Half a year passed in a flash.

It is rainy season, and the heavy rain has not stopped, and the scorching sun has not been seen for several days.

On the street market of Xinya Mountain, rain washed the stone road and crackled, but it still could not hide the scene of the heat waves rolling in the blacksmith's workshop facing the street.

Because the iron ore has not been found yet, almost all the copper ware cast in the workshop is made.

As for the source of copper, after the Manka gold mine, the Song Dynasty had found copper mines at the foot of the Andes, and obtained permission from the Manka tribe to mine and smel.

Of course, it is still a 40% share. The difference is that this is no longer as simple as business.

Today's Manka tribe has firmly believed that they have the same roots and origins as the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, according to Zhao Wei's method, Lu Xiufu specially trained a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to station in Indian tribes. Combined with their feathered snake god, moon god, fire god, water god, etc., Chinese legends and culture were integrated into it, and it was called ancient history.

For example, before, Zhao Wei opened his head, and the feathered snake god was the Chinese dragon and the incarnation of Fuxi. Later, Lu Jun created the moon god, which was Nuwa, who was also a human-headed snake body.

Fuxi and Nuwa represent the sun and the moon, one yang and one yin, which produces the Yin and Yang Bagua, and we are all their descendants.

As for the sixty-four hexagrams and the hundreds of schools of the Book of Changes, it is even more natural.

As a result, the Manka tribe suddenly had more gods and was instilled with many cultural history that did not belong to them.

Logically speaking, there must be something that is contrary to their beliefs and is difficult to accept.

Originally, Zhao Wei was ready for a long-term battle. Like later colonial missionaries, as long as they persevere, they could believe in God sooner or later.

However, Zhao Wei thought too much.

The preaching journey of the ritual official was not that bumpy, but was quite smooth.

Because while the Song Dynasty brought them faith, it also brought other things.

Medicine, architecture, advanced farming techniques, and of course Hanfu and exquisite porcelain from the Song Dynasty.

The first thing I entered was naturally silk and porcelain as luxury goods.

However, no one expected that the first person to be sought after by Manka people was actually Chinese medicine.

This is the thing. Since the Manka tribe came into contact with the Song Dynasty, a strange disease has begun to spread among the tribe. The Manka witch doctor was completely helpless and could only blame the divine punishment.

But Zhao Wei accidentally discovered that this is just a cold? It is also a cold and a cold disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

It’s not that the Manka people had no colds at first, but from a scientific point of view, the two continents were isolated for thousands of years, and Native Americans had no antibodies to foreign diseases, and had no experience in treatment.

This made Zhao Wei recall that the plague, smallpox and dysentery in Europe in later generations did cause almost extinct damage to the Indians.

He dared not neglect at the moment, so he quickly let the doctor enter Manca and treat it with traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, not all diseases can be cured by traditional Chinese medicine.

However, the reproduction for thousands of years has made it possible for traditional Chinese medicine to prevent even if it cannot be cured. The experience of blocking infection sources of epidemics has matured as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties.

This allowed the Manka tribe to escape.

After seeing the magical Chinese medicine, the Manka people trusted the Song Dynasty to a higher level. They even thought that the Feather Snake God sent them to save themselves, otherwise how could the thousands of miles of oceans come to their territory?

Therefore, I naturally believe in the culture spread by the ritual officials.

In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, the next step is farming technology.

As the Chibucha tribe, the Manka tribe, among the Indians, already belonged to a nation with high levels of agriculture.

However, compared with the Song Dynasty, it is a world of difference.

This is how the Manka people cultivated. When the dry season came, the first line looked for a piece of land suitable for sowing, and then a fire burned all the grass and trees on the land. After the fire was extinguished, they started to watch the sky and wait for it to rain.

When the rainy season comes, the seeds of plants and trees that have not been burned to death break through the soil and sprout and grow vigorously.

Then wait until the next dry season comes, burn it all, wait until the rainy season sprouts and wait until the dry season is gone.

Until no plants grow, you can sow seeds.

In short, the Song people could plant crops two or three seasons a year in places like Central America. They could even drive out the water and soil in places like the four seasons.

But the Mankas planted one season in three years is fast.

I heard from them that it is always harvested every six years.

It is just because the place is good and the yield of corn and potatoes is high, otherwise you will have to starve to death.

Now that the Song Dynasty is here, how can they let them ruin the farming career?

