- Harming America?
And then leave the mess to future generations?
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t agree with this in his heart.
But now he can't refute Wang Shan. After all, he really needs a lot of money to develop modern products.
And if he doesn¡¯t develop the resources here, he won¡¯t be able to get a lot of money.
"Let's talk about this later. It's too early to talk about this now. The issue we need to pay attention to right now is how to establish good relations with the Iroquois and start trade in a short period of time." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan . "I currently have 300 million in funds on hand. It seems like a lot, but in fact it will be gone as soon as I use it."
Wang Shan nodded silently. Of course he knew that 300 million yuan was not enough to build a city and cultivate genetic people.
This money seems like a lot of money, but in fact it will be spent immediately as soon as the development is carried out, and there is no chance of making a fuss.
Dunbar was chatting with Emma at this time, and the eagle feather crown Emma wore showed her status, which made Dunbar very respectful to her.
??In Indian customs, if you can wear a crown made of eagle feathers, you are definitely a leader or powerful person of a tribe. This is not something that ordinary people can wear casually, that's why he is so polite.
The average Indian warrior or tribesman only has one, two or three eagle feathers on his head. This is a sign of their bravery. Only when they have made a significant contribution to the tribe, or when they have killed an enemy, will they be eligible to have an extra eagle feather as a headdress.
This is simply impossible to wear randomly.
Of course, Dunbar did not doubt Zhao Hongyu and the others. After all, the white men had used this to deceive the Iroquois in the early days.
Those Baipis found an Indian from another tribe, put an eagle feather crown on them, and said that they were the leader of a certain tribe to vouch for Baipi.
In this way, the white-skinned and black-hearted traders can obtain a large amount of precious furs from the Iroquois without spending a penny. But the result was often that the Iroquois were deceived by them, and in the end the merchants never returned.
As for the ¡®tribal¡¯ leaders who provided guarantees, they all disappeared without a trace.
In this regard, the Iroquois suffered a lot from white-skinned and black-hearted businessmen.
However, unlike the white-skinned men, Zhao Hongyu and the others have sophisticated weapons and exquisite clothing.
Therefore, in Dunbar's view, Zhao Hongyu and the others are not the kind of people who can deceive others at all. The most important thing is that the trade method proposed by Zhao Hongyu and others is exchange, not getting goods without spending a penny like white swindlers.
Therefore, Emma has a lot of weight in Dunbar's heart.
In addition, Emma has said that she is the king of all Indians in Manhattan and the queen of the Song Empire, which proves that her status is extraordinary.
Although Dunbar didn¡¯t quite understand what the Empire was, he sounded like it was very powerful from Emma¡¯s words.
It is estimated that this may be the title of a tribe.
Dunbar thought secretly in his heart.
In the Indian concept, there is no concept of empire, so it is normal for Dunbar not to understand.
But when Dunbar heard Emma say that there were nearly 30,000 to 40,000 people in Manhattan, and there were over 10,000 warriors, Dunbar finally knew the strength of the other party.
It stands to reason that the Iroquois, with a population of two to three hundred thousand, must have more soldiers under their command than Manhattan.
But the problem is that the Iroquois is a coalition, while Manhattan is completely dominated by the Song Dynasty.
It can be said that the Song Dan is much stronger than any other tribe in the Iroquois.
It¡¯s just that compared to the united Iroquois, he seemed a little weak.
But even so, it¡¯s enough to gain Dunbar¡¯s respect.
During the chat with Dunbar, Emma revealed some information about Manhattan intentionally or unintentionally, and told about the war with the British that happened six months ago.
As Emma told her story, Dunbar and his two companions were stunned.
Because Emma talked about Manhattan¡¯s fighting methods and the war capabilities and weapons that Manhattan possesses.
Artillery! Flintlock gun!
Compared to those Europeans, Manhattan is even more proficient in the use of firearms.
At the same time, Dunbar noticed what Emma said about the occurrence, handling and treatment of the epidemic, which made Dunbar's eyes change when he looked at Zhao Hongyu and the others.Click.
To say that the war can only open Dunbar's eyes, but he is not too concerned about it.
The Iroquois could easily mobilize an army of 50,000 people to fight. They feared no one in this land and never failed.
Therefore, he does not think that Manhattan's sharp firearms can pose much of a threat to them.
The French whites in the northeast also had firearms, but they suffered many defeats at the hands of the Iroquois.
Therefore, Dunbar felt confident and was not afraid of Zhao Hongyu and the others at all.
