Chapter 182 Welcome friends with good intentions(1/2)

We are from the Iroquoka Yuga tribe, my name is ‘Dunbar’ and they are my companions.

When Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan and Emma returned, the middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the three Indians introduced himself to Zhao Hongyu.

From his accent, it can be seen that the pronunciation of the Iroquois people is similar to that of the Mohicans. If there is any difference, it is that some slang words will be different.

This will not be difficult for Zhao Hongyu, who was given a language plug-in by the space-time trading machine.

No language in the world will become a communication barrier for Zhao Hongyu.

Wang Shan just understood a little bit of Moshigan language, and he had to speak it slowly, so he couldn't understand the guy's self-introduction.

But it does not prevent him from standing beside Zhao Hongyu and increasing his aura to his Majesty.

Emma is different, because the other party's language is not much different from their Mohicans, so she can understand.

At this time, although Emma was wearing a white polar bear fur coat, dressing herself up like a doll. When she returned to the camp, she immediately asked the maids to take out her eagle feather crown and put it on her head.

"I am the queen of Manhattan Indians, this is my husband, the Song Empire and the Indians of Manhattan. I am the daughter of the Black Bear of the Mosey Cadres. We are here for trade."

Emma's words had been taught by Zhao Hongyu long ago, so she said it very smoothly to these three guys.

Of course, Dunbar, the Mosey tribe, knew what Manhattan and the Song Empire were, so he didn't understand.

But at such a time, Dunbar can't ask so much.

"Dear Queen Emma, ​​King Hongyu, I Dunbar welcome you to the land of Iroquois. We are of course very welcome to friends and traders, but we will only take out our swords when we treat our enemies."

Of course the other party didn't believe Emma's words, so this guy named Dunbar had something to say.

Zhao Hongyu didn't care about this situation. He smiled and said to Dunbar: "We sincerely hope to trade with Iroquois here. For this reason, we have brought a lot of goods. You can take a look first."

Slap!

Wang Shan, who was standing behind Zhao Hongyu, clapped his hands at Zhao Hongyu's instructions.

Soon, some genetic people wearing European iron armor walked into this temporary tent with iron plates in their hands.

On the iron plate are placed some goods for sale and sale in Manhattan.

Bulk spices, mixed thirteen spices, matches, rice, pickled vegetables, Erguotou, iron weapons and farm tools, as well as combs, gunpowder, lead bullets, and labor protection clothing.

Of course, these are not all. After all, trade is just an excuse. The most important thing is to stabilize the Iroquois for a period of time.

After seeing so many products, Dunbar did not immediately show an interest. After all, he still doesn't know what these things are for.

Only the mesh gun was a little bit of intent. After all, the French also had this weapon, but because the Iroquois always had conflicts with them, the French would not sell this weapon to them.

You know, the French are not stupid, they also know that they should maintain an advantageous leading position in weapons, otherwise they would have been beaten by the Iroquois.

The Iroquois here are the bosses, and the French have been suppressed by the Iroquois.

This situation continued until the 7-year war between Britain and France, and Iroquois was completely collapsed after the United States.

The most important thing about Iroquois' ending is because of their own division, otherwise the Indians might have ended much better.

But this is all future events and has little to do with Zhao Hongyu.

Then, Zhao Hongyu introduced to Dunbar and his companions what these products were.

As Zhao Hongyu explained, Dunbar's eyes gradually became wider and wider.

Rice is food, which he could not have imagined.

The small wooden sticks in the box can easily ignite flames, which are much easier to use than the French flints.

Iron weapons and farm tools are also useful for Iroquoi villages.

As for pickled vegetables... well, they taste good.

Erguotou is very spicy, but it feels very strange after drinking it. It tastes better than the wines of French white skins.

The green clothing looks bloated when worn, but it is very warm, which is also very good.

While listening to the narration and introduction of the leader of the "Song Empire Tribe" in Manhattan, Dunbar became obviously interested in these products after experiencing or tasting them himself.

When Zhao Hong and Zhao said the "price" of trade, that is, exchange, Dunbar thought carefully and felt that these people were more fairer than French white-skinned people.

"We sincerely welcome friends who come with kindness. But why do you bring so many people? You must know that a small migrating tribe has only so many people."

Dunbar raised his own questions.

Zhao Hongyu smiled: "The road is not very safe, so bring more people to rest assured. What's more, we have too many goods, so we are worried about being snatched by those greedy white skins."

Poor white man became a bad guy again.

After hearing Zhao Hongyu's words, Dunbar nodded: "Yes, those white skins are very greedy. They peek at our land and prey. You are carrying so many commodities on the road, and it will be very unsafe to meet white people."

Because Iroquois people have been dealing with French white skins all year round, they don’t have a high likelihood of white people.

