Chapter 1596: Various functions

For immigration and development in the Americas, Marin has a comprehensive plan. Previously, for various reasons, Marin ’s American colony consisted of only tens of thousands of English immigrants from Cape Breton Island and New York, as well as thousands of people from Savannah, Cuba, Grenada and Pampas. In Panama, because of the bad weather, it is mainly dominated by black uncles, and there are only more than 1,000 white people.

In total, these colonial populations, not being black uncles, are 60,000 or 70,000. Among them, the most important is the 50,000 English refugees. These refugees were also the refugees from the destruction of several counties in the north of England when Sogra invaded England.

In order to prevent someone from grabbing business before, Marin deliberately demonized the American continent. As a result, Marin also suffered bitterly-not many German immigrants would go to the American continent.

But Marin could not explain it, because, as soon as he explained it, he would reveal it, and other countries would be interested in the Americas. Therefore, he can only endure. It was not easy to catch the opportunity of the peasant uprising to force the immigrant population to the Americas on a large scale.

In the future, Marin intends to distribute core areas such as New York and Pennsylvania, mainly for the Germans to occupy and develop. The English are mainly arranged by the sea, mainly fishing and whaling.

The strengths of the English are mainly sailing and sheep raising. They are not proficient in farming or anything. If they were not suppressed by the army, they would not be happy to cultivate the land carefully. Therefore, when German immigrants are enough, it is better to arrange for them to go fishing or sailing, which also liberates their talents.

As for German immigrants, most of them are dry ducks. They value the land more, and they like to plant it steadily. In addition, German farmers are obedient ...

Although the talents of German peasants for farming are not much better than that of the English, and cannot be compared with the Chinese farmers, the Germans are more obedient and more obedient than the English. Thousands of years of serfdom has made German peasants accustomed to following orders from noble masters and has always been honest. Even participating in the peasant uprising was because the aristocratic master oppressed so hard that they could not survive, so they had no choice but to rise up. Like the northern part of Germany, because there are enough fields to plant, there is no peasant uprising.

England is different. Since the outbreak of the "Watt Taylor" peasant uprising in 1381, England's serfdom began to disintegrate. Throughout the 15th century, most English serfs redeemed their free bodies and became self-cultivators.

Self-cultivation farmers are more self-conscious and difficult to manage. For example, in the colony of New York, if there were no more than two thousand colonial troops, Albert could not control the immigrants in England.

Moreover, in the past two years, those English immigrants have also started to make trouble. The main thing is-those immigrants in England who want to redeem their serf status and become self-cultivating farmers ...

The reason is simple-these immigrants from England were originally self-cultivators in the country. A few years ago, because the domestic food was robbed by Scotland and could not live hungry, he accepted to go to America and become a serf of Marin.

In the first few years, they were indeed honest. After all, compared to the time when food was robbed by the Scottish army and starved to death, it was far better to serve Marin as a serf.

However, after many years, they gradually forgot the graciousness of feeding and warming Marin as a serf, and began to want more ...

If German peasants, they may not have this idea. Because the serfdom of the Germans has always been like this, and it is reasonable to listen to the lord. But farmers in England are different, but they have worked as self-cultivators, knowing that they are free.

Therefore, after being a stable serf for several years, they began to try to ask Albert for the right to redeem their serf status, and wanted to be a farmer ...

Of course, Albert did not agree to their request. After all, this mouth cannot be casually opened. But Marin knew that once this group of people had this thought in mind, they could no longer suppress it. Those who have been masters are not willing to be slaves forever. One day, this group of Englishmen will make trouble.

Therefore, Marin is also very simple-you don't want to be a serf, do you? no problem! As long as the German immigrants are in place, we will give you freedom! Not only for freedom, but also to borrow money to buy a boat for you to be a shipowner and a fisherman!

As it happens, there is endless fishing in Newfoundland fishing grounds. This group of Englishmen can definitely catch a lot of fish. When the time comes, the Germans are farming, and the English are fishing ... no, they can also recruit sailors and even sailors from the English ... and it's a best use ...

Of course, men in England go fishing, and women cannot do anything. They can keep the sheep at home, while watching the children, and the sheep at the same time ... The sheep don't need any physical strength, the woman can do it. What's more, shepherd dogs can help!

As for farming, let the honest and obedient German farmers come! Then, both parties exchange materials. The English exchanged catches and wool with the Germans for food and meat, and everyone can live well ...

Later, when England and the North Sea are united, the descendants of Marin can recruit army soldiers in the North Sea and recruit sailors in England. Everyone performs their own duties and exerts their own strengths ...

To be honest, it is really wasteful to let the English become colonial overlords. The talents of this group of guys are fishing and pirate, but they are going to occupy the land. As a result, the land occupied by the English ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ was developed, but it mainly relied on slave land. The old men of England are reluctant to engage in this kind of manual labor.

In the later generations of agriculture, agriculture took off because of the introduction of many German and Irish immigrants before they developed agriculture with peace of mind. Originally, the thirteen state colonies were mainly planted with cash crops. To tell a real story, James Duncan, the first colony in North America, did not engage in agriculture at all, and food was mainly supplied by the Indians. In the 17th century, Jamestown was besieged by the Indians because he turned over with the Indians and lost his food source. Many people starved to death. Then, the English colonists in Jamestown survived by eating the bodies of their fellow citizens ...

Of course, we should not blame the British for their unwillingness to plant land. Instead, they have a better way to make money, why should they grow land? The English are good at sailing, and the sailing trade is very profitable, which is much more cost-effective than farming. Therefore, the English have gone to sea trade. Only Germans and Irishs are more brain-damaged, so they plan to eat in the land. Of course, the English are also farming. However, people generally use black slaves, or employ German or Irish descent to become their uncles ...

In this case, Marin felt that it would be better to give the English people freedom and allow them to excel in navigation and maritime trade. Anyway, I also need a lot of nautical talents. And farming can rely on Germans. It ’s good how everyone does their job and do what they are good at ...
