As night fell, the entire Manhattan Pier was still in full swing, with the crowd surging and shouting endlessly.

Hundreds of European labourers dressed in green cotton coats are unloading cargo from a merchant ship.

According to the time in Manhattan, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

But the people here don't get tired at all.

On the contrary, they are full of energy, as if the experience is inexhaustible.

In fact, this reason is also very simple, overtime unloading at night is high.

Since there is money to be made, those laborers don't care whether it's day or night.

These laborers who are now working in Manhattan have basically joined the Manhattan Song Empire and become the subjects of the empire.

And after making money, many people entrusted a merchant ship to bring their families to Manhattan.

At the same time, through the umbrella company, he took out a loan to buy land and building materials, and built his own house on the land planned outside of Manhattan, and settled here.

Now that they have settled down and brought in their families, these European laborers must be working hard to earn money to support their families.

So, even if there is work in the middle of the night, they will do it.

After all, if you have a job, you can make money, so that your family's life will be better.

According to the official propaganda of the Song Empire, this is the road to happiness.

And these European laborers who have lived in Manhattan for a while also know that they want to live well here in Manhattan. Then money is indispensable.

Here, as long as you have money, then you can live a more comfortable life than the aristocratic lords.

There is plenty of food in Manhattan, and even in the winter, it's not a matter of worrying about lack of food.

White flowers of rice and all kinds of meat, you can eat it with an open belly.

This is much more comfortable than the rìzi on the European continent, which is still in a state of semi-starvation.

Because there is not enough food there at all, let alone a full stomach.

Oatmeal paste is the most you can do to starve, and it's still two or one meal a day.

And here in Manhattan, it's all dry food for three meals.

At the same time, taxes in Manhattan are not so complicated, and compared to the many taxes in Europe, it is simply paradise.

Besides. There is no need to worry about not being able to find a job here in Manhattan, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, then the little rì will definitely be steamed.

It was precisely because of this relationship that the settled Europeans began to integrate into Manhattan and became very enthusiastic about their work.

Occasionally, you let them rest, and they don't appreciate it.

Because if you let them rest, it means that they will have less income.

That's not going to work.

How can you let your income decrease, absolutely not.

Europeans living in Manhattan today have long thought of themselves as the Song Empire people of Manhattan.

And under the propaganda of those personnel of the Wang Shan intelligence department. These white people living in Manhattan also began to have a contemptuous view of their fellow Europeans.

But think about it. They still eat and drink well and work here, and they don't make as much money as their fellow Europeans.

Therefore, it is also normal to look down on fellow Europeans.

This is just like the truth of a certain Chinese person who went abroad in later generations and looked back to despise his compatriots.

In Manhattan today, you can often see those Europeans chatting with some compatriots on merchant ships, although most of them are in their native language, but from time to time they will throw out two sentences of Chinese to prove their identity.

Especially after those laborers speak a few Chinese languages, their faces will be filled with that kind of arrogance from the bones.

It's as if they have become superior people, already people with status.

This made Zhang Tie, who had been observing for a long time, also amazed. I'm glad I've come to this era.

But it's not surprising to think about it, after all, Europeans in this era have a very vague concept of the state, and they don't have a clear concept.

Therefore, of course, they have a high degree of recognition for Manhattan, a country that can bring them a good life and earn money to support their families.

At the same time, the aristocratic lords here in Manhattan will not be as perverted as the European aristocracy, these aristocratic lords in Manhattan are very kind and do things for the people.

For example. The benefits of urban sanitation and infrastructure come from those of us who live in Manhattan.

Therefore, these Europeans who joined the Song Empire had a high degree of recognition for Zhao Hongyu. And gradually saw himself as a part of the Song Empire. It's completely detached from the past.

Of course, the propaganda and brainwashing of the intelligence services is also an indispensable part.

At the same time, the schools in Manhattan City, the teachers of those genetic people, the education of the children of Indian and European immigrants, have completely brainwashed those children.

Many Europeans who immigrated to the Song Empire and became citizens of the Song Empire wished that they were also black-haired and black-eyed.

Unfortunately, this is always a fantasy.

However, Zhao Hongyu and the others gave these people a hope, that is, the Eight Banners of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Shan and the others made it clear that a slave is a slave without a human body, and the power of life and death is all in the hands of the master.

