Chapter 1277 Anecdotes from America (5)(1/2)
Thirty hand-held tractors purchased from the virtual world.
Of course, these hand-held tractors are inevitably products of the virtual world of China in the 1960s. People like Chen Zhenbang can only do such things.
Although the appearance of these hand-held tractors has been renovated, the internal engine and some important components are actually rusty.
And because of its age and some other reasons, these thirty tractors are actually scrapped things.
But even so, Song Hu spent a considerable amount of money when he purchased these hand-held tractors from Chen Zhenbang.
I have to say that this guy Chen Zhenbang is really not an ordinary black heart.
However, even this hand-held tractor that is about to be scrapped is an absolute high-tech product in this era.
According to normal historical development, if we follow the development speed of this era, it will take at least two hundred years before humans can have such technology and manufacture such machinery.
Zhang Tie's expenses are quite large, so his authority limit is not left every month.
Therefore, I would never think of buying a hand tractor.
But Song Hu's side is different. Now, Song Hu's Ontario City has basically completed the factory's temporary plan. There is no need to increase the number of factories in a short period of time, so Song Hu has a lot of capital balance.
In this way, Song Hu bought thirty hand-held tractors and transported them to Manhattan by train to hand them over to Zhang Tie.
Of course, this does not mean that Song Hu will not develop in Ontario.
It’s just because there are too few workers in Ontario. Even after passing the training of Lanxiang Technical School, it will take a long time to graduate.
Therefore, the construction of the factory has just slowed down for the time being.
After all, according to the original idea, Ontario City was to be built into a heavy industrial city.
Besides, even if there are enough workers, a factory needs a considerable amount of money to be built.
Song Hu’s monthly authority limit is only 100 million yuan in virtual Chinese currency, which is far from enough for his plan.
Therefore, it is not impossible to delay it.
However, Zhang Tie didn't want to pay attention to Song Hu's plan.
In short, he had to arrange the matters on Song Hu by himself.
However, it is still a good thing to have thirty hand-held tractors here.
Leave five vehicles behind. Leave them to the Mechanical Research Department in Manhattan and let them study them carefully. Just try to build a machinery factory in Song Hu, Ontario, and you can thoroughly study it thoroughly.
The remaining twenty-five hand-held tractors are slightly modified and installed with plowing equipment to be used to reclaim the land.
But. Who should we hand over these twenty-five hand-held tractors?
After all, twenty-five hand tractors are not many.
But there are quite a few farms in Manhattan.
Needless to say, the Imperially controlled umbrella agricultural company. It definitely needs some.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu taught his father-in-law that the land in charge also needed some.
In this way, there are not many left of these twenty-five hand-held tractors.
There are the most farms in Quebec because Quebec is the empire's granary.
Finally, after some thought and weighing, Zhang Tie decided to hand over the twenty-five hand-held tractors, fifteen of which were under the Umbrella Company, and ten of them were handed over to Zhao Hongyu's father-in-law Black Bear.
As for other people, it is not within consideration.
Anyway, those farmers own a large number of black slaves, and these black slaves can also reclaim a lot of land every year, right?
Moreover, as a senior executive of the empire, he also has the right to allocate these prime minister tractors.
Zhang Tie, who had made up his mind, no longer had a headache about this matter.
When the time came to the evening, these hand tractors were finally loaded and unloaded.
After Zhang Tie gave the order, he asked someone to escort fifteen vehicles to the headquarters of the Umbrella Company, and ten vehicles were escorted to the farm controlled by the Black Bear.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Tie asked someone to issue a settlement certificate.
With this certificate, the laborers who come to work today can go to the Imperial Railways near the railway station to settle the money.
The Song Empire lacked everything, but it just didn't lack money.
Therefore, Zhang Tie did not intend to let these laborers work for nothing.
Of course, this is what makes the Europeans most pleased.
Here, they don’t have to worry about being bullied by noble men, nor do they have to worry about not giving money to work.
Anyway, as long as you work, you can get the corresponding reward.
This is the exact opposite of Europe.
In Europe, if you do things for nobles or landlords, you basically won’t get any salary. Sometimes you will even be troubled by the other party or killed.
It can be seen how desperate and dark Europe in this era is.
It’s no wonder that so many desperate Europeans have come to America in a crazy way using various methods.
Zhang Tie returned to Manhattan City with the rest of the people, and it was already evening.
However, Zhang Tie did not return to his residence to rest, but returned to the Governor's Office to continue his work.
Manhattan City is not the time a few years ago.
Nowadays, there are endless things to deal with every day.
Although most of them were handed over to the lower-level departments to handle, there were still many major issues that required Zhang Tie's consent.
Because the city of Manhattan has powered up, the Governor's Mansion is also equipped with old-fashioned electric lights.
After walking to his desk, Zhang Tie pulled the chair and did it, then reached out to pick up a document on the desk and read it carefully.
The content on the document is about Manhattan Fisheries, which mainly says that fisheries companies want to expand their scale, especially ocean fishing boats.
North of Manhattan, there are many shipyards in the Hudson River Basin.
In the early days, these shipyards mainly built warships.
Some of them are specially used to build fishing ships.
Because there is no overfishing in the American waters of this era.
Therefore, every time the fishing boat under the Umbrella Company goes to sea, it is a good harvest.
A considerable number of the fish caught were digested by the local residents of Manhattan, and some were sold to Ontario and nearby satellite villages and towns.
Only a small part was sold to the virtual world at a high price.
It can be said that basically the fishing company controlled by Umbrella Company is a company with good profits.
However, there are not many ships under its company name, only twelve.
Of course, these twelve are ocean fishing boats. Offshore fishing boats are not counted, because the fish caught offshore are sold to local Manhattan residents.
Only fish from ocean-going fishing boats will be sold to the virtual world.
Because there is no pollution and no overfishing, the deep-sea fish caught by Manhattan Fisheries is very popular in the virtual world.
In Manhattan today, fishery now accounts for a large proportion of trade in the virtual world.
In the early days, it was just the skin of the nutria, the forestry resources around Manhattan, the surrounding gold minerals, and some antique transactions of gold and silver coins during this period.
However, nutria cannot be over-hunting, and forestry resources cannot be over-hunting.
Gold can be sold, but this is a numerical one, right?
Gold and silver coins in this era can be sold as antiques in the virtual world, but considering the price fluctuations in the virtual world and the tolerance of the virtual world, this transaction cannot be done too much.
Therefore, fishery trade is now gradually becoming the focus.
As long as the control is good, the fishery transactions can be expanded for at least a hundred years.
You should know that in another time and space, the east and west coasts of America also had abundant fish resources.
However, since the Europeans discovered the Americas and began to immigrate to Americas, these immigrants from Europe have caused great damage to the fishing resources in America.
Unorderly fishing once led to the destruction of fish resources on the east and west coasts of America.
This kind of extinct fishing brings serious destructiveness.
Especially in the early nineteenth century and mid-twentieth century.
But it’s different now. There are no Europeans in America now.
As long as the empire has a good grasp of the degree, there will be no such situation where fishery resources wither.
Moreover, if the important control is good, then the fishery trade can definitely continue to move forward in the virtual world, which can be said to be a very long-term trade.
You should know that the historical development of the virtual world is the same as the world where Zhao Hongyu was originally. After entering the new era, due to some human reasons, various resources in the world began to shrink and become poor.
The same is true for fishery resources.
Under such a situation, it is no wonder that the deep-sea fish of the empire can be sold so well.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu and Zhang Tie and others both know the importance of environmental and resource protection, so I think the empire will not let those mistakes happen again.
