- In this era, the American continent was full of virgin forests, which had not been destroyed at all.
In another time and space, the forests here in America were destroyed, and that was also in the early eighteenth century.
The Europeans who came to America at that time were so extravagant that they would cut down trees for firewood in the summer. This situation lasted for about 150 years, destroying a large amount of forest resources.
And the consequences of doing so were revealed more than a hundred years later.
That is, a large amount of water and soil erosion is very serious.
Since that time, Americans who have become independent have begun to pay attention to this issue. And turned to the management of land and environment, and maintained this concept into the new century.
At the same time, Americans doing this has brought them great benefits.
From the side, it also shows how rich Lingye¡¯s resources are on the American continent in this era.
Zhao Hongyu, who established the Song Empire, certainly knew this.
If he doesn¡¯t make use of such rich forestry resources, wouldn¡¯t he be the biggest fool?
¡°Besides, if a city is built here in Manhattan, the expansion of the city will inevitably destroy some forests. Therefore, in addition to being used to build residential materials needed for cities, the remaining wood can also be sold to the virtual world.
The virtual world is very similar to the world before Zhao Hongyu came to this era. Resources are very scarce, which leads to shortage of raw materials and high prices.
Even if you pay a high price, you may not be able to buy some raw materials.
But the appearance of Zhao Hongyu gave hope to the Celestial Empire in the virtual world.
Although the prices of the products sold by Zhao Hongyu are not low, they are at least not higher than the international prices.
Especially the iron ore in Ontario City is very important to China.
However, the current supply of iron ore from the Song Empire is not very large.
However, this at least allows Chinese buyers in the virtual world to see another way.
Song Hu even revealed to this guy when he was dealing with Chen Zhenbang that the current quantity of iron ore and precious metals was only due to the small amount of mining in the early stage.
Once the scale of mining is expanded in the later period, the quantity will definitely increase greatly.
Therefore, Chen Zhenbang kept this sentence in his heart and secretly told the buyers in the virtual world who needed iron ore and precious metals.
"And Chen Zhenbang, because he was able to find another way, was remembered by the senior management, which made his career smoother.
This is something that even Chen Zhenbang himself had not thought of.
The Celestial Dynasty in the virtual world, like the world that Zhao Hongyu did not travel to, is squeezed by the World Iron Ore Company.
If China can find another way to supply iron ore raw materials, they will definitely be very happy.
At the same time, Tianchai also has a large demand for wood. However, due to the exchange of resources for the economy in the early years, the resource consumption of the Tianchao in the virtual world was too large. Also due to the widespread real estate development and soil erosion, the Tianchao was The forestry resources here have been exhausted, so China can only start to purchase raw materials from the international timber market.
However, this presents the same problem as iron ore, that is, the price cannot be controlled by oneself and must be determined according to other people's rules.
Therefore, the wood raw materials used in China are very expensive.
¡°The wood that Zhao Hongyu and the others are selling here is like dew to the Celestial Empire after a long drought.
¡°These ¡®unknown origin¡¯ wood raw materials are not only of good quality but also very affordable, so this makes merchants from the Chinese dynasty in the virtual world flock to them.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s timber trade in the Americas has shown a booming trend in the virtual world.
With the addition of the virtual world, the Celestial Empire also began to carry out a precious metal reserve strategy, which gave the Song Empire a stable sales channel for its gold.
Although the price of gold has shown a downward trend in the virtual world, overall profits are still very considerable.
It is precisely because of this that raw materials such as precious metals, wood, copper, iron, and coal have become the focus of the Song Empire's trade in the virtual world.
¡°Quebec¡¯s green and pollution-free agricultural products are also well sold in China.
The virtual world is different from the real world because itThe world is ten times bigger, so the number of people with high consumption power has also increased ten times.
Zhao Hongyu and the others don¡¯t have to worry about spending power.
In order to be able to eat safe meals, these people are also willing to pay high prices to enjoy these pollution-free green foods.
Even the grains, vegetables, and fruits produced in Quebec have become famous in China in the virtual world. These are things that Zhao Hongyu could not have imagined at all.
On Chen Zhenbang¡¯s side, I don¡¯t know how many merchants are calling him every day to establish friendship, hoping to meet Zhao Hongyu and others, or to maintain stable trade channels.
