The development of the Americas required manpower, and at the beginning it was certainly not possible to rely on the tribes or other Indians alone, and they had to have the strength to be loyal to themselves. It's not that the map is unreliable, but the Indians have their own beliefs, cultures, and habits, and these things cannot be changed in a short time. Strictly speaking, these lepers are people who have died once, and they have suffered all kinds of discrimination, bullying, and hostility, and as long as they can treat them as normal people, they will be relatively loyal to themselves. This is human nature, regardless of race and region, and the principle is universal.

With their joining, Luo Youde and Swan will have at least a relatively reliable force around them that can be trusted, plus the slave soldiers and craftsmen left last time, as well as the slave soldiers, slave sailors and craftsmen brought over this time, there are more than a hundred people. More than half of them can be armed into soldiers, and with this armed force, Luo Youde and Siwan can live more or less at ease, and at the same time, they can also promote a change in the thinking of Tu and her tribal elders.

As for whether there are any people in the incubation period of leprosy, Hong Tao does not dare to guarantee, but he can guarantee that one will be dealt with immediately if there is one, and the epidemic will definitely not spread. This is not only protecting yourself, but also protecting others, and everyone will understand. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just dispose of it together, and go to Lord Yama or God to avenge your grievances.

If these people really know about Entu as they think, then Hong Tao will have a stable way to replenish personnel. In all the countries of Europe, where lepers were banished, they could once again pretend to be angels, and in the name of rescuing these poor people, they would pick up those who had not yet fallen ill and send them to America. Let Swan train them into an army, and they will help him defend the land.

"What if they get sick?" Although Hong Tao said it easily, Luo Youde was not too relieved. Those who have abandoned their families and businesses to go so far to open up the wasteland must not be careless in anything. He also wants to see Luo Mei grow up.

"The disease is not contagious during the incubation period, and it is not contagious as long as you do not have close contact after the onset of the disease. I will write down the general symptoms of this disease to you, and write down the preventive measures, and you can check them regularly and deal with them if they are found to be sick. I'm just trying to get results. In two years, I will try to find time to come again, and if it is easy to use, I will find it for you again, it doesn't matter if it is not used, there are about 20 people in total. "Hong Tao is called standing and talking without backache, it's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do, especially the heavy mental burden. Who wants to stay with a group of people who are likely to get sick, terminally ill, and contagious all day long.

"I kind of understand now why you don't even blink an eye when you kill people, if they're sick. I think I'm going to kill them without blinking...... Alas...... I've been spoiled by you! Luo Youde couldn't say that Hong Tao could only passively accept it, at most complain a few words and say something soupy.

"This is called not in his position, not in his own office! Let's make a bet, I'll come back in two years, and you'll kill no fewer people than I do. If I win, you have to continue to kill, and if I lose, you can choose to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, dare to bet? "To everyone who dares to be sarcastic. Hong Tao will take the initiative to dig a pit for him.

"Don't bet! Resolutely do not gamble! "It's a pity that Luo Youde is very determined, no matter how fragrant the bait Hong Tao released. Just don't bite the hook.

The second time he crossed the Atlantic, Hong Tao's navigation level was much more accurate than the first time, because he had the chart he drew last time as a reference, and knew the approximate location of the island and the law of ocean currents, so he didn't have to explore while walking.

However, this voyage was no shorter than the last, because he would go around the sea from time to time. Not for anything else, just to stun this guy Swan. Because Swann had learned navigation, even if he didn't have surveying and mapping equipment, he would still get some information from the changes in the sun and stars.

When passing through Bermuda's Devil's Triangle, Hong Tao deliberately spared a large circle. This time, it's not to confuse people, but to find that sargassum sea. He was going to act as a magic stick again, to deceive the black and Saracen sailors on the ship, so that their hearts would be filled with fear and fear of themselves. In this way, when you get to the tribe of Tu, let them stay, it will be a lot less troublesome. Who would dare to confront God? If you have any opinions, put up with me!

After two years, four months and nine days, Hong Tao returned to the river in central Mexico and saw the small Indian village on the north bank of the river again. Before the boat could come to a stop, a big black cat scurried to the dock, hissing at the boat with its head up, trying to get on the boat along the gangplank in search of that familiar feeling, but did not dare to go too far, so it turned back to the figure that was running out of the village.

