Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    manhattan city

    Since Quebec has been incorporated into the empire's territory, Zhao Hongyu's territory has expanded a lot.

    And the French people living in Quebec have also begun to pour into Manhattan.  The reason is very simple, because there are so many job opportunities here in Manhattan.

    After a winter's rest, as soon as spring comes, Manhattan City begins again with vigorous construction.

    Build roads, build houses, build various facilities, build water conservancy Before Zhao Hongyu left, the urban planning of Manhattan City had already been designed.

    As the first city under Zhao Hongyu, it is also the most open city.

    The construction of Manhattan will definitely not be that simple.

    ¡°At least in terms of planning, their priorities are different.

    For example, when building roads, they cannot build very narrow roads because it is predicted that there will be more and more horse-drawn carriages in Manhattan within ten years.

    Therefore, in order to avoid the brain-dead problems of urban planning in later generations, roads should not be built to such a width that there will be no congestion in hundreds of years.

    Although based on process and technology issues, the quality of the road surface may not be very good.

    But it is always better to renovate the road surface than to redesign it.

    This is like the Chinese capital in later generations. Urban planning did not take into account many problems. This resulted in roads that were too narrow and traffic jams that drove people crazy. Moreover, due to early planning problems, they could not be changed even if they wanted to.

    Zhao Hongyu and the others had completely thought of such a thing in advance and took precautions.

    Another issue is drainage and sewage.

    Although it seems that it is too early to consider this issue now, for the sake of future generations, this issue also needs to be carefully planned, right?

    As people who have lived in later generations, Zhao Hongyu and the others do not want to make many mistakes out of their understanding of the world of later generations.

    So, as soon as spring arrives in Manhattan, major construction begins.

    Because of the construction, the demand for manpower is very huge.

    This attracted the English from Virginia and Pennsylvania, as well as the French from Quebec.

    They came to Manhattan in large numbers, which somewhat alleviated the labor shortage.

    But this still doesn¡¯t solve the problem.

    Because of the lack of manpower, there are still many projects in Manhattan that have not been started yet.

    The same is true for Lake Ontario and other cities.

    The area that is slightly better is Quebec, because there are tens of thousands of French people there.

    And the European merchant ships that were trading back and forth brought the news that America was full of opportunities back to the European continent.

    This gives hope to the bankrupt poor people who are in dire straits on the European continent, who are already starved to death and about to starve to death.

    Unfortunately, just taking a boat to America requires a lot of money.

    Therefore, although they see hope, they cannot touch the edge of hope.

    I have to say, this is a very cruel thing.

    Because of the prosperity of trade, the Manhattan Pier is even more lively than in winter.

    Those merchant ships from Europe not only carried sailors, but also many of the merchants¡¯ own family members.

    Because the public security here in Manhattan is good, and the living environment is also very good.  Therefore, many businessmen plan to naturalize and bring their families to live in America.

    There are people with vision and quick thinking in any era.

    Although they do not have the vision beyond the times like Zhao Hongyu, many of them still see the strength of the Song Empire.

    For such people, Zhao Hongyu and others do not object, but they are not very welcoming either.

    However, a piece of land was allocated for them, and houses were built and rented out to these businessmen to accommodate their families.

    Buying a house is impossible.

    There are currently no houses for sale in Manhattan.

    Those houses are only for sale to citizens, so don¡¯t even think about it if you are not a citizen.

    But even so, many businessmen are still eager to pursue it.

    Because a large number of European maritime merchants began to settle industries in Manhattan, some European craftsmen and some shops began to appear in Manhattan.

    Some small European handicrafts and food began to appear in Manhattan, enriching the recipes of people in Manhattan.

    Everything looks so beautiful.

    And with thisAt the same time, more and more European church missionaries came to Manhattan to spread glory for their ¡®Lord¡¯.

    Song Hu paid great attention to the arrival of these people.

    That is to detain and supervise them and prevent them from contact with ordinary people.

    Even if those missionaries clamored and threatened Zhang Tie, they would not be moved. In short, ¡®God¡¯ is not welcome here in Manhattan.

    ¡°The ¡®high-ups¡¯ of the empire are not interested in these guys and their so-called ¡®lords¡¯.

    Although it sounds nice, if you really want them to take root here, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

    First of all, their faith is very exclusive and does not allow other faiths to exist in the missionary area.  This will lead to conflicts between them and the Indians in the Manhattan area, because the Indians believe in animism, which means that there are many gods born in nature.

    "And these missionaries are not good people. Maybe they will incite European believers in Manhattan to start a war of faith in the Americas.

