Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Shan was away on the field for more than a month. When he returned to the construction camp in San Francisco, he found that there were already many problems that needed to be solved.

    First of all, you can ignore other things, but if there is frostbite in this winter, he needs to solve it immediately.

    After all, the injured are people. Although they are basically vassal Indians, Wang Shan cannot ignore them.  After all, the most serious case of frostbite may lead to amputation, and Wang Shan does not want to see such a situation.

    If too many people suffer from frostbite, it will have a great impact on construction when spring comes.

    At the same time, injured people will also need a lot of medical drugs, which are also very expensive.

    ¡°Now is the time when there is a shortage of food here. After buying enough food for hundreds of thousands of people to survive the winter, Wang Shan will inevitably be short of funds.

    So, he doesn¡¯t want other problems to arise at this time.

    "Okay, I'll go take a look with you in a moment. This matter is serious and we need to solve it immediately." Wang Shan looked at the secretary seriously and said to him.

    ¡°Hmm, do you want to go and see it in person soon?

    The governor of the empire is quite conscientious and conscientious compared to the lords and nobles in his hometown.

    The secretary thought to himself after hearing this.

    This European scribe was just a commoner in Burgundy before he came to America.  At that time, his life was not easy at all. He basically had one meal but no next meal.

    He knows very well the character of the nobles in Burgundy.

    ¡°If it¡¯s tax collection, they are more active than anyone else.

    However, when it comes to asking them to perform their duties, these lords and nobles will start to shirk.

    Of course, when aristocrats exercise their first night rights, they will not shirk it.

    But after coming to America, he passed his studies and graduated with excellent results, and then entered the government department of the Song Empire.

    Through his own efforts.  Became Wang Shan¡¯s secretary,

    In his opinion, the aristocratic gentlemen here on the American continent are much more practical than those in Europe.

    ??Here in America, those in high positions are not arrogant at all. They will try their best to consider the needs of the people, which is completely different from the nobles in Europe.

    For example, if the governor he was facing were replaced by European aristocrats, they would not care about how many people were frozen to death and frostbitten, and they would not be so proactive in going to see where the problems are.  .

    Because of those European nobles.  In such a cold winter, they will never leave their castle and warm fire.

    But this also shows that the empire is not strong for no reason.

    With so many dedicated nobles in the Song Empire, it was difficult not to be strong.

    No wonder the British, Dutch and Spanish all suffered great losses at the hands of the empire, and even their colonies in the Americas were lost.

    Now it seems that this is not unreasonable.

    Standing respectfully in front of Wang Shan, the European secretary had many thoughts flashing through his mind.

    Finally, he felt that he could come to America.  And he became a citizen of the Song Empire, and he was really lucky to enter the administrative department of the Song Empire.

    He felt that he had been unlucky in the first half of his life, but seemed to be lucky in the second half of his life.

    ? Even he personally feels it.  As long as the Song Empire remains so strong and the nobles do their jobs so conscientiously.  Then it seems that it will not be difficult for the empire to reach a higher level in the future and stand on top of the world.

    Wang Shan had no idea what the secretary standing in front of him was thinking.

    Even if he knew it, he wouldn¡¯t think too much about it.

    after all.  He can't control a person's thoughts.

    Wang Shan sat on the sofa and pondered for a while. He kept thinking about why frostbite occurred in winter.

    Logically speaking, such a thing should not happen.  But now it has appeared.

    So, there must be something wrong here.

    What makes Wang Shan confused is that he can¡¯t figure out where the problem lies.  You must know that living in a yurt in winter can protect you from the severe cold.

    ¡°Because he and His Royal Highness had lived in a yurt when they first established themselves in America, so he knew this

    "Then what else do you have going on here?"

    Wang Shan took back his thoughts and asked.

    The secretary shook his head: "These are the more important things. The rest are small things. You can just deal with them when you are free. These are the things that need to be dealt with and resolved immediately."  ."

    Wang Shan nodded: "You don't have to worry about the food. I can definitely solve it here. I will also arrange things at the gold mine. Now you can take me to the Indians to see it."

    Generally speaking, the more important thing is the suspension of production of food and gold mines, but for Wang Shan, the food problem can be solved, and it can be solved in a short time.

