- Sarah came on the road, which made Emma very happy.
It also put a satisfied smile on Emma's face, which made Sarah couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It¡¯s really unexpected that this Indian queen can win over her with benefits.
It seems that when you deal with her in the future, you will inevitably give her more good things.
After such a brief contact, Sarah definitely had nothing to fear from this little girl.
And in her opinion, there is still a little bit of greed for money.
In other words, this girl has a weakness.
¡°It¡¯s good to have weaknesses. If you have weaknesses, you can prescribe the right medicine to let Sarah know how to deal with this girl.
After all, she will be considered a member of this family from now on, and she will inevitably have to live together.
"Is Europe far away? How big is that manor and land? If it's too small, I don't like it." Emma blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and looked at Sara cutely asked.
Alas, such a beautiful little girl, why is it a fiscal fan?
Sarah looked at Emma who looked like a porcelain doll and sighed in her heart.
"Sarah, my wife asked you whether Europe is far away, and how big the manor and land you gave her as a gift are. If it is too small, she will not be satisfied."
Zhao Hongyu suppressed his laughter and translated.
"You don't need to answer how far Europe is, I know that. Just tell her how big the manor is and how much land it has." Zhao Hongyu added, reminding Sara by the way.
¡°For Emma, ??it is difficult for her to understand how long it takes to travel from America to Europe, because she has no concept at all.
¡°And Sarah didn¡¯t know what to say to Emma.
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reminder, Sara breathed a sigh of relief.
"The manor was built by the Samuel family thirty years ago. It covers an area of ??30 acres and is five stories high. It has a fortress and a watchtower that can garrison 300 troops. The 30,000 acres of land around the manor all belong to Samuel. It is owned by the family. There is also a nearby village with a population of about 3,000 people, and half of the people in the village are indentured slaves of the family."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Hearing what Sara said, Zhao Hongyu couldn¡¯t help but be speechless.
¡° Emma really made a profit this time, this is a nice manor. Thirty thousand acres of land is not small, it is a very large area.
¡°Coupled with those indentured servants, it stands to reason that Sara¡¯s life should be very good. Why does she have to come to the New World?
Zhao Hongyu suddenly thought of this problem.
On the other hand, Emma looked very happy after listening to Zhao Hongyu's translation, and did not notice some of the problems contained in it.
"Wow, is it for me? It's really great. I'll go check out this manor if I have the chance."
Heartless Emma could no longer pretend, and her true character was immediately exposed.
Seeing that the little guy was happy, Zhao Hongyu didn't bother her.
He looked at Sara very seriously and said: "Sara, tell me the truth. This manor and land in Madrid should supposedly bring you a good life. But why did you take the risk and come to Quebec? ? And if I remember correctly, Madrid should be the capital of Spain, and the Count Samuel family you inherited is a French noble."
Zhao Hongyu asked Sara all the doubtful questions in his mind.
¡°I can¡¯t believe that Your Highness is so knowledgeable. You actually know that Madrid belongs to Spain and some things about my little fiefdom. It¡¯s really surprising.¡±
Sarah was a little surprised.
"Answer my question, I don't want you to lie to me."
Zhao Hongyu continued to ask.
Sarah nodded: "Actually, the manor in Madrid belongs to me. It is the fiefdom left to me by my father. It does not belong to the Samuel family at all, and my father is a Spanish nobleman"
With Sarah¡¯s explanation, Zhao Hongyu felt relieved.
In this era, it was normal for nobles to marry each other. After Sarah's father died, there were no other heirs except Sarah, so it was not a problem for her to inherit the fiefdom.
And Sara¡¯s father is a Spanish noble, so it is logical that Sara owns a fief in Spain.
Therefore, after listening to Sara¡¯s explanation, Zhao Hongyu understood the reason.
"As you said?, now many people are peeping at me. I can't stay in Europe at all, and there are some nobles in Spain who want my life, so I can't go back at all. "
Sarah said some of the problems here.
"According to you, you can't speak to this manor in Madrid now?"
Zhao Hongyu frowned.
Although Sara doesn¡¯t want to admit it, it is the fact after all.
Therefore, she could only nodded helplessly and admitted this.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as you have a legal identity, no one can take away what belongs to you.¡± Zhao Hongyu fiercely assured Sara.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu thinks this matter can be easily solved. As long as he occupies Quebec and the Great Lakes region, he can start to concentrate on development.
And as long as you concentrate on development, you will be able to have a strong military force in a few years.
With an army, a navy, and warships, when the time comes and Sarah¡¯s legal name is used, the people who have been taken away from those places will have to spit them out.
After all, it is impossible for them to confront the Song Empire with its powerful armed forces.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu felt very confident.
"You are wrong. It is no longer mine. The land, manor and indentured servants there now all belong to Her Majesty the Queen."
Sarah reminded Zhao Hongyu.
Haha, yes, it¡¯s my little Emma¡¯s private territory.
Being reminded by Sara, Zhao Hongyu immediately laughed when he thought of the conversation between Sara and Emma just now.
Yes, Sarah has promised to give that place to Emma, ??so in theory it belongs to Emma.
How could Emma¡¯s territory be taken away by others? Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had the right to help his wife, take the territory back and hold some people accountable.
When Sarah arrived, she was carrying a large cross-body leather bag, which was filled with kraft paper land deeds.
Among them, she also put the manor and land outside Madrid and the contracts of the indentured servants in her bag.
¡°I saw Sarah opening her satchel, rummaging around inside, and then took out three large kraft paper contract documents.
"Please keep it, Queen. From now on, the manor and land will belong to you."
Immediately, Sarah handed over the manor, land, and indentured servants' contracts to Emma and signed a transfer agreement with her.
For Sarah, it was a hot potato, and she couldn't control it.
