- "Everyone, please work harder and put all these poles up!"
? American continent, Lake Ontario.
There is a lively scene everywhere here, and two-story buildings combining cement and wood are rising neatly from the ground.
Between these small buildings, straight cement roads run into the distance.
As the top military and political officer here, Song Hu¡¯s planning was completely based on the American small town communities of later generations.
He doesn¡¯t want to build high-rise buildings, but he likes the scenery of small towns in the United States.
And it can retain the natural features as much as possible without destroying the gifts of nature.
In addition to the workers building houses, there are many people who have erected round wooden pillars on both sides of the street.
Everyone is surprised. They don¡¯t know what is the purpose of erecting such pillars outside the house.
But for the sake of wages, they don¡¯t care how much.
Unlike Manhattan City, after the beginning of spring, Manhattan City vigorously develops farmland reclamation and builds roads connecting Lake Ontario and Quebec.
The city of Lake Ontario is vigorously constructing residential buildings, streets and public health facilities.
Lake Ontario, Quebec, Manhattan, and even other developing cities all have one thing in common, that is, you cannot see a single person doing nothing in these cities.
Everyone has something to do, and there is no one who is not doing something.
Construction brought many job opportunities to various cities, which made the French and British in the empire very happy.
They are not afraid of doing things, they are afraid of having nothing to do.
Because you can make money by doing things, and after making money, you can support your family.
It¡¯s a very simple truth, isn¡¯t it?
The British in Pennsylvania and Virginia also took a fancy to the great development of the empire, and the population began to pour in.
¡°Neither Zhang Tie nor Song Hu will refuse these people who are looking for jobs.
¡°Many British people who go to Manhattan never want to go back to Pennsylvania or Virginia.
Because compared to these two areas, Manhattan is simply like paradise.
This made the administrators of the two regions very angry, but they were unable to do anything about it.
Because if this continues, the population of Virginia and Pennsylvania will all go to the Song Empire. And they will become mere officials, and when the time comes, what will they do to complete the taxation tasks assigned to them by the country?
¡°And the Song Empire is too powerful, which is not a good thing for them.
Many far-sighted officials could even foresee a scenario in which Pennsylvania and Virginia would be annexed by the Song Empire.
But even if some of them see this, they can't change anything.
Because they cannot provide so many job opportunities and offer such high wages to attract the British people.
Therefore, they are unable to prevent the exodus of people at all.
Of course, it¡¯s not like no one has ever mentioned a blockade to prevent people from going to the Song Empire to find jobs.
But such a proposal was rejected.
Only an idiot would agree to such a proposal. Even if you think about it, you know that if such a proposal is passed, the people will definitely be in trouble.
Therefore, the British in Pennsylvania and Virginia could only watch helplessly.
Zhang Tie, Manhattan¡¯s top chief executive, knows all of this.
For him, this situation is what he wants to see.
Because he knew that Pennsylvania and Virginia would have to be annexed by the Empire sooner or later. If a bloodless method could be adopted, that would be the best.
But how can we bring the two regions to their knees without bloodshed?
Economic war!
Yes, Zhang Tie thought of economic war.
First of all, people in this era do not have a clear concept of the country. Therefore, it goes without saying that they are loyal to their respective countries. This is out of the question.
This gives Zhang Tie an advantage in using economic warfare.
¡°If you have milk, you are a mother, and where you can make money, that is their motherland. This statement is not an exaggeration at all.
"Those who came to look for jobs, except for a small number who stayed in Manhattan, the rest were sent to Lake Ontario or Quebec. After all, more people were needed there.
In addition to givingIn addition to these people's job opportunities, the civilian "political commissars" of the Intelligence Department will also instill special ideas into the workers from time to time to brainwash them.
Therefore, these European people who entered the Song Empire basically regarded themselves as citizens of the Song Empire.
It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t gotten their citizenship documents yet, but they believe they can do it through their own efforts.
¡°And working in the Song Empire, they also enjoyed treatment that they had never had before.
The people here are friendly, full of hope and longing for tomorrow, and everyone is very motivated.
This is completely different from lifeless Europe, or Pennsylvania or Virginia.
Here, as long as you abide by the laws and regulations, you can get your own salary, which has not been deducted at all.
No one will cause trouble for you, so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor with peace of mind.
Working and living in the cities of the Song Empire was so comfortable.
