- After reaching an agreement with Chen Zhenbang, Song Hu exchanged a few words with him and then withdrew.
¡°After all, there is a living person hiding in the quilt behind Chen Zhenbang, isn¡¯t it?
After exiting the virtual world of the Space-Time Trader, Song Hu closed the system. He sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and meditated.
Railroad construction is about to begin, but his authority can only control one billion yuan a month.
And this one billion yuan of funds also includes urban construction, the cultivation of Chinese genetic people, and other facility planning. Therefore, it seems like a lot of funds, but in fact it is far from enough.
Song Hu had no choice about this.
Who allowed him to have such great authority?
It would be nice if the authority were larger and the amount of money that could be controlled was larger.
Song Hu sighed deeply.
But he can't control this thing. Only after Zhao Hongyu's administrative level is upgraded can he increase the corresponding authority here.
So, he can only complain here.
It seems that boiler-powered wooden boats are no longer viable.
This thing is too cheating. Because the technology I have now is not good enough, it will always cause the hull to overheat and catch fire. Therefore, this kind of ship cannot be manufactured and promoted in large quantities.
At present, sailboats are still a popular thing in the empire.
Although iron fishing boats can be purchased, they also have considerable flaws in terms of price and use.
Because they are almost scrapped, they often break down at sea, or even the engine breaks down.
This gave Song Hu a headache.
But it was precisely thanks to the scrapped iron fishing boats that the pirates were defeated in the summer.
But since they discovered the shortcomings of the iron fishing boats, these iron fishing boats have been regarded as secret weapons and can only be used at critical times.
This made Song Hu deeply disappointed.
Fortunately, he came up with a low-quality copycat rocket launcher this year. This thing is used in the navy or the army, and it is a powerful weapon.
Compared with heavy artillery, this disposable copycat rocket launcher is easier to carry. It is very convenient to use.
It¡¯s just that it¡¯s time-consuming to manufacture, so it¡¯s currently impossible to equip the navy and army on a large scale.
?? If what Wang Shan is really satisfied with this year is the small hydropower station and the set of coal mining equipment he got.
With these equipment, coal mine excavation has undergone earth-shaking changes. Compared with manual excavation, it is really faster.
With just the coal mine near Ontario City, Song Hu can ensure that Quebec, Manhattan and his own side will have enough fuel to stay warm in the winter.
It¡¯s just that considering that transportation is not very convenient now, the prepared briquettes can only be transported to these two cities by manpower or through caravans.
With good coke, Song Hu was thinking about building another small thermal power plant. In preparation for next year, we will prepare more electricity to prepare some factories.
At the same time, Ontario cities have also begun to use electric lights.
So, every night, when the street lights are on, people will go to the streets and marvel at the street lights. Nowadays, the street lights in Ontario City have become a scenery of the entire city at night.
At the same time, although the land in Ontario City has not yet been fully developed. But with the rich freshwater fishery resources, people's lives are quite prosperous.
People working in mines and construction sites, with their generous salaries, can also buy slightly more expensive Manhattan grains and vegetables. Even fur products from Quebec.
According to Song Hu¡¯s idea, he plans to build Ontario City into a heavily industrialized city. In the future, all the iron products produced and used by the empire will flow out of this city.
The blacksmith shop in Ontario City. There are also shipyards, which are more numerous than those in Manhattan and Quebec.
After all, here in Ontario City. There is a huge iron ore mine.
You know, in later generations, the iron ore produced here accounted for a large part of the world.
??Especially, the Automobile City in the United States was built here because of the iron ore here.
In this era, the abundance of iron ore resources is also related to the lifeblood of a country.
Compared to gold and silver, iron ore is also very important.
After all, in this era, whether it is the West or the East?, cold and still mainstream.
The tools people use are more or less inseparable from iron products.
Especially, it can be seen how important it is to own an iron mine.
Fortunately, the American continent is rich in mineral resources, including iron ore, gold ore and even silver ore.
Especially here in Ontario, in addition to easily mined coal mines, iron ore also contains rich reserves. There are also a large area of ??silver mines and copper mines, the variety of which is staggeringly rich.
