Thirty walk-behind tractors, purchased from the Virtual World.

Of course, these walk-behind tractors are inevitably the products of the 60s in the virtual world. With a person like Chen Zhenbang, he can only do such a thing.

Although these walk-behind tractors have been refurbished on the outside, the engines and some important parts on the inside are actually rusty.

And because of age and some other reasons, in fact, these thirty tractors are already scrapped things.

But even so, when Song Hu bought these walk-behind tractors from Chen Zhenbang, he also spent a lot of money.

I have to say that Chen Zhenbang is really not an ordinary black heart.

However, even this kind of walk-behind tractor, which is about to be scrapped, is an absolutely high-tech product in this era.

According to the normal historical development, if we follow the speed of development of this era, it will be at least more than 200 years before human beings can have such technology and manufacture such machinery.

Zhang Tie's expenses here are not small, so there is no amount of authority left in him every month.

Therefore, it would not have occurred to me to buy a walk-behind tractor at all.

But Song Hu's side is different, and now Song Hu's Ontario City, basically the temporary planning of the factory has been completed. There is no need to increase the number of factories in a short period of time, so Song Hu has a lot of capital balance.

In this way, Song Hu purchased thirty walk-behind tractors and transported them to Manhattan by train to hand them over to Zhang Tie.

Of course, this does not mean that Song Hu will not develop in Ontario City.

It's just that there are so few workers in Ontario that even if they are trained through Lanxiang Technical School, it will take a long time to graduate.

Therefore, the construction of the factory has slowed down for the time being.

After all, Ontario was originally conceived as a heavy industry city.

Besides, even if there are enough workers. But if a factory is to be established, it also requires a lot of money.

Song Hu's monthly authority is only one billion yuan of virtual Huaxia coins, which is far from enough for his plan.

Therefore, it is not impossible to take a break.

However, Zhang Tie didn't want to pay attention to Song Hu's plan.

In short, let him arrange the affairs of Song Hu's side by himself.

However, I have thirty walk-behind tractors here. It's still a good thing.

Leave five of them and hand them over to the mechanical research department in Manhattan, so that they can study them properly. It would be nice to be able to thoroughly study the factory that can build machinery in Songhu, Ontario.

The remaining 25 walk-behind tractors, slightly modified and equipped with ploughing equipment, were used to clear the land.

It's just that these 25 walk-behind tractors, who should be handed over?

After all. Twenty-five walk-behind tractors is not a lot.

But there are quite a few farms here in Manhattan.

Needless to say, the umbrella agricultural company controlled by the empire definitely needs some.

Meantime. The land that Zhao Hongyu taught his father-in-law to take charge also needs some.

As a result, there are not many of these twenty-five walk-behind tractors left.

And Quebec has the most farms because Quebec is the granary of the empire.

Ultimately. After some thinking and weighing, Zhang Tie decided that 15 of the 25 walk-behind tractors would be handed over to the umbrella company. Ten cars were handed over to Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law, Black Bear.

As for the rest, that's out of the picture.

Anyway, those farmers have a large number of black slaves, and these black slaves can also reclaim a lot of land every year, right?

Moreover, as the top of the empire, he also had the right to distribute these first auxiliary tractors.

Zhang Tie, who had made up his mind, no longer had a headache about this matter.

When the time came, the walk-behind tractors were finally loaded and unloaded.

After Zhang Tie gave the order, he asked fifteen cars to be escorted to the headquarters of the umbrella company, and ten more cars were escorted to the farm controlled by the black bear.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Tie asked people to issue a settlement certificate.

With this certificate, the laborers who came to do things today can go to the Imperial Ministry of Railways near the train station to settle the payment.

The Song Empire lacked everything, but it just didn't lack money.

Therefore, Zhang Tie does not intend to let these laborers work in vain.

Of course, the Song Empire, the most gratifying thing for those Europeans, is this.

Here, they don't have to worry about being bullied by the noble lords, and they don't have to worry about not giving money to the other party for their work.

Anyway, as long as you put in the labor, then you can get paid accordingly.

This is the complete opposite of Europe.

In Europe, if you work for nobles or landlords, you basically don't get any salary. Sometimes they will even be found fault with by the other party, or killed.

It can be seen how desperate and dark Europe is in this era.

It's no wonder that so many desperate Europeans have come to the Americas in various ways.

Zhang Tie returned to Manhattan with the rest of the people, and it was already night.

