Chapter 335: Manhattan in Development (Three Watches!) )
The sea breeze is clear, and after nightfall, the city of Manhattan finally cools down.
These are some of the benefits of being close to the sea.
Unlike European cities, Manhattan is busy during the day, but it is also lively at night.
After a long day's work, people finally ushered in their own time, they wandered around the dock shopping street, and when they were tired, they could stop and find a small shop to spend a little money and taste some small food to satisfy their cravings.
This kind of life is very comfortable.
It is also something that most European people who come here to beg for a living have never enjoyed.
So, a lot of workers from Europe, they quickly like Manhattan and never want to leave.
Migrant workers in Manhattan are paid a day to pay for their families, and they are also wealthy.
So, there is nothing wrong with bringing your family to enjoy the night market life.
Shaved ice, a summer snack with little technical content, has appeared on the streets of Manhattan's commercial streets.
Lemon, apple, banana, and orange flavored shaved ice can quench the heat and thirst, and the cost is only 20 copper plates.
This price is simply negligible for most of the laborers who carry bags at the dock and can earn half a piece of Longyang in a day.
Besides, it's worth the money to make your wife and children smile, isn't it?
Marshmallows, ten copper plates.
A bowl of 30 copper plates of white fungus peanuts, and ice cubes are also placed.
Manhattan's Wharf Night Market is never short of snacks.
These people who do small business are basically the majority of Huaxia gene people under the command of Zhao Hongyu.
Anyway, they are idle, and many people are willing to come out and make a little money.
You must know that these Chinese gene people have basically been allocated a piece of land of their own. And became the lord of the manor.
But even so, they are willing to carve out a small business of their own in the docks.
The genetics are faithful to maintain law and order, and they are full of smiles at these Huaxia genetics who set up stalls.
Because these low-caste Asan people knew that in the Song Empire, the Chinese talents were the most noble.
This was followed by the Somalis and Gurkha and Mohicans, and then by the Indians of their Asan and other tribes.
As for the Europeans, their status is not even as good as Ah San, and they belong to the existence that Ah San can bully at will.
However, the Ah San will not bully them casually, as long as they do not violate the law, or set up stalls everywhere in violation of the rules.
The Umbrella Company's 'Crescent March' logo can be seen everywhere in the marina. Along with the flag of the umbrella company, there is also a five-star red flag.
Employees belonging to the military department of the Umbrella Company, dressed in black and white octagonal geometry, occasionally haunt the streets of the night market.
And the soldiers on duty in Manhattan during the day also come to visit at night.
In the restaurants near the port terminal business district, there are always children from Europe running through the streets with food boxes, and they are employees hired by various restaurants to deliver takeaways.
Because they are paid less and work hard, many restaurants are willing to hire these little guys.
Most of them follow their parents. Or come to Manhattan alone to make a living.
But because they don't have citizenship, they don't have access to the main city of Manhattan and can't enjoy various benefits.
However, just looking for a job here at the dock port. It's enough for these children to feed themselves.
Here in Manhattan, as long as you are diligent with your hands and feet, you will not starve to death, which has become the recognition of all Europeans.
Those who are not doing well in the city of Manhattan will not be pitied.
Because everyone knows the way. If you are willing to endure hardship, you can live well here in Manhattan.
And only those who are lazy will not be able to get along.
Know the way. Manhattan is much stronger here than it is in Europe.
In the commercial street, in addition to migrant workers and inner city residents, there are also many Chinese gene people with a few black slaves on the street. These black slaves belong to the kind of people who are extremely honest and loyal to their masters, so they will be taken out by their masters and enjoy life in Manhattan.
These black slaves also wore ordinary white shirts and trousers of the 18th century men, and looked no different from ordinary people.
But if you notice, there is a scar burned by a soldering iron on the back of their neck...... Slave.
But the people on the street were no longer surprised by this, because the number of black slaves in the estates outside Manhattan was very large.
There are a lot of Europeans who are hired to work in the estates, so everyone knows this very well.
Unlike the black slaves, the Europeans were responsible for guarding the estates and taking care of the black slaves.
They do their best, after all, they are paid very well by their families.
Moreover, these employers still belonged to the most noble Chinese race in the Song Empire, so these Europeans hoped to do their best to gain the favor of their employers, so that the employers could fight for themselves as citizens of the empire.
I have to say that the current 'green card' of the citizens of the Song Empire, in the eyes of these migrant workers who came here, is a pass to the real paradise.
Compared with the later generations of the United States' green card, there are no more mistakes.
It's just that unlike later generations, at that time, it was the Chinese people who yearned for the rice country.
But in this era, it is countless European dicks who yearn for the Song Empire in the Americas.
It's amazing that it's all reversed.
For such a situation, the Chinese gene people in the Song Empire laughed secretly in their hearts.
The commercial street is very bustling and lively, because the red X area and gambling houses are specially allocated, so people who want to have special fun only need to walk a few extra steps, and the general public for those who are not interested, can fully enjoy the entertainment brought by the commercial street.
Grilled fish, kebabs, and cold beer are all sold on the high street.
Basically, the entire shopping street was developed according to the pattern of the later sixties.
The rural-urban interface is used to describe the night market in Manhattan City, which is a very accurate positioning evaluation.
The chemical ice made by Lanxiang Technical School. It brings infinite vitality and coolness to this hot summer, and also allows the people who live here to taste something new that they have never felt before.
Indians also appeared in the flow of people, and these Indians were all integrated into the Song Empire half a year ago.
Now they have become part of the Song Empire and are accustomed to life in the Song Empire.
Living in the Song Empire was much stronger than the previous tribal life.
