Chapter 147: Please be accommodating
Chapter 147 is also accommodating
"Sir, those two Spaniards have been hanging them for many days, do you want to see them this time?"
In the umbrella company of the wharf port, Zhang Tie sat calmly in his office room, and a genetic person who was assigned to him as an employee knocked on the door and came in to report.
"No, these two guys are not well-intentioned, we are drying them." Since then, Zhang Tie has told Zhao Hongyu the news since he came back, and he followed Zhao Hongyu's attitude and treated the two Spaniards coldly.
This made Gonzalez and Francisco very helpless.
They didn't know what was going on, and the officials of the Song Empire didn't want to meet with them.
In the past few days, Gonzalez and Francisco have been walking around the city of Manhattan and the harbor.
Although they slowly learned and engaged with the city of Manhattan, they found that their preconceived notions were completely subverted.
The Song Empire was not an indigenous civilization as they thought it was, and they had their own unique culture.
This culture is completely different from that of continental Europe.
And this culture can be passed on continuously, compared to the indigenous people they have seen, it is simply a heaven and a place, and it is completely incompatible.
In Manhattan, they also saw three schools.
There are three places where children of different ages are taught in elementary school, middle school, and high school.
This alone is much stronger than the countries of continental Europe.
They even sat in for a long time, although they couldn't understand what the honest people were saying. But with the help of the translator, they still know a little bit about it.
The knowledge taught in these schools is from shallow to deep, which is a very scientific way of teaching.
They also teach children how to write words, learn about nature, learn about history, and even have some chemistry lessons.
This gave the two of them quite a shock.
It can be predicted that these Indian children who have learned knowledge will definitely have a very high awareness of the Song Empire in the future.
At the same time, all of them are literate and can write.
I even know some historical knowledge, as well as natural and chemical knowledge, which will be very helpful in any industry in the future.
You must know that in today's European countries, illiteracy is still full of streets.
In addition to the school, the neat streets, the well-planned sanitary places, the security management personnel who appear from time to time, all of which made them feel fresh and shocked.
Discipline is so strong that they feel it the most.
It can be said that the people of the Song Empire have a habit of abiding by the law in their hearts.
A disciplined nation is strong.
How could Gonzalez be unaware of this, but Francisco.
In the event of war, such a country can be a soldier for all of its people, and everyone is a qualified jīng warrior.
This is not a country that is easy to get along with, and there is no doubt about their strength.
At the same time, the two of them were also interested in the flintlock pistols on the shoulders of the genetic warriors who walked by on the streets of Manhattan from time to time.
The body of this gun is slender, not as rough and simple as the arquebus, and it has a very streamlined beauty.
At the same time, the weight of this gun is very light, and there is no need to set up a gun carriage when it is fired, and there is no need to have an ignition fuse to fire gunpowder and lead bullets.
And at the head of the gun, a long bayonet can also be mounted.
It's a pity that those warriors of the Song Empire didn't give them a chance to take a closer look at this weapon called the 'flintlock pistol', and even when they asked to touch it, those warriors of the Song Empire looked at them very timidly and refused without hesitation.
The two of them had a deep understanding of the jǐng tixìng of the soldiers of the Song Empire.
In addition to these, the two of them also got a glimpse of the goods of the Song Empire during these days.
The beautiful porcelain of Jīng immediately made them see the business opportunities and huge profits in it, and the neatly stacked grain at the dock also made the two of them see the opportunity to alleviate domestic food prices.
Matches that are simple to use are also very popular and marketable goods.
Mustard is a new food, but there may not be much market in Europe.
There may be some market for labor protection winter suits in the military, which can help legions everywhere resist the cold of winter in winter.
These spices from the Orient have broad prospects on the European continent like porcelain, and the thirteen spices mixed with thirteen spices are even more exciting for the two of them.
And the docking of the British merchant ships on the dock also gave the two of them a deep sense of crisis.
The British had now started trading with the Song Empire first, and if they didn't refuel, the markets on the European continent would be completely controlled by the British.
This made the Spaniards, who had a grudge against the British, something unwanted.
Now what they have to do is to immediately meet the Minister of the Royal 'Umbrella' Company with the right to foreign trade in the Song Empire and sign a trade agreement with him.
