Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Time flies, and the years are like songs.

    In the blink of an eye, it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter.

    The British colonies on the American continent have now completely fallen under the control of the Song Empire. Except for the captured original British colonists, those who were lucky enough not to be captured have been driven to the sea.

    At this point, the British tentacles have been completely uprooted.

    After Pennsylvania and Virginia fell into the control of the Song Empire, Zhao Hongyu still used the British names, changed the two areas to "states", and included them in the imperial territory.

    Those captured British colonists, because they were die-hards, Zhao Hongyu would not try to change them.

    Since you are stubborn, let's fight to the end. Zhao Hongyu sent them all to the prisoner camp for road construction to do hard labor.

    Anyway, we need a lot of manpower over there, and these prisoners come in handy.

    Now, Song Hu and Zhang Tie are building a wide "highway". After this road is completed, it will connect Quebec, Ontario City and Manhattan City, connecting the three cities together to form a triangle.

    With this road, freight and other things will become faster.

    Ontario¡¯s coal and metal ores can be transported quickly and continuously to Manhattan.

    ??The wood and fur in the Quebec area can also be transported to the other two cities.

    As the most populous city, Manhattan can easily receive supplies from the two cities, and transport the city's food, vegetables, and beef and mutton to Ontario City and Quebec.

    As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

    "Zhang Tie and Song Hu did not want to get rich, they built roads for convenience.

    You must know that in this era, it can be said that there is no way.

    Therefore, traveling between the three cities is very inconvenient.

    But with this path, everything will become much simpler.

    and then.  It can also increase population mobility.

    People can easily travel between the three cities, and it can even drive the economy between the three places.

    ??Besides, once there is a road, if something happens, you can also transport troops quickly through this road.

    In fact, strictly speaking, road construction is also for military reasons.

    But no matter what, if there is such a way, the advantages will always outweigh the disadvantages.

    The weather is going well this year, and Manhattan has a bumper harvest.

    Vegetables and grains planted in spring.  There was a good harvest in autumn.

    In addition to keeping food for himself, there are even three hundred tons of extra grain in the warehouse.

    This kind of food is pure green, pollution-free, and does not contain any pesticides.

    After checking through the space-time trader, the price of this kind of food and vegetables in the space-time trader is three times higher than that of ordinary vegetables and food.

    This makes Zhao Hongyu very excited, because he has long thought that agriculture is a promising business, and now the price in the space-time trader has truly verified his idea.

    You know, only 1% of the land on Manhattan Island has been reclaimed.  There is still a large area of ??land that is not utilized.

    This year¡¯s agriculture only utilized a small part of the land.

    Most of the time is spent cultivating farmland.

    ??Similarly, farmland near Manhattan.  Nor has it been exploited.

    ¡°After all, this is the year Zhao Hongyu has just started to show some improvement, and everything will look like the spring of next year.

    There are now a full 150,000 acres of recorded land in Manhattan.

    This was only temporarily reclaimed this year.

    If we fully develop agriculture, we can cultivate at least four times or even six times the amount of land in a year.

    After all, the population is too small.

    Even if you buy slaves.  But it is not enough in human hands.

    The commerce in Manhattan is very developed. Since people can make money by doing small business, who is willing to work hard to plow the fields.

    Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu distributed some land.  It was given to the Chinese genetic people as a private farm.

    ??The Chinese genetic men who became farm owners started agriculture for the sake of their own wealth and land, so as not to let the land go to waste.

    And the black bears on Manhattan Island are also farming with the Mohicans.

    Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu would not be able to eat the food he grew this year.

    ? ?However, since harvesting these grains in autumn, Zhao Hongyu said goodbye to the era of eating old rice.

    And there are more ingredients that can be enjoyed in winter.

    The Mohicans on Manhattan Island also benefit from the benefits brought by animal husbandry.

    Beef and mutton are in endless supply in Manhattan, and people consume a lot of meat.

    Horses are specially purchased by the military, so they are not afraid of losing money if they are kept free.

    Pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. are also in great demand.

    It can be said that the Mohicans have entered a well-off life ahead of schedule under the leadership of Black Bear and the arrangement of Zhao Hongyu.

    You know, the people with the most comfortable life in Manhattan are the genetic people of Chinese descent, because they either work in government departments, own their own commercial stores, or are farmers who own large tracts of farmland.

