- "Nothing, just a slave trader."
Seeing Emma asking, Zhao Hongyu replied.
"Oh, a slave trader. If he has good stuff, I'd like to buy some."
¡°There is no such thing as ¡®human rights and freedom¡¯ in Emma¡¯s thinking.
So when the little girl talked about buying a slave, there was no trace of emotion on her face.
After all, what she has seen and experienced since she was a child is completely different from Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu also knows this, so it is impossible for him to force Emma to abide by the moral bottom line of future generations like him.
"Why do you have such an idea?"
Zhao Hongyu is a little strange.
Emma replied: "Those Europeans once gave you a few dancers and eunuchs, but you didn't have them, wouldn't you? Finally, General Wang Shan trained these slaves and gave them to me. These people were very good under me." They are obedient and good at doing things, so I plan to buy some more.¡±
Zhao Hongyu remained silent for a while.
He remembered what Emma had said about those people.
Yes, at that time the French came to Manhattan for the sake of Quebec.
And he also brought some slaves purchased from Arabia as gifts to himself.
But at that time, he didn¡¯t want it, so he gave it to Wang Shan.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shan trained these slaves and finally gave them to Emma.
Thinking about it, Wang Shan¡¯s plan was to let eunuchs work in the harem.
But from what Emma said, it seemed that these eunuchs were quite capable of doing things, so there was no need for her to refuse.
??Besides, it¡¯s rare for the little girl to be satisfied, so just follow her wishes.
"You can ask around and buy some if there are suitable ones. Money is not an issue, as long as you are happy."
Zhao Hongyu, who had thought clearly, said to Emma.
When Emma heard this, a happy smile broke out on her face, and she looked at Zhao Hongyu sweetly.
"I know you are the best, and you will definitely not reject me."
"You know, those eunuchs are actually very loyal. As long as you treat them better, they will do things very carefully." When Emma thought of the eunuchs under her, she told Zhao Hongyu about their situation. .
Zhao Hongyu still understands this.
Yes, these people's bodies are already mutilated, and all they want is for their masters to be better.
If they meet a bad owner, their life will be miserable.
Fortunately, Emma is not such a person.
Slaves are not treated as cruelly as Europeans.
It can be said that when slaves work under her, they will not be beaten or scolded.
And I still eat well three meals a day.
When working under such a master, how can they not do their best?
And as long as you respect them a little bit, these people will definitely shed their blood for you.
Thinking about Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, it was a group of eunuchs who made the final resistance.
"Compared to those ministers who always claim to be loyal, they are much more responsible and like men.
So, Zhao Hongyu wondered, could these eunuchs also be used?
¡°And Wang Shan is right, his harem does need such special talents.
¡°Besides, even if you don¡¯t buy it, there will still be eunuchs in Egypt.
"When these people go to other people's homes, they still live a life worse than death.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s better to go to your own place and live a life without being abused.
And if you do this, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a good deed.
After all, in this era, for these eunuchs, which country can be better than our own empire that does not despise such people.
In fact, in Zhao Hongyu's eyes, the eunuchs of this era are just like those impotent patients in later generations.
It is not a monster-like existence.
It can be said that in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes, they are equal existences like ordinary people.
The empire will not discriminate against such people.
It is precisely because of Zhao Hongyu's concept that influenced Emma.
So, when Emma comes into contact with her subordinates,When he was a eunuch in Egypt, the way he looked at ordinary people moved the eunuchs very much.
Yes, what do they want?
It¡¯s just a non-sexual look at it.
From this, Emma would say that they are very loyal.
These words are not what Emma said randomly.
Through some small things, Emma can feel it.
When these eunuchs bring food to Emma, ??they will secretly take a sip and confirm that it is not poisonous before giving it to Emma.
No one taught or asked them to do such a thing.
This is all of their own free will.
What Wang Shan taught was just to tell them Emma's identity and some rules of the royal family.
¡°After all, Wang Shan doesn¡¯t know much about the royal system, so there aren¡¯t many things he can teach.
But these eunuchs have mastered this kind of thing without any teachers. It must be said that they are very powerful.
Because they knew Emma¡¯s identity and status, they protected her in this way.
Yes, in their eyes, although someone may not come to murder Emma, ??it is always good to be prepared for such things.
You must know that in their eyes, Emma can look at them with ordinary eyes and regard them as ordinary people, good girls and good queens.
He is also a good host.
" This kind of thing happened to Emma accidentally. She didn't understand what was going on.
So, I went to Wang Shan and talked about it.
Wang Shan is a sensible person, so he explained to Emma.
After understanding the meaning of these things, Emma was also a little moved.
After being moved, she became nicer to these eunuchs.
It¡¯s a virtuous cycle. As she treats them better, the eunuchs also become more loyal.
¡°The human heart is made of flesh, and despite the language barrier, people can feel kindness, right?
¡°With only those Arabian dancers, Emma didn¡¯t know what to do with them. Anyway, they stayed there to raise them.
For Emma, ??it¡¯s just a few more people to eat.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t know about this kind of thing.
The team continued to move forward, but not very fast.
After all, the market is so crowded and lively.
On the street, some businessmen led camels or horses back and forth, but Zhao Hongyu looked carefully and found that most of the businessmen led camels.
Thinking about it, this may be related to the fact that most businessmen are either from Arabia or Africa.
After all, camels are the main means of transportation in these two areas.
