Chapter 912 Immigration Company (II)

Soon, Kohler arrived:

"Young Master, are you looking for me?"

Marin nodded and motioned for Kohler to sit down. After Kohler sat down, Marin asked:

"I once asked you to take some people from the spies of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce to study with some people who are trafficked for a period of time, how is it, have you learned anything?"

This is what Marin had taken into account when he introduced the population at the beginning, and those vassal states would definitely not let Marin lead away the population without restraint, and he was still young and strong. So, Marin thought of this in the first place. To this end, he specially asked Kohler to make some preparations. Mainly, learn some side ways.

Of course, it is not to learn how those scum abduct and sell people, but to learn how they bring the abducted and trafficked people to distant places without realizing it.

The so-called snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and those scum are still very experienced in how to avoid official investigations and take the abducted people to distant places to sell. What Marin taught Kohler's spies was how to secretly move people over long distances.

After thinking for a while, Kohler said:

"I've paid attention to this matter, and there are probably dozens of spies at the moment, and I'm familiar with the tricks. These tricks are nothing more than taking mountain roads and avoiding the main roads guarded by the army. In addition, if you really can't avoid some key roads, you will bribe the guards and let them deliberately release water......"

Marin interrupted Khloe, saying:

"I don't care about these details, I only care, from now on, can you still get me a large number of immigrants?"

"Yes!" Kohler said categorically. However, he hesitated for a moment and continued:

"Yes, yes, but probably the cost will increase a lot! Before, we immigrants, just provide those immigrants with some simple black bread along the way, and that's fine. As for themselves, they will follow the large army on foot to the territory of the North Sea Kingdom. ”

"But now, because the countries are tight, we need to send capable people to lead those migrants on the path. Even, each squad may have to dispatch several scouts with binoculars to ensure safety along the way and not be discovered by those officers and soldiers of other countries. ”

"What's more, those generals who guard the key roads of the pass, the cost of dotting will not be too low......"

"Money is not a problem, I just need people!" Marin waved his hand and said domineeringly.

Kohler nodded, and continued:

"If you take the trail, ordinary food may not be easy to carry. In my opinion, compressed cookies are the best food. Because, compressed biscuits are easy to carry. Let those immigrants bring a backpack of compressed biscuits, and they can stick to the path to the North Sea Country. ”

Marin hesitated for a moment and said:

"What's the matter with compressed cookies...... Maybe I don't have enough maple sugar...... You know, maple sugar must be prioritized for the supply of the army and sailors......"

Kohler nodded, but added:

"I understand, but young master, we don't need to give those victims compressed biscuits with maple syrup. Ordinary rye compressed biscuits, add some salt, and it will suffice. ”

Marin thought for a moment and added:

"You can't just eat compressed biscuits, right? If you're going to choke to death, you have to drink water! I think they should be equipped with a number of kettles to fill them with water. For this reason, Marin thought of the military kettle of later generations. It seems that those big-headed soldiers just drink water from military kettles, and they just compress biscuits and canned meat. Of course, it was a soldier of later generations, and there was an abundance of supplies. As for the current immigrants, it is enough to drink water from a kettle and compress the biscuits.

"Kettle?" Kohler thought for a moment and suggested:

"I would recommend using clay pots, metal jugs and glass bottles, which are too expensive. There are so many immigrants, it is enough to give them the cheapest clay pots. ”

"But the clay pot is easy to break!"

"That'...... Water in Tatar skins? Kohler said uncertainly.

"The cost is a bit high!" Marin shook his head. The steppe people used skins to hold water, and that was because leather was worthless in the steppe. But the German region is an agricultural area, and leather is still quite valuable.

Suddenly, Ma Lin remembered the plot in the movie of his previous life, when the young people in the south used to use bamboo tubes to drink water......

"Bamboo tubes?" But Marin quickly denied it. Because, there is no bamboo in Europe.

"Then let the carpenter make a wooden tube that resembles a bamboo tube!"

