From the pier of Manhattan Island, it is not a long way to go to the manor of Black Bear, his father-in-law.
So, while chatting, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan arrived at the manor.
Wang Shan took out several exquisite copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the coachman.
Today, the economic system here in Manhattan is no longer so single.
As a supplementary currency, copper coins have also begun to officially appear.
After all, it is not enough to have large and small dragon oceans. Some low-value commodities also require coins of small denominations to purchase.
When Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan came to the manor, they happened to encounter Black Bear directing the servants to clean up.
He heard that this year there would be a kind of festival celebrated by the ¡®ancestors¡¯, and it was the most solemn time of the year, so he treated this festival very carefully.
Here in Manhattan, Indians have begun to slowly accept the idea that they have the same ¡®ancestor¡¯ as people like Zhao Hongyu.
After all, what those children are learning in school is this kind of brainwashing education.
And when those children return home, they will also affect their parents.
Under the influence of this spread one by one, the Indians will gradually change their minds.
¡°Besides, the things the teachers at the school said can be said to stand up to scrutiny.
Precisely because everyone has the same ¡®ancestor¡¯, now the Indians of the empire have to start over and forget about the kind of festival.
According to the rumors circulating in Manhattan, the Indians accidentally came to the American continent a long time ago due to some special circumstances or wars.
However, their vehicle was damaged, preventing them from returning home.
In this way, they had no choice but to stay in this land and start to multiply, but they forgot their ancestors and the glory of civilization.
The ¡®ancestors¡¯ of the Indians in the East were the Yin Shang Dynasty. This was an identity assigned to them by Zhao Hongyu.
This statement that "everyone comes from the East" can make Indians and Zhao Hongyu and others. Create a sense of psychological closeness.
It was precisely with this situation in mind that the Intelligence Department under Wang Shan started this kind of brainwashing education on campus.
At the same time, there are many intelligence officers who will intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic in this direction when chatting with the Indians, and then start discussions with the Indians.
As the saying goes, a drop of water can penetrate a stone, and the result will be seen over time.
Today, Indians living in Manhattan have begun to accept this statement and concept.
Especially the Indian children. They are the ones who accept it most thoroughly and who believe it most firmly.
They like the revised version of "The Romance of the Gods" taught in school very much, because their "motherland" exists in this mythical story.
Although the ending is not very good, it does not prevent these children from liking this story.
"You go over there and clear the snow. You take people to clean up the road outside. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I heard that we have to worship our ancestors, so we have to clean up the house."
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan walked into the manor and saw Black Bear standing there, having already cleared the snow. In the garden where the clean ground was exposed, the servants were ordering around with loud voices.
Not far away, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mother-in-law, surrounded by several maids, stood looking at her man with a smile.
The clothes worn by the mother-in-law are typical of the Northeastern clothing before the liberation of China.
? Black cotton-padded jacket. Knickerbockers, cotton shoes, hands folded in sleeves, if you don't look at the appearance of this mother-in-law. Zhao Hongyu thought she came from the northeast.
And his father-in-law, Black Bear, wore an otter skin hat and a black coarse cotton coat. Wearing a tiger fur coat, bloomers with the trouser legs tucked in, a pair of tiger skin pattern boots, and a copper buckle armed belt around his waist
Zhao Hongyu was in a daze for a moment, and almost blurted out a more classic sentence.
The king of heaven overpowers the tiger of earth!
Yes, the dress of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law Black Bear is so similar to the dress of Yang Zirong in ¡°Lin Hai Xue Yuan¡±.
This couple, dressed like this, really have a strong Northeastern style before liberation.
The tiger skin on his body was purchased from a Dutch businessman, and the Dutch businessman got the tiger skin from India.
"Master, master, the Crown Prince is here."
The black slave manager of Black Bear??, the guy who has become a "black skinned, yellow heart", his sharp eyes saw Zhao Hongyu, and he immediately reminded the black bear.
Regarding his father-in-law, the housekeeper, Zhao Hongyu really didn¡¯t know whether to praise him or despise him. It was precisely because he knew him so well that in the end, Zhao Hongyu could no longer describe him in words.
The same black man, also a black slave who was sold to the Americas. He was just picked out because he was lucky to become a small manner.
