- "Don't worry too much. Wait until we go to Europe. Just take those poor women over. Mary won't say anything when taking them away. She doesn't dare to conflict with us."
Seeing the worried look on Sara's face, Zhao Hongyu rode his horse and came closer. Then he reached out and held Sara's hand to comfort her.
Zhao Hongyu is capable of doing what he said.
¡°As long as he goes to Europe and wants to take away those women, there is no way Mary can stop him.
Because the French are looking for him and need products from Manhattan.
Therefore, it is impossible for the French to antagonize him because of a few women.
Zhao Hongyu is sure of this.
Hearing this, Sara¡¯s expression relaxed a little, and she smiled at Zhao Hongyu.
"Don't worry too much, I know you will do it for me."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
At this time, a gunshot rang out.
Zhao Hongyu and Sara looked towards the place where the gunfire sounded. They saw Emma putting down the flintlock gun in her hands and started shouting.
"I shot! I shot a rabbit. Maggie, please bring me that rabbit quickly."
It turns out that it was the little guy Emma who shot the gun.
She treated her trip to Quebec as a pleasant hunting outing.
But that¡¯s okay, as long as Emma is happy.
The little girl wearing a mohawk whose name was called rushed out on horseback.
These little girls under the age of thirteen were carefully selected by Zhao Hongyu¡¯s old father-in-law from the Mohawk children. They follow Emma not only as her playmates and maids, but also as personal guards.
And they all received fighting training from Song Hu, so their skills are very good.
Soon, Maggie returned to Emma, ??holding a fat rabbit high in her hand.
"It's really a hit. Your Highness Emma, ??you are so powerful."
Hearing the compliment from the maid Maggie, Emma's face lit up with joy. At the same time, she turned to look at Zhao Hongyu and raised her eyebrows, as if she was saying, 'I'm pretty awesome.'
Zhao Hongyu and Sara looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
As expected, he is still a child.
"Well, well, my Emma is very talkative. She caught a rabbit this time. She will have to hunt a bigger prey next time."
Zhao Hongyu satisfied the little guy¡¯s desire for expression.
Strictly speaking, their journey was smooth and they encountered no trouble.
The Iroquois in the area around the Quebec Fortress had been wiped out long ago by the bounty hunters.
Even if there are fish that slip through the net, two or three kittens cannot survive the weather, and those guys have to be frightened all day long, so it is impossible to stay in this area.
Because the Iroquois have enmity with the Indian tribes in this area, if they encounter those tribes, the end will not be much better.
Therefore, everything was safe and smooth until Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived in Quebec.
Lamar led the Somali Legion to line up outside the fortress to greet them.
The scene was quite grand, but Zhao Hongyu thought it was a bit situational.
But those French guys liked it very much. They thought that such a big scene could identify Zhao Hongyu as the Crown Prince of the Empire and he was worthy of his status.
Sitting on the horse, Zhao Hongyu kept smiling and waving to the crowd.
He maliciously imagined that if he said "Comrades, thank you for your hard work" at this time, would these French guys shout "Serve the people" in unison?
Lord Sara is well!
??Glory belongs to the lord!
God bless you, Your Highness!
Generally speaking, the French in Quebec are friendly and there are no unexpected situations.
It seems that taking control of Quebec is a sure thing.
Zhao Hongyu is very happy.
Arriving at the center of the fortress, the group stopped.
As the lord of this place, Sarah dismounted and walked to a small platform there.
That stage is in the middle of an intersection, and it seems to be specially used for speeches.
"Your Highness, this stage is used by political officials to issue decrees, and it can also be used as a temporary performance platform.platform. ", Lamar, who accompanied Zhao Hongyu, explained to him.
After all, he has lived here for many days, and Lamar already knows a lot about the situation in the fortress.
After nodding to Lamar to show that he understood, Zhao Hongyu set his sights on Sara again.
Sarah was wearing a red queuing party uniform with gold patterned edges, making her look very heroic.
? White trousers paired with black leather boots will make all French people stare straight.
On Sara¡¯s waist, there was a command knife with a golden gauntlet.
Is this the dress of a woman from the Song Empire or the dress of a noble?
Although it¡¯s a little weird, it¡¯s very pretty.
The French people around the stage saw Sarah standing on the stage, and they all thought to themselves.
