    What is this?

    When the black bear saw the walking tractor, he immediately asked the guard who escorted the tractor here.

    "These are tractors that can transport goods. Of course, after some modifications, they can also be used to reclaim land. The Governor gave these tractors to you, presumably to be used to reclaim land."

    The guard didn¡¯t hide anything.

    Can this tin guy be used to reclaim land?

    The black bear looked in disbelief. He could not believe that such a strange-looking thing could be used to cultivate land.

    Of course, it¡¯s up to you whether you believe it or not. After all, my son-in-law has given me a lot of shock.

    Therefore, even if Black Bear doesn¡¯t really believe it, he still has a little bit of hope in his heart.

    You know, since his daughter Emma married Zhao Hongyu and he brought the Mohicans to join the empire and become citizens, he has seen too many things in Manhattan that he found incredible.

    So, for Black Bear, it seems that his son-in-law can always do something that shocks him.

    "Well, just put these things down. But how do you use this thing?"

    ?????????????? Black Bear is still completely unfamiliar with walking tractors.

    ¡°After all, this kind of machinery is beyond the scope of his Indian knowledge.

    So it¡¯s not surprising that he doesn¡¯t know how to use it.

    "We only need to escort you, but I think the governor will naturally have his arrangements. Someone will probably come over tomorrow to teach your men how to use this tractor."

    The guard responded very politely.

    The black bear nodded: "Oh, that's it, then thank you."

    "Now that we have completed our task, we will not bother you anymore."

    These guards who escorted the walking tractors have completed the tasks assigned by Zhang Tie, so they do not plan to stay here for a long time.

    The black bear has no intention of staying.

    Soon, after the handover is completed.  The guards left the farm where the black bear was.

    After the guards left, the bear circled the ten tractors several times.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Is it possible to recover the land?

    Why do I feel so unreliable?

    Although there was an answer from the guard, Black Bear still found it a bit unbelievable.

    Forget it, the answer will be revealed tomorrow.

    However, my son-in-law always comes up with some unexpected things, so this walking tractor should be a good thing.

    The black bear dispersed the onlookers on the farm and then returned to his residence.

    As soon as he entered the door, Emma's mother, who was Black Bear's wife, came over.

    "What's going on?"

    Black Bear waved his hand: "Our son-in-law has sent some things. He said they can be used to reclaim land. And it is much easier to use than manual reclamation. "¡ª¡ª

    Dividing line¡ª¡ª

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? chug!

    At noon the next day, in an uncultivated wasteland, the black bear no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood.

    Although last night, he had heard an explanation that this thing called a walking tractor was used to cultivate land.

    ¡°But he never imagined that this kind of walking tractor would be so much more powerful than human power.

    The small loading sidecar behind the walking tractor has been removed.

    At this moment, a somewhat rough iron plow has been installed.

    Because it is equipped with an iron plow.  Coupled with the walking tractor, it is now possible to cultivate 25 acres of land at a time.

    ? Compared to manpower, it is also very efficient.

    The black bear opened his eyes wide and looked at the tractor plowing the field with a shocked expression.

    Is it mine?  I just didn¡¯t expect it to work so well!

    Zhang Tie also came to Black Bear¡¯s farm today and brought an instructor to teach the farm how to use a walking tractor.

    "Master Black Bear, don't underestimate this thing. As long as you use this iron guy, the speed of your farm's reclamation will be increased by fifty times."

    Zhang Tie said to Black Bear with a smile.

    What is the concept of fifty times.  Not so sure about black bears.

    No??One thing that can be confirmed about Black Bear is that according to Zhang Tie, it is very effective.

    It¡¯s just unexpected.  Now the Empire has such a good thing.

    If this had happened before, I would never have dared to think about it.

    Black Bear looked at Zhang Tie and responded.

    Nonsense, if we follow normal historical development, let alone walking tractors.  You Indians have no future at all. Even the Americas will be given to the Europeans in the future, and you will become a minority.

    It is because of our relationship that your future is guaranteed.

    Zhang Tie kept complaining in his heart.

    However, you can¡¯t see anything on Zhang Tie¡¯s face.

    "This is nothing. As the empire grows stronger and develops, more good things will emerge in the future, and people's lives will be greatly improved by then."

    While talking, the walking tractor has already cultivated three acres of land.

    And the time has only taken less than fifteen minutes.

    This efficiency shocked Black Bear again.

    You should know that although there are many black slaves on this farm, if it is cultivated by manpower, it will not be cultivated by manpower.  Three acres of land requires dozens of people to work for half an hour.

