Chapter 65 The Rabbit Nest

The colonization of a planet by an empire is comprehensive.The impact of colonization is not as simple as "there are imperial citizens living on this planet".

It wasn't just the citizens who came to the colonies with the imperial settlers, but the species that came with the citizens to a whole new planet.

Most of these species that did not belong to the colony planet were introduced to the new colony planet due to economic reasons.Such as wheat, cattle and sheep, or pigs and dogs.Some species were introduced for special purposes, such as cats, various flowers and horses.

Only the three creatures, rats, fleas and rabbits... are the creatures that arrived in Newsail following the footsteps of immigrants without deliberately introducing them.

In the 400 years of the empire's expansion of the colonial planet, new economic crops have been continuously discovered by the colonists.But most of this development is due to "chance and coincidence".After all, there are no aborigines in the colonial planets where the empire expands, and there are no warm-hearted Indians who will come to teach the citizens of the empire, "This plant is poisonous" or "This plant is delicious".

The newly discovered economic crops, such as tea and other plants, are basically the result of the desperate efforts of the hungry poor.

At present, there has been a certain scale of planting substitute mother tea in Niusal, which is such a product.

Du Sande's goal now is very simple. He is going to find a rabbit hole and see what plants rabbits usually like to eat.

Rabbits have lived in Newsail for more than 170 years, and they are better adapted to the environment here than humans.Unlike Orin's rabbits, Bosenk's rabbits have even evolved the habit of building their own nests in order to protect themselves.

Rabbits in other areas tend to dig tunnels close to one meter deep underground, and continue to expand the size of the tunnels, eventually forming a complex underground cave network.But in Bosenck, the shallow soil here forced the rabbits to find another way.

They began to collect sticks and hay like their distant relatives.Relying on the bushes growing on the ground, it built a huge and strong shelter for itself.

Such a shelter would protect against the wild dogs that roam the moors, as well as the native sea eagles that soar through the sky.

There is often more than one rabbit living in a huge shelter, and these bushes, which look like dry haystacks from a distance, have become Dusand's best guideposts for finding rabbits.

After finding a rabbit nest, Dusand found a comfortable position and lay down on the hillside.He looked at the rabbit's nest in the distance, and began to think about the next "work content."

After the village is certified as an imperial town, Bosenk's threat to the town will plummet.With the police and postmen stationed in the town, once Bosenk organizes a large-scale attack on the town, it will be directly regarded as a rebellion.

Even if my father can't persuade the Commodore General, it is impossible for the General to bring a fleet to slaughter an imperial town.

When the town is safe, the residents in the town are also safe.If Dusande agreed to Finn, more than half of the work would be completed.

Making the lives of the poor better is not part of the agreement between Dusand and Finn, but it is Dusand's "personal hobby".

The remaining half of the content is mainly focused on dealing with Bosenk Fishing Company.

Finn's hatred for the fishing company even put Dusande under pressure.

The two parties cannot be said to have cooperated happily, at least it can be regarded as a bloody feud.

Although the Boysenc Fishing Company has sent out some outsourcing tasks to Finn's village from time to time, in essence, they are still "sustainably exhausting fish."The Boysenk Fishery Company, which controls almost all the passages for goods entering and exiting Bosenk, and also has the pricing power, has never thought about letting the poor live well.

Use addictive substances to attract people, use superior geographical environment and relatively "easy" life to attract people, and then use the price difference formed by high-priced commodities and low-priced turtles to harvest the last coin from the poor.

It is extremely tolerant and generous to use the word wicked to describe Bosenke Fishing Company.And Finn hated Boysenk Fishing Company.

Killing this organization and institution entrenched in Bosenk 120 will allow Dusande to gain great trust and even loyalty from Finn.And it can bring a brand new town to the empire, and a lot of tax revenue.

Although the lives of the poor will not be greatly improved immediately, at least no bosenk fishing company will exploit them.They can also have a better life.

Another win-win - the poor were happy, Finn was happy, the Empire was happy, even Dusand himself was happy, and a world where only Boysenc Fishing was hurt was born.

perfect.

Dusand held a straw stick in his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at the rabbit's nest in the distance.In fact, these rabbit nests are also a good source of fuel.Although dead grass and twigs are not burned, they are better than nothing.Maybe after returning to the village, you can try to teach the villagers primitive technologies such as wood-burning stoves?Gather grass from a nearby rabbit nest and burn it, at least to keep them warm.

"Village Chief Finn, someone is looking for you." Finn was wiping his gun in his room when a few skinny kids with sniveling noses broke into his dilapidated house noisily, chattering at him. As Finn described what he saw, "There's a big carriage!" "It's an old man!" "The beards are all white!"

Based on the descriptions of the children, Finn couldn't figure out who it was.But this does not prevent him from sending two children to find Du Sande first.

"Go and call back the little boy who was tied up the day before yesterday—he should be looking for a rabbit nest outside." Finn quickly assembled the gun in his hand, and after pulling the slide to finish loading, he closed the safety and put the gun away. Put it into his trouser pocket, and then asked, "Where is that old man you mentioned?"

"It's over there at Tom's house!" Several children automatically divided the tasks, the ones who ran fast went to call Dusande, while the ones who ran slowly surrounded Finn, chattering about what they saw.

From Finn's house to "Tom's house", that is a few minutes away.When Finn arrived, the old man in a well-crafted suit was already waiting under the carriage.

The suit is elegant, and the leather shoes on the feet are shiny.But this old man with not much hair on his head did not have a particularly obvious "dislike" for this small muddy village like other "visitors" from Bosenk.He stood on the muddy ground, not caring that his shiny leather shoes were covered with mud spots.He even showed kind smiles to the children who surrounded him and looked at him and the steam carriage curiously.

　Recently, I watched a lot of Tongliao Gezong's videos, so that when I wrote something, I unconsciously... moved closer to this convenience.

　　Just take it as a meme, although the fishery company is indeed in great need and will never forget it...
