Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Oh, my dear son-in-law, it's not so easy to see you now."

    On this day, Zhao Hongyu took Sara, Emma, ??and Wang Shan to Manhattan Island to visit his father-in-law.

    After meeting Zhao Hongyu, his old father-in-law ¡®Black Bear¡¯ was very enthusiastic.

    "My son-in-law has a lot of things to do now, and he has to handle all matters, big and small. How could he come to us without any problems?" However, the mother-in-law said some good words.

    On the plains of Manhattan Island, people working can be seen everywhere.

    Large tracts of fertile farmland have been reclaimed.  At the same time, people planted vegetables and grains on the cultivated fertile land.

    As long as you wait until autumn, Manhattan Island will have a bumper harvest.

    Therefore, the Mohicans living on the island all have happy smiles on their faces, and they are very energetic when working.

    Because as long as you work hard, you can have a good year with plenty of food and clothing.

    For this reason, who can work without working hard? After all, it is all for themselves.

    ¡°Emma, ??come and let mom take a look at you, my little baby seems to have lost weight again.¡± Emma¡¯s mother waved to Emma and Sara, and walked aside to talk about women¡¯s topics.

    "Those black slaves are okay, aren't they looking for trouble?"

    After several women walked aside, Zhao Hongyu and his father-in-law sat on the lawn outside the manor, chatting in the sun.

    Black Bear¡¯s Manor is a large white two-story building on Manhattan Island.  Its style is completely built in the American style of later generations, but it has a unique style.

    And around the manor is the land belonging to the black bear.

    Of course, 80% of this large piece of land belongs to Zhao Hongyu, and his old father-in-law only manages it on his behalf.

    "Those black slaves are very capable of working and have great strength. After having them, it was really smooth to cultivate fertile land. And they look very fierce, but in fact they are still very docile, so there are not many people who are dissatisfied.  Discipline.¡±

    The black bear replied.

    Zhao Hongyu smiled: "There are not many people who are dissatisfied, so some people will still make trouble. I don't know how my father-in-law handles it. You must know that the number of black slaves is increasing now. If they are not managed well, something may happen."  It¡¯s a big problem.¡±

    ¡°Now the number of black slaves in the Song Empire has increased to 120,000. At this rate, it may soon exceed the number of genetic people.

    Therefore, if the black slaves are not managed well, it will be a big deal if they cause trouble.

    Fortunately, most of the black slaves were easy to manage. Even though the big and thick slaves looked fierce, in fact, when they were sold here, they had already been taken care of by the white people at sea.

    With the white people in charge, most of the black slaves knew how to obey their masters' instructions so that their lives would not be so miserable.

    Besides, although the Mohicans used black slaves to work, they did not abuse the black slaves.

    ¡° Having four meals a day, and even eating meat, this is simply the life of a god.

    The food and accommodation provided by slaves here are better than those back home in Africa.

    Therefore, many black slaves have accepted their fate and work here honestly.

    Of course, there will also be a few disobedient thorns, and they often encourage other slaves to cause trouble and run away.

    ¡°However, these people were basically suppressed by the Mohicans and the white guards and bodyguards invited by the Mohicans.  And those who started the trouble also followed the rules of the Mohicans, peeled off the skin and cramped the body and showed it to the public.

    Although the methods are bloody and cruel, this is the rule of the Mohicans.

    You see, originally they were black slaves, slaves bought by the Mohicans.  They are fed and fed well, and even if they are made to work, they are not abused.

    It stands to reason that this is already very good.

    "But some people just don't appreciate it, so the Mohicans are also angry.

    Fortunately, after those troublemakers were suppressed, there were a lot less troubles.

    So far, there has been no trouble for three months.

    Around the manor, white guards wearing demigod armor were patrolling the surrounding area on war horses.  These people kept their eyes on the black slaves who were working. As long as they were not lazy or anything, basically these white guards would not make things difficult for the black slaves.

    Zhao Hongyu himself could not imagine that because of his own reasons,?My old father-in-law actually became the owner of the manor and hired white people as guards and purchased black slaves as servants.

    At this time, the black bear was wearing eighteenth-century European clothing and sitting on a wooden deck chair.

    Behind him, two black slaves similarly dressed as European women stood there holding two parasols.

