Because of the news from Zhao Hongyu's side, Zhang Tie was worried about his Royal Highness's itinerary in the East. It's a pity that because the distance is too far, Zhang Tie feels very powerless about the danger that His Highness is about to face.

However, even in the face of such a situation, Zhang Tie felt that he should do something.

Don't look at Manhattan, it is not as vigorous as Song Hu's side to develop heavy industry and minerals, but Manhattan relies on the development of the financial industry, and its energy is not small in the Song Empire.

At the same time, in addition to the three major cities, the 'township chiefs' who were sent out by Zhao Hongyu at the beginning have also started their urban construction in the central and western regions, and after more than a year, they have begun to bear fruit.

Today, there are 12 large and small cities on the American continent.

If Zhao Hongyu can raise his administrative level and have the ability to open up again, then the Song Empire will have more cities.

Most importantly, in addition to controlling Manhattan, the financial city of the Song Empire, Zhang Tie also led the development of the Caribbean and South America.

Before Zhao Hongyu left the Americas, he expelled the Spaniards and Dutch from the Caribbean and South America from their colonies.

In other words, the entire American continent, North and South America, has now been completely controlled by the Song Empire and has become the territory of the Song Empire.

In addition, Wang Shan arrived on the west coast of the American continent, which made the empire's tentacles begin to extend to the entire American continent.

Theoretically, the current American continent, as far north as Alaska and south as Ushuaia, was already an empire.

As long as there are enough people, then cities on the American continent will appear like spring after rain.

But the problem is that the development of the empire is now a little slow because of the lack of population.

Nowadays, everything in the empire is thriving. There is no room for error.

Among them, the most important and crucial thing is to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Zhao Hongyu, and not let him have any dangers and accidents.

Otherwise, the development of the empire would definitely come to a halt or even be turbulent because of this.

After all, because Zhao Hongyu has a cheating weapon against the sky, the population needed by the empire must be produced in large quantities through Zhao Hongyu.

Once he is finished, then the system will take back the open permissions, and then the Chinese population on the side of the Song Empire in the Americas will no longer be able to get any growth.

Really. This highness didn't know how to be careful at all, how could he take the risk himself.

Zhang Tie had a headache about this.

Perhaps, he should select a group of troops and let them go east from Australia to provide some support to His Highness.

After Zhang Tie slowly withdrew his gaze from the map of the World Realm, he thought secretly in his heart.

He knew that Zhao Hongyu could continue to cultivate genetic people from the virtual world to fight, but this was also a prerequisite.

That is, in Zhao Hongyu's virtual account, there must be money.

Once there is no money in his virtual account, then it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to get help from the virtual world.

This is very important.

Don't look at the American continent. always traded with the virtual world, and provided Zhao Hongyu with an endless stream of funds.

However, the commodities of trade always have to be accumulated together before they can be developed with the virtual world. It is impossible to trade all commodities in total. Let's do it piecemeal.

If you do that, you won't be able to sell for a lot of money.

Therefore, in Zhao Hongyu's account, there will always be a problem of insufficient quota for a period of time.

If only he were in the East at this time. Wouldn't it be a problem to encounter such a problem...... The more Zhang Tie thought about it, the more worried he felt.

"Someone's coming!"

Therefore, Zhang Tie felt that he could not delay like this any longer, and he had to sell a large number of materials to fund His Highness's account. Add some funds.

After all, the war in the East is not the same as in the Americas.

There is never a shortage of people in the East, and it is quite normal for a battle to exceed 100,000 people.

For example, when they established the Song Empire, there were not many people in total, including the British, the Spaniards, and the Dutch.

Although the Iroquois did make a lot of moves during the capture of Quebec, the Iroquois' technology was too low to be taken seriously.

The East is different.

In the East of this era, although cold weapons were used, firearms in the army also appeared.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes on His Highness's side.

On this side, he has to provide some funds, and at the same time, he has to send a group of troops to the east, hoping to relieve some pressure on His Highness.

In fact, Zhang Tie knew that the highness he was worried about had already obtained 100,000 taels of gold from the Japanese people. And with this batch of gold, thousands of genetic people of Chinese descent have been cultivated, and his strength has been replenished.