There are no people who are squeezing themselves here, nor are there countless exorbitant taxes and levies. Every system will be made public for everyone to see clearly.
Even the boss they work for will post a notice showing the use of food expenses he invests every week to let them know that he is not deceiving everyone.
In the Song Empire, they truly felt that they were one person.
¡°Once people burst out with hope and vision, their energy and motivation are definitely beyond your imagination.
For such a phenomenon, Zhang Tie and the others are very happy to see it happen.
On the streets of Lake Ontario City, after the cylindrical wooden columns were erected, workers began to set up wires one after another.
Before officially taking up their posts, these workers will undergo surprise training at the ¡®Lanxiang Technical School¡¯ and will basically master the basic skills of the type of work they do.
Song Hu and a group of genetic soldiers were watching the work progress of the workers on the side of the construction site. He nodded with satisfaction when it came to an end.
"Sir, we can try to turn on the electricity in a moment. If successful, this will be a milestone for us."
His secretary smiled and complimented him.
"Is it a milestone? It's not like this. But with electricity, many things will become easier. This is a fact."
Song Hu squinted his eyes, watched the engineering staff connect the wires, and said to his secretary.
Unlike the development in Manhattan, Song Hu purchased a lot of limited-quantity equipment here. Although they were all dilapidated and abandoned equipment, in this era they were high-precision products.
For example, log saws, generators, he even built a small dam at a small waterfall and built a small hydroelectric power plant.
Although this power plant does not generate much electricity, it is still more than enough to supply the newly developed Lake Ontario City.
With a little bit, the electric saw can cut the logs faster, much faster than manual work.
In this way, the speed of building sea-going ships will be greatly increased.
And with lights, you can work at night, right?
Most importantly, in the coal mine outside Ontario Lake City, Song Hu purchased a set of automatic coal mining and transmission equipment through Chen Zhenbang in the virtual world. With this set of equipment, the amount of coal mined can be greatly increased.
These coals will continue to be sold to the virtual world through Song Hu¡¯s authority.
This is a very profitable business.
What¡¯s more, there is a large iron ore deposit nearby.
That thing is even more valuable.
It can be said that with electricity, we can start some modern equipment, and with electricity, we can increase production capacity.
All this is the beginning of a virtuous cycle.
"It's a pity that Song Hu's township chief's authority is too small. It would be better if his authority were increased.
The purchase limit of one billion yuan per month limits him.
If the restrictions were not too severe, Song Hu would even want to open up all gun manufacturing factories.
But it¡¯s impossible to raise billions of dollars each for that thing, and the current copycat research institutions don¡¯t support it.
??Don¡¯t look at the fact that he has purchased some equipment now, but he paid a high price through Chen Zhenbang.
And these equipment are still very old and belong to the category of being scrapped. At the same time, the purchase quantity is limited by the time and space trader.
"Inform the engineering staff and let's start powering on and try it out now."
After everything was ready, the secretary picked up the signal and was only three kilometers away.Seizing the opportunity, Song Hu's order was issued.
After transferring four or five people in succession, the order was finally issued to the small hydropower plant.
The dilapidated machine started to run, the intercepted water from the small waterfall began to pour down, and the electricity was transmitted.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Hey, it¡¯s light! Bright!
It¡¯s really magical!
The European and Indian workers all let out a sound of admiration as they watched the street lamps light up one by one.
"Keep the power transmission going for an hour. As long as there is no interruption, then we can try to run the coal mine machines in the afternoon." Song Hu said to the secretary beside him.
"What a great man." The secretary responded.
Song Hu continued: "I need data on machine loss, data on stored power, and data on loss during power transmission."
The secretary nodded repeatedly and wrote them down one by one.
"Let's go, I'm going to the lakeside port to have a look. I've got a boat here and I'm going to trial it today."
Song Hu led everyone away from the street construction site and came to the port on Lake Ontario that was still under construction.
Although the port is still under construction, a small part of it has been completed.
Song Hu walked into the nearby shipyard alone. After ordering the door to close, he contacted Chen Zhenbang through the time and space trader.
¡°Subsequently, in the dock, an iron ten-meter-long fishing boat that was common along the coast in later generations appeared out of thin air.
When this kind of fishing boat appeared, a smile appeared on Song Hu's face.
"Haha, if the scrapped fishing boats can be put to good use, they might not be able to control such a large sea area." (To be continued.
