If the first race to carry out ocean-going trade was neither the Portuguese who had created the great maritime era nor the “sea carriageman” the Dutch, but the Arabs who had the conditions of interest in the Arabian Peninsula.

The inhospitable and arid Arabian Peninsula has few parts of the land that can be planted and cannot carry much of its population.But the Arabian Peninsula just communicates things, and the Arabs used the huge wealth brought by land and sea trade to build a lot of huge empires, and then became the leader of Eurasia, developed a fairly splendid civilization... and then there was no more.

The old man was also wide—that was probably the only memory that the Arabs could remember.

The Arabs are now in decline, and will continue to do so.In the future, the big dogs will have money not because they have more ability, nor because they have oil under the earth, but because the world has become civilized.The five big hoodlums restrict each other and agree not to fight in person, so as not to make a big mess with guns.

During the Song Dynasty, Arab merchants were able to sail to Quanzhou for commerce.Now the ports along the way are completely controlled by the Europeans, and they have long been unable to sail far and can only do some business near the Arabian Peninsula.When the Arab merchants in Goa saw that Zhou Qingfeng had a wooden box on the desk, they were all shocked and extremely surprised.

It’s almost like a miracle!

The head of the Lord Mohammed saw the box appear, and immediately looked at Zhou Qingfeng.He said a few words of “God is supreme” in his mouth, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and greed.Zhou Qingfeng knows that he has committed the big taboo of "not showing money", but it is impossible to do big business without showing some strength.He immediately groaned coldly.

Just like this, the people sitting on the floor felt their heads buzzing and vertigo.The leaves of the palm trees trembled slightly, and the dust of the ground floated.The child who knelt behind him, immediately fainted, and even the opposite woman who had not yet retired was a dark-eyed woman, and fell with four slaves who carried her.

This groaning of the use of not much power, but with enough skills.His spiritual talent is not very good, but he can't stand him with a good sister like Wen Ruolan who likes to study spiritual science.After the fire phoenix joined the group, he had the three true yuan of "light fire ice", and Wen Ruolan designed an extremely practical magic spell for him for his spiritual characteristics.

Master Mohammed had been touching the bottom of Zhou Qingfeng.After determining that the young man was a fat sheep, he did not mind using a large row to let the "fat sheep" relax his vigilance.In any case, arrange something to eat and drink and spend no money, but the income can be very huge.It was only that he had just revealed a hint of nature and was warned by this “guest of the East”.

The two spiritual forces of hot and cold oscillate back and forth in the air, and everyone felt the pain of dozens of alternating ice and hell in a second.Lord Mohammed was closest to Zhou Qingfeng and felt it the most.His hair blown up and blown up, followed by a sweat, and then looked at Zhou Qingfeng's sneer after the fixed god, only to know that this young man is not a fat sheep, perhaps the head of the beast.

Haha, the cold field for a few seconds, Zhou Qingfeng and Mohammed laughed again, and other Arab businessmen under the palm forest laughed non-stop.Lord Mohammed also shouted a few words, regardless of what was in the box Zhou Qingfeng took out.At the banquet, several merchants stood up immediately, and after bowing respectfully to Zhou Qingfeng, he slowly retreated to prepare the best female slaves.

The player holding the oud piano came forward again, and the naked female slave who fell in the cold hustling got up, stretched his arms in the sound, and twisted the soft waist.Her plump breast peaks swung back and forth in the dance, and a pair of eyes spread frequently behind the veil.The merchants at the banquet began to cheer again, and they shouted with pats, and the scene was more enthusiastic than before.

Everything seems to be back to normal...

Guo Jiao kowtowed behind Zhou Qingfeng did not dare to look at it until the man snorted coldly.She looked at the naked slave girl who was twisting and striding, dancing, and saw that the slave was really beautiful, that the girl was really beautiful, that the dance was excellent, and that the dance was excellent, it was no wonder that he would be sent to Muhammad as a great product.Even Guo Jiao, as a woman, feels very beautiful and moving.

“Buy this slave.”Guo Jiao said in his ear.

“Oh . . . ?”The rabbi thought he hadn’t heard.

“Her dancing is great, very attentive, and very good.A talented girl like that can buy it back.I'm sure Sister Xu Bing won't be angry."Guo Jiao said, "It's good to dance a dance for our sisters on weekdays to relieve our boredom."

“All right.”He nodded his head, fearing that Guo Jian would repent.He woke up the fainted Santos and told Muhammad, “I didn’t expect this slave to dance well, I want it.”If there is the same kind, I can buy it, even if it comes."

It’s all about strengthening art, right?

Lord Mohammed nodded and said that he would not disappoint the guests of the East.

The number of female slaves dancing under the palm linden soon increased a few more, even more musicians.Guo Jiao hid behind Zhou Qingfeng and reached out to pick out what he liked.She even wanted to pick a few musicians to form a dance troupe, but the bearded guys seemed so ugly to her, giving up.

The dancing slaveess selected by Guo Jiao, Master Mohammed nods his head and agrees to sell it to Zhou Qingfeng.After a while, several Arab businessmen who had just left the scene returned.Then there was a string of unscrupulous female slaves.

