Because of the news from Zhao Hongyu, Zhang Tie became worried about His Highness's trip in the East. Unfortunately, due to the great distance, Zhang Tie felt that he was quite powerless in facing the danger that His Highness was about to face.
However, even when Zhang Tie faced this situation, he felt that he should do something.
Although Manhattan is not as vigorously developing heavy industry and minerals as Song Hu's side, Manhattan's power is not small in the Song Empire due to its developed financial industry.
At the same time, in addition to the three major cities, the ¡®township chiefs¡¯ who were originally dispatched by Zhao Hongyu also started their urban construction in the central and western regions, and after more than a year, they have begun to bear fruit.
¡°Today, there are already twelve or twelve large and small cities on the American continent.
If Zhao Hongyu can improve his administrative level and have the ability to open permissions again, then there will be more cities in the Song Empire.
The most important thing is that in addition to controlling Manhattan, the current financial city of the Song Empire, Zhang Tie also leads the development tasks of the Caribbean and South America.
Before Zhao Hongyu left the Americas, he expelled the Spaniards and Dutch in the Caribbean and South America from their colonies.
In other words, the entire American continent, North and South America, is now completely in the hands of the Song Empire and has become the territory of the Song Empire.
With Wang Shan arriving on the west coast of the American continent, the empire's tentacles began to extend to the entire American continent.
Theoretically, the current American continent, from Alaska in the north to Ushuaia in the south, already belongs to the empire.
As long as there are enough manpower, cities on the American continent will appear like spring after the rain.
But the problem is that the current development of the empire has become a bit slow due to insufficient population.
Nowadays, everything in the empire is booming, and there is no room for any mistakes.
The most important and critical thing is to ensure the safety of His Highness Zhao Hongyu and prevent him from any danger or accident.
Otherwise, the development of the empire will definitely come to a halt or even become turbulent.
After all, because Zhao Hongyu possesses a heaven-defying cheating device, the population the empire needs must pass through Zhao Hongyu in order to be generated in large quantities.
Once he is finished, the system will take back the open permissions, and the Chinese population in the American Song Empire will no longer be able to grow.
"Really, this His Highness doesn't know how to be careful at all, how could he take risks himself?"
Zhang Tie had a headache about this.
¡°Perhaps, I should select a group of troops and let them go to the east from Australia to provide some support to His Highness.
Zhang Tie slowly withdrew his gaze from the world map and thought secretly in his heart.
He knows that Zhao Hongyu can continue to cultivate genetic people from the virtual world to fight, but this also has prerequisites.
That means Zhao Hongyu must have money in his virtual account.
Once there is no money in his virtual account, it will be impossible for Zhao Hongyu to get help from the virtual world.
This is very important.
¡°Don¡¯t look at the American continent, they are always doing trade with the virtual world and providing Zhao Hongyu with a steady stream of funds.
However, the goods for trade always have to be accumulated together before they can be launched with the virtual world. It's impossible for Mr. Xiao to trade commodities, so just do it piecemeal.
If you do this, it is impossible for those goods to be sold at a big price.
Therefore, there will always be a problem of insufficient quota for a period of time in Zhao Hongyu's account.
What if he encountered such a problem during his time in the East The more Zhang Tie thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Here comes someone!"
Therefore, Zhang Tie felt that he could no longer delay like this. He had to sell a large amount of supplies to add some funds to His Highness's account.
After all, the war in the East is different from the war in the Americas.
There is never a shortage of people in the East. It is normal for a battle to exceed 100,000 people.
¡°It¡¯s like when they established the Song Empire, there were only a few British, Spanish and Dutch people in total.
Although the Iroquois sent out a lot of troops when they captured Quebec, the technology of the Iroquois was too low.?, it is impossible to be taken seriously.
It¡¯s different in the East.
In this era, although cold weapons were used in the East, military firearms also appeared.
Therefore, His Highness must not make any mistakes.
On this side, we need to provide some funds and at the same time send a group of troops to the east, hoping to relieve some pressure on His Highness.
In fact, Zhang Tie knew that the His Highness he was worried about had already obtained one hundred thousand taels of gold from the Japanese. And he used this batch of gold to cultivate thousands of genetic people of Chinese descent, which has replenished his military strength.
