The sea breeze was howling, with a chill, a group of people were on this shore, the fleet had returned, they were going to transport food, Xiao Chuan was disappointed in his heart, and said, "Once you come here, it will be three months!" This! "The time is too long, I remember that my friend took a boat from the United States to Shandong, China, and went back and forth for half a month, which was too long to transport supplies.

The princess on the side understood what Xiao Chuan was thinking, he looked at him and looked at the boat to understand, Bing Xue was smart, she said, "From Shandong to the Japanese Invaders, from the Japanese Invaders to here, there are countless islands in between, we can build them on the islands and use them as transit stations!" This will reduce the cost of going back and forth."

"Ah, how do you know what I'm thinking" Xiao Chuan smiled, a surprise in his heart, the Americas that could only be reached in three months, in the middle of some islands, the latter simply built a supply point in Japan, but it was equivalent to shortening the channel, but this kind of time is still not enough, not enough, "Go back to Daming to make the steamship" Some parts can be processed with a milling machine, with the fitter.

Steamboats? The princess muttered the strange name, wondering what a steamship was. Xiao Chuan explained, steam ships, cement, of course, that is, the Ming army in front of them, the fortress, plus cement, and firearms, his first colony on the west coast of America was built.

"Cement?" The princess looked at the walls built by the Ming army, the white walls and the strange things, she had a strange color, these things made him curious, and some Indians came in the distance, they were the ones who had come from the Hopi tribe yesterday, mostly women, or children, etc.

The women, wearing straw hats, with oil paint on their faces, and strange things, rushed here, and some of them were not from the Hopi tribe, and some children, who seemed to be very afraid of the appearance of the Ming army, and they were all trembling, hiding in the distance and not daring to come. Where the nobles stood, all kinds of goods were placed in front of them, like a bazaar.

The last Indian woman walked over, the one with the grain in her hand, very frightened, picked up a soap, Xu Wenjue said, "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is a tiger, you have to take it quickly" The Indian woman did not understand the meaning of his words, but the anger in his words was heard, and quickly put a bag of grain where it was, that is, took the soap and left.

A group of Indians from afar came to exchange all kinds of things in their hands, furs, grain, and livestock, for soap, perfume, silk, and especially soap, and these Indian women were crazy, and this thing could easily clean their bodies.

They took soap and exchanged all kinds of goods, food, furs, even gold, and a few animal skulls, Xu Wenjue just wanted to scold his mother, and said, "What kind of thing is this, change one, change one" The Indian on the other side thought he agreed, picked up the soap and left, and his subordinates said "Hehe, don't shout, boss, we are rich"

Everyone laughed, although the way of exchange was nondescript, but the things exchanged were indeed very much, far more than the value of soap and silk itself, the bags of grain, a head of livestock, and even the yellow scarves in their hands were dozens of catties, and the items exchanged were indeed cheap assembly line products.

Ogawa even had a sense of guilt, was this exchange really good? The Indians went back happily with these things, and Ogawa did see something that surprised him! Walking over quickly, there was a jar in front of him, the tube looked ordinary, but inside was a viscous white liquid, seeing this white liquid, Xiao Chuan's face immediately showed solemnity.

"Rubber? It turned out to be rubber? His face showed shock, there was such a thing, and he immediately found the man holding the rubber in the distance and began to inquire about it, only to understand that this was the person he used to trade, and the origin of the rubber turned out to be traded with the weekly tribes in the south.

South? Where is the territory of Spain, rubber is produced in the Amazon, is the raw material for making shoes, tires, and various industrial items, which is also one of the purposes of his coming to the Americas, to find rubber trees, of course, can not be extradited to the Ming Dynasty, unless he can occupy a few places near Hainan Island in the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, rubber can only be grown in the Americas, and the tribal patriarch in the distance called over and asked him about the rubber tree, and he looked at the white iron tong with a strange face, and the milky liquid inside, and said, "My lord! This is the fruit of the rubber tree, and the people who produce this fruit are controlled by the white-skinned ghosts of the south."

Spain? Whispering, these things are controlled by Spain, and he is still just exploring the Americas, so it's better not to have a conflict with Spain, the patriarch said, "My lord, can you sell us some of your weapons yesterday" He said, with anticipation, he very much wanted those weapons of Ogawa.

"You said those firearms, and swords and shields" Ogawa wondered, why is this guy so interested in his own weapons, aren't they Hopi without war, the British fight from east to west, and the Hopi live in the westernmost part of North America, so they need weapons?

"There are a lot of powerful tribes here, we are not their opponents, we need weapons to defend ourselves" said the patriarch "And some tribes have fallen to the hateful white-skinned ghosts, willing to be their minions, I have thought about the tribe of the joint lieutenant to support King Philip and support his war, but not many people pay attention to me" He said with a kind of gloom in his eyes, "These people without foresight, they don't understand the greed of those white-skinned ghosts, and sooner or later they will regret it"

"I am willing to send troops to support King Philip," Ogawa said, his fortress on the west coast has been built, so he can test the combat effectiveness of the British colonists in this era, King Philip? The Hopi patriarch in front of him immediately showed gratitude, and wanted to bow his head in thanks.

"Don't thank me, I need you to take me to the south to trade this kind of thing" Xiao Chuan pointed to the rubber, this kind of pure industrial dye, for himself, his meaning is money, even if he makes rubber-soled shoes, he can make crazy money, the patriarch nodded hurriedly, as long as the strong man in front of him is willing to send troops to support the Indians, he believes that he is not the opponent of this group of whites. "My lord, I will definitely bring you rubber!"

Ogawa nodded, with a kind of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Is there any place near that produces gold and silver?" Ogawa asked, that is, he asked about the gold and silver minerals, that is, he locked his eyes on the gold and silver mines in North America, what is more profitable than digging for gold?

Of course, there is rubber, with it, I have ten ways to make a fortune in Daming, and I can't count them.
