- After confirming that there was a large gold mine vein here, Zhao Hongyu asked Song Hu to leave a mark, and then he took Emma and everyone back.
Now that the gold mine has been discovered, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to waste time. He must put it into production immediately.
But since he was short of manpower, he thought that he should ask Artido to borrow some manpower.
Anyway, the Mohican tribe has a population of more than 10,000, so there should be no problem in borrowing some people to work.
¡°Besides, if he doesn¡¯t want to borrow it, I can exchange it with rice or Erguotou and pickled mustard.
As long as they find gold for themselves in this stream, then they can exchange the goods on hand with them.
This matter is a good thing for him and the Mohicans. I think Atido and his father would not refuse such a thing.
The Mohicans don¡¯t need gold, they need iron pots, iron axes, and machetes. But he doesn¡¯t need these things, what he needs is gold!
Song Hu just grabbed seven or eight gold particles casually.
Zhao Hongyu secretly sold the time-space trading device to the little girl Emma while she was not paying attention.
"You don't know if it's not for sale, but you'll be shocked if it's for sale."
The content of gold is very pure, and the system gave a high price of 330 yuan (the price will fluctuate with the market in the 21st century). The gold that Song Hu caught was actually 20 grams.
This is just a casual grab, and it actually contains 20 grams.
6,600 yuan! It was just such a light and casual grab.
If you have all the equipment for screening gold, wouldn¡¯t you be able to harvest more gold in a day?
After swallowing his saliva, Zhao Hongyu felt that his future was shining with golden light and was very bright.
Emma raised her head and looked sideways at the little brother who was caught in sexual intercourse. She felt that the little brother was too weird today.
Isn¡¯t it just a bunch of useless things? Why did he become like this as soon as he saw it?
It¡¯s so stupid to lose your mind over a bunch of useless things.
The little girl Emma shook her head helplessly.
Those yellow things cannot be eaten, nor can they be made into hard axes or utensils, so they are really useless at all.
Only a silly person like my little brother would be so concerned.
Emma feels that she should tell her father when she goes back, and then let her father persuade her little brother.
She doesn¡¯t want her little brother to waste all his energy on these useless things.
Men, you should go hunting and fight those ferocious bison! Just be a warrior!
Of course, it would be great if we could kill a few ¡®white skins¡¯.
In Emma¡¯s heart, her little brother will definitely become the kind of hero she longs for. So, how could she see her little brother doing such a 'brainless' thing.
Emma reached out and grasped the large piece of metal in her coat pocket, and made a decision in her heart.
Emma picked up the metal and put it in her pocket when no one was paying attention.
If Zhao Hongyu had seen it, he would have shouted out his name.
Gold nugget!

"Black Bear, Lawrence said that he will take care of all your tribe's fur goods this year. He will trade with you with iron products, and the quantity is guaranteed to satisfy you!"
An Indian wearing a European-style cotton coat, with a head shaped like a modern hippie, but with an indigenous appearance was speaking to the Mohican's most courageous warrior, Black Bear, in the "meeting" tent of the Mohican tribe.
Beside him sat a fat European man with blond hair and blue eyes.
Several tall white guards wearing leather armor stood behind the fat man. More guards stood outside the tent.
Opposite them, Black Bear and Atido sat, as well as the wizard, the old patriarch Samara and some tribal elders. With straight faces, they listened quietly to the 'Indian traitor' after he finished what he wanted to say.
The guy who talks to the black bear, wears a European-style cotton coat, but has an Indian face is called Sandoli. He belongs to the Punk tribe, a tribe of 3,000 people in southern Mohican. He has a good relationship with the British. They were often used by the British to attack the surrounding Indians.
As long as there are small tribes that show a little bit of hostility, they will be wiped out under the attack of the British and the Punks, and the women of those exterminated tribes will become slaves of the Punks and the British.
whenHowever, occasionally the punks would use the British to destroy their enemies.
The British will also use the Punks to attack other tribes and occupy the fertile lands of those tribes to cultivate farmland or minerals.
As for the excuse for war, it is very easy to find, isn't it?
"Black Bear", who has never had a good impression of "White Skin", didn't have much change in the expression on his face.
Not only him, but also Artido, who has always been timid and fearful of not having much opinion, could not see any intention on his face.