It can be said that the value of a camel in this era is much more valuable than a dozen human lives.
On both sides of the street, there are shops selling dried fish, salt, bananas, fruits, angustifolia, meat, linen products, ready-made clothes, and cloth. Olive oil merchants from Greece use containers similar to clay pots to keep the workers busy. moved into the store.
Opposite the olive oil shop is a lard shop opened by a Genoese businessman. I think the two must be competing against each other.
Most of the people here in Egypt dress in Arabic style.
Most of the women walking on the street wore headscarves covering their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed.
The remaining women are the Egyptian women wearing miniskirts and vests similar to those of later generations.
At the same time, some women wearing European costumes will also appear on the streets.
You can see white Greek dresses and tutu skirts here.
Perhaps, Cairo in this era is like the United Nations or an international metropolis in later generations.
Tall black slaves would pass by from time to time carrying a 'sedanan'. Most of the people sitting on it were women with veils on their faces. Of course, there were also occasionally a few fat men with fat heads.
The jugglers on the streets are constantly performing their unique skills to attract more people.
There are many mercenaries standing on the street wearing armor, waiting for someone to hire them.
These mercenaries come from various European countries, as well as Africa and the Arab world.
Here, they will put down their respective beliefs.
If there is anything they insist on and haven¡¯t given up, it¡¯s just money.
Egypt, the most important city in the history of the worldfamous city.
Caesar and Octavian left their legends here, as well as the name of the beautiful queen of Egypt.
To be honest, the influence of Egypt in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mind comes from the later movie Tomb Raider.
The nearly naked Egyptian girls in the film made Zhao Hongyu lustful for a long time.
The costumes of Cairo locals are rarely like those in the movies.
Basically, it can only be seen in the palace of the ruler of Cairo.
Most ordinary people wear white round-neck sleeveless linen clothing.
This kind of clothing belongs to a set, that is, one piece.
If I really want to say what it looks like, it looks like a woman¡¯s dress from later generations.
Yes, this is what Egyptian men wear.
The difference between men¡¯s and women¡¯s clothing is that men¡¯s skirts are shorter, while women¡¯s skirts are longer.
In front of some shops, Zhao Hongyu can see containers similar to clay pots.
These containers are all daily necessities used by Egyptians.
For example, it can hold water or food.
There are some pictures on these pottery pots.
Zhao Hongyu took a look and found that the patterns on some pottery used by ordinary people were very simple.
If it is pottery with more exquisite character patterns, it will be used by some wealthy families.
In addition to this aspect that attracted Zhao Hongyu, the urban environment in Egypt also made Zhao Hongyu very happy.
This is indeed a famous seaport city. Although it has a large population, it is not at all as dirty as a European city.
Zhao Hongyu even discovered that Cairo has an excellent water supply system and sewage system.
This avoids the stench of sewage flowing everywhere in the city like in European cities.
Because Cairo is a place that connects Arabia, Africa and Europe, there are a wide variety of commodities here.
Zhao Hongyu also saw that the products sold in some stores were all from Manhattan, America.
And these shops are packed with people.
It seems that the products in Manhattan are really popular here.
Zhao Hongyu remembered them all in his heart.
Like Zhao Hongyu, Emma and Sarah looked around curiously like the women of the Samuel family.
Emma was completely out of curiosity, because she had never seen such a city or style before.
What kind of style could the Mohican tribe have in the pre-American continent?
Basically, there is not much difference between Indian tribes.
If there is a difference, it would be in the name of the tribe, the number of people, or in the clothing and clothing.
Only this time when she followed Zhao Hongyu across the Atlantic to Europe, Emma opened her eyes to the vastness of the world and experienced various customs and customs.
Now Emma can be said to be the most knowledgeable person among all the Indians in America.
No Indian's knowledge would be greater than Emma's.
Because the Indians on the American continent simply could not cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Although many of the Mayans in Central America were sent to Europe by the Spaniards, their situation is completely different from that of Aima.
They were sent to Europe as trophies or prisoners, so their freedom was restricted.
Therefore, they simply cannot see what the real Europe is like.
Emma is different, she is very free.
And following Zhao Hongyu, it can be said that I visited some cities in Europe.
This is a place that is completely incomparable to the Mayans of Central America.
The yellow land here in Cairo is completely different from the lush green forests of Manhattan.
Although there are some coconut trees here, Emma feels that these coconut trees are not as strong as those in her hometown.
At the same time, here, you can see far away at a glance, it is very empty.
In a place like this, there won¡¯t be that much prey to hunt.
In Emma¡¯s little head, she still retains some Indian thinking.
But this is not surprising, after all, Emma lived in a tribe before meeting Zhao Hongyu.
And now she has become Zhao ?Yu's wife has only been living in Manhattan, which is under construction, for only a year.
How can a mindset that has lasted for more than ten years be changed in a short period of time?
There are many things that Emma pays attention to.
Especially the camel, she couldn't take her eyes off it.
¡°She had never seen such an animal in Manhattan.
I¡¯ve never even seen a horse before.
Fortunately, now on Manhattan Island, Zhao Hongyu purchased some horses through the time and space trader to let them go.
Now Emma is no longer curious about horses.
¡°After all, there are a lot of horses in my husband¡¯s ranch, right?
"What is this animal with two bags on its back? I think it walks so slowly. Why do I see so many people here holding this kind of animal?"
Finally, Emma couldn't help but ask the question that had always made her curious. (To be continued.
