Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang were at the small bar and talked about what kind of business could be done here in Kyushu. Then Zhao Hongyu had a number in his own heart, so he turned to talk to Li Xiang about various oriental gossip.

About two hours later, Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang separated, and the two left the tavern separately.

After Zhao Hongyu left the tavern, he returned directly to the mansion, and at the same time called his lieutenant and asked him to immediately start the construction of the Eastern Trade Branch of the 'Umbrella' Company, as well as the Kyushu Branch of the Imperial Ministry of Commerce.

Now that Kyushu has fallen under his control, there are some things that cannot be delayed.

After arranging these things, Zhao Hongyu found Emma and Sara and told them to prepare that they would have to leave Nagasaki the next day and go to the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, Zhao Hongyu has been delayed for a long time on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and he doesn't want to continue to delay.

Moreover, there are not many days left until the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu didn't want him to catch up with the Ming Dynasty for the festival when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

If you get to this point, it will be really sad enough.

Because during the Chinese New Year, the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, from the emperor to the small errand servants, had to take a holiday and rest.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is likely to be on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and he will not find anyone to do anything at all.

Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, Zhao Hongyu was ready to leave here as quickly as possible when the matter on the Kyushu side was almost resolved.

Anyway, he will leave the genetic people to garrison here, as long as they are here in Kyushu, then Kyushu will definitely develop smoothly and slowly.

At the same time, Li Xiang's refuge gave Zhao Hongyu a strong guarantee for the Kyushu Navy.

It can be said that even if you are not here in Kyushu, there is nothing to worry about in Kyushu.

Tokugawa Kayo as governor of Kyushu. Manage all the government affairs of Kyushu, and the Japanese people are not exclusive to her. Therefore, many government decrees have been implemented very smoothly, and there has been no violation of yin and yang.

And the military power is separated, and no one can dominate the family.

Hattori Kizo and Yuji Kawabe, as well as Iguchi Shuzo, and these people divided the Japanese army that had taken refuge under Zhao Hongyu.

At the same time, they all have their own little abacus in their hearts.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all that these people will unite and have a destructive impact on the stability of Kyushu.

Know the way. Political and military division, and at the same time, Zhao Hongyu is also corrupting the Kyushu Japanese people with various commodities that can be seen and touched. Under such a subtle influence, how do Tokugawa Kayo and their influence on Kyushu?

After all, these people don't have the means of Zhao Hongyu, and they can't bring the same life to the people of Kyushu.

Emma and Sara were very happy when they learned that they were leaving with their husbands.

Truth be told, they're tired of life here in the Wakoku.

Because there's nothing fun here, and even the environment isn't much better.

Low houses, dusty streets.

Compared with the bustling and lively Manhattan in the Americas, it is also clean and tidy. It's like a garbage heap here.

If it weren't for the fact that the empire had hired Japanese people to build streets and paved concrete roads, and at the same time started to build Nagasaki's central business district, Nagasaki would not have become so lively.

Nagasaki is on the eastern side. It's also a lively port city.

However, compared to the city of Manhattan under the Song Empire in the Americas, Nagasaki is very rubbish.

Not to mention that there are already some upscale neighborhoods in Manhattan City that are electrified. Even the trams began to operate.

At the same time, the city of Manhattan has low sewer pipes in all directions, and a harbor that can accommodate 300 ships at a time. They are still being expanded.

The population of the city of Manhattan, in particular, had already exceeded the 2 million mark by this time.

Even Quebec has exceeded 700,000 people, and Ontario City has exceeded 1 million people.

Counting the other cities under construction, the population of the entire Song Empire was almost five million.

Of course, the most populous of them were the Indians, as well as the Europeans who came from the other side of the ocean to make a living.

The proportion of ethnic groups of Chinese descent under the rule of the empire is still lower.

However, because Zhao Hongyu opened up some permissions, those genetic people who have administrative status, such as Song Huwangshan, they regularly cultivate Chinese genetic people every month to increase the proportion of the number of ethnic groups of Chinese descent to the empire.

As a result, the number of Chinese people is steadily increasing every month.

It was only a matter of time before it became the most populous ethnic group in the empire.

