    After a lot of hard work, Zhao Hongyu finally managed to sell all the supplies he had accumulated in Manhattan for four months through the space-time trader.

    And when Zhao Hongyu finished handling it, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Since returning to Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu has approached Wang Shan and the others to discuss some plans.  At the same time, he was working non-stop to deal with the supplies that had been accumulated for a long time, but Zhao Hongyu didn't even have anything to eat.

    Now that everything was settled, Zhao Hongyu suddenly felt a sense of hunger in his stomach.

    "Hehe, I'm a little hungry." Zhao Hongyu smiled sheepishly.

    Wang Shan and Zhang Tie didn¡¯t have anything to worry about, because they themselves were a little hungry now.

    "Send someone back to ask Emma if they have eaten. If they haven't eaten, come out and eat with me. I plan to have a bowl of ramen. I'm a little greedy after not eating for a month."

    After swallowing his saliva, Zhao Hongyu gave Wang Shan instructions.

    "Okay, your highness, I will send someone back to ask." Then Wang Shan whispered a few words to the gene people guards behind him, and the two gene people rode away.

    At this time, Zhao Hongyu and the others began to ride towards Manhattan.

    Sitting on the horse, Zhao Hongyu checked the virtual account balance in the space-time trader.

    ??More than 1.54 billion yuan.

    Haha, now I can upgrade my civil affairs level.

    I hope you can give me a better function, just don¡¯t cheat me.

    After closing the virtual account and exiting, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s face was filled with joy.

    "Your Highness, after you have processed all the squeezed materials, there must be a lot of money in your account." Wang Shan came up and asked softly at this time.

    Zhao Hongyu nodded: "My estimate with Zhang Tie is good, the total is more than 1.54 billion yuan. And if I want to upgrade the civil affairs level, I need to break through the 100,000 mark, and I am on the other side of Lake Ontario."  Thirty thousand people have been resettled. We already have a population of more than 10,000, so I only need to train 60,000 people to upgrade the civil affairs level."

    Hearing this, Wang Shan said: "Your Highness, you must consider the battle losses. Although you have left 30,000 people in Lake Ontario, haven't 20,000 of them have already gone to Quebec. I am worried that there will be losses. After all, it is a war.  It¡¯s no joke.¡±

    Then, Wang Shan continued: "And your Highness, please don't forget that there is a chance of failure in cultivating genetic people. If a bad system fails, Master, all your money will be wasted."

    ¡°Well, what Wang Shan reminded is really reasonable.

    "Then I will cultivate more genetic people. In short, try my best not to fail." Zhao Hongyu said to Wang Shan helplessly.  After all, Zhao Hongyu cannot control the probability of failure in genetic human cultivation.

    The group of people quickly returned to Manhattan. At the city gate, the two genetic people who had been sent to find Emma were already waiting there.

    When the two of them saw Zhao Hongyu and his entourage galloping towards them, they shook their reins and rode up to meet them.

    "Your Highness, the Queen has already had dinner. She asked us to tell you that you don't need to worry about her. She and Lady Sarah can play by themselves at night. Just let you have dinner by yourself."

    Zhao Hongyu nodded and said: "In that case, let's ignore Emma. I think she will be served by someone in the castle, so she will definitely not be hungry."

    Afterwards, the group of people came to the market at the port.

    "Hey, Your Highness, you are back."

    After Zhao Hongyu and the others entered the noodle shop, the young noodle shop owner looked up, bowed and greeted with a happy face.

    "Yeah, I just came back. I'm a little hungry after all the work, so I came here to have something to eat."

    Zhao Hongyu sat down and responded with a smile.

    The wife of the noodle shop owner came over with a smile on her face and quickly placed the teapot and cup in front of Zhao Hongyu.

    ¡°Look at the head, the wider strips of ramen have more beef.¡± Zhao Hongyu refused the service, poured himself a cup of tea and said loudly.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll make some noodles for you.¡± The boss responded and started to make some noodles.

    The street outside the noodle shop is full of people and still very lively.

    The little boss¡¯s wives were busy on their own, either cleaning the table or adding firewood to the stove.

    ??You can¡¯t tell, but the little boss is quite happy.

