Chapter 139 Five-Star Red Flag Flying (Please Support the Genuine Version)

After some persuasion, little Emma finally stopped pretending.

Emma, who has recovered her book, is like a deer that has jumped off, constantly wandering in front of various stalls.

However, the street vendors in Manhattan basically sell all kinds of wild animals, as well as meat or furs, and there is nothing that little Emma likes.

Even the occasional British goods were only crosses and iron daggers.

It's still not as good as the 21st century, if it's the 21st century, there will be a lot of small goods, and Emma is estimated to be dazzled.

Looking at Emma's slightly disappointed eyes, Zhao Hongyu thought helplessly.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongyu saw an outside-bound Indian in front of him, and a colorful parrot stood on his shoulder.

And that guy was selling the same birds he had caught from there without knowing how to do it.

"Let's go over there, you see the guy sells pretty good birds." , Zhao Hongyu walked up to Emma and whispered to her.

Hearing this, Emma looked up.

"Ah, what a pretty bird."

Seeing Emma's interest, Zhao Hongyu was relieved.

After the two walked over, Zhao Hongyu asked the price.

Thirty silver coins are not bargained, because such birds learn to speak.

After hearing the price offered by the Indian, Zhao Hongyu didn't care.

He could afford thirty silver coins, and it was no problem at all.

The main thing is to see if Emma likes it or not.

When little Emma heard that the bird could learn to speak, she said she was a little unconvinced.

Seeing that the little girl did not believe what he said, the Indian was not angry, he raised his hand and stroked the parrot standing on his shoulder, and then said a word in English.

Then the parrot flapped its wings and spat out a long list of words.

Hello! It's too expensive! Cheaper! Bastard!

Dare you, this Indian is from the Virginia area.

Only Indians in Virginia speak English.

Zhao Hongyu had a preliminary judgment.

"This bird has to follow its owner for a long time before it can speak. First of all, it needs a learning process, so what language it learns depends on what language the person raising it says. ”

The Virginia Indians patiently explained to Emma.

"It's fun!"

Emma's eyes lit up, and she could see that she was very fond of this parrot that could learn to speak.

Zhao Hongyu signaled, and Wang Shan, who was following him, walked over, took out thirty silver coins from his pocket and handed them over.

Smoothly bought a relatively small parrot from this guy's hand, and Emma quickly held it in her arms and began to whisper to it.

Seeing that Emma liked it, Zhao Hongyu was relieved.

After the Indian had taken the thirty silver coins, he turned and walked to a nearby building, which was a place for paying taxes.

20 percent transaction tax, which is the rule in the city of Manhattan.

If you don't pay your taxes, you won't be able to go into town in the future. Even outside the city, they will be evicted.

The Indians of Virginia, although influenced by the British, became very philistine. But they still understand one thing, that is, only by following the rules can they make a lot of money.

Besides, the third brother across the street is not a vegetarian.

If you make a deal, but you want to leave without paying taxes, Ah Sange will make a move.

There were once unbelieving Englishmen who wanted to leave if they didn't want to pay taxes, and they were directly expelled after the worst eventually. There are many examples of not even being treated outside the city.

And the city has to pay taxes, but it's safe.

Outside the city can be unsafe.

"Let's go, aren't you going to the port. It just so happens that I want to go over and have a look, and there are a few merchant ships that have come to trade with us today, and I want to see if they have brought any goods. ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled and looked at Emma who bowed her head and talked to the little parrot.

Uh-huh.

Now the little Emma can't take care of Zhao Hongyu anymore, and her attention is now on the little parrot, and she is talking to this little guy.

Unfortunately, this parrot is still too young, and the first time it has heard about Mosican, it has not yet been able to learn.

I don't know what this little parrot is, but the city where it is located has more than one language. The language it will learn in the future will give it a headache.

After leaving the shopping street, the group mounted their horses and ran towards the port outside the city.

The port is not far from the city of Manhattan, which is a mile away.

And when the city of Manhattan was built, in order to consider the convenience of access, Zhao Hongyu also specially laid a cement road.

The concrete road leads from Manhattan to the port on the east side, and the road is so wide that in the future, even five or six horse-drawn carriages can run side by side.

Giggle! Giggle!

The horseshoe nailed to the horseshoe made a crisp sound on the concrete pavement.

Since Emma couldn't ride a horse, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to put her in front of him and let her ride with him.

Behind Zhao Hongyu was Wang Shan and nine guards who followed closely.

After a short while, they came to the outside of the small market at the port.

