Chapter 1040: Redemption of Korean Slaves

"Charge." The Zhao Jun soldiers who followed immediately rushed forward. They approached a certain distance and quickly threw the grenade in their hands. Zhao Jun's grenade continued to explode in the Qi army's position, and Qi Jun couldn't stand the opponent's crazy attack. Suddenly lost the ability to counterattack.

Subsequently. Zhao Jun quickly occupied the Qi army's position. And the other Qi army position gave up without fighting. Qi army's fighting will is not strong overall, they face the opponent's strong offensive. After a little resistance, they immediately dispersed.

But when the other party sees that he insists on having results, he will resist. Such a posture is not good for Zhao Jun. The Zhao Jun infantry needs to advance quickly. The Qi Jun's continuous defensive position barriers are hindering Zhao Jun's marching plan.

Although Zhao Jun quickly occupied the opponent's position, the colonel was a little dissatisfied with the results, and the officer's loss made him feel distressed. Without these officers, Zhao Jun's skeleton would fall apart. The colonel felt very annoyed by how many such obstacles Qi Jun had set up. Because the infantry lacks heavy weapon support.

And the land of Wuyue at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the south. A businessman from South Korea is walking in the slave market. There is a local leader beside him.

"Come and see. The new Vietnamese slave. Come and see." On a high platform not far away, a native of Chu was shouting loudly.

"Ding Ding Ding." He held a metal utensil in his hand, while he was hitting hard with a metal club in the other hand.

"Come and see. The new Vietnamese slaves are cheap and affordable. And they are hardworking." The Chu countryman was shouting loudly.

The land of Wuyue, because it is close to the sea, is also a land of wealth and development. It is rich in various crops, such as rice, silk, and various rapeseeds. These things are all from the Qin Dynasty. What the country does not have, Qin can only import vigorously from these places.

At the same time, it is also close to the Yangtze River. Use developed water transportation. The rich wealth brought to them here, and at the same time, as more and more people in Chu State were stimulated by the slave trade in Qin State, they began to actively go out to sea to capture Vietnamese people in the South. They transported Qin's products and rested here for a while, or simply dumped the goods here to make a profit, and those merchant ships that got the goods here reloaded them on ships to go to sea.

After arriving in the south, they traded industrial products for slaves, or directly participated in it. When they returned, they transported the slaves in their hands directly to Qin, or they stayed here and directly delivered to the ships that transported them in the inland waterways. The land of Wuyue gradually prospered under the dual drive of the Yangtze River transportation trade and the sea slave trade. Many such cities as lieutenant colonel have been born here. For example, Shanghai, Gusu City, etc. are all related to the Yangtze River trade and the sea slave trade.

"Your country of Chu is more prosperous than Xinzheng." The South Korean businessman said, looking at the face of Chu with his back hands.

"There, there, we are a small place here. It can't be compared with a big city like Xinzheng. Your Xinzheng has a population of one million, but our population is only about 100,000." The leader on the side said flatly.

"Hehe." When the Korean businessman heard the leader speak like this, he was naturally happy, who wouldn't want to say that his country is strong. The businessman was naturally happy when he heard the leader say this.

"You are also developing pretty well here. At the very least, there is a style here that South Korea doesn't have." said the Korean businessman.

"That is, that is." The leader said respectfully.

"This slave trade is getting more and more developed." The Korean businessman said at this time.

"No, this slave trade is the most profitable." The leader introduced at this time.

"Those shipowners, every time they return from sea, they will make a lot of money. Those slaves, if they are shipped to Qin, the money they made will go away." The leader said excitedly.

"Especially those boat owners who did a business trip back and forth have made a lot of money. One of my encounters, that's it, he worked as a sailor on the boat. He caught a dozen slaves, and as a result, this trip came back. It's posted. Look at me. Alas." The leader said by himself. At this time, the businessman's attention shifted to the slave stage.

The real identity of the businessman is actually an intelligence captain of the new South Korean army. His task is to collect information on all aspects of countries. Their identities are changeable and have no fixed situation. Some are journalists, some are businessmen, and some are dressed as coolies, farmers who have lost their land, and so on. But their purpose is the same, that is, to collect intelligence from various countries for South Korea.

But this intelligence captain now has an annoying task. This task is to ask them to find the most profitable business, and this kind of business must be able to be implemented.