As for these people wanting to meet Zhao Hongyu and others, it is impossible to think about it.
As for stabilizing trade channels, we just need to see if they can give Chen Zhenbang enough benefits.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As long as it is a businessman who is able to give a benefit, then their supply of goods shall not be a problem.
These are the bulk of the Song Empire's trade with the virtual world, and there are also a lot of small trades.
For example, beef and mutton that do not eat feed, as well as some game, also occupy a certain share. Although it is not big, it brings a lot of profits.
Anyway, the wild animal resources here were very rich in the 17th century. As long as the intensity of hunting was controlled, trade would not be a problem.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Zhao Hongyu is short of money.
It¡¯s just that the establishment of the Song Empire was too short, and some infrastructure has just begun to be planned, so there is no way to start production of many minerals.
Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu will definitely become the largest raw material supplier in the virtual world.
Various ores, metals, oil, and other strategic materials that are in short supply in the virtual world can not only satisfy the countries in the virtual world, but also bring considerable profits to Zhao Hongyu.
All of this will have to happen over time, until the Song Empire slowly develops to a certain level.
With the current water quality of the Song Empire, there is still no way to achieve this.
Think about it, if you want to expand mining, then some supporting charity must be established in advance.
At the same time, maintenance and maintenance and workers must be trained slowly.
It doesn¡¯t mean that just letting anyone go up can do it.
When Song Hu was developing in Ontario City, after purchasing coal deep excavation equipment and conveyor belts that were about to be scrapped, he gritted his teeth and built a hydropower station.
If there were not a small hydropower station and the thermal power plants that were gradually built inland in the next two years, Ontario would not have been able to develop so fast.
The foundation of modern industry is electricity.
¡°However, if we want to build perfect power facilities, it will definitely not be achieved overnight.
According to the predictions of Zhang Tie and others, if the Song Empire is to initially possess modern industrial power, it will take at least ten years of development for the Song Empire to achieve this.
At the same time, because the equipment Chen Zhenbang sold to them were all old and obsolete items. Therefore, the cost of maintenance and repair has greatly increased, and because these machines are too old, they may be scrapped after a few years of use.
Therefore, the time they estimated may have to be pushed back ten years.
¡° Moreover, after a large number of factories are built, there will also be a large demand for workers with knowledge and skills.
It is obviously not possible to just rely on the hundreds of thousands of Chinese genetic people in the Song Empire.
Moreover, with the expansion of the Song Empire, the Chinese genetic people in the empire will definitely be invested in government departments and some key units, or else they will become big businessmen and stand at the top of the empire's economy.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for people of Chinese descent to do things like entering a factory as a worker.
In the American Song Empire, although there is no racial discrimination on the surface and citizens are treated equally, these are just superficial things.
To put it bluntly, it¡¯s just used to fool people.
In the plans of Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu, including Professor Liu who later joined them, the people who led the Song Empire were of Chinese descent.
It is absolutely impossible for other races to occupy high-level positions.
At the same time, the armed forces of the empire must also be controlled by Chinese descendants.
Those Europeans, Indians, and other ethnic populations should become the cornerstone of the empire.
¡°These are things that have been decided in private, and it is impossible for the common people to know.
Therefore, on the surface, the Song Empire, because of its strong economy and free and relaxed environment, became a paradise in the eyes of all foreigners who had seen this country, and it was also the best place to live.
It¡¯s no wonder that the people of Europe, who were still in a semi-feudal state, were crying and begging to come to the Song Empire, even to do the most menial jobs.
Of course, those who came to America without formal channels, the Song Empire would first regard them as illegal immigrants. Throw them into European settlements, which are called 'slums' by locals in Manhattan, and let them live with their own people for a period of time. They will never disturb the lives of 'citizens'.
In addition to the hard work of the docks, these people can do it, which is the work such as sweeping the streets, restaurants, dung, bathhouses, etc.
As for some Europeans who want to take risks and join the underworld Hey, could it be that the dock gangs installed with the support of the Imperial Intelligence Department and the Imperial Asan patrol officers are vegetarians?
You know, with strong backers, the Asans have exploded into a combat power of 1,000. (To be continued.