"Go, Tu, that's your brother...... Maybe it's my brother, do you remember it? "The Hong rat on the dock found a familiar smell, and the picture on the boat was just a little excited. It kept jumping up and down on the side of the boat, not because of its fear of the gangplank, but because it wasn't sure whether it should go down and say hello or stay on the boat safely.

"You're late! More than 100 days late! You lied to me! The two cougars are still trying, but Hong Tao and Tu don't have to be so troublesome. When he picked up the hot body, Tu began to accuse Hong Tao of breach of contract with tears in his eyes, and he still held the yellowed whale skin paper in his hand, the small grid on the top was all outlined, and a few lines were drawn on the blank space below.

"Oh, you're a fast learner, you'll count to more than a hundred. This is who taught you Chinese, and why do you still have a Shandong accent! Hong Tao didn't go to explain to Tu why she was late, she should be able to understand her difficulties, otherwise she wouldn't be worthy of being a tribal leader, and her IQ was insufficient. But the Chinese of the picture made Hong Tao very concerned, the words are not correct and not round!

"Then you teach me! Let me go, and let the elders see that it's not good. Tu was indeed a female man, and after less than a minute of venting, she remembered her responsibility, struggled to get out of Hong Tao's arms, and took Hong Tao's hand and walked towards the village.

The village has changed a lot, and two small waterwheels have stood by the originally bare river, one is pumped from the river to irrigate the farmland, and the other is actually a sawmill. It seems that the craftsmen who stayed behind have not been idle in the past two years, and they have brought their abilities to the extreme.

With the small sawmill, the living conditions in the village were first improved, and the original small thatched huts were no longer visible, and they were replaced by square stilt huts. This kind of wooden house is exactly the same as the one built by Hong Tao and his family when they first settled in Jinhewan, and even more elaborate, the bark is peeled off, and some are carved with simple ornaments on the door and stairs.

Another obvious change is that a row of walls more than two meters high has been built on the west side of the village, all of which are fixed by thigh-thick wooden stakes inserted into the ground, about three or four hundred meters long, all the way to the edge of the forest in the north. Every meter or two of the fence is missing, revealing a crack. Obviously, this is not the laziness of the craftsmen, but the reason for this is to make it easier to observe the situation outside the wall, and to shoot out from these gaps by the way.

"Everyone's worked hard, one, two, three...... Eight! How can there be two less people, them? Hong Tao did not go to the village elders for the first time, but chatted with the ten craftsmen he had left behind by the river first.

"The two of them have been dead for more than a year, and within a few months of His Majesty's departure, one of them was lost in the dense forest, and the other didn't know what he had eaten, and he even vomited and died within a few days. We buried them in the wasteland on the east side, and set up a stone monument for them. One of the oldest craftsmen stepped forward to answer Hong Tao's question in place of the others. If you don't look at the style of clothes he wears and listen to him, Hong Tao standing ten meters away will never recognize him as a Han Chinese, and he must have thought that he is also an Indian.

"Go, take me to worship them, this time I will bring a lot of people, it is estimated that there are sixty or seventy people, and they will stay here too. You have worked hard for the past two years, if you don't want to stay here, I can take you back to Karlburg, but you can't go back to Jinhe City, how to choose for yourself. There are still more than two months to go, so I don't want to rush it. "When these ten craftsmen stayed, they didn't know if they could go back, and they didn't explain it to them clearly, but they all chose slave immigrants who had no relatives or families in Jinhe City.

"I don't want to go back if Your Majesty allows it. The people here are nice, and I also married a local daughter-in-law who is pregnant. People look up to me here, the elders are very polite when they see me, and I love it here. As soon as Hong Tao's words fell, a craftsman had already stood up and expressed his position, very resolutely.

"I also want to stay, I will get married next month, if Your Majesty agrees, can you ask Your Majesty to come and officiate for us......" With the first one, there will follow.

"If you can't go back to Jinhe City, I'll stay here too, Karlburg is too desolate......" Not every craftsman has found a mate in the tribe of Tu, but when he heard Hong Tao say that he could only choose one between here and Karlburg, the remaining craftsmen also retreated and chose the tribe of Tu. If Carl had been there, Hong Tao would have liked to see what he would have to say.

"What's the use of the wooden fence over there, someone is attacking here?" After solving the matter of the craftsmen going to stay, and worshipping in front of the two lonely graves, Hong Tao walked back with the craftsmen and asked about the situation of the Tu tribe in the past two years.
