【39】Montana Racecourse(1/2)

July.

It's still cool in Tushi Valley.

The snow girl wears an exquisite cloth dress, which is similar to a modern suspender skirt, revealing her fragrant shoulders. But it has more ethnic-style decorations, with many colorful gems hanging from cowhide, and a delicate headband on her head, which makes her hair grow on both sides.

The braid falls down on the chest.

Regardless of her yellow teeth, after improving her personal hygiene, she can indeed be regarded as an exotic little beauty.

Modern research on aborigines mostly comes from the diaries of colonists.

A surveyor employed by the East India Company once wrote: 'Indian women are comparable to any beautiful thing in the universe. They have tawny skin, bright and passionate eyes, and their charming smiles, so they have a face that is unparalleled in the world.

; Their cheeks are round and their bodies are as pure as nature.'

Judging from diaries such as this, there is really no need for a group of invaders to say some compliments in their diaries that the Indians cannot see.

Of course, no serious person keeps a diary.

Therefore, what the surveyor described in his diary was more about communicating with Indian women in various postures and gaining insights.

"Master, why do you boil the water and drink it?"

After opening the door to knowledge, the current Snow Girl is like a second-grade primary school student, becoming a walking "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

Zhou Li'an already has a familiar answer routine: "I gave fire with thunder. The use of fire not only brings light, it can dispel pollution, refine gold and iron, and master the law of fire. It is also a way to enter the realm of technology."

Ways of practice.”

All answers are ambiguous and leave room for imagination.

There is no need to explain anything so clearly at this stage, because no matter how much you talk, the snow girl won't understand.

It's better to cast a layer of mystery over something.

A little bit of bad taste caused Zhou Li'an to think about it... The future university teacher stood on the podium and no longer introduced him as a professor of a certain department.

Instead, he showed an evil smile: "I am a strong person of the eighth level of the life system in the third realm of the God of Science!"

"The course we are going to teach today is 'Cytoplasmic Matrix and Endomembrane System'."

The students in the audience exclaimed: "He turned out to be an eighth-level powerhouse in the third realm, so terrifying!"

now.

Zhou Li'an has established various institutional rules for the tribe, such as public toilets dug and built outside the valley, and drinking water for all tribesmen must be boiled before consumption.

For tribal people, the process is cumbersome and incomprehensible.

But the supreme meaning of divine authority is reflected here.

No one fails to obey the oracle and regard it as an honor.

It's like a married man who is restricted by his wife. He can't drink alcohol during the week and smoke less. When he goes out and sits with his friends, it may seem like he's complaining about his wife being too strict, but what he actually wants to express is...

Hey, single guy, do you have a wife?

The subtext of being a tribal person is: Hey, are you covered by a god?

The emergence of rules is the first step in the emergence of law.

Of course, Zhou Li'an does not intend to control them too strictly now, but only restricts them from aspects of life. The main purpose is to eliminate diseases and improve personal physical fitness.

Moreover, subtle changes will not be suddenly difficult for tribal people to accept when legislation is passed in the future.

Late at night, after completing his teaching mission, Zhou Li'an returned to the world.

It is already July 6th.

There were two missed calls on the phone, one was from Wang Defa.

Zhou Li'an couldn't help laughing: "The old guy can't help it anymore."

It was previously agreed to trade the last batch of 2,000 furs at the end of the month, but because the "expedition team" had not returned yet, the number was not enough, and Zhou Li'an was too lazy to make an extra trip.

At the same time, this is also a psychological game with Comrade Lao Wang.

Lao Wang didn't understand the last follow-up cooperation invitation sent to him, but it has been long enough for him to grasp the hints he left and make reasonable assumptions.

It’s not that bison leather is no longer available, it’s just that it’s not suitable for the open and honest circulation market.

The price reduction is to follow market rules. In short, if you set up a joint-stock factory, everyone will still have a steady stream of US dollars entering your account.

Lao Wang must have figured it out a long time ago, but he hasn't contacted me for a long time. Most likely, he doesn't want to appear too eager.

