African Entrepreneurship Records

  Chapter 293 Entry!

  The tax package system, an old antique dug out of the trash, is a brand new version that the indigenous people have never seen before in sub-Saharan Africa.

  Of course, this is only done in the newly occupied areas, such as Zambia and the Azande Plateau, which are close to East Africa, East Africa is still playing the old way, orderly vacating cages and changing birds, especially in the case of European wars, East Africa has a wealthy immigrant population to implement.

   Zambian government agencies have been established, and each area is in charge of high-ranking officials. There is no need to compromise with the indigenous forces. The Azande Plateau is relatively late, because East Africa is not very active in the development here, but the Azande Plateau is next to the Great Lakes, so it is easy to control. In addition, a large number of indigenous people have been emptied before, so there is no need to invest too much power.

  …

  Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika).

  Mpron Port, this is a small fishing port at the southernmost end of Lake Sauron. Guided by the Kingdom of East Africa, Msiri finally arrived here with his core of 3,000 soldiers and civilians.

  Before Msiri arrived, tens of thousands of indigenous people gathered here in East Africa, and the small shacks filled the south bank of Lake Sauron, which was quite spectacular.

   "Guide Capri, why are there so many black people gathered here?" Msiri asked while looking at the black people gathered on the shore.

  Capri: "Your Excellency, Msiri, they are a gift from the East African Kingdom. After all, where you are going, there are also many indigenous forces, so the population is also in urgent need. Most of these East African indigenous people who can speak Swahili can understand your language. They can accept your command. They are all adult males. I believe you can use them to organize a powerful army, and then you can become the overlord there in West Africa."

   Is there such a good thing? Msiri couldn't believe that the people in East Africa were so kind. They gave them their population for free, wouldn't it be good to keep them to create wealth for themselves?

  Cabri continued: "Your Excellency Msiri, don't underestimate these people. They are all trained in East Africa, have strong organizational skills, and have strong experience in agriculture. Most of them came out of farms. You can take them to West Africa and let them grow food and accumulate your personal wealth."

  Kabri’s words basically cleared up the doubts. These are the “laborers” in East Africa, that is, slaves. Now these slaves are retiring, and Zanzibar can’t recruit so many “laborers”, and they also have to select people for recruitment. Ottoman’s customers are very strict about the quality of slaves, so they have to take a free ride to West Africa with Msiri.

  As for whether they are engaged in agriculture, it is not sure. There are not a few people who build bridges and roads in East Africa, and build houses. Anyway, they are all engaged in high-intensity work in East Africa.

  Under these high-intensity projects in East Africa, these indigenous people look glamorous, but in fact they are extremely consumed. If they are lucky, they can use them for a few more years, and they may become ill due to overwork and lose their ability to work. Naturally, it is impossible for East Africa to be this receiver.

East African ranch and cattle and horses are expanding rapidly. These cattle and horses can replace most of the indigenous people, and the cattle and horses are old. East Africa people can eat meat when they slaughter them. Bone can cook soup. These indigenous people have no such role, and it is impossible to find them into a pit. It is too troublesome. Both sides are happy with disease and dark injuries.

  Msiri: "I don't know what kind of food they will grow!"

  Capri: "That's a lot, basically East African crops, most of them have experience, rice, wheat, bananas, potatoes..."

  Msiri couldn't wait to go forward to check the situation of these gifts to the natives. He wanted to make sure that these East Africans were really so kind. He came to some natives at random and said in Swahili: "Stand up."

   Then, he looked around a few people, and found that there was no major problem, his arms and legs were all there, his body was not swollen, and he was full of tendons, good guy! Stronger than some of the slaves of his tribe.

   This has to be the food in East Africa. Although the slaves have a lot of work and eat mostly cassava and corn, they can satisfy themselves with a large amount, and they grow their own rations, especially cassava, which is drought-resistant, barren-resistant, high-yield, and can be harvested throughout the year.

  East Africa only needs to set aside a large amount of wasteland for these natives to grow cassava, which can basically satisfy the rations of these slaves without delaying the production of East Africa's own crops.

  Msiri ordered: "Take two steps first and let me see."

   Several indigenous people who had been "trained" by East Africa all the year round immediately took a few steps according to Msiri's order. After all, this "big man" stood with the East Africans. They did not dare to disobey orders for fear of attracting severe beatings.

  Msiri then let these aborigines do some high-difficulty sports. After repeated experiments, Msiri found that the East Africans really did not lie to themselves. These aboriginals are of good quality and very healthy overall.

  Msiri said with great satisfaction: "Mr. Capri, thank you very much for the gift from East Africa. These people are very nice."

   "Hahaha, of course, Mr. Msiri, you are our friend in East Africa, and we in East Africa have always been very generous to our friends." Capri laughed, and then added silently in his heart, "No wonder!"

  People are a kind of consumables, especially those who are engaged in heavy physical labor all year round. The same is true for these slaves in the East African Kingdom. Although they eat a lot, they are relatively simple in nutrition, and they have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time.

  These slaves sent to Msiri were given to Msiri according to their service time after deduction based on the life span of European railway workers in East Africa.

  Although East African slaves do not work on railways, their workload is comparable to that of European railway workers, and they are all heavy physical activities. That is to say, they are given to Msiri when they are in their best condition, so that they appear energetic and in good condition.

  In fact, after going to West Africa with Msiri, if they continue to engage in heavy physical labor, they will definitely collapse in a certain period of time. Of course, if Msiri does not do this and slowly recuperates, they may still live for a long time.

  For example, Msiri's army doesn't usually train very much. They basically rely on firepower to suppress indigenous opponents, and then follow Msiri to eat and drink spicy food. Among African aboriginals, they are definitely the most nourishing group in life.

  However, if Msiri really intends to take these East African slaves to West Africa to farm, the result may be different. The risk of these slaves dying suddenly at the same time is high.

  However, according to the speculation of the East African government, Msiri will not do this, because Msiri’s regime has a characteristic, that is, plundering the wealth of other tribes and kingdoms. As the saying goes, if the enemy stores food, if I store guns, the enemy is my granary. This is what Msiri is best at.

  In fact, East Africa’s judgment is correct. At this time, Msiri has already made up his mind to use the slaves sent by East Africa to organize a regular combat force and go to West Africa to do a big job.

  Conventional combat troops, that is, troops that do not use firearms. Using firearms is the treatment only for Msiri's confidantes.

  The advantage of Msiri’s reuse of these East African slaves is obvious. Everyone speaks Swahili, that is, fellow villagers, and these slaves are all strong and strong, and they are all adult males. When they go to West Africa, they can let those West Africans who have never seen the world see the combat effectiveness of the Bantu people in East Africa.

  To sum up, Musiri’s idea is two words “Enter the Customs”. Musiri’s all-black “Eight Banners” soldiers will go to West Africa together to earn prosperity and wealth for generations.

  Of course, Msiri also found that the population that East Africa gave him was all "strong men" and there was no woman. But think about it, women are the wealth of war, and East Africa will definitely not give it to him casually. It doesn't matter, just go to West Africa to grab the locals.

   This is because Msiri misunderstood East Africa. Children and women do not exist among slaves in East Africa, and they were driven to the northwest by East Africa long ago.

  However, Msiri’s careful thought of going to West Africa to **** women is also a mistake. Most of the indigenous women and children expelled from East Africa have indeed gone there, but they are now the assets of various tribes and kingdoms in West Africa.