According to Santos, Arab slave traders generally train the acquired slaves and then resell them, so that the selling price can be tens of hundreds or even thousands of times higher than the purchase price.

For example, the female slaves wearing milk rings are often bought at the age of five or six, and they have to be cultivated for more than ten years to sell.Dancing is only part of its talent, and all aspects of living and living need to be trained, which is extremely expensive.The non-rich and expensive that can buy such female slaves generally have to be pre-determined to obtain.Buyers are often the king of India.

This year, the Indian king of India is similar to the big dogs in the Gulf region.Their country is not good, the quality of the people is also rotten, but it is rich.

In front of these female slaves, the age is very small.Lord Mohammed made a simple explanation, Zhou Qingfeng found that these female slaves really came from many completely different races.

Nearest point is the local women's slaves in India, who are often the high-caste Aryans who were taken captive and sold because of the war between the kings.Far away from the Persian slave, white race, excellent body, tactful and affectionate.Zhou Qingfeng is strangely female slaves from the Afghanistan region of Central Asia, who are often black and yellow, but they are Western faces.

Zhou Qingfeng asked if there were any European white slaves, and Master Mohammed shook his head and said that the distance was too far, and the white slave was rarely trafficked to Goa.It is generally necessary to go to several green countries in Africa to buy white slaves in Europe.

"Very good, I'm satisfied."Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly, he chose some of his own look and liked, and suddenly more than a dozen.Considering the limited number of people the biplane can be loaded, he did not continue to buy, only to say so much first."Please make a record of the names of these female slaves, the history, and the race."“Do you sell high-quality stallions?”

“The horses?The best horses in the world are all for sale.”Lord Mohammed seems to appreciate Zhou Qingfeng's knowledge.According to Santos, the price of high-quality horses is more expensive than beautiful female slaves, and the price is extremely high.

There were domesticated Arabian horses in the hall, and the merchants took a few horses with them.Zhou Qingfeng looked forward and looked closely, these horses have bright fur, developed bones, thin and strong limbs, and gentle temperament.He immediately ordered several three or four-year-old studded horses, as well as half-year-old young horses, and the mother-in-law.

These horses and female slaves count down, the price is not expensive, it needs tens of thousands of silver dollars.

Now it’s finally time to look at the payment capacity of Zhou Qingfeng.Many Arab merchants sat down again, looking into the big wooden box that had been laid out before.Zhou Qingfeng opened the wooden box with his hands, and turned his head to Muhammad and asked, “I brought some silk and porcelain, and there are samples in this box.”Please watch.”

The box was opened, and the first thing to be taken out was a white satin.Muhammad reached out and touched the delicate and smooth surface of the satin, and handed it to the other merchants around him without saying a word.

The satin had other different colors and patterns, each of which was taken out, and Muhammad passed back with a simple look.After five or six satin, the porcelain was taken out again.Every piece of porcelain is extremely beautiful, and all of them are authentic works of art.

But Muhammad did not speak, but only looked at his eyes and passed back.Other Arab businessmen are scrutinizing and whispering.Although these things are precious, they are still within the scope of people's psychological tolerance.Especially now into the bargaining stage, no one wants to be too eager - the sales time to exaggerate, the acquisition is still stable.

But when the silk and porcelain were removed, Zhou Qingfeng first removed a shock-proof velvet cloth from the bottom of the box.He didn't want to use this velvet cloth as a commodity, just put it on again.But Muhammad grabbed the velvet cloth and kneaded it a few times, and his face was different, and he couldn’t help but say something.

Santos translated: "Muhammad said that this verb he had never seen before, not like Shatush produced on the Kashmir side.The quality is poor, but it's also good."

"Satush" is made of fine velvet of Tibetan antelope as raw materials, hand-woven textiles.It is very light and delicate, and it is excellent to keep warm.The nature of Zhou Qingfeng's use to cushion things is not a "Shatus", that is, cashmere cloth.The raw materials came from the Mongolian side and were brought by the Mingting border army - in exchange for food, the border army has taken the group into a carn.

In order to survive the winter, or in the winter also have the ability to field activities, the "Revolutionary Army" not only needs a lot of cotton cloth, but also velvet.However, the current supply of wool is small and can only be issued between senior civil servants and commanders.Because they do not use enough, it is impossible to sell externally.Zhou Qingfeng only said to this, "This thing is not a sample."

Mr. Zhou ignored the fact that before the industrial revolution, textile prices were expensive.There is no Jenny spinning machine, no hydropower loom, the efficiency of human production of textiles is very low - later generations why the British engaged in the "circle movement" desperately to raise sheep, is because the textile business is too good to earn.

For this fine velvet, Muhammad put down with a strange look.In the end, Zhou Qingfeng took a large wooden frame from his box.Muhammad looked at the wooden frame with his hands and immediately screamed, as if he had seen a ghost—the last thing that came out was a mirror.

For the ships of Zheng He's fleet, I always have some doubts - the 20,000 tons of wooden warships, like "a gun to spoil dozens of miles", with the ancient venrit deliberately exaggerated.
