Since Zhao Hongyu decided to start his trip to the East, everything in Manhattan has begun to move around this theme.

Seventy-two warships were docked densely on the Manhattan Pier, bringing great shock to those European labor workers.

The three heavy battleships were enough to make them stunned.

Especially the dense muzzles on both sides of the warship.

All of them show the powerful artillery power of the battleships, and declare the powerful combat power of the battleships.

With such battleships guarding the waters of the empire, what enemies can come and provoke?

No matter who it is, it is purely seeking death.

After feeling and seeing these warships with my own eyes, the European labor workers working in Manhattan all had this idea in the hearts of them.

They were all sighing at the power of the empire's military power, and after comparison, they felt the weakness of the European countries.

It seems that they really don’t know the depth of the pirate incident last year.

To the outside world, Zhao Hongyu and the others said that because of the pirates, the imperial capital in the hinterland of the Americas felt that the military strength of the crown prince's territory was insufficient, so they sent a royal fleet to enhance the sea defense force.

These warships are basically warships that the Empire is serving.

No one doubts about such an excuse.

It avoids a small problem.

It is already spring now, and since I decided to go to the east, Zhao Hongyu felt that he didn't need to delay it.

Some things are solved earlier, and they are always better than late.

Besides, the empire's territory has expanded a lot now, and the population is still somewhat insufficient only by cultivating the virtual world.

Once it takes too long, the money spent is also very large.

Now Zhao Hongyu needs to expand the population in a short period of time to supplement the gaps in various parts of the imperial territory.

Therefore, it became a top priority to get a population of Chinese blood from the Eastern Ming Dynasty.

Think about it. I have arrived in the American continent for three winters and two summers.

If you do it, it will be a full two years.

However, the population of the empire, the Chinese people have not yet exceeded 500,000.

Even if people from other ethnic groups are added, the empire's population is only more than one million.

However, the European labor population who work and live in the empire has exceeded one million.

This does not count the hundreds of thousands of black slaves and hundreds of thousands of European prisoners.

It can be said that the Chinese population is still at a disadvantage in the Americas.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu and the others must think of ways to make up for such disadvantages.

Years ago, Zhao Hongyu accumulated funds for a year. In the end, he only cultivated 77,000 Chinese-born genes.

At this rate, the population of Chinese people cannot increase too much within five years.

Even five years later, because the coal and iron ore resources in Ontario City can be exchanged for a lot of funds from the virtual world and used to cultivate genetic people.

But it can be predicted that it will not make the population exceed the three million mark.

What is the concept of three million people? It is basically worse than Portugal.

Even the Portuguese of this era had a population of four million.

There is no reliable population. The empire talks about construction and development.

Moreover, the entire American continent is so large that a mere millions of people cannot control the entire America.

This is a very dangerous thing.

If one day Europeans know the reality of the empire, they will definitely be in trouble.

Therefore, it has become very important to get people from the East to come to America.

The reason is very simple. After calculations by Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Professor Liu, if the itinerary in Dongfang is smooth.

Then it only takes one year to add almost 2 million people to the Americas.

After all, the current disasters are constantly coming, and there are many refugees and bankrupt people.

2 million unsafe dangerous refugees can still be sold to themselves by the Ming Dynasty.

The number of people with a population of 2 million is greater than the amount of people who are nurturing genes in a year using space-time trading machines.

Don’t look at it. Zhao Hongyu has been in the Americas for two years, but the population of Chinese genes is only a few hundred thousand.

But if the Ming Dynasty can be settled and convinced to sell refugees to themselves, the Chinese population can grow by 2 million in one year.

What a great thing this is.

With these 2 million people, Zhao Hongyu could fully establish 200 settlements on the American continent, each of which had 10,000 people.

Although 200 settlements cannot control the entire American continent, at least North America can control it steadily.

No matter what, it is better than what we are here now.

At that time, let Chinese-born people go to these settlements to serve as officials and let them manage immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.

I don't think there will be much trouble.

You should know that the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were actually very easy to manage.

As long as they divide the land and land themselves so that they can see hope, they will not cause trouble.

This is much better than that of Europeans.

Chinese are the most hardworking and best-managed ethnic group in the world.

How could Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan, who are Chinese, not know this?

Although France has sent Louis XIII as an envoy to the American Song Empire.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu and the others also analyzed the intention of Louis XIII's visit this time.

However, Zhao Hongyu did not want to delay his trip because of the coming of Louis XIII.

Anyway, let Zhang Tie handle the matters on Little Louis XIII.

I think Zhang Tie can handle it very well.

I just hope that I can provide assistance here, but there is no difficulty in this.

As long as the French can come up with collateral, aid is not a problem.

Even if the French want to turn against each other in the future, they can still have a normal excuse for themselves to invade Europe, right?

But now, it is more important to go to the east and get population.

Moreover, Zhao Hongyu did not only want to get the population from the Ming Dynasty during this trip to the East.

If the situation is possible, even Vietnam, Siam, North Korea and Japan's population cannot be brought back.

At that time, the Chinese-born genes will be the first-class person, and the Ming Dynasty will be the second-class person to manage immigration from other countries, otherwise they will simply use immigration from other countries as slaves.

After calculations like this, it may not be possible to break the population on the American continent within a year, and it may not be possible to break the 4 million mark.

At this rate, it only takes five years. By then, the population of the Song Empire in the Americas can reach the 20 to 30 million people he boasted about.

Of course, after the population is too high, some hidden dangers will also arise.

But that's all for the future.

In front of you, everything is still mainly about increasing the population.

Who made the empire control too much land now, but not enough population to use and occupy?

This is really impossible.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu and the others could not be picky about anything.

Unless they develop in a dead state, they use genetic people to develop for decades.

But how could Zhao Hongyu wait for such a long time?

This is very unrealistic.

Besides, Professor Liu is right. Since this era has come, you must always go to the East to experience it.

Even Zhao Hongyu could go to the north of the Ming Dynasty and experience for himself whether the "My Qing Dynasty" was as enlightened and powerful as those "bricks" and "beasts" in later generations said.

Manhattan Pier

Teams of privateers lined up in neat rows and stepped onto their respective battleships.

Zhang Tie and a group of civil servants from Manhattan City also came to the dock to see him off.

Zhao Hongyu, Zhang Tie and others exchanged greetings here. Zhang Tie told Zhao Hongyu to be careful.

The black bear also came to the dock, and he was here to send Emma.

And the widows from Samu's family also came to see Sarah off.
