1850 American Gold Baron

"You did very well."

First, Liang Yao affirmed the work of Feier and the Ministry of Industry, and then he reminded Feier.

"If everything goes well, the Pacific Railway will be opened to traffic in September 1857, that is, one year and five months later. By then, more industrial products from the east and even eastern companies will enter California.

By then, California's industry will face an unprecedented severe test. I hope that by then, the Department of Industry will also be able to deliver as satisfactory an answer as today."

The transportation between California and the eastern states is not very convenient, and the fastest route is the Nicaragua route.

In this era of high transportation costs, this is a disguised protection of California's nascent manufacturing industry.

However, after the opening of the Pacific Railroad, life for California's local manufacturing industry was not so easy.

Not only will the cost for eastern industrial products entering California be significantly reduced, but the transportation time will also be shortened from two months to two weeks.

By then, these goods will inevitably impact California's local manufacturing industry.

Of course, California can also choose to set up trade barriers like other states to exclude industrial products from other states.

The black-colored vocabulary in this region has a long history. Around 1800, northerners used the term redneck to ridicule rural white people, white miners, and white people engaged in heavy manual labor in the south.

"Mom goes back to the red house to prepare lunch for grandpa." Liang Qianqian replied in a sweet voice.

The location of the factory has been decided, and it will be located in San Antonio."

"Beautiful." Liang Yao said with a smile, "That's dad's grandfather. You want to call him great-grandfather."

"No, it's easy for our black slaves to use it." Bell said, "You guys who are not engaged in production and have never even worked in the fields will not understand the joy of building a house for your daughter and granddaughter."

This title is obviously a contemptuous term for southerners from the north, but white southerners do not seem to dislike this discriminatory title, but are instead proud of it.

"If you want to build a house, you can hire some workers instead of doing it yourself." Liang Yao said, looking at Bell who was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

Bell was sawing wood with his shirt off, revealing the muscles on his body that were a little loose but still full of strength.

This old man is so strong, Liang Yao couldn't help but sigh.

Children have very strong learning abilities. Catalina has only been with them for five months and can already speak some simple Chinese and Cantonese.

The scope of coverage has also expanded from rural whites in the South, white miners, and white workers with heavy manual labor to all southern whites, including southern slave owners.

There is no obvious difference in physical characteristics between Yankees and Dixies.

After saying that, Liang Qianqian took out the longevity lock hanging on her chest and proudly showed off to Liang Yao: "The longevity lock that Grandpa Bearded gave to Qianqian, isn't it beautiful?"

The history of development in southern states is relatively short. Even those immigrants from the south who have already made a fortune are still second-generation, third-generation, or even first-generation immigrants. Due to the practical reasons of labor shortage, they have not abandoned the legacy left by their parents.

The glorious tradition of labor.

However, Liang Yao disagreed with the claim that he was gay: "I'm not from the north, so what kind of gay guy am I?"

"As far as I know, steel mills in Pennsylvania and Ohio can produce high-quality gun steel." Liang Yao thought for a while and said.

Fair has great confidence in the Department of Industry and California companies. He believes that California companies can withstand the test.

To put it bluntly, these local companies have enjoyed development dividends for a full seven years.

The weather in Sacramento is pleasant in April, but if you do physical work, you will inevitably sweat and feel stuffy.

Bell is in his fifties this year. According to the standards of this era, a man in his fifties must be considered a young old man.

"This is the return I promised you. As long as Texas and the Sacramento Arsenal have reached an agreement, I have no objections," Liang Yao said.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity for California companies. Who is a wolf and who is a dog, you have to bite to find out.

The ninth day of the eighth lunar month is September 23, 1856 in the Gregorian calendar.

At first, the popularity of this word was not very high. As the conflicts between the North and the South intensified, the popularity and frequency of use of this word gradually increased.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you let me know that you bully my daughter in the future, I will never forgive you." Bell said cursingly.

——————————————

It's understandable that you can't compete with similar companies in the UK. If you can't even compete with similar companies in the United States, you deserve to be eliminated by cruel business competition.

Choosing to introduce the Napoleon cannon production line is a very cost-effective choice for Texas.

Take Bell, for example, who is a first-generation immigrant from Texas.

Liang Yao removed the wooden ruler and gongbi that were pressed on the drawing and found that it was an architectural drawing of a wooden house.

"You Free State people are all fucking gays, and you are the son-in-law of gays," Bell said.

Because the pollution in San Francisco is getting worse day by day, San Francisco is now a city suitable for making money, but it is by no means a city suitable for living.

This house is built of red bricks, so Liang Qianqian likes to call it the red house.

"But there is a very thorny problem. Texas cannot produce the gun steel needed for cannon production. This kind of steel requires very high levels of metallurgical technology. Even the metallurgy industry in Virginia (the most industrially developed slave state)

They are unable to produce qualified gun steel." Bell said with a frown.

When he was young, he personally cultivated cotton fields and sugar cane fields.

These products are not only very competitive in the United States, but also very popular in the international market.

Bell has the typical red neck of white Southerners, which is caused by being exposed to the harsh southern sun during outdoor activities all year round. This is also the origin of the name red neck.