In addition, because the Great Lakes region has freshwater resources, there are also a lot of wild animals living nearby.
Therefore, people living here in Ontario are not short of food and vegetables, but they are not short of meat at all.
Especially, you can fish from Lake Ontario to supplement the protein needed by the human body.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
Nowadays, there are many caravans traveling between the three cities. In addition to bringing some daily necessities, they will also bring a lot of food and vegetables produced in Manhattan.
This is very rare in winter.
Although there are only a few types of vegetables, they are just potatoes, carrots, green radishes, and some sauerkraut, but even this is enough to surprise people.
You know, before Zhao Hongyu and others appeared, Indians and even European people rarely ate green vegetables in winter.
¡°And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law in Manhattan followed Zhao Hongyu¡¯s suggestion and started building a greenhouse.
You can also grow some vegetables in winter.
Especially the fungus grown in the greenhouse is welcomed by everyone.
Although the price is much more expensive, everyone doesn¡¯t mind spending a little money in order to taste something new in winter.
¡°Besides, the salaries of various jobs in the empire are very generous, and it is perfectly possible for everyone to indulge in luxury once in a while.
Ontario City is positioned for heavy industry, while Manhattan is positioned for agriculture, commerce and animal husbandry.
Quebec is a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, each with its own development goals.
After thinking about it for a while, Song Hu felt that he should reclaim some land next year to grow some food.
Even if the food is enough for the empire, it can still be sold to the space-time trader.
In the past few years, Manhattan has had a lot of food, which was sold through the time and space trader.
¡°I heard from Zhang Tie that this kind of food and vegetables, which are free from pollution and pesticides, are actually more than three times the size of ordinary rice.
This is also a way to make money.
Besides, the natural ecological environment here in America is very good, and there are many wild fungi in the dense and vast forests.
¡°This thing can be sold for a lot of money in future generations.
If you give up on such a way of making money, wouldn't it be a fool's errand?
And there are abundant wild animal resources here, so you can make good use of them.
For example, animals such as reindeer or elk, as well as wild boar.
If you can organize your own manpower and build a breeding farm, then the annual income that these wild animals can bring after being domesticated will also be very good.
After all, they have advantages that no other country in the world has.
Even if the measured materials produced cannot be sold abroad, they can still be sold into the space-time trader.
You must know that the population of the virtual world connected to the space-time trader is three times larger than that of the real world in later generations, so the gap in food is quite large.
Especially here in China, there is a bigger gap in the consumption of wild animals.
It is normal for the price of wild animal meat to be four to five times higher than that of ordinary humans.
Therefore, it is a good idea to raise wild animals in captivity yourself.
Song Hu thought of this, took out his notebook and started taking notes.
He plans to start implementing these plans after the New Year.
After all, although the American continent is now rich in wild animal resources, if the killing continues without control, these animals will become extinct in a few years.
You must know that in the history without their existence, there were no large cities in the entire America during this era (the Mayans are not counted), and the total population of the British, French and Spanish colonies was not much.
¡°But look at it now, there are more than 300,000 genetic people of Chinese descent in the American continent alone, not counting genetic people of other species.
At the same time, the IndianThe addition of ?? has increased the urban population.
Now the population of Ontario City has exceeded 600,000. Because Quebec was a French colony earlier, most of them are French. But even after adding some British workers and Indians, it has exceeded 300,000. People mark.
Not to mention Manhattan, because it was the earliest city established.
In addition, it is also the most attractive to Europeans, so Manhattan has begun to develop towards 1 million people.
The total population of these three cities is almost 2 million, which is a very huge number.
Of course, this so-called hugeness is relative to the European urban population of this era.
If compared to cities in the East, this is still incomparable.
And Song Hu has not yet counted the other five developing cities. According to Song Hu¡¯s contacts with these people, the smallest of the other five cities has a population of 30,000, and the largest has exceeded the 100,000 mark.
It can be seen that in the next two years, the population of these five cities will also grow on a large scale.
As the population grows, the demand for many things will increase, and at the same time, the homes of wild animals will be destroyed.
Therefore, Song Hu considered taking advantage of the opportunity to catch some wild animals and tame them to open up a way for himself to make money.