However, Dunbar could not remain calm about the fact that Zhao Hongyu's "Song Empire Tribe" had medicines to control the spread of the disease and to treat body fever, diarrhea and other minor ailments.
Although the Iroquois are so big, there are not a few people who die from minor diseases every year.
Because most of the Indians at this time only believed in wizards, when they got sick, they often went to see wizards to exorcise evil spirits instead of seeing a doctor and taking medicine.
By the way, most of the shamans in the Indian tribes don¡¯t know how to see or treat diseases at all.
As for the very few wizards, they will learn the treatment methods of one or two diseases and the knowledge of herbal medicine from their ancestors.
But there are too few such people.
There are tens of thousands of large and small Indian tribes on the American continent, but the number of tribes with wizards who know how to cure diseases can be counted on one hand.
Therefore, it¡¯s no wonder that Dunbar was so surprised that he couldn¡¯t even close his jaw when he heard Emma say that there were medicines in Manhattan.
And Emma is indeed not talking nonsense.
¡°Here in Manhattan, although Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t produce a lot of medicines, he still produced a lot of cold medicines, Xie Li Ting and anti-inflammatory drugs.
These medicines are of great use in treating some minor ailments. After all, the most common illnesses for people living in Manhattan are minor ailments.
???????????????????? But if a minor ailment is not treated, it will eventually kill you.
Therefore, the medicines developed by Zhao Hongyu can also be said to have become life-saving medicines for many people in Manhattan.
Gene people don¡¯t think so, but those Indians and Europeans living in Manhattan don¡¯t think so.
After someone has received several effective treatments, everyone regards these medicines as miracle medicine.
Because in this era, there are no such effective medicines against diseases.
It only takes one or two small tablets, and the symptoms will basically disappear the next day. This is simply unbelievable.
Although these medicines are a bit expensive, everyone still thinks they are worth the money.
"Do you really have potions in your hands? The kind that can cure diarrhea and children?"
Dunbar asked excitedly.
Seeing Dunbar so excited, Emma didn't know what was wrong with him.
But she still nodded: "Yes, diarrhea, headache, fever, etc. can be treated. What do you mean by children?"
Emma didn¡¯t understand what Dunbar said about ¡®there are children¡¯ just now, so he asked a question instead.
"My child has some very strange diseases. Do you think your medicine can cure it?"
Hearing this, Dunbar quickly explained.
Emma turned to look at Zhao Hongyu with a helpless look on her face.
Only Zhao Hongyu can answer this question, and she doesn¡¯t know how to answer Dunbar.
It¡¯s okay if you ask her to name a few drugs, after all, she has used them herself. But if you want Emma to see a doctor, or explain the pharmacology and targeted diseases to others, this will be a bit difficult for her.
After Zhao Hongyu saw Emma¡¯s look asking for help, he smiled and took over.
"I don't know what kind of disease your child has? If you make it clearer, I think I can give you an answer." Seeing Dunbar's excitement, Zhao Hongyu understood very well.
After all, as a parent, who wouldn¡¯t think about their children?
Afterwards, Dunbar relayed his child¡¯s illness to Zhao Hongyu.
After Zhao Hongyu finished listening, he whispered to Wang Shan.
Then Wang Shan nodded, turned around and left the tent.
Dunbar was a little uneasy, not knowing what these people were going to do.
"Don't be nervous. I heard you talk about the symptoms. I think it's caused by worms in the stomach. It's not a serious illness. I have special effects here.The treatment medicine is specially designed to treat worms in children. "
Seeing that Dunbar was a little uneasy, Zhao Hongyu said to him with a smile.
The smile on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face made Dunbar relax a lot, and the anxiety in his heart became much less.
"It just so happens that I also want to establish a trade agreement with the Iroquois, so I think I can send someone to follow you to your tribe, sign the trade agreement, and check on your children by the way."
Hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Dunbar was immediately overjoyed.
At this time, Dunbar's companion poked him behind him, came over and whispered to him: "You have to take us away quickly. We still have five companions outside. Although we are full, they But I¡¯m still hungry.¡±
Being reminded by his companions, Dunbar immediately thought of the five companions he had left outside.
His face turned red, he enjoyed the delicious food here and found a cure for his child. But his five companions are still starving outside.
Thinking of this, Dunbar agreed to Zhao Hongyu's proposal.
In Dunbar¡¯s opinion, the goods brought by these people will definitely cause a sensation within the tribe. And their products are really good, the prices are reasonable and everyone needs them.
Therefore, he had no reason to reject the other party's proposal.
And I also have to think about my companions outside, leave here as soon as possible and take my companions back (to be continued.
