- The large ocean-going merchant ship with its red bottom, white crescent moon and stars had already docked at the berth.
The sailors on the ship lowered the anchor into the water.
The deck was gently lowered and placed on the shore. Five or six sailors who looked different from Europeans, with sunken eyes and Turkic origins, ran off the ship.
After they arrived on the shore, they hurriedly took the cable thrown by their companions on the boat and tied it to an iron pillar on the shore.
Then, the sailors on the merchant ship all got busy, lowering the sails, cleaning the decks, or inspecting the parts of the hull that needed repairing.
In addition to the busy sailors, a bearded man wearing a black robe and a black turban on his head walked down the deck, surrounded by capable warriors.
This guy is also very muscular and very fat.
On his finger, he wears three huge ruby ??rings, and it is obvious at a glance that he is either rich or noble.
After Zhang Tie and Hei Xiong saw this guy, they immediately stopped talking and walked over there.
Soon, the two parties began to contact each other on the shore.
First, Zhang Tie introduced himself.
Then it was Black Bear¡¯s turn to introduce himself.
After they introduced themselves, an old man who had been following them in similar attire to those who had worn it translated their words and told them to each other.
"This is His Excellency Zhang Tie, the director of the Empire's Department of Commerce, who is also the Governor of Manhattan City and the Commander of Manhattan Defense."
As for the black bear, they just introduced his Indian identity.
After all, only Zhang Tie¡¯s identity can reveal the identities of the two of them.
Therefore, when introducing the other party, I focused on introducing Zhang Tie.
"The black bear doesn't care about this.
After listening to the translation, the fat man, surrounded by a group of elite warriors, stretched out his right hand with three ruby ??rings.
"I heard that there is a magical and rich country in the Americas. I originally thought it was bragging by European businessmen, but after I came here in person, I realized that it was all true.", Big Fatty's There was a smile on his face that didn't deserve a beating.
In fact, this fat man thought that his smile was very real, but he didn't know that in Zhang Tie's eyes, it turned out to be a look that deserved a beating.
His big round face should have been very interesting when he smiled, but when paired with his beard, this interestingness changed into a different flavor.
However, this guy feels very good about himself.
Furthermore, Zhang Tie and Hei Xiong didn¡¯t pay too much attention to anything.
The old man who was the translator quickly translated the fat man¡¯s words and relayed them to Zhang Tie and Black Bear in Mandarin with a weird accent.
Although the translator¡¯s tone was a little weird, luckily they could understand it.
In this way, there will be no obstacles in communication.
The fat man continued: "I am Amor Tolan, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the governor of Luo'er Province. I have met Mr. Zhang Tie."
"Oh, I really can't tell. The identity of this fat man is not simple.
But, I don¡¯t know what this guy from the Ottoman Turkish Empire is doing in America?
Zhang Tie murmured in his heart.
Before these people from the Ottoman Turkish Empire came to America, they sent some people over.
Among them was this old man who was a translator.
After they came here, they began to learn Mandarin.
After being able to communicate, they found Zhang Tie and told him that someone from the Ottoman Turkish Empire might be visiting.
To be honest, Zhang Tie is not interested in the Ottoman Empire at all.
Although Europeans think Ottoman Tš¹rkiye is scary and powerful.
But in Zhang Tie's eyes, this group of people is just that.
No matter how good they feel, they have to be honest when they come to America.
However, Zhang Tie didn¡¯t understand, what were they going to do when they came to America?
Is it possible that we want to do trade?
Thinking about it, this thing is not very reliable.
Because if we just want to do trade, just let the merchants come.
Shouldn¡¯t this guy who is the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet be allowed to come?
Zhang Tie kept complaining about this fat man who called himself Amor Tolan.
Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet?
What a joke, do you really think I am ignorant?
Although I wasn¡¯t very good at studying, I dropped out of school early and went to work.
But I still know this bit of history.
Throughout the seventeenth century, the navies of European countries were all over the sea, and your Ottoman Turkish Empire had nothing to do with it.
You guys are quite willing to put money on your face and still give shit to the Mediterranean Fleet.
