"What do you think they're talking about? The smile is so insidious. ”

Not far away, Emma and Sara looked at Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie.

Sara shook her head: "I don't know the way, the world of men, we women can't figure it out." ”

"You say, is the East really that good?" Emma is also more curious about the East, because since she learned that she was going to the East, Sara has not stopped talking about the benefits and wonders of the East in front of her.

Gold-paved roads, life like paradise, clean and tidy streets and cities.

It's actually heaven.

However, Emma was just curious.

Because here in Manhattan, in fact, there seems to be no difference from the East that Sara said.

Clean and tidy streets, beautiful greenery.

The people in the city are full of hope for happiness and life on their faces, and everyone is full of energy every day.

You can't see the numbness on the faces of the people on the European continent.

However, what the road paved with gold looks like makes Emma very curious.

She had been imagining what it would look like for a straight continent of golden light to lead ahead.

Because Emma and Zhao Hongyu have been to Europe, they don't have a good impression of Europe.

Dirty cities, stinking streets, people dressed dirty.

On their faces, they were numb except for numbness, as if they were soulless puppets or walking corpses.

This feeling made Emma not have a good impression of Europe.

Therefore, Emma felt that it would be good as long as the East did not look like Europe.

In fact, it is not surprising that Sara has such a longing for the East.

Europeans living in this era actually have similar fantasies about the Orient to Sarah.

Because their living environment is extremely harsh, it is not surprising that they have such an obsession and yearning for the oriental scenes described in those books.

The mere fact that the city is clean and tidy and the happy smiles on people's faces is enough to make Europeans envious to death, isn't it?

It's just that. Europeans don't know what to do, and the scene described in those books is the Song Dynasty, which was not governed by the Mongols hundreds of years ago.

After such a long time, the changes in the east are also very large.

But in any case, the East is now stronger than Europe except for the sea.

However, in the era of Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, the ocean exploration and even warship technology of the Ming Dynasty were not like this.

It is only because of some human factors that the East has stopped in ocean exploration. That's just a chance for Westerners.

If those officials in the court of the Ming Dynasty are a little worried, the future is really uncertain.

However, since Zhu Di, the navy of the Ming Dynasty has been completely finished.

This is definitely not providence, but a real man-made disaster.

What they don't know is that because of their own private desires and interests, Huaxia was trampled on by Western barbarians in the future.

After all, these people don't have the insight of Zhao Hongyu.

The fleet slowly sailed away from the port of Manhattan and headed for the Caribbean Sea.

Zhao Hongyu's route is - Caribbean - South America. After reaching the end of South America, turn back and head north to the West Coast.

The final destination, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie decided, was San Francisco, that is, San Francisco in the United States in the future.

There are gold, iron and copper mines, and large tracts of fertile land have been cultivated.

It is enough to settle those immigrants from the Ming Dynasty in the future.

At the same time, there are abundant fishery resources near the west coast. In the early days, it was possible to supplement the protein intake of immigrants without eating a lot of meat.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, the main one is the establishment of settlements on the West Coast. The whole of North America was completely under the control of the Empire.

At that time, whoever wanted to invade the American continent would not be able to go straight to the continent, and the first thing to face was the garrisons and cities on the east and west coasts.

As for the hinterland of the Americas. The empire can slowly build towns and towns, but there is no need to rush it.

Establishing settlements of 10,000 people along the east and west coasts will definitely be able to control the entire American continent within five years.

At that time, the empire could be considered the true hegemon of the Americas.

For this point, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie, as well as Song Hu and Wang Shan, they already have a detailed plan.

It is especially important to use the west coast as a base to explore for oil in the west.

After all, it's much closer to go west from the west coast than to go west from the east coast.

And oil, which can definitely bring a lot of money to Zhao Hongyu from the virtual world.

At that time, with iron ore and oil, Zhao Hongyu felt that he could make the development of the empire show a leap forward.

Unlike gold, if there are too many of them, the price will fall.

But iron ore is different.

This thing was rising every year in Zhao Hongyu's time, and there were also minerals with no market price.

In that era, the Chinese country was exploited every year for iron ore, and Zhao Hongyu also knew it.

As long as he can supply iron ore here, then the Huaxia Kingdom in the Metaverse will no longer have to be exploited, right?

