It's July, the hottest time in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest temperature in the summer here has reached 34 degrees. Fortunately, the immigrants came from Breschgau in southern Germany, where summer temperatures exceeded 30 degrees Celsius. If you were to live on the northern coast of Germany, you might not be able to stand the heat.

"It's a little hotter here than in Germany in the summer, but not too much. It's hotter in the south, but we're further north and it's not too hot in the summer. In winter, it can be very cold at times. At least, much colder than in the German region. ”

"But it doesn't matter, our Grand Duke invented the ondol. If it's too cold in winter, burn the kang at night and make the house warm ......," Railton explained with a smile to several old men.

"What to do when you go out? If it's too cold, we don't have thick leather clothes when we go out! At this time, an old man interjected. As far as he knew, he usually wore fur coats when he went out in winter, like aristocrats......

Lyrdon looked at him speechlessly and said:

"How can you have so many fur clothes for you to wear? Although the local fur is indeed abundant, you are a farmer, and wearing fur is too extravagant......"

The old peasant sneered:

"I know that too, but why don't we go out in the winter?"

Lyrdon shook his head and said:

"No, our Grand Duke has already thought about it - wear a robe!"

Then he sent his soldiers out with a coat from the cabin. At the same time, a soldier who could weave a coat was called.

"This is the robe, made of thatch. When it rains, wear it to protect against the rain. When it's cold in winter, put it on the outside to protect against the cold......"

"Isn't this grass? Can you wear it as clothes? Will there be lice? An old farmer asked hesitantly.

Railton rolled his eyes after hearing this:

"If you throw him in a haystack and wear it, it will naturally be easy to get lice. If you keep it well, pay attention to it. Wash it with water before wearing, and then dry it in the sun or air, it will not give lice. If you get lice, it's because you don't usually take a shower! ”

Railton suddenly remembered that when he forced these fellows to take a shower before they boarded the ship at Braissgau, he called a crying dad and a mother......

At that time, many people refused to take a bath, believing that they would get sick after taking a bath. However, the rules of the North Sea Country are strict, and they are not allowed to board the ship without bathing.

In desperation, the soldiers who guarded them had no choice but to violently escort them to undress and bathe. When they took a bath, they also took their clothes and boiled them in lime water, which is said to be disinfected......

It's better to force men to take a bath, force women to take a bath...... Hey, Railton is thrilled to think about......

At that time, he led a group of subordinates to forcibly strip a group of village women who refused to bathe. Then, all kinds of little white sheep shook in front of him...... Many soldiers couldn't help but touch their hands...... The village women shouted and screamed......

Fortunately, the military regulations of the Beihai State are strict, and it is strictly forbidden to soldiers and women. Otherwise, you have to do a batch on the spot......

What's more, fortunately, this is not the China of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there is no situation where women commit suicide after being touched. Otherwise, human life is necessary.

However, the situation of forcibly stripping a group of girls and sisters-in-law and throwing them into a makeshift bath is exciting when I think about it now......

Subsequently, before boarding the ship at the port of Emden in the North Sea country, a bath was organized intensively. This time, there is no need to enforce it. Everyone obediently undressed themselves and took a shower. The women, in particular, no longer refused to bathe in front of the big-headed soldiers, but went to more secluded places.

……

After the lecture, Lyardon went to inspect the progress of building the house. The old men who listened to his explanation returned to the crowd and explained to the others.

In the countryside, although the ancient European elders did not have the right to speak like the elders in the ancient Chinese countryside, because of their rich experience, their words were still listened to. So, Railton simply explained to the old men first, and then asked them to explain it to the immigrants. It's much more useful than saying it yourself. Because, many young people will be resistant to Lyaldon. However, for the older among them, the young immigrants still have great respect. For rural people, in the absence of agricultural technicians, these experienced old farmers are the life mentors of those young farmers......

When building the houses where the settlers lived, Railton also divided some of the strong men and some of the soldiers, and began to build a simple military fort by the river.

Because, in the future, Railton will become the military governor here. After all, there were still Indians on the west bank of the Delaware River. For the safety of the local settlers, a force had to be left behind to monitor the movements of the Indians on the other side of the river.

The other thing is that these immigrants did not come voluntarily. In order to prevent them from making trouble, it is also necessary to leave an army behind to supervise and suppress them. It wasn't until Marin later sent Taylor's disciples and grandchildren to fool them all that he could relax his supervision over them.

Also, in the near future, the North Sea Congress will use Kenton as a bridgehead to launch an attack on the Philadelphia area on the opposite shore and seize the land there.

According to the previous canonization, Marin's younger brother Albert was the Earl of Philadelphia. Its fiefdom was in the Philadelphia area on the west bank of the Delaware River.

Now, Simon has been vassaled, and Albert's fief has not yet been fulfilled. Marin chose to establish a colony in Kenton, on the other side of Philadelphia, to prepare for expansion to the other side.

Once the colonial development here is well underway, when the farming is not working, it is time to organize an army to cross the Delaware River and capture the Philadelphia area.

Once the Philadelphia area is captured, Marin will establish Philadelphia across the river and confirm the establishment of the "Philadelphia Nation". At that time, Marin intended to give the entire Demarva Peninsula, including the area of Philadelphia, where the future state of Delaware was located, to the Count of Philadelphia.

Although the land was fertile, close to the outlet of the Great River, and good land like Philadelphia, Marin didn't care too much. After all, North America is so big, this land is really nothing. Calculated carefully, the total area of this land is less than 20,000 square kilometers. Compared to Simon's Ukrainian region, much less.

But it is impossible for Marin to give him too much land, not because he is reluctant to give up the territory, but because he is reluctant to give up the population......

Simon occupies the northern part of the Ukrainian steppe, and although the land area is large, he has 3 million Ukrainians to base and can toss and turn to his heart's content.

Albert is different, there is land here, and there must be enough population to develop it! If there is more land, Albert will inevitably look for people to develop it. If you ask Marin for someone, Marin can't really refuse to give it. So, just give less land, so that you are not afraid that Albert will have too many people.

Besides, the territory given to Albert is also a better place in North America, and it is not a disadvantage to him. If it were to be developed, it would be much richer than those little countries in Germany.

Of course, there is also the problem of not having a good reputation here. After all, before the Beihai State has the strength to say no, the establishment of the Philadelphia Earl State must be carried out quietly and cannot be publicized everywhere.

Therefore, although Albert is very affordable, it is inevitable that he will have to "walk at night in brocade" for a long time......

Because, even if he swallows great benefits and is richer than those counts in Germany, he can't share it with others for the time being, and he can't brag to others, so he can only hold it in his heart...... This feeling is not very good......
