Chapter 327 Troubadour
ps: ask for tickets, ask for subscription
As for the blacks, Edward still really minds.
Although the blacks are strong and strong, and work hard (in the case of whipping), later experience tells us that if there are too many such things, they must cause great damage to English society.
For example, under the rule of the white people, South Africa has become the number one brother in Africa, entered the ranks of developed countries, and even made a few atomic bombs silently. If the situation continues, South Africa's future is limitless.
However, no matter how well you develop, you are not as good as others.
As a result, the blacks who came to work in South Africa relied on the number, seized power in an instant, and turned South Africa into a developing country. It is really an eye-opener!
In order to maintain the purity of the Anglo-Saxon race, and also to maintain his own rule, the great King Edward VI learned the fine traditions of the Arabs, and ordered the House of Lords and the House of Commons to enact laws:
Any person or organization that transports such black races into lands ruled by the royal families such as England, Scotland, and Wales must ensure that they must be castrated.
Moreover, the owner of the purchase must register with the government and pay the due slave tax.
—Time, June 1st, 1553.
Yes, my Majesty the King has not missed a chance of making money by establishing such a tax.
Moreover, Edward also stipulated that black females are not allowed to be imported, and offenders will be punished with a ransom of a hundred times their value, and they will also need to be returned to their original place of ownership.
In this way, Edward did not believe that the blacks in England would continue to multiply.
However, in this way, due to the unqualified castration technology, many blacks died innocently and painfully, which led to the appreciation of the price of black slaves.
But the slave attributes and strong physique of blacks still make various factory owners and even ranchers flock to them.
After all, black people are still very familiar with the work of shepherding.
Cheap and durable black slaves flooded into England like flowing water, filling England's large and small factories and even pastures.
The large-scale plush products flowed to Spain, Portugal, and the Mediterranean coast along with merchant ships.
brought huge wealth to England, and also brought a lot of taxes to His Majesty the King.
For example, tariffs will increase by 10% per year.
Back to the topic.
The conversation in the tavern was lively, and people were also discussing it lively, but they couldn't help sighing in their hearts while they were talking.
"Bristol Port, what a magical place!"
Southampton port, although due to the prosperity of trade, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, but black slaves are rare.
One is because this year, His Majesty the King released the right to import black slaves from other ports, and did not allow Bristol to monopolize it all the time.
The second is because of the monopoly position of Bristol port, even if other ports are released, businessmen still prefer to take a long way and habitually go to Bristol port.
Thinking of this, everyone's interest in the long-known black slave suddenly decreased a lot.
Everyone lives in the Port of Southampton, and they are naturally in a bad mood when their Port of Southampton is surpassed by the Port of Bristol.
Port of Bristol.
A city in southwest England, also a young city, established in 1542, the entire urban area is run through the city by the Avon River, and the northeast borders on the north and Somerset and South Gloucestershire.
Because of its proximity to Ireland, it happened that the Tudor monarchs were keen to develop Ireland, so the city prospered.
Of course, the more important reason is that to the left of it is the endless Atlantic Ocean, and it is the best port to go to the Atlantic Ocean.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe launched a wave of developing the New World of America, and Bristol, facing the Atlantic Ocean, was even more of a slave trade center, and a large number of slaves were traded to America.
According to historical records, from 1700 to 1807, more than 200 slave ships docked in Bristol, and more than 500,000 black Africans were sold to America as slaves.
"Excuse me, may I ask, are you talking about the Port of Bristol?"
Just as the voices of everyone's discussion gradually became smaller, a burst of greetings suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
The tall and thin man sitting in the middle spoke with a voice and looked up. There was a young man looking gentle in front of a small fire pond nearby. He had a sorry expression on his face and looked at him sincerely. If you don’t know, I thought he was interested in men!
"Sir, I'm really sorry to bother you. I overheard you talking about the Port of Bristol just now. Excuse me, is the Port of Bristol famous?"
The young man's voice is sweet and sounds more comfortable than that of a woman, making people immersed in it unconsciously.
Although his face is heavily weathered, it can still be seen that he is a handsome young man, even with an extremely handsome appearance, which makes the tall and thin man feel dazed.
As he spoke, the handsome man got up and gradually walked over. Only then did the tall and thin man notice the harp in his hand, and then suddenly realized that he was a troubadour.
It is rare to see a troubadour in England recently. The tall and thin man also stood up and greeted him friendly.
"Hello, sir, the port of Bristol is indeed famous!"
The tall and thin man said in his mouth, but his eyes were full of doubts.
"Oh! I just arrived in Southampton the other day, from Calais, a troubadour!"
The troubadour, Besven, naturally sensed the doubts on the other side, and smiled softly.
"So that's the case, then, if you don't mind, you can come over and I will explain it to you!"
The tall and thin man glanced at the troubadour, thinking that he might be of noble origin, a member of the Troubadour among the troubadours.
Trobardo and Trobal are two major factions of troubadours, both of which originate in Italy, while the former are mostly noble knights, with profound culture and solid musical skills. Works such as Charlie the Lionheart are all is their writing.
So, when the tall and thin man saw this young poet of the same status, he immediately invited him.
Being with these ordinary people, he looks extraordinarily rustic, and you must know that his family was originally a baron. Although he was masturbated by Henry VIII, the long history and culture are still not comparable to these assholes.
Others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand that Alta?r Stockton, who had always been arrogant and stubborn and difficult to communicate with, turned into a pleasant face and even received a stranger.
