On the other side of the Caribbean, Chelsea led the fleet like a bamboo, and the good news came back to Manhattan one after another, which made Zhao Hongyu very happy.

Song Hu and Professor Liu also returned to Manhattan from Ontario City, and met with Zhao Hongyu to tell him about their development during the year.

In short, everything is developing steadily and fundamentally in a good direction.

"Your Highness, we have to take our time in cultivating genetic people to increase the population. The price of genetic people of Chinese descent is too expensive, and we can't cultivate too many people at once. As for the genetic people of other germs, there is no need to breed them in large quantities for the time being, after all, there are too many of them, and the system of space-time traders will give danger warnings again. ”

In Zhao Hongyu's mansion, Song Hu and Professor Liu were communicating with him.

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he nodded and sighed: "Yes, the genetic people of Chinese descent are our foundation. Although some genetics are cheaper, there are too many of them that can be dangerous for domination. I think there is a tipping point here, and if we break through this tipping point, it is very likely that other genetic people of other germlines will have riots or uprisings to overthrow us. ”

Zhao Hongyu expressed his guess.

Regarding Zhao Hongyu's speculation, Song Hu and Professor Liu agreed very much.

However, if they cultivate Huaxia gene people, they can't cultivate too many people now, so they can only slowly accumulate little by little.

At the end of this year, the number of Chinese genetic people has increased by less than 300,000.

That's a year.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that some of the foundations of the empire have just been built.

Coal, the bulk of the revenue, has only been established this year, so the income is not too much for the time being, and its cost is huge.

"So, ah, Your Highness, we need to look from the outside for an opportunity to increase the population.". Song Hu and Professor Liu glanced at each other, and after making eye contact, Song Hu said to Zhao Hongyu.

"Oh, do you have any proposals?" , Hearing Song Hu say this, Zhao Hongyu suddenly came to his senses, and he knew that Song Hu would say such a thing, and he must have his plan.

Zhao Hongyu has always been very concerned about increasing the population of the empire.

After all, there is still a large area of the vast land that the empire now controls.

Those lands are of no use if they don't increase population control.

So in order to actually control those lands. Zhao Hongyu needs a large population to build towns and villages in those no-man's lands.

Only in this way will he be able to complete the actual occupation of the Americas by the Empire, and not just on the map.

Population has always been Zhao Hongyu's heart disease.

Although a small number of people on the European side were added to the empire and became citizens of the empire.

But such people are in the minority after all.

Zhao Hongyu has always been cautious about Europeans becoming citizens, after all, they are not like genetic people.

So, most of the Europeans within the empire. They are all free laborers.

Now, of course, it's more prisoner labor.

More than Europeans were black slaves, who were now found in all corners of the empire, especially in the estates on the outskirts. The lords of the manors would use these black slaves in large numbers.

But even so, the empire still has a large gap to meet the needs of the population.

And those uninhabited land, can't be cheaper than those prisoners and black slaves, Zhao Hongyu will get these lands unless he is brainless. given to these people.

You must know that now Zhao Hongyu has given some land to the Moxican people, and the rest of the land is given to all the genetic people of Chinese descent.

Somalis and Gurkhas, but also the French. He didn't give it at all.

And the distribution of land to the Mohicans, this is mainly because of Emma's face, and the Mohicans are the first Indian tribes to join the empire, and the empire needs to set a model.

On the surface, Zhao Hongyu has a plug-in and can cultivate gene people.

But it takes a lot of money to breed genetic people, and it can't be done without money.

At the same time, in order for the city to develop, it also needs to buy a large number of building materials from the space-time trader, so it is impossible to invest all the funds in cultivating genetic people.

Therefore, the number of genetic people that can be used to cultivate each month is actually pitiful.

If it weren't for the 77,000 genetic people they cultivated at one time at the end of the year, then the number of genetic people this year would not even exceed 200,000.

"Tell me what you think. If it's from Europe, I don't think it's enough, there are already a lot of Europeans in the empire, and if there are more, we won't be able to control it. ”

Zhao Hongyu said very seriously to Song Hu.