As for the failed Sacramento Cannon, a big killer, it's good, but it's too expensive.

Catalina, who was playing nearby, ran over on the black pony she brought from Texas, gesticulating about the huge house while talking.

What's more, California welcomes new immigrants every day, and California also needs more jobs to accommodate these new immigrants.

Liang Yao picked up Liang Qianqian on the horse, kissed her hard on the cheek, and asked, "Where's mom?"

I am ashamed to say that this is the first time Liang Yao has built an estate in California.

Liang Yao also expected Texas to choose to introduce the production line of Walter 1851E rifles and Napoleon cannons.

It's only mid-April now, so there are still 5 months left, so it's not too late.

Among the three major cities in California, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, the most livable city is undoubtedly Sacramento.

"I married your daughter, and I'm also the son-in-law of a Dixie guy. Do you think I'm a Yang guy or a Dixie guy?" Liang Yao and Bell went around in circles.

However, this is not a wise move. On the one hand, it is easy to offend people, and on the other hand, it is not conducive to the further development of local manufacturing industry in the long run.

"What's the right day to get married?"

Liang Yao took the train to the construction site in Sacramento. To Liang Yao's surprise, Bell was also at the construction site.

"dad."

"When will it be soon?"

The manor Liang Yao built himself was in New York, and he lived in that manor in New York for the month he married Elizabeth.

The presence of out-of-state companies can also provide more jobs in California.

However, it is still possible to simply distinguish whether a person is a Yankee or a Dixie through some obvious characteristics resulting from acquired living habits and climate differences in the area where he or she lives.

"Dad, grandpa is building a house for Qianqian and her mother, a very big house."

"Stop playing tricks with children." Seeing Liang Yao coming, Bell patted the sawdust on his hands and walked up and said.

"That's when there is a suitable day to get married."

"soon."

Qianqian is the Chinese name given to Katerina by Liang Yao's grandfather Liang Weiming.

After sawing off the wood, Bell called a black servant, and he and the black servant picked up the wood and beat the wood on the foundation.

Liang Yao couldn't argue with this fact that Liang Yao had never even worked in the fields when it came to production. When he was born, Liang Yao's conditions were particularly good. At that time, the Liang family was one of the largest landowners in Xiangshan. He had indeed never worked in the fields.

"Please rest assured, please trust the Department of Industry and trust California's manufacturing industry."

"Your grandfather and I have discussed it. According to your Chinese calendar, the ninth day of August this year is a very suitable day for wedding. I will go to Xiangshan with you then."

Liang Yao walked to Bell's workbench and saw an architectural drawing on the workbench. There was also a wooden ruler and a fine brush pressed on the architectural drawing.

The poor people in the South couldn't afford it, and the rifled Napoleon cannon at this time was not outdated and was still a relatively advanced artillery.

Except for the arsenal, there are no serious polluting companies in Sacramento.

California's leading companies, such as the steamships of the San Francisco Shipyard, the locomotives of the California Railway, the bicycles and machine tools of General Machinery Company, the machine tools of Pratt & Whitney and Blan Company, the steam engines of Allaire Works and Republic Engine Company, Luo

Sewing machines at the Binns-Lawrence factory.

The Garden where he lived for more than six years was not built by him, but by Sam Brannan, California's first millionaire.

Considering that the state government, state assembly, and state courts are all in Sacramento, in order to make it more convenient for him to work in the future and to provide a better living environment for his family, Liang Yao bought a piece of land from Sutter and planned to build a building here.

A manor.

"To get down to business, I have already visited the arsenal in Sacramento. I have discussed it with my old guys in Texas and plan to first introduce a production line for Walter 1851E rifles, a production line for small Napoleon cannons, and a production line for large Napoleon cannons.

.

Goods from other states can enter California through the Pacific Railroad, and goods from California can naturally enter other states through the Pacific Railroad.

"When will you marry mom?"

He also thought that Bell came to Sacramento to inspect the arsenal and prepare for Texas to introduce firearms and artillery production lines from California.

The sky here is bluer than that of San Francisco, and the air is fresher than that of San Francisco.

The red house is the house built by Liang Yao when he settled in Sacramento in his early years.

"Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the Yankees to sell this strategic resource to the South." Bell shook his head and said.

"I discussed it with the old guys in Texas. We want to finance and invite you to set up a steel plant in Texas. We will provide the money and you will provide the technology and equipment to produce this high-quality gun steel in Texas.

.We in Texas hold 51% of the shares in this steel plant, and the remaining 49% is held by your Californian."

Liang Yao turned around and asked his assistant Carnegie: "Carnegie, which company provides the gun steel for the Sacramento Steel Plant?"

"There are two suppliers of gun steel for the Sacramento Arsenal. One is United Steel Company, a subsidiary of the California Coal and Steel Alliance, and the other is Tongfu Metal, a subsidiary of Tongfu Group." Carnegie quickly replied.

"Let's see, I'll say hello to Tongfu Group. For specific matters, your Texas side will talk to Tongfu Group directly." Liang Yao thought for a while and said.
