Chapter 183: There are five more people outside
Scourge of the Americas?
And then the mess is left for future generations?
Zhao Hongyu disagreed with this in his heart.
But now he can't refute Wang Shan, after all, he really needs a lot of money to be able to develop modern products.
And if he didn't exploit the resources here, he wouldn't be able to get a lot of money.
"Let's talk about this later, it's still too early to talk about it, and the problem we need to pay attention to now should be how to establish good relations with the Iroquois and start trading in a short period of time." , Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan. "I have 300 million dollars in hand now, which seems like a lot, but in fact, as long as I use it, I won't have it."
Wang Shan nodded silently, of course he knew that to build a city and cultivate gene people, 300 million funds were far from enough.
This may seem like a lot of money, but as soon as the development is carried out, it will be spent immediately, and there will be no bubbles.
And Dunbar was chatting with Emma at this time, and the eagle feather crown Emma was wearing showed her status, making Dunbar very respectful of her.
In the custom of the Indians, to be able to wear a crown made of eagle feathers, it is definitely the head of a tribe or a powerful person. This is not something that ordinary people can wear casually, which is why he is so polite.
The average Indian warrior or tribesman has one or two or three eagle feathers on their heads. And this is a sign of their bravery, only when they have made a significant contribution to the tribe, or when they kill an enemy, they are eligible for an extra eagle feather as a headdress.
It's simply not something to wear around.
Of course, Dunbar was not without suspicion of Zhao Hongyu and them, after all, the whiteskins had used this to deceive the Iroquois in the early days.
The whiteskins got an Indian from another tribe and gave them a crown of eagle feathers, saying that they were the leader of a certain tribe to vouch for the whiteskins.
In this way, the white-skinned, black-hearted merchants could obtain large quantities of precious furs from the Iroquois without spending a penny. But often the result is that the Iroquois are deceived by them. The last merchant is gone.
As for the 'tribal' leaders who were the guarantors, they have all disappeared without a trace.
The Iroquois have suffered a lot from the white-skinned and black-hearted merchants in this regard.
However, unlike the white skins, Zhao Hongyu has good weapons and extraordinary clothes.
So. In Dunbar's opinion. Zhao Hongyu: They are not the kind of people who can deceive people at all. Most importantly, Zhao Hongyu's proposed trade method is exchange, not the white crooks who don't spend a penny to get goods.
Therefore, Emma is in Dunbar's heart. That's where it comes in a lot.
In addition, Emma said that she was the king of all the Indians in Manhattan, and the queen of the Song Empire, which proves that her status is not ordinary.
Although Dunbar didn't quite understand what the Empire was, he sounded like a powerful person from Emma's words.
I guess it's probably the name of a tribe.
Dunbar thought to himself.
In the idea of the Indians. There is no concept of empire, so it's normal that Dunbar doesn't understand it.
However, when Dunbar heard Emma say that there were about 30,000 or 40,000 people in Manhattan City, and that he also had more than 10,000 warriors, Dunbar realized the strength of the other party.
It stands to reason that with a population of two or three hundred thousand, the Iroquois must have more soldiers than Manhattan who could assemble for battle.
But the problem is that the Iroquois is a conglomerate, and Manhattan is completely dominated by Song.
It can be said that the Song Dan is better than any tribe in the Iroquois. He's much stronger.
It's just that compared to the united Iroquois, he seems a little weak.
But even then, it was enough to gain Dunbar's respect.
During the casual conversation with Dunbar, Emma reveals some information about Manhattan and recounts the war with the British that took place half a year ago.
With Emma's narration. Dunbar and his two buddies were dumbfounded.
Because Emma talked about Manhattan's way of fighting, and the war power and weapons that Manhattan had.
Artillery! Flintlock pistol!
Manhattan was even more proficient in the use of firearms than the Europeans.
At the same time, Dunbar noticed what Emma said about the occurrence and treatment of the disease. This made Dunbar look at Zhao Hongyu, and their eyes couldn't help but change.
To say that the war would only open Dunbar's eyes was to say that it would be too much of a game-opener.
The Iroquois could have mobilized an army of 50,000 men to fight. In this land, none of them are afraid, and they have never failed.
Therefore, he did not think that Manhattan's firearms were sharp and could pose much of a threat to them.
The French whiteskins in the northeast also had firearms, but suffered many defeats at the hands of the Iroquois.
Therefore, Dunbar's heart is confident, and he is not afraid of Zhao Hongyu at all.
