Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After some persuasion, little Emma finally stopped pretending.

    Emma, ??who has recovered her true nature, is like a jumping deer, constantly wandering in front of various stalls.

    However, the street vendors in Manhattan basically sell all kinds of wild beasts, as well as meat or furs, and there is nothing that little Emma likes.

    Even if there are occasional products sold by the British, they are nothing more than crosses and iron daggers.

    It¡¯s still not as good as the 21st century. If it were the 21st century, there would be a lot of small commodities, and Emma would probably be dazzled by them.

    Looking at Emma¡¯s slightly disappointed eyes, Zhao Hongyu thought helplessly.

    Suddenly, Zhao Hongyu saw an Indian from another tribe in front of him, with a colorful parrot standing on his shoulder.

    ¡°And what that guy was selling was birds he caught from nowhere.

    "Come on, let's go over there. Look, the birds that man sells are pretty good." Zhao Hongyu walked up to Emma and said to her softly.

    Hearing this, Emma looked up.

    "Ah, what a beautiful bird."

    Seeing Emma¡¯s interest, Zhao Hongyu felt reassured.

    After the two walked over, Zhao Hongyu asked about the price.

    There is no need to negotiate the price of thirty silver coins, because this kind of bird can imitate human speech.

    After hearing the price offered by the Indian, Zhao Hongyu didn't care.

    He can afford thirty silver coins, it's no problem at all.

    The most important thing is to see if Emma likes it or not.

    ¡°Little Emma heard that this kind of bird can learn to talk, and she expressed some disbelief.

    Seeing that the little girl did not believe what he said, the Indian was not angry. He raised his hand and stroked the parrot standing on his shoulder, and then said something in English.

    Then, the parrot flapped its wings and spit out a long list of words.

    Hello!  too expensive!  Cheaper!  asshole!

    I¡¯m sorry, this Indian is from the Virginia area.

    Only the Indians in Virginia can speak English.

    Zhao Hongyu made a preliminary judgment.

    "This kind of bird must stay with its owner for a long time before it can speak. First of all, it needs a learning process, so the language it learns depends on the language spoken by the person who raises it."

    This Indian from Virginia explained to Emma patiently.

    "This is quite fun!"

    Emma¡¯s eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she really liked this kind of parrot that could learn to talk.

    Zhao Hongyu signaled, and Wang Shan, who was following him, walked over, took out thirty silver coins from his pocket and handed them over.

    She successfully bought a smaller parrot from this guy. Emma quickly held it in her arms and began to lower her head and whisper to it.

    Seeing that Emma liked it, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved.

    After the Indian took the thirty silver coins, he turned around and walked to a building nearby, which was a place dedicated to paying taxes.

    20 transaction tax, this is the rule of Manhattan.

    If you don¡¯t pay taxes, you won¡¯t be able to enter the city again.  Even outside the city, they will be expelled.

    Although the Indians in Virginia were influenced by the British, they became very philistine.  But they still understand one thing, that is, only by following the rules can they make a lot of money.

    ¡°Besides, Brother Asan across the street is not a vegetarian either.

    If you make a deal but want to leave without paying taxes, Brother Asan will take action.

    There were once unbelieving British people who wanted to leave if they didn¡¯t want to pay taxes, and were eventually expelled directly.  They even refused to stay outside the city. There are many examples of this.

    ¡°And although you have to pay taxes in the city, it¡¯s safe.

    There is no guarantee of safety outside the city.

    "Let's go, don't you want to go to the port to have a look? I just wanted to go there and have a look. There are several merchant ships coming to trade with us today, and I also want to see if they have brought any goods."

    Zhao Hongyu smiled and looked at Emma who was talking to the little parrot.

    Uh-huh.

    Now little Emma no longer cares about Zhao Hongyu. She is now focusing on the little parrot and is talking to this little guy.

    "It's a pity that this parrot is still too young, and it was the first time he heard Moxi Ganji, so he couldn't learn it yet.

    ? ?The little parrot didn't know that the city it was in had more than one language.  The language it needs to learn in the future will give it a headache.

    After leaving the commercial street, the group of people mounted their horses and ran towards the port outside the city.

    The port is not far from Manhattan, only one mile away.

    ¡°And when building Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu even laid a cement road specifically for the convenience of traffic.

    This concrete road leads directly from Manhattan to the port on the east side. The road is so spacious that in the future, even five or six carriages will be able to run side by side.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Cack!

    The horseshoes nailed with horseshoes made a crisp sound when they hit the concrete pavement.

    Since Emma couldn¡¯t ride a horse, Zhao Hongyu had to put her in front of him and let her ride with him.