    "Your Highness, there have been more and more merchant ships coming and going in Manhattan Port recently, and weHowever, because it is still winter, there is no way to start the construction of the terminal. Therefore, it is obvious that the terminal is now under a bit of pressure.  "

    Wang Shan and Zhang Tie sat next to Zhao Hongyu, one on the left and one on the right. After sitting down, Zhang Tie told Zhao Hongyu some of the problems he was encountering in Manhattan.

    "And Your Highness, you went to Lake Ontario again, so we have no source of materials. I am having a headache because of this."

    Zhang Tie said this for a reason. You must know that much of the development of Manhattan relies on Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Hongyu's time and space trader.

    For example, building materials such as cement and bricks require a space-time trader to purchase and transport them to Manhattan.

    ¡°And this thing can only be used by Zhao Hongyu.

    In other words, if Zhao Hongyu leaves, then this kind of building materials will no longer be available in Manhattan.

    At the same time, in addition to this, there is another not-so-good situation.

    ?That is, there is no way to sell some of the collected products.

    Because buying and selling requires Zhao Hongyu himself to be here. If he leaves, there will be nothing he can do.

    This can be regarded as a small bug that needs to be considered in the development of Zhao Hongyu.

    "The pier can berth ten ships at the same time. Why is it not enough now? It has only been half a year, and the development is too fast."

    Zhao Hongyu sighed.

    Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly: "Who says it's not the case? We are developing too fast here. This is something that none of us thought of at the beginning. Originally we thought that the wharf we are using now should be enough.  , but now it seems that our original consideration was very poor."

    Zhao Hongyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "It's winter now, so we can't start construction. Let's wait until spring. In spring, we will just expand the dock. Anyway, we have enough manpower."

    Zhao Hongyu agreed to Zhang Tie¡¯s plan for dock expansion.

    "Well, with the money in the virtual account now, I can't buy building materials for the time being. I must first consider upgrading my civil affairs level and letting them live in the Great Lakes region. With a population of 90,000, even the Iroquois cannot  They will be underestimated."

    Zhao Hongyu also told Zhang Tie about his own arrangements.

    Zhang Tie has no objection to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s current arrangement.

    ¡°It¡¯s winter anyway, so we can¡¯t start construction even if we have the materials.

    ¡°And now that His Highness is back in Manhattan, there is nothing to worry about with him here.

    "By the way, Zhang Tie, do the Umbrella Company's products still have enough? The current trade is so fierce, I'm worried about which products have been sold out, right?"

    Zhao Hongyu asked.

    "Yes, it's almost done." Zhang Tie nodded and replied.  "Originally, I was worried about what I would do if I ran out of products and Your Highness wouldn't come by then. But there's no need to worry now. After all, Your Highness is back, right?"

    At this time, Wang Shan, who was sitting on the left side of Zhao Hongyu, asked: "Zhang Tie, how are the recent cooperation between the pirates and the gangs controlled by the intelligence department? Are there any good developments?"

    After leaving Manhattan for more than a month, Wang Shan was most concerned about this matter.

    Because he, Song Hu and Zhang Tie have studied together, if these pirates use it well, they can be regarded as a great weapon in Manhattan.

    ¡° Moreover, they can also use pirates to obtain the ships that Manhattan lacks most.

    Hearing this, Zhang Tie smiled proudly, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "The progress is not bad. During the month you left, pirates attacked dozens of trading ships, and we also learned from their  I have purchased seven or eight Galen ships."

    Hearing what Zhang Tie said, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    "Oh, is the plan going so smoothly? According to your words, we already have more than ten sea-going ships on hand, right?"

    Now Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t think much about the army issue. After all, the army has basically taken shape now, and he only needs money to cultivate genetic people.

    What troubles him the most is the problem of sea ships, because they haven't solved it yet.

    ¡°And if Zhao Hongyu wants to rise, he must not give up on the ocean.

    But if he doesn¡¯t have enough warships, he can¡¯t even talk about conquering the ocean.

    Ships, ships, the biggest headache for Zhao Hongyu now is that he no longer has a reliable maritime force in his hands.