Rather than doing this, it¡¯s better to leave it to Emma.
After all, doing this can bring you closer to the little girl, and at the same time, it can also allow the little girl to find trouble with those people.
This is an invitation that kills two birds with one stone, so why not do it.
Zhao Hongyu saw Emma smiling and signing her name on the brown paper with Sara, and whispered to Sara: "You are so smart."
Sara glanced at Emma quickly, and then said to Zhao Hongyu: "I have no choice, and I really want to give this to the queen. Of course, she needs to solve the trouble. .¡±
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand: "I want to thank you on behalf of Emma."
Emma handed over the agreement and the manor land and other deeds to her maids and asked them to keep it safe for her.
You know, this is her first fortune.
Although she is a queen now, she is still very poor and has no private property of her own.
In Emma¡¯s opinion, the cattle and sheep on Manhattan Island belong to her father and mother. She, Emma, ??is now empty-handed.
Therefore, she is very concerned about this first fortune.
And for this woman who could contribute wealth to herself, Emma became particularly friendly.
"Brother, since I have accepted her benefits, I now agree that she will become a member of our family." Emma looked like a young adult, clapped her hands and said to Zhao Hongyu.
As Emma clapped her hands, a mohawk maid came in, holding a large silver plate in her hands.
On this silver plate, there is a headdress made of eagle feathers, which is a gift from Emma to Sarah. At the same time, this headdress represents the status of Zhao Hongyu and the family she founded, and also expresses recognition of Sarah.
You must know that the headdress made of eagle feathers is not something that ordinary people can wear on their heads.
The Indians are concerned about this?But there are strict requirements.
For example, the eagle feather crown Emma wears is the kind of crown with dozens of eagle feathers that can be dragged to the ground.
This indicates her status as queen and leader.
And the eagle feather headdress given to Sara looks like a flower crown.
This means that Sarah is a chief or a member of the royal family and the leader, which is a symbol of noble status.
¡°Other women, at best, just tie a piece of cloth to their forehead.
"Eagle feathers, you are absolutely not qualified to wear them.
Now Emma takes out the eagle feather headdress, which shows that she recognizes Sara as a member of the family.
Everything is for the sake of the land.
Zhao Hongyu complained in his heart.
At Emma¡¯s signal, the little maid placed the eagle feather headdress in front of Sara.
Because she didn¡¯t know much about the Indian rules, Sara could only look at Zhao Hongyu for help.
"My wife has recognized you. This eagle feather headdress is proof that you can become a member of our family. From now on, you will be my second wife."
¡°Hmph, this little money-lover, isn¡¯t it because of the benefits I gave her?
After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation, Sarah kept complaining in her heart.
However, she still hurriedly picked up the headdress and put it on her head.
After all, this is the proof given by others.
Emma nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that the war between the Iroquois and Quebec is about to break out, how do you plan to intervene?"
After settling the issue of identity, Sara immediately entered the role.
You know, she is still alone now.
And many of the benefits promised to Emma can only be fulfilled after Zhao Hongyu captures Quebec.
Therefore, Sara was a little worried about what she would do if she didn¡¯t fulfill her promise and the little girl got angry. When the time comes, I will definitely kick myself out of the house. By that time, I won¡¯t even have tears left to cry.
Sarah didn¡¯t think that just because she had sex with Zhao Hongyu, she would be able to swoon over this little lover.
She thinks she is not very attractive.
¡°Actually, Sara herself didn¡¯t know it, but her appearance and figure would be considered an absolute devil¡¯s figure in future generations.
It¡¯s just that in this era, it¡¯s not too mainstream.
However, Sara¡¯s thinking was not wrong at all. It is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to do anything to offend Emma for her sake.
You know, as long as Emma is here, the Indians can be loyal to the Song Empire. and used them to great effect in wars against other Indian tribes.
"And Sarah wants soldiers, no soldiers, no money, no money, how can Zhao Hongyu turn to her?
So, if you want to consolidate your position, Quebec must win it earlier.
With the income from Quebec, Sarah can have her own voice step by step.
Of course, you still have to be respectful to your eldest wife Emma.
On this continent, Indians are the most populous, aren't they?
Sarah is not a fool, she can also see what the situation is.
Hearing Sarah ask about Quebec, Zhao Hongyu retracted his chaotic thoughts, sorted his thoughts and thought about it.
"We want the Iroquois and Leon to fight. We shouldn't get involved so quickly. This will do us no good. My idea is to let both of them consume as much strength as possible, and wait until both sides are exhausted. When we are exhausted, we step in to get the most benefit.¡±
Sarah thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about military matters, so I'll leave everything to you."
??Sarah herself knows what she is capable of, she is not good at this at all.
Although she is a noble, it is a pity that she did not put her thoughts on this at all before.
She just has some talent for accounting management.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t expect Sara to be of any help to him. Anyway, what he wanted to use was Sara¡¯s legal identity.
With Sara¡¯s legal status, Zhao Hongyu can enter Quebec in a grand manner and take over everything there without making any faults.
¡°Brother, we¡¯d better leave here soon. The Iroquois and the Whiteskins are about to start a war, and it¡¯s not safe for us to stay here.¡±
??At this time, Emma interrupted and said to Zhao Hongyu.
Yes, a few days before Zhao Hongyu and the others came back, the camp was attacked.
This incident made Emma see the danger.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said to Emma: "Do you still want 30% of the land in Quebec? If you still want it, we will continue to stay here."
As soon as she heard Zhao Hongyu mention the land of Quebec, Emma immediately became energetic.
"Okay, for the sake of the 30% of the land, let's stay." Emma straightened her back and said it pretending to be heroic. "However, we have too few soldiers here. Can we mobilize troops from Manhattan?" But then, Emma's words exposed the fact that she was not confident (To be continued.