    "There is nothing difficult to deal with. If someone disobeys discipline and wants to cause trouble, my guard leader will handle the matter." Black Bear actually now has a bit of the aura of a superior, and it looks like this.  It's over.

    "Father-in-law, why did you think of hiring white people in the first place?" Zhao Hongyu glanced around, saw the white guards who were loyal to their duties, and then withdrew his gaze and asked.

    Black Bear reached out from the coffee table beside him, picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. After putting down the coffee cup, he replied: "I need someone to manage those slaves for me, and white people need to make money. It's that simple. More  Besides, I am your father-in-law, so many people are willing to come and do work for me. The rewards I give are very generous, so they come to help me."

    Zhao Hongyu would not object to hiring white people to do work.

    After all, white people also want to make money, and their father-in-law lacks the manpower to manage black slaves.

    "Are these white people reliable?" Zhao Hongyu lowered his voice and asked the black bear.

    Hearing this, Black Bear smiled 'haha', turned to look at Zhao Hongyu and said: "Nothing in this world is absolutely reliable, but it is true that white people only recognize silver coins. As long as I give them enough silver coins, then they will  Reliable. You can even work for me."

    Zhao Hongyu deeply believed in what his father-in-law said.

    The white people of this era are really just like this.

    As long as you give money, you can do whatever you say you are doing.

    If you have enough silver coins and gold coins, you can believe in Satan.

    "Now I have a large piece of land here, and I have to manage it for you. Plus there are so many black slaves, as well as cattle, sheep, and horses. If I don't hire white people, your mother-in-law and I can't take care of it at all.  ah."

    In the end, Black Bear reluctantly told Zhao Hongyu the main reason.

    "My tribesmen have also been allocated a lot of land. Originally, I could ask the Mohicans to work for me, but what will happen to their own land after they come to work for me? So, please white people  There¡¯s nothing you can do about it.¡±

    "Father-in-law, you can make the decision on these matters. I just asked him casually." Zhao Hongyu quickly said to Black Bear.

    He didn¡¯t want his father-in-law to misunderstand, because he felt uncomfortable after asking a few more questions.

    "Just ask, I won't think too much about it. Besides, you should know some things. You have a big share of the land and cattle, sheep and horses, and Emma also has a share." Black Bear looked at Zhao Hongyu seriously and said  : "I'm just managing it for you two. After we pass away, won't these properties still belong to you two?"

    "Father-in-law, what are you talking about? You are really young and in such good health now. It is too early to say this."

    Zhao Hongyu responded quickly.

    "By the way, I promoted a black butler, let you see him."

    Black Bear suddenly said something else to Zhao Hongyu.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Black butler?

    When Zhao Hongyu was wondering, Black Bear clapped his hands, and then a black man in his fifties wearing European-style men's clothing walked over from a short distance away.

    He wears a white European-style shirt on his upper body, a pair of tight pants on his lower body, and a pair of black leather shoes.

    Of course, the white socks must reach the calf and be exposed.

    ¡°I¡¯ve met the master, I¡¯ve met your highness.¡±

    After arriving in front of Black Bear and Zhao Hongyu, the black butler bowed respectfully and greeted them.

    "He was also a slave originally. I bought it from the Dutch." Black Bear introduced Zhao Hongyu.  "He was very smart and in a very short time, he learned the Mohican language, English and a little bit of French."

    Listening to his father-in-law¡¯s introduction, Zhao Hongyu became a little interested in this guy.

    "I named him Obama, what do you think?"

    Poof!

    Zhao Hongyu happened to be drinking coffee. When he heard his old father-in-law say this, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful.

    "Okay, okay, this is a great name.  "

    Black Bear continued: "He is very loyal to me. He informed me several times when someone started to cause trouble. It was because of his merits that I took him with me and made him the steward of the manor."

    Zhao Hongyu looked at this fifty-year-old man with a short beard with great interest.

    Being able to betray your compatriots is not something that ordinary people can do.

    ¡°However, Zhao Hongyu was not surprised at all that such a person appeared.

    There will be people like this in future generations.

    Besides, it is also very common for people to have their mentality distorted under the control of fear and pressure when they are in an unexpected environment.

    Zhao Hongyu still remembers that he once watched an American film, and the background of the film was the slave era.

    In the film, a black slave butler in a white manor is very loyal to his master and helps his master exploit his compatriots.

    Come to think of it, this butler named Obama is just such a person.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
