What is this?

When the black bear saw the walk-behind tractor, he asked the guards who were escorting the tractor here.

"This is a tractor, which can deliver goods. Of course, it can also be used to reclaim land after some modifications. The Governor gave you these tractors, presumably to be used to clear the land. “

The guards didn't hide anything.

Can this tin guy be used to reclaim land?

The black bear looked incredulous, and he couldn't believe that such a strange-looking thing could be used to clear the land.

Of course, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, after all, your son-in-law has already brought a lot of shock to herself.

Therefore, even if the black bear doesn't believe it very much, he also has a little bit of expectation in his heart.

You must know that since his daughter Emma married Zhao Hongyu, and he brought the Mohicans to join the empire as citizens, he has seen too many things in Manhattan City that he feels incredible.

So, for the black bear, it seems that his son-in-law can always do something that shocks him.

"Alright, you can put these things down. But how do you use it? ”

For walk-behind tractors, black bears are still completely unfamiliar.

After all, this kind of machine was beyond the scope of his Indian cognition.

So, it's not unusual for him not to use it at all.

"We'll just escort you, but if you want to come to the Governor's side, he will naturally have his arrangement. Someone will come tomorrow and teach your men how to use the tractor. ”

The guard responded politely.

The black bear nodded: "Oh, I see, then thank you." “

"Now that we've done our job, then I won't bother you."

The guards who escorted the walk-behind tractors had already completed the task assigned by Zhang Tie, so they didn't plan to stay here for long.

The black bear has no intention of retaining it.

Soon, after the handover. The guards left the farm where the black bear was.

When the guards left, the black bear circled around the ten walk-behind tractors several times.

Tut-tut!

With just a few iron things, can you reclaim the land?

Why do I think it's so unreliable?

Although there were answers from the guards, the black bear still found it a little incredulous.

Forget it, we'll be able to find out tomorrow.

However, his son-in-law always has some unexpected things to come out, so this walk-behind tractor should be a good thing.

The black bear dispersed the onlookers and returned to his quarters.

As soon as she entered, Emma's mother, Black Bear's wife, walked in.

"What's the matter?"

The black bear waved his hand: "Our son-in-law has sent some things again." It is said that it can be used to reclaim land. And it's much easier to use than manpower reclamation. “——

Dividing Line –

Sudden Sudden Rush! Dodo!

At noon the next day, in an uncultivated wasteland, the black bear didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this moment.

Although he had already heard the explanation last night that this thing called a walk-behind tractor was used to clear the land.

But he could never have imagined that this kind of walk-behind tractor was so much stronger than manpower.

The small loading bucket behind the walk-behind tractor has been unloaded.

At this moment, a somewhat rough iron plough has been loaded.

Because of the iron plough. Coupled with the relationship of walk-behind tractors, it is now possible to reclaim 25 plots of land at the same time.

Compared to manpower, it is also very effective.

The black bear's eyes widened and he looked at the tractor plowing in shock.

Mine. I just didn't expect it to work so well!

Zhang Tie also came to the black bear's farm today, and specially brought an instructor who taught the farm to use a walk-behind tractor.

"Lord Black Bear, don't underestimate this thing. With this Iron Guy, your farm reclamation will be fifty times more efficient. “

Zhang Tie said to the black bear with a grin.

What is the concept of fifty times. Black bears are not very clear.

However, there is one thing that can be confirmed by the black bear, that is, according to Zhang Tie, in short, it is very effective.

It's just unexpected. Now the empire already has such a good thing.

If this had been before, I wouldn't have dared to think of it.

The black bear looked at Zhang Tie and responded.

Nonsense, if according to normal historical development, let alone walk-behind tractors. You Indians have no future at all, and even the Americas will be ceded to the Europeans, and you will become a minority.

It is because of our relationship that your future is guaranteed.

Zhang Tie kept complaining in his heart.

However, on Zhang Tie's face, you can't see anything.

"It's nothing, as the empire grows stronger and grows. There will be more good things in the future, and people's lives will be greatly improved at that time. “

As he spoke, the walk-behind tractor had already reclaimed three acres of land.

And the time took less than fifteen minutes.

This efficiency shocked the black bear again.

You must know that although there are many black slaves on this farm, if it is cultivated by manpower. Three acres of land, how can it take dozens of people to work for half an hour.

