After receiving the report from his subordinates, the young stationmaster of the Manhattan train station trotted all the way to Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie had already led the guards to the station warehouse area.

Looking at the young stationmaster's face, Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel a sigh.

Because the Song Empire was established for a short time, and Zhao Hongyu cultivated young genetic people, the Chinese people living in the Song Empire were basically very young.

The age structure is between 18 and 26 years old.

It can be said that the Song Empire was a very young country.

Here, you can feel the energy of young people.

This is also why many Europeans are very puzzled after coming to the Americas.

Because here in the Song Empire, they have not seen an older Chinese descendant.

Of course, Europeans are puzzled by this, but they don't bother to explore anything.

After all, it's better to be busy looking for a job to support your family, isn't it?

An exception is an exception for the rather old Chinese like Professor Liu, because Professor Liu is not a genetic person, he is a person from the virtual world.

But Professor Liu is unique, and there is no one like him in the entire Song Empire except for him.

In other words, Professor Liu is the only one who has voluntarily come to this time and space from the virtual world.

I have to say that this is a little regrettable for Zhao Hongyu and them.

But it's also a good thing that a country is full of young people, isn't it?

At least for twenty years, there is no need to worry about the development of the Song Empire.

And on the side of the Song Empire, there is no plan to have children, so you can have as many children as you want.

In addition, men of Chinese descent basically have wives now, so there is no big problem with the future population growth trend of the empire.

What's more, Zhao Hongyu can also continue to pass the virtual trader. It's time to breed young genetic people.

Therefore, the Song Empire did not have to worry about the danger of population aging and population age structure being cut off.

As a modern person from another time and space, Zhao Hongyu certainly understands a truth. That is, from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, population was a very important foundation of a country.

If the population of the country does not have a certain number of bases, then it will become a joke to rule the world.

For example, Zhang Tie and Zhao Hongyu have always maintained a supportive attitude on this issue.

Besides, because Zhang Tie was opened by Zhao Hongyu, they also have a certain share of expenses every month.

Basically. Half of their monthly expenses are used to cultivate genetic people of Chinese descent.

Because they also know very well that in the development of the empire, the cornerstone of stability is to have a certain number of Chinese people.

Only when the population of Chinese descent occupies a certain proportion of the total population of the empire will the empire be truly stable.

Once the Chinese population of the empire becomes a minority, then there will be a great hidden danger to the stability of the empire.

It is also thanks to the fact that the empire is still very young, and in the past three or four years since the founding of the country, the empire has demonstrated its strong military combat effectiveness to the outside world.

Plus in these years. It also cleaned up the forces of the European Church that were trying to subvert the empire.

Therefore, within ten years, the stability of the empire is still guaranteed.

Besides, over time. The empire is bound to grow gradually.

And because of the relationship with cheats, the empire, whether it is political or military, will steadily improve.

Ten years from now, the empire will be able to reach at least the nineteenth-century technology level in another time and space.

And so it goes. In this world, the empire is the only powerful country.

"It is a great honor for the Governor to be here. I didn't know that the Governor of the Road was here. What is it? ”

The young stationmaster of the railway station said a small compliment, and then asked Zhang Tie about his intention.

As the governor of Manhattan and a prominent figure in the military struggle, Zhang Tiena is an absolute noble figure in the Chinese community.

Because he has to manage a huge territory in Manhattan, Zhang Tie has a lot of things to deal with every day.

Therefore, if it were not for a special matter, the Governor would not have come to the train station in person.

The young stationmaster didn't know that there was already a train of goods entering the station, and this cargo was very important to Zhang Tie.

Otherwise, Zhang Tie would not have personally brought people to the train station.

"I'm here to receive a shipment from Ontario City. Now that I've entered the station, I can't rest assured that the goods are more special, so I will bring people here myself. ”

Although he was facing a small railway station master, Zhang Tie still explained very kindly.

Although it was not clear what kind of cargo it was, the clever stationmaster of the train station did not ask either.

After all, with his position as a small stationmaster, there are some things that are better left untactful.

"In this case, the lower officer will immediately dispatch people to unload the goods."

did not continue to entangle on the issue of goods, and the stationmaster of the railway station hurriedly said that he would dispatch people to unload the goods in a hurry.

