"Tony, I feel like I'm really going to lose my job this time!" Sheffield said to Tangning drunkenly.
"Sheffield, what happened to you, why are you so pessimistic?" Tangning asked curiously.
Sheffield took a sip of wine, and then replied: "Tony, you haven't been to the port recently, right? You'll know if you go and take a look. Less than a year ago, that's when I advised you not to buy that batch of black slaves, regardless of their health."
Everyone is vying for poor black slaves, and the prices are not cheap. But if you go to the port now, no one is buying even the strongest black slaves. Tell me, how can we do this business?
?How could I not be unemployed?"
"There is nothing we can do about this. In the past, everyone was rushing to buy black slaves because the war caused everyone to lose their black slaves, and they were rushing to plant cotton. But now the cotton is picked, but no one comes to buy it. Um, that's accurate.
It’s not that no one is buying it, it’s just that the price is too low. Since it’s not profitable to grow cotton, why do people buy so many black slaves?” Tang Ning explained.
Sheffield sighed and said: "Hey, actually I understand this, it's all caused by this damn war! If the north and the south are fighting like this, the south won't be able to grow cotton, and those British businessmen will naturally have to go elsewhere to harvest cotton, otherwise they will
What to do with the textile factories? Now you are no longer fighting, but the cotton business has been robbed by those Egyptians and Indians.
Especially those Indians, I really feel aggrieved by you American slave owners. You said you spent money to buy a few black slaves and you were scolded like that, and even people from your own country came to beat you!
But if you look at those Indians, they don’t have to spend money to buy slaves at all. Dalits everywhere are slaves themselves. Well, by the way, you may not know what a Dalit is.”
"I know about the caste system in India. Brahmins are the highest and Dalits are the lowest!" Tangning interjected. (Friends who are interested in the caste system in India recommend reading my book "Rebirth of India: Superiority", which is free.
, because the genuine version has been blocked)
"Little Tony, you know so much!" Sheffield praised, and then continued: "Originally, I thought that we slave traders were inhuman enough, but it turned out that I went to India a few years ago and discovered that, unlike those Bodhisattva
Compared with Mr. Mi, we are as kind as angels!
Have you ever seen someone riding a human as a horse? Never, right? You don’t even dare to think about it, right? But in India, especially in the countryside, there are many people who do this! This is not the most shocking thing to me, it is the most disturbing thing to me.
What I understand is that those Dalits who were bullied into the dirt have no intention of resisting at all. They all think that because they did bad things in their previous lives, they have become untouchables in this life and are bullied. This is to atone for their sins. As long as they behave well
Atone for your sins, and then you can become a Brahmin in the next life. Tell me about this brainwashing! At that time, I even wanted to hire them to brainwash the black slaves on my ship."
After chatting for a while, Sheffield, who might have sobered up, asked Tangning about the business: "By the way, Tony, please ask Mrs. Murphy for me, how many black slaves are there in Brazil now? If that doesn't work, I plan to go to Brazil."
Try your luck!"
Tangning nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll ask for you, but don't hold out too much hope. The letter she wrote to me last time said that very few manor owners would expand their plantations this year, so it's estimated that even if they buy black slaves,
It only replaces some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and the possibility of large-scale purchase is not too great!"
"Let's take whatever we can sell, and we can't keep everything in our hands!" Sheffield said depressedly.
After Sheffield left, Heidi curiously asked Tangning, "Tony, is what Mr. Sheffield just said true?"
Tang Ning nodded and replied: "It is indeed true. In fact, India is much weirder than what he said. There are many things this nation does that are difficult for us normal people to understand!" At this point, Tang Ning remembered her third brother before traveling through time.

"Tony, you said so knowingly, I thought you had been to India!" Heidi teased.
"Well, I met an Indian businessman in New York, and he told me all this!" Tangning explained bravely.
"An Indian is telling you this? Do the Indians themselves know these problems?" Heidi asked in confusion.
Tangning nodded and replied, "Of course, these issues, especially the caste issue, are all out there. How could they not know?"
"Since they know, why don't they start solving it?" Heidi asked.
Tangning asked: "Why should we solve it? Most of the people who understand these problems are upper castes, why do they want to lift their privileges? If you are an upper caste with many privileges, even though you know that these privileges are unfair
, but will you fight to lift your privileges?"
"The upper castes will definitely not lift their privileges, so why don't the lower castes rise up and resist? Just like the gunfire in Lexington?" Heidi asked again.
Downing explained: "Because the gunfire in Lexington was also started by the leaders of the large estates in Washington. The lower castes in India have no chance to receive education. How could they realize that the privileges of the upper castes are unfair?"
What about? Didn’t you listen to what Sheffield said just now? They all thought it was because they had made mistakes in their previous lives and they were trying to atone for their sins in this life!
And even if an individual low-caste understands this, he alone can't do much. After all, the entire social environment is there, unless he has the ability to change the minds of all low-castes, and then turn them into
Organize, but do you think this is realistic?"
"Well, it's difficult!" Heidi nodded in agreement.
Tangning waved her hands and said, "That's it, so I can guarantee that even a hundred or even two hundred years from now, India will still be essentially what it is now, unless a miracle happens!"
While the two were chatting, suddenly the butler Rob came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Anderson is here!"
"Melina? Why is she here again?" Heidi frowned and muttered.
