- "Sir, those two Spaniards want to see you. You have been ignoring them for many days. Do you want to see them this time?"
In the umbrella company at the dock port, Zhang Tie was sitting calmly in his office. A genetic person assigned to him as an employee knocked on the door and came in to report.
"No, these two guys have no good intentions. We are exposing them." Zhang Tie told Zhao Hongyu the news. After returning, he followed Zhao Hongyu's attitude and kept treating the two Spaniards coldly.
This made Gonzalez and Francisco very helpless.
They didn¡¯t know what was going on. Officials from the Song Empire never wanted to meet them.
During these days, Gonzalez and Francisco visited Manhattan and the port.
Although they slowly got to know and get in touch with the city of Manhattan, they found that their preconceived views had been completely subverted.
The Song Empire was not the indigenous civilization they thought. They had their own unique culture.
This culture is completely different from that of continental Europe.
And this kind of culture can be passed down continuously. Compared with the aborigines they have seen, it is simply a world away and completely incomparable.
In Manhattan, they also saw three schools.
They are three places for primary school, middle school and high school to teach children of different ages to learn knowledge.
This alone is much stronger than the European countries.
They even listened for a long time, although they couldn't understand what the honest people were saying. But with the help of translators, they still understood it more or less.
The knowledge taught in these schools is from the shallower to the deeper. This is a very scientific teaching method.
And they also teach children to learn calligraphy, learn natural knowledge, historical knowledge, and even some chemistry courses.
This gave them both a big shock.
It can be predicted that these Indian children who have learned knowledge will definitely have a very high awareness of the Song Empire in the future.
At the same time, all of them are literate and can write.
I even know some historical knowledge, as well as natural and chemical knowledge, which will be very helpful in any industry in the future.
You know, in today's European countries, there are still illiterates on the streets.
In addition to the school, the neat streets, well-planned health places, and security personnel who appeared from time to time, everything made them feel fresh and shocked.
They are the ones who feel it the most due to their strong discipline.
It can be said that people in the Song Empire had the habit of obeying the law from the bottom of their hearts.
A country with discipline is strong.
How could Gonzalez and Francisco not know this.
??If there is a war, such a country can completely mobilize all its citizens, and each of them will be a qualified and elite warrior.
This is not an easy country to deal with, and there is no doubt about their strength.
At the same time, the two of them were also very interested in the flintlock guns carried on the shoulders of the genetic warriors who passed by on the streets of Manhattan from time to time.
The body of this kind of gun is slender, not as rough and bulky as a matchlock gun, and has a very streamlined aesthetic.
At the same time, this kind of gun is very light in weight. There is no need to set up a gun frame when firing, and there is no need to have an ignition fuse to fire gunpowder and lead bullets.
And a long bayonet can be installed at the head of the gun.
It is a pity that the soldiers of the Song Empire did not give them the opportunity to carefully observe this weapon called a 'flintlock'. Even when they asked to touch it, the soldiers of the Song Empire refused He looked at them very warily and refused without hesitation.
The two of them had a deep understanding of the vigilance of the soldiers of the Song Empire.
In addition to these, the two of them also saw the products of the Song Empire in these days.
The exquisite porcelain immediately allowed them to see the business opportunities and huge profits. The neatly stacked grain at the dock also allowed the two of them to see the opportunity to alleviate domestic grain prices.
Matches that are simple to use are also very popular and marketable products.
Pickle is a new food, but it may not have a big market in Europe.
There may be some market for labor protection winter suits in the military, which can help legions everywhere withstand the cold in winter.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?These spices produced in the East, like porcelain, have broad prospects in continental Europe, and the product Thirteen Incense, which is blended with thirteen spices, makes the two of them excited.
The docking of a British merchant ship at the dock also gave the two of them a deep sense of crisis.
The British have now started trade with the people of the Song Empire. If they don't work hard, the market on the European continent will be completely controlled by the British.
This is something the Spaniards, who have enmity with the British, do not want to happen.
What they have to do now is to immediately meet the minister of the royal ¡®umbrella¡¯ company with foreign trade rights in the Song Empire and sign a trade agreement with him.
