    The water of Lake Ontario is very clear. Compared with the current lake water in later generations, it is absolutely pure and natural without any pollution.

    Zhao Hongyu and Emma urged their horses to come to the lake. They quietly looked at the beautiful lake scenery in front of them.

    The lake water is so clear and translucent that you can see the bottom, and because the lake water is too clear, the entire lake surface shows a strange light green color.

    Of course, this is just a visual error. This is only because the lake water is very clear.

    This situation only occurs in the section of the lake close to the shore. The closer to the center of the lake, the lighter the blue the lake becomes.

    After all, Lake Ontario has direct access to the north through the St. Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean.

    "Look, look, there are fish, there are fish."

    Suddenly, Emma pointed her finger not far away and shouted excitedly.

    As she shouted loudly, a wave suddenly appeared on the shore. A plump salmon turned over under the lake water on the shore. Its tail flapped on the lake surface, and then it submerged into the water.  disappeared.

    Zhao Hongyu turned over and slowly walked to the lake and leaned down to look.

    He saw dense and thick green water plants floating under the clear lake surface.

    And among the aquatic plants swaying with the waves, countless fish are swimming among them.

    Basically, the fish he saw were quite large, weighing three to four kilograms or more.

    It can be seen from this that there are rich freshwater fishery resources in Lake Ontario.

    Although the nutritional value of these fish is much lower than that of marine fish, for Zhao Hongyu, as long as he can get enough protein, genetic people should not be too picky about these things.

    He raised his head and looked around.

    Lake Ontario is vast, and you can see the overlapping shadows of the surrounding mountains in the distance. Even further away, Zhao Hongyu can't see it.

    ¡°And standing here, he couldn¡¯t see the other side of Lake Ontario at all.

    To his right, the course of the St. Lawrence River meandering through a canyon appeared there.  That is the entrance and exit to Lake Ontario. Whether you are entering Lake Ontario from the St. Lawrence River or entering the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario, you must pass through this river.

    It can be said that this channel of the St. Lawrence River is the most important to Zhao Hongyu.

    Zhao Hongyu continued to observe and saw that the nearby terrain and environment were also very good, so he nodded with satisfaction.

    In addition to building a city, a shipyard can also be built here.

    The sea-going ships built by the shipyard can directly enter Lake Ontario, enter the St. Lawrence River from Lake Ontario, sail northeastward through Montreal and Quebec, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean.

    Now Newfoundland has been discovered by the French, but there are not many indigenous people on the island of Newfoundland, and nothing valuable has been discovered by the French for the time being, so that place is of little significance to the French.

    For Newfoundland, Zhao Hongyu will definitely not let it go.

    "It's just that it's too early to consider this issue now. After all, he has only occupied a small area of ????the American continent, and it is not possible to consider the issue of Newfoundland.

    "Your Highness, the environment here is quite good. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side." At this time, Wang Shan rode up behind Zhao Hongyu and Emma. He got off his horse and came up and said to Zhao Hongyu at the same time.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Sana is surrounded by mountains, which makes it difficult for enemies who want to attack us from the road. But attacking from across Lake Ontario, the Iroquois don't have to worry, they don't have that kind of ship. So we  What needs to be defended now is the entrance to the St. Lawrence River."

    Wang Shan chuckled and said: "I have sent people back to Manhattan. In a month at most. A large number of African slaves will be escorted over, and they will be able to immediately invest in the construction of this place."

    "Send more people around, we need to understand the dynamics of the Iroquois. At the same time, send people to Montreal and Quebec City in the northeast, we need to make contact with the French." Zhao Hongyu has no idea about using slaves, anyway.  In this era, a slave can use it without others, and in his current situation, it is impossible not to use it.

    Any kind of construction requires manpower, especially some very dangerous work, which requires slaves even more.

    It¡¯s not that genetic people cannot be used, it¡¯s just that compared to a genetic person and a slave, a genetic person is much more expensive.  So in the case of people who have lost genes, Zhao Hongyu isDon't want to see it.

    Slaves are different.

    It¡¯s not that Zhao Hongyu is cold-blooded, it¡¯s just that he can¡¯t do anything about it.

    Rather than sacrificing the genetic man or letting the genetic man do such dangerous things, Zhao Hongyu decided that it would be better to use slaves.

    Because the price/performance ratio is very high.

    At the same time, genetic people are the cornerstone to ensure the stability of their own power and cannot be sacrificed unless absolutely necessary.

    In this regard, slaves are incomparable.

