Chapter 189: Cayuga Village
Early the next morning, the leader of the small team that went to the Cayuga tribe received a report from the genetic man. He immediately sent a genetic man back to Lake Ontario based on the important information of the information.
As for excuses, it's easy to find and won't attract Dunbar's attention at all.
Because the information he got from Dunbar was very important, he had to feed it back to Wang Shan and ask him to take some measures.
Next, the team moved on.
Because of the sled, which can move at full speed on the snow, the speed of the team is not ??
Destinations that usually take three or four days to arrive at, they arrived in just one night plus half a day.
This made Dunbar, who felt the power of 'technology' for the first time, really open his eyes.
And it also made him interested in sledding.
The sleigh is not a high-tech product, and there is basically no scientific and technological content.
So, under Dunbar's inquiry, the genetic man who was in the same car with him answered him in the affirmative, this sleigh can be sold and the price is not expensive.
That is, 300 bison skins or beaver skins can be exchanged.
In Dunbar's opinion, this is indeed very cheap.
Don't you know that this kind of sled is not worth the price at all, because the value of three hundred bison or beaver skins is far more than the value of the sled.
But, who let no one in the entire Iroquois Confederacy get their hands on this thing?
Besides, this sled is only useful in winter, and basically in three out of the four seasons of the year, the sled is completely useless.
Because of this, the genetics will tell Dunbar with great certainty that this thing can be sold to them.
Otherwise, if you try to make a flintlock pistol, it won't sell at all.
But even if it was so, Dunbar would buy it.
The reason is simple, with a sleigh car. Wearing the kind of warm clothes that the other party sells, they can also go hunting in the winter.
And after hunting, there is no need to worry about the handling of prey, and it is very convenient for sleds to transport these prey.
Speaking of pulling elk, this animal is also very good to catch.
When winter comes, herds of elk migrate from farther north.
There are a large number of elk herds that can be easily caught and it's very simple.
The team is led by Dunbar. Entered the village where the Cayuga tribe is located.
The genetics observed the tribesmen of the Iroquois and found that the people here had acquired some of the characteristics of a progressive society.
For example, there is fertile land outside the village, and the houses they live in are not tents, but wooden houses.
It can be said that they are now in the stage of developing from nomadic hunting to agricultural civilization.
If it weren't for the arrival of the whiteskins, perhaps a primitive rudimentary civilization would have been formed many, many years later.
However, as for the prospects of the Indians, the genetic people are not very optimistic one by one.
After all, even if the Iroquois had completed the evolution of their farming civilization, they would still be far behind the world as a whole.
Know the way. The European civilization and the Eastern civilization in the current world are basically very powerful.
European civilization, in particular, is about to embark on a different evolutionary path. And Eastern civilization began a dark period.
In addition, the Europeans came to the American continent, so it was destined for the Iroquois and all the Indians of the American continent.
"Don't look at it, everyone smiles at me. Although they are still very primitive, we have to have a good relationship with them, and maybe they will all be the people of our empire in the future."
The leader of the team turned his head and shouted at his companions.
A group of genetic people have understood, and the smiles on their faces show their friendly attitude.
Dunbar, on the other hand, kept explaining and telling what he was saying to the people who gathered around him.
Subsequently. Many of the Cayuga women turned over and ran back to their houses, and after a while they and their children took out a lot of furs and ran back again.
At this time, Dunbar turned over to the genetics and said, "Everyone is very interested in your goods, and they think the price is fair. So now you can show the merchandise to everyone."
With the order of the leader of the gene people, the gene people have been busy.
They unloaded the goods on the sleigh and laid them on the ground one by one to show them, and Gong Yuga people picked them.
Many of the Cayuga people sat around the sleigh and stared at each other, and they were all the first to see something that could move fast on the snow.
And Dunbar said something to the people with a look of anger.
Those who listened to Dunbar let out a 'hmm' and 'wow' of surprise from time to time.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Dunbar was a little smug.
At the same time, some people kept reaching out and stroking Dunbar's clothes.
Because Dunbar is now wearing a green sè labor protection army coat, and he is also wearing a green sè labor protection cotton suit, which is no longer the leather jacket clothing that is in the body.
