The Rise of the European Emperor

Originally, Marin was happily planning to leave Bakhchisarai with the embassy and guards and return to the Danish battlefield. But on the way out of the city, Marin accidentally saw a group of Crimean cavalry, driving a group of bound people into Bakhchisaray.

"Who are these people?" Lithuanian deputy envoy Victor looked at the group of men and women who were bound.

"They are Slav slaves captured by the Crimean cavalry..." Marin almost jumped from his horse suddenly.

"Slave...slave trade...Mao Mei...what, I almost forgot..."

So, he immediately turned his horse and returned to Bakhchisarai, and put the rest of the embassy team on standby, only taking Kahn back to the Khan Palace.

Hearing that the messenger had returned, Mungojirehan was surprised, but he still summoned Marin. After all, the "North Sea Chamber of Commerce" in Marin is now the God of Wealth of the Crimean Khanate.

"Participate in the Great Khan!" After entering the Khan Palace, Marin hurriedly saluted.

For Marin's sudden turn back, Mungojirehan was also nervous, for fear that Marin would go back and not buy the cattle and sheep of the Crimean Khanate in the future.

"Your ambassador, I don't know why I suddenly turned back, because of what?"

"That's right, the Great Khan is about to enter the Ryazan Principality. After this battle, he should capture a lot of slaves, right?"

"Of course, the Principality of Ryazan has a population of more than 100,000 people, and the city of Ryazan alone has more than 10,000 people. If the city of Ryazan is conquered, the other parts of the Principality of Ryazan are cleaned up again, and 10,000 to 20,000 young men, women and children should be caught. There should be no problem. Yes." Mongogiri Khan was also very clear about the situation in the Ryazan Principality.

"Very good, I wonder what the sales will be after Great Khan captures the slaves?" Marin asked seemingly casually.

"This... If you catch 10,000 or 20,000 slaves, I don't know if you can sell them all..." Mungoji Leihan thought of this, and suddenly felt a little distressed. Although the port of Kaffa exports slaves on a large scale, it can only export a few thousand slaves every year, mainly to Turkey. However, if the Turks are not willing to buy more, they may not be able to sell them after arresting so many people this time...

"How about I help the sweat digest some?" This is Marin's speaking skills. Obviously, he wanted to help his subordinates buy Maomei, but he said that he was helping Menggejirehan to digest the "stock"...

"Really?" Mungojirehan was worried about the sale of slaves, and Marin offered to help digest it, which surprised Mongojirehan.

"Of course, Khan, can I still lie to you?"

"How many slaves does the noble envoy's chamber of commerce want? What kind of slaves do you want?" Mungoji Leihan asked excitedly.

"The main thing is young and strong women who can do farm work. Of course, young and beautiful girls are also needed. The number... Not sure, I will go back and ask for instructions, probably a few thousand are still needed..."

"How many thousands? Excuse me if I take the liberty to ask, what does your envoy want so many women for?" The demand that Marin said made Menggejirehan startled. Generally speaking, the number of people trafficked by the Crimean Khanate every year is only a few thousand, not more than 10,000. And Marin opened his mouth to ask for thousands of female slaves, which surprised Mungojirehan. Now, Mungojirehan has some doubts that Marin is a liar. Because the other party is really kind to the Crimean Khanate, and helps solve various problems...

"It's like this, on our side, the cost of marriage for young men is very high now. The house price is so expensive... The woman not only wants a house, but also a car... Well, a carriage... So, it is difficult for those young men to get married... Just in time , I heard that the price of female slaves in Eastern Europe is cheap, only a few gold coins. Our chamber of commerce plans to set up a subsidiary company engaged in matchmaking business, specializing in selling women from Crimea back to China and selling them to those bachelors as wives "..." Marlin muttered nonsense. What he said was clearly the situation in China before crossing the border...

Mongoghirehan really believed it, because he didn't know the specific situation in Western Europe, at most Lithuania.

As for the social situation in Western Europe, he naturally did not understand. Besides, what does he want to know about that? As long as someone is willing to buy his slaves.

"That's it... But, your ambassador, a few gold coins are a married woman..." Mungoji Leihan kindly reminded.

