After reaching an agreement with the Sami people, Marin arranged two merchant ships of about 180 tons (more than 200 tons of merchant ships were arranged to transport ewes to Western Sahara to "find a boyfriend"), and planned to go to the Narvik fishing village to build a trading port. Later, Marin planned to use it as a trading center with the Sami people.
Klaus, who looked very much like Santa, was very happy to drive three small fishing boats of the Sami people and serve as a guide for Marin's two merchant ships. For the Sami people who live in the polar regions and are scarce, a good life will come. Because Marin promised that in addition to salt, he would also provide the Sami people with various daily necessities, including cloth, needlework, bows, arrows and hunting knives for hunting. These were all urgently needed by the Sami people.
The Norwegians and the Danes did not regard the Sami people as humans, but only regarded them as barbarians. Therefore, it was very difficult for the Sami people to be suppliers of supplies. Every year, the Danes would only send one or two ships to the Sami areas, which were the most urgently needed salt, to sell them at high prices, buy reindeer fur and other supplies at low prices, and squeeze the Sami people. As for the hunting bows and arrows and hunting knives that the Sami people urgently needed, the Norwegians did not give them at all, because they were afraid that the Sami people would threaten their rule after they possessed weapons.
But Marin was not worried about this. Why? The Sami people were hoping to provide them with supplies. Even if they had weapons, they would dare to use them on their subordinates? Even if the Sami people were unable to think about it and wanted to be a robber, they could only go to the south to grab the Norwegians. It was impossible to cross the sea to come to Friesland to rob them. Therefore, Marin was very relieved to buy weapons for the Sami people.
Moreover, the Sami people do need weapons as much as possible. Because, in their living areas, there are dangerous creatures such as grizzly bears, polar bears and snow wolfs. If the Sami people have no weapons, they can only watch these creatures rage and hide in the house to defend themselves. However, with sufficient and excellent weapons, they can hunt these very threatening guys. In this way, the reindeer domesticated by the Sami people will not be preyed by the wolves.
After Klaus left, Marin came up with inspiration and told Little Caesar a fairy tale about Santa Claus. Little Caesar, who was already talking very well, was fascinated by it. In fact, let alone Little Caesar, even Angela and Ferris were attracted by the fairy tale. Only Robert, the only Little Robert, was too young, and he didn't understand what Marin was talking about...
I heard that Santa Claus was driving a cart pulled by nine reindeer to give gifts to the children. Little Caesar happened to see the nine reindeer tied to the palace yard, so he strongly asked Marin to use the nine reindeer to pull the cart...
When Marin saw that these nine reindeer seemed to be castrated bucks, they were all very gentle, and they seemed to be used to pull carts. Because, on these nine reindeer, they were also wearing reins and shoulder covers for pulling carts...
However, the nine reindeer pulling the cart together was too powerful, so Marin used one of them to make a deer cart and put Caesar on to play, which made Caesar very happy.
...
A few days later, Arte's fleet transporting Maomei brought back a group of Maomei. This was the last batch of Maomei captured by the Principality of Ryazan. According to Arte, the Crimea Mongogirekhan was ready to fight for the autumn harvest and then robbed another wave of Maomei. At that time, Maomei and the grain were snatched together.
Marin rolled his eyes when he heard this - it was indeed a robber country, and robbery was all about robbery. After the autumn harvest, it was the time when the countryside had the most food. As long as the nobles were transporting the food into the city and going to the countryside for a walk, there would definitely be a lot of food. Moreover, Marin did not think that apart from those strong castles, there was a village with the Ross that could withstand the attacks of the Crimean Tatar cavalry.
"By the way, Duke, Mongkogirekhan asked me to ask you, are the castrated men of Ryazan who have been used easily now?"
Malin didn't understand why, but he still sent someone to check what happened to the first batch of unlucky Russians who came with the ship.
Arte explained:
"It's like this, the sales of the 10,000 middle-aged men captured by Mongkogirekhan, were encountered. Before, because I taught them how to disinfect them. Now, the 10,000 middle-aged men have been castrated, but 9,900 survived, which made the Crimeans very excited. Then, they promoted the castrated Ryazan people everywhere, but they encountered problems..."
"I encountered a problem? What's the problem? Are there any flaws in those Liang Zan men?"
"That's not, that's right. The main sales direction of Crimean slaves is Ottoman Turkey. However, it's a coincidence. Last year, Oman pirates in the Arab region (the ancient Omans were very awesome and often invaded East Africa) caught thousands of strong black slaves in East Africa, and they were all castrated. So, the market for Ottoman Turkish male slaves was saturated last year. Therefore, the 9,900 male slaves from the Crimean Khanate suddenly became unsold..."
"Uh... this is really unlucky. Then, this guy Mongogirehan wants to sell me the unsold goods?"
“It seems like this…”
At this time, Marin sent his subordinates to investigate the whereabouts of the castrated Russians.
"Sir, I have investigated it clearly. Those Ross slaves are working as porters in the granary in the north of the city, specializing in loading and unloading grain. For several months, these slaves have been very honest and willing to work hard. Although they have a lot of food, they work a lot and are not lazy. At night, they sleep as soon as it gets dark and never cause trouble..."
Marin's mouth twitched - he was castrated, what else can he do tonight? Whether it's looking for women or gay friends, he is powerless. So he can only sleep as soon as it gets dark...
"So, these Ross slaves are quite honest and willing to work hard?"

Marin turned to Alter again:
"What do you say in Crimea?"
"Where are Crimea? I heard from the Tatars that in the past few months, except for the period when they were castrated and recovered from injuries, the 9,900 Ross slaves were all helping Mongkogirekhan build palaces. It seems that the slaves seem to be very honest. After all, they are serfs from the Principality of Ryazan..."
"It's a serf? This is good. It just so happens that the Beiminster area needs serfs to reclaim land. Then buy it, it's just for reclaim land and farming!" Marin said happily.
"No, sir, this will affect your reputation!"
At this time, Machiavelli, the little secret of Marin next to him, suddenly spoke out against it...
"Uh...Nicole, how do you say this?" Marin was a little surprised. However, he still respected Machiavelli's opinion. After all, he was a big shot.
"Sir, have you forgotten? The Holy See does not allow slaves to be traded..."
"Uh...it seems to be..."
"So, if you buy those more than 9,000 slaves back, it will be questioned by other nobles and will also cause displeasure in the Holy See!"
Marin thought about it and indeed, doing so seemed a bit unworthy of the Holy See. Although the Pope was his father-in-law, the Pope's father-in-law couldn't stop everyone from talking.
"Then I won't buy it?" Marin felt a little regretful.
"No need, sir, don't you have a few colonies in the wilderness? Why don't these Ross slaves from serfs be sent to the wilderness colonies as serfs? Anyway, no one saw the Ross slaves being transported to the wilderness continent..."
Marinxin said, it was true. In fact, Marin had planned so before. However, now he urgently needed a large number of people to open up Beiminster, so he was confused to transport the more than 9,000 "father-in-law" back to his hometown to participate in the land reclamation.
However, in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, Marin decided to buy more than 9,000 "Mao's Mau" as Machiavelli said, and then send it to North America as serfs. After all, 9,000 "Mao's Mau" who have experience in farming will definitely be able to reclaim a large amount of arable land...
