Chapter 178: A Man's Business

Today's Mohicans, in addition to hunters, more people have come to Manhattan Island to graze.

For their part, they prefer this way of life to the rigid military life.

Even the black bear himself thinks so.

Of course, these Mohicans all retained their military status in the Song Empire, although they were not in the army now. But when there is a foreign war in the empire, as long as a conscription order is issued, then they will enlist in the army.

On this point, the Mohicans agree.

After all, Zhao Hongyu married the daughter of Emma, the chief, and Zhao Hongyu was also their Mohican. In addition, they Mohican people have now all defected to the 'Song' Empire, so it is normal for them to fight for the Song Empire.

It was only because they were not accustomed to the life of that kind of army that the Mohicans turned into militia. In times when there is no war, they can choose the way they like to live.

And because of Emma's relationship, Zhao Hongyu also arranged a living guarantee for the Mohican people, that is, to let them become ranchers. Let them all have their own property, so that they can have a stable life.

Externally, Zhao Hongyu of course released it in the name of Emma, after all, Emma is now his wife. It is also necessary to gain a good name for Emma, so that the people of Mohican will support Emma even more.

And after Emma married Zhao Hongyu, she was enshrined as queen by the Indians in the Manhattan area, so Zhao Hongyu needed Emma to have a great reputation in the hearts of the Indians.

"This year is just the beginning, and next year we will have a better life." , Black Bear's wife glanced at him and said to him with a smile on her face.

The black bear family will look at their cattle and sheep every day, and every time they see these cattle and sheep that belong to them, their hearts will be very satisfied.

With these cattle and sheep, they don't have to hunt at all.

Because these cattle and sheep will continue to give birth to new calves and lambs, they only need to sell a part of the adult cattle and sheep every year, and they can get a lot of money.

And because cattle and sheep belong to their own relationship, if they want to eat meat, they only need to catch one from their own cattle and sheep, and they don't need to go out to hunt at all.

These lives were brought to me by my son-in-law.

Thinking of this, the black bear couldn't help but feel happy.

Thanks to knowing Zhao Hongyu, and thanks to marrying his daughter to him.

I have obtained such a happy life, and even the lives of the Mohican people have been greatly improved.

He knew very well that this treatment was only available to the Mohicans, and not to the other Indians who joined the empire later.

If they want to live, apart from joining the army, they can only go out to hunt or trade on their own.

It's so comfortable to live there with the Mohicans.

"Grab a lamb and go back, today I will eat roast lamb." , the black bear said to the shepherd boy. The little shepherd boy of Mohican, who was hired by the black bear, immediately rushed into the flock and picked a little lamb.

Since Zhao Hongyu made thirteen spices and bulk spices, the recipe of the Mohican people has added another food.

Roast lamb!

Yes, with the presence of spices, this roast lamb tastes very fragrant. Everyone who has eaten food with this spice added to it will never forget it.

You must know that when Zhao Hongyu did not come to the Manhattan area, the food eaten by the Mohican people was just a little salt, and there was no cooking at all.

And more often than not, they don't even have salt in their food, which is a very scary thing.

But since Zhao Hongyu came to Manhattan, the people of Mohican have discovered that the original food can still be cooked like this, and it can be so delicious.

Besides, now many geneagenic young people have found Mohican girls as wives, and many Mohicans have learned a lot of cooking methods from those genetics.

Today's Mohican recipes are no longer as monotonous as they used to be.

All of this is the change brought about by Zhao Hongyu and his genetic people.

However, due to the scarcity of ingredients in Manhattan, many of the delicious flavors are not presented.

But everyone is confident that when the next year's chūn day comes, they will be able to plant some vegetables.

Anyway, Zhao Hongyu had already purchased the seeds, and now he was waiting for the chūn day to come.

The shepherd boy caught a little lamb and ran back as fast as he could.

The black bear sat on horseback and smiling and bent down to take the lamb from the shepherd boy's hand.

"Alright, you can continue grazing, and I'll go back."

With that, he gestured to his wife, then turned his horse and galloped towards the Mohican station.

His wife followed, urging her horse to follow.

The couple quickly returned to their Mohican residency on Manhattan Island.