At the same time, he also used some Japanese puppet army groups to fight, and hired a group of brutal mercenaries from Portugal. At this time, Zhao Hongyu can be said to be a strong soldier.
It is impossible for Zhang Tie to understand all this.
¡°Sir, what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Hearing Zhang Tie¡¯s call, the secretary working outside the door opened the door and walked in.
Zhang Tie asked: "How many supplies do we have in our warehouse now?"
The secretary was stunned when he heard the Governor-General¡¯s question, because usually the Governor-General doesn¡¯t pay much attention to such trivial matters.
I don¡¯t know what happened, but the Governor actually asked me about it today.
Although he was a little confused, when faced with Zhang Tie's inquiry, the secretary still replied: "The Secretariat has a record, it is a list sent by the materials department a few days ago."
Zhang Tie nodded: "Report to me."
He wanted to see how much supplies were currently stored in Manhattan and how much they could be sold for.
"Sir, before winter this year, we have stored one million cubic meters of yellow pine wood and 1.6 million cubic meters of oak wood At the same time, three tons of gold have been mined this year."
When the secretary reported, Zhang Tie started to calculate while listening.
Based on what the secretary said, Zhang Tie roughly calculated that if all these materials were sold to the virtual world, they would be able to add more than six billion yuan to Zhao Hongyu's virtual account.
With these funds, I think coming to Zhao Hongyu can greatly alleviate the financial pressure.
Thinking about it, His Highness will not miss this opportunity.
¡° Moreover, if you have money on hand, you don¡¯t need to panic. Even if His Highness encounters trouble, having this money can help him easily escape the difficulty, right?
Today¡¯s Manhattan has passed the initial stage of selling furs.
Although they are also engaged in fur trade with the virtual world, this business is no longer a big deal.
Most of them use agricultural products, precious metals, and coal from Ontario as the main trading commodities.
Because he comes from another time and space, Zhao Hongyu still attaches great importance to the environment and animal protection.
Although he does not ban hunting, he will not allow indiscriminate hunting and killing.
In this way, the wildlife resources on the American continent can be greatly guaranteed.
??Besides, the trade of these animal resources can no longer bring a lot of revenue to the empire, right?
The population and territory of the virtual world are ten times larger than that of another similar time and space, so it requires ten times more resources.
Therefore, the resources on your side can be completely consumed by the other party.
Especially in the developing virtual world of China, coal, gold and wood are all products that are in short supply. It can be said that they want as much as they have. As long as the price is right, they will continue to trade with them.
Under such circumstances, the wild animal fur trade does not seem to be very important now.
In this case, Zhao Hongyu simply gave up on such a bloody trade and began to plan for his future grandchildren.
Professor Liu is very supportive of this approach.
Because this ensures the population and survival of wild animals, so that their descendants can have abundant animal resources to use in the future.
Although no benefits can be seen in the short term, as long as more than two hundred years pass, the benefits will become apparent.
By that time, the descendants of the Song Empire will definitely be proud of their ancestors¡¯ decision.
"How is the situation at the fishing company recently?"
Zhang Tie felt relieved after having a number in his mind, and began to ask about things at the fishing company.
In Manhattan, the fishing industry is also a very important and developed industry.
After all, fish that are rich in substances and proteins needed by the human body are indispensable for Manhattan, a city with a population of more than two million.
Every day, fishing boats owned by private companies or umbrella companies in Manhattan go out to sea or enter the harbor. Every ship that enters the port is loaded with a boatload of fishermen.
And these marine fish will be digested by the huge population market, and it is not even enough.
"Originally, Zhao Hongyu planned that the fishing industry could also be used to trade with the virtual world to create a source of wealth for himself.
But what everyone didn¡¯t expect was that the fish caught by the fishing boats in Manhattan were consumed by the locals as soon as they landed, and it was impossible to leave a little bit for trading with the virtual world.
This surprised Zhang Tie.
Fortunately, there are still wood and precious metals, agricultural products from Quebec, and coal from Ontario. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how trade with the virtual world can continue. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