"The clothes were very warm and I sat on this sleigh for a night and didn't feel cold. If I would have frozen, don't you think it's amazing."
Dunbar is like a man who has just gone on a fantasy journey and is telling his people about his fantasy journey.
"Here, I'll give you a feel."
Dunbar took off his clothes, pulled an older Cayuga who looked to be in his fifties, and then draped his military coat over him.
The Cayuga man followed Dunbar's example, put his coat on his body, and felt it.
Then, he glared at his eyes and nodded as he spoke to his companions around him.
What he meant was nothing more than that the clothes were warm, that Dunbar wasn't lying, that this thing could indeed withstand the cold or something.
All of a sudden, everyone was excited.
It is important to know that on the American continent, both the Iroquois and other tribes are afraid of winter.
Because they simply don't have effective ways to protect themselves from the cold, and they don't have clothes to protect them from the cold.
So, in the winter, there are always quite a few of them who freeze to death.
But now the foreigners brought by Dunbar can change the situation.
How could those foreigners not be excited when they had such good things that could keep them warm for the winter.
At that time, many people made up their minds to buy it.
And I heard Dunbar say that this kind of clothing is not expensive at all, and it only takes ten beaver skins to change it.
Ten beaver skins is a fart? The old fiber knocks on the hammer and says neon throwing and adding machinery? Moreover, the clothes made of beaver skin are still connected, and they are not warm at all, and they are not as good as this kind of clothes.
So, a lot of people think that this price is worth it.
However, these foreigners brought more than just warm clothes, they also had many goods that the Cayuga had never seen.
"Everybody's come to take a look? 獍谆ɑㄒ涣r 涣 5 Mu fade pretty Yi Sho Dun area unique to the large? This kind of food is very fragrant when it is cooked."
"What's in this little box is a match, just a small one can be lit.", the gene man pulled out one and scratched it on the outside of the box, 'Wow! Immediately after the sound, it burst into flames.
The small match caught the attention of many Cayuga women.
The Indian tribes of this era, they still drilled wood for fire. And in every tribe there is a fire that burns forever and is guarded.
In order to prevent the fire from going out, and at the same time to facilitate everyone to make a fire.
But even so, sometimes the fire will go out, and they will have a lot of headaches for this.
Therefore, after each extinguishment, everyone has to drill wood again to make fire, which is very troublesome.
The same will happen with the Cayuga tribe.
After all, the fire of the tribe is the result of everyone's efforts, but every family does not have the ability to take care of the fire. So if only there were matches, the original troublesome problem would be solved, wouldn't it?
Besides, the price of matches is not 'expensive' at all: a bison skin or a beaver skin can be exchanged for ten boxes of matches, and a box of matches has a hundred matchsticks.
That is, a box of matches can be lit a hundred times.
These are the Kayuga women, who are not very fine for numbers, and thus fall into the 'trap' of genetic people.
"Produced in Manhattan, the workmanship is good, and the gunpowder and buckshot are distributed ten rounds. You can exchange bison skins or beaver skins of the same height as the gun, and if you have something like this, you can come and see it if you don't buy it."
On the other side, a genetic man took out an arquebus and stood on the sleigh and shouted loudly.
The people around him are all Cayuga's male xìng.
It seems that both ancient and modern times will only attract men to such things as weapons.
"Is it true? A pelican in a certain way?"
The Cayuga people couldn't believe it, because the white skins didn't dare to sell to them, and these foreigners dared to sell them?
"Why can't you sell it? This thing is our own production, and it has nothing to do with those white-skinned people.", the gene man smiled and looked around. Besides, we've all brought our arquebuses, don't you believe it?"
The surrounding Kayuga people thought about it, they brought all the arquebuses, how could it be a lie.
So all of a sudden, the emotions of this wedge yuga man were ignited.
Wait for me, I'll go back and see if my fur is enough.
Hey, I've got that kind of golden stuff, it's something I've been building up for years.
I'll also go home and see what's there and come and get a arquebus.
"Let's try it, everyone can try shè for free??
Well, there's such a good thing!
The men of Cayuga suddenly became more enthusiastic.