Today's Moxican station is the wooden camp built by Zhao Hongyu.

Now it has been renovated and reinforced, and a fortress made of wood and brick has been formed.

Most of the Mohican lived in the fortress.

While they live here, in addition to grazing, they can also be an armed force to defend Manhattan Island. Beyond the fortress is a large area of cattle and sheep pens.

The size of the herd depends on the size of the herd, and the largest barn there belongs to the black bear.

The Black Bear family invited a lot of people, in addition to helping the women and children who were grazing, there were also many British women. Most of them worked as servants in the Black Bear's house.

Who would have thought that the Indians would hire white domestic servants in their homes.

But that's not surprising in Manhattan.

"Sir, you're back."

A fat man from Virginia who was invited by Zhao Hongyu to be a housekeeper for the black bear, saw the figure of the black bear riding a horse from a distance, and came to the door to wait.

The black bear rolled over and dismounted, and threw the reins and the lamb to him.

"Tell the cook, I want to eat roast lamb for dinner today, so that he can sell some strength and cook it well." The black bear swaggered into his home, and the hired white women leaned over in unison to salute.

"It's good, sir." , The fat butler answered, handed the lamb to a maid and instructed her a few words, and then followed the black bear in small steps: "Master, Lord Song Hu of Manhattan City sent someone to find you, but you were not there at the time, so he left." But before leaving, he left a letter. ”

"Oh, then show it to me."

Hearing this, the black bear said to the housekeeper.

Nowadays, the people of Mohican have to learn some words every day, so in just half a year, most people can be considered to recognize some words.

Although in the eyes of those teachers who taught them, these people were still illiterate, but they were certainly much stronger than before.

At the very least, they have learned a lot of the words of the first grade of primary school.

And the black bear is Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law and the owner of the white flag. He had to study hard, because he felt that he couldn't pull the hind legs of his son-in-law and daughter.

Besides, a lot of children do, why can't he be a black bear.

Unlike the Mohicans, who are reluctant to learn, the black bear is very willing to ask for a culture.

Therefore, he can still understand ordinary letters.

"I don't know what happened to Song Hu sent someone, it can't be that there is a problem with her daughter and son-in-law." , Zhao Hongyu's mother-in-law said to her husband with some worry. She is very clear about Zhao Hongyu and Emma's trip to the Great Lakes region.

The black bear shook his head: "It shouldn't be, if something goes wrong, then the people sent by Song Hu won't leave." Obviously, this may not be a big deal, so don't think about it. ”

Soon, the fat butler came back with a letter.

The envelope was sealed with a red candle and a large dragon-shaped pattern printed on it, which was exactly the pattern of the military department of the Pentagon, where Song Hu and the others were located.

I opened the seal and took out the letters inside and looked at them.

"What's the matter?"

Black Bear's wife asked.

The black bear waved his hand and let the fat butler go a little farther, and then said to his wife: "Song Hu is going to conduct military training and train those soldiers, in case our son-in-law's nuclear energy will provoke those Iroquois." ”

He replied to his wife and nodded.

As for Song Hu's approach, Black Bear believes that it is completely necessary.

It doesn't matter if others don't know about it, but he knows more about Iroquois.

This super tribe in the north, their people are not easy to talk to.

Because of their strength, many times they are not afraid to provoke trouble or even kill people outside the tribe.

In this era of force and strength, the Iroquois are so domineering, they also have their own domineering capital.

That is, they have a large population, and the number of warriors they can fight is very large, which is simply not something that other Indian tribes can deal with.

It is precisely because of this that the Iroquois slowly become domineering and arrogant.

In their opinion, there will be no one who will be their opponent at all, people from other tribes are not, and neither can whites.

"It seems that I also have to prepare, and cooperate with Song Hu on Manhattan Island to carry out military training. Not only we, the Mohicans, but also the warriors who have taken refuge in other tribes have to practice cāo. ”

After walking over to a candle and burning the letter, the black bear said to his wife.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not her son-in-law and daughter who were in danger.

"It's your man's business, you can just do it yourself." The women of Moxican don't care about the men's affairs, for her, she only needs her husband, daughter and son-in-law to live well.

She wouldn't bother with anything else. (To be continued.)
