Eagle Byzantium

The answer seems to have come out.

The purpose of special goods also requires careful and meticulous classification arrangements.

So Gawain raised his hand, indicating that the "special goods" purchased by the three teams could be withdrawn. Several guard sailors and guards came over carrying weapons. The girl with charcoal eyebrows in the queue of the Adigais suddenly burst into surprise. She ran out with shouts, her worn skirt flying, Andreev and Wright immediately rushed forward, hugged her waist , preventing this daring girl from getting close to the great patron, the girl was strangled so that her feet were dangling in the air, her snow-white skin began to turn red, and she cried in broken Greek to Gawain, who was frowning, "Don't send it away." I can go and do whatever you want with Your Highness, please don’t send me back to my alcoholic father and brother!”

Hearing the girl's cry, the other Adigai women lowered their heads with painful expressions on their faces.

"The status of women in Adigai is very, very low. Their fathers, brothers and husbands can sell her for the price of a bottle of wine." Boots were walking up and down on the steps, and Wright followed the master holding a manual. The guarantor behind him breathlessly explained the phenomenon just now, "Grand guarantor, there is also a statistical document of mine sandwiched here, which is clearly visible at a glance."

Gawain turned around briefly, quickly pulled out the loose-leaf paper from the manual, and then reached the end of the spiral staircase - in front of the gate of the Acropolis Hall, several soldiers on guard saw the patron walking towards them along the corridor. , immediately took back the halberd in his hand and lowered the long tassel on his helmet to salute.

In the hall, all the Sixth Division, Brotherhood members, and Dugelius Commanders all stood up to salute. Staurachos and a group of attendants were shuttled around to serve drinks and meals.

Anna was already sitting behind the curtain, with two imperial officials standing beside her. When she saw Gawain, she quickly made a gesture to express her condolences.

Gawain quickly returned the gesture, saying, "It's really hard work coming from Tarsus." Then the chief patron breathed a sigh of relief and stood in the center of the hall.

Then he slowly raised the piece of loose-leaf paper, "There is only one topic in this meeting, and that is to make up for the manpower gap in the mines, plantations and ordnance workshops of Tarsus. I need to purchase Saqaliba. Lots of Saqaliba.”

"This is just a foreign word to cover up shame, but everyone who believes in the Lord understands that His Highness is engaged in the sinful trade of buying slaves." On the seat on the left, Patriarch Anselm stood up angrily while twisting his rosary beads and took the lead in objecting. "My Lord, I will do my best to protest against such behavior. In addition, in the country of Tarsus, which is full of free people, the vast majority of the citizens will not allow such behavior to happen."

Most members of the Six Divisions later agreed with the patriarch's remarks.

"Your Excellency, Patriarch, I hope you can understand that when you stand here and say that Tarsus is a 'free country', it is because of the bloody battles of my army - the large hospital is bathed in the glory of the Lord's gift, and every day I can make our station receive two thousand pilgrims; now even the pagan Oghuz cavalry is willing to go through fire and water for me. It is I who protect the law with my sword. And the spirit of freedom has taken root in this land, and before my army came here, which Christian was not enslaved on the whip of the heathen, moaning miserably?" Gawain raised the loose-leaf paper and argued. , strongly expressing that the country of Tarsus is now protected by the army and money, and the purchase of slaves in large quantities is to generate a better army and save more money.

The entire hall suddenly fell into fierce debates and quarrels. Some were opposed to Tarsus' participation in such trade, while others, such as Andreev and Wright, expressed understanding.

"What do you think?" When the little sunfish put the soft earplug in Anna's ear, preparing to block the noise, Anna gently pushed it away, and then asked Hertomia and Agnes. Royal ink officer.

"I have no objection. The 'ladder' waterwheel workshop on the Alamein River will be completed soon. I know the inside story. Putting aside the moral aspect, it does require a lot of manpower. As for whether the operator is a farmer or a slave, In my opinion, there is not much difference." Agnes shrugged, then knelt down, peeled a tangerine, and put it into Anna's mouth.

"Oson girl, what about you?" Anna continued to ask while eating tangerines happily.

To Anna's surprise, Hertomia also agreed with this. She clasped her slender hands demurely with a serious expression, "Your Highness Caesar, I must clarify that I am a pragmatic person. You will be here soon. The question should be put to end such boring disputes - what benefits will such trade bring to our country, and how should the patronage balance between morality and practical benefits."

"Ah, I forgot. You are an Orthodox Christian, but your husband is a Catholic from Germany. You study Greek economics, but you are also the teacher of Masud and Xiya." The little sunfish took the opportunity to tease.

"I don't think there's anything strange about this, Agnes Plani. The wind on this plateau comes from three oceans, and that's why I've brought up a person like me who knows how to adapt to changes. Naturally, and you, who comes from a famous family on Lesbos Island, It's different, I hope you can understand." The Orson girl continued to lower her eyes without being humble or arrogant.

The little sunfish suddenly felt bored, so she closed her mouth and stopped fighting. She and the Orson girl never fought for long, because the other side always retreated before the formation and could not explode any Khitan fire.

After closing the curtain, Anna, who was seeking good advice, immediately turned around and shouted to everyone present, "Please calm down, everyone. I don't want the unnecessary debate to continue all afternoon."

Everyone present immediately fell silent and retreated to their seats. The mushroom-headed County Sheriff Andodat, who had never spoken or made any move, came out at this moment and bowed to Anna, "Please forgive me, I am on tour in the county. The court still has a full fourteen matters and cases that need to be dealt with immediately, and time cannot be wasted in such a meeting. Please ask the patron and Caesar to reach an agreement as soon as possible, whether it is successful or not. "

"Now let's ask the Patron to speak. No one is allowed to interrupt while he is speaking, including me, who is originally opposed to this matter." Anna raised her hand and demanded.

"Now we have three routes to obtain slaves. The first one is the city of Bari. On this route, we mainly rely on sea transportation from commercial allies. We can arrange for people to go to the market in Prague to buy in bulk, where most of them are Slavic slaves. Then it passes through the pass of the Alps and is transshipped at the port of Bari; the second route is to purchase black Moorish slaves from the desert through the Egyptian market, which is also a sea route; and the third route is to purchase from the Ukxing Sea. Adigai Slave.”

"I'm sorry, my husband, I didn't let you talk about route planning. The threshold of 'reason' has not been crossed yet!" Anna interjected behind the curtain, but of course she could interject, it is only natural...

On the seat over there, Sheriff Andodat raised his forehead, rolled his eyes, rubbed the bridge of his nose a few times with his fingers, and smiled wryly. (To be continued ~^~)
