Heart of Empire Chapter 43: Emancipation
Dane killed the line of 800 gold coins, but he didn't let go at all. The slave boat also stayed, and the price could be raised to 1,000 gold coins, and after providing him with fresh water and food supplements in the future, Duodoro finally agreed.
From two thousand gold coins being chopped down to eight hundred, Dotara's heart is bleeding. However, Dane bit the price too hard, and it happened to be at the lowest point of his psychological price, so he couldn't help but disagree.
As Dane said, it is very difficult for him to find opportunities to sell black goods from the mainland. No one in the slave trade is easy to mess with. Maybe on the sea, Dodoro can live at ease by relying on the boundless sea, but he robbed the goods of other slave traders, and he will be unlucky when he lands—this has happened before. precedent.
Even if you were lucky enough to escape the slave merchant's revenge when you sold the slaves on the mainland, it would not be easy to find a chance to sell the slaves. Few pirates had such channels.
Normally, if there was a price difference of thousands or nearly two thousand gold coins, Dodolo would try his best to sell these slaves from the mainland instead of sending them to Dane to be slaughtered. But who made it so difficult for him to be wanted by the Navy of the Principality of Florence? He was even forced to leave the Southern Cross Sea and run to a place like Comilla where birds don't shit. Who else could he sell the slaves he robbed to Dane?
On the second day, after Dodoluo sobered up, he found Dane, and the first sentence at the beginning was: "My brother, you really screwed me up."
Of course Dane knew that Dodoro was talking about the price of slaves. But he didn't feel guilty at all, and he didn't feel that he had cheated his friends at all.
"Come on, you can sell the one hundred and fifty female slaves, and you can sell them whatever you want. After you get rid of the cost, you can earn 800 gold coins. I didn't treat you badly, and I'm willing to give you Ghost Knife Port as a supply port. In the future, you don't need to go to the mainland to replenish fresh water and food. And you said I cheated you? If you say it again, you will give me all those slaves. Pull it back, I don't want any of them."
"Don't, don't, don't..." Dotolo said with a bitter face, and reasoned. Although he didn't make much money in this matter, he definitely didn't lose. Most of these complaints are just pretending. In fact, he felt somewhat in his heart that it was really a matter of saying sorry to whom, and it would have been even more unreliable for him to open his mouth to Tommy Lion when Dane was not around.
Dane didn't plan to get entangled in this matter any more. It doesn't matter if it's a pirate or a mercenary, everyone comes out to make some money, and Dodoluo also has hundreds of brothers to support, which is inevitable in business. You ask for a lot of money, and I sit on the ground and bargain. It is an obvious business idea, and it is too naive to talk about right and wrong.
The two chatted for a while, and Dodoro said, "I'm going to go."
"Have all the supplies been replenished?"
"Well, it's really rare that you still have so many fruits here."
"Haha, this is a specialty of my place. In the future, if you still have slave ships, you can bring them here as much as possible. I will not refuse anyone who comes here. Just don't bring me a ship of female slaves. , if you are a strong male slave, I will give you a reasonable price."
"Okay, if there is any, I will get it for you. In the sand sea, there are few ships of any kind, but there are many slave ships." Dodoro's words are more of a complaint.
……
After seeing off Dotara in the morning sun, Dane couldn't wait to call Tommy over.
"Those female slaves, I have other arrangements. You are responsible for gathering everyone for me, I have something to say."
Tommy nodded, he naturally obeyed Dane's order.
After lunch, two hundred slaves, led by Tommy and two teams of mercenaries, gathered under the high platform of Ghost Knife Port, and Dane had already been waiting on the high platform.
Seeing that the people were almost gathered, Dane cleared his throat and started his speech:
"You all come from all over the mainland. I know that your fate is not good, and you have fallen to where you are today due to various reasons. I also know that no one wants to bear the name of a slave. I feel very sorry for your situation."
When the voice fell, no one responded. These female slaves who have experienced hardships and hardships do not say that they are heartbroken, but simple words can hardly stir up any waves in their hearts.
Dane didn't care too much, just heard him continue: "Now, I am your master, but I am not happy with this status. I hope you can enjoy the sunshine freely like free citizens. You can breathe air freely, instead of being a slave, shackled all day long, imprisoned in a dark corner, eating bad food and working harder than anyone else!"
This statement has more force. After hearing what Dane said, the slaves finally reacted, whispering to each other, buzzing non-stop.
Dane did not stop these female slaves from discussing with each other. He was very patient and gave them enough time to discuss on stage. Finally, the scene he expected happened: a female slave boldly stood out from the crowd, and bravely asked Dane who was standing on the high platform: "You mean ~IndoMTL.com~ to give us freedom Citizenship?"
The person who assists is here! Dane said: "Yes, I hope that you can all live freely in Comilla Island, so I decided that all the slaves under the high platform will be free in Comilla Island from now on. People! You will enjoy the same rights as free people, you can marry freely, you can work freely, and you can use your own hands and your efforts in exchange for every ounce of food!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
The voice of the female slave who stood up first was trembling: "You... are you telling the truth?"
"No joke!"
No one will not be delighted by this. In the world of Orodik, in many places—especially near Schindler in the east of the continent—the cruel slavery system still exists. People who were displaced due to bankruptcy, war, and various reasons were captured by the slave team, put on shackles and ropes, and were dragged to the slave market for sale like livestock. After male slaves are bought by their masters, they do all kinds of dangerous and hard heavy physical labor, while women may be even more miserable-sex. The treatment of slaves is no joke.
Prostitutes. Women are not such a miserable job, but if it is sex. Slave, that is another concept.
