Lord of Industrialization
Chapter 489 Establishing a Colony
In this era, people who go out to work are ambitious, and Xu Ke is no exception. Otherwise, he would not leave the skilled workers in the vehicle factory alone and travel so far to do business.
Xu Ke thought about the fellow villagers in Nedros City now. There were almost twenty of them, involved in various industries such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
However, there are no mutual aid organizations such as hometown associations here, and everyone is just like a loose sand.
Judging from the current situation, more and more fellow villagers will come here to do business in the future. If I take the opportunity of Archduke Weisen's visit to take the lead in establishing a hometown association, I can become the president.
Xu Ke thought about his advantages. Although he was young and not that rich, it was enough that he had known Grand Duke Weisen since he was a child.
Then he received another slap on the head from Frederick.
"This is the headquarters of the Church of Nature!" Frederick said while taking pictures. "Not only do we have to consider economic issues here, but we also have political influence."
"We, a bunch of pagans, are already doing very well doing business here. What do we want to do if we get together again?"
People around him also echoed, accusing Xu Ke of thinking too simply.
There were not only the two of them on the deck of the ship, but also many businessmen, captains, and sailors fishing on the side of the ship.
Frederick didn't want outsiders to know too much about something, so he chose the place where the fellow villagers gathered on a cargo ship and called it a fishing trip.
Frederick chatted with them for a while. There was no big problem for the merchants to do business here, but many tribes here bartered, which was not convenient.
Frederick had no idea about this.
Merchants also took the initiative to go out and do business with tribes in the interior, but the situation was not very good. People in the interior were not as open-minded as those in the port areas and were unwilling to receive strangers who they did not know.
This can only be done slowly, by first supporting agents to carry out trade. Only when trade expands and reputation is built can the inherent concepts be changed.
Next Frederick came to the captain's cabin and talked with others about some things that were not easy to say publicly.
The two sides are still in the honeymoon period. The merchants have not encountered any difficulties, but the public security is not very good. Some tribesmen buy and sell by force with their fists.
When the last merchant came in, Frederick got up and poured him tea.
Janis was flattered and hurriedly thanked the master.
He took out a piece of cloth from his arms and unfolded it to reveal a huge and detailed map with mountains, rivers and the locations of a large number of tribes and mineral resources in the north. It was much more detailed than the map given by the Nature Church.
Frederick saw that he was thinner than when the tulip bubble burst, with sunken eye sockets and half of his hair falling out, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Thank you for your hard work." Frederick said to him, "Go back and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You will be responsible for the work in the north."
Janis's eyes lit up. After nine years, he finally got through it.
He immediately said: "It's not hard at all to work for the master."
Frederick just said: "You have been away from Weissenburg for so long, and the city has changed a lot. I want to get together with everyone more when I go back."
Janis immediately agreed.
No matter when you are doing things, you need friends to take care of each other, especially when you are an official.
All the old people around Frederick are now prosperous, not to mention those who are officials. Such talented blacksmiths and carpenters now earn more a year than Frederick did before. The attendants and servants in the castle are the worst offenders. There are also one or two small factories.
Johnny was supposed to have a high status in this circle, but he went astray and became a gangster's protector, and was sent to the north.
Now Frederick asked him to go back and gather with those people, indicating that he was allowed to return to that circle.
Frederick looked at the map and asked him: "Where is the grouse forest?"
Janis immediately pointed to a place about a thousand kilometers northeast of Nedros City and said: "This area, with a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers, is full of pine forests, and only a few small tribes on the edge go inside to enlarge horned deer and catch grouse. ”
"It is surrounded by mountains to the west, a long lake to the north, and a river leading to the sea to the east."
He pointed to a tribe on the edge of the forest and said: "This antlered tribe goes deep into the forest to herd deer during the day, and they can often pick up iron ore from it."
Frederick nodded slightly. This forest was too remote. Janis did not go deep into it and only recorded the scope of hearsay.
If there is really considerable iron ore in it, a railway can be built to the west and a port can be built directly on the seaside, completely avoiding the existing tribal sphere of influence.
Janis guessed what the leader might be thinking and asked, "Sir, do you want to look for iron ore in there?"
Frederick nodded.
After confirming the leader's idea, Janis said: "The minerals here are very rich, there are coal mines in the north, and there are fishing boats picking up coal on the shore to keep warm."
Frederick already understood very well why putting more oil in the dishes would attract the US military. Now you can pick up ore in the fields and you can also attract the Wesson army.
Capital has the nature of profit-seeking and expansion, and its essential characteristic and fundamental purpose is to maximize value-added in the cyclic movement of production.
An industrial society needs sufficient raw materials, energy, trade routes and markets. Only in this way can the operation of the entire industrial system be ensured. If there is a problem in one link, the system will be damaged or even collapse.
This makes the national policy of the Principality of Wesson must be based on this. The previous trade route wars were launched to maintain the economic cycle, and there will be such wars in the future.
Of course, obtaining resources and markets does not necessarily involve war; there are many other ways.
The original meaning of a colony was an outpost or military base for trading outside the territory. Later, it became a settlement established by a country in the conquered area to obtain new resources for the mother country.
"Alas..." Frederick sighed helplessly.
It is certainly a good choice to take advantage of the opportunity to build a tribe to establish colonies, but currently your own navy is approximately zero. The army's focus is to defend the homeland and cannot protect colonies far away from the homeland.
He just smiled at Feisen's suggestion to let the descendants of himself, Walqiulei and others manage the tribe. By then, his son would be trained by the church, and it would be a question of which way to turn his elbows.
This kind of thing happened too many times in history. Helping other people raise their children, and then helping to seize the inheritance rights, then they will turn to others.
In the future, by controlling the marriage of the next generation and other operations, the territory will be annexed.
Frederick was not politically naive enough to believe that blood ties were greater than the sky. In his previous life, he had seen brothers from distant relatives doing everything possible to grab inheritances. In the end, the eldest brother who thought he had won became brothers because he smoked too much and developed lung cancer. The first to die.
I have seen more examples in my life. The most important thing the Rhine League's Heraldry Court does is to adjudicate such inheritance disputes.
Frederick had some ideas in his mind after listening to Janis's talk about the locations of the main minerals that he had found out about.