But he is in management, and he is cruel to his informants. Anyone who wants to escape will be reported by him, and even suppressed on the spot by himself.
It is precisely by relying on this method that this guy stepped into the black bear's eyes and finally became the black bear's butler.
After becoming a housekeeper, he was also loyal to the black bears, but he became even more cruel to his compatriots.
Zhao Hongyu still remembers that a black slave escaped half a year ago.
At that time, he was a guest at his father-in-law's place, and the black housekeeper personally executed the escaped slaves, including people from his hometown.
But this guy did it without blinking an eye.
It can be seen that his cruelty is extraordinary.
At the same time, the black slaves selected by Black Bear to work in the manor are all obedient or have the same character as the black housekeeper.
Zhao Hongyu understands very well that these guys have gone through inhuman suffering, and their minds have probably been distorted for a long time.
Now, in order to survive, they have to pretend or hypnotize themselves into thinking that they are the same 'people' as the Indians. And then ignore the fact that he is black.
This is like the "banana man" in the United States in later generations.
Situations like that of the father-in-law, a black butler, can be found everywhere in the history of the American colonies, and there is nothing too surprising.
Zhao Hongyu still remembers that even an American blockbuster he watched later had a description of this point.
A black housekeeper works for white people and is very cruel to his fellow black people. Not sympathetic at all, even contemptuous.
But for his white master, this black butler is very loyal.
So much so that even his thinking got rid of the African way and became the same as that of white people.
The black housekeeper next to his father-in-law, Black Bear, is in such a situation.
Black Bear turned around and saw Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan walking towards this side from the gate of the manor, without a large number of guards around them.
Heixiong no longer bothered to instruct the servants to do things. He quickly walked towards Zhao Hongyu, and as he walked, he opened his arms and greeted him loudly.
"Haha, my awesome son-in-law. Have you thought of me, an old man?"
And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mother-in-law, accompanied by the maid, walked over slowly.
He hugged his father-in-law vigorously, then let go and took a step back.
"My father-in-law is still so strong, but you are not old at all."
Yes, the black bear is only in his forties. How can he be old in the prime of life in future generations?
"But Zhao Hongyu also knows that Black Bear said this for a reason.
In the early days, the Indians lived a difficult life and had to fight with various animals in natural relics. So few of them live past fifty.
There are very few people in their forties, so this age can basically be called an elderly person.
You know, in this era, life is far less easy than in later generations.
In future generations, the streets will be full of 60- and 70-year-olds in cities. But that's impossible in this day and age.
In this era, whether in China or Europe, the life expectancy is basically around fifty years old.
China may be higher, but not much higher.
Mainly, this has to do with living environment. Living standards, material foundation and medical conditions are closely related.
??Especially in winter, European and Eastern and American Indians. There will be deaths in large numbers.
For people of this era, winter is very scary.
¡° But things are different now. Ever since Zhao Hongyu came to the American continent and got to know the Mohicans, the lives of the Mohicans have begun to change dramatically.
In just one and a half years, Black Bear and his tribe have gotten rid of the predicament of living in tents and not daring to go out in winter.
And never again in the winter because the foodScarcity and hunger.
Life has improved, there is no stress, and material resources have become abundant. The most obvious change is that Black Bear actually looks much younger, even the mother-in-law.
It seems that the pressure of life does make people age quickly.
"Father-in-law, you still have life to live. You can live for at least another forty years."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words made the black bear laugh.
¡°No one likes to hear someone say that they are still young and can live a long time.
Black bears like it too.
So, he laughed happily.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s mother-in-law came over. She stood behind her husband and nodded slightly at Zhao Hongyu.
"Wow, my mother-in-law seems to be getting younger and more beautiful, and the skin on her face is also very shiny."
Zhao Hongyu widened his eyes and praised somewhat exaggeratedly.
"However, what Zhao Hongyu said is not entirely a lie, because now his mother-in-law does look much younger than before, and she has also become much more beautiful.
Such changes are huge, so it is no wonder that Zhao Hongyu was amazed.
Being praised like this by Zhao Hongyu, the mother-in-law seemed a little embarrassed.
"Are you here to visit us this time, or do you have something to do? I know you too well, you won't come if you have nothing to do."
Black Bear¡¯s Mandarin is becoming more and more standard, which shows that he studies very hard.
