- America, Manhattan.
Zhao Hongyu has led the fleet to the east and has been away from America for almost five months.
In the five months since he left, development here in America has been very smooth.
Manhattan under Zhang Tie¡¯s control has changed a lot compared to when he left.
This change mainly comes from streets and public facilities.
There are basic residential houses and some buildings, but not much has changed.
Because the city¡¯s future population growth was taken into consideration, Zhang Tie planned the city¡¯s main public facilities.
For example, schools, sewage treatment pipes, roads and urban rail transit.
Because of the opening of urban rail transit, it has greatly made people travel more convenient.
And the urban facilities here in Manhattan shocked the Europeans who came here.
After all, science in Europe in this era has not yet made great progress. What is popular there now is still theology and some disciplines under the control of the church.
Science is something that European churches severely suppress.
After all, if people know too much, how can they control the ignorant people?
You know, those ordinary people in Europe are the source of their wealth.
However, all those businessmen who have been to the Americas will always tell people in Europe what happened in the Americas when they return to Europe.
Therefore, America is full of mystery to Europeans who have never been there.
Coupled with the relaxed, beautiful and non-oppressive environment here, the European people who have been plunged into war and tortured are very yearning for it.
For Europeans of this era, the Song Empire is like the country of USA that Chinese people yearn for in the 21st century, and it is even more attractive than it.
With low tax rates, everyone can have a good life through hard work without having to worry about going hungry. This is something Europeans dare not think about.
Even many Europeans believe that such a country can only appear in heaven.
Those businessmen are just bragging.
But one fact is that basically no European who fled Europe and came to the Americas was willing to go back.
As soon as they come to Manhattan, they will immediately be attracted to this country.
Therefore, there are many stranded people in Manhattan, who are called "black households" in later generations.
These people include sailors who accompany ships and bankrupt farmers.
¡°You can make more money finding a job here in Manhattan than working on a boat or farming at home.
Although the consumption here in Manhattan is also very high, as long as you have a job, there is absolutely no problem in supporting yourself or your family.
Because the commercial bee honey here in Manhattan is very popular in Europe and the Arab world, and even some uncivilized chiefs in Africa.
Therefore, more and more merchant ships are crossing the ocean and coming to Manhattan in the Americas to do ocean-going trade.
Because more and more merchant ships are coming and going, this has also led to the development and job opportunities of Manhattan.
Especially at the dock, tens of thousands of people work here every day, loading and unloading goods.
In the five months since Zhao Hongyu left, the pier in Manhattan has been widened a lot. Now the pier in Manhattan can basically dock a hundred ocean-going ships at the same time. It can be said to be the largest port.
Even so, there are still not enough berths in the port.
On the outer sea, there are many ships waiting to enter the port.
Faced with such business prosperity, Zhang Tie is of course very happy.
Now the commercial exports of the American Song Empire have slowly expanded from simple animal furs and ironware to daily necessities and daily consumables.
Various counterfeit goods from the 21st century have flooded the European continent.
However, it may be because the products come from China in the virtual world, so the quality of these copycat products is not that good.
For example, let¡¯s take the ¡®canned meat¡¯, a kind of food that is popular on European ocean-going ships during the voyage. This thing is a very deceptive item.
This kind of junk food is absolutely impossible to have a big market in the 21st century.
And in the 21st century, the quality of this stuff is also very poor.
But it was this kind of commodity that was favored and sought after by sailors and ocean-going traders in the seventeenth century.
&nbThe reason is simple. This thing can be stored for a long time and can be used as a food reserve in the ocean.
Compared with those foods that are prone to mold, this thing is good news for them.
Therefore, after Zhang Tie purchased a batch of these junk iron cans from Chen Zhenbang, they were immediately popular after being put into the market. The supply was simply in short supply.
No matter how junk food is in the 21st century, it still tastes very good.
Some European businessmen even regarded this kind of can as a luxury product and gift, and brought it to Europe to give away.
Suddenly, this kind of can became popular on the European continent.
??Especially when some gatherings are held in the homes of some minor nobles and lords, you will be embarrassed to see people if you don't put out such a small amount of tin cans.
And it tastes really good, so everyone is flocking to it.
Of course, some people also see the greater advantages of this can.
That is, it can be used in the military.
Because this kind of can is easy to carry and very convenient to eat.
Therefore, if every soldier carries these cans during battle, the logistical pressure will basically be reduced a lot.
Therefore, Portugal and France sent people to the Americas to specially order this kind of cans and put them into the army.
And when the soldiers ate this kind of canned food, they also thought it was very good.
At the very least, this kind of can is said to be ¡®full of meat¡¯.
¡°When everyone thinks about the country providing them with meat, how can they not be grateful in their hearts?
You will be more energetic when fighting.
Today, Europe is in chaos, and war has swept through countries across the continent.
Basically, due to the impact of the war, the land was deserted.
"Without people cultivating the land, the country will have no food. How can we fight without food?"
Portugal and France were allies with the American Song Empire, so the Song Empire began to loan Portugal and France, and this loan was used by the two countries to purchase some urgently needed supplies in America.
It can be said that this is completely a matter of switching from the left hand to the right hand.
Furthermore, a series of contracts were signed, and the Song Empire reaped great benefits.
Not only Portugal and France, but also the church groups, the Dutch and the British, who had already been at odds with the Song Empire, also found some agents to come to the Song Empire to buy these tin cans and put them into the army.
There is no way, there is a shortage of food in Europe now.
If there is no food, no one will be able to fight, and the army will collapse.
The Song Empire, on the other hand, took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
For those agents, of course the empire turned a blind eye and ignored them, pretending that they knew nothing.