    Behind Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan and nine genetic guards followed closely.

    After a while, they arrived outside the small market at the port.

    In the distance, a tall flagpole stood there, with a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind.

    Yes, Zhao Hongyu took out the five-star red flag as the national flag of his ¡®empire¡¯.

    As for Zhao Hongyu¡¯s approach, all Chinese Genetics people are very in favor of it. For this reason, Zhao Hongyu also received the benefit of Loyalty 10 from the Chinese Genetics people.

    The red flag has one large, four small and five golden stars.

    Next to a courtyard-like building at the port, in addition to the five-star red flag, there is another kind of flag.

    A red and white octagonal geometric flag with a black background fluttering in the wind in front of the building.

    This is the logo of the umbrella company in the movie Resident Evil, and this logo was borrowed by Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ¡®Copycat Umbrella¡¯ company.

    At the entrance of the Umbrella Company, dozens of strong men wearing labor protection clothing but with standard European and American looks stood there fully armed, carrying honest matchlock guns.

    This is a mercenary recruited by the Umbrella Company. Its soldiers are all British from the Virginia area. Of course, there are also a few Spaniards and Dutch living in Virginia.

    Strictly speaking, they are not Zhao Hongyu¡¯s soldiers, but the armed forces of the Umbrella Company.

    But the problem is that Zhao Hongyu owns 50% of the shares in the umbrella company, so he is also the big boss of these people.

    Although these mercenaries also wear party uniforms, the colors of these costumes are different from those of the regular army.

    The regular soldiers in Manhattan wore red clothes with white buttons, a pair of black trousers and a pair of black boots.

    Because it was late autumn, the regular army also wore a cylindrical bearskin hat and gloves, and also issued a red woolen military coat with thick cashmere.

    The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company wear green labor protection clothing, and are issued with leather labor protection boots, green military coats and "Lei Feng" cotton hats.

    This is the winter attire of the Mohicans, but now it is also issued to mercenaries.

    At the same time, these mercenaries all wore a black cuff on their left arm.  There is a pattern of three thin crescents on it, which is also the symbol of the umbrella armed personnel in the movie Resident Evil.

    I don¡¯t know if Zhang Tie and Song Hu did it out of bad taste or what, but the copycat company under Zhao Hongyu completely copied the routine of Resident Evil.

    When Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived at the port, two British merchant ships and another Portuguese merchant ship were unloading cargo.  The dock was bustling with people, and the mercenaries from the Umbrella Company were constantly patrolling the crowd with vigilant eyes.

    Zhao Hongyu had to sigh, in this era, having money is very good. If you give money, someone will work for you.

    Yes, these European guys who join the Umbrella Company as mercenaries are quite conscientious.  As long as you have enough money, you can let them attack their own country.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Of course, the Umbrella Company¡¯s armed forces are not all mercenaries, half of them are genetic people.

    After all, the company¡¯s armed forces cannot rely entirely on these mercenaries. Zhang Tie still has to be on guard.

    Therefore, the leaders of these mercenaries are basically genetic people.

    At the same time, it is also equipped with ideological guides, people who are comparable to political commissars.

    Now the first three people who follow himAs a genetic person, Zhang Tie manages the umbrella trading company and shipyard, as well as all commercial trade in Manhattan.

    Song Hu manages the city of Manhattan, the army, and the security of Manhattan.

    These two people can be said to be both civil and military, which saved Zhao Hongyu a lot of worry.

    "Wang Shan is determined to be Zhao Hongyu's dogleg for the rest of his life, so he has always been by Zhao Hongyu's side.

    However, Wang Shan manages a 500-strong Guards force, which is a private armed force that is outside the military system and directly belongs to Zhao Hongyu.

    ¡°And Wang Shan was also responsible for forming a secret intelligence force specifically used to collect intelligence.

    It can be said that Wang Shan is the leader of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s imperial guards and spy chief.

    With the development of Zhao Hongyu, a complete system will gradually be established around him, but now everything is just getting started.

    Due to the establishment of the port and the entry and docking of merchant ships, this originally deserted port spontaneously formed a small market.  Some Indians and British people from the Virginia area started doing business here.

    The most popular one is pimping and selling meat.

    After holding it in for such a long time on the sea, all the sailors couldn't hold it in anymore.  So the first thing they did when they came ashore was drink and find women.

    Zhao Hongyu will not stop this kind of thing.

    ¡°Anyway, as long as you don¡¯t do it in Manhattan, you can do it anywhere else.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site). Your support is my biggest motivation.)
