- Zhao Hongyu wanted to establish a settlement in Manhattan, but Wang Shan and the others had no objection.
However, in the end this idea was not realized. The reason is very simple. There is no wood on Manhattan Island, and it is very troublesome to cut and transport wood from other places.
Because Manhattan Island faces the river on three sides and the sea on the other, it is very difficult to transport wood.
And Zhao Hongyu now has no way to purchase high-tech transportation tools, so his plan can only be shelved.
Looking at the fertile plains of Manhattan Island, Zhao Hongyu sighed in his heart.
Damn, what a shame.
Fortunately, although there is no way to use wood to build a camp on Manhattan Island, it is still possible to build a few tents that look like yurts.
In short, it is only right to make Manhattan Island your own first.
¡°After all, the Mohican tribe has given this island to themselves, so it makes no sense for them not to let people come over to declare their sovereignty.
In this way, Zhao Hongyu ordered Song Hu and Zhang Tie to lead their men to land on Manhattan Island and build dozens of yurts on the southern coast in just three days.
These yurts are very simple. They are all made of damaged bison skins that cannot be sold at a good price, and are built with pre-made wooden frames.
After these "yurts" were built, Zhang Tie and Song Hu did not live there with their men, but returned to the Mohican tribe.
They don¡¯t have the tools to cultivate the land, so even if they stay on Manhattan Island, it¡¯s useless. They might as well go back to accompany Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu has no way to deal with the current situation. He has no ability to change this fact now.
The problem he is thinking about now is to save more money and buy genetic people. When the number of genetic people is large enough, he can invest.
Population and investment, he must choose one. It is impossible for both to develop at the same time. If he does this, it will inevitably lead to him being unable to develop in both areas.
Zhao Hongyu would not do such an idiotic thing.
Yes, the Mohican tribe is now his thick thigh. With their protection, there will be no problem in terms of safety for the time being. But Zhao Hongyu has always believed that relying on oneself is the most correct thing to do.
"Sheltering under the wings of the Mohican tribe can only be a temporary thing, and it is definitely not a long-term solution."
Because lumber cannot be transported on Manhattan Island, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan could only discuss some changes to their previous plans after returning to the Mohican tribe.
No one objected to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s decision.
¡°After all, Zhao Hongyu only considers the truth.
At this point, Zhao Hongyu temporarily felt at ease and continued to do his small business without thinking about it anymore.
As the days passed, as the furs in the Mohican tribe were exhausted, Zhao Hongyu's business was no longer so prosperous.
"But if you keep a dozen furs a day, you can still make about three to four thousand yuan."
But this kind of income is really too little for Zhao Hongyu.
And Zhao Hongyu also explained the change of twelve more people around him, and he also explained to Atido.
¡°This is a soldier sent by my father to protect myself. But in the north, the war with the 'White Skins' is still going on with my own tribe, and there is no way to send more people.
For such a statement, the upper echelons of the entire Mohican tribe still believe it.
Because the goods in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s hands were transported via the Eastern Sea.
Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Hongyu's tribe to send some warriors to protect him. You must know that Zhao Hongyu is the next leader of that "umbrella" tribe, so it is understandable.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of February.
As spring enters, the ice and snow begin to melt, and everything on the earth begins to recover.
Some small animals began to move around on this primitive continent.
¡°I don¡¯t know when a marmot¡¯s burrow appeared next to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s tent.
¡°In this cave, there is a fat-headed, big-eared and naive prairie dog living inside. God knows when this little guy came to live here, but Zhao Hongyu told everyone not to disturb this little guy and let him live here peacefully.
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, this fat groundhog can finally live in peace.
Since he has nothing to do, Zhao Hongyu will drop some mustard at the entrance of its hole every day as food for this little thing.
However, due to the timid nature of the prairie dog, every time it sees Zhao Hongyu, it will stick its butt out and escape into the hole until it is safe, then come out to eat mustard.
"Heitong, I'm going to the river to pick mushrooms. Do you want to go with me?" On this morning, when Zhao Hongyu came over and walked out of the tent, he saw a little girl in a military coat walking towards him. Come.
"Haha, Emma, ??your leg is healed now, right?" Zhao Hongyu said hello with a smile. He still remembers this little girl because this girl is the daughter of the Black Bear, the girl who was accidentally injured by the White Skins.
