Chapter 324: Military strength is growing stronger day by day
The Governor didn't know what the slime had said to David Charles, but he saw that his eyes were shining and he was sweating on his forehead.
Slime Says:
"I told you, Your Excellency Governor, that the countries of the Low Countries have a great deal of labor, and they have long ago suffered from a lack of people and a low grain yield!
I don't know much about growing cotton, but I swear to God they can learn it! ”
The Governor of the Second Junior said calmly: "Count Qu Yi is really familiar with the kings of those countries? ”
"It's true, if Count Quy says he will pay 10,000 peasants, their king will personally send it to the door!"
The Governor took a sip of bitter coffee and said, "You don't need them to send it, you said that we hope we are hired as a family unit?" ”
"Say, David Charles thinks you can hire with housewives and children, and that's as merciful as God!"
Well, the second governor thought to himself, if only the people of the Great Song could think like this.
When there was no Great Song Dynasty immigration, he looked forward to; When he had 500 households, he expected 5,000!
The Governor of the Second Minor has secretly expanded the number of immigrants on Liberty Island to one million in his heart!
In fact, his lords have long said that as long as there are more than 200,000 people, the civilization of a place will not be interrupted------ so he has been looking forward to the time when his free island will have a million people, and the Orientals will have more than 200,000!
Even those of Korea and Japan are counted------ but for now they can only rely on the white people in Europe.
They were far more docile than the coastal blacks on the opposite continent, and had a certain amount of skill.
And there is no such thing as the return of prayers many times a day.
White people are white people, and he didn't have the concept of racial discrimination in his heart.
The slime's description opened David Charles's mind, can there be such a cotton weaver in the world?!
With some machines, you can spin around the clock, and a textile factory can weave enough cotton cloth for 5,000 people in a whole day?!
Moreover, flax and cotton yarn can be mixed together to weave, not only to make the linen cotton cloth strong and durable, but also to save cotton yarn------ this period of Europe has cotton spinning technology, but the output is very low, so the price is very expensive, not the common people can afford to wear.
No wonder the cotton cloth they transported from tens of thousands of miles away was not only of better quality than their local weaving, but also cheaper than theirs------ and for a reason!
Cotton cloth is expensive and scarce, so the mainstream of textiles is still dominated by linen and wool textiles.
Flanders was the centre of linen and wool weaving after the Kingdom of England and Italy------ but even if they had a large workshop of 5,000 people, they would not be able to weave enough linen for 5,000 men in ten days!
The cotton farming and textile business described by the slime completely captivated David Charles.
In a way, what's the difference between snow-white cotton and white-flowered silver?!
If the Nankai area is really a paradise for growing grain and cotton, as it says, then this is not just a matter of cotton.
This will allow Flanders to quickly overtake Italy, and we will be number one in Europe!
The slime also smiled and added:
"Some of the big families of the city-states in Italy have already started to go to Nankai------ but it's not too late to hire agricultural and textile workers there."
David Charles already knew that Flanders Harbour to Nankai would not be able to reach the Oriental Sea Ship for a two-month voyage, but Liberty Island now has enough capacity!
The next thing was simple, they formally signed two contracts written in French and Oriental scripts.
The Viceroy of the Second Rank signed his name and stamped his own Governor's seal.
David Charles also signed the name of the Earl of Quy and stamped his earl's seal.
The Governor of Xiaoer was refreshed, and the Nankai area was originally going to take decades or even hundreds of years to develop and build------ perhaps driven by interests, there would be great changes in a few years.
The interests are moving.
David Charles sent one of his men to report back to Earl Quy at once on some of the scissors provided by Liberty Island, and he was to stay and wait for the shipment and a tour of Liberty Island.
I'm afraid the rumors of Liberty Island have spread all over Europe, so he needs to take a good look.
During this time, the slime has always been with him, and although he sometimes wants to have a treat, David Charles is from a noble family, and he is far more wealthy than him.
Colonel Wang Ding said to the Governor of the Second Junior Governor very longingly: "It is rare for a lord to take out so many silver coins at once, I heard that he is richer than the King of England?" ”
"There are rumors------ but we still have to spend those silver coins to buy their serfs, large livestock, and a lot of industrial and agricultural raw materials------ I'm really glad that they are still serfdoms, and they can buy peasants with money------ if the Great Song Dynasty can do the same."
Colonel Wang Ding laughed silently and said:
"As long as the Empire's army and navy are here, no one can resist your orders.
Those young people in Scotland that we have already trained, whether in the army or navy, can be counted as qualified auxiliaries.
You see, our military strength here is growing stronger day by day! ”
The Junior Second Governor asked, "Do you know that Director Huang organized everyone in the Nankai region to celebrate the festivals prescribed by our empire?" ”
"Yes, what's wrong with that?"
"Culture------ I really want the people of Liberty Island to celebrate our festival with all their hearts!"
Colonel Wang Ding didn't say anything, something that could be solved with one order, I don't know why he attached so much importance to it.
Could it be that the Governor has announced what festivals will be celebrated on the whole island, and how to celebrate them, and who else will dare not obey orders?!
Well, the Governor of the Second Junior did not talk to Colonel Wang Ding about this topic again.
As in the new business districts of the Kingdom of England and Scotland, they still do not have a public garrison.
Europe is not the continent of Tianzhu.
Colonel Wang Ding did not expect that Count Quy and King Philip IV of France would sign a peace treaty together, as if there had been no battle!
He had been hoping that the two sides would fight to the death------ if this situation occurred, the Governor of the Second Lieutenant would definitely have to send Imperial troops to intervene for the sake of his trade!
The military exploits that his officers had dreamed of were here.
However, the fact that the two sides ended the war so simply is really different from the East.
The second governor said: "This place is different from our hometown, let's stabilize it first, and first build the big rear of the Nankai area." ”
Colonel Wang Ding nodded, he already knew that the Imperial Army had not even managed to train Count Quyi.
It was entirely up to the slime to arrange for his men to train.
They had fully gained the trust of Count Quy------ and the Imperial army could only stand silently behind the so-called civil power once again, and could only watch the people perform.
David Charles had an eye-opener on Liberty Island.
He visited several shopping streets and found that prices were much cheaper than those in Flandershaven, so he bought a lot of goods.
He was particularly pleased with the road here, and immediately saw its military usefulness, and the construction of a fortress with it would certainly save trouble and money.
But the slime reminded him, saying, "Think about it, what if that marching cannon were a little bigger?" ”