"Don't you know what to do, now the entire empire has a population of 330,000 Chinese, 20,000 Somali genetics, 50,000 Gurkhas, and 40,000 Indians, and the total number of genetics is less than 500,000. However, the number of prisoners and laborers in Europe has exceeded 700,000, which is not a small number. ”

"Of course, the Indians, numbering more than a million people, could offset the threat posed by the Europeans. After all, the Indians and the whiteskins don't deal with each other, and we can take advantage of this. ”

Zhao Hongyu told Song Hu some data of the census, so that Song Hu had an intuitive understanding.

The number of genetic people, in fact, is still at a disadvantage in the territory controlled by Zhao Hongyu.

"Your Highness, is there any trouble for you here?"

Hearing this, Song Hu's face tightened and asked.

Professor Liu behind him didn't care about letting Song Hu immediately propose to go to the East, and he also showed a concentrated look.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "It's hard to manage after the European population increases, but fortunately, those Ah San are serious and have destroyed many small church organizations, because these Europeans will always secretly worship God, which is a very troublesome thing." ”

Yes, before the Chinese New Year, the brave Indian Asan, according to the tip, cracked many small organizations. These organizations are all made up of Europeans, and they always secretly preach the message of the Church among the European community.

The Empire, which had always had a very strict grip on the Church, was of course going to be destroyed.

But while destroying these organizations, it also gave Zhao Hongyu a wake-up call.

That is, the belief of Europeans in the Church is definitely not something that can be erased in a day and a half.

You must know that faith is a very magical thing, in which a person who is determined will not change even if he dies.

Manhattan now has the largest European population, and if you don't handle it well, it will cause big trouble.

Zhao Hongyu is very clear about the church's fucking.

Because of the oppression of the empire, it is worth noting that the church can now only secretly carry out its activities underground.

If one day the European population made up the majority of the empire, the church would definitely jump out and make trouble.

Now the European population of the empire is mainly subject to the laws of the empire, so most people avoid the church, and they are not willing to give up the high salary in the empire, so the church is not going well.

But in any case, these European husbands have been exposed to God and the church since childhood, so they are not averse to the church in their hearts.

These are all hidden dangers.

Nowadays there are high salaries, as well as draconian regulations to regulate these people.

But as time goes by, after these people make money, they will inevitably start looking for spiritual sustenance again, and then this kind of thing will explode in a geometric form.

"Your Highness, in fact, I think our Abyss Church should appear on the table, teaching us that we can't fight against it by law alone, and only organizations that are also faithful can fight against it."

Song Hu was also deeply worried about this, because he knew all too well the horror of the church.

Especially when people can do crazy things for the sake of their faith, that's the main thing.

Zhao Hongyu nodded silently when he heard this, and now he has nothing to do.

The problems of the church were now before him, and it was impossible for him not to solve them.

"Yes, I plan to let the Abyss Cult start preaching on the table after the New Year, and provide them with some technological products as much as possible to show as a miracle. The church doesn't have that, I don't dare say in Europe, but I'm not going to give them a shred of soil here. ”

The Abyssal Church?

Religious organizations?

Faith?

Professor Liu on the side was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know anything about this matter.

After all, this matter was formulated and implemented by Wang Shan before he came to this world.

Therefore, it is normal for him not to know the way.

"Your Highness, my lordship, what are you talking about? I've heard you talk about the churches in Europe, isn't it possible that this church is causing us trouble? Professor Liu asked with a serious expression. If the church is looking for trouble, we need to pay attention. Now that there is a large population of Europeans in the empire, if someone makes trouble in the name of faith, it can really cause a lot of trouble. ”

Even Professor Liu is very cautious about the church.

It can also be heard from his words that Professor Liu is deeply wary of the European Church in this era.

Hearing this, Song Hu explained to him.

After listening to Song Hu's explanation, Professor Liu said: "Yes, the church must not give them a foothold in the empire. Those people in the church are very ambitious for power, and if they are allowed to gain a foothold here, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil, and when the time comes, they will put themselves above your highness, and become the emperor. ”

Professor Liu reacted immediately. (To be continued.) )
