For Leeds and his party, what they are doing is [Arriving at the port, making big purchases, and leaving the port], and killing the fleet of rookie chickens that are not looking forward to making money and killing them, can only be regarded as a small episode in the journey. There is nothing to care about other than providing a little fun.
After all, for them who get out of the way after purchasing, whether it is causing Spain to lose its position as a maritime hegemon, or changing the distribution pattern of European countries in the sea lanes and colonies, it has nothing to do with them.
So, thanks to the thoughtful design of a profiteer who was more than a month late, the "God of Fortune", which sailed at more than twice the speed, greatly shortened the voyage time and came to the southern tip of Africa, in a commercial port established by European colonists. The tricks are repeated, and the arrogance is so arrogant that it is a little mentally retarded, and it attracts the Chamber of Commerce from all over the world to come to trade spontaneously, and quickly and in large quantities buy various commodities in the region.
Of course, "Fortune Chamber of Commerce" did not purchase the most famous commodity in Africa - black slaves.
"Oh~~! This girl can't stand it anymore!" The fundamental reason is that the [merchant shipping system] does not accept the setting of live trading, but even if there is no such restriction, they will not buy black slaves out of moral considerations... This is not , Zhang Jing, who originally followed the sisters to go shopping with Leeds, couldn't help but feel the sense of justice of the Jianghu heroine after seeing the scene of the slave traders brutally escorting black slaves.
Liz hurriedly reached out and grabbed her, "Please, there is still business with Sedum, don't cause trouble by killing people in the street."
"Can you endure this?!" Zhang Jing glared angrily.
There is no such thing as "I saw you wrong" and "you are such a person". After all, she has experienced so many things, and she knows very well who her husband is. It's just inherited from my old lady Zhang Qingyu's bad temper attack, no matter who is the first.
Liz smiled and said, "I can bear it, these black people are not mine, they can't brush my initial favorability by their looks." If the opposite is a clear and beautiful elf slave, or a cute and pretty orc Slave, Liz, who is bent on expanding the harem, has already shot a hero to save the beauty. Is it still Zhang Jing's turn
"you!"
Before Zhang Jing's attack, Liz changed the subject, "It's just that it's not a situation that needs to be endured now."
"...Don't pant when you talk like this!" After hearing what she wanted to hear, Zhang Jing's anger subsided, and she turned to watch the ragged black slaves drifting away under the slave trader's shout.
Murong Jiu next to him sighed secretly and asked for his cousin, "So, let's do it at night?"
In fact, Miss Murong Jiu didn't care about the life and death of these dark-skinned guys at all. Living with Leeds, she didn't learn a little sense of justice as a hero, but the original "Miss Bingxue is smart, and she is invincible in the world." The superiority syndrome has returned, and it is more serious than before.
However, Murong Jiu is very clear about Liz's preferences, which gives her a sense of superiority, and also knows that the average moral value level of the team established by Liz will take the initiative to cater to it~ Judging from actual actions, she is also a female hero. Not the kind that deceives the world.
Liz shook his head, and his face became a little more serious, "No, in fact, I'm still considering whether to help..."
"?" Zhang Jing, Murong Jiu, Solanum Kui, Wang Yuanji, Liu Mengli were puzzled at the same time.
"When you were all on the boat, I knew about the existence of the slave trade, and I sent 9S to investigate this aspect of the intelligence." After accumulating a batch of experience in Lisbon, the android boy didn't seem to be able to get started. Little, the reports submitted will not be questioned frequently. "Actually, in this world, the black slave trade is legal..."
It is not ruled out that in a few hundred years, this will become "the most shameful and despicable page of human history" in textbooks, but in the current era of great seafaring, this is an open trade method.
The slave traders set off from Europe and arrived in Africa by boat. After capturing black people in Africa through various despicable methods, they transported the black slaves to the Americas, sold the black slaves to the plantation owners in the Americas, and finally brought back the gold and industrial raw materials of the Americas. In Europe, the well-known "triangular trade" is by no means an illegal or criminal activity.
"This is normal... Those in power open the door for their own interests." Wang Yuanji has no doubts about this.
"That's not what I mean," Liz shook his head. "What I'm saying is that it's legal even in most small African countries."
"Does this mean that they also don't mind their compatriots being sold as slaves?" Nightshade said in surprise.
"In fact, most of the black slaves were captured by their own people. Europeans have long passed the period of capturing people by themselves. Now they only need to sell something to the African chiefs, and the chiefs will vigorously capture slaves and sell them to them. ' Liz shrugged.
This is not to say that Europeans are soft-hearted, but because it is difficult to enter the interior of Africa, malaria and climate problems are difficult to solve, and they can only change to a more convenient routine.
"...This..." This is the first time Liu Mengli has heard such an appalling thing. She had thought about "not my race, their hearts must be different", only then did she know that "same race cannibalism" can also reach this level.
You must know that this is not an individual exception, it is already a common phenomenon!
"To put it bluntly, slavery is generally recognized all over the world." European countries are no longer slave societies, but this does not prevent them from recognizing slavery for blacks. "This situation... For example, you all come from similar styles. The world should be the same."
"..." Zhang Jing, Murong Jiu, Solanum Kui, Wang Yuanji, and Liu Mengli looked at each other.
Their worlds are very different. Some people can't even fly on the top of a tree, while others fly in the sky, but they can see it with their eyes, and they are full of familiarity.
"A high-ranking official committed a serious crime, he himself was beheaded to show the public, and then the males of his family were exiled for 3,000 miles, and the female relatives became official prostitutes - you will think they are pitiful?" Liz smiled.
"..." The little wives could guess what he was going to say, and they didn't answer.
Liz didn't need them to answer, "But you never became traitors because you wanted to save them, overthrow the rule of the imperial court, and build a beautiful country without the guilt of being linked to the Nine Clans - why is that?"
Everyone was silent, this time thinking.
"To put it bluntly, it's a cultural issue." After a circle, he returned to the topic. "Now people don't care about it. We ran over and killed all the slave traders and chiefs. Does it really make sense...?"
