When the weather is at its most clear, the sun is exuding its light and heat.In its reflection, the mountains are bright.

At the foot of the hill called Xiaohan Mountain, more than a dozen cavalry roared between the grass and the shrubs, scaring the birds and beasts on this land.These immediate soldiers wore ornate red silk tunics, all of which belonged to the guard of the United States.

Wu Guohao raised a well-made smooth-bore gun and choked.He was also a military, although he did not stay in the big week army for too long to go home to inherit hundreds of millions of property.But his gun was good.The gunshots rang, and a North American hare fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died.Another shot was fired, and another North American hare was shot, and his head exploded and fell to the ground.

The leader of the United States of America, Wu Guohua, smiled, handed the smooth gun to his entourage, and then took a smooth gun that had already loaded a deer-skin bomb, and smiled and said to Wu Guohao: "Eleven to nine, you are still two points behind."

Wu Guohao shook his head with a bitter smile, and also handed the smooth gun to his entourage, and smiled: "My gun method is already very good, I did not expect to be better than the seven brothers."If you were born in the West Song, you can keep the yuan."

Wu Guohua fiddled with his smooth gun, did not look for the target to fire, but while walking and laughing: "My gun is only flat, and I am old, my eyes are weak, and I can't count as a sharpshooter on this side of New Washington."

The United States of America is a society where everyone has guns, and playing with guns is a way of life, just like the grassland nation playing bows and arrows.If there is anyone in the world who can fight the number of Western Songby sharpshooters, it must be the United States of America.

Don't look at the country, which is only a few million people, but almost all adults are good players, men and women alike!

In addition to being good at playing with guns, the skills of using gunpowder to blast it in the United States of America are also quite popular – that is necessary for mining!

Horses also seem to be one of the necessities of life in the United States of America.

This is because the land in North America is vast and the industrial structure is a little deformed, basically only mining and agriculture.Mines, farms and ranches are very scattered on unusually large land.The traffic between them is by horseback.The price of horses is very cheap relative to the income of the North American people, so that every family can keep a few horses.

In other words, the people of North America not only have guns, but everyone has horses, and they are also good at fiddling with bombs.

At the beginning of the hot weapons era, such people can be called a fighting nation!

Wu Guohao's mind suddenly came up with a somewhat absurd idea, after the Great Zhou Republic unified the Chinese mainland, this United States Congress will not grow into a strong country that can fight with the big week.

This thought haunted his mind, lingering, and let him go to God.

“Sixteenth brother, 16th brother, what are you thinking?”

The smiling face of Wu Guohua came up and asked with concern.

Wu Guohao only found himself walking away from God, and smiled awkwardly: "Seven brother, the younger brother is here to talk to you about a way of one of the three heroes of the summer."

“Ah?”Wu Guohua stood still and said, “Don’t you want to talk about running a factory in New Yuezhou today?”

“Oh, it’s one thing to develop the East Coast and the three Xiongs of the summer.”

“Yes?”Wu Guohua still does not understand.

Wu Guohao explained: "The seventh brother is not aware of it, and today's American market is becoming more and more important for the big week and the East Song."

"That is, our America is rich in gold and silver."Wu Guohua said proudly.

Gold, silver, and brass are currencies!

Among the gold, silver, and brass produced in the New World, except a small part (15% of the total) went directly into the treasury of the Great Zhou Republic and the United States of America, and the rest became the profits of the miners and the wages of the miners.Subsequently, some of this part of the gold and silver copper will flow to the big week and the East Song Dynasty in trade exchange.

Because the Americas account for a very high proportion of the world's total gold, silver and brass, the purchasing power of the American market is particularly strong.Today's American Chinese people are more proud than the Arab tycoons of the future generations, and for the industry and commerce of the Great Week and the East Song Dynasty, it is simply the god of wealth.

In contrast, the traditional Western market is very disembodied.

And the huge American market is in the hands of the Great Zhou Republic!

That is to say, if the industry and commerce of the East Song United States want to grow and develop, it is up to the Republic of Great Week to open the American market!