However, Zhang Tie did not return to his residence to rest, but returned to the governor's palace to continue his work.

The city of Manhattan is not the same time as it was a few years ago.

Nowadays, there are endless things to deal with every day.

Although most of them were handed over to the lower-level departments to deal with, there were still many major matters that required Zhang Tie's consent.

Because Manhattan was electrified, the Doge's Palace was also equipped with old-fashioned electric lights.

After walking to his desk, he pulled a chair and Zhang Tie went down, then reached out and picked up a document on the desk and looked at it carefully.

The document is about the Manhattan Fishing Company, and it mainly says that the fishing company wants to expand, especially the distant-water fishing vessels.

North of Manhattan, there are a number of shipyards in the Hudson Valley.

In the early days, these shipyards were mainly engaged in the construction of warships.

Some of them are dedicated to the construction of fishing boats.

Because in the waters of the Americas at this time, there was no overfishing.

Therefore, every fishing boat under the umbrella company goes to sea is a good harvest.

A significant portion of the fish caught is absorbed by the local population of Manhattan. Some were sold to Ontario City and surrounding satellite towns.

Only a small part was sold to the virtual world world at a high price.

It can be said that basically the fishing company controlled by the umbrella company is a very profitable company.

However, there are only 12 ships under the company's name.

Of course, these twelve are distant-water fishing vessels. Inshore fishing vessels are not counted, as the fish caught inshore are sold to Manhattan natives.

Only the fish on the ocean-going fishing ship will be sold to the virtual world.

Because there is no pollution, there is no overfishing. Therefore, the deep-sea fish caught by the Manhattan Fishing Company are very popular with the virtual world.

In today's Manhattan, fishing now accounts for a large proportion of the trade in the virtual world.

In the early days, it was nothing more than the skins of beaver rats, the forestry resources around Manhattan, the surrounding gold minerals, and some gold and silver coins and antique transactions from this period.

However, beaver rats should not be over-hunted. Forestry resources should not be cut down excessively.

Gold can be sold, but it's a lot, isn't it?

The gold and silver coins of this era can be sold as antiques in the virtual world, but considering the price fluctuations of the virtual world and the tolerance of the virtual world. You can't do much in this business.

Therefore, the fishing trade is now slowly becoming a priority.

As long as it is well controlled, then the sale of this fishery. It will take at least a hundred years to do it.

In another time and space, the east and west coasts of the Americas were also rich in fish resources.

But. Ever since the Europeans discovered the Americas and began to immigrate to the Americas. These immigrants from Europe brought great damage to the fishery resources of the Americas.

Unorderly fishing once led to the destruction of fish stocks on the east and west coasts of the Americas.

The devastating effects of this extinct fishing are severe.

Especially at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to the middle of the twentieth century.

But now it's different, and there are no Europeans in the Americas anymore.

As long as the empire has a good grasp of a degree, then there will be no such situation of withering fishery resources.

Moreover, if the important control is good, then the fishery trade can definitely be carried out in the virtual world, which can be said to be a long-term trade.

You must know that the historical development of the virtual world is the same as that of the world where Zhao Hongyu was originally located. After entering the new era, due to some reasons of human beings, various resources in the world began to shrink and become impoverished.

The same is true for fishery resources.

In such a situation, it is no wonder that the Empire's deep-sea fish can be sold so well.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie both know the importance of the Tao to the environment and resource protection, so I think the empire will not let those mistakes happen again.

Well, we want to expand and increase the number of distant-water fishing vessels.

Zhang Tie pondered for a moment and felt that this thing could still be done.

The Manhattan Fishing Company has only 12 distant-water fishing vessels.

That's not a lot at all.

Moreover, after more than three years of development, the empire now has more than six thousand warships.

Although there is still a lot of difference from the set target, there are other aspects that have to be considered.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie picked up the pen and wrote his meaning on the document of the fishing company.

The Manhattan Fishing Company's expansion plan was agreed to be implemented, adding 100 distant-water fishing vessels to be delivered within one year......

Bell bell bell!

Pulling a rope beside him, Zhang Tie's secretary soon pushed the door and walked in.

He gave the document he had prepared and given to his secretary.

"Send them to the Manhattan Fishing Company right away, and let them go to the Ship Division tomorrow."

The secretary left, and Zhang Tie picked up another document again.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law, the black bear, had already received a walk-behind tractor escorted to his farm by the guards. (To be continued......)
