After a lot of hard work, Zhao Hongyu finally disposed of all the materials he had accumulated in Manhattan for four months through the sale of time and space traders.

And when Zhao Hongyu finished dealing with it, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Gollum!

Since he returned to Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu found Wang Shan and they discussed some plans. At the same time, he kept dealing with the materials that had been backlogged for a long time, and Zhao Hongyu didn't even have anything to eat.

Now that everything has been dealt with, Zhao Hongyu suddenly felt a feeling of hunger in his stomach.

"Hehe, I'm a little hungry." , Zhao Hongyu smiled embarrassedly.

Wang Shan and Zhang Tie didn't have anything, because they themselves were a little hungry now.

"Send someone back and ask Emma if they've eaten, and if not, come out and eat with me. I'm going to go for a bowl of ramen, but I haven't eaten it in a month. ”

Swallowing his saliva, Zhao Hongyu gave Wang Shan an order.

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll send someone back to ask." , Then Wang Shan whispered a few words to the genetic guards behind him, and the two genetic people rode away.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu and the others began to ride towards Manhattan.

Sitting on horseback, Zhao Hongyu checked the balance of the virtual account in the space-time trader.

More than 1.54 billion yuan.

Ha Luha, this time I can move up the level of civil affairs.

I hope it can give me a better function.,Don't cheat on your father.。

Closed the virtual account and withdrew, Zhao Hongyu's face was full of joy.

"Your Highness, after you have disposed of all the materials you squeezed, there is a lot of money in your account." , Wang Shan leaned up at this time and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Zhang Tie's estimate is good, a total of more than 1.54 billion yuan." And if I want to move up the civil level, I need to break the 100,000 mark, and I've already placed 30,000 people on the other side of Lake Ontario. We already have a population of more than 10,000, so I only need to train 60,000 people to move up the civil administration. ”

Hear the words. Wang Shan said: "Your Highness, you can't ignore the battle damage. While you've left 30,000 people behind at Lake Ontario, haven't 20,000 of them already made their way to Quebec? I'm worried about losses, after all, war is no joke. ”

Then, Wang Shan continued: "And don't forget, Your Highness, that cultivating genetic people will have a chance of failure. A bad system will fail to cheat, and your money will be wasted, young master. ”

Hmm, Wang Shan's reminder really makes sense.

"Then I'll breed more genetic people. In short, try not to fail. Zhao Hongyu said helplessly to Wang Shan. After all, the probability of failure in the cultivation of genetic people, he Zhao Hongyu can't control it.

The group quickly returned to Manhattan, where the two genetics who had been sent out to find Emma at the gate were already waiting.

When the two of them saw Zhao Hongyu and his party galloping over, they shook the reins in their hands and rode up to meet them.

"Your Highness, the Queen has already had dinner. She told us that you don't have to worry about her, that she and the Sarah woman could play by themselves in the evening, and that you would just be allowed to eat dinner by yourself. ”

Zhao Hongyu nodded and said, "In that case." Let's just ignore Emma. Thinking that she had someone to serve in the castle, she must not be hungry. ”

Subsequently. The group went to the market in the port.

"Yo, Your Highness, you're back."

After Zhao Hongyu and the others walked into the noodle restaurant, the little boss of the noodle restaurant looked up and bowed down with a happy face.

"yes, just came back. I'm a little hungry when I'm done, so I'm here to get something to eat. ”

Zhao Hongyu sat down on his own. He responded with a grin.

The little wife of the small owner of the noodle restaurant came over with a smile on her face, and quickly placed the teapot and cup in front of Zhao Hongyu.

"Look at the head, put more beef in the ramen noodles." Zhao Hongyu refused to serve, and said loudly after pouring himself a cup of tea.

"Okay, I'll make you a dough." After the boss answered, he began to slap his face.

The street outside the noodle shop is full of pedestrians, and it is still so lively.

The little boss's wife was busy wiping the table or adding firewood to the stove.

I can't see it, but the little boss is quite happy.