This is definitely a fatal temptation for Jiangnan industry and commerce, the core of Dongsong.

"Seventh brother, our vision is to further make the market of the United States of America bigger!"Take advantage of this opportunity to encircle the Great Mongolia.Subsidies are provided by the Government of the United States to comptoirs that set up factories in the east to produce ordnance.The use of ordnance production to drive the development of other industries in the east to achieve the opportunity to gather the population.And the concentration of people will generate new markets and supplies.For the industrial and commercial industries of the Great Week and the Eastern Song Dynasty, the American market will become more important.

And the merchants of the East Song United States are mercenary!For them, as long as it is profitable, it is impossible to leave the East Song to join the big week.They are the nation of 18 states!The rules stay, the unfitness goes.”

This is actually the “first priority.”The great wealth of the Americas was used to buy the East Songs mercenary bourgeoisie, and also wrapped in the cloak of nationalism.

There are also huge loopholes in the "UML system" of the East Song Dynasty.The United States is somewhat like a confederation or a federation, and should be somewhere in between.The states of the United States were very powerful, and all had powerful militias.The Eastern Song Dynasty was always relatively weak, and after the death of the powerful leader of Wu Mei Mai, the later East Song Dynasty rulers were relatively weak.It does not control the 18 states.

In addition, the royal family of the Eastern Song Dynasty has a great deal of selfishness since the beginning of Zhao and Wu Meiji on the issue of the new Song continent.

The New Song mainland is not a dependent country of the United States of the East Song Dynasty, but the property of the East Song royal family!

Therefore, the gold tax on the new Song continent (the gold mine also found in the new Song mainland) belongs to the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty and does not belong to the government of the New Song Kingdom, but belongs to the emperor of the Eastern Song Dynasty!As for the king of the new Song Dynasty, he has always been the emperor of the Eastern Song Dynasty.

The huge amount of money was not used for the emperor's private consumption, but was used to build a new open house in the royal territory of the new Song Dynasty - the new Kaifeng Province is located in the southeast of the new Song continent, is a coastal port city, the specific location is about the future of Sydney.

In order to build a new open house, the East Song royal family can be described as blood.Not only are they used their power to designate the new Kaifeng as a place of exile for criminals.It also subsidizes the voluntary immigrants of the East Song people in the newly opened the palace with the new Song gold tax.Farmers are encouraged not only to emigrate, but also to traders and artisans.

After decades of unremitting efforts, the new Kaifeng House now has 100,000 households and 500,000 people.It has become one of the most populous state-level administrative areas outside the locality of Zhuxia.

Moreover, the new Kaifeng Province also has a relatively complete manual industrial structure, which is enough to maintain an overseas kingdom of self-sufficiency.

According to people familiar with the East Song politics, the purpose of the new Song kingdom, which was run by the East Song royal family, was to move the royal family to take refuge there when it encountered a crisis on the East Song mainland and could not survive.

“Is there such a big market in the United States of America?”For Wu Guohao's proposal, Wu Guohua did not seem confident, "the whole of the Americas of the Han people is only 8 million ah."

Immigration to the New World is not an easy task!

Even now, more than 80 years have passed since the discovery of the American continent, and the Han population on the American continent has only more than 8 million.

This is also achieved in the case of the birth rate of the Chinese in the Americas, which is much higher than that of the Chinese native Han in China!

This is partly because of the long distances and the high cost of immigration.On the other hand, many immigrants who dug in the new world will choose to return to their hometowns and return to the old mainland to live.It is a group of Han Chinese who have broken their gold mining dreams and have to stay in the new continent to become farmers.

However, there are more than 8 million Han Chinese in the American continent than there are 3 million Han people in the New Song continent.

“There are only 8 million now, and maybe 30 million in a few decades.”Wu Guohao is confident, "now the largest sailing ship is only 20,000 stone, decades later there may appear 30,000 stone sailing ship."The cost of shipping will also be further reduced.Perhaps more trade items suitable for shipment back to the big week and the East Song will be found in gold, silver, brass, and nitrite.

