The Great Iron and Steel Movement of the Inca Empire was in full swing. In the west coast region of South America, there was the first railway, and in this context, the Inca Empire was indigenous to

The popularity of the "Celestial Domain" is increasing day by day. With SF City as the center, a rich area with a radius of about 100 kilometers has been formed, which has become a representative of South American civilization.

Zhu Hao signed a treaty with Emperor Wayna and the Inca Empire behind him, and this area was legally determined to be owned by Zhu Hao.

In the name of the gods, Zhu Hao included this area in his territory...... In fact, signing this kind of agreement is not of much practical significance, it is more to appease people's hearts, so that the people of the Inca Empire feel that the Ming army will follow the rules no matter what they do, and they will reason with them even if they invade their territory.

This can also make them temporarily relax and think that Zhu Hao is not interested in their other territories. It didn't take long for Luo Fei to arrive in SF City again, this time as the crown prince of the Inca Empire.

As far as Zhu Hao knew, because of the arrival of the Ming army, there were great divisions within the Inca Empire, and Luo Fei wandered among the powerful, seeking support everywhere, and finally became the regent of the Inca Empire as a daughter.

This move also seems to have won the tacit approval of her father Vayina, and Luo Fei also has the support of many Inca nobles behind him, probably those nobles feel that Luo Fei has a good relationship with Zhu Hao, can be protected by the gods, and at the same time, a woman is in power, they are easier to control.

"We've found a lot of deposits, but they're all far away." In order to show her identity as the crown prince of the Inca Empire, Luo Fei was quite attentive in doing things for Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "I have sent people to check some of the mines you introduced before, and found that most of them have very low reserves, and some are even more far-fetched, and they are not worth sending people to mine at all." "Zhu Hao has been trying to find new ore veins in South America, but the progress is not good, the current discovery of an iron ore is about three hundred miles away from Shunfeng City, located in the middle of a mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the reserves are not ideal, the best way at the moment is to let the Inca Empire people organize mining, but Zhu Hao does not want to give the technology of molding.

After all, he has not completely tamed the Inca Empire at the moment, and as an outsider, if the Inca Empire masters the iron-smelting technology, millions of people will take iron weapons and rise up to resist, it is definitely not the scene he Zhu Hao wants to see.

Even if the Incas were to be given iron weapons, they could only be given by him, not by the Inca Empire to master the smelting technology on its own.

Luo Fei's face tightened, and said, "We are willing to offer more Sangku, we only hope that the gods will bring us more technology, after all, we also want to obtain divine weapons." "Sanku is corn flour.

In South America, corn is mainly ground into flour to make food such as wowotou, and now with the rice and flour brought from the Ming Dynasty running out, relying only on the rice and wheat produced on the American continent, the Ming people are not able to eat fine grains every day, and most of the time they have to rely on wowotou to satisfy their hunger.

Luo Fei did not hide her ambition to get iron-smelting technology, and now the people of the Inca Empire have seen that if they want to improve the strength of their race, they must have scientific and technological innovation, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask the Ming army for firearms, and in the eyes of the Inca Empire, firearms are artifacts that only gods can have, and mortals cannot master this technology.

But the Incas themselves had the technology to smelt bronze, and they knew that iron could be made by manpower, just as the new railroad used iron as the main material, and they were very eager to master this technology.

Zhu Hao said: "What you get depends on the guidance of the gods, and now you still have the responsibility of being a good believer to the gods." I need more people to come and help me open the mine, I didn't have enough manpower before, and I need you to send another 300,000 people now...... Around Tucheng, I will build two smaller cities again for the newcomers to live there. "Zhu Hao saw Luo Fei this time, mainly to ask Luo Fei for someone.

Now Zhu Hao controls the aborigines seem to be quite a lot, SF City alone has a population of nearly 200,000, but people hate it when they use it, you must know that the mining working environment in the mining city, coal city and other places is extremely bad, and you can't expect the same group of people to work in it continuously all the time, and you need to change people from time to time.

This is also for the sake of long-term development, and you can't waste people at one time! According to Zhu Hao's assumption, the working hours of each miner are four months a year, and the rest of the time is for them to farm and recover their mental and physical strength, from which he can select some essence to form an army.

Now Zhu Hao needs about 100,000 new miners, plus about 100,000 new lifu, in order to ensure that the industrial scale continues to expand and meet the demand for steel in all aspects.

In this way, Zhu Hao needs to have six or seven hundred thousand strong men under his command to use, plus the old and young behind these strong men, the number of residents in his territory should be maintained at more than one and a half million.