Even if Huaxia doesn't need it, other countries need it.

This thing can also be called a strategic material.

And oil, not to mention.

As long as Zhao Hongyu can produce oil here, there is definitely no shortage of buyers.

People in this era don't need it, but the virtual world can definitely sell it for a good price.

The smoke is vast and the sky is blue.

White seagulls flapping their wings and hovering in the sky, aren't they making a 'boom!' Phew! '.

Such a scene can no longer attract Emma.

She's not the little girl she didn't see last year.

Since going around Europe last year, Emma's horizons have broadened a lot.

"Your Highness, now that the speed of the voyage has stabilized, we are expected to arrive in Cayenne in the Caribbean Sea in about five days."

Wang Shan observed at this time, and after getting the captains' reply, he came to Zhao Hongyu to report to him.

Now Wang Shan is still sticking to his dog-legged duties.

"Wang Shan, do you think we are dreaming?"

Zhao Hongyu looked up at the blue sky. Said faintly.

Wang Shan was stunned when he heard this.

Zhao Hongyu continued: "I always have the feeling that I have come to this world, and everything I have experienced and happened seems to be a dream. Sometimes I am worried, and suddenly I wake up and realize that everything is fake. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Wang Shan understood.

Now His Royal Highness is a little psychologically problematic because of his experience.

He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this can't be a dream. You've experienced a lot of things yourself, and if it's a dream, how can it be so real, at least the scar on your face is proof. ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled and turned his head to look at Wang Shan with a worried expression.

"Don't take it so seriously. I'm just sighing. You don't think there's something wrong with me psychologically, do you? ”

Looking at Zhao Hongyu's smiling expression, Wang Shan nodded.

"You're our backbone right now, and I don't want anything wrong with you."

Wang Shan told the truth.

Zhao Hongyu shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, our experience is a bit amazing, and it's not surprising that I have such thoughts." Don't you have such thoughts? Zhao Hongyu asked Wang Shan.

After thinking about it, Wang Shan replied, "Yes, I also had such a thought. It's just that if you come here, you will be safe, and it's useless to think so much, we have to work hard to survive. And strive for better. ”

Zhao Hongyu laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, yes, what you said is not wrong at all, it is useless for us to think so much. In the end, it's not about fighting. Do you want to make yourself better? ”

chatting with Wang Shan nonsense, Zhao Hongyu relaxed a lot.

After shaking off those unrealistic ideas, Zhao Hongyu motioned for Wang Shan to sit down.

"You're a little bit heavy on your shoulders now, and you're going to have to do a good job on the West Coast in the future. The Ming settlers need to reclaim the land and build towns, and you have to have a number in mind. There's not much we can do to help you right now, but with the permissions you have. I think it should solve a lot of problems. ”

Thinking that when he arrived on the west coast, Wang Shan was about to get off the boat and leave him.

Zhao Hongyu was a little reluctant for a while.

After all, Wang Shan has followed him for the longest time, and he is also the most intimate subordinate.

However, now for the sake of immigration and population problems, the burden on Wang Shan's shoulders has to be heavier.

Who made Zhao Hongyu have no more available people on hand now.

Wang Shan saw that Zhao Hongyu had said this, so he nodded seriously.

"Leave it to me, Your Highness, it's no problem. I also have the authority of the township chief, and I can definitely handle and solve some difficulties in the early days, which is not a problem. ”

In this regard, Wang Shan is very confident.

Zhao Hongyu turned his head and set his eyes on Anness, who was chatting with Emma and Sara not far away.

"You're lucky, there's a blonde little Lori chasing you, if it's in my time, I don't know how many people I want to envy. You must know that it was a crime in those days, even if Anneth herself wanted to. You have to be nice to others, and you can't bully others. ”

Ahem!

Zhao Hongyu talked about this matter, and Wang Shan blushed.

As for what His Royal Highness said, Wang Shan didn't know what to say.

The reason why he always avoided Anness, the enthusiastic little Lori, was that Wang Shan didn't think about this issue.

However, in the end, Wang Shan was conquered by enthusiasm and accepted Annes.

But fortunately, this is the 17th century, so such a thing is not illegal.

"Your Highness, your father-in-law has been talking to me all this time, and he wants me to marry another Mohican wife besides Anneth, do you have any opinion on this?" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