    Every month, the amount of money earned by Huaxia Gene people is not a fraction.

    Of course, nobles with black hair and black eyes are known to everyone in the Song Empire as masters and are first-class people.

    Although the citizens of the Song Empire were not divided into classes, the European silkworms who came to work here tacitly accepted the rule that the Song Empire had classes.

    The first class is the black-haired men.

    The second class consists of old Somali blacks who look like black slaves, as well as the Gurkhas and Indians who are unsmiling but murderous.

    ??And Somali blacks are not the same as black slaves, so they cannot be confused.

    At the same time, the Indians respect the Mohicans.

    The third class is the guys who are called Asans by Chinese gentlemen. These guys with their heads wrapped in cloth are the most annoying people in the empire. However, they are good at flattering, so they are among the European prostitutes.  Ability glared.

    There are also Europeans who have passed the Empire¡¯s Immigration Bureau application and officially become citizens of the Empire.

    For this kind of guy, everyone looks at him with envy, jealousy and hatred.

    The fourth class is the Europeans who come to work.

    These four classes are the classes that the Europeans who came to work here divided themselves and defaulted to.

    ??Here, apart from the Huxia people, the Mohican people became the first group of people to get rich.

    As Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, he is pleased with the prosperity of his tribe. Of course, he has not forgotten to brainwash the tribesmen all the time.

    Therefore, what he often talks about is to thank the Crown Prince of the Empire, "Black Eyes", and the Queen of the Indian Tribe of the Empire, Emma. They are the two of them who have brought everyone such a prosperous life.

    Black bears do this for a reason.

    Because he knew very well that the Mohicans were able to get such great benefits just for the sake of his daughter Emma. At the same time, the empire also needed to use the Mohicans as an example to inspire the enthusiasm of other Indians.

    After all, the Mohicans are no longer a simple tribe. With the support of the empire, many Indians from other tribes have joined the Mohicans under force and become Mohicans.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu must let the Mohicans who first followed him have dazzling wealth.

    This way we can let those people know that there is nothing wrong with following him.

    It is precisely because he knows this that Black Bear always talks about the benefits of the empire.

    And he also has selfish motives.

    Zhao Hongyu had promised him that when he and his daughter¡¯s first boy was born, he would become the king of this land.

    This kid has Mohican blood running through him.

    So, Black Bear thinks he is thinking about the Mohicans and his grandchildren, so he is very happy to do this kind of thing.

    Under his propaganda and leadership, the original Mohicans were really determined to be with the empire.

    It can be said that if someone speaks ill of the empire in front of them, they will wave the knife at the next moment.

    Although those guys who later integrated into the empire and joined the Mohicans as their tribe were not as loyal as the original Mohicans like Black Bear, their loyalty to the Song Empire was not low either.

    The reason is very simple, because the empire does not discriminate against them, and the empire gives them all the benefits they deserve.

    As the saying goes, give a peach and repay a plum.

    The hearts of Indians are also grown from flesh.

    ¡°Besides, almost all the children in these Indian families are required to go to school.

    In school, those children learn??They are basically brainwashing courses.

    "When these children return home from school, under their influence, can their parents and family members still have a lower opinion of the empire?"

    Zhao Hongyu and the others had already predicted that basically the next generation of Indians would become real citizens of the empire.

    The big deal is that there are more ethnic groups in the empire, which is nothing special.

    You must know that in later generations, there will be fifty-six ethnic groups in the Chinese Empire, right?

    It is also true that Indian children go to school, so those who work in various shops in Manhattan are basically European children.

    Regarding child labor, Zhao Hongyu did not stop it.

    Because these European children also need to eat and live. If they don't do anything, they will starve to death.

    Most of these children are fatherless and motherless.

    Their parents died for various reasons, leaving them to suffer in the world.

    "Zhao Hongyu is not a philanthropist, and there is no way he can feed these children.

    "However, it is not difficult to give them a way to survive and let them rely on their own abilities to find food.

    ¡°Anyone who has the hands and feet to do things and is willing to work here in Manhattan will not starve to death.

    ¡°Hotel waiters, delivering food in restaurants, running errands for people, shining shoes, these jobs that don¡¯t require much physical strength but don¡¯t make much money can be done by children.
