Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is inevitable that Akito will be full of fear and hesitation when he comes to Jinshan City in America.  Therefore, Wang Shandao didn't have much idea about their reaction.

    And the imperial soldiers at the port did not embarrass these Ming people.  As long as they line up in order and are not disordered, that's fine.

    After these Ming people lined up in order as required, they took them to a camp that had been built long ago on the northern outskirts of Jinshan City.

    This place is specially used to resettle newly arrived immigrants.

    Because Zhao Hongyu had long said that Jinshan would be used to resettle immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shan had already made all preparations when developing and building Jinshan City.

    Along the way, these immigrants, who were guarded by imperial soldiers, also saw a different customs and environment from the Ming Dynasty.

    An Indian with feathers on his head and paint on his face.

    And the pedestrians from the Song Empire wearing weird costumes all gave these Ming people a very novel feeling.

    At the same time, they also saw a lot of buildings along the way, and these buildings were somewhat similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.

    Siheyuan buildings can be seen everywhere in Jinshan City.

    It¡¯s no wonder that this very oriental-style building complex gives these Ming people such a familiar feeling.

    Unlike Manhattan, Ontario City and Quebec, the architectural style here in Jinshan City is planned and developed in accordance with the oriental style.

    ??And Manhattan is a Gothic and Baroque style building, even mixed with the modern rural pastoral architectural style of later America.

    Ontario City is positioned as a heavy industrial city, so most of the buildings are very rough types, and the mix-and-match style is even more serious.  So Ontario Achievement seems a bit like the punk world.

    Quebec is completely a European pastoral style from another time and space.

    Thinking about it, this is entirely related to the personal preferences of the local governor.

    In this regard, Zhao Hongyu completely let go and allowed his subordinates to plan and develop.

    In his opinion, it is also a good thing to have more architectural styles in his country.

    Wait until the development of the empire stabilizes in the future and some infrastructure is completed.  You can live anywhere for a period of time according to your preference.

    And different architectural styles and environments can also make you feel fresh.

    What I have to say is that the environment of the American continent in this era is really hard to say.

    Dense forests, rich animal and plant resources.

    Building a courtyard house in this kind of environment gives the people living there the illusion of living in paradise.

    You must know that in this era, the ecology and various resources and environment of the Americas have not been destroyed by man.

    This completely original environment.  As long as it is well preserved, it is also a very valuable asset.

    It¡¯s like America in another time and space, which was destroyed by Europeans for more than a hundred years.

    Of course, after entering modern times, Americans and Europeans have also begun to pay attention to environmental protection.  But even so, they cannot erase the fact that they have wreaked havoc on the American environment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t look at another time and space, people who have been to the United States seem to think that the environment there is very good.

    But in real terms, the environment at that time was really far different from the environment in the seventeenth century.

    A courtyard with green bricks and red tiles.  Located among towering old trees, surrounded by the sound of birds and flowers, the eyes of Ming people on the road widened.

    And the tall city walls in the distance seemed to tell them the power of the empire.

    People walking on the street.  Everyone's faces were filled with confidence, which shocked the group of Akito.

    Although Ming people in this era were also very confident, this confident group was the gentry class.  For example, the people at the bottom are actually still so ignorant, miserable and confused.

    But here in America.  You don't see people like this at all.

    Even Indians.

    In fact, this is not surprising at all, Indians themselves are optimists.

    Not to mention the Chinese genetic people in the empire, they have knowledge and wisdom beyond this era.  They certainly believe they can create a happy life.

    How could he be as confused and uncertain about the future as Akito was.

    Of course, today¡¯s Ming Dynasty is due to the rise of Hou Jin in the north and a series of military defeats.  As well as the frequent natural disasters in various places, I no longer dare to think about a happy life in my heart.

    At the same time, the Ming DynastyThose in the country who are high up, have status and power, are still annexing the land of the people at the bottom.  The forced people had to become homeless and bankrupt in order to survive.

    "How can you hope for the future for these people who have become bankrupt?"

    You know, in such an era, a bankrupt is basically the same as a dead person.

    Without a job and no food to eat, you will starve to death sooner or later, right?

    So, how is it possible for them to have confidence?

    Although these Mingren did not enter the city, they were shocked by the prosperity outside the city.

    ¡°These people cannot imagine or believe that there is such a prosperous city on this side of the distant sea.

