Chapter 766: West Coast of America
Gold Mountain
It is the area named by Zhao Hongyu.
It is located on the western coast of the American continent, and is an important port city in the United States on another plane.
Now, this place has been occupied by the Song Empire, and it is clear that there is nothing to do with the United States.
Moreover, because of the existence of the Song Empire, the power of the Europeans has been driven out of the American continent, so it is still a matter of whether the United States will appear.
The Jinshan region, another time and space, is famous for the discovery of a large number of gold veins.
This part of this plane is no different from the other planes, and it is also rich in gold veins.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hongyu came to this area in the first place.
With this gold, Zhao Hongyu's capital can be greatly improved.
When the time comes, Zhao Hongyu has money in hand, and he can quickly develop the empire he built in this era.
Wang Shan's plan for His Royal Highness, of course, is very clear.
After all, Wang Shan has always boasted that he is not Zhao Hongyu's intimate dog, so how could he not be clear about his Royal Highness's thoughts.
If he doesn't know, then he can't be a qualified dogleg.
The gold mines in the Jinshan area have basically been found.
The Indians of this region are not very interested in gold.
The main thing is that they think of gold as a useless thing.
After all, bartering was the norm in Indian society.
Gold has no value.
Therefore, this is cheap for the empire and Zhao Hongyu.
Fortunately, the composition of the population in the Jinshan area is relatively simple and not so complicated.
Otherwise, gold will bring trouble.
Today, in addition to the vassal Indians in the Jinshan area, they are the genetic people of Chinese descent.
Mainly of Chinese genetic origin, Wang Shan's control over the Jinshan area. There is absolutely no doubt about that.
Although Zhao Hongyu planned to immigrate some of the population of the Ming Dynasty, that would be for the future.
Fortunately, at this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been immigrated.
Otherwise, it is this gold, which can produce a lot of turmoil.
After all, not anyone can remain indifferent to such an abundance of gold veins.
And now the infrastructure and city walls of Jinshan City are almost completed.
With such a guarantee, coupled with the deterrence of the garrison, even the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty came here. They didn't dare to think anything wrong about gold.
At the same time, in order to be optimistic about the veins of the gold mines, Wang Shan sent a lot of soldiers and let them build fortresses at the veins with the help of the vassal Indians.
Protecting which gold veins are protected from foreign invaders can be a win-win.
Jinshan City is not large, and it is mainly a place where the garrison and government personnel live.
According to the model of Manhattan City, Wang Shan built Jinshan City here in Jinshan.
Around Jinshan City. Various residential areas are planned, as well as public building areas.
As long as the construction of Jinshan is fully completed, then it will be another Manhattan.
On the east side of Jinshan Castle, on the passage to the Great Plains. Wangshan also built a number of fortresses.
Speaking of these fortresses, it is Wang Shan's proud work.
Because those fortresses were completely built by imitating the Hakka tulou in another time and space, which could not only garrison troops, but also have a defensive role.
Don't look at the small Tulou fortress is very inconspicuous, but with the military strength of the Indians in this era. Thousands of people may not be able to conquer it.
In addition, the garrisons in the tulou are also equipped with small-caliber artillery and muskets, which are cross-era weapons. Therefore, Wang Shan was confident that with these earthen buildings, he would be able to block the Indians outside.
In other words, if the Indians on the plains wanted to have the golden mountains now, the first thing they had to face was those dense tulou fortresses.
At the same time, Wang Shan also adopted the method of a Chinese soldier leading ten vassal Indians in the fortress group to reduce the pressure on military strength, and achieved great results.
It also brought the Chinese and the vassal Indians closer together.
Seeing that the Indians who came over from the Jinshan side of the vassals, as long as it took another year and a half, they would be completely integrated into the empire like the Indians on the Manhattan side.
Invisibly, this is equivalent to increasing the population of the empire, which can be regarded as a great thing.
From this point of view, Wang Shan is still a little crooked.
Of course, considering some problems of prevention, the ten vassal tribe Indian warriors led by each of the Chinese genetic people were selected from different tribes.
This greatly reduces the danger of their tandem, and it can be said that Wang Shan is very thoughtful.
