- Song Hu thought happily for a long time, and at the same time recorded everything he thought in his notebook.
Afterwards, he looked at his notebook in a daze for a long time before slowly recovering.
It¡¯s really unexpected that after such a record, I found that I have so many things to do. It¡¯s really unimaginable. I thought I could relax a little bit.
Song Hu looked at the records in his notebook and said to himself.
Yes, he was memorizing it just now while thinking about it, and he quickly memorized many pages.
Now when I look back at it, it doesn¡¯t seem like too much.
But no matter what, I have to do all the things recorded in the notebook.
And, there can be no delay at all.
There is no rush to lay the railway. After all, we have to wait for a letter from Chen Zhenbang.
¡°But we can still start preparations now to start animal husbandry here in Ontario City.
It is winter now. Compared with the temperature in the Great Lakes region of Canada, although it is also very low, it is relatively warmer.
Coupled with the abundant water resources in the surrounding area, many reindeer and elk from far away Canada will migrate here during this season to find suitable places to survive.
There have been many reindeer or elk herds near Ontario City in the past few days, and the number is so large that there are tens of thousands of them.
And along with these elk and reindeer coming to this area, there are also many carnivorous animals.
For example, Alaskan wolves, North American coyotes, brown bears
Fortunately, these carnivores have abundant food sources, plus Ontario has a large population.
Therefore, these carnivorous animals dare not approach the city and do not bring any trouble to the safety of the city.
?? Wild animals are rarely seen in later generations and in the virtual world.
?That is, it only exists here in America.
After all, Europeans are very aware of environmental protection. It will come earlier than China.
?Coupled with the era I am in now.
Song Hu stood up, walked to the window and opened it.
The hot air in the room quickly flowed from the window, and the temperature of the room quickly dropped.
It¡¯s already a world covered in snow outside, and this year¡¯s snowfall seems to be even heavier than last year¡¯s.
The snow was thigh-deep and it was very difficult for people to move around in it.
Fortunately, there are people who specialize in snow plowing in Ontario. They have already cleaned up the snow on the streets in the city.
And residents and merchants in the city will also consciously clear the snow in front of their homes.
Therefore, compared to the outside of the city, the city of Ontario was not affected by the heavy snow.
It¡¯s about three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Everyone is still working on the construction site or in the factory or mine.
Therefore, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
??Here in Ontario, like Quebec and Manhattan, there are almost no idle people.
In these three cities, idlers who have nothing to do will be despised by everyone.
Of course, there are exceptions for Chinese-origin gentlemen or government officials.
After all, their identity and status are different from others.
Therefore, we cannot compare them with ourselves.
but. There were still some pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street.
Most of these people are citizens of Indian descent. They are wearing green military coats or black cotton-padded clothes that were worn in the northeastern rural areas before liberation. Carrying half a reindeer or a few pheasants.
These game meats are hunted from outside the city, and they usually sell them to restaurants in the city or enjoy them themselves.
And when some Europeans who were out on business on the street met Indians who had returned from hunting, they would stop them to ask if their prey would be sold.
If the price is right. The transaction can be done on the spot once both parties have reached an agreement.
In the eyes of the Indians, the prey they catch is large enough that even they and their whole family cannot finish it. Why not use it to exchange for some money to buy other things.
¡° Europeans, on the other hand, are too lazy to hunt outside the city because their work pays well.
At the same time, on the street, there were some vendors pushing carts selling vegetables. The carts they pushed were covered with a thick quilt to prevent the vegetables from being frozen.
Because it is winter at this time, it is wholesale from ManhattanThe price of greenhouse vegetables is a bit more expensive.
But because they can eat some fresh vegetables in winter, people are still willing to pay for them.
Therefore, the income of these vegetable vendors who sell vegetables on the street is not bad.
Of course, sometimes you will encounter Indians who are willing to exchange some game for these vegetables, and these vegetable vendors will also agree.
On the streets of Ontario City, the main roads are all laid with rails. The train brought from the children's playground dragged twenty carriages behind it, clanging forward.
Some carts pulled by two horses also appeared on the street.
Behind these carriages, there is a long carriage.
Nowadays, here in Ontario City, outside of the city¡¯s railway tracks, there is also this convenient and fast horse-drawn carriage.
You can get on the bus with just a few copper coins, and it¡¯s very convenient to get started and stop.
Unlike the rail car, you have to arrive at the station before you can get off.
Of course, the horse-drawn carriage cannot compare in terms of speed.
Therefore, people will choose the means of transportation when traveling according to their own needs.
¡°Is this the style of Europe in the 19th century, or the style of China in the 1940s and 1950s?
Song Hu stood by the window, looking at the street outside and muttering to himself.
In fact, this city has completely changed since its development.
This kind of architectural pattern that contains the East within the West, and the West within the East, has turned the entire city into something neither Chinese nor foreign.
In Song Hu¡¯s eyes, this looked very strange.
Simply put, this city is a hodgepodge.
Song Hu¡¯s residence is a courtyard-style building. The entire courtyard has six courtyards and covers a large area.
But outside Song Hu¡¯s residence, there is indeed a four-story government building made of stones. Its style is completely based on the Sifang architecture of later generations.
But opposite them, there is a two-story Gothic building and a turret from the Ming and Qing Dynasties next to it.
Although there are many types of buildings, this can be regarded as a style of Ontario City.
Although it looks awkward now. But it might become a tourist attraction hundreds of years from now.
