Although it has just experienced the war in the British colonies, and the empire has begun to attack the Caribbean.

But the people who live in Manhattan don't see the slightest sense of tension and insecurity on their faces because of the war. They still do what they have to do every day, especially the British people who work here.

As if, the fall of the British colonies had nothing to do with them.

Actually, it really doesn't matter.

The benefits of the British colonies could not be enjoyed by small people like them.

So even if it is taken under the control of the Song Empire, there is nothing.

On the contrary, after the Song Empire took possession of the British colonies, if cities were established in Pennsylvania and Virginia, then there would be more jobs, wouldn't it?

Now there are more and more Europeans entering Lanxiang Technical School, and everyone is constantly changing their lives and environment through their own efforts and learning.

For them, of course, they want to have as many jobs as possible.

At the same time, the shops and residences of the Chinese people in Manhattan have been renovated with the efforts of their owners.

When the Europeans who didn't understand asked, they realized that the road was going to be a holiday.

Here in Manhattan, there is no Christmas or European holidays, and the empire strictly forbids Europeans to celebrate European holidays, which is the only point that makes people more criticized.

Chinese New Year is a very unfamiliar word for Europeans.

Through the propaganda of the Chinese gene people in Manhattan City and the government led by Zhao Hongyu, they learned that this kind of festival is the most important festival in the year of the year, and it is also a festival from the ancient East.

And the empire gave a stipulation that there will be Oriental festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Double Ninth Festival in the future.

On these festivals, the shopkeeper gives the clerk a room. If you don't take a holiday, you have to pay three times your salary during that vacation.

Europeans are not interested in celebrating the holidays, but they will be paid a little more during the holidays, which makes Europeans very happy. Therefore, they have no objection to this kind of festival in the East.

Externally, Zhao Hongyu has always claimed that he is the remnant of a dynasty called 'Song' from the ancient Eastern Continent. They crossed the ocean to the American continent and established the continuation of the dynasty.

Although there are some loopholes in this, Europeans will not bother with these issues.

Anyway, as long as they have a job here in Manhattan and have money to earn, they won't bother with too many things.

Nowadays, the commercial street in Manhattan is full of strong 'New Year' flavor.

All kinds of New Year's decorations. Couplets, red paper, and other small goods began to appear on the streets and in shops.

The Chinese people's longing for the 'year' has also aroused great interest among Europeans.

Because as the Chinese New Year gets closer and closer, these Europeans working in Manhattan find that the attitude of the Chinese people they come into contact with is getting better and better, and it is becoming easier to get in touch with them.

You have to know the way of the people, earlier. The Chinese people are very arrogant.

For them, the European 'dicks', they usually don't take it too seriously.

The attitude of the Chinese old men seems to be because it has something to do with the upcoming 'New Year'.

So, Europeans working in Manhattan want to know the truth. What the hell is going on during the Chinese New Year.

Ordinary people are busy managing the New Year, and Zhao Hongyu himself is not idle.

After all, he has been in this world for two years and has spent two winters without festivals.

By the third winter, which is now, he has all the makings of the Year of the Dog.

And according to the reaction of the intelligence ministries. The people with the underlying Chinese genes are also very eager for the New Year.

Through the Chinese New Year, they can have higher expectations for the future. And summarize the gains and losses of the year.

For such a request, how could Zhao Hongyu object.

So, he took out a large sum of money from his small coffers to buy a large number of new clothes for Emma and Sarah, and at the same time found a large slave merchant from France, paid a deposit, and ordered a large number of slaves from him to give to Sara and Emma as gifts.

At the same time, he also wrapped a large sum of money as a New Year's red envelope for Sara and Emma.

In Manhattan, everyone was driven by the Chinese people, and everyone fell into the longing and expectation of the 'New Year'.

In the future, in the Song Empire, Europeans will also have Chinese festivals, and as for European festivals, let them disappear in the hearts of Europeans.

For the festival of Europeans, Zhao Hongyu is not cold.

As an angry youth and a Chinese idea, Wang Shan disdains the festivals of Europeans.

Therefore, he always instilled some extreme ideas and concepts in Zhao Hongyu, so that Zhao Hongyu would always be influenced by Wang Shan more or less.

According to Wang Shan's words, there is nothing good about European festivals.

It's better for our Chinese festivals.

As for the needs of Europeans, we don't have to think about it at all.

