Chapter 2096: Port of Murmansk
How do you say it, Marin didn't give this group of old Lapu chiefs a dress rehearsal, but the language is not clear, and they can't understand it. In addition, this group of people are not soldiers from the North Sea country, and their obedience is very poor.
Before, Marin thought of the way of rewarding brave food, tempting them to obey the command. But he didn't expect this group of old men to be crazy. After seeing the people on the street, especially the children, he became excited.
Why pinch? Because the Lapp people live in the extremely cold Arctic Circle in this era, the fertility rate is low, and the baby survival rate is also very low. Therefore, Lapp people love children very much, and they are happy to see them. In particular, because the fertility rate of girls is high in cold regions and there are few boys, Lapus love boys in particular. Because, in ancient times, boys were the pillars and the hope of the tribe.
It’s a coincidence that most of the people who go to the streets in Beihai Country to watch the excitement are also naughty boys. A few old Lapu men, seeing so many boys and seeing Lie Xinxi, began to spread gifts and played with the children. Then, I returned everything I learned from the rehearsal to Marin...
Then, the solemn and desolate atmosphere that Malin had originally rendered was forced into a sand sculpture scene by a group of old teasers. However, it is quite joyful.
Marin was so angry that his face was distorted, but Kohler quietly told him-he listened to the gossip of the envoys, saying that Marin's brain must have been smashed by an iceberg, otherwise how could he want the frozen ground of the Arctic?
Hearing these people's defamation, Marin was not angry but was overjoyed. He held this enthronement ceremony, not to show off, but to promote the desolation and worthlessness of the Arctic.
So, he simply sent an interpreter who understood the language of the Lapu people to help the old chiefs communicate with the children.
Then, these old men are also unreliable, opening their mouths and bragging. In order to show their bravery, they brag about ferocious monsters in the North Pole. They fight monsters every day...
Under the hint of Marin, the translators deliberately said loudly. Then, the envoys of various countries also learned of the Lapland region of "monsters everywhere" from these bragging old guys. Then they gloated even more...
...
Looking at a group of envoys eating melons, Marin smiled, and then released a big move...
When eating after the ceremony, several live reindeer were led to the restaurant. In the presence of the envoys, the Rapp cooks bleed the reindeer on the spot, poured the warm blood into a pottery bowl, sprinkled some salt, and gave it to the envoys.
"What is this?" The envoys were puzzled.
"Drink!" the waiter explained according to the script of the rehearsal.
"Lapp people usually drink deer blood and eat raw meat! By the way, deer blood should be warmed up while it is hot, otherwise it won’t taste good when it’s cold..."
Actually, Rapp people generally eat barbecued meat. But in winter, it is sometimes difficult to find firewood, and sometimes it is indeed possible to drink deer blood and eat raw meat. But that usually happens when you are forced to do nothing. The only people who eat raw meat and drink blood are the Eskimos, that is, the Inuit.
But in order to scare the envoys, Marin deliberately said that the Rapp people usually live like this. Sure enough, such a barbaric lifestyle scared many weak envoys. Only a small number of envoys who were obviously Wufu tried drinking deer blood and eating raw meat, but none of the other envoys dared to try. Of course, Marin didn't force them to eat, just to show them the difficulties of the people in the North.
Actually, it's also that the Lapp people lack wisdom. Like the nomads in northern China, they know that they collect sheep dung and cow dung as fuel. After all, the grasslands are covered with heavy snow in winter, making it difficult to find fuel. As for the hay, it is for cattle, and it is too wasteful to burn it.
Of course, there is a problem with using cow dung as fuel, that is, it’s best not to use it for barbecue. After all, feces are feces, just smoke the barbecue...Well, think about it for yourself, will it taste like that...
Therefore, Mongolians generally cook meat in an iron pot. No way, feces-fueled barbecue is kind of that. And it would be much better to have an iron pot to cook...but nomads can’t smelt iron. Therefore, in history, nomads went south to looting, and iron pots were an important target of their looting.
In the future, Marin plans to promote the breeding of Icelandic horses, yaks and Icelandic sheep in Lapland. The manure produced by these hardy species can be collected as fuel. As for iron pans, Beihai National Railway Factory expressed no pressure. Moreover, the iron ore in Kirkenes can also provide a lot of iron-rich ore for iron smelting. Marin's occupation of Lapland is a win-win situation.
Of course, Marin did not expect to make a fortune from Lapland. This place, as long as you don't post it upside down, Marin will be satisfied. In fact, in addition to the seaside iron ore in Kirkenes, Marin also valued the Russian immigrants accepted by the Murmansk region. Only population is the most important basis of productivity in this technologically backward era.
Also, Kirkenes’ iron ore also needs people to mine, right? In this era without mining machinery, only manual mining can be done. Therefore, Marin needs at least several thousand strong laborers from the Grand Duchy of Moscow to serve as miners in Kirkenes Iron Mine.
Of course, Marin will not treat them badly. At that time, all kinds of food will be full. There will even be special fishing boats to catch marine fish for the miners. Unlike farmers, farmers who plant the fields mainly consume a lot of physical energy during spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and they need to eat well. The miners are physically exhausted every day. Therefore, all meals are necessary to eat fish. After all, you need to work hard every day.
Marin cannot provide them with enough meat. However, the fish resources along the coast of Norway are rich, and it is very simple to provide them with fish food for a long time.
In addition, the next time the population plundered from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Marin plans not to take the St. Petersburg port route, but to use the Murmansk route.
why? Because it's dazzling!
St. Petersburg is indeed a desolate area at present, but from St. Petersburg to sea, ships must pass through the Danish waters, UU reading www. The Øresund Strait in uukanshu.com is very narrow, and it must not escape the eyes of Danish patrol ships. Moreover, Lübeck and Hamburg have also stationed their fleets in the Øresund Strait, so you can definitely learn the details.
Although these three forces have no guts to stop them, they will definitely leak the news. At that time, it will definitely cause an uproar and envy. If someone stops in the middle of transportation, it will increase the trouble.
Therefore, Marin simply changed his course-to bring immigrants to Murmansk on the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Then, transport it back to Beihai Country from here.
Although you will encounter ships of other forces when you walk along the coast of Norway, it is not as narrow as the Øresund Strait, and other ships dare not approach it rashly. The Beihai is so big, everyone can keep a distance and keep it mysterious. If you don’t open your eyes and want to get closer, you can open the gun door to scare...
However, this requires the establishment of a Murmansk port first. At that time, there will be many ships calling at the port to transport people. Moreover, houses must be prepared in advance for temporary resettlement of immigrants. At the same time, food must be prepared for immigrants to eat while they are waiting.
Moreover, in addition to the war looted, this place can continue to be used to accommodate the Russian immigrants who are willing to move to the North Sea country in the future. Even if they are willing to settle here for a long time, Marin welcomes it.
For this reason, Marin signed an order to establish a port city in the Murmansk port area. The name, Marin didn't bother to think about it, just called Murmansk Port...
