In the blink of an eye, the cold winter has passed, and the chūn heaven has descended and everything has come to recover.

Zhao Hongyu's imperial development, after his civil affairs level was raised, has entered a period of rapid development.

The population under his command has reached 130,000. Of course, the population of genetic people in Manhattan is only about 10,000. Most of them are in seven settlements.

Song Hu and the five newly cultivated Huaxia gene people, one by one, went to the location in the plan and began to take root and develop.

It is precisely with their existence that Zhao Hongyu can now be said to be completely relaxed.

And because there are two people in Manhattan, Zhang Tie and Wang Shan, Manhattan has also changed a lot.

Simple mills, windmills and watermills, and some facilities for water polishing were all built during the Chūn day.

Wang Shan and they considered construction, which was completely different from Zhao Hongyu, and they used their authority to fully upgrade the infrastructure facilities. Allow Manhattan to solve the manufacture of some small goods on its own, instead of relying on buying from the time and space trader.

For their arrangement, Zhao Hongyu completely let go, and he also wanted to see what Wang Shan's construction design could bring to him.

For now, they're better than they have to do.

So since they are doing better than themselves, why should they stop them?

As the day fell, the city of Manhattan began to get busy.

The first thing to do is to build a city.

A large number of laborers have poured into Manhattan, but if you can endure hardships and have the strength, then you can find something to do here in Manhattan and get paid well.

As a result, the British from Virginia and Pennsylvania flocked to Manhattan in large numbers to find something to do.

In addition to urban construction, the Huaxia Gene people began to take the black slaves they bought in the winter to enclose land in the plains outside the Manhattan City Planning Area, and purchased wood, cement and bricks to build their own estates and farms.

Of course. The Farm and Estate Umbrella Company is also starting to work on it.

The people of Huaxia Gene basically bought a large number of black slaves in the winter, and now it finally comes in handy to feed them for a winter.

For a time, Manhattan and its surroundings were full of lively construction scenes.

Everywhere you walk in Manhattan, you can see the scene in full swing, and there is no place where there is no construction.

People in the city of Manhattan. You can feel the passion here, and the ever-changing changes.

Even the island of Manhattan, which is separated by a strait, began to cultivate land in Kaichūn and began to cultivate some of the crops that Zhao Hongyu had prepared.

At the same time, construction on Manhattan Island also began on the day of Chūn.

In addition to building houses, roads were built in both the city of Manhattan and the island of Manhattan.

These constructions made Zhao Hongyu spend money like running water.

Fortunately, trade with Europe is still ongoing, otherwise Zhao Hongyu and they really don't know how to stick to it.

And thanks to a lot of raw materials, you can get them all around Manhattan. Take logs, for example.

This thing is purchased from the Plane Trader, which is very expensive.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of wood on the American continent in this era. So this made Zhao Hongyu and them save a lot of money.

The port of Manhattan also began to expand, and Zhang Tie's plan was to be able to dock at least 50 ships at a time.

However, such a port will not be completed until the end of the year, and it will not have to be the same as in the 21st century.

Parma and his Foreign Legion had returned to Manhattan, where they had been sent to Manhattan Island by Zhang Tie to take care of the wounded who had been sent by the pirates.

Wait until you have the chance. The men of Parma would go to Europe, take over Sarah's estate in Madrid, and set about a concession.

And Parma, by virtue of his merits, already has such a low honorary title as a lord, not even a baron. But anyway, it's a good start, isn't it?

This gives Parma confidence in the future, after all, he has already seen the light of day.

You must know that a person like him has no chance of obtaining a knighthood in Europe.

And Parma got off to a good start because of his credit, which also made the other Europeans very hot.

These guys are holding back their energy now, hoping for another war, and then they will get the credit.

The thinking of the Europeans is different from that of the Chinese, which makes Zhao Hongyu a little funny and a little happy. It's funny that these guys don't die for this, and it's nice that these people can give them their lives.

The war between the Iroquois and the Quebecers was still scorching, but the losses on both sides were enormous.

The 20,000 Gurkhakies, after losing more than 6,000 men, left Quebec and returned to Lake Ontario.

These Gurkhas, under the leadership of Song Hu, began a low-key development.

Song Hu went to Lake Ontario and did not immediately breed genetic people. Instead, he used a billion yuan in cash to reclaim land to build a city, and invested in the development of weapons in the virtual small workshop.