If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Hongyu¡¯s treatment, this little girl would probably have died.
The little girl is not very old, about eleven or twelve years old.
The green military coat on her body made her look thin and small.
¡°I¡¯m going to pick mushrooms by the river, will you go?¡±
The little girl has a good impression of this savior. After all, without Zhao Hongyu, she might have died long ago.
¡°And Zhao Hongyu, an outsider, looks different from the people in the tribe. His hair is very black, and his eyes are like black crystal gems, very beautiful.
At the same time, his face is very harmonious, and he smiles no matter who he talks to, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Unlike other boys or men in the tribe, they all talk in a frisky manner or yell in an annoying way.
Therefore, this little girl named Emma likes to chat with Zhao Hongyu very much.
"Oh, Emma wants to go to the river. I haven't been there yet, and I don't have anything to do anyway, so I will accompany you to go there and have a look." Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and felt that he There is nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if you accompany the little girl to the river.
¡°And it¡¯s not safe for the little girl to go there alone. It would be very dangerous if a wild beast comes out.
You know, now that the ice and snow have melted, some beasts have woken up from hibernation and started looking for food to restore their physical fitness.
Hearing that Zhao Hongyu agreed to her invitation, the little girl's face burst into an innocent smile.
¡°The daughter of ¡®Black Bear¡¯ is really good at talking a lot from her heart. Although she is very young, you can tell at a glance that she will grow up to be a beautiful woman.
"Just because everyone has different aesthetics, the little girl who looks very beautiful to Zhao Hongyu is what the children in the Mohawk tribe call an 'ugly' existence.
The aesthetics of the Indians, both men and women, prefer a face that looks like it was chopped with an ax or a chisel, with clear edges and corners. As for the little girl Emma, ??echoing Zhao Hongyu's aesthetics is indeed gossip.
¡°In fact, Zhao Hongyu himself is not ugly in the eyes of these Mohicans.
"Just because he is Atido's brother, he saved the clan leader's life, and he also has a good personal friendship with the wizard, the Mohicans don't talk about it.
Not far away, Emma¡¯s father, Black Bear, the bravest warrior in the Mohican, walked over.
"Dad, Zhao and I are going to pick mushrooms by the river. With him here, you don't have to worry about my safety." Seeing her father walking over from a distance, the little girl shouted to him happily.
"Black Bear", who has a sinewy face, tall body and blue tattoos on his face, looks like a demon from hell. After seeing his daughter, his face showed a gentle look.
"Oh, if Zhao goes with you, then I will feel relieved."
Black Bear walked over and nodded at Zhao Hongyu. He was not a very talkative person. Although he was very grateful to Zhao Hongyu in his heart, he didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hongyu has no idea about this guy who is not good at talking. After all, his character is like this.
"Just now someone from the nearby Punk tribe informed us that they are 'white-skinned' and because the merchants from the camp are on their way to our tribe, I don't have a good impression of these 'white-skinned' people. What we need now is from you. Everything can be supplied to our tribe, so what use do those 'white-skinned' people have?"
¡®Black Bear¡¯ looked at Zhao Hongyu expressionlessly and said something.
Zhao Hongyu knew the thoughts of Black Bear, a radical Mohawk, and his plans.
But he doesn¡¯t want to get involved in the affairs of the Mohican tribe, which will bring him a lot of trouble.
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu did not respond.He kept looking at the 'Black Bear' with a smile on his face.
"I'm going to send those businessmen away today, but you have to think of a solution yourself. Those 'white-skinned' people need our furs, but these furs have been replaced by you. Maybe those greedy guys will treat you badly." It¡¯s not good.¡±
¡®Black Bear¡¯ is not stupid at all, he actually sees the essence of the problem clearly.
Zhao Hongyu was stunned. He had no idea that the dull-looking ¡®Black Bear¡¯ could actually say such a thing.
Ignoring Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reaction, the ¡®Black Bear¡¯ turned around and left.
Emma rolled up her fat sleeves and stretched out her little hand to tug on Zhao Hongyu.
"Heitong, let's go quickly. The mushrooms are the most fragrant in spring. Many children have gone. If we go late, we will be picked up."
"What the hell is this? Am I a nanny?"
Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head and gave Wang Shan instructions, then led Zhang Tie and four of his men to accompany Emma towards the Hudson River.
