I Will Be The Crowned King

Chapter 24 Immigration Plan

Indigenous people?

Hearing this word, Anson suddenly became infinitely curious and began to seriously observe the figure lying in the cowshed.

From the outside, his stature is very thin, his limbs are slender and long, his stature is also very short, his skin is pale and rough, and his body hair is relatively prosperous; especially his brown-red hair, which at first glance is almost the same as that of a normal person. times.

But other than that, no difference can be seen.

The stature is thin and short, as are the beggars and homeless people in the outer city of Clovis; the vast land is like spring all year round, and the skin of the people there is not so delicate; brown-red hair is not common in Clovis, but it is also Definitely not rare.

In addition to the enviable advantage of a large amount of hair, An Sen really couldn't find the slightest "indigenous characteristics" in the other party.

So how did they differentiate between natives and immigrants?

accent?

Thinking of this, An Sen took advantage of the moment when other people were not paying attention, and gently "crack!" he snapped off his right index finger, triggering the ability, and the surrounding pictures immediately flooded into his mind.

But in the next second, there was a slight tingling sensation in the heart part of the chest.

Almost at the same time, the native who collapsed in the mud pit suddenly trembled. He stood up suddenly and stared behind him with a pair of big eyes!

In an instant, the stunned Anson and the natives looked at each other.

"Snapped!"

A wooden stick smashed firmly on the head of the indigenous people, and blood splattered everywhere.

The figure lying in the mud pit immediately collapsed into the pit with his eyes open, like a puppet with a broken string.

The young man named "Boney" kept the stick still on the ground, and spit on the indigenous people with disgust on his face: "Who brought him out, didn't he promise that he would be locked up? !"

As soon as the words fell, a villager who looked quite sturdy ran over in a panic, but did not dare to speak, and dragged the unconscious native from the cowshed with a smile on his face.

"Sorry, it's really bad hospitality!" The young man immediately apologized, his eyes full of guilt: "I... I really didn't expect that they are usually very docile, and they don't even have the courage to look up at others!"

"Slaves like this, are there many in your farm?" Anson changed the subject bluntly.

"Uh, I'm really not very clear about this. I'm not in charge of this."

Boni scratched his head embarrassedly: "It shouldn't be too many, right? We are a small farm with only a few dozen people here, and there is still no way to compare with those big farms... Uncle Sonny, do you still have any impressions? "

"Oh! Remember, remember!"

Called "Uncle Sonny" by the young people, the fat villager who had just taken the unconscious natives hurried forward, trembling and afraid to look up: "Big, about thirty-five... five or six."

"So many!"

Boni's expression was very surprised: "I always thought there were only a dozen at most... The number of these beast slaves is almost as many as the population of the entire village!"

"Beast slave?"

Anson noticed the word.

"Ah, this is what we call the captured natives, because they are like wild animals, but easier to tame than livestock." Boni quickly stepped forward and explained:

"It doesn't mean discrimination, just give them a name to distinguish them from their own."

Well, I see, that's 100% discrimination... An Sen looked around pretending to be curious: "Beast slaves are raised here at Beluga... Is it common to have slaves?"

"It's very common, it can be said to be used to it!" Boni introduced very plainly, and there was no strange place in his eyes:

"The number of people raised here is still relatively small. Like those big farms, there are probably at least hundreds of them... Hehe, there is no way, just relying on the participation of scattered colonists, the efficiency of land reclamation will not be as high as it is now!"

"As for those mines and forest farms, not to mention, most of the beast slaves captured by mercenaries and adventurers were sold to them... Hehe, after all, these jobs require more labor and are more dangerous. "

"It's not just the colonies. I heard that those adventurers will mortgage the beast slaves to the ocean-going merchants, and sell them to the mainland to build the railway - it is a big business."

Anson knew a little about this - after the Clovis City riots, the railway committee, which was unable to make ends meet, fell into the dilemma of lack of labor, and the war on the front forced the demand for resources and manpower. Speed ​​up railway construction.

According to the information gathered by the little clerk, the railway committee at present has almost reached the point of starvation - bankrupt peasants, prisoners in prisons, foreigners, slaves...

There's even a joke in the North about the Railroad Commission: if goats and rats could wield pickaxes or lay sleepers, the committee would happily pay them a salary.

"Then won't these beast slaves resist?" a soldier of the guard company couldn't help asking.

"No, never."

Bonnie's tone was very positive, but at the same time very annoyed: "They are usually docile and don't even talk much, even if they do a lot of work, they don't shout, they never resist when they are beaten, and they don't even dare to look directly at them. Anyone other than the same kind - so I really don't understand, where did he have the courage to dare to look directly at the commander!"

"But... please believe that this is really just a case, a very rare case, most of the beast slaves are usually very docile, and will not threaten or attack others."

"If you are interested, I can introduce you to several reputable mercenary groups, and the prices are very affordable - although they can't do particularly detailed work, they are definitely worth the money if you buy them."

"As for the **** who threatened you, I'll give him to..."

"No." An Sen raised his hand and stopped the young man who was desperately trying to express his sincerity:

"Well, I want to buy this beast slave at a suitable price."

"Look at what you said, how can I ask the garrison commander for money for a beast slave? Uncle Harold will definitely call me ignorant!"

The young man smiled happily, pressed his hat on his chest and gave Ansen a salute: "I will let Uncle Sonny prepare the beast slave, and you can just take it with you when you want to leave."

The two chatted for a while later, and Anson mainly asked questions about local farm implements and livestock.

The answer obtained is basically the same as Anson's initial guess-because the manufacturing industry is completely dependent on the local area, all the production tools in Beluga Port are very simple, which is most obvious in metal utensils.

