The Rise of the European Emperor

.

After reaching an agreement with the Sami, Marin arranged for two merchant ships of about 180 tons (all merchant ships over 200 tons were arranged to transport ewes to Western Sahara to "find a boyfriend"), with salt And building materials and other supplies, planning to go to Narvik fishing village to build a trading port. In the future, Marin intends to use it as a trading center with the Sami.

Klaus, who looks like Santa Claus, is very happy with the Sami fishermen, driving three small fishing boats of the Sami people, and acting as a leading party for the two merchant ships of Marin. For the Sami people who live in polar regions and lack materials, better days have come. Because, Marin promised that, in addition to salt, he would provide the Sami with various living materials, including cloth, needles, and hunting bows and knives. And these are in urgent need of the Sami.

The Norwegians and Danes don't see the Sami as human beings, only as barbarians. Therefore, it is very difficult for the Sami to be a material supplier. Every year, the Danes will only send two boats with the salt that the Sami most desperately need to go to the Sami area, sell them at a high price, buy reindeer fur and other materials at a low price, and squeeze the Sami people. As for the bows, arrows and hunting knives that the Sami desperately need for hunting, the Norwegians do not give them at all. Because they are afraid that the Sami will threaten their rule if they have weapons.

Marlin, on the other hand, is not worried about this. why? The Sami people count on themselves to provide them with supplies, even if they have weapons, dare to use them on their own? Even if the Sami people can't think of it and want to be robbers, they can only go to the south to grab the Norwegians, and it is impossible to cross the sea to East Friesland to grab them. Therefore, Marin is very relieved about buying weapons for the Sami.

Also, the Sami do need the best possible weapons. Because, in their living area, there are dangerous creatures such as grizzly bears, polar bears and snow wolves. Without weapons, the Sami can only watch these creatures wreak havoc and hide in the defenses of their houses. However, with adequate and sophisticated weapons, it is possible to hunt down these menacing creatures. In this way, the reindeer domesticated by the Sami will not be preyed on by wolves.

After Klaus left, Marin got inspired and told little Caesar a fairy tale about Santa Claus. Little Caesar, who was already very talkative, was fascinated by it. In fact, let alone little Caesar, even Angela and Ferris were attracted by fairy tales. Only Robert Jr., because he was too young, didn't understand what Marlin was talking about...

I heard that Santa Claus is driving a car pulled by 9 reindeer to deliver gifts to the children. Little Caesar happened to see 9 reindeer tied up in the courtyard of the palace, so he strongly asked Marin to use the 9 reindeer to pull the gifts. car……

Thousands of Marin saw that these nine reindeer were all castrated stags, and they were also very tame, and they seemed to be used to pull carts. Because, on these 9 reindeer, there are still the reins and shoulder sleeves for pulling the cart...

However, the 9 reindeer pulled the cart, and the horsepower was too high, so Marin used one of them to make a small deer cart and put Caesar on it to play, but Caesar was very happy.

...

After a few days,

Art's fleet that transported Mao Mei once again brought Mao Mei back. This is the last batch of Mao girls captured by the Ryazan Principality. According to Art, Mungojirehan, Crimea, has already fought hard, waiting for the autumn harvest before going to rob Pomao girl. At that time, it was Mao Mei and the grain robbing.

Marin rolled his eyes upon hearing this—it really is a country of robbers, and he has gained experience in robbery. After the autumn harvest, it is the time when there is the most grain in the village. As long as you go to the countryside before the nobles transport the grain into the city, you will definitely get a lot of grain. Moreover, Marin did not think that, other than those fortified castles, any Russian village could withstand the attack of the Crimean Tatar cavalry.

"By the way, Your Excellency, Mungoguirehan asked me to ask you, are those Ryazan men who were castrated before, are they still working well?"

Marin didn't know why, but he still sent someone to check what happened to the unlucky hairs who came with the boat.

Alt explained:

"It's like this, my lord, the sales of the 10,000 strong men captured by Mungojirehan, the problems they encountered. Before, because I taught them the method of disinfection. Now, the 10,000 strong men have been castrated, But 9,900 people survived, and the Crimeans were excited. Then they went around selling castrated Ryazans, but they ran into problems..."

"Having a problem? What's the problem? Is there something wrong with those Ryazan men?"

"That's not true, it's like this. The main sales direction of Crimean slaves is Ottoman Turkey. It's just a coincidence. Last year, Omani pirates in the Arab region (the ancient Omanis were very horny and often invaded) East Africa), thousands of strong black slaves were captured in East Africa, and they were all castrated. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish male slave market was saturated last year. Therefore, the 9,900 Ryazan male slaves in the Crimean Khanate were unsalable. now..."

"Uh... that's really bad luck. And then, Mungojirehan trying to sell me a slow-moving item?"

"It seems like this..."

At this time, the men who Marin sent to investigate the whereabouts of the castrated Maozi came back:

"My lord, it has been investigated. Those Ruth slaves are working as porters at the granary in the north of the city, specializing in loading and unloading food. For several months, these slaves have been very honest and willing to work hard. Although the food intake is not small, But there is a lot of work, and there is no slack. And at night, I go to bed when it gets dark, and never do anything..."

The corners of Marin's mouth twitched - he was castrated, what else could he do at night? Whether it's looking for a woman or a friend, I feel powerless. So, I can only sleep when it's dark...

"So, these Ross slaves are quite honest and willing to do it?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Marin turned around and asked Art:

"What did the Crimea say?"

"In the Crimea? I heard from the Tatars that in the past few months, except for the period of time when he was recuperated after being castrated, the 9,900 Rus slaves were all helping Mungoguirehan build palaces. It seems that , Those slaves seem to be very honest, after all, they are serfs from the Ryazan Principality..."

"Being a serf? It's good to find a good one. It just so happens that the North Münster area needs serfs to cultivate wasteland. Then buy it, just use it to cultivate wasteland!" Marin said happily.

"No, my lord, this will affect your reputation!"

At this time, Machiavelli, Marin's little secretary, suddenly objected...

"Uh... Niccolò, how do you say this?" Marin was a little surprised. Still, he respected Machiavelli's opinion. After all, people are big cows.

"My lord, have you forgotten? The Holy See does not allow slave trade..."

"Uh...it seems so..."

"So, if you bought those 9,000 slaves back, you will be questioned by other nobles, and it will also make the Holy See unhappy!"

Marin thought about it for a while, indeed, doing so seems a little disrespectful to the Holy See. Although the Pope is his father-in-law, the Pope's father-in-law can't stop the crowd.

"Then don't buy it?" Marin felt a little regretful.

"That's not necessary, my lord, don't you have several colonies in the Savage Continent? Why don't these serf-born Russ slaves send to the Savage Continent colonies to be serfs? Anyway, no one sees the transport of Russ slaves to the Savage Continent. …”

Malin Xin said, it is true. In fact, Marin had planned to do so before. It's just that there is an urgent need for a large number of manpower to open up the wasteland in North Münster, so he is confused and wants to transport the more than 9,000 "father-in-law" back to the mainland to participate in the land reclamation.

However, in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, Marin still decided to buy the more than 9,000 "Father Mao" as Machiavelli said, and then send them to North America as serfs. After all, 9,000 "Mao Gonggong" who have experience in farming will definitely be able to reclaim a lot of arable land...
