"This is the crayfish that Master said. Fortunately, I have found it." Cai He was already preparing to leave America, but the things that Master said he must bring back to the New World were never found until yesterday.
Cai He's description can be regarded as finding this powerful little thing.
Crayfish are crucial, and Cai He remembers his master’s words before setting off.
In order to express his gratitude, Cai He gave Yicha a set of armor. The cost of the armor is much more precious than the standard sword. With the armor and sword, Yicha can be said to be invincible in single combat, and may become a legend on the American continent.
.
The fleet was about to set sail again. Fifty female slaves and thirty male slaves stood on the deck of the ship in horror, looking at the coastline from another angle, feeling that they could no longer stand still.
These thirty male slaves were a personal gift to Cai He from the master of the city-state. Of course, Cai He gave back ten pieces of silk as a courtesy. Male slaves were also needed. They would move things for the coolies in the future, so it was not a waste.
Alu is the youngest among the male slaves, only fourteen years old, but he is very strong. He is in awe from the bottom of his heart for this group of people from the end of the sea.
The first time he stood on the boat, his legs couldn't help shaking. He was really afraid of his slim future. Originally, he heard from the slaves who were with him that it was a very happy thing to be the city lord's personal slave, at least he would not be killed alive.
But the happiness left too quickly. Before he had been a private slave for three months, he was already given away by the city lord to this group of mysterious guests.
People say that the Qin people came by sea city-state in search of the most precious treasure in the world. But Alu felt that the people on the other side of the sea already had the most precious treasure, so what else were they looking for? Alu had never seen it
The kind of materials they wear are better than the ones they wear, and of course the food they eat is also delicious as they have never tasted before.
This is happiness. Although Alu is afraid, he is willing to go with these Qin people if he can eat delicious food every day.
Cai He now has to select a few smarter people. He has many things to do and it is impossible to be a translator all the time, so he has to select a few from the slaves to teach them the Daqin dialect, and leave the translation work to them in the future.
Alu was young and had very smart eyes, so he was picked by Cai He at a glance. In addition, there were three female slaves, all of whom were too young to have sex, and there were only four in the first batch.
Aru was very nervous and didn't know what to do with him, but he was willing to do anything as long as his life was spared.
Cai He explained their future work to them. Although Aru didn't understand it very well, he breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what translation was, he knew that only the high priest could write and draw, and translation must be very good.
A glorious profession. It is really incredible that these Qin people want to teach their slaves the knowledge of the high priest.
Alu was willing to learn, Cai He taught the simplest communication terms and simple seal script, and they had to rely on themselves for the rest.
The brothel on the sea was established on a mobile basis. Every once in a while, it would go to a ship for two days of business.
The captain provides a business space, and the crew can spend their wages or food. The slaves are naturally not short of food, but because they are afraid of causing trouble, they are only given the most basic food. Of course they are willing to add extra meals.
However, starving slaves was not an order from Cai He. It was made by the person in charge of the slave brothel arranged by Cai He to facilitate management. Cai He did not interfere. As the general leader, he only needs to be responsible. The details are left to his subordinates.
Catch it yourself.
Compared with female slaves, male slaves have it much easier. Alu got a position and directed the slaves to work in the building ship, which was equivalent to a small boss, because he was the only one who could communicate with both parties. Male slaves
The main job is to take care of the animals and plants brought back from the American continent, and occasionally I have to work as a porter.
"Lord Zhang San, what are your orders?" Alu's Qin dialect has been learned to some extent.
"A few boxes of chickens were delivered from the poultry ship. You need to find a few people to move them, but no one else is free."
"Young man, do it immediately." Alu has slowly learned to be a bitch now, because the life here is simply more enjoyable than the city lord, and he doesn't want to lose his current status.
Alu muttered something to the slaves, and several strong male slaves stood up. They were a head taller than Alu, but they obeyed Alu's words, because Alu was a popular man in front of the Qin people.
They are original but not stupid.
The crew members on the ship were also used to the existence of slaves, and it was not surprising to see them walking around. Some old fritters even talked and laughed with Alu, and always asked Alu when he would get a wife.
Alu already knows a lot of Qin dialect, and he always makes a big blush, and the crew around him laughs. But Alu is not angry, because these crew members who often talk to him often give him delicious food, and the kitchen
Any leftovers would be secretly given to him.
Sometimes Alu couldn't finish eating and would share it with his subordinates. This was one of the reasons why slaves were willing to obey orders: following Alu would have meat to eat.
"Eat chicken." Alu thought of the roasted chicken drumsticks he had eaten some time ago. It was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. The taste was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It could slide into his throat without chewing.
"Look, this little slave also knows how to eat chicken." The delivery person heard Alu's words and laughed.
The delivery boat will be lifted up through the two extended pulley cranes on one side of the building. Once the bow and stern of the boat are fixed, the entire boat will be raised to be level with the deck of the building.
When Aru came here for the first time, he was very curious about the device that only required two people to lift a boat with several people and several boxes of goods. He even thought it was Da Qin's witchcraft. But after getting used to it, he knew that it was Da Qin's witchcraft.
Designed by a person called the Mohist family, it is called a mechanism. Because he did not know what the Mohist family was, he thought that the Mohist family was a person.
Alu hasn't had the chance to go to other parts of the building ship yet. His scope of activities is basically limited to the deck and the cabin on the bottom. He doesn't know what is in the tall building on the deck. But he knows the one who supremely rules the entire fleet.
People lived at the highest point of that building, just like the priests who lived closest to the sun.
After transporting the things, Alu checked the time. There were water leaks in many places in the cabin. Check the water level in the water tank to determine the approximate time. Because Alu is the only slave who can speak Daqin dialect, he must go there every day.
Record the status of the American specialties with the recorder to see if there is any death, decay or damage.
Of course, the specialty products are more important than the slaves, so the specialty products are located on the first floor below the deck, where they can be ventilated and bask in the sun. The slaves live on the bottom floor and can basically only see the sun when they are working.
There were a lot of things brought back from the Americas, and the dead ones had been sealed, mainly animals and plants. The most important thing was of course the crayfish, which Dulan had named and had to bring back alive, so Cai He was also very attentive.
Although they didn't know what Du Lan wanted the lobster for, Cai He thought it might be a very important medicine. You see, it's called lobster, which is obviously related to dragons. Moreover, although this thing is small, it is very powerful. Maybe it has something to do with the emperor.
what relationship.
There are also alpacas, which are so cute that they know how to eat them. The people of Qin don’t know what they are, but they can be used as auspiciousness when they are brought back.
The recorder didn't know about this thing, and Alu wasn't actually very familiar with it because he was young. However, some of the slaves were farmers from other city-states who later went bankrupt and became slaves. He would check and tell Alu the situation, and then Alu would
Translate the words to the recorder. Repeat them every day, which makes Alu feel that the people of Qin are very serious about their work.
After entering the Atlantic Ocean, the fleet's speed became faster. Cai He knew that there would be more civilizations waiting for him to communicate next time. According to Dulan's request, he needed to bring back various local documents and some buildings.
Home.
Work in the sea is boring, but Alu enjoys it, because there are too many things waiting for him to discover in this huge maritime city-state. He can learn a lot from the Daqin people around him every day. Unknowingly, they
We have crossed the Atlantic Ocean and are about to enter a new civilization circle.
