Life was hanging on the line, and the shell merchant hurriedly told the whole story in a complete manner. It turned out that in recent times, the already extremely fragile trade line between the mainland and the Hell Seas had inexplicably been interrupted by nearly one-third.

Whether it is a wealthy merchant who has friendship with native tribes;

Relying on their powerful force, they tried to contact and trade when they met large tribes, and when they met small tribes, they simply plundered the lord fleets. Many of them took risks to go out to sea and were indifferent from then on.

The supply of goods decreased, and the prices of various specialties in the Hell Seas on the mainland, which were already expensive, began to continue to rise. Driven by huge profits, some merchants became more brave than Bian Rong's soldiers, and even sharpened their heads, they had to find a way to "send death" to the Hell Islands. It is precisely for this reason that Lu Qi organized a fleet of tens of thousands of slaves in a very short period of time.

If this situation continues, the shell merchants have the right to trade with Wu Li, which can be said to be like raising a hen that can only be used to deposit golden elixirs. It is only a matter of time before they become the real aristocratic merchant in the Kataman City state.

But people's greed is always endless. Before going to sea, he accidentally learned something exciting from a collaborator agent with a very high status. The ruler of a powerful tribe from the most powerful area of ​​the Hell Islands, "Riwa Sea", appeared in Manchester City, Haiyinhai, and wanted to learn about the information about other areas of the Hell Sea and be willing to pay a high price for it.

This rumor made Lu Qi feel excited. Although the trade with the Wuli tribe is very profitable, there are many "commodities" that cannot be traded, such as a performance that can sell tickets for tens of thousands of gold coins. If you can manipulate the gambling game, you will make a profit that ordinary people can't imagine.

A fire hell child who can only crawl on the ground with broken hands and feet for the royal family or the great lords to entertain and show their identity;

And taming animals called "partners" by natives, etc.

If we can get along with the powerful tribes in the "Riwa Sea" and get the trade rights of those lacking "commodities", it will naturally be a good thing to add icing on the cake. So as soon as the fleet landed, the empty shell merchant was anxious and hurriedly asked the indigenous servants to invite Zhang Lisheng, which led to the farce just now.

After listening to Lu Qi's story, the young man felt that although there were some incomprehensible aspects in his words, it did not seem like he was lying. In particular, the reason for the sharp decline in trade between the Hell Sea and the landmen was actually because of the rapid expansion of the Wuli tribe, and the missing landmen and wealthy merchants, the soldiers were either dead or imprisoned in the landmen town specially built for them by the Wuli people.

It is normal to take advantage of the hollow-shell merchant's greed and adventurous spirit because of the impact of this incident, "I would rather believe in it but not believe in it."

Thinking of the expression of Wu Li's god softening, he waved his hand to let the native warriors retreat and then smiled hard to get, saying: "A leader from a powerful tribe from the 'Rittering Sea' went to the Kataman City State to inquire about information from other areas of the Fire Islands. This is really strange, but it doesn't look like a lie when you look at it.

Forget it, Mr. Luqi, just pretend that nothing has happened. Please forgive my recklessness and scare you. I think you should take a rest and rest."

"Wait, wait, Mr. Li Sheng, you will be surprised that the leader of the indigenous tribes in the "Riwai Sea" went to the Kataman City State to inquire about the news about the Fire Islands in other waters because you are looking at the gaze of the natives on the island under our feet, and looking at the Fire people in the "Riwai Sea".

Please be honest, that's wrong. Although I have never seen the leaders of the indigenous tribe in the "Riwa Sea" before, it is said that they are all wearing colorful silk, and they are as smooth as water. Even if they are presented to the king, they are very decent.

Also for those indigenous nobles, standing on the ground is a blasphemy, and petals must be sprinkled everywhere they pass..." Seeing the spear tip on his throat faded away, Lu Qi's white face finally had a trace of blood. After the danger, his greedy instinct was about to move again. Seeing the black-haired young man saying goodbye to him, his voice tremblingly explained.

Hearing the description of the native tribe leader of the "Rich Wave Sea", Zhang Lisheng laughed secretly. As the ancient paper book document of the Hell of Fire, it is unique in folk legends. He did not have such a style as the only god of the huge tribe that conquered half of the archipelago. It is really impossible to imagine that an ordinary Hell of Fire would have such an exaggerated and overwhelming pomp.

However, although he felt that it was a rumor, the young man did not question Lu Qi's statement. After listening patiently, he asked: "Mr. Lu Qi, are you sure there is a native tribe leader from the 'Riyao Sea' in Manchester City in Haiyinhai?"

"I'm sure Mr. Li Sheng, very sure." The empty shell businessman said firmly.

