This state is considered a tourist destination in the west, with the famous Coast Highway No. 1 and the Willamette Valley Falls. However, Zhou Li'an didn't have time to go there before, and he has no time now.
After getting up, he ran to Kasuikou in the city to buy things.
Lamps and batteries, lots of pencils, books.
A Chinese shopping guide named "Fern Yang" enthusiastically recommended a solar energy facility to him, but he needed to order the goods; Zhou Li'an silently made a note of it and could consider it in the future.
Thinking of Yuki-onna's greedy appearance last night, I bought a lot of snacks. Although... the taste of American snacks is hard to describe, but chocolates and candies are pretty normal.
Anyway, with [Pocket Space], as long as you can put down everything, you can stuff it in.
Of course, you have to pay.
There are too many surveillances, and Zhou Li'an doesn't want to get into trouble. Although he is a little eager in his heart, he will definitely find an opportunity to do a big business in the future.
After leaving the supermarket, he went to the bookstore again, looking for some introductory Chinese pinyin books, but found that they were all Chinese-English versions, so forget it.
He used his mobile phone to place an order on a domestic online shopping platform, and paid extra to choose the fastest express delivery package. It would be delivered in a little over a week, otherwise he would have to wait at least half a month.
Before leaving the city, Zhou Li'an received another call from Nick, saying that there were house transaction procedures that required him to come.
It happened to happen, so he ran over to get it done. Nick gave a friendly reminder, don't forget that the contract will take effect directly in one month.
Zhou Li'an disagrees. Now his monthly income is nearly 2 million U.S. dollars, and it's just a house. It's no problem at all.
It's noon when I get home.
Fill your stomach and continue the great cause of nation building.
…
Coming from this world.
Zhou Li'an can clearly feel that there is a significant temperature difference between the two worlds. North America in the early 15th century may have been several degrees cooler than today.
He still appeared in the stone house last night.
Boom, boom, boom.
When I lowered my head, I realized that several children had fallen to their knees.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to cross or look at them in the slightest.
Even the snow girl was extremely serious, leading the children in praise: "Greetings to my Lord, and praising the great Lord of Balance."
Zhou Li'an nodded slightly, asked them to get up, and then asked Xue Nu: "How is it? Do you still remember what you learned yesterday?"
Snow Girl said: "I remember, before going to bed last night, Snow Girl had been chanting silently, and she fell asleep while thinking silently. In her dream, Snow Girl really saw the figure of my Lord. Thank you, Master."
【——】
"Shut up!"
[Holy shit, did you predict my prediction? 】
Zhou Li'an was too lazy to pay attention to him. The more he talked nonsense, the more energetic he became.
When the assessment started, Xue Nu was stumbling while reading.
However, after Zhou Li'an's reminder, I read it in full.
Not to mention the other children, the snow girl is not even interested in asking for money. They are more curious about white paper and pencils.
Zhou Li'an felt a little empty, and several "processed" notebooks and pencils appeared out of thin air, with their covers and logos torn off.
After they knelt down and praised again, Zhou Li'an asked Xue Nu to continue to recite silently, and took the children to copy, and he would come over to teach them personally later.
Hearing that Zhou Li'an wanted to visit the tribe, Xue Nu immediately said seriously: "Niu Shi, I order you to follow my Lord and serve His right and left."
Niu Shi was surprised and happy, and quickly accepted the order.
Zhou Li'an was not surprised by the name "Cow Shit". Aboriginal names are very random. Whatever you see or think of, you can name your child.
For example, Zhou Li'an asked Snow Girl the origin of her name and she was born on a snow mountain.
And for this bullshit boy...
Zhou Li'an didn't have much appetite, so he went to listen to stories about him.
Bull shit dare not take the initiative to speak.
What Zhou Li'an asked, he said.
When walking in the tribe and seeing my Lord, they all kneel down and worship me devoutly.
Another running child saw him coming and fell down in fright. His knees were obviously bruised and bleeding, but he clenched his teeth and remained silent.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Li'an smiled and helped the child up: "You are very brave. I hope you can become a brave warrior when you grow up!"
Whoosh.
He pointed out of thin air, and a candy appeared on the ground.
After picking it up, he peeled off the wrapping paper, threw the wrapping paper into the [Pocket Space], and then stuffed the candy into the child's mouth.
[Hey, hey, hey, you are going too far by treating the system as a garbage dump!]
Zhou Li'an ignored him and looked at the child with a smile.
The child's face was stunned at first, and then showed a happy smile: "Sweet, it's sweet, sweeter than pumpkin."
The people on the side witnessed this scene and burst into tears of gratitude.
Another parent with a child came over and reminded him: "You must praise my Lord!"
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
The child is very smart and remembers the praises during the carnival yesterday.
Zhou Li'an just walked and stopped like this, continuing to obtain effective information from the tribe; not long after, the chief elder of the tribe arrived. After kneeling down devoutly, he said: "My lord, the merchant team has set off this morning..."
