The language problem is a big problem that cannot be solved overnight. It will take generations to achieve results.

Specifically, even if you promote English for all and want English to become mainstream in Scotland, at least wait until the old Scottish-speaking guys die. Then, the traditional old generation is gone, and the ideas of the new generation can prevail.

For example, there is the problem of feudal superstition. Once, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the feudal superstition of praying to God and worshiping Buddha was strictly forbidden, and many temples were also destroyed.

However, after the movement, no one cared about this anymore, everyone was only busy with money, and did not suppress feudal superstition, and the matter of praying to God and worshiping Buddha immediately revived. Why? Because the group of old people who came from the old society are still alive......

However, with the popularization of science education, when we entered the 21st century, with the death of those old people born in the old society, many young people no longer go to God and worship Buddha. When the post-50s and post-60s generations in the transition era have passed away, and when the post-70s and post-80s generations with trendy thinking become dying old people, I am afraid that few people will go to pray to God and worship Buddha. At least, among the Han Chinese.

Of course, it's not that it's bad to pray to God and worship Buddha. In fact, most of the old people who pray to God and worship Buddha are very kind. Because, they believe in karma and do not do bad things at will. And the old man who has no faith is often easy to become a shameless person like the old man who touches porcelain.

However, old ideas are old ideas. Coupled with the vigorous promotion of science in national education, old ideas will eventually be abandoned by young people. When the old people are still around, they may go along against their will. But once those old people have passed away, few people who have grown up studying science will still pray to God and worship Buddha devoutly. Although there are still such people, the proportion is definitely very small.

Therefore, even if English education is promoted in Scotland, in the end, it will not be until the old people who have a strong sense of identity with the original independent Scottish kingdom have passed away before England can truly complete the annexation of Scotland. And this process takes tens or hundreds of years.

……

After talking to Edward about the big thing of assimilating Scotland, Marin is going to be busy with his "little things......

What "trifles"? In fact, it is not small at all, it is the economic problem of Marin's newly acquired territory......

Marin wanted to make the Scottish Highlands his arsenal of troops, and he first had to make the Highlands more populous. If there is no population, where will Marin be recruited?

Therefore, what Marin needs to do is to let the highlanders find a way to survive first, and then have a chance to have more people......

Marin even planned to recruit immigrants from other places to live in the Scottish Highlands, and then integrate into the local area, forming a rough and fierce Highlander style, and eventually becoming his own source of soldiers......

However, the premise of all this is that those people must be allowed to live in the Scottish Highlands......

Only alive can Marin pick fighters from among them. If they all starve to death, who will he go to?

In addition to the northern Highlands of Scotland, the southernmost border counties are also important. This county is also a predominantly mountainous county, which meets the requirements of the mountain people needed to reproduce the Marin conscription. In the same way, Marin also needs the local economy to develop. Otherwise, you won't be able to feed so many mountain people......

How can we revitalize the local economy so that more people can survive?

Actually, the most important thing is food!

The ancients didn't have too high requirements, in fact, they only needed to be well fed and clothed. As for other material requirements, in fact, I dare not expect extravagantly. As for spiritual needs, they are even more non-existent.

And how to solve the problem of food sources for the mountain people in the highland and border counties? Farming is no longer possible, because the Scottish mountains are not suitable for farming. Also, the climate here is colder.

However, there are some hilly areas that are suitable for grazing. Moreover, it is true that the Scots are currently predominantly herded. Then, in terms of food, they have to be on par with the nomads. Like, the Crimean Tatars or something.

Therefore, in the case of lack of food, the best source of food for Scottish hill people is probably cheese. Like the Mongols, including the Tatars, they all rely on cheese as their main food. Moreover, this nutrition is not low, and people who have not seen nomads grow quite strong?

The problem, however, is that the Scottish Highlands and Southern Frontier Shires are mountainous and do not have the same vast expanse for grazing as the Mongolian savannah and the Eastern European savannah. Without enough pasture, there are not many cattle and sheep. There are not many cattle and sheep, and the milk source is insufficient, making it difficult to feed many people......

"Then, since there are few pastures, we can only take the high-yield route!" Marin muttered to himself.

The so-called high-yield route is the use of livestock breeds with high milk production. Under limited natural conditions, enough milk is obtained to make cheese as food.

First of all, Marin naturally thought of the famous Dutch black and white cow. This kind of cow has a high milk production, although the annual milk production is not as high as seven or eight thousand kilograms per year of later breeds, but there are also three or four thousand kilograms per year.

However, the biggest problem now is that Marin now has very few black and white cows, and he can't supply Scotland on a large scale. Moreover, it is indeed not cost-effective to send black and white cows to the bitter cold places of Scotland, and even affect milk production. Even if you send it over, it may not adapt to the local climate.

"So, goats are used as the main source of food?"

Marin suddenly remembered a love affair in his last life that ended without a problem - at that time, he talked about a girl who loved dogs. The family has a second ha, and then the puppy has to drink milk, but not milk, but also goat's milk. So, Marin was instructed to look for goat's milk......

During that time, Marin checked the information and also knew about goat milk. Generally speaking, the sheep that mainly produce goat milk in later generations, if it is not Saanen dairy goats, will produce 600~1200 kg of milk per year. It can't be compared with black and white cows, but the sheep eat less.

However, it seems that goats are more adapted to warmer climates, and the Saanen goat breed is not necessarily available today. In a cold place like the Scottish Highlands, sheep are more suitable.

"Sheep? Dairy sheep? What kind of variety is good? What kind of breed is it used......" Marlin paced up and down the hall......

At this time, a Frisian guard in charge of guarding the door suddenly couldn't help but interject:

"Grand Duke, a kind of sheep in my hometown is very milk-producing!"

Marin stopped abruptly and asked:

"Your hometown? Which way? ”

"Norton on the North Sea! Our herders there often eat goat's milk products and sometimes fish. Our sheep there produce very good milk, and they can produce more than five or six hundred pounds of milk a year......"

"Five or six hundred pounds?" Marin lowered his head and calculated, feeling that it was really a lot. You must know that in this era, there are no professional breeding experts who can produce five or six hundred pounds of milk per year, which is already considered an excellent breed. Moreover, people in this era raise cows and goats and do not know how to feed alfalfa and other professional feeds, and the milk production is certainly not high. It would have been better if the Marlins had been specially bred for the horses......

"Norton...... East Friesian Rannoton ...... , is it the famous Dongfri sheep in later generations? Fighters in the Dairy Sheep? ”()