At the same time, he also used some puppet army groups of the Japanese to fight, and hired a group of murderous mercenaries from Portugal. At this time, Zhao Hongyu can be said to be a strong soldier.

For all this, Zhang Tie is impossible to understand.

"My lord, is there something wrong?"

Hearing Zhang Tie's call, the secretary who was working outside the door pushed the door and walked in.

Zhang Tie asked, "How many materials are there in our warehouse now?" ”

The secretary was stunned when he heard the Governor's question, because in normal times, the Governor did not pay much attention to such trivial matters.

I don't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, but today the Governor actually asked.

Although he was a little confused, in the face of Zhang Tie's inquiry, the secretary still replied: "There is a record from the secretariat, and it is a list sent by the material department a few days ago. ”

Zhang Tie nodded: "Report it to me." ”

He wanted to see how much of Manhattan had stored supplies and how much they could sell for.

"My lord, before the winter of this year, we have stored 1 million cubic meters of yellow pine and 1.6 million cubic meters of oak...... At the same time, three tonnes of gold were mined this year. ”

When the secretary reported, Zhang Tie listened and calculated.

According to what the secretary said, Zhang Tie roughly calculated that if all these materials were sold to the virtual world, they would probably be able to add more than six billion funds to Zhao Hongyu's virtual account.

With these funds, if you want to come to Zhao Hongyu's side, you can greatly relieve the pressure on funds.

More importantly, this fund can cultivate a lot of Chinese genetic people.

Come to think of it, His Highness will not miss this opportunity.

Moreover, if you have money in hand, you don't panic, even if Your Highness is in trouble, having this money can help him easily avoid difficulties, isn't it?

Today's Manhattan has passed through the stage when it first sold furs.

Now, although they are also doing fur trade with the virtual world, this business is no longer a big deal.

More often than not, agricultural products and precious metals, as well as coal from Ontario City, are the main trading commodities.

Because he comes from another time and space, Zhao Hongyu still attaches great importance to the environment and animal protection.

Although he does not prohibit hunting, he does not allow indiscriminate hunting and killing.

In this way, the wildlife resources on the American continent can be greatly guaranteed.

Besides, the trade in these animal resources is no longer possible to bring a lot of income to the empire, is it?

The population and territory of the Metaverse are ten times larger than those of another similar space-time, so the resources required are also ten times greater.

Therefore, the resources on your own side can be completely consumed by the other party.

Especially on the side of the Celestial Empire in the developing virtual world, coal, gold and timber are all products that are in short supply on the other side. It can be said that they will have as much as they want, and as long as the price is right, they will continue to trade with them.

In such a situation, the trade in the fur of wild animals is not very important now.

In this case, Zhao Hongyu simply gave up such a bloody trade and began to plan for his future grandchildren.

Professor Liu is very supportive of such an approach.

Because this ensures the population and survival of wild animals, so that their children and grandchildren can also have rich animal resources to use.

Although there is no benefit in the short term, as long as more than 200 years have passed, then the benefit will be revealed.

At that time, the descendants of the Song Empire will definitely be proud of the decision of their ancestors.

"What's going on with the fishing company lately?"

Zhang Tie was relieved a lot after having a number in his heart, and began to ask about the fishery company.

Fishing is also a very important and well-developed industry in Manhattan.

After all, fish that are rich in substances and protein for the human body are indispensable for the owners of Manhattan, a city of more than two million people.

Every day, Manhattan's privately owned fishing boats, or those owned by Umbrella Company, go out to sea or enter the port. Every ship that enters the port is full of a boatload of sea fishing.

And these sea fish will be digested by the huge population market, and it is not even enough.

Originally, Zhao Hongyu planned that the fishing industry could also be used to trade with the virtual world world to open up a source of wealth for himself.

But to everyone's surprise, the fish caught by the fishing boats here in Manhattan were consumed by the locals as soon as they came ashore, and it was impossible to leave a little bit to trade with the virtual world.

This surprised Zhang Tie.

Fortunately, there are also timber and precious metals, Quebec agricultural products, and Ontario coal, otherwise I don't know how the trade with the virtual world will continue. (To be continued......)