"Because the noble shaman was tired last night and I didn't dare to disturb him. Therefore, I don't know when my Lord will come, and I didn't have time to report."
"No problem, how many people are there?" Zhou Li'an continued walking and asked him.
The Great Elder followed closely behind and said softly: "Except for the ten hunting teams that continue to hunt furs for my lord, the first warrior regiment and the second guard regiment have all set off."
"Where's the destination?"
"It's the Earth Snake Tribe and a small tribe; the Earth Snake people are adjacent to Shanhua and Chishui Tribes. They are of equal strength. They once had glory, but their old patriarch offended the chief tribe and was punished for it. Every time he donated something
It’s a lot and the burden is huge.”
"Today, the Earth Snake tribe has less than 300 people, and the other small tribe has less than 200 people, and it has not yet been named by the chief tribe."
Zhou Li'an nodded slightly, as he thought, this kind of tribe would definitely not dare to plunder Tushi's goods.
Although it is nominally a gift from God, it is actually a barter trade exchange.
As long as he gets the furs and returns safely, Zhou Li'an will be satisfied.
"How many days does it take to get back and forth?"
"Tell my lord and you will be back in seven days."
Traveling entirely by foot, it seems that the distance between the two parts is less than 100 kilometers from the Tushi Part.
"Where's the chief tribe?"
"It takes ten days to walk south to reach it."
Zhou Li'an became more and more interested as we chatted, and asked again: "Do you have a map?"
"Yes, yes, it's in my residence." The great elder wanted to express his excitement and ran to get it.
Zhou Li'an knew that he must also live in the stone houses on both sides of the cliff, so he said he would go with him.
The three of them arrived at the great elder's residence. He spread out a rolled-up sheepskin and opened the so-called map.
Simple drawings of mountains, rivers and lakes, as well as totem logos representing various tribes.
At least it's not abstract, but there's no need to think about scales and contour maps. It's a surprise that the tribe can draw a map.
They can't even identify the specific direction. Contacts between tribes still need to be led by people who are familiar with the roads.
Therefore, this map can only be used as a reference.
"Where is the Earth Snake Tribe?"
"In the north."
"Where is Chishui, the mountain flower that was wiped out before?"
"Here, and here..."
Zhou Li'an asked for directions one by one, and also asked about the time required for the trip.
Then, the system was opened.
After the system version 1.0 was updated, the map function has been opened, but the unexplored areas do not have any marking information, only the direction of the mountains.
The Tushi Valley where it is now has detailed instructions, with the "mountain" as its totem, and the Tushi Tribe, which once respected the Mother of the Earth, belongs to the "Modoc Tribe".
The population information actually also states: 577 people.
Zhou Li'an calculated according to the directions and arrival and departure times given by the great elder. It took a long time to use the marking function to mark 39 locations on the system coordinate map.
This also means that there are 39 large and small tribes under the leadership of the Modoc chief, which controls a small half of the southern part of Oregon and most of the northern part of California.
The total population is approximately more than 10,000, but the Great Elder does not know the specific situation and can only give a rough guess.
There is no strong enemy around who dares to compete with it.
This number is similar to Zhou Li'an's guess.
At the beginning of the 15th century, the number of indigenous people in North America was more than 1.5 million-2 million, and at the end of the 15th century, it reached about 3.5 million.
Because there are no specific documents to be verified, relevant scholars can only make reverse inferences based on the strength and weakness of each tribe, and then use the records of exchanges left by large ethnic groups such as the Sioux, Apaches, Cherokees, and Mohicans.
For side reference.
However, what can be confirmed is that the number of tribes that have left historical records exceeds a thousand. Large tribes have a population of over 10,000, and small and medium-sized tribes have a population of several thousand. Most of them live in the central Great Plains, the Great Lakes region and the Mississippi Plain.
The area where the Modocs are located is the western mountainous area that even most indigenous groups are unwilling to set foot on. It is called the Plateau Indian Cultural Area by later generations.
Before the westward movement in the 19th century, the Modocs did not even have much contact with the outside world. When the colonists arrived, they were quickly defeated, leaving only a small number of people who survived and later moved to reservations.
In the middle of the ground.
Therefore, based on a total population of 1.5 million to 2 million, the Modoc people in the western mountainous area can account for 1% of the total population, which is a relatively optimistic figure.
After understanding the surrounding situation, Zhou Li'an planned to return to his residence and continue teaching Chinese Pinyin to several children.
When he left, the great elder knelt down to see him off, and his face showed the same flushing and enthusiasm as last night.
[I thought you understood the map and planned to attack the city. When this great elder saw that you were looking at the maps of each tribe, his eyes were glowing green. He was just waiting for your order to lead a massacre! 】
Zhou Li'an chuckled lightly: "Oh, you know, I always like to convince people with reason, and I will never bully the weak."
[Ah, yes, yes! We send out caravans to trade, and the white salt attracts people to commit crimes!]
【What do you mean by convincing people with reason? 】
[You call this fishing law enforcement! Let the chief of the tribe come to your door and kill him!!]