    But stillYes, although there is still a long way to go before he can conquer the oceans, after all, he has more than a dozen ships under his command in this year, right?

    "Continue to cooperate with the pirates. After all, our shipyard can't build big ships now, right?" Zhao Hongyu was excited for a moment, then calmed down and said to Zhang Tie.

    As soon as Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, Wang Shan intervened and said: "It's been more than half a year, how come our shipyard still can't build a ship? This is not possible. And the ships we bought from pirates,  If someone recognizes you in the future, it will cause a lot of trouble, right?"

    Wang Shan expressed his worries, while Zhao Hongyu frowned.

    Yes, Wang Shan¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.

    Pirates plundered merchant ships for trade and sold them to them.

    However, these ships have their own unique features, and you must know many people if you sail on the sea all year round.

    Therefore, there is a high probability that someone will recognize it.

    ¡°If something like this really happens, it will have a bad impact on Manhattan and cause huge trouble.

    "Well, Zhang Tie, you should pay attention to this. I think it would be best if we could solve this little trouble." So after Zhao Hongyu thought for a while, he turned his head and reminded Zhang Tie.

    Zhang Tie saw that Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were worried about this, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already considered this problem and have already started to solve it."

    Zhang Tie¡¯s words made both Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu curious.

    "How did you solve this problem?" Wang Shan couldn't help but ask.

    hey-hey

    Zhang Tie smiled and said: "I sent all the ships I bought from pirates to the shipyard. Although those carpenters can't build big ships, they can still modify them. And through modification, those people  You can also get some ship data, and once you become proficient, you can start building ships, right?"

    This method of handling is simply killing two birds with one stone.

    Hearing what Zhang Tie said, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan looked at each other and thought secretly in their hearts at the same time.

    "By the way, Zhang Tie. What kind of ships did the pirates sell to us?" Zhao Hongyu asked.

    Zhang Tie replied: "It's not a very good ship. There are Spanish Sanqian clippers, double-decker Galen ships, and Dutch commercial and war ships." Zhang Tie said that within this month,  The types of boats he purchased.  Then he continued: "Through the modification of these ships, the genetic people in the shipyard have obtained first-hand data and are able to build medium-sized triangular sailing clippers."

    "Oh, we can actually build a new type of ship." This made Zhao Hongyu very satisfied. After all, this proved that Zhang Tie's efforts were not in vain, and the craftsmen in the shipyard were making continuous progress.

    Zhang Tie nodded and said: "Yes, this kind of boat has been built and refurbished, and the company has begun to use the new boat to fish. The previous small fishing boats have been eliminated and the company no longer uses them." At this point, Zhang Tie said  Tie paused for a moment, and then continued: "But I think that this kind of medium-sized triangular sail boat will not be used for long, because there will be large fishing boats that can be built by then, right?"

    "Okay, that's all for the future. If you have a medium-sized boat now, let's use it first. After all, medium-sized boats can also fish, and they can catch much more fish at one time than small boats, right?" Wang Shan scolded with a smile.  Said Zhang Tie.

    At this time, Zhao Hongyu had other things on his mind.

    ??Although the gang is controlled by the intelligence agency, your cooperation with the pirates is relatively smooth.  And they also bought sea ships from the pirates, but this alone was not enough.

    With just a dozen ships at sea, it is obviously unreliable to control such a large sea area.

    ¡°And after taking control of Quebec, the Atlantic estuary of the St. Lawrence River must be defended by warships.  Otherwise, the unwilling French warships would definitely come in from the river.

    Therefore, you must expand the number of sea-going ships you own in a short period of time.

    At the same time, as its territory expands, the coastal defense territory will also expand.

    "I'm afraid, the number of ships under my command will not grow at all, and it will not keep up with the expansion of the territory.

    "Your noodles are good, please use them slowly!"

    While Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, a big bowl was placed in front of him.

    The fragrant ramen has been prepared, with a thick layer of beef on top.??.

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s index finger moved when he saw it, and he immediately put his thoughts back.

    "It's time to eat noodles, it's time to eat noodles. Eat to fill your stomach first and then think about those troublesome things." Zhao Hongyu looked around and said.  (To be continued.