After all, the price of these materials sold to the other party is much higher than usual.
¡°Besides, even if you don¡¯t sell it to them, there will be a large number of smugglers who will do it.
Therefore, if you don¡¯t make this money, you won¡¯t make it in vain.
It¡¯s just that everyone doesn¡¯t know that this kind of canned food is really a scam.
First of all, this kind of can comes from a small black workshop in the suburbs of a third-tier city in China in the virtual century. The legal person of this factory is Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law.
Because they were familiar with Zhao Hongyu, and Zhang Tie and the others would also contact Chen Zhenbang to buy some copycat products, Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law saw business opportunities.
At first, Zhao Hongyu and others deceived Chen Zhenbang, saying that the goods purchased from him were basically sold to third world countries. Therefore, Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law believed that the gangsters there were too rich and stupid to make money.
¡°Moreover, Zhao Hongyu and his gang are very capable there.
Any kind of counterfeit goods can be sold.
Then, you can also find a business opportunity and make a fortune by taking advantage of it.
Finally, after much deliberation, this guy invested a small amount of money to build a small canning workshop.
After some encouragement from him, the products of this small workshop were actually produced.
It¡¯s just that the quality of this can cannot be complimented.
In order to pursue high profits, when this guy made cans, some of the meat he used was dead pork, dead cats, dead mice, and spoiled pig waste.
In order to improve the taste and quality, I don¡¯t know how much preservatives were added to this canagents, as well as various chemical additives.
This makes the canned food look good and taste very delicious.
And, there is a lot of waste oil in this can.
Therefore, the canned food looks oily, which is very popular.
Zhang Tiena was quite complaining and contemptuous of this guy's actions.
However, because it was related to his relationship with Chen Zhenbang, Zhang Tie held his nose and subscribed for a batch of cans, and promised to sell them to Africa on his behalf.
In fact, Zhang Tie¡¯s original plan was very simple, just order a batch a month, order the cans and then throw them into the sea.
He is very aware of the quality of these cans, but he doesn¡¯t dare to sell them on the American continent for fear that people will get sick after eating them.
However, I don¡¯t know how it happened, but these cans were put on the market before they had time to be processed.
This is also because of a small oversight by the subordinates.
¡°However, no one expected that the response to this can was very popular after it was put into the market.
Not only did the Europeans eat it with no problem, they even said it was delicious.
???????????????? I¡¯m going to do it, if I don¡¯t make a lot of money, then I¡¯ll really feel sorry for these mortals.
In this way, these black-hearted cans began to be sold in large quantities to Europe as a flagship product. Even some Europeans living on the American continent also bought some toothpastes from time to time.
Zhang Tie doesn¡¯t understand why Europeans eat this stuff without any problems. Is it possible that their bellies are made of iron?
He was very confused about this.
In fact, Zhang Tie, who is also not obedient, does not understand that there is a shortage of food in Europe at this time.
Therefore, Europeans have developed a habit of eating whatever is available, even if it has spoiled.
So, they have developed a good appetite since they were young.
For them, this can is simply a piece of cake, and there will be no problem at all.
Europeans don¡¯t know that they believe that if ordinary Chinese people in later generations eat these black-hearted cans from the Americas, they will suffer from food poisoning in mild cases and diarrhea and collapse in severe cases.
But in any case, this kind of black-hearted canned food opened up sales in Europe. Although it was not expensive, the empire still made a lot of money.
In the virtual world, Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law also made a real profit, which made him very happy.
At the same time, he also became a stable supplier of black-hearted cans.
¡°In addition, his brother-in-law Chen Zhenbang has now been promoted to become a leader in the city, so his small black-hearted workshop is very safe and is not afraid of investigation at all.
Although Zhang Tie made money, he certainly did not forget to cultivate Chinese genetic people.
At the same time, we also invest in some commodity technologies from time to time.
It¡¯s just that investing in this thing is so cheating, and it basically fails every time.
Therefore, this made Zhang Tie very disappointed.
When Zhao Hongyu left, it was midsummer in June. Now five months have passed, and it has entered late autumn in America.
People living in the Americas all wore Chinese military green coats and jackets in the 1970s, which were very popular in Manhattan.
If there were modern people who came to the Americas at this time, they might think that they had suddenly arrived in a Chinese city in the 1960s.
Unlike the sailors and merchants on the dock, anyone living here can tell them apart at a glance.
Because on their faces, you can see smiles, expectations for future life, hope, and longing.
There is absolutely no numbness and despair like Europeans.
¡°Moreover, the clothes worn by those in Europe are still in the style of this era.
It can be said that after living in Manhattan for a period of time, people¡¯s aesthetics will also change.
At this time, Zhang Tie, wearing a dark blue Zhongshan work uniform, appeared at the dock with a group of his subordinates.
Basically, all civil servants in Manhattan are dressed like this.
Only those in the military will wear party uniforms.
The reason for doing this is actually very simple. It is to attract young people to join the army and serve the empire.
Whether the military uniform is beautiful or not is also a factor in whether it is attractive.
Zhang Tie did not object to this at all.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯sThe old father-in-law, also wearing a dark blue Zhongshan work suit, followed Zhang Tie to the dock.
The two of them looked at the busy pier and the people coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, just over two years ago, this place was still a deserted land.
But looking at it now, it has become so prosperous that it feels like a dream.
On the berth, a merchant ship slowly left its post, and then a sea-going ship with a different style from European ships and a flag with a crescent moon and stars pattern on it parked at the vacated berth.
Zhang Tie and Zhao Hongyu¡¯s father-in-law, Black Bear, looked at each other and then walked towards the ship. (To be continued.
