Simulate the heavens from Faerûn

Chapter 79 Meeting [Please recommend, collect and invest]

"I am the incarnation of the God of the sky and the sun. I uphold God's will and save you from suffering. I grant Rhodes the Mandate of Heaven in the name of God and educate the rest of civilization..."

Rey looked at the pious and fanatical appearance of the natives below, knowing that his goal had been achieved, he said loudly without wasting time.

After all, this matter is also a huge drain on the audience. Whether it is the distortion of the soul, the output of faith, or the state of piety and fanaticism, it is a huge drain on their spirit. It must be resolved quickly, otherwise they will be killed after a while. Will fall into a coma due to exhaustion of mental energy.

After declaring the sacred and inviolable destiny of the Rhodes family and himself and gaining unanimous support from the natives, Rey also recovered his body and quickly exited the sanctuary.

Then Rey brought these apathetic natives to the banquet.

Regarding the banquet, Rey and Marquis Moraits do not have high requirements, and they are not too particular about anything. What is important is that their people can eat well, eat happily, and have a relatively good atmosphere.

As a pioneer lord, sometimes you really don't need to pay too much attention to things. After all, most of his subordinates are rough people who eat with their heads on their belts. It is better to let them work hard than to pay attention to etiquette.

As long as his subordinates remember the difference between superiority and inferiority, be loyal to their lord, and won't go crazy and forget their identity after drinking too much horse urine, Rey's requirements for them are so low for the time being.

The banquet hall was brightly lit and the scene was in full swing, somewhat similar to the lively scene of Shuibo Liangshan heroes gathering for dinner.

The dining table is filled with a dazzling array of delicacies, and there are countless jade liquid and golden waves. The banquets are intertwined with the banquets, and the waiters are constantly coming and going.

However, there were also many people with discerning eyes who noticed something abnormal, and they kept thinking in their minds as they looked at the aborigines whose mental state was obviously not right.

Although they don’t know what happened to these indigenous leaders after going out with Rey, they feel that the indigenous people have become more obedient and even pious and superstitious towards the lord and his family...

This could not help but make the people present feel a chill in their hearts. They also became more frightened and curious about the lord's family, and their posture became lower and more submissive.

I have to say that as a qualified feudal noble slave owner, Rey is very good at training people and controlling people's hearts.

…………

After the banquet, a group of people moved to the conference room and started the meeting.

As the "big boss", Marquis Morais took the main seat, and as the host, he opened the meeting by speaking a bunch of words that were less nutritious than nonsense, which enlivened the atmosphere and created a good meeting environment.

After finishing speaking, Marquis Morais smiled faintly, lowered his head to drink tea, and handed over the stage and power to Rey, the deputy seater.

Well, in the past year or two, Marquis Molec has been intentionally transferring his various powers, positions, and status to Rey, and has begun to slowly fade out of the center of power and gradually retreat to the second line.

As always, Rey did not disappoint Marquis Moretz. Rey gradually took over the baton of power passed from his father, leading the family to stride forward and flourish.

The people here now, except for the Rey family, are all high-end wage earners, tool workers and even slaves of the Rhodes family.

These people need to spend countless efforts and time, and have countless corpses of enemies and subordinates lying at their feet, before they can officially become a member of the Rhodes family's interest group when they are rewarded based on their merits and the cake is divided in the final moment of glory ( Nobles), I think that when I came to that time, there were not so many familiar faces now.

Now is an important moment for them to make contributions and accumulate merits.

"Now let's report on everyone's work! Shane Lolly, you go first!"

Rey tapped the table lightly with one hand and picked up the quill with the other hand to write down on the paper.

"Yes, Lord Earl! Hello everyone! I am Shane Lowry, responsible for the immigration management in the territory."

"Last year, about 6 new immigrants were introduced to our territory, including about 3 white slaves, more than 1 black slaves, more than 6000 freedmen, and more than 14000 private slaves of lords."

"So far, there are about 36 white people in the territory, of which the largest number are about 24 white slaves, more than 8 free people, and more than 4 private slaves."

"There are about 25 white adult men and about 6 women. There are 8 new newborns over August. This year..."

"You're doing well, but this year you must introduce at least 4 adult white female slaves. You must increase your purchasing efforts from Air Island and Bailuo continent..."

Rey nodded with satisfaction. He was relatively satisfied with the number and growth rate of white people, but it was far from enough. He opened his mouth to increase the burden on Shane Lowry. Among these people, he was most concerned about the situation of white people.