This is a bit confusing for Sandoli, who has been dealing with them.
At the same time, when he arrived this time, he saw too many changes in the Mohican tribe that confused him.
At one point, he wondered if he had found the wrong tribe, or even that the Mohican tribe no longer existed, or had been annexed by other Indian tribes.
In such a large Mohican tribe, both boys and girls are wearing green clothes. They look as clumsy as fat brown bears, but from their expressions, they seem to be very comfortable.
Even the "white-skinned" people who came with me to trade with the Mohican tribe showed interest in this kind of clothing.
At the same time, the Mohican tribe, which rarely trades with the "white skins" and is cautious, has a lot of "refined" weapons.
Those black iron axes and machetes, as well as the daggers used by the soldiers to cut meat, reflected the cold light from time to time under the sunlight, which made Sandoli squint his eyes.
Logically speaking, the Mohican tribe, which does not deal with the "white skin" very much, should not have such sophisticated iron weapons.
This makes absolutely no sense.
Such doubts have been lingering in Sandoli's mind since he entered the Mohican tribe, but he couldn't figure it out anyway.
"Baker", the wholesale merchant who followed Sandori to this place, had a small calculation in his mind.
In the eyes of this shrewd British small businessman, the Mohican tribe is a very powerful tribe. They have a large population and sophisticated weapons.
A tribe of 13,000 people is a well-deserved hegemon in this coastal area.
Even if all their British colonies were added together, there would not be as many people as the Mohican tribe.
Therefore, for such a tribe, Baker personally believes that they should get along well with and win over each other. And such a powerful Mohican tribe will definitely bring more benefits to the British than a small tribe like the Punk tribe.
It¡¯s just that such a large tribe is not easy to win over and control.
He must think of a way to weaken the Mohican tribe.
From the British point of view, having such a powerful tribe around their colonial camp is not necessarily a good thing.
In addition, the Indians are not all easy to deal with, so Baker has some small ideas.
The most important problem is that Baker also wonders where the 'sophisticated' iron weapons of the warriors in the Mohican tribe come from.
The Indians did not have metallurgical skills, so it was impossible for them to build such sophisticated weapons.
For the Indians, the most convenient and convenient way for them to obtain iron tools and weapons was to exchange them for furs and gold that were "useless" to them.
Europeans have understood this principle for more than a hundred years, and the Indians have not changed.
Baker doesn¡¯t think anything unexpected is happening to the Indians now. So from Baker's point of view, the appearance of such sophisticated iron weapons among the Mohican tribe must have been caused by the French guys in the north.
Nowadays, every country on the European continent wants to get a piece of the American continent and reap the benefits from here.
Therefore, it should be understandable that such a situation occurs.
The issue that worries Baker the most is how good the relationship between these Indians of the Mohican tribe is with the French. This is what he needs to pay most attention to.
Although the relationship between the British and the French in this era was not as serious as the Seven Years' War more than a hundred years later, some minor conflicts were not without them.
Whether it is the French or the British, they will instigate Indian tribes from time to time to attack Indian tribes that have a good relationship with each other, cutting off the opponent's wings and weakening their strength.Even the Spaniards and Portuguese occasionally get involved.
Thinking about these issues, Baker felt a little overwhelmed.
"Sandoli, ask these Mohicans where they got the ridiculously fat clothes they wear and the sharp weapons on the waists of the warriors."
As soon as Baker finished speaking, an Indian girl, also wearing a green military coat, came in front of him and Sandori, holding a large wooden bowl in both hands and lowering her head respectfully.
This is the etiquette of the Indians. When guests come to their tribe, they will treat them like this.
Although the Mohicans are not too fond of the "white-skinned" people, after all, Sandoli and Baker came with good intentions, so the Mohicans can only entertain them and their group with the standards of treating guests.
Baker had dealt with Indians a lot, and he understood that this was the way they treated their guests, so he didn't show any fuss.
??And the same is true for Sandori.
However, when the two of them set their eyes on the wooden bowl in the hands of the girl kneeling in front of them, their eyes suddenly opened wide, as if they had seen something incredible.
After seeing the expressions on the two people¡¯s faces, the Mohicans sitting around in the tent raised their lips slightly and winked at each other