Of course, the premise is that these buildings can be preserved for three hundred years.
The streets of Ontario City are very spacious, and two or four horse-drawn carriages can travel side by side at the same time without feeling crowded at all.
The reason why the road is made so big is because Professor Liu, the city¡¯s chief planner, took into account the speed of development and the cars that may appear in the future.
Therefore, at the beginning of the planning, he required that the streets in the city must be very large.
?According to Professor Liu, in later generations (virtual world), there are often traffic jams in the Chinese capital. The reason is that this issue was not considered during the original planning.
So, if there is a problem now, it cannot be solved.
Because they can¡¯t knock down all the houses and expand the roads.
The governors of Ontario City cannot make such a mistake, so the roads must be made wider.
Anyway, there is a lot of land here in Ontario City, and the city is still under preliminary construction.
So, these things are easy to talk about.
This is better than remembering it when you encounter such trouble in the future but not being able to solve it.
In this way, the streets in Ontario City have become the widest among the three cities.
And the people who live here. I'm still a little used to the fact that every street in the city is so wide.
Wearing black cotton coats and cotton hats, the Asan patrol team appeared. They were vigilantly observing the pedestrians on the street. If anyone looks a bit amiss, they will gather around to investigate.
Of course, the ones they inquire about the most are the small traders.
Song Hu stood in front of the window and used a monocular to see that some vendors would take some money out of their pockets. Put it in the hands of these Asan patrol officers.
Then, these Asan patrol officers would leave with a satisfied look on their faces.
Song Hu has not discovered this situation once or twice.
but. He had no intention of stopping it.
Because Song Hu knows that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it is within a reasonable range and does not affect the security of the empire, he will not object to these Ah Sans generating income.
And because you can ping oneIf you leave those Europeans behind, the work enthusiasm of these Ah Sans will be greatly improved.
This is a good thing for Song Hu.
¡°Besides, these Asan are very smart, and the guys they picked are basically Europeans.
??Citizens of Indian origin and Chinese origin, even Gurkhas and Somali blacks, they will not go to table tennis.
And even if they go to table tennis, these people will not look good on them, and will even beat them up.
Ah San also understands the principle of pinching persimmons softly.
So, Song Hu is also happy for these Asans to bully those Europeans.
Dividing line
"Hurry up and work, you lazy fools. You can't complete today's tasks. You won't have anything to eat at noon, you know?"
Outside Manhattan, in a busy road construction site, tens of thousands of European prisoners are working hard here.
These people were all wearing heavy shackles, and they were in groups of twenty, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.
These prisoners include pirates who were defeated in the summer, but most of them are prisoners that Zhao Hongyu bought back from Europe.
After they were transported to America, they were immediately escorted to three major cities and put into hard and arduous work.
Here, you can see the prisoners walking past in groups, their faces staggering and numb, with no hope for life at all.
Countless European overseers waved their whips from time to time and hit those lazy guys hard, not showing mercy at all because they were their compatriots.
To those European overseers, these prisoners are no longer their compatriots. They are just living puppets, thoughtless labor machines.
On this continent, they are just scum.
Only those men with black hair and black eyes are the most noble.
¡°And my salary is also linked to the characters. If these guys fail to complete the characters, they will also be punished.
Under such circumstances, how could these European supervisors not be ruthless?
There is no one who can¡¯t get along with money, right?
In history, many times it is compatriots who are the most cruel to their compatriots.
This has been proven countless times in history.
It is precisely because of this that Song Hu and Zhang Tie assigned many Europeans to serve as supervisors at various construction sites.
"And these European supervisors have indeed satisfied the Chinese masters, and their work is very outstanding.
"Mr. Barr, we really have no strength. Let us take a rest. We will finish today's workload after lunch. Please."
"A prison worker with an iron hoop around his neck and shackles on his hands and feet begged.
The look on his face shows that he has a bad influence at first glance.
At the same time, in such cold weather, he was only wearing a thin cotton coat, and the cotton with holes everywhere on it had long since disappeared.
His lips were blue and chapped from the cold.
His hands and feet were also covered with frostbite, and he looked very miserable.
The whole group of prisoners stopped because of his begging, and everyone looked at him.
On their shoulders, they also carried a log of medium size.
The guy named Barr is a British laborer. Because of his outstanding work, he was recommended to work as a supervisor at the construction site, and his salary was twice as much as before.
And what he has to do is to watch over these prisoner workers and make them complete their assigned work on time every day.
Strictly speaking, this job is very easy and makes a lot of money.
Therefore, Barr always thought that this was because he was lucky.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that he knows a Chinese gentleman and flatters him very much.
Snapped!
The whip struck the pleading prisoner hard on the back, leaving a deep bloody mark on his back.
Because the blood stain was not revealed due to the cover of the clothes, the guy who got whipped knew it deeply.
Ouch!
The guy wailed and then fell to the ground.
But because of his relationship, the entire team lost focus and was thrown into chaos by him.
After all??Everyone has iron hoops around their necks, and their hand and foot shackles are strung together by a thick iron chain. Therefore, if one guy moves too much, it will definitely affect the others.
Plop!
With a muffled sound, the original on the big guy's shoulders fell to the ground.
Barr raised his eyebrows, a ferocious look on his face.
"Jason, you are the laziest guy in the whole team. Everyone will be punished every day because of you, and I will also be scolded by the general manager. Are you going to cause trouble again today!"
Barr was so angry that he kept waving the whip in his hand and cracking it. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