A native leader in the "Riwa Sea" of the Kataman City State undoubtedly means a safe channel from the land city state to the most powerful area of ​​the Fire Islands. As long as you master this channel, from Scorpion Island to the "Riwa Sea" is just a big circle on the sea.

"This matter is worth trying, no matter whether it is true or false..." After hearing Lu Qi's answer, Zhang Lisheng was silent for a while and murmured in a very low voice.

"What did you say, Mr. Li Sheng?" the empty shell businessman asked uneasily when he saw the black-haired young man's mouth squirming.

"I said I plan to go with you to meet the native leader from the 'Riwa Sea'. If he can really give me what I want, I will make this deal with him, and of course I will also get you what you want."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Li Sheng, you are such a great and generous scholar. In the future, you will definitely create your own discipline like Hopkins. Well, biology, yes, you have named it. Biology is such an image name." Lu Qi said in a surprise incoherent manner.

"Okay, Mr. Luqi, there is a proverb in my hometown called 'Give others convenience for yourself'. If you bring me news, I will bring you real benefits." Zhang Lisheng smiled slightly and said, "Let's complete this slave transaction as soon as possible. Only when this gold coin is in your pocket can you make the next money."

"You are talking about the liquidity of wealth. I have read this theory from Horner's "On Capital". I really didn't expect that your knowledge was so profound. No wonder it was called the 'wisdom' by the natives." Hearing the words of the young man, Lu Qi nodded repeatedly, when his eyes suddenly turned around. Zhang Lisheng, who was flattering, said with a wry smile: "I'll let the caravan's mates drive the slaves off the ship.

However, there is one thing I hope you can help you cover it up. I didn’t mention your name when organizing the caravan this time. You know, as the leader of a fleet, I must have authority to ensure that the transaction is going on normally, and the authority of the rich merchant only comes from two aspects, one is strong funds…”

"Okay, Mr. Luqi, I understand what you mean," Zhang Lisheng interrupted the empty shell merchant indifferently, "Your right to trade with Wu Li comes from your own good luck and has nothing to do with me.

I am just a scholar from other continents who you didn’t know when you traded with the indigenous people.”

"Ah, you are so understanding," Lu Qi nodded with a smile, "Then I will unload the 'cargo' from the ship now. It is all healthy laborers, with few elderly people and children." After that, he turned around and ran out of the tree house.

Shortly after the empty shell merchant left, the merchant ship moored in the port began to lower wooden escalators. At the same time, the iron door covering the bottom warehouse on the deck was also opened. Following the light and the loud shouts of the crew, groups of unkempt landmen climbed out of the warehouse with difficulty.

As soon as they got on the deck, hundreds of sailors who were professionally transporting slaves tied their hands together with hemp ropes that were not as thick as their thumbs, but were extremely hard. They staggered to their bodies, held the wooden ladder on one side, and walked down the boat slowly numbly.

The number of ships in the fleet of Hongshan Port this time was almost the same as when he first met Zhang Lisheng, but the quality exceeded that of unknown amount. The scene of 25,000 slaves staggering down on the huge wooden boats covered with natural harbor was extremely tragic and tragic.

Especially when the slaves who were already numb about all the miserable experiences got off the ship, they saw that they were not facing the picky buyers of the slave market, but the terrifying screams made by thousands of people riding on huge spiders with long purple hairs, holding sharp spears and swords, holding swords. It was even more heartbreaking.

Panic has a strong infectious force among the dense crowd. In order to prevent violence and commotion, thousands of Wuli warriors waved their spears on the back of the giant hairpin, driving their mounts to run back and forth in the port, stabbing in and out of the landmen's howling mouths, and shouting loudly in the language of the landmen, "Those who speak out die, those who speak out die..."

On the side of the largest cargo ship in the fleet, a middle-aged man with a haggard face saw the natives killing slaves who were terrified and shouting anxiously and said, "Mr. Luqi, Mr. Luqi, look, look, those savages are massacring slaves. This is really cruel. As the leader of the caravan, you should go to protest to them and protest..."

"Sorry, Mr. Vitas, according to my contract with the natives, the slaves will be owned by them once they are disembarked."

"You mean those killed slaves are counted as alive?"

"Yes, each corpse can be exchanged for the same volume of Hell wood, half the volume of ordinary ore, and the gems are calculated separately according to their value."

“Oh, since the ownership of the goods has been transferred in the native harbors, which are not subject to mainland laws, you do not have a protest position.

I should apologize to you for making such an unreasonable request," he heard the empty shell merchant mentioning the wood, ore, and gems of the firewood. The middle-aged man's extremely haggard face was suddenly replied with a little bit of expression. He pulled out a silk silk from his cuff and covered his nose, looking at the pool of blood under the boat, "But this is indeed too cruel, too cruel.
