Chapter 767: We Are Better Than Europeans (Three More!) )
On the plains outside Jinshan City, in addition to the construction site in full swing, there are countless Indians who are cultivating the land in the distance.
These Indians, basically, came from the surrounding area.
They belonged to different tribes, and there was no way for a small tribe like them to survive because of the Indian tribal wars that took place farther along the Great Plains.
A small tribe like this can only migrate to the vicinity of Jinshan in the end.
Otherwise, what awaits them is that the men will be killed and the women will become the spoils of the great tribe.
Even, some tribes that were defeated and withered would migrate to this place.
However, at this time, Jinshan is no longer the land of the owner of the property.
Now, there is a new owner here.
Moreover, the strength of these new masters is still very strong.
Therefore, these migrating Indian tribes wisely chose to become vassals under their command in order to seek protection.
Of course, there are also some tribes who lost the battle for supremacy in the plains, but they were not reconciled.
They want to conquer the small tribes here, merge them into their own tribes to increase their strength, and then return to the plains.
It's a pity that they encountered the Song Empire army that sheltered these small tribes, so they were tragic.
For a tribe like this, the troops under Wang Shan's command have already encountered many branches.
It is precisely with the heads of these tribes that the powerful prestige of the Song in the Jinshan region has been achieved.
Because of their strength, small tribes have gone to defect.
Let Jinshan here Wang Shan solve the big problem of lack of manpower.
Originally, according to the general situation, so many people came to defect.
Then, there will definitely be some crisis on the issue of food.
However, no one could have imagined that in fact, this problem was for Wang Shan. It's not too much of a hassle at all.
After all, Wang Shan is also a genetic person with some authority.
Therefore, he can alleviate the food pressure caused by the increasing population of Jinshan by purchasing enough food from the virtual world.
Isn't it just some stale rice...... Moreover, he is willing to buy Chen Rice, which can be regarded as solving a lot of trouble for a city in China on the other side of the virtual world, and even bringing a lot of political achievements.
Chen Zhenbang, as the leader of this 'foreign trade', has obtained a real political achievement, and has been praised by the internal circular.
For Wang Shan, such a situation of buying physical items from the Virtual World Realm to supplement this side will only appear this year.
After all. The land here in Jinshan has just been cultivated, and if you want to use it, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
In the half year since Zhao Hongyu left, Wang Shan organized people to reclaim Liu Wanmu's land, and when he planted potatoes and wheat next spring, he would not have to buy grain from the virtual world.
Of course, some seasoning or something, that's definitely still needed.
Who let the current Song Empire not produce these things at all.
Even salt, iron, and other things may have to be purchased from the virtual world. There's no way around it.
However, next year, the land will be able to continue to be cultivated, and even more crops and vegetables will be planted after the land is expanded, so that people can eat more varieties.
It's all there. You have to take your time, and you can't rush at all.
Wang Shan is still clear about this truth.
When the time comes, wait until His Royal Highness gets the population from the Ming Dynasty. The speed of Jinshan's development will accelerate.
It will only take three or four years for this to become another Manhattan city again.
In this regard, Wang Shan is very confident.
this day
Wang Shan and his subordinates. I came to the shipyard under construction next to Jinshan Bay to inspect here, and the shipyard is very important to Wangshan.
Ships built in Manhattan and Ontario and Quebec shipyards will certainly be used in the war for supremacy at sea in the Atlantic.
Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be too many warships mobilized to their side.
Therefore, after considering this situation, Wang Shan felt that the fleet on this side of the Pacific needed to rely on itself to find a way.
You must know that the warships built in the shipyards on the east coast are now going to be put into the defense of the imperial waters.
Now the maritime territory of the empire is very vast, North America, Central America and South America, which is a lot of territory.
Without a large fleet and a large number of warships to defend it, it would be a disaster for the Empire.
Based on the number of shipyards the Empire currently has, and the number of warships launched each month, it would take at least ten years for the Empire to assemble a complete coastal defense fleet.
At the same time, if you want to dominate the oceans, it will take even longer.
This refers to the situation on the Atlantic side, not even the time on the Pacific side.
If you count the Pacific Fleet, it will take at least twenty years.
You have to know that this is still in the case of Zhao Hongyu's cheating.
If Zhao Hongyu didn't have a cheat, then it would be almost impossible for him to do all this in twenty years.
It is important to know that the reason why Europeans have such a powerful power at sea in another time and space is the result of several generations of efforts.
If nothing else, skilled and experienced sailors alone cannot be trained overnight.
Fortunately, there are no enemies in the Pacific Ocean on the west coast.
Therefore, the shipyard here in Wangshan does not have to face the same pressure as the East Coast.
However, considering that in the near future, this side will send a lot of ocean-going ships to the East to transport those immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, so Wang Shan will spare no effort to start building warships.
Of course, after the shipyard was built, the ocean-going ships built were basically transport ships.
This kind of transport ship has slightly taken into account some defense and combat effectiveness, and the main thing is that the space of the transport warehouse has been increased.
Because there were no ocean-going ships in the East like in Europe, the Empire would not encounter enemies in the Pacific.
Even if you go to the east and encounter pirates from the East, this kind of ocean-going transport ship that doesn't think too much about firepower can protect itself.
In addition, Wang Shan also considered building some large fishing boats, knowing that the Pacific Ocean was rich in fishery resources at this time.
At the same time, this abundant fishery resources can become another source of funds for Jinshan City. And it's very easy.
In Manhattan City and Quebec City, this kind of fishing business has brought Zhao Hongyu a lot of income.