However, for Zhao Hongyu's 'Song Empire tribe' to control the spread of the epidemic, and also has drugs to treat other minor ailments such as body fever and diarrhea, Dunbar can't be calm.
Despite the size of the Iroquois, there are many people who die every year due to some minor illness.
Because most of the Indians at this time only believed in witches, they often went to a wizard to exorcise demons when they got sick, instead of seeing a doctor and taking medicine.
Having said that, most of the wizards in the Indian tribes, they don't know how to see a doctor and treat a disease at all.
With the exception of the very few wizards, they learned from their ancestors how to cure one or two ailments, as well as herbs.
But there are too few such people.
There are tens of thousands of large and small Indian tribes on the American continent, but the tribes of wizards who have the knowledge to cure diseases can count them on one hand.
So, it's no wonder that Dunbar was so surprised that he couldn't even close his jaw when he heard Emma say that there was medicine in Manhattan.
And Emma, she really didn't talk nonsense.
On the Manhattan side, although Zhao Hongyu didn't make a lot of medicines, he still made a lot of cold medicines, laxative stops, anti-inflammatory drugs or something.
These medicines are extremely useful for treating some small products, after all, the people who live in Manhattan get the most diseases from small diseases.
However, if the small problem is not treated, it will eventually kill xìng.
Therefore, these medicines made by Zhao Hongyu can also be said to have become life-saving medicines for many people in Manhattan.
The genetics didn't think so, but the Indians and the Europeans who lived in Manhattan. But I don't see it that way.
After someone has been treated several times, everyone worships these medicines as miracle medicines.
Because in this era, there is no medicine so effective against diseases.
It only takes one or two small tablets, and the disease will basically dissipate the next day, which is unbelievable.
Although these medicines are somewhat expensive. However, everyone still thinks it's worth the money.
"Do you really have potions in your hands? It's the kind that can treat diarrhea. And children? ”
Dunbar asked, somewhat excited.
Seeing Dunbar so excited, Emma wondered what was wrong with him.
But she still nodded: "Yes, diarrhea or headache and fever can be treated." What do you mean by little children? ”
Dunbar just said the phrase 'there are still children'. Emma didn't understand, so he asked rhetorically.
"My child has some very strange diseases, do you think your medicine can cure it?"
Hearing this, Dunbar hurriedly explained.
Emma turned her head to look at Zhao Hongyu with a helpless expression.
This question can only be answered by Zhao Hongyu. She didn't know how to answer Dunbar.
It's okay for you to ask her to name a few drugs, after all, she has used them herself. But if you have to ask Emma to see a doctor, or explain the pharmacology and the specific symptoms to others, it will be a bit difficult for her.
After Zhao Hongyu saw Emma's eyes asking for help, he smiled and took over the conversation.
"I wonder what disease your child has? You made it clear, and I thought I could give you an answer. Seeing that Dunbar was so excited, Zhao Hongyu also understood very much.
After all, who doesn't think about their children as parents.
Subsequently. Dunbar relayed his child's illness to Zhao Hongyu.
After Zhao Hongyu listened, he whispered to Wang Shan.
Then Wang Shan nodded, turned around and left the tent.
Dunbar was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know what these people were going to do.
"Don't be nervous. I've heard you talk about the symptoms, and I think it's like a worm in your stomach. It's not a big deal, I have a specific treatment here, specifically for children. ”
Seeing Dunbar's twitching a little uneasy. Zhao Hongyu said to him with a smile.
The smile on Zhao Hongyu's face made Dunbar relax a lot, and the anxiety in his heart was much less.
"It just so happens that I also want to make a trade agreement with the Iroquois. Then I think I can send someone to follow you to your tribe, sign the trade agreement, and then give your child a medical treatment or something. ”
Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Dunbar was immediately overjoyed.
At this time, Dunbar's companion poked him behind him, leaned over and whispered to him, "You must hurry up and take us away, we still have five companions outside, although we are full, but they are still hungry." ”
Reminded by his companions, Dunbar immediately thought of the five companions he had left outside.
His face flushed, he enjoyed the food here and found a cure for his child. And his five companions are still starving outside.
Thinking of this, Dunbar agreed to Zhao Hongyu's proposal.
In Dunbar's opinion, the goods brought by these people will definitely cause a sensation in the tribe. And their goods are really good, and the price is fair and everyone needs it.
Therefore, there is no reason for him to refuse the other party's offer.
And I have to think about my companions outside, and leave here as soon as possible and go back with my companions