"Your Highness, the port of Manhattan has recently seen more and more merchant ships coming and going, but the port construction of our wharf is still winter, so there is no way to start construction, so it is obvious that the wharf is a little stressed now."

Wang Shan and Zhang Tie sat on Zhao Hongyu's side on the left and right, and after sitting down, Zhang Tie told Zhao Hongyu about some of the problems he encountered in Manhattan now.

"And Your Highness, you've gone to Lake Ontario again, so we don't have a source for materials, and I'm having a headache about it."

Zhang Tie said this for no reason, you must know that a lot of the development of Manhattan relies on Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Hongyu's space-time trader.

Building materials, such as cement and bricks, can be purchased with a space-time trader and transported to the city of Manhattan.

And this thing can only be used by Zhao Hongyu.

In other words, if Zhao Hongyu leaves, then this kind of building material will no longer be available here in Manhattan.

At the same time, there is a situation that is not very good in addition to this.

That's some of the things that have been collected, and there is no way to sell them.

Because buying and selling, Zhao Hongyu himself must be here, but if he leaves, there is no way.

This can be regarded as a small bug that needs to be considered in Zhao Hongyu's development.

"Isn't the dock capable of berthing ten ships at the same time, why isn't it enough now? It's only been half a year, and it's been developing too fast. ”

Zhao Hongyu sighed.

Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly: "Who said it wasn't, our development here is too fast." This is something that no one thought of at the beginning, originally we thought that the dock we are using now should be enough, but now it seems that we thought it very poorly. ”

Zhao Hongyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying, "It's winter, and we can't start construction." Let's wait until the spring, when the spring we will expand the docks, anyway, there will be enough manpower. ”

Zhao Hongyu agreed to Zhang Tie's plan for the expansion of the wharf.

"Well, the money in the virtual account now. I can't buy building materials just yet. I must first consider raising my civil service level and letting them live in the Great Lakes region, where even the Iroquois would not be underestimated with a population of 90,000. ”

Zhao Hongyu also told Zhang Tie about his own arrangements.

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's current arrangement, Zhang Tie has no objection.

Anyway, it's winter, and we can't start construction with materials.

And now that His Highness has returned to Manhattan, there is nothing to worry about with him here.

"By the way, Zhang Tie, are those goods of the umbrella company enough now? Now that the trade is so fierce, I'm worried about which goods are sold out, right? ”

Zhao Hongyu asked.

"yes. It's almost. Zhang Tie nodded and replied. Originally, I was worried about what I would do if I ran out of goods and your highness wouldn't come at that time. But don't worry about it now, after all, Your Highness is back, aren't you? ”

At this time, Wang Shan, who was sitting on the left side of Zhao Hongyu, opened his mouth and asked, "Zhang Tie, how are those pirates cooperating with the gangsters controlled by the intelligence department recently?" Is there any good development? ”

After leaving Manhattan for more than a month, Wang Shan paid the most attention to this matter.

Because he has studied it with Song Hu and Zhang Tie, if these pirates are used well, they can be regarded as a great weapon in Manhattan.

Moreover, they can also take advantage of the pirates. Get Manhattan's most scarce ship on the sea.

Hearing this, Zhang Tie smiled proudly. Then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It's not bad, in the month you've been away, the pirates have attacked dozens of merchant ships, and we've bought seven or eight Galen ships from them. ”

Hearing Zhang Tie say this, Zhao Hongyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh, is the plan going so smoothly? According to your words, we already have more than ten sea vessels on hand, right? ”

Now Zhao Hongyu is not thinking much about the army issue. After all, now that the army has basically taken shape, as long as the money is used to cultivate genetic people.

The biggest headache for him is the problem of the sea vessels, because they haven't solved it yet.

And if Zhao Hongyu wants to rise. Then the ocean must not be abandoned.

But if he doesn't have enough warships at his disposal, he can't talk about dominating the seas at all.

Boat, boat, Zhao Hongyu's biggest headache now is that he doesn't have a reliable sea force in his hands.

