It was still difficult for Zheng He to think about turning America into a part of the Ming Dynasty.

But it is no problem for him to briefly control America and concentrate the tribes here. The difficulty level is not that high, but the initial plan is to build this city first.

With the city here, they can create a variety of possibilities.

So far, except for the two polar regions and Australia, they have not set foot much. Their presence and footprints can often be seen on other lands.

"Lord Zheng He, can we really do it?"

Aricra hesitated, knowing that his tribe's ability was not high, and it was okay to build a tribe, but it was basically impossible for them to build a big city.

Zheng He smiled and said: "I don't just let you do it. When I come this time, I also brought many craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty and a lot of machinery. We craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty will lead the people of your tribe to work, and we are willing to pay wages." , as long as the leader can give us a piece of land."

"Really?"

Aricra became excited and felt that Ming Dynasty was too good!

Zheng He nodded affirmatively and said: "Of course it is true. We, the Ming Dynasty, also want to cooperate with you for a long time. The city will be regarded as the basis for our cooperation."

"Okay!"

Aricra agreed, but he hesitated and said: "This matter is very important. I want to discuss it with the people of our tribe tonight and give you an answer as soon as tomorrow morning. Do you think this is okay?"

"No problem at all!"

Zheng He did not force them to agree immediately. If this tribe is not good, they can find another tribe. The entire America is so big, and it does not have to be here.

Aricra felt Zheng He's enthusiasm again, and his mood couldn't help but feel better, and he became even more enthusiastic.

He immediately arranged for a banquet to be held in the tribe and entertained Zheng He well.

"Lord Zheng He, actually we and the Ming Dynasty may have the same ancestor."

Aricra said while eating a turkey leg at the banquet.

Zheng He didn't like eating turkey very much. The taste was far less tender than the chicken he had eaten in Guangzhou, but he ate some casually. After listening to Alicra's words, he asked curiously: "Why did the leader say that?"

Aricra looked to the north, recalled their legends, and said: "Many tribes here have a legend, that is, we came from the other side of the ocean, I don't know how many years ago, maybe a thousand years, or thousands of years ago Come forward!"

He organized his language and continued: "In the northernmost part of our place, when the weather is very cold, the sea surface will freeze. This is how our ancestors walked from your Ming continent to this continent and settled here. ."

Hearing this, Zheng He understood.

As the first navigator of the Ming Dynasty, a pioneer in the development of new sea routes in the world, the first person in navigation in the world, and extremely experienced in navigation, Zheng He understood what Aricra meant.

Did the people here come to America from Asia through the Bering Strait millions of years ago?

If the legend of Aricra is true, Zheng He thought it was a great discovery.

"This is our fate!"

Zheng He didn't raise any questions and acquiesced to the legend.

Aricra was overjoyed at the recognition.

Zheng He also brought several jars of their Ming Dynasty wine and drank together at the banquet.

The people in the tribe are also very enthusiastic.

Many people were drunk, but Aricra was not drunk.

Many old men in the tribe were not drunk yet. When the banquet was over, they would gather together to discuss whether they should help Zheng He build the city.

Zheng He left the tribe and had to return to the ship to rest.

This is safer.

Their big ship docked on the shore, and the searchlight illuminated the shore.

"Sir, can we build?"

A subordinate came over and asked.

Zheng He said: "We have to wait a little longer, but they will definitely agree. Our machinery and tools are ready, and if necessary, bricks and cement will be fired here."

"Yes!" the subordinate responded.

the next morning.

Zheng He got off the boat and went to the tribe again, and saw the leader Aricra walking towards him.

"Lord Zheng He."

Aricra smiled and said: "We discussed it last night and agreed that what you said makes sense. We still have the same ancestor and should help each other. We agree to build the city with you."

The most important thing is to build this city, which will be of great benefit to their tribe.

When I live in the city in the future, I will live in decent houses.

This is better than anything else.

As long as they think about it this way, they are still happy to cooperate with Zheng He.

"This is the best, but where are you going to give us a piece of land? The land I want is very big."

Zheng He said expectantly.

"You guys come with me."

Aricra took this matter very seriously.

Some elders of this tribe were more concerned and went to divide the land for Zheng He to build the city and finalize everything as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your support, chief."

Zheng He smiled and said: "Come here, go back and lead the team to cut down the trees and prepare to build the city."

In addition to the construction team, he also arranged for a garrison team to come down and temporarily station in the tribe. People from the Aricra tribe also provided a lot of help. The project progressed quite smoothly and the cooperation was very pleasant.

While constructing, Zheng He also started trading with local people.

In addition to this tribe, several nearby tribes could also come over to trade with Zheng He.

Zheng He's trade scope is not only here, but also arranges his large ships to carry goods to other places in the Americas. After all, the people here alone cannot eat so much goods.

The most important thing is to exchange tobacco with them. Although Ming Dynasty also planted it, the scale was not large and the output was not enough.

Adelaide has given us news that Western cigarettes are in short supply.

They even promoted cigarettes to Eastern Europe, Central Asia and other places, such as the Ottoman Empire, where they had a huge consumer group.

Zheng He had to admire him. Adelaide's ways were very wild, and he was definitely a qualified businessman and a profiteer. For money and interests, they would do anything.

However, on the third day after it was decided to build the city and cut down the trees.

Aricra came in a hurry and said urgently: "Lord Zheng He, it's not good!"

Zheng He asked: "What's wrong?"

"There are people out there, coming to attack us who are cutting down the trees."

Aricra said quickly.

Most of the people responsible for felling are tribal people.

Zheng He provided them with some more convenient tools.

When they cut down the trees, they become their own property, which can be used to build houses, make tools, or use them as firewood for fires. The locals must be very happy with this.

"Who else dares to attack our people?"

Zheng He felt confused and curious after hearing this. He said with great interest: "Let's go and have a look."

Zheng He felt that the person who dared to attack them was tired of living. (End of chapter)
