Chapter 54 Population Questions

"I can propose a vote, I don't think it's a big problem! Being able to solve this problem can be regarded as a favor for the state government! John Caldwell lay on the table, looked at the renderings carefully, and said, "Wait for my news!" ”

"I'm sure I'll get good news!" Sheffield gave a small compliment to the senator in front of him, the whole thing is not complicated, it can be summed up in a simple word, it is just a slave owner who made a deal with the government, and that's it. Once approved by the government, the lives of the more than 2,000 so-called black freedmen fell entirely to Sheffield.

Compared to doubling the prospect of tobacco plantations, Sheffield is paying a very affordable price. Now what needs to be calculated is how to reduce costs, but naturally you can't use adobe, isn't this a slap in the face of the government! It doesn't matter if you fight, you may not fight or not.

After a short time, John Cowwell declined Wilson Taylor's offer to have dinner and left Taylor's manor in a hurry.

It was close to evening, and the guards at the slave market returned to Taylor Manor one after another, on the contrary, the thugs who got the news during the day set off to keep vigil at the slave market. It's a bit of capitalism, with machines and people constantly rotating! ”

Originally, he thought that the operation of the slave market was like that of an ordinary plantation, and that today he would work until night when the sun was shining, and that he would hide in the shack for a day of rest in the rain today, and that he would not work at night, but now it seems that this is not the case, but he is a virtuous man of the northern factory owners.

"Has anyone come to buy slaves at night?" Sheffield asked about the fluttering dress next to her, quite curious about the question.

"Two shifts are to prevent slaves from escaping, in some cases! Some plantation owners also come to the slave market at night! Annabelle stepped on the lawn with her long skirt, and her cautious appearance made Sheffield feel the backwardness of the times. A set of photo albums should really be filmed to record the south of this era.

After walking around Sheffield, he didn't find anything, except that Westin was more comfortable than himself, chatting with the thugs at Taylor's Manor on the edge of the fence, and bursting into laughter from time to time. There seems to be endless topics to talk about, and the atmosphere is quite awkward when I walk with Annabelle on my side, and there seems to be no topic between the two of them.

Don't say no, at least Sheffield has heard eight times to repay the money and six times to settle the account, Sheffield is very incomprehensible, but less than two thousand dollars in arrears, what is the debt first? How do you look like a shameless capitalist? There was no friendship and reserve between slave owners at all.

Stop, Anna ...... "What do you think a boy and a girl are doing?" But only Sheffield knows that the relationship between the two is very simple, that is, the relationship between Huang Shiren and Yang Bailao, the difference is only that his Yang Bailao is a little stronger, "I need to invest in the construction of the settlement recently, and I need to invest a lot of money, and I will naturally pay back the money after I eat that piece ......of land."

"You took advantage of Taylor's Manor, sold the loot to the Holden family, and now you still owe me money to buy equipment! Do you think I'm a bully...... Annabelle," Annabelle scratched at Sheffield's body like a little wild cat.

"I'll pay back when I get the settlement, isn't there nothing now?" Sheffield saw some girls with tears faint in her eyes, how could she feel like she was going to elementary school to pull the girl's hair? Where does this guilt come from? "Okay, okay, just kidding, just give it when the settlement is built, and I can still throw five thousand acres of plantations and run away?" ”

"Shameless, you haven't gotten that piece of land yet!" Annabelle slapped Sheffield twice with a laugh, "Those blacks are really a problem, I always think that too many blacks are not a good thing......"

It's really a hero's vision, Sheffield also thinks so, at present, the South of the United States has a kind of guard against black slaves, because black slaves because of the expansion of the plantation population is growing faster and faster, the entire southern black slaves have accounted for forty percent of the population, just a little less than the whites, in this case, if the white people still can't see the threat of the blacks, it is the same as no IQ.

"The white population is too small is the problem, your family is so well connected overseas, you can actually consider buying a batch of white people to come back!" Sheffield earnestly advised, "The black slave population is already more than three million, and it is growing every year, and even faster than the population was stolen by the Underground Railway, which is a big problem!" ”

"What's the solution, the immigrants all landed from several ports in the north! We are geographically positioned to compete for immigrants! Annabelle sighed and said, "Shall we go straight to Europe and capture slaves?" That's not realistic......"

Do you need to say this? At present, the United States can pinch the US military to death if it goes to any medium-sized country in Europe, and if you think about it, what other European countries are playing in line at the time of the Civil War? It seems that only the Americans themselves!

"Actually, we don't have to do it ourselves, we only need the right amount of money, even one-tenth of the price of black slaves!" Sheffield closed his eyes and recalled, "The black slave trade originated in the Arab Empire, and for a long time the peace religion in the Middle East was the largest slave trader, but the Arabs were used to castrating black slaves and reusing them, so there was no problem of excessive black slave breeding. But at the moment the Ottoman Empire is still there, right? ”

"The Ottoman Empire?" Annabelle's eyes lit up and she said, "The country that is always at war with the Russian Empire?" ”

"That's right!" Sheffield nodded and said, "The Ottoman Empire is nothing more than a decaying country, and the territory of the European part is mostly populated by white Christians who are always looking for an opportunity to rebel!" The rebellious nations also have the support of Britain, France, Germany and Russia, especially the Slavic elder brother of Orthodox Christianity, the Russian Empire, which has always regarded itself as the protector of Orthodox Christianity and the eldest brother of the Slavic nation, you can establish contact with the Ottoman bureaucracy and offer to buy people at the bottom of society as slaves at very low prices......"

"Isn't that helping the infidels?" Annabelle was quite reluctant, which contradicted what she had learned.

For Annabelle's sake, Sheffield forgave God once in his heart, this group of people with faith is really unreasonable, and if you really believe in God, don't you close the slave market soon? "What we're buying is a fraction of the white population, these people are living in great hardship, and we're helping them to come to live in the New World!"

Sheffield's bitter mouth finally reversed Annabelle's opinion, "Are you saying that the Ottomans are destined to collapse, the population itself is not large, and there are still a group of powerful countries outside cutting flesh, and sooner or later it will be finished!" ”

Sheffield nodded vigorously, Miss, you can agree quickly, there are few white people in the south, and if you don't add a little population, you really start to work with the north, and you will find out how bad your situation is. With such a small population, when the initial military qualities are caught up, the South will be finished.