But now in his territory, the total population is more than 300,000 people, and the shortage is very large.

"We can't bring in any more people because we don't have enough people." Luo Fei didn't get the iron-making technology she wanted, so she naturally didn't want to hand over people to Zhu Hao.

If all the people are sent here, there is no need for Zhu Hao to send troops to destroy them, they themselves will destroy the country first, and now the top leaders of the Inca Empire are still strictly restricting the migration of people to the coastline, trying their best to keep the people in the territory under their jurisdiction.

Zhu Hao said with a dark face: "This is not to discuss with you, but to give an order." I have heard that some of your lords have united 100,000 soldiers and horses and are preparing to rebel against the gods.

"Go back and tell them that if you don't surrender to me, I'll send troops to kill them! Who will lead this country in the future can only be up to me, and you can't make your own decisions! Luo Fei looked at Zhu Hao with resentful eyes, but she really didn't move, and after a while, she stomped her feet and left with a sad face.

………… After Luo Fei left, Lou Suzhen walked out from behind the screen. She shook her head and said, "I didn't expect these aboriginal women to be so tough and look weird, it seems that even if they are of the same race, they are still very different." Zhu Hao didn't expect that Lou Suzhen would be interested in Luo Fei's appearance.

"Isn't it different? I think it's all about the same. Zhu Hao smiled,

"Looking at the officers and soldiers in the army, they all regard the women here as ordinary Han women." It is said to be different, but it's just that nobles like Luo Fei are different from ordinary people, even if ordinary women are different from the living habits of women in the Ming Dynasty, but the appearance and skin color are the closest, the men who followed Zhu Hao to the sea, whether they have a family or not, now have at least one woman from the Aztec or Inca Empire as a companion.

These women mainly make a fire and cook for them, and of course provide some help in the family atmosphere, and there will be communication with each other.

But Zhu Hao knew that the generals of the Ming Army looked down on these exotic women, after all, there were some difficulties in language communication, and there were many dialects within the Inca Empire alone, and the text was ...... Most of the officers and soldiers in the Ming army are illiterate, and they are not the kind of men who can take care of women.

It's not so much about marrying a foreign woman as it is about finding a maid or mother-in-law who is responsible for taking care of their daily life.

"Before the end of this year, we will open up the two mines that we have explored on our own in the south, and I will lead my troops to sweep around there, and in the next three to five years, we will build ten large cities on the west coast of the mainland, which are about the same as SF City, and the number of people in the jurisdiction will exceed three million, and those Franc machine people will be completely driven out of the New World." Zhu Hao and Lou Suzhen roughly explained their plans.

He can't stay in SF City all the time, time is of the essence for him, he needs to complete the climb of the technology tree in the shortest possible time, and the colonization of South America cannot be limited to such a small place.

As his territory expands, he will have more areas to collect taxes, more people to rely on him, and more territory for him to build cities and rely on them to defend against European colonists.

When everything is on track, his vision will no longer be limited to this corner of the American continent, and then he will conquer the whole world.

Lou Suzhen said: "The battle line is too long, and the concubine doesn't know how big the New World is, but if you want to conquer it all, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it in ten years and eight years." Three to five years, will there not be enough time? Zhu Hao nodded: "There are some primitive places that can only be conquered in the future, and now the main thing is to occupy the rich coastal lands, which will be used as a bridgehead to deal with the Francophiles."

"The expansion of the Ming Dynasty in the New World cannot be expected to build more railways to connect various places, and the transportation of goods mainly depends on ships, so you see...... Ships are being built in the south and north, and now we have more than 300 large ships alone.

"In terms of weapons, although steel production has been successfully increased, I still need to make more black and yellow powder to supply the needs of the army. Now everyone in the army has more than two firearms, and the number of artillery pieces is about 5,000......" Zhu Hao roughly told Lou Suzhen about his family background.

Only then did Lou Suzhen know how much Zhu Hao had done in the Inca Empire. The New World is like a treasure that has never been discovered, no one has ever developed iron ore in the past, and no one has used coal, and now hundreds of thousands of people are fighting for the same goal, which is much easier than when Zhu Hao was in the Ming Dynasty, to complete industrial accumulation.

"Da Ming's side, did Childe really ignore it?" Lou Suzhen threw out another question. After she came over, she helped Zhu Hao take care of administrative matters, and she was very clear about the dedication of the whole army to her hometown.

Over time, this obsession will deepen. Zhu Hao said: "If I can, I'm going to transport two boatloads of silver back, follow."