But it's not bad now, although there is still a long way to go before he dominates the ocean, but after all, he has more than a dozen ships under his command in this year's time.

"Let's continue to work with the pirates, after all, our shipyard can't build big ships now, can we?" After Zhao Hongyu was excited, he calmed down and said to Zhang Tie.

As soon as Zhao Hongyu's words fell, Wang Shan interjected and said: "It's been more than half a year, why can't our shipyard build ships, this can't work." And those ships we bought from pirates would cause a lot of trouble if they were recognized in the future, wouldn't they? ”

Wang Shan expressed his concern, while Zhao Hongyu frowned.

Yes, Wang Shan's worries are not unreasonable.

The pirates plundered the merchant ships that came to trade and sold them to them.

However, there are some unique things about these ships, and you must know a lot of people who have been sailing the seas all year round.

Therefore, there is a high probability that it will be recognized.

If such a thing really happens, it will have a bad impact on Manhattan, and then it will cause great trouble.

"Hmm, Zhang Tie, you have to pay attention to this. I think it would be best if we could solve this little problem. So after Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, he turned his head and reminded Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie saw that Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were a little worried about this, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already considered this problem and have already started to solve it." ”

Zhang Tie's words made Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu curious.

"How did you solve this problem?" , Wang Shan couldn't help but ask.

Hey

Zhang Tie smiled and said, "I sent all the sea ships that I bought back from the pirates to the shipyard. Those carpenters can't build big ships, but they can still refit them. And through refit, those people can also get some ship data, and when they are proficient, they can start building ships, right? ”

This method of dealing with it is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Hearing Zhang Tie say this, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan glanced at each other, and at the same time secretly thought in their hearts.

"That's right, Zhang Tie. What kind of ships did the pirates sell us? Zhao Hongyu asked.

Zhang Tie replied: "It's not a very good ship, there are the Spanish Sanyu clippers, the double-deck Galen ships, and the Dutch commercial and war dual-purpose sea ships. Zhang Tie said the types of boats he bought during the month. He continued: "Through the modification of these ships, the genetic people in the shipyard have obtained first-hand data and are able to build medium-sized triangular sail clippers. ”

"Oh, you're able to build a new ship." , this made Zhao Hongyu very satisfied, after all, this proves that Zhang Tie's efforts are not in vain, and the craftsmen in the shipyard are constantly improving.

Zhang Tie nodded and said, "Yes, this kind of boat has been built and refitted, and the company has begun to use the new boat for fishing." The small fishing boats of the past have been phased out, and the company no longer uses them. Speaking of this, Zhang Tie paused for a moment, and then continued: "But I think it won't take long for this kind of medium-sized triangular sail boat, because there are still large fishing boats that can be built by then, isn't it?" ”

"Alright, that's all for later. Now if you have a medium-sized boat, let's use it first, after all, a medium-sized boat can also fish, and it can catch a lot more fish at a time than a small boat, isn't it? Wang Shan scolded Zhang Tie with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu thought of other things in his heart.

Although it is said that the gangs under the control of the intelligence department, your cooperation with the pirates is quite smooth. And in the hands of the pirates, they also bought sea ships, but this alone was not enough.

With only a dozen sea vessels, it is obvious that they want to control such a large area of sea, which is unreliable.

And when he takes control of Quebec, the Atlantic estuary of the St. Lawrence River must be defended by warships. Otherwise, the unwilling French warships would definitely come in from the river.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand the number of sea vessels it owns in a short period of time.

At the same time, with the expansion of their own territory, the territory of coastal defense will also expand.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the growth of the number of ships under my command will not be able to keep up with the speed of territorial expansion.

"Your noodles are good, please use them slowly!"

Just as Zhao Hongyu was thinking wildly, a large bowl was placed in front of him.

The fragrant ramen is ready, and a thick layer of beef slices is placed on top.

Zhao Hongyu was moved by his index finger, and immediately took his thoughts back.

"Eat noodles, eat noodles, eat first and fill your stomach to think about those troubles." , Zhao Hongyu looked left and right.