In the distance, a tall flagpole was erected there, and a five-star red flag fluttered in the wind.

Yes, Zhao Hongyu took out the five-star red flag as the national flag of his 'empire'.

For Zhao Hongyu's approach, all the Huaxia gene people are very much in favor, and for this reason, Zhao Hongyu also obtained the benefit of loyalty +10 from the Huaxia gene people.

The flag of the red sè, one large, four small and five golden sè stars.

And next to a courtyard-like building at the port, there is another kind of flag in addition to the five-star red flag.

A red and white octagonal geometric flag with a black background is waving in front of the building.

This is the logo of the umbrella company in the movie Resident Evil, and this logo was borrowed by Zhao Hongyu's 'copycat umbrella' company.

At the door of the umbrella company, dozens of strong men wearing labor protection clothes, but with a standard European and American appearance, stood there fully armed with honest arquebuses.

These were mercenaries recruited by the Umbrella Company, all of whom were British from the Virginia area, although there were also a few Spaniards and Dutch who lived in Virginia.

Strictly speaking, they are not Zhao Hongyu's soldiers, but the armed forces of the umbrella company.

But the problem is that Zhao Hongyu owns 50% of the shares in the umbrella company, so he is also the big boss of these people.

Although these mercenaries also wore the costumes of the queuing party, the appearance of this costume was different from that of the regular army.

The regular soldiers in Manhattan wore red sè clothes with white sè buttons, a pair of black sè pants, and a pair of black sè boots.

Because it was late autumn, the regular army also wore a cylindrical bearskin hat and gloves, and also issued a red sè woolen army coat with thick cashmere.

The mercenaries of the umbrella company wore green sè labor protection clothing, and were issued with leather labor protection boots, green sè military coats and 'Lei Feng' cotton hats.

This is the winter attire of the Mohicans, except that it is now distributed to the mercenaries.

At the same time, on the left arm of these mercenaries, a black sè armband is covered. It has a pattern composed of three thin crescents, which is also the symbol of the Umbrella Armed Man in the movie Resident Evil.

I don't know if Lu Dao is Zhang Tie and Song Hu out of bad taste or what, anyway, the copycat company under Zhao Hongyu completely copied the Resident Evil.

When they arrived at the port, two British merchant ships and another Portuguese merchant ship were unloading. The dock was bustling with people, and the mercenaries of the umbrella company were constantly patrolling the crowd with jǐng ti eyes.

Zhao Hongyu had to sigh, in this era, it is very good to have money, and someone will sell your life if you give money.

Yes, these Europeans who entered the umbrella company as mercenaries, that is quite conscientious. As long as you have the money in place, you can even let them attack their own country.

Previously, there were many Britons who were cleaned up by these mercenaries at the port, which gave Zhao Hongyu a thorough glimpse of the people who were 'dedicated' for silver coins in the times.

Of course, the Umbrella Company's armament is not all mercenaries, and half of them are genetic people.

After all, the company's armed strength can't all rely on these mercenaries, Zhang Tie still has to guard against it.

Therefore, the leaders of these mercenaries are basically served by genetic people.

At the same time, it is also equipped with thought guides, who are comparable to political commissars.

Now the first three genetic people who followed him, Zhang Tie managed the umbrella trading company and shipyard, as well as all the commercial trade in Manhattan.

Song Hu managed the city of Manhattan and the troops, as well as the security of Manhattan.

These two can be described as one article and one martial arts, which saved Zhao Hongyu a lot of heart.

And Wang Shan is determined to be Zhao Hongyu's dog leg for the rest of his life, so he has always followed Zhao Hongyu's side.

However, Wang Shan managed a 500-strong guard, which was outside the military system and directly belonged to Zhao Hongyu's private armed forces.

In addition, Wang Shan was also responsible for the formation of a secret intelligence unit, which was specially used to collect intelligence.

It can be said that Wang Shan is the head of Zhao Hongyu's Praetorian Guard and the head of the spy.

With the development of Zhao Hongyu, a perfect system will be established around him slowly, and now everything is just beginning.

Due to the establishment of the port, and the entry and docking of merchant ships, this originally deserted port spontaneously formed a small market. Some Indians and British from Virginia started trading here.

One of the most popular is pimping and selling meat.

The sea has been held for so long, and the sailors can't hold it one by one. So the first thing they did when they went ashore was to drink and find a woman.

For this kind of thing, Zhao Hongyu will not stop it.

Anyway, as long as you don't do it in Manhattan, you can do it anywhere else. (To be continued.)
