Chapter 1836 - Various Routines

After Marin had finished speaking, Kohler nodded in understanding. But Sauer raised his hand and said:

"I have a question, Your Majesty!"

"Speak!"

"Isn't it too high-profile for us to advertise that the Delaware Peninsula is the size of England?" Sauer hesitated.

"Huh?" Marin was a little puzzled.

Sauer continued:

"Your Majesty, perhaps we are accustomed to the enormity of the Americas. But don't forget, this is in Europe! Half of the countries of Europe, according to you, are generally only about 100,000 square kilometers. A large country of 500,000 square kilometers like France is considered a top power (these are what Marin usually says) ......"

"But the problem is that even England, which is only 130,000 square kilometres, is one of the top few big countries in Europe! At least, Portugal isn't that big! ”

"Isn't it drooling that you exaggerate that the Delaware Peninsula is the size of England? You know, in Germany, the Duchy of Cripple is not even 2,000 square kilometers (only about 1,800 square kilometers)! ”

"So, I don't think the area should be so exaggerated. Otherwise, it is easy to be coveted. Moreover, the more than 300,000 victims in Paris do not need the size of England to accommodate them. Well, I think it's as big as Jutland......"

Marin thought for a moment - really, England has a population of 3 million. A good site that can accommodate a population of 3 million or more is indeed easily hated. Therefore, it is safer to follow Sauer's statement.

Jutland is also 25,000 square kilometers, less than a fifth. If you advertise that there are many rivers, plains, and a warm climate...... Theoretically, more than 600,000 people are more than enough. And according to the proportion of land in France's population, it is no problem to resettle 750,000 people......

And the size of Jutland is not too coveted. Because, although this area is not small, it can be far away. There are risks at sea, and the size of Jutland is not crazy enough. But if you hear that there is a good territory the size of England and bigger than Portugal...... Even if you can only farm, it will lead people crazy......

So, Marin listened to Sauer's advice and instead advertised that Delaware was only the size of Jutland. However, the focus is on the warm climate, the plains are predominant, and the rivers are crisscrossed...... Also, it is suitable for growing wheat......

Of course, the climate over there is hotter in summer and colder in winter, but it will also be made clear in advance. Then, the people sent to recruit the peasants would promise on behalf of Marin that they would be given clothes to protect them from the cold in the winter, and they would also be introduced to the cold-resistant ondol......

It's also a propaganda tactic, and if you say good things, people will suspect that you're bragging. And when I say good things, pick out some shortcomings that are not very serious and explain them clearly, but it will make people more convincing - you see, I don't hide problems, how sincere I ......

Just like John. Lafite's obstruction and pre-emptive remarks only strengthened François I's confidence. In fact, these are just low-level routines that have been used by later generations...... However, it doesn't work well...... Moreover, in this day and age, these routines are still new in Europe and are not easy to be recognized......

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Marin specially painted and drew a map of the Delaware Peninsula. The map of China, the outline of the Delaware Peninsula has no problem, it is basically a divine restoration.

However, the Chesapeake Bay on the western side of the Delaware Peninsula was deliberately magnified by Marin. The reason for the magnification is to highlight the "security" of the Delaware Peninsula. If it seems close, it will make people worry that the "barbarians" on land will attack in canoes.

In addition, Marin deliberately hid the map of the American continent, drawing only a simple outline on the large map. On the land, the words "Barbarian Territory" are marked everywhere.

Moreover, Marin also marked a lot of blind names with a bad taste, such as, "Warsong Clan", "Blackstone Clan", "Frostwolf Clan", ...... As well as, the "Plunder Clan" and the "Blood Ring Clan", among others......

Marin felt that he had worked too hard to create, and directly borrowed from the grandiose setting of the later Warcraft, as well as the names of "Grom", "Orgrim", "Durotan", and "Gul'dan". Then, some legends were also added.

For example, Grom is extremely powerful and is adept at splitting people in half with a two-handed axe...... Orgrim excels at smashing his opponent's head with the 80-pound Hammer of Doom...... And Durotan, the frost wolf chieftain, is good at driving the raised frost wolves to eat people...... As for Gul'dan, he was most fond of sacrificing living people to demons and eating the hearts of children......

In short, it all seems so terrible......

However, Marin also emphasized in the brochure that these people were only fierce in the dense jungle, and outside the forest, they could not defeat the regular army of the North Sea State. If the Great Wall were to keep them out, these people would be no threat......

While reassuring the doubts of the victims of the disaster in France, it is also necessary to induce. Therefore, Marin will ask his propagandists to emphasize that they went to the American colonies, because it is suitable for growing wheat, and everyone will often have white bread to eat at that time. And this is the life of the aristocracy in Europe......

To this end, Marin planned to send several boatloads of wheat flour from the New York colony to make white bread as bait to lure the hungry victims......

Although white bread is actually not as nutritious as brown bread, it looks and tastes very good. Add some cream and maple sugar...... Forget it, this kind of bread can't be eaten by the nobles, it's too wasteful for the victims, or ordinary wheat bread......

But even then, it was enough. When the time comes, Marin will have the people in charge of recruiting the victims to build a stove for baking bread upwind of the camp. When the white bread is baked, the wind blows the wheat fragrance into the camp...... It is no wonder that the victims who drink gruel all day long can bear it......

This is what Marin learned from those who sell roast duck in his previous life, and those grandsons, specially blowing the aroma of the roast duck stove into the street with an electric fan when they are off work......

And when people come home from work, it's when they are hungry and want to have dinner. At this time, I suddenly smelled the aroma of roast duck...... If you don't have a tight hand, you often buy one and take it home...... I didn't think about it until I finished eating it - hey, didn't I say I wanted to lose weight? Why did you eat roast duck again?

Marin was often tricked like this in his previous life, although it was silent, but it was very effective...... In particular, when a group of victims are dizzy from hunger, even the aroma of tasteless steamed buns will make their mouths water......

In order to increase the flavor, Marin thought about it and decided to batch a batch of milk powder and goat milk powder and add it to the bread. In this way, when the bread comes out of the oven, it will not only have a normal wheat flavor, but also a milky flavor. When the time comes, the effect will be even better......

In short, Marin is now desperately recalling the various routines of his previous life. The purpose is to trick the victims of the disaster in Paris and make them willing to go to the Americas......
