African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 293 Entry!

The tax package system, an old antique dug out of the trash, is a brand new version that the indigenous people have never seen before in sub-Saharan Africa.

Of course, this is only done in the newly occupied areas, such as Zambia and the Azande Plateau, which are close to East Africa. of immigrant populations can be implemented.

The Zambian government agencies have been established, and each area is in charge of high-ranking officials. There is no need to compromise with the indigenous forces. The Azande Plateau is relatively late because East Africa is not very active in the development here, but the Azande Plateau is next to the Great Wall. The lake area, so it is easy to control, and a large number of indigenous people have been emptied before, so there is no need to invest too much power.

……

Lake Solon (Lake Tanganyika).

Mprolong Port, this is a small fishing port at the southernmost end of Lake Sauron. Guided by the Kingdom of East Africa, Msiri finally arrived here with his core of [-] soldiers and civilians.

Before the arrival of Msiri, tens of thousands of indigenous people gathered here in East Africa, and the small shacks were all over the south bank of Lake Sauron, which was quite spectacular.

"Guide Capri, why are there so many black people gathered here?" Msiri asked, looking at the black people gathered on the shore.

Capri: "Your Excellency Msiri, they are a gift from the East African Kingdom. After all, where you are going, there are also many indigenous forces, so the population is also in urgent need. Most of these are East African indigenous people who can speak Swahili. They can understand your language, can accept your command, and they are all adult males, I believe you can use them to organize a powerful army, and then you can become the overlord in West Africa.”

There is such a good thing?Msiri couldn't believe that the people in East Africa were so kind. They gave them their population for free, wouldn't it be good to keep them to create wealth for themselves?

Capri went on to say: "Your Excellency Msiri, don't underestimate these people. They are all trained in East Africa, have strong organizational skills, and have strong experience in agriculture. Most of them came out of farms. , you take them to West Africa and you can continue to let them grow food and accumulate your personal wealth."

Capri’s words have basically dispelled the doubts. These are the “laborers” in East Africa, that is, slaves. Now these slaves are retiring, and Zanzibar can’t recruit so many “laborers”, and they also have to select people for recruitment. Well, Ottoman's customers are very strict about the quality of slaves, so they have to take Msiri's free ride to West Africa together.

As for whether to engage in agriculture, it is not sure. There are not a few people who build bridges and roads in East Africa and build houses. Anyway, they are all engaged in high-intensity work in East Africa.

Under these high-intensity projects in East Africa, these indigenous people look glamorous, but in fact they are extremely consumed. If they are lucky, they will be able to use them for a few more years, and they may become ill due to overwork and lose their ability to work. Maybe be the catcher.

East African pastures and captive cattle and horses are rapidly expanding. These cattle and horses can replace most of the natives. Moreover, when the cattle and horses are old, East Africans can still eat meat after slaughtering them, and their bones can be used for soup. These natives have no such function, and it is impossible to give them It would be too much trouble for them to find a pit to bury, and if the corpses were exposed in the wilderness, it might cause a plague, so taking advantage of this time to send away these old natives, or those with diseases and hidden injuries, both parties are happy.

Msiri: "I don't know what kind of food they will grow!"

Capri: "That's a lot. Basically, most of the crops in East Africa, they have experience, rice, wheat, bananas, potatoes..."

Msiri couldn't wait to step forward to check the situation of these gifts to the natives. He wanted to make sure that these East Africans were really so kind. He came to some natives at random and said in Swahili: "Stand up."

Then, he looked around a few people, and found that there was no major problem, his arms and legs were all there, his body was not swollen, and he was full of tendons, good guy!Stronger than some of the slaves of his tribe.

This has to be the food in East Africa. Although the slaves have a lot of work, most of them eat cassava and corn, but they are full of food, and they grow their own rations, especially cassava, which is drought-resistant, poor-resistant, and high-yielding. , can be harvested throughout the year.

As long as a large amount of wasteland is set aside in East Africa for these natives to grow cassava, they can basically satisfy the rations of these slaves without delaying the production of East Africa's own crops.

Msiri ordered: "You take two steps first and I'll take a look."

Several natives who had been "trained" by East Africa all the year round immediately followed Msiri's order and walked a few steps. After all, this "big man" stood with the East Africans. The terrible torture is confinement.

Msiri then let these aborigines do some high-difficulty sports. After repeated experiments, Msiri found that the East Africans really did not lie to themselves. These aborigines were of good quality and very healthy overall.

Msiri said with great satisfaction: "Mr. Capri, thank you very much for the gift from East Africa. These people are very nice."

"Hahaha, of course, Mr. Msiri, you are our friend in East Africa, and we in East Africa have always been very generous to our friends." Capri laughed, and then added silently in his heart, "No wonder!"

People are a kind of consumables, especially those who are engaged in heavy physical labor all year round. The same is true for these slaves in the East African Kingdom. Although they eat a lot, they are relatively simple in nutrition, and they have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time. At the same time, they were raised in captivity in East Africa. has been greatly consumed.

These slaves who were sent to Msiri were all given to Msiri according to their service time in East Africa based on the life span of European railway workers.

Although East African slaves do not work on railways, their workload is no less than that of European railway workers. At the same time, they are all heavy physical activities. That is, they are given to Msiri when they are in their best condition. Looks energetic and in good shape.

In fact, after going to West Africa with Msiri, if they continue to engage in heavy physical labor, they will definitely collapse in a certain period of time. Of course, if Msiri does not do this and slowly recuperates, they may still live for a long time.

For example, Msiri's army does not usually train very much, and basically relies on firepower to suppress indigenous opponents, and then follows Msiri to eat and drink spicy food. Among the African aboriginals, they are definitely the most nourishing group in life.

However, if Msiri really intends to take these East African slaves to West Africa to farm, the result may be different. The risk of these slaves dying suddenly at the same time is very high.

However, according to the speculation of the East African government, Msiri will not do this, because one of the characteristics of Msiri's regime is to plunder the wealth of other tribes and kingdoms. It's what Msiri does best.

In fact, East Africa's judgment was correct. At this time, Msiri had already made up his mind to use the slaves sent by East Africa to organize a regular combat force and go to West Africa to do a big job.

Conventional combat troops, that is, troops that do not use firearms, use firearms, which is the treatment only for Msiri's confidantes.

And the benefits of Msiri’s reuse of these East African slaves are obvious. Everyone speaks Swahili, that is, fellow villagers, their own people, and these slaves are all strong and strong, and they are all adult males. If you go to West Africa, you can Let those West Africans who have never seen the world see the fighting power of the Bantu people in East Africa.

To sum up Musiri's idea is two words "entering the customs". Musiri's all-black "Eight Banners" soldiers will go to West Africa together to earn prosperity and wealth for generations.

Of course, Msiri also found that the population that East Africa gave him was all "strong men" and there was no woman. But think about it, women are the wealth of war, and East Africa will definitely not give it to him casually. It doesn't matter. Go to Just go to West Africa and grab the locals.

This is because Msiri misunderstood East Africa. Children and women did not exist among the slaves in East Africa, and they had been driven to the northwest by East Africa long ago.

However, Msiri's careful thought of going to West Africa to snatch women was a mistake. Most of the indigenous women and children expelled from East Africa did go there, but they are now the assets of various tribes and kingdoms in West Africa.