At least, now they don't have to worry about making a living.
Most Indians, who don't like rigid and monotonous work, like the Mohicans, go out hunting.
The Americas are vast and rich in wildlife resources, so you don't have to worry about anything.
And the prey they hunted. You can sell it directly to restaurants and hotels in the commercial street, so you don't have to worry about smashing it into your hands.
Although on the island of Manhattan across the strait, the Mohicans graze their cattle and sheep in herds, many liquor stores still like to buy wild game as a selling point.
Besides, the food stalls in the shopping street at night also need a lot of meat.
The beef and mutton on Manhattan Island alone are simply not available.
Hence the Indian hunters. I found a career of my own.
At the same time, these hunters also receive a salary from the Empire, as they hunt and guard the Empire's territory.
If you meet some Europeans who want to sneak into the hinterland. or Indians from other regions, then these hunters will instantly transform into Imperial soldiers to fulfill their duties.
Being able to get money is nothing bad for an Indian hunter.
Besides. Guarding the territory is also how it should be, isn't it.
Therefore, with the presence of these hunters, the defense of Manhattan has greatly improved.
In particular, it is a great blow to those who want to smuggle people. European adventurers heading to the hinterland.
Another popular entertainment in Manhattan's night markets is the instant welfare lottery business.
Seven numbers, six red balls, and a basketball, which are opened every hour.
As soon as this entertainment was launched, it aroused a lot of interest and participation.
Ten copper plates can buy one bet, and the jackpot is basically hundreds of Longyang.
Therefore, some people who have spare money in their hands will come over every night to try their luck by buying a few bets.
It's good to win, but it's okay if you don't, and there's not much money anyway.
This kind of low-cost gambling entertainment is attended by many people every day.
These are the women who have nothing to do at home, as well as the children who work around.
Some Indians will come to play, but they won't be so addicted.
On the island of Manhattan today, in addition to cattle and sheep, there are also herds of horses.
The herds were stocked on the island of Manhattan in preparation for future cavalry training.
And the largest rancher on the island is Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law, 'Black Bear'.
After all, the land and pastures under Zhao Hongyu's name and Emma's name are now handed over to him to take care of.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law deservedly became the richest person among the Mohicans, and also the person who owned the most cattle, sheep and horses, and the most land.
On his estates and ranches, he employed many Mohicans, as well as a large number of black slaves and European guards.
But the Mohicans have no opinion on this, because they feel that the current life is brought to them by Zhao Hongyu and Emma.
Therefore, as Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law, it is normal to have enviable wealth.
At the same time, many Mohicans don't have to go to Manhattan City, as long as they can work and earn money nearby, what's wrong with that?
Manhattan Island has completely become the world of the Mohicans, and with the acquiescence of Zhao Hongyu, they set up the Mohican Guard to maintain law and order, and Ah San is only a supporting role to threaten it.
All the Mohicans knew that they were going to keep their arms up to maintain Zhao Hongyu's dominance and Emma's position.
Only in this way can they continue to maintain the good life they now have.
It can be said that the Mohicans have become an armed force that fully supports and supports Zhao Hongyu.
Even if the sky is falling apart, the Mohican people will go to the dark with Zhao Hongyu.
For such a situation, Zhang Tie is also happy to see it.
At least, he didn't have to worry about the Mohicans.
In addition to the Mohicans, there are also a number of tribes that are allied with the Mohicans, who form a small group of interests.
The main idea of this small group is to crack down on all people and organizations that are not conducive to Zhao Hongyu's rule, and make every effort to maintain Emma's status as queen.
All of this was made by Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law.
You say, in a certain way, this old father-in-law can also be regarded as a talent.
Of course, the Indian tribes he was wooing were originally tribes living near the city of Manhattan.
As for the Indian tribes near Quebec and Lake Ontario, the 'Black Bears' are not yet very interested in accepting them into their 'royalists'.
However, Zhang Tie believes that as long as he finds the 'black bear' and talks about it, and lets him know the powerful relationship between Lu Dao, then Zhao Hongyu's old father-in-law will definitely know what Lu Dao should do.
After all, if the Indians are united, they have a great deal of power.
If they support Zhao Hongyu, it can be regarded as a check and balance for genetic people.
At the same time, it is also possible to suppress the Europeans together with the genetic people, so that they do not dare to have any ambitions.
It is precisely because of the integration of the Indians, as well as their support for Zhao Hongyu and Emma, that the Indian Asan, who are not very loyal among the genetic people, have always felt the coercion very strongly.
Therefore, these genetic people Ah San are very honest and dare not be disrespectful.
Overall, the development of the Manhattan area is still very smooth.
However, the undercurrent contained under its surface prosperity and stability is impossible to know if it is not a high-level one.
First of all, the greedy clergy from Europe are a big problem, but now we can start to deal with them.
Therefore, these clergy will no longer be a problem.
At the same time, the problem of piracy, which Zhang Tie and Song Hu had been concerned about, has now begun to become more and more acute.
However, Song Hu's fishing boats have not yet prepared a sufficient number, so for the time being, they can only let these guys be arrogant for a while.
And now Zhang Tie's entire energy is focused on dealing with the European priests.
Once the clergyman's troubles are resolved, they can begin to contact Song Hu to deal with the pirates who are now becoming more and more rampant.
Now these pirates in the waters of Manhattan have been rampant to the point of intruding into the offshore waters from time to time and clashing with the fishermen of Manhattan, which Zhang Tie cannot bear.
The majesty of the Great Song Empire, how could it be trampled on by these pirates.
Absolutely not! (To be continued.) )