This is entirely because the butt determines the head. As a white man and a white colonial ruler, no matter what factors he considers, if he wants to achieve stable rule, he must increase the number of white people.

This can be understood as a kind of "political correctness". As a white man, Rey must promote the white man as the main ethnic group in the territory and improve the status of the white man.Nothing good or evil, just peace of mind.

After caring about the future subject, Rey turned his attention to the current dominant ethnic group in the territory-the Indians.

"Atap!"

"My lord, I am here!"

"Please report on the situation of the Indians and Eskies."

An old priest with white hair and colorful patterns painted on his face stood up.

"My lord, out of the 186 tribes currently in the territory, a total of 18 people have been mobilized to join the army, and 60 tribes have officially decided to settle down and become the farming tribe."

"Thirty tribes have decided to join the livestock farm plan. Among the remaining tribes, some are not allowed to relocate due to location issues and live in settlements on various islands and borders, and some are because tribal mergers have not yet resulted..."

"My lord, more than 350 million of us are willing to serve you until death!"

"Well, very good! Very good! I will always remember your achievements..."

After listening to Atap's report, Rey stood up very happily and expressed his deep appreciation to Atap and the tribal leadership.

In just this wave, the indigenous tribes solved several difficult problems for him.

The first is the agricultural problem. Regarding the agricultural population problem, Rey has been worried about it for a long time and has never been able to solve it.

Rey doesn't have many white people under his command who can be assigned to agriculture, only about 10 at most, but this is unrealistic. He still needs these white people to open up colonial settlements everywhere, and the most they can allocate to agriculture is 7 Thousands of people.

But these 7 people were allocated to the vast land north of 49 degrees north latitude. Even if it was just in the plains, they would still be sprinkled with water, without causing any disturbance.In other places, conditions are not good because there are no people within a hundred miles. But here in Rey, it is just because there are too many people and few horses. The vast land and sparse population really reflect this.

Now with the addition of 60 people who are willing to settle down and become farming tribes, Rey has at least about 80 to 100 more people.

More than 100 million people, it makes Rey excited to think about it. This means that he can build at least 60 large-scale farming settlements along the east-west cross-road and north-south thoroughfare on the western and southern plains.

This will not only greatly enhance Rey's control over the territory, but also enhance the independence of the territory. Finally, it will greatly enhance the war potential of Rupert's territory.

The war is all about money and food, and money - Rey has no shortage of it (after all, most of the soldiers are private slaves and indigenous slaves, how much money do they need!? The main thing is to reduce the contract period and improve their status).

The important thing is food, and food has two dilemmas: one is quantity, and the other is transportation.

As for the quantity, it is easier to understand. After all, in a war with 10,000+ or ​​tens of 10 people fighting for months or years, the amount of food consumed by people eating horse chews is simply astronomical.

Buy, how to buy, who can sell such a large quantity, who dares to sell, can only rely on grain reserves and self-cultivation.

This requires Rey to need a large number of concentrated and dispersed food growing areas (larger, concentrated, smaller, scattered) food growing areas, and agriculture during this period was very population-intensive.

As for transportation, it is food transportation.Rey remembered that in the food supply in ancient Donghua, from the time of departure to the final arrival at the terminal, it was extremely lucky to have three successes of food at the time of departure, and it was often impossible to save even one in a hundred.

Transporting human and animal losses, natural losses, accidental losses... makes food transportation very difficult.This requires that food should be collected nearby and transported easily.

This coincides with Rey's plan. Rey's main front will be near the north-south center line of the Great Plains, and the auxiliary front will be in the western coastal areas. They are all relatively close to agricultural planting areas.

Well, now that there is a population, Rey turns to another goal, which is agricultural technology. The Indians' agricultural technology is still very backward, and Rey happens to have a comprehensive agricultural technology book from Donghua.

So Rey selectively selected some content and let the indigenous priests learn it. Now that it has been 5 years, there should be very good results.

"Putiya, as the person in charge of agricultural sacrificial training, please introduce some aspects of agricultural technology."

An Indian priest with a lot of dried herbs on his body stood up, danced and danced, very excited, and began his long speech.

"Yes, my Lord! Since five years ago, I have learned the extremely advanced agricultural knowledge given by my Lord. During this period, through continuous practice, I have gradually mastered this knowledge and trained hundreds of agricultural workers in this regard. Sacrifice.”