Especially since there are frequent frictions and conflicts between them, which makes the relationship between the two sides even worse.

In fact, this situation has something to do with the Iroquois united forces, and it also has something to do with some illegal and shameless businessmen.

At the beginning, the Indians were very simple. They were willing to use very valuable furs to exchange some valuable goods with the white people.

But even so, it cannot withstand illegal merchants using inferior goods to deceive the simple Indians.

It would be fine if the early Indians didn't know, but how could there be something in this world that would never be exposed?

As time went by, Indians came into contact with more and more white people and became more and more familiar with them. And after suffering many losses, the Indians woke up.

Especially the Indians in Iroquois, they began to resent the deceptions of the whites against them.

This is the same as the fact that later illegal Chinese merchants sold counterfeit goods all over the world, which turned out to make China's reputation extremely bad.

In later generations, Chinese people were also extremely respected. Whether in Africa or Dubai, in the end, they were all lost in the face of all Chinese people because of omnipresent fakes and some illegal elements.

Later, the Chinese people were looked down upon.

The Chinese businessmen who went to Africa sold all kinds of inferior counterfeit goods to Africans, and when they mentioned Chinese goods, they basically became synonymous with counterfeit goods. I have to say that they were really pathetic and pitiful.

And Dubai is the same.

At the beginning, many Chinese went to find gold in the Gulf Pearl of Arab countries. At that time, Dubai people were still quite friendly to Chinese people, but after Chinese people went there, they violated the law, which greatly reduced the sense of Dubai people towards Chinese people.

In the end, the Chinese simply treated them in Dubai and even Indians were not as good as those of Indians.

Zhao Hongyu had been to Dubai at the beginning, so he was very clear about this.

The same is true for the white people in this era. You should know that when they first came to the New World America continent, they were considered as messengers of God.

In this way, by comparison, the Chinese in later generations are actually no different from the white people today.

It’s just that everyone faces different people.

But this is a good thing for Zhao Hongyu. If the Iroquois and the French don’t deal with each other, then he can provoke profits from it.

As long as he can get more land for the future empire, sometimes it doesn't matter if the means are dirty. He wants to find a big territory for the Chinese genes under his command, and it is also for his descendants.

Emma can pay attention to three views, but it would be a bit brainless to talk about three views on land.

Is Zhao Hongyu a brainless person?

Obviously he is not.

Next, Zhao Hongyu left Dunbar and his two companions behind and enjoyed dinner with himself in the tent.

The fragrant rice, spiced with spices, roasted beef, stir-fried venison with pickled vegetables, and stewed with turkey ginseng all brought Dunbar a taste of enjoyment.

They have never tasted such delicious food, and they never knew that the food could be so fragrant.

For a moment, Dunbar and his companions couldn't even eat their heads, and they just lowered their heads and kept eating the dishes in front of them.

There is no politeness or humility in this era. It may happen in Europe, but the Indians do not have the false and hypocritical style.

Isn't it normal to eat more if you taste delicious?

"We will exchange this kind of rice, pickled vegetables and Erguotou with you. Fur, ginseng, and this..." Dunbar touched his body and found a few things that Zhao Hongyu was very familiar with.

Isn’t this potatoes and corn, as well as big peppers and sweet potatoes?

After seeing the things Dunbar took out, Zhao Hongyu was completely helpless.

He had a lot of need for these things earlier, but now he can buy this seed in the space-time trading machine. As long as he waits for the beginning of spring, the land reclaimed on Manhattan Island will start planting.

Not only those Dunbar brought out, but even cabbage, lettuce and tomatoes can be grown. At that time, the types of food in Manhattan will become more common.

But now he can't refuse Dunbar. After all, he hasn't grown this kind of food yet, so it's good to exchange it with the other party for some to satisfy his cravings.

Especially potatoes, it is delicious when stewed with beef.

Besides, he already has peppercorns and large ingredients on his hands, so there is no problem in making beef stewed with potatoes.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu swallowed his saliva before saying to Dunbar: "Well, can you exchange this kind of food for us? Well... it's not impossible, but we don't need a lot of it, so it's best to exchange it with fur or other things."

Dunbar nodded when he heard this, and he knew that the goods Zhao Hongyu had at hand were more valuable than the things he could trade.

Therefore, Dunbar did not object to Zhao Hongyu's proposal.

Then, Emma started chatting with Dunbar on behalf of the Manhattan Indians.

What she chatted with Dunbar was just clichés between Indians, and Wang Shan pulled Zhao Hongyu at this time: "Your Highness, look at the one on Dunbar's waist. If I read it correctly, it's gold."

Zhao Hongyu didn't see Dunbar who was talking to Emma, ​​and he had known about Wang Shan's reminder for a long time.
