1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 56 [Reverse Colonization]

With the arrival of armed forces and the establishment of laws, Clark Township became the territory of the Horse Post, or a colony.It might sound like magic—Indians colonizing a small American town.

Now that the colonization has been implemented, of course he will not loot the residents here again.

Looting is not looting.

But according to legal documents, some things that should be "confiscated" must of course be "confiscated".For example, most of the nearly one hundred muskets confiscated last night will be brought back to the clan, and some will be left for the town police to use.

For another example, if a white family was wiped out during the rebellion, his property would naturally be confiscated.

And he seemed to be the richest family in the town, so it took a lot of effort to count and confiscate his property, and the horse sentry was also present to participate.

Not far from the town hall, in a beautiful small building.

Several people are busy counting and moving belongings.

"1145 Spanish silver dollars, 514 U.S. dollar gold coins of various denominations, banknotes, gold bars, jewelry... these alone are worth seven to eight thousand dollars, what a rich man!" Horse Whistle held the counting list in his hand and couldn't help but say A sentence.

These are only currency and gold and silver jewelry, not counting the house, land and a timber factory owned by the family.

"This family is your former owner?" Ma Whistle turned to look at Mary.

"Yes," said Mary Freeman.

Ma Shao thought for a while: "Before enough houses are built in the town, people who have no place to live, including the garrison and black people, can live in this house and the house left after the gunsmith moved out, plus the town hall, If it’s not enough, put up a few more tents.”

"Mary, you will act as a temporary tax officer first."

"Temporary tax officer?" Mary wondered.

Ma Shao explained: "Because this is not your official mission. Now I need to return to the clan. After a few days, I will come back and arrange a formal mission for you."

"During this period, the work you need to do is mainly three small things. First, you need to find a few people who know how to keep accounts..."

Suddenly Mary said, "I can keep accounts."

Ma Shao was a little surprised at first, and then nodded: "Since that's the case, I don't think I need to say more about this aspect. I will come directly to check your work results when the time comes."

Mary said confidently: "No problem, what are the other two things?"

Ma Shao continued: "Gather some workers who can sew trousers. We don't need too many for the time being, and we need to buy some old canvas. I will give you a sum of money."

"You're going to make trousers out of old canvas?" Mary guessed what he was thinking.

"That's right." Horse Whistle did indeed intend to do so.

More precisely, he was going to design jeans.

Historically, jeans were originally trousers made from old canvas to suit the needs of western expeditions.

The biggest feature of this kind of trousers is that they are durable. They were soon warmly welcomed by adventurers and workers, quickly became popular, and eventually became one of the most mainstream clothing in the world.

According to the original history, after a few years, a shrewd western businessman will launch jeans and make a fortune from it.

But now, Ma Shuo can design jeans before that guy, and he certainly won't let go of such a good opportunity.

The production of jeans may be the easiest way to make money in this era. The technical content is sewing pants, and the resource is old canvas that can be seen everywhere.And jeans have customers all over the world, and all adventurers and workers will fall in love with it.

Mary hesitated. "With all due respect, that doesn't look like a good idea."

"Maybe." Horse Whistle did not explain, but said, "After you have workers and canvas, don't be in a hurry to sew pants for now. When I come back, I will tell you how to do it."

Although it is not difficult to make jeans, the style design is still a bit tricky, and he clearly knows what style will become the mainstream.

Although Mary doubted the value of the canvas trousers, since the horse whistle had given the order, he naturally obeyed, turned around and went to work.

After leaving the small building, Ma Shao walked around the town again, and then the following scene came into his vision.

Two Apache warriors walked through the street and suddenly noticed a novel crop piled up at the door of a certain townsman.

garlic.

They didn't seem to have seen garlic before, so they went over immediately, picked up two bunches of garlic and discussed for a while.

Seeing this, the male owner of the house couldn't help showing a bit of horror on his face, and then forcibly put on a flattering posture, smiling and sending all the garlic in front of the door to the hands of the two Apache warriors, the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, the two Apache fighters did not shirk, so they accepted it with a smile.

The horse whistle not far away suddenly frowned, walked up to the white townspeople, and took out a Spanish silver dollar: "How much is this garlic?"

"Uh...no money." How dare the white townspeople take money.

The horse post gave him the silver dollar directly: "Then take this silver coin. Don't do this kind of thing in the future, regardless of civilians, police or garrison, you have to pay for things in the town. If you insist on giving it away, I have a reason I suspect you are offering bribes."

A Spanish silver dollar, worth about one dollar, is more than enough to buy some garlic.But the horse whistle was too lazy to settle the accounts, so he threw the silver dollar over without any explanation, and the townspeople could only accept it in fear.

"Thank you, Yin..."

"Call me Chief."

The townspeople quickly changed their tune: "Thank you, respected chief!"

Afterwards, Mashao talked to the two Apache soldiers for a while: "You are stationed here, you are law-and-order, and the most important law-and-order. You must not only observe military discipline, but also set an example and obey the laws of the town. Don't Looting, don't accept bribes, let alone conflict with others..."

He was very worried that armed conflict would break out in the town.Clark Town may be the only reverse colony in the world, with complex personnel and conflicts.

Once a conflict occurs in such a place, it is likely to turn into a tragic bloodshed.

In that case, no matter what the result is, he will suffer heavy losses, ranging from a reduction in personnel, to a direct failure of the colonial plan.In the worst case, it could even draw the attention of the US federal government.

Therefore, the horse post must restrain all parties here, not only the whites, but also the blacks and their people, so that this colony can be stabilized and continue to produce value.

The Apaches don't have a deep understanding of military discipline and law, but fortunately they have enough respect for the personal authority of the horse post.

Under the repeated emphasis of the horse sentry, they all promised to abide by the military discipline law.

That afternoon, Horse Whistle took the Comanches, the Browning family of the gunsmith, the white children, and most of the Apache fighters, and prepared to leave Clark Town.

"Is he a Comanche?" Just as he was about to leave the town, the horse sentry noticed an Indian standing on a street corner not far away.

This person was obviously not an Apache, but he was not beside Chief Twin Wolf and the others. Instead, he stood at the corner of the street, looking at them timidly.

"He's a traitor to the Comanche," said a Comanche coldly.
