- Oh ho ho!
Three days later, the Galen ship returned to the port of Manhattan.
Now Zhao Hongyu no longer lives on Manhattan Island.
The city of Manhattan, built on the original Mohican Camp, has become a place where surrounding tribes come and go every day.
Countless Indians walked several days from far away every day, bringing the prey or furs they hunted to Manhattan Spring City to sell, and then used silver coins to buy the goods they needed.
Now the Indians in this area have gradually become accustomed to using silver coins as currency.
The economic system of Manhattan City is also slowly establishing and growing.
Indians think that Manhattan is a good place, clean and lively, and there are so many people every time they come. And they don't have to worry about selling their prey at all. They can sell it as long as they come here.
At the same time, the price of grain, mustard and other commodities in Manhattan is fair, much better than that of the British in Virginia.
Therefore, more and more Indians are willing to come to Manhattan to do business.
Unlike Yaksali City, the buying and selling transactions here in Manhattan City are all about wild animals, or furs and work.
And in the city of Yaksali, in addition to these, there is also a very 'ancient' profession.
Manhattan has straight streets, and the roads are poured with cement, which makes the roads very smooth.
It¡¯s just that there are no blacksmiths in Manhattan now, so it¡¯s impossible to make iron rollers. Otherwise, there would definitely be a lot of carriages in Manhattan.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, Zhao Hongyu said in public to Yaksali that he needed people here.
Therefore, I think it won¡¯t take long for many people from Yaksali City to come to Manhattan City to make a living.
There are two 24-pound cannons placed on both sides of the tall city gate wall of Manhattan.
Since the monthly output is only 6 guns, Zhao Hongyu does not have many such artillery pieces on hand.
On the city walls on both sides above each city gate, it is good to temporarily put two gates first.
At the gate of the city, guards wearing party uniforms looked at everyone who came in and out.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????For the time being, the only persons in Manhattan are Indians, except the genetic men, so the public security cases that frequently occur in the city of Yaxali have not yet appeared.
"However, when those British guys come here in the future, everything will be very difficult to say.
After getting off the Galen ship, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan exchanged one item with Wang Shan on this issue as they walked.
"Chief, it's not just this issue, we also have to consider things at the gold mine." Wang Shan was worried about more things than Zhao Hongyu. The gold mine was a place that had to be considered and paid attention to.
Although Zhao Hongyu built a fortress at the gold mine, there were only 100 guards in that fortress.
This is far from enough to guard the gold mine.
You know, that gold mining belt is so big that 100 people simply can¡¯t guard it.
When the British come, they will definitely know about the gold mine.
When the time comes, people will die for money and birds will die for food. There is nothing they can do to get rich.
It is not impossible to secretly dig gold mines.
So, this is worth and must be considered.
"City security management is easy to solve. Just hire someone from the city police station or security management team to arrest and severely punish anyone who affects public security. This way we can control it." Wang Shan gave Zhao Hongyu an idea.
"You can patrol when there is nothing to do. We work 24 hours a day and eight hours a day. Indians and genetic people are mixed together. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu thought about it and felt that this idea was still a good one.
"Well, not bad. We can implement this method, and maybe we can manage those British people." Zhao Hongyu also knew that other than that, he had no other way to solve it. "But how to solve the gold mine problem? I don't want those British to take advantage."
Now the gold mine is completely the private property of Zhao Hongyu, and it is different from the time when we cooperated with the Mohicans earlier.
"For the time being, the only way is to send more guards to the gold mining area and build fortresses on the mineral veins. Only in this way can you protect your four properties, but there will definitely be some losses. After all, we cannot guard all places."
This is an era of relying on human power to do things, and Zhao Hongyu also knows this.
But it can always be done?If you want to lose less, just reduce your losses.
When there is a shortage of manpower, this is the only way.
"This matter must be done as soon as possible. Although it is already autumn, the construction of the gold mine fortress must start immediately!" Zhao Hongyu told Wang Shan. Wang Shan followed him, nodded and took notes.
Eight days have passed since they came back and forth. At the entrance of the Hudson River in the northeast direction of Manhattan, a tall house made entirely of wood appeared.
When Zhao Hongyu left, there was no such building there. Why did such a big house appear in just eight days?
"You're back!"
Song Hu, Lamour, Chelsea and others who stayed behind all came to the port to wait for Zhao Hongyu.
After seeing Zhao Hongyu coming down, Song Hu went up to greet him.