However, when the time came in July, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhou Li'an is very important to him.

And to Zhou Li'an, he was not the only one.

At this point, there is no need to continue fishing, as the fish will be unhooked if it takes too long to hold the hook.

Zhou Li'an called back Wang Defa's phone number. The call was picked up almost instantly, and a familiar voice came: "Ah, Mr. Zhou, why haven't I heard from you in recent times?"

"I'm very busy. In addition, the transaction of the 2,000 furs will be postponed until after July 20. If you are in a hurry, I can deliver 1,000 furs to you now."

Wang Defa laughed and said: "No rush, no rush, I just want to make an appointment with Zhou Sheng to talk about future cooperation..."

"This matter is not urgent. I made it clear last time. If you are willing, you can raise money to set up a factory. If you are not willing, you can tell me during the next transaction and I will find someone else to cooperate."

"I'm willing, I'm willing, how can I not be willing? Let's talk next time we meet?"

"good."

Hang up the phone.

Zhou Li'an checked another missed call, which was from a lawyer at a law firm and left a text message.

The case was over, and Magosine did not appear in court. The court ruled that the other party's finances were frozen and he could recover losses of about US$30,000.

It is an unexpected blessing that a drug addict has assets in his name that can be liquidated.

Anyway, the principal of 100,000 has been recovered, and the 30,000 recovered is just interest, which is a blood profit.

Finish worldly affairs.

I took a look at the background information on the recruitment platform and found that there were still no suitable candidates.

He was not in a hurry and continued to log in to the webpage and found the main businesses of several large horse farms.

The American horse trading market is very prosperous. There are more than three million registered horses alone. There are also a large number of ranchers who do not register their horses in order to avoid taxes.

Ordinary meat horses are cheap, and old horses that are infertile can even be purchased for just a few hundred dollars.

The average price of young horses is about 1,000 dollars, and they must be trained accordingly.

Zhou Li'an did not plan to hold any horse racing events in the 15th century. As long as the horses brought improvements in productivity and transportation capabilities to the tribe, it would be enough.

Let’s talk about cost-effectiveness.

The price of a horse's "time travel" is $11,000.

If you use off-road motorcycles or bicycles, the price is more than half the price. The problem is that the terrain in the western region is not suitable for the use of modern transportation.

The motorcycles used in the Dakar Rally are all professional-level. Riding in the flat desert will cause extremely high accident rates.

A group of aborigines riding motorcycles to jump over mountainous terrain? It’s unrealistic!

bike……

Without a basic road transportation network, riding a bicycle is not as fast as walking on two legs.

There is no need to build roads. The western part of the country is sparsely populated and does not have any development value at this stage.

Even if you build a road to California, it will be abandoned after being used once.

Nowadays the manpower of the tribe is used for war.

Even in the past, small and medium-sized excavators were not very practical for transporting modern engineering equipment. The cost of using the [System Portable Space] alone was as high as 3 million US dollars, not counting the price of the 30-ton self-weight excavator.

An excavator brings 10,000 Modoc people to develop the western region and revitalize the northwest?

The United States did not dare to do this when it first started.

The poor mountains and rivers of the west, even after the Indians were completely defeated, still retained the last bit of humanity and did not drive them into the deep mountains and forests of the west. Instead, they drew a circle in the southern part of the central plains and established the Oklahoma Reservation.

Zhou Li'an's plan was well thought out.

When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

Making money is the foundation of a country.

The Modoc army of ten thousand people quickly unified North America, and millions of people would become their workers.

In this way, the state machine can officially start operating.

After writing down the phone numbers of several racecourses, Zhou Li'an called them one by one to ask for prices.

On the phone, he did not mention the number of horses needed, and everything had to be decided after on-site inspections.

And it is impossible for him to release 500 horses to the tribe at once.

The tribesmen don't know how to ride horses yet, and learning equestrian skills requires a process. In the early stage, you can throw away 10 horses for a few people to learn them, and then slowly add more.
To be continued...
