Chapter 2142: Arrangement for 300,000 French immigrants

On the island of Ameland in the West Frisian Islands, Marin sent a new port named Romani. All low-quality wines imported from Bordeaux will be shipped to the port of Romany on the island of Ameland. Then, from the huge house in the port, glycerin, lactic acid bacteria, potassium bicarbonate and sulfur are added for secondary processing.

Then, the quality of "Bourgogne quality wine" was engraved on the barrels in French, and it was almost impossible to engrave the boasting ad slogan "Provincial Yougeyou".

And some of the top wines of very good quality after secondary processing will be engraved with the words "Romane Conti" in French.

Romani Conti is the top wine brand in later generations, ranking first, while Lafite is ranked tenth, the last of the cranes. Moreover, Romani Conti is a winery in the Burgundy wine region. The Lafite Winery comes from the Bordeaux region.

Of course, at the moment, the name of the winery Romane Conti has not yet appeared. Now, the winery of Romani Conti is still a local winery under the name of the Abbey of Saint-Vivant. It was not until 1681, in the era of Louis XIV, who didn't like bathing, before it was renamed Chateau Romani. Then, in 1760, after the winery was transferred to the Prince Conti of the Bourbon dynasty, the wine produced by the winery was officially named "Romane Conti", a brand that resonated with later generations.

But now, there is no Romani, nor Kandy, only Marin, a traverser full of evil tastes. Therefore, those wines with the best quality after being modified by additives will use the name of Romani Conti.

However, this raises a question-there is no Romani winery in the world, where does the brand Romani Conti come from? After all, nobles have to listen to stories when they drink. There is no compelling story, and I feel that the wine is not compelling enough...

Thus, Marin thought of the North American twin islands, the island later known as Martha’s Vineyard, which was named Columbus Island by Marin.

But Marin didn't plan to grow grapes on this small island for wine, because the island is too small to be of much value. Perhaps, in later generations, this island is a very good summer resort. But in this age, people are still running to fill their stomachs. Where can I go on holiday to the island?

In addition, vineyards require a lot of manpower, and winemaking also requires labor, which is very troublesome. But now there are no people on Double Island in North America, and most of the trees on the island have been cut down. The land on the island is not fertile enough, and there are no large rivers to provide sufficient water for irrigation. Therefore, the most on the island at the moment is the pasture, which is used for raising horses, raising donkeys, and...using horses and donkeys to counterweight to obtain mules... Therefore, the North American double islands are now called "Mule Horse Island"...well, no Rome, it's a mule and horse... Simply put, it's a large mule breeding center...

The two islands have other uses, and Marin does not plan to grow grapes and wine on the islands. However, there is one place that is quite suitable, and that is the Delaware Peninsula, also called the Delaware Peninsula.

This peninsula, which is about 14,000 square kilometers, was the place where Kahn performed before, and it was also used to settle 300,000 French immigrants.

It should be pointed out that most of these 300,000 French immigrants came from the border areas of northeastern France. Among them, some people happen to come from the Burgundy region. Even many people have worked in wineries, managed vineyards for winery owners, and picked grapes.

Of course, there is no winemaker inside. Because winemakers are "high-tech talents" in this era and are very popular, especially those with good winemaking skills. Such people cannot be reduced to refugees and forced to flee. This winery is down, and the winemaker can easily find another winery to get a high salary.

If you meet a winemaker who has escaped famine, then there are only two possibilities-one possibility is that the winemaker's winemaking skills are very bad and the wine produced is very awful; the other possibility is that this guy is offended and can't afford it. People who are wanted...

Therefore, among the 300,000 victims of the disaster in northeastern France, a considerable number of them may have worked in wineries, but winemakers will not have them.

But this doesn't bother Marin, and Marin doesn't want to make good wine. What he wants is just a title...

…

In other words, Marin has already thought of an economic project for these 300,000 French victims-planting grapes! Then, make wine!

Of course, winemaker Marin can help. By the way, Marin built a huge brewery in his hometown of Bochum. In the brewery, there is a winemaker training class. The main apprentices make dark beer and white wine like Erguotou, but there are also some who teach wine. Because there are also grape plantations on the Rhine River in the Ruhr area. Although not many, there are also.

Coupled with the religious significance of wine, grape growing is also very popular. It should be pointed out that precisely because of the religious significance of wine, the people who are most keen to grow grapes to make wine are in fact the bishops of the bishops' countries. After all, spending money on wine, especially high-end wine, is very expensive. Everyone is financially poor, so if possible, try to grow your own grapes to make wine.