The bustle and bustle of Manhattan will not be clear to those who have not been there.

But as long as you have been there, you will definitely fall in love with this open city of the Song Empire.

Many maritime merchants from the Arab world and from Europe basically have this idea.

When they arrived in Manhattan, they immediately fell in love with the clean, tidy, and patchwork of urban environments.

Especially here, the people are not as good as the people at the bottom of the European or Arab worlds, and at the same time, the sea is very moral.

This made many businessmen who have been to Manhattan very curious.

In fact, they know that when people can make enough money through their own abilities and abilities, few people will do that kind of illegal thing.

Because it's not worth it at all.

The seventeenth century was a time of change in which ignorance and enlightenment intertwined.

It still takes a long time for mankind to find the path of modern development.

However, because of the arrival of Zhao Hongyu, the seventeenth century of this time and space has undergone great changes.

The Song Empire of the Americas was born, and after it appeared at a shocking speed, it appeared in front of the eyes of the world with a strong neighbor.

Of course, only the Europeans know that the Song Empire is powerful.

Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire established diplomatic relations with the Song Empire and asked some information about the Song Empire from the Europeans, the Turks did not believe what the Europeans said at all.

Like what the Song Empire was very powerful, whether it was a navy or an army.

On the side of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Acknowledging that the Song Empire's army tactics were novel and very effective.

The warships in service in the Navy also look very fierce.

However, after all, the two empires have not fought, so they can only stay in the imagination of each other's strength.

Especially on the Ottoman Turkish side, they thought that the Europeans were exaggerating, and at the same time the Song Empire was somewhat decent.

In the eyes of the Ottoman Turks, if there is any army that is the most powerful in this world, then only the army of their empire is the most powerful.

You know, when they came to Europe. But the Europeans who beat it cried and called their mothers.

And the Europeans also called them the whip of God.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire was very proud of their own combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in this era was very vast.

Far larger than the Turkish Empire in another time and space, the territory under its control was much larger.

After all, this is still the seventeenth century, isn't it.

Because the communication technology of this era was not very developed, there was no way for all countries in the world to grasp and understand the situation in the Americas in the first time.

In this day and age. Only the Song Empire would have a shocking product.

When Zhao Hongyu decided to take his two wives to Daming the next day, the people here in Manhattan, who were far away in the Americas, suddenly found that there were several more big iron towers in the city and suburbs.

In fact. The construction of these towers has been going on for some time.

It's just that when construction began, these towers were not very conspicuous at all, and people did not think that they had any purpose.

So, no one cares about these towers.

But. It wasn't until the tower was built that people noticed.

However, there is still not much interest in these towers.

Because of the changes these towers can bring to their lives, the people of Manhattan are not only Chinese citizens. Others don't know the Tao at all.

In the eyes of these residents living in Manhattan, as well as those maritime merchants and European countries, in the eyes of Manhattan diplomats, the Song Empire in the Americas must have built the iron tower because there was too much iron ore.

Yes, in this era, because the smelting technology was not as developed as in later generations, people collected and refined iron products were not so sophisticated, and the iron production of various countries was not very high.

How can it be like in later generations, not to mention iron, just steelmaking is calculated in tens of millions of tons.

In this era, if a country is able to have tens of tons of iron billets per year, it means that the country is strong.

But look at the Song Empire, the quality of the materials used to build the iron towers is much better than the iron produced in their countries, and the hardness and resistance are much stronger.

No matter how they look at it, they can't see what kind of techniques people use.

Moreover, there were so many iron raw materials in the Song Empire that they could all use them to build iron towers instead of weapons.

Iron raw materials are still strategic materials in this era.

Because in this era, although muskets have begun to appear, the mainstream is still dominated by cold weapons.

Only on the Song Empire's side, because of the sharpness of muskets, would muskets be used as the main weapon of war.

But even so, the Song Empire would equip the musketeers with machetes and bayonets.

It can be seen that cold weapons have not yet withdrawn from the stage of history in this era.

Therefore, the demand for iron raw materials in various countries is still very large.

For the Song Empire's style of wasting iron raw materials to build iron towers, diplomats from various countries expressed contempt, envy, admiration, and other emotions...... (To be continued......)