    So, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about this matter.

    And the matter at the gold mine is no longer a problem because there are more than 200,000 prisoners.

    Twenty thousand prisoners were sent to the mine. These people can definitely create great benefits this winter. Although the cruelty behind this is unimaginable, what does this have to do with Wangshan.

    ¡°After all, those prisoners were originally enemies, weren¡¯t they?

    "Sir, don't you go home and have a look? Your wife has been worried about your arrival. In fact, we can go to the Indians tomorrow to have a look, but it will only take one night."

    Although this secretary admires the imperial officials' work style, there is absolutely no procrastination at all.

    However, he kindly reminded Wang Shan and told him to go home and take a look.

    ¡°After all, during the month and a half he was away on the war, the little European girl in Wang Shan¡¯s family who had been chasing him came here every day to ask for news about the army.

    Therefore, everyone knows that the governor's wife is quite nervous about him.

    The secretary is also kind-hearted.  After all, the Governor's wife is very young, and the Governor is also very young.

    Such a young couple, separated for such a long time, must have missed each other very much.

    Actually, if you want to visit the Indians, you can go the next day.

    However, Wang Shan waved his hand and said, "It's better to do business first. I can go back later."

    Since the Governor said so, what else could the clerk say?

    ¡°After all, this is the Governor¡¯s private matter.  And it¡¯s still a family matter.

    So, it¡¯s hard for him to say anything.

    If you say too much, what do you want the Governor to think?

    It would be bad if this caused a misunderstanding.

    Therefore, the clerk wisely chose not to mention this matter again.

    "Okay, I'll go get ready right now."

    As the governor of San Francisco, Wang Shan controls more than 40,000 troops under his command, so his status is very high.

    With the support of less than 500,000 Indians, Wang Shan can be regarded as the king of kings in this region, and he is also a big king in Europe.

    To know.  In the Middle Ages, lords with tens of thousands of people generally dared to call themselves kings. People like Wang Shan were basically very powerful beings.

    Of course, this is no longer the Middle Ages.  And this is America.

    But in the eyes of the Europeans who followed the army, Wang Shan's status was that of the master of a small vassal state.

    So, his trip.  It absolutely cannot be that simple, and protective measures must be taken.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what might happen if something happens.  That would be difficult to explain.

    And during this time, they were at war with the five major tribes in the plains. Although the war was over, the final result was that the five major tribes were defeated, the tribes were completely destroyed, and their tribesmen became prisoners.

    But there are still many warriors from the five major tribes who escaped and wandered in this area.

    Such people are very dangerous.

    Therefore, no one can guarantee that when the Governor goes out, he will not be attacked by surprise.

    So, when the secretary saw Wang Shan preparing to go to the Indian camp, he walked out and called a group of guards to accompany him.

    In this way, Wang Shan, led by the secretary, and a team of 200 people under the protection of the guards, went to the settlement of the vassal Indians.

    There are a total of fifteen Indian settlements of various sizes around Jinshan City, which is under construction. TheseThe Indians in the settlement area were all vassal tribes. After being accepted by Wangshan, they settled here.

    Wangshan provides them with protection, and these tribes have to work relatively hard to get the protection provided by Wangshan. It can be said that everyone benefits from each other.

    Of course, in addition to protection, Wangshan also provided many additional products that they had never seen before, as well as delicious food that they had never eaten.

    It can be said that this opened the eyes of the vassal Indians.

    At the same time, they also bid farewell to the triangular tents of the past and lived in the warmer yurt-style tents provided by Wangshan.  However, this kind of tent is not provided for free, they need to obtain it through labor.

    Fortunately, the vassal Indians did not think this was a problem. After all, only with labor can there be harvest, and the Indians also knew it.

    Along the way, the scenery on the road is easy to misunderstand, as if you have arrived at the Mongolian grassland in the 17th century.  Because at a glance, they are all densely packed with yurts.

    The Indian children wearing green military coats were playing in front of their yurts or helping their mothers with work.

    The Indians living here were very curious about the sudden appearance of a group of people.  They all stopped what they were doing and looked up at Wang Shan and the others who were galloping towards them
