all. There are about a hundred more on Garcia's ship, and I will get them back for you at the cheapest price." The steward said with a smile and caution, not daring to go any further.

I have a little contempt for Wu Ciyou.

"There are ten more plates like this in the kitchen. You can give them all to him. Before dark, I want to see those black slaves. If they are not of such quality, I will lock you up with the natives."

"Don't! Don't!"

Li Xiu was surprised to find that there was a group of tall natives on the pier. These natives were taller and stronger than the Javanese natives, and more powerful than them. A large stone of 100 kilograms could be picked up and walked away. Two people pushed it

A large cart carrying three hundred kilograms of stones is almost as small as no weight.

After calling Wu Ciyou, I found out that this was a black man who had exchanged kitchen plates for it.

"No wonder they look different from Javanese natives. Their hair is curly and their lips are so thick that they look a bit inhuman." Li Xiu had seen black people in Macau, but never such a black one.

There are more than a hundred of them, and you can't even see them at night without showing their teeth.

"These black people are a little stupid, but they are really capable. As long as they are well fed, one of them can equal two Javanese natives. My subordinates are also surprised that there are such strange things in the world. I don't know that there are other things on the other side of the sea.

What a magical thing." Wu Ciyou stood next to Li Xiu, looking at the sea with a look of longing.

"I have seen this kind of black people in Macau with my elder brother before, but they are not so dark. Black people are indeed stronger, but my elder brother said that there are also short black people. According to my elder brother, they are only one meter tall. That is... bigger than a monkey.

Son!"

"So small, are they still human?"

"I'm also wondering about this. My elder brother said that the whole of Africa is like this. People in Europe are just the opposite. Their skin is white. It's not as white as blood. Man Ye, the First Cavalry Division, captured him from Heilongjiang that year.

There are hundreds of them, and the faces of the old men are fairer than those of the girls. By the way! You were also in the capital at that time, and you should have seen them when the prisoners were presented."

"See you! The two leading men also asked the commander to make wax figures and put them in the pavilion for everyone to see. The subordinates were thinking, what is on the other side of the sea? How many magical places are there in this world?

?”

"Sometimes, I also want to see what is on the other side of the sea. What a pity! My elder brother asked me to go back. He wrote a letter saying that this place will become the largest port in the future. In a few days, Hong Chengchou's ship should arrive. He is

Governor here, will you follow me back or stay here to repair the port? I remind you that the ship from here to Daming is not as comfortable as Zhenyuan."

After spending six months together, Li Xiu likes Wu Ciyou, a smart guy. The two of them are about the same age, and they can talk together easily.

"I still stay here and build the port before going back. In my life, I have few opportunities to complete such a large project overseas. Here, I have full power. I hope that when the port is built in the future, I can be used

Named after.”

"The Ministry of Industry will send workers to burn cement. You have to build a large barracks for me. After the Marines return, they will expand. The first regiment will be transformed into the first marine division, and the second regiment will be transformed into the second marine division. Big brother also approved

More plans to build warships!

It can be seen that the eldest brother is going to do something big. I feel that the enemies in the future will mainly come from the west. Singapore will become the most important outpost of our Ming Navy. The barracks are small, and I am afraid that they will need to be expanded in the future.

."

"No problem, as long as there is enough cement, my subordinates can build enough military camps for you! I haven't built a house for half a year, isn't it because there is no cement. You can ask the supply ship to bring more glass products and burn the sand.

It would be a good deal to replace the goods with black people who can do the work.
Chapter completed!