At that time, the importance of the American market to the Eastern Song and Umbo states will become even more prominent.”

In fact, another trade item suitable for long-distance shipping to the big week and the East Song will not be discovered until more than 50 years later.And this tradable product eventually became the fuse for the collapse of the United States of the East Song Dynasty... it was bird droppings!

Wu Guohao then told the general of the United States of America: "We expect the Mongol war to continue for decades, Europe, the West, North Africa, and even the geranium will be involved."The demand for weapons will be massive and long-term!And the profit margin of the weapons is so high that, if combined with the subsidies paid by the United States government, it can make the opening of factories in New Yuezhou and other places pay enough to attract tens of thousands of immigrants.And when artisanal immigrants gather in New Yuezhou, agriculture, logging, mining, and a variety of other industries will be driven.Perhaps we will find new gold, silver and copper mines in the vast east, and then we will attract more immigrants.”

Wu Guohua took a breath, "It's good to say... but the road to the east is difficult to go!From New Washington, you can't go on for months to get to New Yuezhou!"

There are no railroads across the North American continent, and there will probably be none in the next three or four hundred years.

Therefore, the future development of North America still depends on water transportation.But the Panama Canal, in the foreseeable years, was equally powerless to dig.Therefore, the bulk of cargo transportation from the west coast of North America to the east coast is generally carried out around the South American continent.

"There is no need to go," Wu Guohao had already made a claim, he laughed, "the immigrant can be a boat to the east."

“On the boat?“Around the South American continent?”Wu Guohua shook his head, "No, along the south of the west coast of the South American continent is the headwind, the ship is very slow, really want to go around for at least half a year... How much money does it cost to transport a person?"Few less without problems, really thousands, but it will be a loss.“The boat is for the dead!”

There is nothing around the South American continent, after all, they do not need to eat and drink, nor will they get sick.But the personnel can't do it, and the cost of taking a boat around the sea for several months is very high.

Therefore, if you want to develop eastern North America, the first thing to overcome is the problem of high transportation costs.

Wu Guohao had to find a passage that could carry a large number of Han Chinese to the east coast of North America at a lower cost.

“It is not necessary to detour from the South American continent,” said Wu Guohao, “can pass through the land of the eight countries on the other side of the United States of North America ... about seven or eight hundred miles to reach the port of the Sea of Merchants, and then change the merchant ships north to New Yuezhou.”

The so-called land of the eight countries is the Central American region, and there are eight Xiao surnamed dominion who have divided the land that occupies this narrow country.In addition, the Great Zhou Republic also established several directly under the jurisdiction of Central America.

Compared with the empty United States of North America, the eight countries of Central America are more prosperous.The population is larger, and agriculture and handicrafts are also more developed.However, the Han Chinese (Chinese) there is no majority, and most of the residents are local yin in Central America.

The Yin people are said to be descendants of the merchants who came from the Middle Plains East... but the scholars who came to the Americas did not find any evidence that they were descendants of Yin merchants.

There is some evidence that they have nothing to do with the ancestors of the merchants!

These yin-people technology is too backward, no bronzes, no bows and arrows, not even wheels.Their technology is much behind that of the merchants more than two thousand years ago, how can they be descendants of the Yin people?

However, these studies are not officially recognized by the general public.The official Zhou and the eight Central American countries, both of Central America's indigenous peoples, defined the indigenous peoples of Central America as "inferior", and also forced them to learn Chinese, abide by the customs of the Chinese people, and used "inferior" and "business" as their surnames.

This behavior has led to a lot of unnecessary confrontation.In the past 70 or 80 years, the eight countries inhabited by the Yin people have been in turmoil.

The number of people has also been greatly reduced due to war and epidemics.

But how to reduce it, the base of the Land of the Eight Kingdoms is placed there, not as rare as the Inferno in the territory of the United States of America in the north.So millions of people still live in the land of the eight Dominion.

So when Wu Guohao sailed in the big sailing ship arrived at the Silver Port, which is under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of the Americas of the Republic of Great Week.What he saw was a rather bustling, indigenous and Han-populated, and a little cluttered city.