At the beginning, they thought that this task was easy to solve because the most profitable business was right in front of them, and that was the slave trade. But after they reported it, they were immediately scolded by their boss. The boss told them clearly in the reply. This kind of business can be done, but the Chu people are ahead of the Koreans, and South Korea needs to pay a considerable price to proceed. This kind of high-cost investment is not what South Korea wants most. Therefore, they ordered it to continue searching.

After the captain received the reply, he didn't know what to do. The slave trade is indeed the most profitable. However, I don't know why the boss scolded them. Later, he wanted to understand. That's because of the high cost of going to sea. And a series of disputes caused by various diplomatic issues. South Korea is a landlocked country, and it does not have an outlet to the sea. Qin State is also, and this is why Qin has a navy and did not go to sea. After all, Qin State is still a landlocked country. The same is true in South Korea, but South Korea has the consciousness of developing overseas, but they lack access to sea.

This inherent inadequate condition directly leads to the high cost of South Korea’s going to sea. They must first open up diplomatic channels. Not only have to make good relations with Qin, because after shipping, they have to rely on railway transportation to complete their material transfer. This is the first and second, they still have to deal with Chu State well. They want to get access to the sea. As a result, their cost of going to sea will suddenly become very high. These countries themselves are not good masters, and Chu will not give up the huge benefits brought by this golden waterway.

Take this into consideration. Captain Korea understood what it meant. However, it is really difficult to handle this matter.

"Come and see. These slaves are all strong goods. In order to make some hard money, we will send one Korean slave to every purchase of ten slaves." At this time, the Chu countryman on the high platform shouted loudly.

"What?" The captain originally wanted to leave here and find a quiet place, but at this time the sentence "Korean slave." suddenly attracted the captain's interest.

"What's this. Korean slaves are not as easy to use as these Vietnamese slaves." A Chu slave trader said below.

"Get out, get out." At this time, the captain violently pulled the slave trader away.

"That Korean slave, I bought it." The captain said loudly at this time.

"This." The Chu countryman obviously didn't expect such a sudden appearance.

"Boom." At this moment, the captain immediately threw a gold coin. This kind of gold coin is a small unit currency specially minted by the State of Qin. This currency was issued specifically for the Chu country, with the purpose of opening up the Chu currency market. To a certain extent, the Chu people did not believe in Qin's half-and-two banknotes. In some remote places, they rejected the banknotes.

"This." The Chu businessman obviously hasn't reacted yet.

At this time, the Korean slave suddenly raised his head and glanced.

"Follow me." Said the captain grabbed the slave and left. The people around were all talking about it.

"It looks like a Korean, a Korean, now I am proud of this." a Chu countryman commented.

"It seems that it is easy to make money from Koreans. Look at that slave trader." Another Chu countryman said. He pointed his finger at the slave trader who quickly picked up the gold coin and bit his teeth.

"Thank you for your help." In a quiet wine shop. The captain sat opposite the Korean slave.

"Why did it fall to this point?" the captain said disdainfully. For those who are in trouble to this step of the field. The captain felt very puzzled, because it was embarrassing to the Koreans.

"Oh!" The slave sighed at this time.

"Why sigh." The captain asked at this time.

"Forgive me. Zai Xia turned out to be a South Korean businessman. It was only because of this slave trade. I fell to this point." The slave lowered his head exudingly.

"Woo." The slave cried out at this time.

"This." The captain was at a loss.

"Speak slowly," the captain said at this time.

"It turned out to be a Korean businessman in Xia, and this slave trade was extremely profitable. Xia organized a group of people to hire the Chu people to sail out to sea, and Shino encountered the sea breeze. I strayed into a big island, and that big island had to go around. It takes many days to walk around," the slave said.

It turned out that the slave was the South Korean businessman. On that day, he jumped into the sea and was swept away by the waves. Who knows, he was blown to the shore of the mainland by the waves. They were rescued by past slave ships, but the slave traders in Chu had bad intentions. They often sought profit and unscrupulous. After inquiring about one or two, they immediately treated them as slaves. In this way, he was lucky enough to survive, but he was trafficked as a slave. During this period, it was a very normal thing to sell people from other countries as slaves. In this way, he was taken away, became a slave, and luckily got the help of the captain.