"I know that there are a lot of European laborers at the Langdao Railway Station. Just let these people come, and hire me fifty wagons at the same time!" ”

Ooh!

Fifty wagons are required, which shows that the unloaded goods are very heavy.

However, these are not what I need to explore, and when facing Governor Zhang Tie, it is better for me to inquire less.

Although the stationmaster of the railway station was young, he was extremely clever about these things, and he happily took the order.

Zhang Tie waited for the arrival of the workers in the freight yard.

Like the train station area in another time and space, the train station area in Manhattan in this era also has places that can be called 'rivers and lakes'.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes, and there will be grievances.

Of course, it is most correct that there are interests mixed in this.

Since the opening of the train between Ontario and Manhattan, the train stations in both places have also become the main location of some guilds because of their huge interests.

Among them, especially the Ligong Guild attaches the most importance to the railway station.

Because every day. There will be several trains running between the two cities.

Because of the development of commerce, many goods are transported by train to the two cities.

Then, loading and unloading has a lot of benefits to be gained.

In the early days, the laborers were just looking for work on the docks in Manhattan.

With the development of Manhattan, the loading and unloading of goods has slowly become more and more prosperous with the trend.

Those immigrants from Europe, although they are not highly educated, and not everyone has a craft. Therefore, it has become inevitable to enter the power industry.

Anyway, with a little strength. If you can endure hardship, you can do it, and there is no threshold limit for this industry, so most of the remnants who came to the Americas will come to do labor.

Labor, as the name suggests, is actually a hard-working professional job.

In modern parlance, it's better to call a stevedore.

In fact, in essence, it is still labor.

Because of the trains, there are six trains a day in Manhattan. Depart from Manhattan to Ontario City. At the same time, a lot of goods from Manhattan were trafficked by train.

With so many wagons of goods, someone always needs to load them.

In Manhattan and Ontario stations where there is no loading and unloading machinery for special reasons. Manpower loading and unloading has become inevitable.

However, there are a number of trains, and there are also a number of goods loaded and unloaded.

So, the cake of the train station. It's not very big, so to speak.

In the face of many groups that want to get a piece of the pie, there will inevitably be some armed conflicts.

Although these guilds are not underworlds, they are all inextricably linked to the underworld behind them.

on this. Zhang Tie is also clear.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie took this situation into account in the early days, so they made some arrangements early.

The largest gang in the Song Empire under the control of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Manhattan Gang, can be said to be a well-deserved underworld boss in Manhattan.

Therefore, this little interest of the train station was eventually seized by a certain labor union controlled by the Manhattan Gang.

Although the Manhattan gang is the boss of the underworld, he is only the most ganged in Manhattan, and he can't do what he says.

The reason for this is that there is no way to do it.

Because every day at the Manhattan docks, a boatload of European immigrants arrives. In order to survive, these immigrants will definitely stay together, and they will not necessarily join the Manhattan gang.

Therefore, gangsters of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Although the Manhattan Gang has been constantly attacked and eliminated, it cannot be completely eradicated.

In the end, Zhang Tie also understood that as long as the immigrants do not stop, then the gangsters will definitely continue to appear.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, it is better to relax a little and let its development be within a controllable range.

However, as long as you ensure that the Manhattan gang is always stronger than these European gangsters, you can do it.

Anyway, these people can't afford to make any big waves, and when the empire develops steadily in the future, they can solve these gangsters at once.

Hulala, just as Zhang Tie was pondering, a group of people outside the freight yard came from a distance.

Needless to say, it must be the workers found by the stationmaster.

As soon as the men entered the yard, a guy who looked like a boss came over.

Of course, for such a small person, there is no need for Zhang Tie to meet in person.

Zhang Tie's lieutenant talked to the leader of the force for a while, and then the head of the force walked back and waved to his companions.

Then, the workers rushed to the train that had been parked on the tracks of the freight yard, opened the doors of the train and began to unload the goods from the inside.

The huge cargo covered in canvas was slightly lifted by the wind.

When illuminated by sunlight, it has a unique luster of metal, reflecting a unique brilliance.

"Haha I can't imagine that Song Hu, this guy, actually bought so many scrapped tractors! With these tractors, the farmers around Manhattan will be happy to death! “

Zhang Tie's eyes lit up, and he understood what the goods sent by Song Hu through the train were...... (To be continued......)