However, those who voluntarily become slaves also have great rights and many benefits.

After all, the people who can have minions are some big nobles.

And here in Manhattan, there are only a few big nobles.

That is to say, becoming a slave of those nobles is also a shortcut to heaven.

Although there is no human body, he has been seized by people to have the power of life and death.

But as the saying goes, wealth is dangerous.

In this era, there were people who were willing to take risks for wealth and power.

Therefore, Zhang Tie and their coated minions are planning. As soon as it was launched, it attracted a lot of people.

Although the number of such people is not very large, the hundreds of Europeans who are willing to sell themselves are not a small number.

Especially these people, there are also some veterans of the war and some special talents.

Of course, when accepting these people as slaves, Zhang Tie, Wang Shan and Song Hu also said it clearly and clearly. That is, as long as they serve their masters well, the masters will not easily kill them.

After all, the masters don't want to lose money.

You must know that every slave who sells himself to take refuge, Wang Shan and they have to pay a lot of money.

Meantime. These people who have sold themselves, their future wives, wives and children, will also become the slaves of their masters, and their lives will never end.

For those who are ambitious, though, this is nothing at all.

Because their masters promised to seek benefits for them, even noble titles.

This is the main reason that attracts those who are committed to being coated minions.

That is to say, although they became the servants of the nobility, life and death were not in their own hands. But in addition to this, they can also obtain titles such as nobility. and qualifications for commanding the corps.

On the contrary, because they have a good master and a good backer, they are much higher than others.

There is gain, there is loss. It's not that they don't understand this truth.

And Wang Shan and they have already thought about it, and when the time comes, they will find His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu to cultivate some island country sister paper for these European coaters. At that time, their offspring will be mixed-race, and these mixed-race children will definitely pull the wind away, isn't it.

I have to say, Wang Shan, they are too bad.

And by Zhang Tie's side, there is such a coated minion.

And Zhang Tie really begged Zhao Hongyu to cultivate an island woman to be his wife.

Zhang Tie's clothed servant is about forty years old, and his hometown is a small mountain village in the Rì Erman region.

He was originally a mercenary. Also participated in the Thirty Years' War.

It's a pity that the nobleman who originally hired him has no money, so the mercenary group is disbanded and he has no income.

Coupled with the fact that he had no relatives at home, he followed the ship to the New World.

He arrived in British Virginia and got a job as a bartender in Virginia.

It's a pity that although Virginia is full of wealth, people like him don't have any benefits at all.

Until Zhao Hongyu and Virginia clashed. This guy just saw hope.

And after the war, he became one of the first people to come to Manhattan to make a living.

Originally, he planned to join the Manhattan Army, but unfortunately because he was a foreigner, this wish was not fulfilled.

This disappointed him.

Twelve Da Longyang's salary a month. The real silver coin into sè is enough.

However, he did not leave Manhattan and stayed to continue looking for opportunities.

After a period of observation, he found that Manhattan was full of opportunities, but it was up to him to have the courage to do so.

It just so happened that the system of clothed minions appeared, which allowed him to see the light.

And people as smart as him immediately saw the advantages and benefits of such a system.

After some consideration, he felt that there were more benefits, so he threw himself into the action of coating.

His luck was good, and he was picked by one of the three nobles of the Huaxia Department at once, which made him very excited and happy.

At the same time, the master he took refuge in also made it clear, let him familiarize himself with how to be a slave first. When he was satisfied, his master would ask him for a small knighthood, and at the same time give him a small army of commanders.

After all, it's not good to be too tall, so he needs a little bit of it.

As long as there is a chance to fight in the future and achieve good results, then the person who is the master will naturally reward and promote.

Hearing what his master said, the clothed servant under Zhang Tie's command suddenly understood.

Now this guy is fully armed and dressed in European-style armor guarding Zhang Tie's side, accompanying his master to inspect the port in Manhattan at night.

The eyes of the busy laborers on the dock showed envy when they saw him, which made him very proud.

Hmph, it won't be long before I'm an aristocrat, and I'm the second European aristocrat besides Chelsea. As long as I work hard, I can even surpass Chelsea in the future, because I have a good master.