Not to mention the manpower consumption, there is also a lot of time.

But now all of this has been easily changed.

It can be said that with these ten walk-behind tractors, it is not to mention that the reclamation of land has become simpler. It will also free up more than 200 laborers so that they can do other things.

Although this farm is not the black bear himself, but he manages it for his daughter and son-in-law.

But after all, it's a family.

Anything that can benefit the family, black bears are of course welcome.

"It's great, as the farm expands, and the pastoral area expands. I've been worried about running out of people lately, but now it's much more convenient with this walk-behind tractor. “

The black bear laughed happily.

"Why, aren't there a lot of slave traders coming to Manhattan to do business now? How can there be a shortage of manpower? “

After listening to the black bear's words, Zhang Tie showed a somewhat puzzled look.

Looking at Zhang Tie's puzzled look, the black bear knew that Zhang Tie might not know much about this matter.

He patiently explained to him.

"Someone. Bring two chairs and prepare a drink at the same time. “

Soon, the black slave servants who served the black bear lord moved comfortable chairs and tea tables. And the black maids were very skillful in preparing their drinks, and then stood aside respectfully.

"There are a lot of slave traders, but you know, there are more and more farms around Manhattan. Therefore, everyone is very hungry for slaves, and I can't buy too many slaves every time, after all, I have to think about other people. “

The black bear said as he made a 'please' gesture to Zhang Tie.

Hold up the cup. Zhang Tie took a sip of black tea.

"According to the Black Bear, that means there is a big gap for black slaves now?"

The black bear nodded seriously and seriously: "Yes, we have a great need for slaves. The slave traders couldn't meet our needs at all, and every farm was short of labor. “

The black bear looked distressed.

The corners of Zhang Tie's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: Grandma, I didn't expect that the Song Empire established by His Highness would encounter such a thing. Could it be that the social structure of the Song Empire in the future will develop towards a slave society?

No, it shouldn't be like that.

If that's how it develops. Isn't that a step backwards?

However, what the black bear said is also that the lack of labor is not a problem and always needs to be solved.

And, judging by the current situation in the Empire. It's not realistic to say without slaves.

At least, in the course of the development of the empire, those who were trafficked in slaves were still needed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie groaned. Then he said to the black bear, "I'll try to think of a way, I'll meet the slave merchants and talk to them." Let's see if they can expand the scale and number of slave trafficking. But it's better not to get too much hope up in this matter. ”

Zhang Tie could not guarantee this.

After all, the merchants who came to the Americas to trade slaves were basically Portuguese and French merchants. Others came from the Arab world, and these merchant countries were far less powerful than the Song Empire.

Who let the master of the Song Empire have a magical cheat.

So given the state know-how behind these merchants, the slave ships they used to trade could not trade too many slaves to the Americas at one time.

At the same time, there is also the wear and tear of the voyage, as well as some accidents.

This is also for the fact that it has been more than three years for almost four years, and the number of slaves in the Song Empire is only two million.

Of course, the black bear also understands this truth, he has lived in Manhattan for more than three years, and he is no longer the original Indian turtle.

In addition, Black Bear also went to 'New Oriental' and 'Lanxiang Technical School' to study for a period of time, so he also understood some simple truths.

"I'm just whining, of course I understand. If there is no way to change the current situation, there is nothing, anyway, just buy slowly. ”

The young man Mohican, who operated the tractor, jumped off the tractor and trotted all the way to the front of the black bear and Zhang Tie.

"How's that, is there anything difficult to operate?"

Black Bear asked.

The young Moxican young man shook his head: "I have already learned to operate, and this knowledge was taught at the Lanxiang Technical School at the beginning." ”

"Well, you'll be in charge of operating the tractor from now on. 50% increase in salary. ”

With a wave of his hand, the black bear set the young man's job and salary.

Zhang Tie added on the side: "If there is any problem with the tractor in the future, if you can't figure it out yourself, go to the Agricultural Department of the umbrella company for help." They will send someone to deal with the failure of the tractor, as well as some problems. ”

The young Mohican boy nodded excitedly.

After waving off the young Mohican boy, Zhang Tie and the black bear chatted again.

"Recently, I wanted to expand the Manhattan Fishing Company, but I wonder if Lord Ludao Black Bear would be interested in letting the young people of the Mohican Nationality work at the fishing company?" (To be continued......)