But this minister of the Song Empire didn't know what was wrong with Lu Dao, and he always prevaricated and made excuses. Did the British say something to them?
The two Spaniards who were sad thought that the British were doing something behind it, but they didn't think much about it.
Although defeated by the British decades ago, Spain is undeniably strong today.
It's unacceptable when they've been treated like this.
However, the Song Empire is not those natives, they have jīng sharp troops and warriors, so Gonzalez and Francisco can only honestly accept Zhang Tie's 'teasing'.
If this had been done in Central America, Gonzalez and Francisco would have been treated like this, and with a Spanish ship and four hundred soldiers on board, they would have attacked the natives with arrogance.
However, here in Manhattan, they have to be coiled by dragons, and tigers have to lie down.
The situation is stronger than people, and the Spaniards also know the truth of persimmon picking soft pinching. The Song Empire in North America was not the Incas in Central America who were conquered by Spain.
If they did, the Manhattan guards at the port pier alone would be able to wipe them out in a short time.
A few days ago a shipload of British Yankees came to Manhattan, and these guys were just for molesting Indian women, and after being scolded by the vigilantes with strips of cloth on their heads, they clamed for bombardment of the harbor.
But what about the result......
As a result, they were all arrested, and the leaders were put in jail and fined.
And the garrison of the port at that time, with its quick reaction and neat queues, as well as aggressive tactics, was an eye-opener for Gonzalez and Francisco.
The garrison of more than 100 people suppressed more than 300 rioting British in a short period of time, and their methods were cruel and tyrannical, cold-blooded and ruthless, so that the two of them are still a little scared when they think about it now.
The more they came into contact with the Song people in Manhattan and the more they got to know them, the more the two Spanish envoys felt that they were unfathomable.
Today, the number of people living in the vicinity of Manhattan alone is close to more than 100,000.
Of course, what the two of them didn't know was that ninety percent of these people were Indians. And the population of genetic people under Zhao Hongyu's direct rule is only a few thousand.
But even so, it was terrifying to the two Spaniards.
A city with a population of 100,000 people, and only a fiefdom of the Imperial Crown Prince. It can be seen how powerful this empire is, and how terrifying the fighting power will be.
It is precisely because of this superposition of various reasons that the two of them have been exposed to Zhang Tie for so long, and they dare not have any complaints in their hearts.
In the face of the strong, maintaining awe is the only rule of survival.
You must know that even when they were at the most powerful Spaniards, when they opened up the eastern shipping route, they were not inferior to the powerful Ming Empire.
And now the Dutch, who have seized the Eastern Passage, are also cautious in the face of the Ming Empire, constantly slapping a small official on the back.
"Go back, we are very busy right now, and we don't have time to meet you yet." After receiving Zhang Tie's instructions, the gene man came to the company's lobby to inform Gonzalez and Francisco.
"Please let me know again, we've been waiting for a lot of days." Gonzalez bowed and saluted as he said to the Gene Man.
Of course, the genetic people can't understand his words.
Spanish is not popular among genetic people, but English is a good job.
But they also brought a translator, who knew English.
Therefore, his words were translated so that the genetic people could understand them.
looked at the gene man with hope, but unfortunately the gene man shook his head coldly, completely dashing their hopes.
"As I said, my lord is very busy now, we have a lot of goods to be unloaded at the dock every day, and there are many goods to be loaded on the ship, which need to be managed by adults, so come back in a while."
"Please be accommodating." At this time, Francisco took out a leather bag from his bosom and stuffed it into the hands of the genetic man.
There was a constant clanging sound in the bag, and it looked like it was full of metal colliding.
Genetic people are not stupid, and you can't see what Francisco means there.
He belongs to the kind of genetic person who has the dúlì thinking and wisdom xìng personality pattern, so he knows more about this aspect than the genetic person of Mune.
And the reason why he came to the umbrella company was not only to seek a career, but also to avoid the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
He flipped the bag in his hand, felt it for a moment, and finally gave a little smile to his face.
"Okay, I'm trying to give it a try, but I advise you not to get your hopes up too much, our grown-ups are very weird."
After putting the money bag in his pocket, he turned and walked in, reminding them at the same time. (To be continued.)