In addition to the troops of the Empire, foreign soldiers are also treated equally, regardless of the amount of food and drink.
Therefore, those Indian warriors were very moved.
It should be said here that the Indians are actually very simple.
In their simple cognition, those who are kind to themselves are friends, and they can entrust their lives.
If it is not good for them, the enemy will fight, then they must fight hard.
And this kind of non-discriminatory approach of the empire happens to be the practice of friends.
Therefore, the Indian warriors who came from the vassal area of Jinshan were basically willing to die for the empire.
If nothing else, there was meat in three meals a day, and it was very delicious.
The empire also issued them with beautiful clothes, and at the same time there were 'witch doctors' to treat them, which was a heavenly treatment.
In addition, schools have also been established on this side of Jinshan, so that the children of the vassal tribes can enter the school to study.
What children learn is not knowledge, but brainwashing education.
Every day when the brainwashed children return home, they pass on their thoughts to everyone in the family.
By such means, it was impossible for the vassal Indians not to be loyal to the empire.
Moreover, after they became vassals of Jinshan City, their lives also underwent earth-shaking changes, which all the Indians who came from the vassals felt firsthand, and it was impossible to fake it at all.
What kind of life did they live before?
What kind of food are you eating?
Now they live in sturdy concrete houses. It can withstand the cold winds of winter, and you no longer have to worry about freezing to death in winter like in previous years.
And here in Jinshan City, they can make money with their own manual labor, and they will get more if they do more.
The people here are very fair.
The wages they earn every day can buy enough food for their families to eat, and even have a surplus.
Moreover, there are many kinds of food in Jinshan City, and it is not as monotonous as before.
At the same time, there are all kinds of seasonings that they have never seen before, and the food made from those seasonings is very delicious.
That's all. The Indians, who came from the vassals, also made up their minds to be with these imperial people in Jinshan City.
Actually, at one point, the Indians are not stupid, are they?
Today's Gold Mountain, like the city of Manhattan in the early days, is full of construction sites in full swing.
It can be said that everyone here is working, and there are no idle people at all.
Here, if there are lazy people, they will definitely be despised by everyone.
And. If you don't work here, you won't be able to survive at all.
If you don't work, you don't have money, and if you don't have money, you don't have food, it's a very realistic thing.
Meantime. The Indians look down on the most people who are lazy and don't work for nothing, so on the construction site of Jinshan City, you can see the figure of working Indians everywhere.
There are even some Indian women. It also appeared on the construction site.
For women to work, Wang Shan has no objection at all.
Although they are not as strong as men, they can do what they can. You don't have to do the heavy lifting.
For example, doing laundry for everyone, or cooking for everyone.
These Indian women can still do it.
And the fact that women can work here in Jinshan has also won great favor and reaction from the Indians.
For the Indians who came from the vassals, their own women could also make money, which was equivalent to buying more food.
It's almost late autumn now, and winter is coming.
So, they plan to buy more food and groceries, and spend the first winter in history without fear of cold.
Moreover, there is also a thick pair of cold protection on this side of Jinshan, and these Indians also plan to buy more to wear.
So, they all want to work hard and make more money.
However, no matter what a man does, he will earn so much in a day at most.
No matter how much you have, you have to think about it.
But with a woman it's different.
Although it doesn't matter if they are paid less, after all, this is considered an extra income.
The Indians were also patriarchal, and in their opinion, it was good for women to earn an extra copper plate for work.
Originally, they were worried that the empire would not want women to do things, because in the thinking of the Indians, the status of women was not very high, and it was impossible to do things like men.
Unexpectedly, the Empire agreed.
And also arranged for those women to do what they were good at, giving them a chance to make more money.
All of a sudden, the Indians were excited.
In addition, there was a great enthusiasm for work.
Everything on Jinshan's side is developing little by little according to Wang Shan's plan, and it is very smooth.
As long as it is late autumn next year, it is estimated that the construction of Jinshan City will stabilize.
At that time, it was the time when Wang Shan led the army to sweep away the surrounding situation and pass through the entire west coast.
To know the road, the West Coast is not just about building a Golden Mountain City...... (To be continued......)