Poor production tools exacerbate labor consumption and are one of the reasons why most successful farms take three to five years to get back on track.

At the same time, livestock, especially pack animals, are also extremely expensive; although the New World is not without domesticated animals and mature animal husbandry, the most developed areas of animal husbandry are far away from Beluga Harbor, and almost all are within the colonial range of the Western Empire. Internally; the originally low price makes merchants and consumers less interested, and the fewer people who are willing to buy it, the smaller the quantity and the higher the price.

Of course, on the other hand, if you can buy in large quantities and keep the price at a suitable level, this will be an excellent business opportunity - everyone understands this, but to do so requires a very organized Governor's House , but there is no governor of Beluga Harbour.

Anson fell into deep thought.

Before leaving, the young man diligently handed the bound beast slaves to the soldiers of the guard company, and after every refusal, accepted the gold coins that Ansen bought him, and happily took all the villagers in the farm to see them off. The group left.

An Sen, who pretended not to care much about it, carefully looked at the aborigines in this new world from the corner of his eye from the beginning to the end.

That's right, he can now be 100% sure that his feelings at that moment were not illusions - the aboriginal people who were called "beast slaves" by the colonists in front of him did indeed have traces of the caster.

Even... they are not even the most common, the most "common" spellcasters in the old continent: they just passed the ritual, they don't know anything about the three magics, and they have mastered some trick-like skills that don't hurt or itch... It's actually a mutated, evolving... a true spellcaster.

The proof is the single horn growing out of his forehead!

………………

For the next two days, Anson and Lisa continued to patrol the wilderness outside Beluga Harbor, while visiting the nearby farmhouse as a "guest" while looking for wasteland suitable for reclamation.

It should be said that the results obtained are quite optimistic.

As a colony that has just been developed on a large scale for less than 50 years, there is still a lot of space to be explored near Beluga Harbour, and the potential in all aspects is very sufficient; at least in the foreseeable future, it is absolutely vast and sparsely populated. .

Of course, this also brings a problem. Even if the Storm Division and the Rune family can occupy these lands, there is not enough manpower to develop the frontiers. The army can at most be temporarily emergency, but if there is not enough reserve manpower, it is destined to not be able to last for a long time. maintained.

The only solution is to take the immigrants who come from all over the world to Beluga Port in their own hands, and at the same time expand the number of immigrants, and expand the basic market that can be controlled by themselves in a short time as much as possible; The Luen family's industrial plan will send all the residents of Beluga Port City into the factory.

In this way, we can attract locals with stable jobs internally, and absorb new immigrants to become our own people. The influence of the storm in Beluga Port can grow rapidly.

Of course, he is not the governor of Beluga Harbor or Ice Dragon Fjord, and he has no right to raise such demands involving labor with the native land, nor to order new immigrants to swear allegiance to the Storm Division or the Rune family.

But maybe you can find a way to solve this problem directly from the "source".

So without waiting to return to the station, An Sen, who was still on the road, picked up his diary and wrote seriously on it:

"Dear Miss Sophia Franz:

Today is the end of December and the last day of the 100th year of the saint's calendar; time flies so fast, and watching the snow in the sky at Beluga Harbour reminds me of the late night we met at St Isaac's College.

Because of the order of the army, I can only leave you without saying goodbye; but please believe that this does not shake my loyalty to you - no matter how I change my identity, the storm division will always belong to you, and I am your most loyal follower.

To that end, allow me to recommend to you a huge business opportunity I found in the colonies: immigration.

There seems to have always been a voice within the Clovis Kingdom that the colony only needs to be passively pioneered, and it can bring very considerable benefits at a very low cost without spending a lot of money to organize large-scale immigration.

IMHO, this is really a very superficial idea.

In fact, no matter if a small amount of colonization is carried out or just go with the flow, the benefits are low and the ability to resist risks is poor. Only by organizing immigrants on a large scale can they completely overwhelm the risks and obtain huge returns in a very short period of time.

And when the number of pioneers in a colony reaches a certain level, even if it is only in the initial development stage, the income will show an exponential growth trend in the next few years, and maintain a stable positive income after a certain continuous blowout.

And if even the Franz family invests in immigration, the industrial confidence that only appears as a weather vane will also usher in an unprecedented round of development in the colony; many desperate Clovis people will see in the dark To a ray of light ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I can even assure you that you can get very handsome profits just by sending immigrants to the colony - be it Beluga Harbour or any Clovis The colonies of , all have a great demand for manpower, and there is no possibility of saturation in the short term.

In terms of transportation, I have reached a cooperation intention with the Cecil family in North Harbor; actively contacting them can also expand the influence of the Franz family in the North and the Royal Navy.

As I expected, after the peace talks in the elven kingdom of Iser, the expansion of Major General Ludwig Franz's influence in the Royal Army has been unstoppable; if you are really determined to compete with him or keep your To have a place in the world, it is necessary to find new allies in the wider world.

The Cecil family is a rare choice.

At present, the situation of the colonies around Beluga Harbour is relatively stable, but I believe this is only a temporary, or even superficial, situation; in fact, some clues are enough to prove that the situation is developing in an unpredictable direction, and riots and conflicts have already is an inevitable situation.

But in contrast, chaos is also an opportunity.

As long as they can seize the current opportunity and seize the opportunity before the conflict breaks out, the Franz family can occupy a firm place in the interests of the colony, and continue to expand and expand as the war progresses, becoming an inseparable part .

And you, who control this part of the interests, will also have a higher right to speak within the Franz family.

May the Franz family last forever, and may we meet again soon.

Your loyal follower, Anson Bach. "