As long as Wang Shan and the others don't do the destructive fishing of the fishery resources here like the Europeans in another time and space history, then there will be no problems.
And during Zhao Hongyu's voyage to the East, he also discovered Hawaii by the way.
Wang Shan has already sent troops to be stationed on this island nation.
The queen of the Hawaiian Indians, who was very afraid of these strong outsiders, did not let the empire do anything at all, and expressed her submission.
For Hawaii, Wang Shan is very important.
And not just because Hawaii's location is so important. It is also because Hawaii can be a raw material for the empire's sugar.
In another time and space, Hawaii is an important sugar producer in the United States and even in the world.
The climate here is pleasant all year round, which is ideal for growing raw plants for the production of sugar.
So, how could Wang Shan not care.
You must know that if you can produce some goods on your own side, then you can buy one more commodity from the virtual world world.
When the time comes, the savings can be used to invest.
Don't look at everything on the empire's side now, you can buy it from the virtual world, but in the face of such an easy deal, whether it is Zhao Hongyu or Wang Shan. Or Professor Liu, even Song Hu and Zhang Tie, feel that their hearts are not very steady.
They have always believed that the most important thing is that these goods can only be produced by themselves.
God knows what will happen when the trader will not work.
Until that time. What else is the empire talking about?
And empires can also produce violent upheavals.
It's just that it's not the time to invest in those bottomless pits that cost money.
After all, now Zhao Hongyu's money. It will be used to buy genetic people of Chinese descent.
At the same time, the development of the empire has to buy large quantities of building materials.
So. There is simply no surplus money to invest in that bottomless pit.
Besides, as an empire, only the population is the most important.
This is the cornerstone of an empire, and it is the most important thing.
Soldiers are to be generated from the population, and taxes are to be generated from the population.
Therefore, if the empire does not have enough population, then Zhao Hongyu, a huge America, will not be able to control it at all.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu needs not an ordinary population.
What he needs is a Chinese population.
And the money required to cultivate a Chinese population is not cheap.
The price of 420,000 virtual world world soft sister coins does not seem to be much, but if you calculate it carefully, it is staggering.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu accumulated the funds in his account for a whole year last year, and at the end of the year, he only cultivated more than 70,000 Chinese people.
It's only 70,000 a year, and it's only more than 700,000 in ten years.
On a continent as large as the Americas, there are simply not enough people for such a small number of people.
Of course, as long as Zhao Hongyu's level can be improved, then he will make money much faster.
After all, there are only eight genetic people under his command who have opened up their permissions, which is still too few.
However, it will take a process for him to level up.
This process takes time.
Although the eight genetic people who have opened up their permissions have developed eight cities, they only spend one billion yuan per month.
Therefore, they are very careful about the allocation of this billion yuan.
At the same time, the raw materials needed for urban construction, as well as some food and condiments that stabilize people's livelihood, and non-staple foods, all need to be purchased from the virtual world.
Therefore, only half of the funds can be used to cultivate Chinese genetic people.
Rao is like this, which is already very good.
So, don't be too demanding.
Manhattan, Quebec, Ontario City, and four other cities are now very stable.
As long as nothing goes wrong, as long as they maintain such stable development, then one big city after another will appear in the near future.
However, Jinshan City, on the west coast of the Americas controlled by Wang Shan, is different.
Because the city is just beginning to develop.
Therefore, the raw materials for construction need more.
It is always more convenient and faster to buy cement and bricks from the virtual world than to build a city with stones in this era.
But all of this costs money.
If there is no money in the virtual world, you will not have it.
This is very realistic, very cruel.
If Wang Shan's spending amount is used to cultivate genetic people, then the construction and development of Jinshan will not be able to be talked about at all.
Moreover, it was impossible to supply the Indians with cheap food and non-staple foodstuffs, as well as cotton clothing to protect them from the cold.
If there were no such goods, then the recognition of the 'Song' by the Indian vassals in the Jinshan area would be greatly reduced, this is for sure.
Now, it is all thanks to these commodities that the vassal Indians can see the benefits of following the 'Song' and the bright road.
Therefore, these advantages must continue to be maintained, and we must not give up halfway.
The color of the sea here in Jinshan Bay is darker than that in Manhattan.
About thirty nautical miles opposite the Jinshan Pier, there is also a small island.
The island, in another time and space, was named St. Louis Island.
But in this time and space, this island was renamed by Zhao Hongyu, called Xiangdong Island.
There are a thousand garrisons on the island, which has not yet been developed.
However, it is also a matter of time before it is developed, after all, the scope of this island is not small.
It's absolutely impossible to waste.
At this time, in the shallow waters of Jinshan Bay, there are already many small fishing boats wandering on the sea.
And the people on these small fishing boats are some Indian fishermen who originally lived near Jinshan.
These Indian ships were very peculiar, not at all like the ships of the East and Europe.
This kind of boat can generally only carry two people, and it can only sail in shallow waters, and it is completely impossible to go farther.
Strictly speaking, this type of fishing boat is somewhat similar to a canoe.
For this kind of small fishing boat, Wang Shanna can't look down on it at all.
He stared at the Indians fishing on the surface of the sea for a long time before leaving with a group of men.
The current era has gradually begun to change because of their existence.
At least, when it comes to dealing with these Indians, Wang Shan himself feels that they are doing much better than the Europeans in another time and space.
Because, the Song Empire could accept the integration of the Indians, rather than bringing the slaughter to the Indians like the Europeans in another time and space.
When Wang Shan took a ticket of his subordinates to open the beach, he thought silently in his heart...... (To be continued......)