    "Well, the more slaves, the better. We are going to build a city here to control the area around Lake Ontario. After the city here is on track, we can follow the river connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie and go to Lake Erie to find a suitable place.  We continue to build towns in the areas, and soon we will be able to control the Great Lakes region."

    Zhao Hongyu has a detailed plan in mind, and is now implementing it step by step as expected.

    "Your Highness, the Iroquois are not fools. The reason why they are domineering in this area is simply because they have a large number of people. If we have a large population and have sophisticated weapons, we may not be able to deter them."

    Wang Shan chatted with Zhao Hongyu with a relaxed look.

    When men are chatting, Indian women will never interrupt.

    Little Emma has completely inherited the virtues of Indian women, and with her mother¡¯s advice, she even knows what Indian girls should do after they get married.

    So, while Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu were chatting, Emma got off her horse and went to the lake to play alone.

    Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shan and said: "Peace is based on the guarantee of strong force. Without a strong military force, peace is just a delusion and is not realistic at all." He nodded and said to Wang  I quite agree with what Shan said.

    "Your Highness, I have already given instructions to the people returning to Manhattan. Ask them to convey this to Zhang Tie and ask Zhang Tie to adjust the types of imported goods. We now need a large number of black slaves, and we are willing to pay a high price for this."

    After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu smiled bitterly: ¡°If we do this, wouldn¡¯t the number of black people in the American continent be very large in the future, and it will become like Guangzhou in future generations?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu felt a little worried about this situation.

    ¡° He doesn¡¯t want this situation to happen again in his country, where there are too many gangsters.

    That¡¯s all for that era in later generations. After all, he doesn¡¯t have much power and can¡¯t control that much, but now that he has come to 1620 and still has so much power, he can completely stop such things from happening.

    "Your Highness, you are in the early stages of starting a business. How can you take care of so many people? You must know that if you don't use them, you can only cultivate genetic people to do things. But how many genetic people can you buy with the 300 million yuan in cash you have now?  ? This is simply not enough, so we still have to buy black slaves."

    How could Wang Shan, his gold-medal henchman, not know Zhao Hongyu¡¯s thoughts?

    In fact, in Wang Shan¡¯s heart, he does not want to see too many black people in the empire.

    But given the current situation, it is unrealistic for black slaves not to use them.

    If black slaves are not used, who will do so many projects?

    Who will do all the dangerous work?

    These are very real issues.

    "By the way, Your Highness, do you need to buy some eunuchs from Arabia?"

    Wang Shan suddenly changed the topic and talked about purchasing eunuchs.

    Well!

    Zhao Hongyu was stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t know why Wang Shan would bring up such a topic.

    "What are you buying Arab eunuchs for? It's better to buy some Arabian dancers than to buy those eunuchs. At least you can watch them belly dance to relieve your boredom." Zhao Hongyu curled his lips and said to Wang Shan.

    At this time, Wang Shan became a little playful and smiling, and exuded a sense of vulgarity.

    "Your Highness, you are now declared to be the crown prince of an empire, the prince of Manhattan, and you can be considered a great noble. According to our Eastern tradition, you must have some eunuchs around you."

    ??He told the reason why.

    It turns out that Wang Shan wanted to buy some eunuchs to be eunuchs to serve Zhao Hongyu.

    "Forget it, forget it, I don't need those people to serve me." Zhao Hongyu waved his hands repeatedly and rejected Wang Shan's proposal.

    Seeing Zhao Hongyu¡¯s resolute attitude, Wang Shan could only shrug his shoulders and said to Zhao Hongyu with great pity.?: "Well, since Your Highness is so determined, I won't force you. Anyway, Your Highness doesn't even have a harem now. It won't be too late to consider this issue when your harem expands in the future."

    Hearing what Wang Shan said, Zhao Hongyu suddenly couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.

    Returning the harem, I¡¯m under a lot of pressure now, so I don¡¯t have the thought to get a harem.

    "Wang Shan, do you think I'm the kind of guy who can't walk around after seeing a woman, who wants to have a harem all day long?" Zhao Hongyu asked.  Wang Shan shook his head: "Your Highness, some things are not a matter of whether you are willing or not. If you have this awareness, you will definitely have many women around you."

    Wang Shan spoke with great certainty like a magic stick.

    Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t take this seriously.

    "Come on, I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan seriously.  "Don't think about it. No matter how powerful I am, I'm just a human being. How can I keep up with so many women?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian  Registered literature members recommend this work.