Zhao Hongyu and Chen Zhenbang's small workshop can also be invested in by the township chiefs.

Because they are Zhao Hongyu's subordinates and have been granted permission, their investment can also be regarded as Zhao Hongyu's own investment.

With these investments, although there is no shadow of the too modern product, some local mining and steelmaking techniques have been developed.

With the indigenous mining, the gold mines in the Manhattan Woods began to increase production.

In addition, a high-quality iron ore mine and a high-quality open-pit coal mine were found on the side of Lake Ontario, which gave Zhao Hongyu two more ways to make money.

All the development is thinking about the direction of good.

And after the chūn day came, Zhao Hongyu received a piece of good news.

That is, the shipyard finally came up with a four-deck battleship with five 24-pounder guns, a speed of 15 knots, and these guys also secretly put the battleship on the bottom of the ship, and added four engines and propellers......

The battleship, which originally had a speed of fifteen knots, suddenly tripled its speed after the addition of engines and propellers.

It can be said that the journey from Manhattan to Europe that used to take 50 days can now be reached in 16 days.

However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, Zhao Hongyu needs to buy a large amount of finished diesel, and the consumption is very large.

Basically, if the battleship had turned on its propellers, it would have consumed 30 million yuan of diesel fuel each way from Manhattan to Europe......

But even so, Zhao Hongyu was very happy to accept the battleship.

If nothing else, this thing is definitely a sea giant of this era.

It's a pity that when Zhao Hongyu asked how long it would take for this ship to be built, the rabbit waved his scarlet forgiveness?

The process of building such battleships was cumbersome and time-consuming.

Basically, only ships can be built in a year.

The reason why this battleship was built in one winter is a very fortuitous thing.

In the end, there was no way, Zhao Hongyu could only give Zhang Tie an order to continue to increase the shipyard.

For this reason, Zhao Hongyu's little funds are basically used for development every month.

But no matter what, the appearance of the battleship finally convinced Zhao Hongyu a little.

Because, this made him see the hope of dominating the ocean.

Although there is only one now, it also satisfies him.

After calculating it, according to the construction rate of one ship a year, it will take at least thirty years for him to have the strength to dominate the ocean.

That is, of course, if there are a hundred shipyards here in Manhattan.

It's grandma's, thirty years!

It's scary to think about.

There are only a few thirty years in this life.

However, Zhao Hongyu obviously forgot that the time spent by these European countries in the rise of the Age of Sail was not decades or hundreds of years.

It is very unrealistic to want to dominate the ocean in a short period of time.

However, after all, Zhao Hongyu has a plug-in, so it is understandable that he has such thoughts.

Quebec! Pennsylvania! Virginia!

After dealing with the French and British, Zhao Hongyu decided to build at least 500 shipyards along the coast.

In this way, it will not take thirty years, but within ten years, he will be able to have a large number of battleships to dominate the seas.

Put aside Zhao Hongyu's plans in Manhattan, except for Manhattan and Lake Ontario. The five Huaxia gene people newly cultivated by Zhao Hongyu also arrived at their destinations.

These men began to establish a foothold in the middle of the Americas, in what would become Pittsburgh northeast of the Ohio River, Sandusky at Lake Erie, Detroit at Lake Huron, Vincentburg southwest of the Ohio River, and St. Louis at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers as far as the distance.

From this, it can be said that it will not be long before the entire central part of the Americas will be under Zhao Hongyu's control.

Of course, there is a premise in this, and that is that these five guys cannot be killed by the Indians. Otherwise, Zhao Hongyu's plan will have a small twist and turn.

But for now, the plan is still very smooth, after all, the construction of the five bases has begun, and these people have contributed more than one billion yuan of funds every month.

From this, it can be seen that these guys are not bad.

The methods used by these five guys are basically the same as the methods used by Zhao Hongyu when he first came into contact with the Mohicans, which is to use trade to open the hearts of the local Indians, and then slowly gain their friendship.

Sitting in Manhattan's own castle garden, Zhao Hongyu had a large map in front of him.

His gaze was fixed on Quebec, and then slowly moved down to Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Hum! As long as these few nails are solved, then the whole of America will be mine. Although there are still some Indians, and the west still needs to be occupied, it will not be a problem to give me a little time.

Zhao Hongyu whispered to Wang Shan beside him.