For example, Moselle, the most famous wine-producing region in Germany in later generations, is located within the territory of the archbishop of Trier, and is also an industry supported by the archbishop of Trier. After all, the bishop's country consumes a lot of wine. Naturally, I hope to grow good grapes and produce high-end wines that meet the status of the archbishop.

Rheingau, another important wine-producing region in Germany, is located near Mainz and developed grape growing and winemaking with the support of the Archbishop of Mainz.

The Al region, south of Bonn, is a wine region supported by the Archbishop of Cologne. Although there are not many vineyards in the Rhine region of the North Sea country, they do. Therefore, at the Bochum winery, a group of winemakers who can make wine can also be selected.

Marin intends to use the 300,000 French immigrants to open up large tracts of vineyards on the Delaware Peninsula to grow and make wine. As for the grape varieties, Marin intends to introduce Cabernet Sauvignon, the main variety of Bordeaux, rather than Pinot Noir, the main variety of the Burgundy region.

Mainly, Pinot Noir grapes are too difficult to serve, very delicate and poorly adaptable. Cabernet Sauvignon can adapt well to climates around the world.

In addition, the thick skin of Cabernet Sauvignon can effectively resist the rot caused by freezing and rain, and it is not prone to problems. In addition, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have very low soil requirements, as long as they have good drainage and gravel soils, they can grow well.

It just so happened that Marin didn't trust the French enough. If it is to grow rye or wheat, Marin is also worried that there will be French spies who will steal the fertilizer secretly. Growing grapes with low soil requirements is the best choice. Although you steal the secrets, I don't plan to put much fertilizer on the vineyard anyway. Although fertilization can also increase production, Marin is still cautious until it is determined that there are no spies among the French immigrants on the Delaware Peninsula.

Even if rye is planted on the peninsula, Marin does not intend to provide fertilizer, but to let it play freely. However, Marin did not intend to let go of the feces of 300,000 French immigrants. He planned to use a group of ships to collect the feces of these people, and then transport them to the Philadelphia area to be processed into soil and fertilizer. Then, the fertilizer was transported to the New York colony and used to fertilize the wheat.

As for the French immigrants on the Delaware Peninsula, Marin only intends to let them grow grapes and grow rye freely for the time being. In addition, support them to raise horses, cattle and sheep. These industries have low requirements for fertilizers and are suitable for development.

In addition, Marin intends to allocate tens of thousands of young men among the 300,000 French people, specifically for logging and wood processing!

There are virgin forests on the North American continent, and there is too much wood. However, logging, processing and transportation all require a lot of manpower. Obviously, these French immigrants, who have not been fully trusted, are good loggers, wood processors and transporters...

These woods, especially oak, are made into oak barrels in addition to being used for shipbuilding. Oak barrels are standard for wine making. Although they are not as good as French oak barrels, they can be used. The point is, North American oak has no cost!

The forests of this entire continent are all Marlins, which can be cut down at will. Unlike the forests on the European continent, they are basically the private property of the nobles, and the prices are still expensive.

In addition, in this era, everything is shipped in wooden barrels in Europe. Rice noodles are packed in wooden barrels, salt is packed in wooden barrels, so is gunpowder, and so is wine... Therefore, the demand for wood for shipbuilding is far from that for wooden barrels.

Although Marin used a strategy, he sent someone to buy oak barrels in France to consume the potential of French shipbuilding. However, it does not affect the production of barrels by Marin in North America. After all, those wooden barrels are of poor quality and are not used for winemaking, but can also be used for other things.

Therefore, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, the Delaware Peninsula in the future will be called a barrel-making base, using the inexhaustible wood on the North American continent to process and manufacture wooden barrels to meet the increasing demand for future maritime trade.

In addition to making barrels, Marin will also let these French immigrants use wood to make furniture. However, they are not allowed to participate in shipbuilding. Mainly, Marin feared that some of them would be recalled by the King in the future. After all, loyalty to the monarch and the kingdom is unreasonable. It would be bad if those craftsmen who were still finally in France returned with a piece of shipbuilding craftsmanship. When it comes to making barrels and making furniture, Marin doesn't matter. Because their craftsmanship is a waste of wood... Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that there are only places like the North American continent. I am not afraid that they waste wood. After all, wood is everywhere in the North American continent, as long as you spend your energy to cut and process, there are countless woods available. As for Europe, the Old Continent, only mountainous areas and the Nordic region are still relatively rich in timber resources. In Western Europe, because of the high degree of development, there is not much wood. Especially high-quality oak is scarce.

…

Soon after, Albert, who was in New York, received Marin's order to focus on the development of grape planting and winemaking, logging, wood processing and animal husbandry on the Delaware Peninsula where 300,000 French immigrants gather. As for the planting industry, it's reckless. The French love to grow what they grow, but they don't provide fertilizer for the time being...
