"Let's work hard and put all these poles up!"

Lake City, Ontario on the American continent.

There is a scene full of enthusiasm here, and the two-story building with a combination of cement and wood rises neatly.

Between these small buildings, a straight concrete road runs into the distance.

As the supreme military and political governor here, Song Hu's planning was entirely based on the later American small-town community.

He doesn't want to build any high-rise buildings, but he likes the scenery of a small town in the United States.

And it can also preserve the natural scenery as much as possible without destroying the gifts of nature.

In addition to the workers who built the houses, many people erected round wooden pillars on both sides of the street.

Everyone was very surprised, they didn't know what the purpose of erecting such a pillar outside the house was and what purpose it was.

But for the sake of wages, they don't care much.

Unlike the city of Manhattan, the city of Manhattan after the beginning of spring was heavily developed for farmland reclamation and the construction of highways connecting Lake Ontario to Quebec.

Lake Ontario, on the other hand, is heavily involved in the construction of residential buildings, streets, and public health facilities.

Lake City, Ontario and Quebec and the City of Manhattan, as well as other cities in development, have one thing in common: you don't see a single person doing nothing in these cities.

Everyone has something to do, and there is no one who doesn't do things.

The construction brought many jobs to the cities, much to the delight of the French and the British in the Empire.

They are not afraid to do things, they are afraid that there is nothing to do.

Because you can make money by doing things, and after making money, you can support your family.

It's simple, it's simple, isn't it?

The British in Pennsylvania and Virginia also took a fancy to the great development of the Empire, and the population began to pour in.

For these people who come to look for jobs, neither Zhang Tie nor Song Hu will refuse.

Many Brits who go to Manhattan never want to go back to Pennsylvania or Virginia.

Because compared to these two regions. Manhattan is like paradise.

This greatly annoyed the administrators of the two districts, but they were helpless about it.

Because if this continues, Virginia and the population of Pennsylvania will all go to the Song Empire. And they will become bare-bones officials, and then how will they complete the tax collection tasks assigned to them by the state?

And the Song Empire is too strong, and it's not a good thing for them.

Many far-sighted officials could even foresee the scenes of Pennsylvania and Virginia being annexed by the Song Empire.

But even if one of them sees this, they can't change anything.

Because they can't offer so many jobs and offer so much pay to attract the British public.

So. They simply couldn't stop the exodus of people.

Of course, it is not that no one has mentioned that it is to impose a blockade to prevent people from going to the Song Empire to find jobs.

But such a proposal was rejected.

Only an idiot would approve of such a proposal, and if such a proposal is passed, then the people will definitely be in trouble.

So, the British in Pennsylvania and Virginia can only watch this.

For all this, Manhattan's top administrator, Zhang Tie, knows it all.

For him. That's what he wants to see.

Because he knew that both Pennsylvania and Virginia would have to be annexed by the Empire sooner or later, and that it would be best if they could be done without bloodshed.

But how can it be done without bloodshed. To bring the two regions to their knees?

Economic warfare!

Yes, Zhang Tie thought of economic warfare.

First of all, the people of this era do not have a clear concept of the state. Therefore, it goes without saying that they are loyal to their respective countries. There's no such thing at all.

This gave Zhang Tie an advantage in using economic warfare.

If you have milk, you are a mother, and if you can make money there, you will be their motherland, this statement is not an exaggeration at all.

People who come looking for work. Except for a few who stayed in Manhattan, the rest were sent to Lake Ontario or Quebec, where more people were needed.

In addition to giving these people the opportunity to work, the civilian 'political commissars' of the intelligence department will also instill special ideas into the workers from time to time to brainwash them.

Therefore, these European people who entered the Song Empire basically regarded themselves as citizens of the Song Empire.

It's just that they haven't gotten their citizenship documents yet, but they believe they can do it through their own efforts.

And working in the Song Empire, they also enjoyed treatment that they had never had before.

The people here are friendly, full of hope and hope for tomorrow, and everyone is very motivated.

It's not the same as a dead Europe, or Pennsylvania or Virginia.

Here, as long as you follow the law, then you can get your own salary, and you have not been deducted at all.

No one will trouble you, so that you can enjoy the harvest of labor with peace of mind.

