The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, Marin originally planned to confer William the Duke of Argentina or the Duke of La Plata. Moreover, his plan is to allow William to rule and develop the Argentine region in the future.

However, both Argentina and La Plata mean "silver" in Spanish. If you really give William such a title, it will definitely attract the coveted eyes of other countries. Therefore, after much deliberation, Marin still planned to give the title of "Duke of Pampas", low-key and safe.

To be honest, the Pampas grassland covers an area of ​​760,000 square kilometers, which is much larger than France. Such a large piece of fertile land is really a waste as a principality.

But Marin has no choice, because he considers that the North Sea State will not have so much energy to manage the entire Americas in the future. But a North American region will consume a lot of manpower and material resources to develop. On the other side of South America, it is inevitable that there is no time to take care of it.

However, it seems too wasteful to leave the fertile South American region alone. Therefore, Marin made up his mind after William was born-to hand over the Argentine region to William to rule and develop.

After all, William was his own son, and he didn't feel sorry for throwing such a large and fertile pampas grassland to him. It would be depressing if the Argentine region was occupied by foreign countries because I had no time to take care of it.

And, no matter what, William is also a subject of Beihai Kingdom. Although it will allow it to self-govern, but in name, Argentina is still a country of the North Sea. Once there is a conflict with other forces, Argentina will definitely stand on the side of the North Sea country.

Beihai is too small, and its population is too small. The current North Sea country annexing the Americas is a bit like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it can't eat it at all. So far, the North Sea State has only developed a few places on the American continent, such as New York, Savannah, and the mouth of the La Plata River, which is far from developing the entire American continent.

Not to mention developing the entire American continent, even if the east coast of North America is completely developed, the North Sea country will not be able to do it. The reason why the area at the mouth of the La Plata River was developed was purely because there was no need to cut down trees and dig out roots, so it was more convenient to develop.

But Marin really didn't have the energy to develop such a large piece of land far away, but the Pampas grassland is so fertile, it would be a pity to discard it...

Therefore, Marin finally planned to wait for William to grow up, and give him a population of more than 100,000 to 200,000 people, and let him manage the place well. Don't dare to say anything else, there is no problem being a toubob.

Of course, as the second son, there are limits to the territory that William can expand. For example, Peru and Bolivia in the northwest of Argentina, including the deserts in northern Chile, are not given. After all, the saltpeter from Chile and the silver from Peru and Bolivia are all strategic materials that can only be controlled by the main line of the North Sea Kingdom.

In other words, where William can have fun in the future,

That is, the Argentina of later generations, including the Uruguayan generation of later generations. If the population is sufficient, the southern Brazil and Paraguay regions can also be annexed. But these territories are enough for William to build a powerful country here. The premise is that the population is sufficient.

Later generations of Argentina took pains to increase the population. In the 19th century, Argentina had a population of only one million, and there was simply not enough labor to develop such a large land.

Fortunately, both Germany and Italy in the 19th century were torn apart and warring. For this reason, Argentina introduced a large number of Italian and German immigrants in the middle and late 19th century. Especially Italian immigrants, because of the hegemony between Austria and France in Italy and the Italian unification war, many Italians immigrated to Argentina during that time. In the back hand, Italian-Argentines are as high as 62.5%. Messi, the legendary briquette king, seems to be of Italian descent. Because the name Messi is an Italian-style name.

...

Marin didn't care about whether William would recruit unexpected Italian immigrants from Germany in the future. As long as at the beginning, let the Germans establish a stable social order locally. Then, even if the latecomers have a high proportion, it is useless.

This is evident in the United States. In the United States of later generations, there are many more Germans than British. But that was of no use, because the English descendants came earlier and had already established a stable social order in the thirteen North American states, and English as a common language was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although more and more Germans came later, they could only accept the original social order and language because of their late arrival.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the arrival of German immigrants in batches. If German immigrants immigrated in a short period of time and overwhelmed the British, the language of the United States might have changed a long time ago. But German immigrants came over in batches and were slowly digested by the United States. Therefore, there is no situation where the guest usurps the host.