Besides, do they have a demand?

Also, the needs of Europeans in this era are indeed very simple, and they don't need anything for festivals or anything.

As long as they can have food, work, and money, they will be very happy.

Today's Europeans, in fact, do not have high expectations for life, and are far less difficult than later generations.

In addition to Manhattan, Quebec and Ontario City, as well as five other developing 'townships', are also preparing for the New Year.

Anyway, everyone is just having a good time.

The Indians were very interested in this, because they liked to be lively.

Since joining the Song Empire and becoming citizens of the Empire, the Indians under the rule of the Empire are very disciplined and systematic, and they have never been as presumptuous and lively among the tribes as before.

Now with such an opportunity, how could the Indians not be happy.

At heart, Indians are romantic and welcoming.

It seems that most of the uncivilized nations in the world have this kind of character.

It's just that with the progress of knowledge and civilization, this kind of character has slowly disappeared.

I don't know if this is the sorrow of mankind, or is it real progress?

With Zhao Hongyu's current identity and status, he doesn't have to rush to kill at all, and he does everything himself on the front line.

As in many novels, after the protagonist becomes emperor. You also have to participate in every battle, rush to kill, and fight the enemy on the front line.

In Wang Shan's opinion, such a thing is definitely an idiot's approach.

They would never let Zhao Hongyu do this.

Last year, there was no way, after all, their strength was not good at that time.

But now compared to last year, that's a sea change, isn't it?

Therefore, like last year, when it was necessary to rush to the front line, Wang Shan would never let Zhao Hongyu do it again.

So, whether it's attacking the British colonies, or touching the newly formed Imperial fleet, to attack the Caribbean.

Zhao Hongyu just listened to the report. Then just look at the files.

This kind of thing like fighting on the battlefield can be left to your subordinates.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Wang Shan and the others also began to make a summary of the year.

The framework of the Song Empire has been erected, and now it is enough to wait for development.

In the north, with Quebec City as the central point, construction can be extended to the northern continent, so that the entire northern territory can be controlled.

And because Quebec became the territory of the Empire, the Empire had no worries in the north.

At the same time came news from Quebec that the remnants of the Iroquois tribe. After a year of recovery, it has all been wiped out. The last of the Iroquois rebels, the last tribe to rebel, was finally overtaken and slaughtered by the army in the north.

At this point, there will be no more turmoil in the north of the empire.

And Quebec City. Forts and supply points along the course of the St. Lawrence River began to be built to replenish the large fleet in the future.

The Empire established a secret naval base in Ontario City, and in the future, the Navy's warships would be repaired or hidden, and they would be completed in Lake Ontario.

Lake Ontario was more than capable of hosting the Empire's heavy warships. In addition, there are many suitable places to moor warships on the vast lake and along the coast.

If you don't take advantage of this, you'll be really sorry for yourself.

And the course of the St. Lawrence River connects Lake Ontario to the Atlantic Ocean. The importance of this cannot be overstated.

Therefore, it is necessary to build fortresses and batteries along the coast, as well as security facilities.

Because if the enemy entered through the estuary on the east side of the St. Lawrence River, then he could go directly into the hinterland of the empire.

This is a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, the preservation of the course of the St. Lawrence River has become the most important thing in Quebec.

At the same time, Quebec also cultivated a large amount of fertile land during the year.

Combined with the commercial trade between the cities, the lives of the French citizens of Quebec City, now the French citizens of the Empire, were greatly improved.

Because life is better, their minds are stable.

The law and order situation has been maintained very well, and there have been no homicides for three months.

From this point of view, the French also began to accept the rule of the empire and saw themselves as members of the empire.

Of course, the propaganda of the foreign empire said that those French were the subjects of Sarah's territory.

After all, Sara still owns a lot of land in Quebec.

Although the empire controls eighty percent of Quebec's land, even so, the land in Sarah's personal name is no longer a few.

And she is also the nominal lord of Quebec, so these Frenchmen who have joined the empire will not be good for the sake of Sarah's face.

In particular, the propaganda department of the empire always spared no effort to promote Sara in front of Zhao Hongyu in Quebec, seeking better welfare treatment for the people in his Quebec territory, which made those French people very grateful to Dade.

But Sara herself knew that she hadn't done anything for them.

All the words said by the propaganda department are false......

But no matter what, whether it's true or not, Quebec is safe now. (To be continued.) )