The Green Religion places great importance on the chastity of women, and the prices for girls and women vary greatly. But Christian areas have never paid much attention to these. In the eyes of traditional Christians, they only despise those indulgent women who fuck before they get married, but they never despise those who are married. Because, if you are unmarried first, you are not abiding by the rules, you will be chaotic, and you will go to hell after you die. And married women are generally poor women who have died or been abandoned by their husbands. They are not wrong and have not violated the canon. So, in Europe, it is normal to marry widows, especially those widows who are rich. If there is a noble widow with a large fief, it will be more popular, and the king will come after it...

"This is not a problem. For those poor young people, women and girls are almost the same. Of course, women's husbands, it is best not to come to the door..."

"Don't worry about this, when we robbed those women, most of their husbands were killed, and there was no future trouble..."

After hearing this, Malin felt a chill all over his body—it really was a nation of robbers. He robbed other people's women, but also killed his husband, and he was vicious... However, his participation in the slave trade seems to be very vicious...

"Well, we mainly intend to buy young women, and also some young girls. However, the appearance must not be ugly..."

Marin has actually made up his mind, and now there are a lot of immigrants in East Friesland. Most of them are poor young bachelors. Because the previous manor was unable to carry the population, he was driven out of the manor by the original manor owner, and was forced to wander around looking for work.

However, finding a job is not so easy. After all, it is an agricultural society now, and the handicraft industry is not very developed. Only a small number of people find jobs. Many people can't find work, either to beg, to starve to death, or to live as robbers...

Marin recruited a large number of young bachelors who did not work to serve as serfs. For these people, it was a problem to survive originally. It would be nice to have a wife. How could they care if the wife was a girl or a woman?

Therefore, Marin bought a large number of hairy young women, in fact, for those newly recruited bachelor serfs. Moreover, the price of young women is much cheaper than that of young girls. Marin didn't buy one or two, but hundreds or thousands. If you buy all the girls, the cost will be doubled.

For example, the price of a young woman who looks good is 6 gold coins. And a girl who looks pretty good, but the price is as high as eleven or twelve gold coins. The price of beautiful girls is more than 15 gold coins...

Marin helped those bachelor serfs to buy wives, and he had done his best. You know, even in the 21st century, no country will find a partner for single young people. Therefore, even if the bachelors are looking for young women, they are very worthy of them. Moreover, Marin also specifically asked to choose a better-looking one, worth 6 gold coins. Those ugly young women who only need 4 gold coins, Marin didn't buy them...

In addition, Marin also planned to get a group of beautiful women to go to America to develop colonies together. Maozi women are very beautiful when they are young. After 30 years old, although they are not beautiful, they are tall and can work very well. Sent to the American colonies, just to help those immigrants do farm work. After all, most of the people who are willing to go to the colony now are young people who can't make it. Generally, native East Frisian girls are not willing to marry those immigrants and go to the colonies to endure hardship together. Only these beautiful women, because they were sold as slaves, could not help themselves, would they go to the American colonies, marry those immigrants, and work with their new husbands to develop America together...

As for Marin's proposal, there is also a group of beautiful hairy girls, mainly to reward the lieutenants and soldiers of the army. The lieutenant and soldiers of the army worked for Marin, so naturally women could not be used to fool him. Those who have made military exploits can completely use beautiful girls as a reward.

Before, Marin had sent Art to Naples, Italy, to exchange food for beautiful Italian refugee beauties. After all, because of the war in Naples in the past two years, the farmland has been deserted, and many girls have no food to eat.

Originally, Marin planned to recruit 20,000 to 30,000 young women in Naples in order to marry his soldiers. However, after Arte recruited the first batch of 2,000 beautiful girls and the second batch of 8,000 Italian girls, France and Spain, which divided up the kingdom of Naples, discovered Arte's actions and prohibited Arte from continuing to exchange food for beautiful women in Naples. . Because France and Spain were afraid that Arte would use food and kidnap all the girls from the kingdom of Naples. In that case, in the future, the young men of the Kingdom of Naples will not be able to find wives and children, and will reduce the number of citizens who pay taxes to the two countries in the future...

In this way, Marin's original plan fell through. And 10,000 Italian girls are really not enough for the soldiers to divide up...

Those who are willing to be mercenaries and exchange their lives for money are basically young bachelors and poor boys. Therefore, of the 25,000 mercenaries under Marin's command (including the 5,000 sent to Italy), most of them are bachelors. 10,000 Italian girls are not enough to divide up.