"I'm back. Things are going very well over there. At the same time, the British see the benefits here. I estimate that people will come here to look for jobs in half a month at most. You should be prepared." Zhao Hongyu responded with a smile. He shouted, and at the same time informed them of what might happen.
Who is this?
Wang Shan certainly does not need to be introduced by Zhao Hongyu. Everyone is familiar with him and cannot be more familiar with him.
But when the leader of the Gurkha mercenaries he trained on the road appeared, it¡¯s no wonder that Song Hu was stunned, because he didn¡¯t recognize him.
"Let me introduce to you, from now on we will be brothers in the trenches. Sharma, a Gurkha, can communicate in English and Hindi, and can also speak Chinese."
With Zhao Hongyu¡¯s introduction, everyone outside Chelsea, such as Lamour and Wang Hu, understood it.
Afterwards, Song Hu and Lamour smiled and greeted Sharma warmly.
"Where is Zhang Tie?"
Zhao Hongyu found that Zhang Tie did not appear, so he asked curiously.
"Zhang Tie is building a shipyard at the entrance of the Hudson River, so he has not come here now."
Hearing this, Song Hu replied.
¡°Shipyard!?¡±
Hearing what Song Hu said, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became interested.
When going to Yaksali City, Zhao Hongyu also talked to Wang Shan about shipbuilding.
I originally thought I would start working on this when I came back.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie had already started to do it before he started.
"Yes, Zhang Tie said that the logs that were cut down should be kept. It is better to use them to build a shipyard and then start building ships."
Song Hu came over and said.
Zhao Hongyu said nothing and listened quietly.
"We also persuaded him. After all, we don't have a shipbuilding master." Song Hu continued talking when he saw that Zhao Hongyu didn't interrupt him and looked like he was listening.
"But Zhang Tie said that we can start with small boats and slowly accumulate experience. After we have experience, we can start building large ships and battleships."
hehe!
Zhao Hongyu laughed. He didn't expect that Zhang Tie and he wanted to go together, and they thought more comprehensively than him.
Zhang Tie knew that one bite would not make him fat, so he planned to build it from a small boat. Accumulate experience step by step, and then expand the scale of shipbuilding.
Although they have no experience in shipbuilding, the genetic people have knowledge that people of this era do not have.
Therefore, they can learn and master shipbuilding skills on their own, and draw useful drawings and record some important data.
"Come on, take me over there and have a look!"
After listening to Song Hu¡¯s story, Zhao Hongyu suddenly became interested and planned to go to the shipyard to have a look.
"Okay, please come this way, it's not far away at all." Song Hu nodded and raised his right hand, pointing to the huge house not far away.
¡°I thought that was what it was, but it turned out that it was a shipyard.
It was only then that Zhao Hongyu knew that the newly built building was the shipyard.
"You don't have to follow me, just go with Song Hu and Wang Shan. Lamour, you take Shamar to get familiar with Manehattan City, and at the same time arrange some houses for them to live in."
It was impossible for Zhao Hongyu to bring so many people with him to the shipyard, so he only brought Wang Shan, nine Guards geneticists, and Song Hu.
After the others got off the boat, Lamour took them into the city.
The sailors of Galen's ship did not disembark. Although they returned to their own territory, they stillWe can¡¯t be idle, we have to train and cruise.
Today, in the waters of Manhattan, there are only four of their Galen ships as a defensive force, so they have to train and cruise every day to prepare for attacks from afar.
"Originally, I also thought about coming back and starting to build a shipyard, but I didn't expect that this guy Zhang Tie took the first step."
On the way, Zhao Hongyu said excitedly to Song Hu.
"After your Majesty leaves, the logs cannot be sold at all. Although we are still building houses, we can't use so many logs. So Zhang Tie thought of this method, which can consume the logs at the same time, and can make those The Indians and Genetics have something to do, otherwise a month¡¯s salary would be given to them.¡±
Hahaha!
Zhao Hongyu laughed when he heard this.
"Industrial silver doesn't cost much. If you don't have anything to do, just take it as a break. I'm not the kind of capitalist who drinks blood. But I also know that Zhang Tie means well, but he is just a little petty."
Song Hu shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips and said, "Who says it's not the case? It's right to have two days off a week. But this guy wants the workers to go around without a break, so I thought this guy has the potential to be a black-hearted businessman. .¡±
When Song Hu mentioned Zhang Tie, he started to complain.
But everyone knows that Zhang Tie is doing this for Zhao Hongyu¡¯s good, and his intentions are not bad. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site).