    Not only is it labor intensive, it also takes a lot of time.

    However, now all this has been easily changed.

    It can be said that with these ten walking tractors, it has become easier to cultivate land.  It can also free up more than 200 laborers so that they can do other things.

    Although this farm is not owned by Black Bear himself, it is managed by him for his daughter and son-in-law.

    But we are a family after all.

    Of course Black Bear welcomes anything that can benefit his family.

    "It's great. With the expansion of the farm, the pastoral area has also expanded. I was worried about the lack of manpower recently. Now I have this walking tractor, which is much more convenient. "

    The black bear laughed happily.

    "Why, aren't there many slave merchants coming to do business in Manhattan now? How come there is still a shortage of manpower?"

    After hearing what Black Bear said, Zhang Tie looked a little puzzled.

    Looking at Zhang Tie¡¯s confused look, Black Bear knew that Zhang Tie might not know very clearly about this matter.

    So he patiently explained it to him.

    "Come here. Bring two chairs over and prepare drinks."

    Soon, the black slave servants who served Master Black Bear brought in comfortable chairs and tea tables.  And the black maids prepared the drinks very skillfully, and then stood aside respectfully.

    "It's true that there are many slave traders, but you also know that there are more and more farms near Manhattan. Therefore, everyone is very hungry for slaves. I can't buy too many slaves every time. After all, I have to consider other people.  ah."

    As Black Bear said this, he made a "please" gesture to Zhang Tie.

    Pick up the cup.  Zhang Tie took a sip of black tea.

    "According to Lord Black Bear, that means there is a huge shortage of black slaves now?"

    Black Bear nodded seriously and solemnly: "Yes, we have a great demand for slaves. Those slave merchants cannot meet our needs at all. Every farm is short of labor."

    The black bear looked troubled.

    Zhang Tie¡¯s mouth twitched and he thought: Grandma, I never expected that the Song Empire established by His Highness would encounter such a thing.  Will the social structure of the Song Empire develop into a slave society in the future?

    No, that shouldn¡¯t be the case.

    If this is how it develops.  Isn't this a step backwards?

    But what Black Bear said is the same, the lack of labor is not a problem, it always needs to be solved.

    And, judging from the current situation of the empire.  It's not realistic to use slaves.

    ¡°At least, in the process of empire development, those trafficked slaves are still needed.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Tie pondered for a moment.  Then he said to the black bear: "I will try my best to think of a way. I will meet with the slave traders and discuss with them. See if they can expand the scale and quantity of black slave trafficking. But don't hold on to this matter.  It¡¯s better to hope too much.¡±

    Zhang Tie cannot guarantee this.

    After all, the merchants who came to America to trade slaves were basically merchants from Portugal and France.  There are also some from the Arab world. The countries of these merchants are far from the Song Empire.?Powerful.

    Who allowed the ruler of the Song Empire to have a magical cheating device?

    So considering the national technical reasons behind these merchants, the slave ships they used for trade could not traffic too many slaves to the Americas at one time.

    At the same time, the losses during the voyage and some accidents must also be taken into consideration.

    This is why, after more than three years and almost four years, there are only two million slaves in the Song Empire.

    Of course Black Bear also understands this truth. He has lived in Manhattan for more than three years and is no longer the Indian bumpkin he was before.

    Furthermore, Heixiong also studied at New Oriental and Lanxiang Technical School for a period of time, so he also understood some simple principles.

    ¡°I¡¯m just complaining, of course I understand. If there is no way to change the current situation, it¡¯s okay. Anyway, just buy slowly.¡±

    The Mohawk guy who was operating the tractor jumped off the tractor and trotted all the way to Hei Xiong and Zhang Tie.

    "How's it going? Is there any difficulty in operating it?"

    Black Bear asked.

    The young mohawk boy shook his head: "I have already learned how to operate it. This knowledge was also taught at Lanxiang Technical School."

    "Well, you will be responsible for operating the tractor from now on. The salary will increase by 50%."

    With a wave of his hand, Black Bear decided the young man's job and salary.

    Zhang Tie added on the side: "If there is any problem with the tractor in the future, if you can't solve it yourself, go to the Ministry of Agriculture of the umbrella company for help. They will send people to deal with tractor failures and other problems."

    The young mohawk boy nodded excitedly.

    After shooing away the young mohawk, Zhang Tie and Hei Xiong started chatting again.

    "Recently, I want to expand the Manhattan Fishing Company. I wonder if Mr. Black Bear is interested in letting young people from the Mohican tribe work in the fishing company?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
