Chapter 1610 Closing the mountain, searching the mountain and setting fire to the mountain

Marin had a comprehensive plan for immigration and development in the Americas. Previously, for various reasons, Marin's American colonies were only tens of thousands of immigrants from Cape Breton Island and New York, as well as thousands of people from Savannah, Cuba, Grenada and Pampas grasslands. Panama, due to the harsh climate, mainly black uncles, and only more than one thousand whites.

Total, these colonial populations are not counted as black uncles, but only 60,000 to 70,000. Among them, the most important one is the 50,000 English refugees. These refugees are the refugees who destroyed several counties in northern England when Socrates invaded England.

Because in order to prevent anyone from robbing business, Marin deliberately demonized the American continent. As a result, Marin also suffered from his own suffering - not many German immigrants were willing to go to the American continent.

But Marin could not explain it yet, because as soon as he explained it, other countries would become interested in the Americas. Therefore, he could only endure it. He finally seized the opportunity of a peasant uprising to force the immigrant population to the Americas on a large scale.

In the future, Marin plans to mainly occupy and develop core areas such as New York and Pennsylvania. The English are mainly arranged by the sea, mainly fishing and whaling.

The strengths of the English are mainly navigation and raising sheep. They are not proficient in farming. If it weren't for the suppression of the army, they would not be willing to cultivate the land carefully. Therefore, when Germany immigrated enough, it would be better to arrange them to fish or sail, which would be considered as freeing their talents.

As for German immigrants, most of them were land ducks, they valued more land and liked to farm safely. In addition, German farmers were obedient...

Although German farmers' talent for farming is not much better than that of English and cannot be compared with Chinese farmers, Germans are more obedient and obedient than English. The serfdom for thousands of years has made German farmers accustomed to obeying the orders of the nobles and have always been more honest. Even participating in the peasant uprising was because the nobles were too oppressed and they could not survive, so they had no choice but to rise up. For example, in the northern German areas, there were enough fields to plant them, so there were no peasant uprisings.

England is different. Since the outbreak of the "Watt Taylor" peasant uprising in 1381, the serfdom in England began to disintegrate. Throughout the 15th century, most English serfs redeemed their free bodies and became self-cultivated farmers.

Self-cultivated farmers have a strong sense of self and are difficult to manage. For example, if there weren’t two thousand colonial troops under the pressure, Albert would have been a little unable to control the English immigrants.

Moreover, in the past two years, those English immigrants have also begun to make a little noise. The main thing is that those English immigrants want to redeem their serfs and become self-cultivated farmers...

The reason is very simple - these English immigrants were originally self-cultivated farmers in China. A few years ago, because the domestic food was snatched away by Scotland and they were too hungry to survive, so they accepted the serfs who went to America and became Marin.

In the first few years, they were indeed very honest. After all, compared to the time when food was snatched away by the Scottish army, it was much better to be a serf for Marin to be a serf.

However, after many years, they gradually forgot the kindness of being a serf for Marin to be a serf, and began to want more...

If it were German peasants, they might not have had such an idea. Because German serfdom has always been like this, and it is justified to listen to the lords. But the English peasants are different. They have worked as self-cultivating farmers and know the freedom to be self-cultivating farmers.

Therefore, after being a stable serf for several years, they began to try to ask Albert for the right to redeem their serf status, wanting to be a self-cultivated farmer...

Of course, Albert did not agree to their request. After all, this hole cannot be opened casually. But Marin knew that once these people had this idea, they could no longer hold back. Those who had been masters would not be willing to be slaves forever. One day, these Englishmen would make trouble.

So, Marin is also very straightforward - you don’t want to be serfs, right? No problem! As long as the German immigrants are in place, we will give you freedom! Not only will we give you freedom, but we will also lend you money to buy boats, let you be the owners and fishermen!

Just so happens that there is no fish fish in Newfoundland fishing grounds. These Englishmen will definitely be able to catch a lot of fish. At that time, the Germans will farm and the English will catch fish... No, you can also recruit sailors or even sailors from the English... It's all for the sake of the people...

Of course, when English men go fishing, women can’t do nothing. They can grazle sheep at home, watching the children while grazing sheep... It doesn’t take much physical strength to grazle sheep, women can do it. Besides, they can also use the sheepdog to help!

As for farming, let the honest and obedient German farmers come! Then, the two sides exchange supplies. The English exchanged grain and meat with the Germans with the catch and wool, and everyone could live a good life...

In the future, when England and the North Sea Kingdom were united, Marin's descendants could recruit army soldiers in the North Sea Kingdom and sailors in England. Everyone performed their own duties and used their own strengths...

To be honest, it is really a waste to make the English colonial overlords. The talent of these guys is to catch fish and be pirates, and they insist on occupying the land. As a result, the land occupied by the English was developed, but it mainly relies on black slaves to farm. The English men are unwilling to engage in this kind of physical labor.

In the later years, the agriculture took off in the United States because they introduced many German and Irish immigrants to develop agriculture with peace of mind. Originally, the colonies of the Thirteen State were mainly planted with plantations that planted cash crops. To tell me a real story, Jamestown, the first colony in North America, did not engage in agriculture at all, and the food was mainly supplied by the Indians. In the 17th century, Jamestown was besieged by the Indians because of his rebellion with the Indians, and lost his food source and starved to death. Then, the British colonists in Jamestown survived by eating the bodies of their compatriots...

Of course, we can't blame the British for not being willing to farm with peace of mind. Instead, they have a better way to make money, so why do they have to farm? The English are good at sailing, and the profits of navigation trade are very high, which is much more cost-effective than farming. Therefore, the English go to maritime trade. Only Germans and Irish people are more arduous and will dig food in the land. Of course, the English also farm. However, they usually use black slaves, or hire Germans or Irish people to farm, and become their own masters...