Therefore, when Marin came to the Crimean Khanate this time, when he thought about it, he could buy Mao Mei as a wife for his subordinates...

Of course, for those soldiers who made military exploits, women could not be used casually to send them away. A beautiful girl can be regarded as a high-end reward, and it can also stimulate the enthusiasm and desire in the hearts of soldiers...

All in all, Maozi beautiful women are used to be wives to serfs. Of course, those soldiers who have no military exploits can also choose Maozimei as their wives. And those soldiers who have made military exploits can use their exploits to get a beautiful girl with hair as a wife...

However, in order to specifically pit Russia and stimulate the Crimeans. Marin proposed that only women from the Rus countries should be purchased, not slave women from other Eastern European countries such as Lithuanians and Romanians.

In this way, the Crimean Khanate wanted to get Marin's order, and had no choice but to go to the Grand Duchy of Moscow to grab Maomei...

In this way, the Grand Duchy of Moscow will be rounded by the wolves of the Crimean Khanate every year. Want to rise? Destroy the Crimean Khanate first...

For Marin's request, Mungojirehan was not satisfied. However, it would be nice if someone could buy their slaves in large quantities, and even if it was a great khan, Monggojirehan wouldn't be able to interfere with other people's choices. The big deal, I will go to Moscow and Ryazan to grab more in the future...

Before leaving, Marin suddenly said again:

"Khan, please give me the flag of Crimea and the customs clearance documents!"

"Huh? Your ambassador, what do you want our flags and customs clearance documents for?" Mongogiri Khan was puzzled.

"It is like this, Khan, to buy slaves, we intend to ship by sea. And the ships need to go through the Turkish Strait, through the Turks. And the country of the Khan, and Turkey are allies. Therefore, I think, your Flags and customs documents, the Turks should buy it, right?"

Of course I bought it, the Crimean Khanate is Turkey's younger brother. The Turks also rely on the Crimean Khanate to help suppress the Slavs in Eastern Europe, and naturally they will not discredit the Crimean Khanate. If you get the customs clearance documents of the Crimean Khanate and go through the Turkish Strait, you will not be embarrassed...

"Why don't you take the Lithuanian land route?" Mongogiri Khan was a little puzzled. You must know that the cattle and horse trade that was negotiated before was all going to Lithuania's land route, eh...

"The Great Khan didn't know that in our European region, the Holy See prohibits the open trade of slaves. Therefore, the act of selling slaves has to come quietly. Moreover, you also know that in the eyes of the Holy See, you Green Sect, that Infidels. If I openly cooperate with you on land and sell Slavic Christians as slaves, I will be punished by the Holy See..."

In fact, although the Holy See is corrupt, it is also benevolent because of Christian teachings. Moreover, Christianity has always been against slavery and the slave trade, including the black slave trade.

However, after the rise of Protestantism, the defeat of Catholicism, the majesty of the Holy See was lost. Later, European countries ignored the Holy See and sold black slaves on their own. In this regard, the Holy See has nothing to do.

However, the present Holy See is still very authoritative. Before Alexander VI died and his father-in-law had not yet come to power, Marin could not openly sell slave slaves in Eastern Europe. If it was found out by Alexander VI, he would not be able to eat and walk away. Even when buying cattle and horses from the Crimean Khanate, Marin intends to use the name of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce. Because, on the bright side, the Beihai Chamber of Commerce is a Jewish-run chamber of commerce and has nothing to do with Marin. Even if something goes wrong, Marin will not be implicated. It's a big deal, create a new "vest" and a new chamber of commerce...

Therefore, Marin asked to obtain the flag and customs clearance documents of the Crimean Khanate to ensure that the merchant ships under his command would pass through the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea and arrive at the slave export port of Kaffa in the Crimean Khanate to buy slaves. After all, the sea is not as crowded as it is on land. As long as they don't use their own banner, no one will find out that they are selling slaves...

After listening to Marin's explanation, Mungojirehan expressed understanding. So he presented Marin with the flags of the Crimean Khanate on four sides and signed a customs clearance document in his own hand. The documents are written in Arabic, which is commonly used in the world of Green Religion, and can be understood by Turks...

After getting the flag and customs clearance documents, Marin really left this time. He took Kahn and rushed back to the city gate, joined the original team, and embarked on the return journey together...