It was so comfortable to work and live in the city of the Song Empire.

There are no people who oppress themselves, and there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and any system will be publicized so that everyone can see it clearly.

Even the boss they work for will post an announcement showing the use of the food expenses he spends every week, so that they know that he is not cheating everyone.

In the Song Empire, they really felt that they were a person.

Once people have burst out of hope and longing, the energy and drive are definitely not what you can imagine.

For such a phenomenon, Zhang Tie and the others are very happy to see it come to fruition.

On the streets of Lake Ontario, after the columns of wood were erected, workers began to erect power lines.

Before these workers officially take up their posts, they will go through the surprise training of the 'Lanxiang Technical School', and basically master the basic skills of the type of work they do.

Song Hu and a team of genetic soldiers watched the progress of the workers from the side of the construction site, and he nodded with satisfaction after entering the end.

"My lord, we can try powering it up in a minute. If it succeeds, it will be a milestone for us. ”

His secretary smiled and complimented him.

"Milestones, not so. But with electricity, a lot of things get easier. This is true. ”

Song Hu squinted his eyes and said to his secretary after the engineering staff connected the wires.

Unlike the development in Manhattan, Song Hu bought a limited number of devices here, although they were all dilapidated and discarded equipment, but in this era, they are high-end products.

For example, log chainsaws, generators, and even built a small dam in a small waterfall and built a small hydroelectric farm.

Although the power plant does not generate much electricity, it still has more than enough supply for the newly developed Lake Ontario city.

With points. Chainsaws can cut logs much faster, much faster than manual labor.

As a result, the speed of building sea ships will increase significantly.

And with the lights, you can work at night, right?

Most importantly, in the coal mine attached to Lake City, Ontario, Song Hu purchased a set of automatic coal mining and transmission equipment through Chen Zhenbang in the virtual world, with which the amount of coal mined can be greatly increased.

These coals will continue to pass through Song Hu's authority. Sold to the virtual world.

It's a very lucrative business.

What's more, there is also a large iron ore deposit nearby.

That's worth a lot of money.

It can be said that with electricity, some modern equipment can be launched, and with electricity, production capacity can be increased.

It's all the beginning of a virtuous cycle.

It's a pity that Song Hu's authority as a township chief is too small. It would be better if his authority was raised a little.

The purchase quota of one billion yuan a month limited him.

If it weren't for the restrictions, Song Hu would even want to get the gunsmith out of it.

But it's impossible to get a multi-billion dollar dollar out of that thing, and the copycat research institute doesn't support it now.

Don't look at the equipment he has bought now. But they all cost a high price through Chen Zhenbang.

And these devices are still very old, belonging to the category of being scrapped, and the number of purchases is limited by the space-time trader.

"Notify the engineering staff. Let's try it out now. ”

After everything was ready, the secretary picked up the walkie-talkie, which had a signal of only three kilometers, and gave Song Hu's order.

After four or five people in succession, the order finally reached the small hydroelectric power plant.

The dilapidated machines began to work, the water of the cascade that had been intercepted began to spew down, and electricity was delivered.

Buzz!

Hey, it's on! It's lit up!

It's amazing!

The European and Indian workers exclaimed in admiration as they watched the street lamps light up one by one.

"Keep the power transmission for an hour, as long as it doesn't stop, then we can try the machines running the coal mine in the afternoon." , Song Hu said to the secretary beside him.

"What a big man." , the secretary answered.

Song Hu continued: "I need data on the loss of the machine, as well as data on the storage of electricity, and data on the loss of power during power transmission. ”

The secretary nodded again and again and wrote them down.

"Let's go, I'm going to the lakeside harbor and have a look, I've got a boat here to go on a trial voyage today."

Song Hu led the group out of the street construction site and instead came to the port where Lake Ontario was still under construction.

While this port is still under construction, a small part has already been built.

Song Hu walked into the dock on the side alone, and after ordering the door to be closed, he contacted Chen Zhenbang through the space-time trader.

Subsequently, in the dockyard, an iron ten-meter-long fishing boat appeared out of thin air.

When this kind of fishing boat appeared, a smile appeared on Song Hu's face.

"Ha Luha, if the scrapped fishing boats can be used well, they may not be able to control a huge area of the sea." (To be continued.) )
