Chapter 1598: Philadelphia and "Jinyi Night Walk"
It is July that is the hottest time in the northern hemisphere. The highest temperature in summer here has reached 34 degrees. Fortunately, this group of immigrants came from Breischgau in southern Germany. It is not uncommon for the temperature there to exceed 30 degrees in the summer. If you change someone from the northern coastal region of Germany, you might not be able to withstand this high temperature.
"Summer is a little hotter here than in Germany, but not too hot. The southern region is hotter, but we are on the north side, and summer is not very hot. In winter, sometimes it is very cold. At least, Bideut The area is much colder. "
"But it doesn't matter, our Grand Duke invented Kang. If the winter is too cold, the Kang is burned at night, and the room is warm ..." Leilton explained to the old men with a smile.
"What if I go out? If it's too cold, we don't have a thick leather coat when we go out!" At this time, an old man interjected. In his acquaintance, going out in winter is generally like a nobleman, wearing a fur coat all over ...
Leighton looked at him silently and said:
"How can there be so many fur clothes for you to wear? Although the local fur is indeed rich, but you are a farmer, wearing fur is too extravagant ..."
The old peasant accused:
"I also know, but don't we go out in winter?"
Leilton shook his head:
"No, our Grand Duke has long thought about it-wearing a sling!"
Then he sent soldiers to take out a jacket from the cabin. At the same time, a soldier who could weave clothes was called.
"This is the sackcloth, which is made of thatch. When it is raining, it can be worn to prevent rain. When it is cold in winter, it can be worn outside and it can protect against cold ..."
"Isn't this grass? Can it be worn as clothes? Will there be lice?" An old farmer asked hesitantly.
Leilton rolled his eyes after listening:
"You throw him around, throw it in the haystack, and then wear it, it is easy to grow lice. If it is kept well, pay attention to clean. Before wearing it, wash it with water, dry it or dry it, it will not produce lice . If you have lice, it must be because you do n’t take a shower! "
Leilton suddenly remembered that when he forced the group of guys to take a bath before boarding the ship over Bryschgau, a crying father called a mother ...
At that time, many people refused to take a bath, thinking that they would get sick after taking a bath. However, the North Sea State has strict regulations and does not allow bathing and boarding.
In desperation, the soldiers who took care of them had to force them to take off their clothes and take a bath. When taking a bath, they also took their clothes and cooked them with lime water, which is said to be disinfection ...
It's better to force a man to take a bath, force a woman to take a bath ... Hey, Leilton feels irritated when he thinks about it ...
At that time, he took a group of men and forcibly stripped a group of village women who refused to take a bath. Then, all kinds of little white sheep swayed in front of me ... Many soldiers couldn't help but touched and pinched ... which caused the village women to yell ...
Fortunately, Beihai's military regulations are strict, and women who are soldiers are strictly prohibited. Otherwise, a batch must be held on the spot ...
Also, fortunately, this is not China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and women do not commit suicide after being touched. Otherwise, you must get your life.
However, at that time, it was forced to strip a group of girls and sister-in-law into the temporarily dug bath, and now I think it is exciting ...
Afterwards, before embarking on board the ship in Emden Port in the North Sea, he organized a bath. This time, no one will enforce it. Everyone obediently took off their clothes and bathed themselves. Especially women, no longer willing to take a bath under the onlookers of the gang of soldiers, but went to a more hidden place.
...
After the explanation, Leilton went to inspect the progress of building the house. The old men who listened to his explanation went back to the crowd and explained to the others.
This is the case in the countryside. Although the old Europeans did not have the right to speak as the old people in the ancient Chinese countryside, because of their rich experience, some people still listen to their words. Therefore, Leilton simply explained to the group of old men first, and then, let them explain to the gang of immigrants. This is much more useful than saying it yourself. Because many young people will have resistance against Leilton. However, for the elderly among them, those young immigrants are still very respectful. For rural people, without the guidance of agricultural technicians, these veteran farmers are the life mentors of the young farmers ...
When building the houses where the immigrants lived, Leilton also divided some strong soldiers, and some soldiers, began to build a simple military fortress by the river.
Because, in the future, Leilton will become the military chief here. After all, there are Indian activities on the west bank of the Delaware River. For the safety of local immigrants, a force must be left to monitor the movement of the Indians across the river.
In addition, this group of immigrants did not come voluntarily. In order to prevent them from making trouble, they also need to leave an army to supervise and suppress them. It wasn't until Marin sent the apprentices and grandsons of Taylor Flicker that they were flickering in order to relax their supervision.
Also, in the not-too-distant future, the North Sea Congress used Kenton as a bridgehead to launch an attack on the Philadelphia area on the other side, seizing the land there.
According to previous records, Marlin's younger brother Albert is the Earl of Philadelphia. Its enclosure is in the Philadelphia area on the west bank of the Delaware River.
Now that Simon is in control, Albert's land has not yet been fulfilled. This time Marin's choice to establish a colony in Kenton on the other side of Philadelphia is to prepare for expansion to the other side.
Once the colonial development here is going smoothly, when the farm is free, it is an opportunity to organize the army to cross the Delaware River and capture the Philadelphia area.
Once the Philadelphia area was captured, Marin would establish Philadelphia across the river and confirm the establishment of the "Philadelphia". By then, Marin intends to assign the entire Delmarva Peninsula where the later Delaware is located, including the Philadelphia area, to the Philadelphia State.
Although it is said that this land is very fertile, close to the Great River exit, and a good land like Philadelphia, Marin did not care much. After all, North America is so big, this land is really nothing. After careful calculation, the total area of this land is less than 20,000 square kilometers. Compared with Simon's Ukraine, it is much less.
But Marin could not give him too much territory, not reluctantly, but the population ...
Simon occupies the northern part of the Ukrainian steppe ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Although the land area is very large, but he has 3 million Ukrainians to make the bottom, can toss.
And Albert is different here. With land here, there must be enough people to develop! If there is too much land, Albert will inevitably find someone to develop. If you want to be a person with Marin, Marin must not give up. Therefore, simply give less land so that you are not afraid of Albert having too many people.
Moreover, the site given to Albert is also a good place in North America, and it is not too bad for him. If it is developed here, it will be much richer than those in the German regions.
Of course, there is also a problem of fame. After all, before the Beihai state power can say no, the establishment of the Philadelphia State must be carried out quietly and cannot be heard everywhere.
Therefore, although Albert is very affordable, it is inevitable that "Jinyi Night Walk" will be a long time ...
Because, even if he swallowed the great benefits, he was richer than the counts in Germany, but he could not share it with others or brag about it. He could only hold it in his heart ... This feeling is not very good ...