However, Marin took it for granted. When he asked the carpenter, Ma Lin learned that it was still very difficult to build a wooden tube similar to a bamboo tube, which was very time-consuming and laborious. After all, in this era, there are no woodworking machine tools, no big drills, and it is still very laborious to process a wooden tube, which requires the carpenter to slowly hollow out the wooden stick with an axe and a chisel, which is very time-consuming and laborious. The craftsmen of Europe are not so cheap as the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and the wages of people are higher than that of ordinary laborers. Therefore, it is better to make a wooden tube than to make a leather bag.

In desperation, Marin had no choice but to let people use the cheapest leather, sheepskin, to make a batch of water bladders for immigrants to walk the trail. Although the sheepskin bladder is filled with water, it will have some taste, but the cowhide is too expensive, and Marlin is reluctant to get such a cowhide bladder for them to use.

Moreover, the poor people of this era are not as squeamish as the common people of later generations. Even if the conditions are tougher, they can endure it.

……

However, if you take the trails and mountain roads, only young men and women, as well as half-grown teenagers, may be able to persevere. As for the old people and children, I'm afraid they can't hold on.

However, Marin's request for immigrants is to try to pick up the whole family as much as possible. Otherwise, if the family does not come, it will be difficult to make those young people return. Perhaps, like the migrant workers who went to the big cities to work in later generations, they just regarded Beihai as a money-making Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou......

So, to emigrate, it is best to bring it with your family, young and old. In this way, those young people will have no worries in their original hometown, and they will integrate into the society of Beihai Kingdom.

But the problem is that except for those young men and women, those old people and children are not able to walk the mountain road. So......

"Well, find some very shabby clothes for the old people and children to wear. When the time comes, let the old people and children pretend to be refugees. I don't think those people will keep the refugees. For those vassal states, the elderly and children are a burden, and they can't wait to be sent away! ”

"Young Master is wise!" Kohler gave a small ass on the back.

"By the way, for those half-grown little girls, cut off their long hair, pretend to be little boys, and blend in with the refugees......"

"Why is that?" Kohler was puzzled.

Marin said wistfully:

"Columbus liked the perverted fetishes of young girls, you know?"

Kohler nodded, smiling to his heart's content.

"So, I'm afraid that among the soldiers of those vassal states, there are people who are perverted like Columbus. Therefore, it is safest to pretend to be little girls with short hair. Otherwise, it would be bad to be robbed by those perverted officers and soldiers. ”

"As for those girls, they must not go through the pass. Otherwise, it's very dangerous. Even if they endure a little hardship, let them follow the young team. ”

Marin's command is not unreasonable. For the ancient world, many soldiers were actually bandits. Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have not been separated, and it is not until modern times, with the strictness of military discipline, that soldiers gradually do not look like bandits.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Europe was still in the era of mercenaries. However, the mercenaries of this era, except for the mercenaries of the Beihai Kingdom with strict military discipline (in fact, Marin's mercenaries have been regularized), most of the other mercenaries can be described as scum.

Therefore, girls or something, especially girls who are quite attractive, must not be seen by those mercenaries who have closed the customs. Otherwise, it is easy to be poisoned. Even girls have to be extra careful.

You must know that these young girls or girls are the families of those young adults who have been recruited. If they let their families mess with the poisonous hands of those scum mercenaries, how can Marlin get them back?

Therefore, Marin had to use the greatest malice to guess the soldiers of other countries who were guarding the gates, so as to prevent the misfortune of the young and strong family members who immigrated to him.

……

It was on the basis of these considerations that Marin thought for a long time and then said to Kohler:

"Well, then, I authorize you to set up an immigration company to secretly recruit and attract immigrants from other countries. In order to ensure the safety of immigrants, I will equip the immigration company with 2,000 scouts and 3,000 guards to ensure the safety of immigrants all the way. ”

"As for the name of the immigration company, let's call it 'Hope Immigration Company'. Tell those who live in poverty that coming to the North Sea Country is tantamount to hope. Here, there is endless food, and there will be no hunger or cold! ”