    The recorded population of Jinshan City is more than 800,000.

    Ninety percent of them are native Indians in this area.

    When Wangshan landed at Jinshan and started to be built, many small Indian tribes had already come to join them.

    In addition, Wang Shan led his army to defeat several super tribes in this area through a series of battles.  For a time, it demonstrated the strength of the empire's military power, thus attracting more tribes to join the empire's rule.

    Therefore, in just over a year, the population of Jinshan expanded to more than 800,000.

    What's more, Wang Shan continues to cultivate thousands of Chinese genetic people through the virtual trader every month to replenish it.

    Therefore, Jinshan is no longer as desolate as it was before.

    Instead, it has become a large city with a population of more than 800,000.

    If such a city were placed in another modern time and space, it might just be two counties.

    But in this era, a city with a population of 800,000 is already considered very big.

    You know, even the capitals of European countries in this era may not have such a large population.

    London¡¯s population at this time was only a few hundred thousand.

    Paris, France.  The population is only over 200,000 and less than 300,000.

    This is still a relatively famous capital.

    The population of the capitals of the remaining countries is basically around 10,000.

    Even the capital of the Ottoman Empire had the advantage of being located at the intersection of Europe and Asia, and its population was only over 400,000.

    The capital of Egypt in North Africa has a population of only more than 400,000 due to its prosperous business.

    It can be seen that the population of more than 800,000 in Jinshan City is really not small.

    Of course, because of the time period during which Jinshan City was established, its population cannot be compared with the imperial cities on the east coast.

    Today¡¯s Manhattan has an urban population of more than 1.6 million people.  This is because some of them were dispersed to surrounding villages under construction.

    If you include the population in those rural areas, the population of Manhattan will exceed 2 million.

    Ontario¡¯s population is slightly less. The entire region¡¯s rural towns and cities combined have a population of just over 1.7 million.

    Quebec has more than 1.3 million people.

    It can be estimated based on the time when the city was established that Manhattan was the first to be established.

    The remaining two cities are later than Manhattan, not to mention Jinshan City, which is located on the west coast.

    But even so, Jinshan City also gave these Ming people a great shock.

    Outside Jinshan City, there are also many building clusters, as well as small community-type shops, streets and markets.

    at the same time.  The shops here have a wide variety of products. Even if the Ming Dynasty people walking on the road did not go in to browse, they could still see a lot of them casually.

    Especially outside the large department stores and supermarkets outside the city, there are so many people coming and going.  As well as the large-scale building of the supermarket, these Mingren were stunned.

    The temporary residence of these Ming people is a large camp surrounded by barbed wire.

    The house is entirely built with materials purchased from the virtual world, with red brick exterior walls and cement board roofs.

    Immigrants from Ming Dynasty.  Where have I seen such a building before?

    So, they felt very novel about it.

    "However, novelty is novelty.  The fear of the future still prevailed in their hearts.

    Because they don¡¯t know what these people from a strange country are doing by bringing them to this place.

    Therefore, each of these Mingren's faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

    "Line up one by one, you have to live here for a month. This is also the inspectionCheck whether you have any diseases, and let you learn the rules here.  After waiting for a month, you can be released.  "

    At the gate of the camp, an imperial official stood, shouting loudly to the Ming people about their arrangements.

    It turns out that after these Ming people came to Jinshan, they could not get the land immediately.

    They must also live in this camp for a month to learn the laws and regulations of the empire and Jinshan, and at the same time, they must check whether they have any diseases.

    Of course, this is also very beneficial.

    First of all, the epidemic can be effectively controlled, and they have brought some uncontrollable major disease disasters to Jinshan.

    At the same time, considering the more than four months of sea voyage, these people must be very weak.

    It just so happens that during this month, you can take good care of yourself.

    For them, the empire has done its best.

    Of course, learning about the laws and regulations of the empire can also help them understand the system of the empire.  If the province breaks the law, it will have a negative impact on the security of the empire.

    These Ming people lined up obediently and walked into the camp one by one through the big iron gate.  What puzzled them was that there was a man wearing a white cloth mask at the gate, spraying some white powder and liquid on their bodies.

    It¡¯s just strange.

    In this way, the first wave of immigrants from Ming Dynasty entered their short-term 'home' where they would live for a month At the same time, their hearts were still full of fear and uneasiness about the unknown and the future (To be continued  )