The same is true of Marin's plan for William-first use 200,000 German immigrants to gain a firm foothold on the Pampas grasslands, establish a solid social order, and establish a compulsory education system with German as the only official language. Then, start recruiting immigrants of other ethnicities. In this way, even if other ethnic groups come, they must abide by the original social order and eventually integrate into it...

...

Taking advantage of the opportunity to allocate the territory to William, Marin saw that Caesar was now sensible and would not leak secrets casually, so he explained the situation in America to Caesar by the way...

"This is North America, where the climate is pleasant and there are many plains, which are very suitable for agriculture. If all the areas on the east coast are developed, then the people of Beihai will have no problem eating white bread and beef..."

"What?" Caesar opened his mouth in surprise. He remembered that many nobles in Beihai Kingdom couldn't afford to eat white bread all at once. As for eating beef all at once, it seems that the Marin family can't do it either...

Marin smiled and said to himself—what is this? The American soldiers at the lowest level in later generations can eat canned beef until they vomit, let alone the upper class.

There's no way, that's how it is in North America. Whether it is the United States or Canada, future generations will be the leaders in the agricultural world. People have so much food and beef that they can't finish it. If it weren't for the population explosion in the future world and the high demand for food and meat, maybe people would still want to abandon it.

You know, the farmers in the United States in later generations are very envious of the Chinese diaosi. There are thousands of acres of land in the family, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep, so they have to hire a large number of cowboys to help raise cattle. As for raising sheep, rely directly on sheepdogs...

The peasants of the later generations of Huaxia were even more miserable. Because there are so many people and so little land, each farmer has only a few acres of land. For example, Marin, in his previous life, his family only had six or seven acres of land. This is also because their home is in the Jianghuai Plain and there is more arable land. It is even worse in those mountainous areas, because the arable land is burned, and each family may only have one or two acres of land, which is still dry land...

Before the later generations traveled, Marin saw the Internet news bragging that the peasants were in their early years. Marin just wants to say - what about blowing Nima? How many acres of land at home can still grow gold? The farmers who really started to make a fortune are only those who originally lived in the suburbs and were later demolished. Or, the scenery in my hometown is so beautiful that it has a booming tourism industry. For ordinary farmers, gold cannot grow on a few acres of thin land. Even with agricultural subsidies, there are not many grandchildren...

If I really want to make a fortune in agriculture, I have to be like Lao Mei, who has hundreds of hectares of land at home to make money. Of course, purely farming does not make a fortune. There are mainly agricultural subsidies, the more fields, the more subsidies...

However, this is the case in later generations. Because, in the later generations of the world, except for some uncivilized countries in Africa that waste a lot of land for nature reserves, most countries in the world have reclaimed too many grain fields. Everyone cultivates the land and uses modern agricultural technology. The agricultural output is high, and the agricultural products naturally cannot be sold at a price.

Regardless of the high cost of food for future generations, it is not because of the high price of agricultural products, but because of the high rent of restaurants. These are all included in the cost. In order to make money, the price of food is naturally not low. If you buy your own food and cook, it doesn't cost much.

In this era, whoever has arable land is responsible. For example, in Germany, the fertile land along the river was basically occupied by nobles. The land that does not depend on the river, because the agricultural irrigation technology is backward, is of little value, and can only grow rye with vitality like weeds...

In North America in this era, there is a lot of land beside the big river. For example, along the Hudson River, Albert directed immigrants to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of arable land. This is just the area along the lower Hudson River, not to mention that the Hudson River is just a small river among countless rivers in North America. Replaced by a super river like the Mississippi River, the land that can be reclaimed is even more deadly...

If North America is cultivated, the grain and beef produced can feed the people of all Europe to death...