“The knowledge given by God introduces the methods of collecting and fermenting manure, as well as the application conditions and advantages and disadvantages of water and dry fertilizers in farmyard manure. It also includes reclamation of wasteland, development of soil fertility, coping with changes in disaster years, and rules for planting adjustments, etc. "

"I will focus on introducing retting and fertilizer making technology... In addition to the difference between water manure and dry manure for fertility cultivation, I also introduced several other fertilizers, such as bone meal. The bone meal made by crushing animal bones is spread into the fields, which has an impact on grain production. The improvement is twice that of dry manure.”

"Since our studies, we have been practicing in Wendoburg, Newfoundland. We have begun to focus on guiding the fertilizer production work in Wendoburg, and let the manure collectors collect the feces from each household and cook each household. The ashes left over from burning firewood for heating are also collected, and the ashes can be mixed with manure and used.”

"At the same time, fish gills, fish intestines, fish scales and other waste materials that are not used when drying fish are also poured together with feces for heat fermentation. Animal organs and fish scales are also excellent fertilizers, as well as the bones left over from eating meat. It is also necessary to smash it and mix it into the manure pit, so as to enhance the fertility and fertilizer content of the fertilizer."

"We later discovered that almost any domestic waste can be made into fertilizer. Even old rags, rotten clothes, etc. can be burned to ashes and poured into the manure pit for composting."

"By using these fertilizers, we can increase the yield by two or three times, two or three times. What an incredible thing. Thanks to the grace given by our Lord..."

Rey nodded. It was indeed true. Rey found that the agricultural book was really all-encompassing, specific yet subtle, and very useful. It was indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of advanced productivity in contemporary agriculture.

Rey, who had read a few books before, basically only knew about manure retting and plant ash in the dirty streets, and the soybean cultivation he learned in biology class.

Because the rhizomes of soybean vegetation will release nitrogen in the soil, if you no longer perform land rotation after planting food, but plant a crop of soybeans, cowpeas, etc. to fix nitrogen, and then plant food again the next year, the land will still have good fertility. , As long as manure, plant ash, etc. are added every year, all cultivated land will be able to ensure continuous high yield.

Putiya suddenly mentioned another thing. He raised his hands and said loudly, "There is also cotton. This year we will plant cotton in the new southern territories."

"Cotton is a good thing! According to knowledge records, the lint of cotton can be used to make quilts and cotton clothes. The lint of spinning cotton can be used to make quilts and cotton clothes. Cotton seeds can be squeezed for oil and eaten. The stems are solid and can be used as firewood. The best fuel, it can be said that cotton is full of treasures, and it is a sharp tool that can improve people's living standards..."

There are dozens of kinds of fabrics in the world, but the basic categories are linen, kapok, silk, cashmere, cotton, etc.

Currently, the most expensive and most comfortable clothes in the world are made of silk and cotton. Although cotton is slightly less expensive than silk, it is far more expensive than linen and kabu.

Due to its backward agriculture, Bailuozhou's cultivated land has been used to grow food, and there is basically no experience or history in growing cotton. Cotton cloth is currently imported, and its price is second only to silk.

At present, the producer of silk and cotton cloth is Donghua, the kingdom of heaven, and it has gathered massive wealth from all over the world.

The rise of the Daying Empire is supported by the Indian natives working hard to grow sugar cane, grain, cotton and even drugs. Otherwise, with the size of the three islands, there will be no world-class power at all, and even other colonies will be far away. Not as good as India.

With the continuous expansion of the Indian colonies, cotton production also increased significantly. Supported by cheap raw materials, the Chinese textile industry began to flourish. Then in the early 19th century, the Chinese began to plant a large amount of cotton in North Gray Island.Then he made cotton cloth for sale, becoming the second largest cotton cloth exporter in the world after Donghua.

After Rey learned about cotton planting technology from agricultural books and that cotton is the cash crop with the highest economic value in contemporary times, he planned to stop it.

Rey plans to use the sea island cotton seeds in his hand to plant a large number of them on the vast plain southwest of his home.

Not only because of its huge economic value, but also because of its own interests, because the Rhodes family currently owns a large amount of land in the cold zone, plus the newly captured Green Island, which requires a large amount of warm enough clothes, and cotton Just met this condition.

"Okay, Putia, please sit down first. Ralph Linton, please introduce the situation of the army."

Rey interrupted the chattering Putiya and asked a young white man to make a job introduction.

"Yes, Lord Earl! Currently, the military factories affiliated with our army can produce more than 1 fine flintlock muskets and 80 rounds of paper shell ammunition every year."

"The shipyard can now manufacture warships with a draft of about 1800 tons, and there are currently three ships under construction. There are about 35000 full-time soldiers in the army, and..."