But this minister of the Song Empire didn¡¯t know what was going on, and he always made excuses. Did the British say something to them?
The two miserable Spaniards thought that the British were doing something behind the scenes, but didn't think much about it.
Although it was defeated by the British decades ago, there is no doubt that Spain is powerful today.
¡°How often have they been treated like this? It¡¯s really unacceptable.
But the Song Empire is not like those natives. They have elite troops and warriors, so Gonzalez and Francisco can only accept Zhang Tie's 'teasing' honestly.
¡°If this matter were placed in Central America, Gonzalez and Francisco would be treated like this, and then they would attack the natives arrogantly with a Spanish warship and the 400 soldiers on board.
"However, here in Manhattan, they have to be coiled up even if they are dragons, and they have to lie down even if they are tigers.
The Spaniards also know that the situation is stronger than the person, and the weak is picked on the weak. The Song Empire in North America was not the Inca people in Central America who were conquered by Spain.
If they really do that, the Manhattan Guard at the port terminal alone will be able to wipe out these people in a short time.
A few days ago, a boatload of British guys came to Manhattan. These guys were just scolded by the security guards with cloth strips on their heads for teasing Indian women, and then they clamored to bombard the port.
But what happened
The result was that they were all arrested, and the leader was put in jail and fined.
The garrison at the port at that time, with its quick response, neat formation, and aggressive tactics, was an eye-opener for Gonzalez and Francisco.
The garrison of more than 100 people suppressed more than 300 rioting British people in a short period of time. Their methods were cruel, cruel and cold-blooded, which made the two of them still a little scared when they think about it.
The more they came into contact with the Song people in Manhattan and the better they understood them, the more unfathomable they seemed to the two Spanish envoys.
Today, the population living near Manhattan alone has almost exceeded 100,000.
Of course, what the two of them didn¡¯t know was that 90% of these people were Indians. The population of gene humans under Zhao Hongyu's direct rule is only a few thousand.
But even so, it was very scary in the eyes of the two Spaniards.
A city with a population of 100,000 people, and it is only a fiefdom city of the imperial crown prince. It can be seen how powerful this empire is and how terrifying its combat power will be.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that the two of them have been exposed to Zhang Tie for such a long time, and they do not dare to have any complaints in their hearts.
Facing the strong, maintaining awe is the only rule of survival.
You know, even when the Spaniards were at their most powerful, they were still condescending to the powerful Ming Empire when they opened up the eastern sea route.
And now that the Dutch have captured the Eastern Sea Route, they are also cautious when facing the Ming Empire, constantly flattering a small official.
"You go back, we adults are very busy now and don't have time to meet you yet." After receiving Zhang Tie's instructions, Gene Man came to the company's lobby to inform Gonzalez and Francisco.
"Please inform me again, we have been waiting for many days." Gonzalez bowed and saluted, and said to the gene man at the same time.
Of course the genetic man would not understand what he said.
¡°Spanish is not popular among genetic people, so English is just a passable language.
¡°But they brought a translator with them, and he understood English.
Therefore, his words were translated so that genetic people could understand them.
Looking at that with hope?Gene Man, but unfortunately the Gene Man shook his head with a cold expression, completely dashing their hopes.
"I have already said that you are very busy right now. There are a lot of goods to be unloaded at our dock every day, and there are still a lot of goods to be loaded on the ship. These need to be managed by adults. You can come back after a while."
"Please be accommodating." At this time, Francisco took out a leather bag from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the genetic man.
There were constant jingling sounds in the bag, and it looked like there was a lot of metal in it that was colliding.
¡°If Gene Man is not stupid, he still can¡¯t see Francisco¡¯s intention.
He is the kind of genetic person who has brilliant thinking and intelligent personality patterns, so he knows more in this regard than the dull genetic person.
And the reason why he came to the Umbrella Company was not only to seek a career, but also to avoid the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
He shook the bag in his hand, and after feeling it for a while, he finally had a smile on his face.
"Okay, I'm trying my best to give it a try, but I advise you not to have too much hope. Our adults have very weird personalities."
After putting the money bag into his pocket, he turned around and walked in, while also reminding them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site).
