Wine was historically the natural enemy of Indians. European immigrants used this kind of thing to harm countless Indian tribes. Now Hong Tao is using it as a good thing. Carl's life is only worth a stab of rum, plus a small can of sugar and two machetes.

"Did you see it? You are not as valuable as this forest! Since you are causing trouble, then you won't have to do anything. This transaction is done by you. We will bring back our bodies. At least we can get a grave for them. They are also raised by their parents." It would not solve the problem by just exchanging Carl back. These Indians said that the land where the camp was built is also owned by their clan. If you want to do it, you have to have two more barrels of wine and two machetes!

"I know their camp, why don't we kill them!" He is worthy of being a kind of colonizer, and his blood is traitorous in his bones. Carl doesn't think that he is lenient to him and wants to repay his grudges.

"Rat, two rats, remember this scene, don't be kind-hearted in the future, especially with people with red heads! Seeing that your Uncle Carl was not? When someone let him go, he wanted to destroy the entire family. Are you immoral? Speaking of which, your life was saved by Indians. If someone didn't find you bark, you would have died long ago. Don't talk nonsense, take things to exchange." This time, Hong Tao suddenly pretended to be a good person, and he was chasing Indians on Mexican land two months ago. His face was wiping and the blood on his hands had not dried up, he became the protector of the Indians again.

"I really won't go? You can't use me as bait!" Carl really didn't believe that Hong Tao was kind-hearted.

"You only have such a few people now. They come in hundreds and thousands, and they never stop until they die day and night. Can you bear it? It doesn't matter if you want to take revenge. Wait until you gain a foothold here and then transport musketeers and horses from Sun City. Then you will have the final say. But I don't recommend that you get too irritated with the locals. If you can communicate like this, you should find a way to make them your people better. In such a big place, do you plan to transport all the people from Europe?"

Hong Tao knew the Indians in North America better than Carl. They were not quite the same as the Indians in Mexico. There were no large ethnic groups like the Mayans and Aztecs. They only had small tribes and loose tribal alliances, culture, technology, and social structures more primitive. In this case, it was impossible to conquer a certain city by force and unify the Indians in a certain area. So they could only use the conflicts between Indian tribes and ethnic groups, and then slowly expand their territory. This was also the method adopted by European colonists back then, and the facts proved to be very useful.

These Indians are very hospitable. They probably have never seen humans of other races, and they don’t know that humans can be so bad, so they are not prepared for it. When Carl carried the barrel ashore, he only had to high-fives with their chiefs. Even if the transaction was completed, there was no contract or worry. This was their way for generations, so why do you have to doubt it?

That night, Carl stayed in the Indian village again. Hong Tao was beaten to death and couldn't go ashore. He stood on the deck and looked at the figures dancing around the bonfire in the village on the shore, but was thinking about another thing in his mind.

From the mouths of the missionaries, Hong Tao learned the name of this Indian tribe. They called themselves the Povatans, lived in the James River, the Elizabeth River, and the York River basins for generations. They lived by fishing, hunting and domesticating deer. They were the people of the Great River, and these rivers were their gods.

Hong Tao didn't care whether they were farming or not, whether their god was the sun or the sea, but he was a little confused about the name of this tribe.

There was indeed a Povatan tribe in the land of Virginia in history, and it was very, very famous. Because it was in this group that a chieftain named Pocahontas appeared. She converted to Christianity and married a white man from Jamestown. Later, she went to England to meet the then emperor James I, and soon died of illness in London. Her father, a chief of the Povatan tribe, was named King of Virginia by the Emperor.

The matter is not over yet. In that era, the nobles were still very valuable, especially the title of king, which had reached the peak of the nobles. No matter what race you were originally from, they were officially enthroned by the Emperor, they were the nobles. So the chief of the Indian tribe, Povatan, became a real top British aristocrat, and his daughter Pocahontas was a veritable princess, and she and her British husband's children carried noble royal blood.

Not only the British people admit this, but even the Americans also admit it. In American history, the most noble family with the noblest blood flowed in their bodies. This is like a nobleman in the Yuan Dynasty, but he is as funny as a Song and Meng mixed-race child. But no one has any objections, and it is really difficult to understand the American thinking pattern.

Anyway, this family of noble blood has been passed down. At first, they operated tobacco in Virginia, and the transactions were very large and very rich. Later, they married many American politicians, and the family became more and more powerful. However, this family is usually very low-key and does not show up in the media. Many people are not very clear about their origin, especially those outside the United States.

The Randolph family is the most noble family of American descent. Don’t say that Americans do not recognize nobles, they are also jealous of this honor. Unfortunately, few people with noble bloodlines are not as good as those of Britain. They can only endure it and say something sour.

The chairman of the 6th Congress was Peyton Randolph; Jefferson's mother was Jen Randolph; General Robert Lee, the commander of the Southern Army, was Jefferson's cousin; the first attorney general of the United States was Edmund Jennings Randolph; the first eight Virginia governors, except for the first and fifth, were all from the Randolph family.

In Virginia, the Randolph family is the best-deserved first family, and in federal politics, the Randolph family is not weak. Washington is really a junior of Payton, and among the four ministers of his administration, the Randolph family account for two.

However, the true descendant of the direct descendant of the Randolph family was named Thomas Randolph. Unfortunately, this heir with royal blood was not capable enough and had only been the governor of Virginia. No matter how high he was, he could not get up.

It can also be seen from this that the United States also has princelings, but they cannot cover up the sky with one hand. This is related to the founding system of the United States. This country was built by a group of people using equal consultation, and no one can force anyone. In other words, the reason why this country was able to be independent from Britain was because a group of capable people came out, and no one was much worse than anyone else.

What's even more fortunate is that this group of capable people did not act independently, fought against each other, or even became warlords. Instead, they adopted a model similar to business negotiation, combined everyone's interests, and finally found the most suitable solution. It has to be said that this group of capable people does have great wisdom. It would be a blessing for a country to catch up with one or two capable people. As a result, Americans caught up with a lot of them. It's really a blessing! If you want to have such collective wisdom, unless another group of capable people comes out, it's a pity that this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

In this environment, even the princelings can only take advantage of the family's resources and cannot completely lead. Moreover, as the system becomes more and more perfect, these advantages are gradually reduced to a level that is not particularly obvious. In fact, this is enough. Any society and country have nepotism, without exception, the difference is only the strength of the degree.

Just like crime, it is unrealistic to completely eliminate crime, but by reducing crime to a certain level through perfect laws, everyone can accept it. The ultimate goal of balance, checks and balances is not to eliminate any force. On the contrary, its function is to enable all forces to achieve a situation of common prosperity through checks and balances.
