“Slave trade, hehe&h.e.l.lip;” Leylin snickered. While Marquis Louis’ business was focused on the slave trade, Leylin wouldn’t believe that the Baltic archipelago wasn’t involved in the sugar trade and the like. At the most, they would be side businesses is all.
He knew very well that if he was successful in forming a supply chain with this, his profits would be ma.s.sive! It would bring about a lot of envy and hatred, causing conflict with Marquis Louis.
However, even if he didn’t delve into these two very profitable businesses, the Faulen Island wasn’t going to be ignored anyway. What was the point of trying to get along with them?
As he was speaking to Jacob, a group of slaves were rushed along to the beach by his soldiers, accompanied by carriages of food and the like.
“Jacob, let’s go and take a look as well.” Leylin brought Jacob to the front of the group.
“Young master!” The soldiers bowed, and the slaves lowered their heads, peeking at their future master with humble eyes.
“Are these&h.e.l.lip; the natives of the outer sea islands?” Leylin knew that most of the slaves traded in the outer seas were natives. In fact, the higher grade ones were picked out and sent back to the mainland. Transporting slaves from the mainland to the outer seas was expensive, and slave traders would be satisfied if they didn’t make a loss with such a thing.
The natives here were very short, coming up to Leylin’s shoulder at the tallest. Most did not have any clothing, revealing their thin limbs and tanned skin. It reminded Leylin of chimps.