Damn it, according to normal history, almost all of the future colonies will be owned by Europeans.
The Mediterranean is also the back garden bathhouse of Europeans, and you Ottoman Tš¹rkiye have no way to get involved.
Zhang Tie just thought about these words in his heart, keeping a smile on his face.
After following Zhao Hongyu for a long time, Zhang Tie also learned bad things.
"Oh, it turns out to be His Excellency Amortolan. We have received the news that you are coming to visit a long time ago. I just don't know what you are going to do when you come to our America this time?"
After a brief contact, everyone began to walk out of the pier under the guidance of Zhang Tie.
The carriage that greeted everyone was on the street outside the port.
Because there are too many people coming and going at the pier, the government stipulates that horse-drawn carriages cannot enter the pier.
Of course, this means that some goods will require manpower to transport, and this will make those laborers cheaper.
This can be regarded as expanding some employment opportunities.
In short, for some people living in Manhattan, there are some benefits.
Amor Tolan was looking curiously at the bustling Manhattan Pier. At this time, they were shocked by the prosperity here after landing.
Originally, after they arrived in Manhattan, they had been floating offshore for three days because there was no berth at the pier. During these three days, he also observed the situation of the pier through the telescope.
But after all, it was just a glance, and you can¡¯t really understand it.
Only when he landed in person and was in such a big environment did he realize how prosperous it was here.
Of course, he also learned more or less about it while at sea.
After all, there are many merchant ships parked at sea because there are no berths, and he is not the only one.
European laborers carrying goods in a hurry, blond and blue-eyed European children everywhere soliciting customers, and numerous vendors selling small commodities and snacks. Here he could see people who used various means to make money, but he just couldn't see them. beggar.
This made him feel very different.
Whether in ports in Europe or the Arab world, beggars are the most numerous.
As the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet under the Ottoman Empire, he has been to European ports and also arrived at Egyptian ports, so he knows this very well.
So, in his mind, maybe the ports of all countries in the world are basically like this.
However, when he arrived at the port of Manhattan in America, he discovered that what he thought was wrong.
Because here, he couldn¡¯t see those sloppy and dirty beggars at all, some were just people who were busy working.
Even children have their own things to do.
¡°It¡¯s not like the children on the docks in Europe or the Arab world who always crowd around people getting off the boat and ask for food or money.
This feeling made him immediately realize that the Americas were really different from theirs.
At that moment, he heard the question from Zhang Tie who was leading the way. Amortolan responded: "This time I came to America on behalf of our king. We heard from those European businessmen that they were in America." There is enough food supply here.¡±
¡°Oh, it turns out that I came here because of the food.
Zhang Tie understood very clearly now.
Zhang Tie still knows about the situation in Europe.
? European countries are now experiencing frequent wars, which in turn has affected the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
Everyone is at war, the people have become refugees, and a large amount of land is idle and cannot be cultivated, so food must have become a big problem.
People no longer farm, so will food still fall from the sky?
The food from the Ottoman Turkish Empire was often purchased from European countries.
Because the land in their country is not suitable for growing food.
Therefore, the yield is very low.
Therefore, they must import some food to alleviate domestic food problems.
Now that there are frequent wars in European countries, and even the common people no longer farm, then of course it is impossible for European countries to sell food to the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
This is an obvious thing.
Although many European merchants came to the Americas to trade grain, they only sold grain to European countries.
As for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, even if they could buy food from these merchants, the price was very expensive.
The Ottoman Turkish Empire has no way to deal with such a thing. Who makes Europe lack food now?
Finally, when the Ottoman Empire was forced to do nothing, they thought of leaving the European merchants behind and contacting the Americans themselves to see if they could buy affordable food from the Americans.
Because many businessmen say that the food purchased on the American continent is actually not expensive, on the contrary, it is very cheap.
As for why European prices are so high, merchants have raised a large part of the price.
If they can cancel this part of the Chinese-Canadian price, then people will not feel too stressed.
This is the ultimate goal of Amortolan coming to America.
Through Amor Tolan¡¯s words, Zhang Tie immediately understood his purpose of coming to Manhattan.