    Therefore, we have to guard against them.

    At the same time, the church also believes that they want to override the imperial power. This is something that Zhao Hongyu cannot tolerate, and it is not something that Wang Shan, Song Hu, Zhang Tie and other genetic people can recognize.

    Therefore, Zhang Tie certainly doesn¡¯t have a good look on these guys.

    If it weren¡¯t for Wang Shan¡¯s instructions not to cause too much trouble, it would not be impossible for Zhang Tie to send people to assassinate these missionaries.

    Fortunately, the intelligence department in charge of Wang Shan has done well, and the faith plan is going very smoothly.

    As long as the Song Empire has its own sect, these missionaries can get out.

    ????????????????????????? Zhang Tie has such strong confidence in the advancement of the Wangshan plan and the current ¡®faith¡¯ plan.

    As long as you give them some time to win more believers, the European missionaries will have no hope.

    There will be no place for them in America.

    Fortress Military Intelligence in the heart of Manhattan

    "Come in!"

    After Song Hu went to Lake Ontario, Zhang Tiezheng, who was already the highest official in Manhattan, was sitting behind his desk, processing a lot of documents.

    In the spring, major construction begins in Manhattan, and many construction projects require approval.

    At the same time, he also serves as the director of the umbrella company and the minister of economic policy of the empire, so daily bulk commodity trade must go through his approval, so Zhang Tie's workload has greatly increased.

    "Damn Wang Shan went to Europe with His Highness, but I was busy here in Manhattan alone."

    Zhang Tie ignored the secretary who pushed in the door, but complained in a low voice while signing the document.

    "Sir, this is a document handed over by the intelligence department. You need to sign and approve it."

    The male secretary put the document in his hand on the table, then took a few steps away and said to Song Hu.

    "Put it here first, I'll deal with it later."

    Zhang Tie looked up, then pointed at the document with his finger and said to the secretary.

    "Sir, the intelligence department said that this approval is very urgent."

    Seeing that Zhang Tie was a little unconcerned, the secretary had to remind him.

    "Okay, I get it."

    Zhang Tie waved his hand, and the secretary exited the office.

    Damn it, what kind of approval is it that we need it so urgently?

    With the secretary¡¯s reminder, Zhang Tie didn¡¯t dare to be careless.

    God knows what the intelligence department is doing. If something really big is delayed, then I will definitely be blamed for my death.

    Therefore, after the secretary left, Zhang Tie picked up the document and read it carefully.

    ¡° Haha, it turns out it¡¯s the set of equipment I got back at a high price a few days ago.

    After seeing the contents of the document clearly, Zhang Tie laughed.

    It seems that the evolution of these guys in the intelligence department is going well, and they have now begun to reach the 'shock' stage.

    After muttering to himself, he took out a pen and signed his name and approved it. Then he took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Come in, I have approved the application from the intelligence department."  , now you can hand this document to them."

    Soon, the secretary came in and took away the documents.

    Zhang Tieze looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand with a smile and said to himself: "It's really good.Yes, this thing is too expensive.  **That Chen Zhenbang is too shady. It¡¯s just a walkie-talkie with a signal coverage of one kilometer, but it only cost me 10,000 yuan.  There is a limit to the quantity of this shitty time and space trader. Otherwise, if this thing is distributed to the future naval fleet, it will be an artifact.  "

    It turns out that Zhang Tie contacted Chen Zhenbang to purchase this kind of walkie-talkie after he became the "township chief".

    After all, now they can have some permissions to purchase goods from the space-time trader.

    Although there are many commodities in modern society, except for those that are not open to the public, there are many commodities that they can now buy.

    For example, this walkie-talkie.

    Unfortunately, because they have not invested in research on this product, although it can be purchased, there is a limit on the quantity.

    Throughout the seventeenth century, the system allowed no more than 100 copies to circulate.

    In other words, before Zhao Hongyu invested in the development of walkie-talkies, he could only use 100 walkie-talkies.

    This is somewhat regrettable.

    As Zhang Tie said, although the signal coverage of this kind of walkie-talkie is only three kilometers, it is a sharp weapon.

    Let¡¯s not talk about the army. If it is used in the navy, it will have indescribable benefits for command.

    Zhang Tie put the walkie-talkie in the drawer and smiled bitterly.

    Let¡¯s work honestly. This month, I have invested 100 million yuan in a copycat research institute. I hope that some new products will be released, but don¡¯t come up with carbonated drinks like last time (To be continued  .