Teach the Manka people the methods of deep cultivation, seasonal sowing, and regular weeding and weight gain, resulting in a bumper harvest of food, which makes them so much that they can’t finish eating, so naturally they are even more grateful to the Song people.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty also brought a precious delicacy that they thought but had nowhere to get, that is sugar.

There is no crop like sugarcane in the Americas. Zhao Wei replaced sugarcane to America and handed over the cultivation technology to the Indians.

He did not use sugar, something as precious as silk and porcelain for the Indians to make huge profits.

There are too many products that can be used as a trade option in the Central Plains, so there is no need to hold everything in hand.

Use it to exchange for the trust and friendship of the Indians and to gain more benefits.

Now, the Manka tribe is growing stronger at an astonishing speed due to the intervention of the Song people, and is also rapidly absorbing the Central Plains culture.

This made Manka develop a strong sense of superiority in the nine tribes of Chibucha, even in front of the Aztecs and Mayans, and was proud to be the same as the Song people.

The tribe was already paved with smooth stone roads like the Song Dynasty towns, and asked Song Dynasty craftsmen to build beautiful Han-style buildings.

A new city that is about to surpass all Indian city-states in Central America is quietly rising.

In fact, Manka is the best propaganda method for the Song Dynasty.

Manka, who came into contact with the Song Dynasty and became strong, was the first, but not the last.

In the past six months, Maya, Aztec, and other Chibucha city-states have seen the rise of Manka and are becoming more and more jealous, and have begun to contact the Song Dynasty and communicate with each other.

A month ago, King Maya Kopan personally came to Luohezhou for a pilgrimage and invited the statue of the Feathered Snake God (True Dragon). The ritual officials of the Song Dynasty also officially entered Maya.

In addition to the Manca gold mine and Manca copper mine, Zhao Wei's third survey team has also advanced south and arrived in later Peru, where there are more abundant mineral deposits than Manca.

Although no output is seen, the prospects are promising

Zhao Wei was sitting upright in the study at this time. Although his coarse cloth robe was simple, it was better to fit and have a tangible shape. There was a little more calmness between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was patiently listening to Master Zhang's explanation of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" with his eyes closed.

It was not until Haiwa gave several winks outside the door that he should leave, and then interrupted: "Master Zhang forgives me, I'll go to the dock."

Master Zhang opened his eyes, saw Haiwa outside, and nodded.

"Go, it won't be used today. Remember to write something that I have said recently and submit it tomorrow."

"Here."

Zhao Wei responded respectfully and stood up and wanted to leave.

I just took a few steps, but turned back, "I have something unknown, I want to ask Mr. Zhang for advice."

"speak."

"How did Master Zhang know that as long as Fuxi and Nuwa are erected on Luohezhou, King Kepan will personally come to the pilgrimage?"

"Haha." Master Zhang smiled and said inconspicuously, "Does King Ning know what Hui Hui people believe?"

"It seems to believe in Allah?"

"Does King Na Ning know again, their holy city, Mecca?"

"I know!"

"Luohezhou is the native Mecca and the holy city of the natives. Only in this way can their relationship with the Song people be more stable, and the Song people's status in their hearts will always be higher."

"Oh." Zhao Wei understood a little.

"But isn't it?" Zhao Wei said, "Let's stand up and they come to worship? The teacher didn't say why King Kopan came?"

"Haha!" Master Zhang laughed, "That's because Lu Junshi gave him a generous gift. He was using people's money to eliminate disasters!"

He smiled at Zhao Wei, "As long as King Kopan comes, the other kings and chiefs will come sooner or later. If they all come, they will be called a holy city!"

"Oh!" Zhao Wei suddenly realized, "I understand!"

There is no major event recently. I have been keeping myself in the house to study, and I rarely ask about the affairs in the court. If Master Zhang doesn't say it, he really doesn't know.

A sentence popped up, "Tsk tsk, this literati's heart is dirty!"

"Hmm?" Master Zhang stood up with his eyebrows. He had just come over for a few days, but why did he start to be perverted again?

Zhao Wei shrank his neck in fear and respectfully saluted Master Zhang, "Disciple leaves."

Well, Zhao Wei never dreamed that someone would be held by him one day, but Master Zhang was an exception.

When I went out with Haiwa on the rain, I didn't rush to go to the dock, but turned to the Blacksmith's House.

There are two major events today that allow Zhao Wei to skip class legitimately.

First, the Blacksmith House finally created a killer cannon.

On the dock, the first seaship improved by the ship was also launched today.