Although I have never seen Sarah¡¯s outfit before, it is really beautiful.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In their opinion, the Song Empire¡¯s attire is more attractive than the Spanish aristocratic attire that is now popular.
Then, Sarah began her speech.
In fact, what she wants to say is very simple. It is nothing more than that the Quebec region has been incorporated into the territory of the Song Empire and will belong to the imperial family from now on.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT
To what Sara said, the French people didn¡¯t react very well.
From their point of view, who Quebec belongs to has little to do with them.
It doesn¡¯t matter who it belongs to, it¡¯s not theirs anyway.
And what Sara said next was what attracted them the most.
After Quebec became part of the Song Empire, the French could choose to stay or leave.
Those who stay can learn the rules and regulations of the Song Empire and abide by the rules of the Song Empire. After five years, they can pass the exam and become citizens of the empire.
There are many benefits to becoming a citizen of the Empire.
For example, food and some daily necessities are very cheap despite purchase restrictions.
Compared with those who travel across the ocean to trade, they can enjoy a huge discount.
¡°In short, the treatment given to citizens by the empire is really good.
Children can study for free.
There are many job opportunities here in the empire. As long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, you will not be afraid of not making money.
This is very attractive to them.
People who don¡¯t want to work can also rent land from the umbrella company to farm, and turn over the ¡°pitifully small¡± harvest every year, and the rest will all belong to them.
" Such a good thing, the French people's eyes widened after hearing it.
Of course, there are many benefits.
As for those who are unwilling to stay, they can also go to Manhattan and take a merchant ship back to Europe. The Song Empire will not stop them.
People who don¡¯t want to become citizens of the empire, but don¡¯t want to leave either.
You can also find things to do in Quebec, Ontario, and Manhattan, but they need to apply for a "temporary residence permit" and pay a lot of foreign residence tax every year.
In short, it is up to the adults to make their own choices.
After Sarah finished speaking, it was Zhao Hongyu¡¯s turn to come on stage and say a few words.
What he said was very short, just one sentence.
?? Observe the law and the Empire will welcome you.
And as the queen and mascot of the Indians in the empire, Emma cannot avoid saying a few words.
She extended an invitation to the Indian tribes in Quebec in Mohican. She invited all the tribal leaders to come to Manhattan.
In this way, it took Zhao Hongyu and the others half a day to complete this matter.
After finishing what he should do, Lamar will take care of the rest.
What Zhao Hongyu and the others have to do is to show up in Quebec and declare their sovereignty here.
So, after finishing all this, Zhao Hongyu and the others came to the stay place prepared by Lamar to rest.
"Have a good rest. We have to stay in Quebec for a few symbolic days before we can leave here on a battleship." After settling down Sarah and Emma, ??Zhao Hongyu told them.
Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu and Lamar left.
"How is the propaganda in Quebec? Is it developing smoothly? Did the political commissars and propaganda personnel sent here encounter no trouble?"
Zhao Hongyu asked after he and Lamar arrived at his office.
Wang Shan followed Zhao Hongyu. Today he was not too pushy and was very quiet.
"Your Highness, the policy propaganda is pretty good, and the French don't have much resistance. For them, it doesn't matter who Quebec belongs to. What matters to them is whether they can survive here and earn silver coins."
Lamar said what these French people are thinking.
Zhao Hongyu nodded when he heard this: "That's the truth. Telling lies and empty words is of no use. These Europeans only look at what they can get in reality." He knew the character of Europeans very well.
At this time, Wang Shan, who was standing behind Zhao Hongyu, finally spoke.
"We are lacking everything now, except for job opportunities. Building roads, building factories, farming, mining, and fishing all require many, many people. Even if we continue to buy black slaves, we still have a huge population gap. There is a gap. So as long as these French guys are willing to do something, I guarantee that they will have something to do and get generous rewards."
What Wang Shan said is true.
The second phase of construction is underway in Manhattan, Lake Ontario and Fort Quebec.
So it requires a lot of manpower.
Therefore, there is no shortage of job opportunities for French people.
¡°As long as you have something to do and money to make, you really don¡¯t have to worry about them causing trouble.
¡°Besides, where can they go even if they don¡¯t want to stay?
Back to Europe?
That is even more impossible.
Why did you leave Europe? Isn¡¯t it because you can¡¯t survive?
??As long as you are not an idiot, you all know how you should choose. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
