Chapter 702: The Evil Beast Comes Out of the Cage (25) Enters the Wilderness

The fourth group of colonists borrowed the foundation left by the first three batches, and finally survived the most difficult years, established their own simple town, cleared the wild grass from the land, and made the town self-sufficient in food, but daily necessities still need to be transported from the outside world, which gave Zhong Ming room to make a profit, and let Zhong Ming's company make a windfall.

In addition to the exploitation of the land, there was also an institutional foundation left by the first three colonists to the fourth group, which was undoubtedly thanks to the institutional foundation left by Paine, that is, the colonial electoral system.

The first group of colonists were wiped out due to the attack of the barbarians, and in the end only one survived, and this person was killed by the beast's mouth because the float boat was shot down, and on the way back, he tried to drag Zhong Ming to die with him.

The second group of colonists died in infighting, and when Zhong Ming's supplies arrived, only 3 people were left alive, and after being rescued, one went back to his hometown to wash his hands, the other joined Zhong Ming's colonial company, and the last colonist named Paine decided to continue colonizing.

Therefore, when the third colonization began, Paine, as the only person with colonial experience, easily occupied the position of the leader among the colonists, but he did not regard it as a permanent hereditary position, but agreed with the colonists that the leader would be elected once a year, and all the colonists would be elected together.

When Zhong Ming first resupplied the colony, he found that Paine was implementing this system, and it was very successful, and he was also re-elected as the second leader, or mayor, so Zhong Ming curiously asked Paine why he thought of using this system.

Paine replied: "We are all but commoners, and no one is more noble than the other, and if anyone wants to be a new nobleman, others must be thinking about why, the first time it is over, and the conditions of the colony are difficult, and it is impossible to live without unity, and since we are united, we can only let everyone have the right to vote, and elect those whom we feel suitable." ”

It's a pity that Paine, an interesting civilian, didn't survive the second year, the reason mentioned before, the floating boat was shot down by a flock of birds during the winter transportation, and the news was not smooth so that Zhong Ming didn't know the news for a long time, and this was another blizzard day, and the colonists were attacked by hungry red-eyed monsters, so the dog took it.

In short, by the time Zhong Ming reacted and organized a new floating boat to go to the colony, there were no more colonists than one in ten, but it was a little less than the third batch of deaths.

After the third annihilation of the colony, Zhong Ming summed up a lesson from the annihilation, that is, in bad weather, he organized two groups of floating boats to go to the colony for replenishment as much as possible, in case one of them had an accident, and what should I do if both of them had an accident? Anyway, the colonists were dead, let them ask for more blessings.

In addition, although Paine unfortunately froze to death in the blizzard of the third annihilation, his theory was remembered by Zhong Ming, so during the fourth batch of colonies, Paine's rules were told to these colonists, and they were allowed to conduct the "Paine Election Law" on their own.

After so much hard investment, the fourth group of colonists finally succeeded in opening up the colony, which also brought Zhong Ming a lot of income, so he opened up a second colonist, a third colony, and began to make his business bigger and bigger...... Then Battiros intervened.

Zhong Ming may not know that his every move has actually been hooked up in Battiros, and later Zhong Ming bought the float boat and flint gun so quickly, it was not just the Taugocha family who was behind it, in fact, it was the President of the Sib Commons himself who gave the green light to these orders all the way.

After all, Battyros has been in trouble lately, and the reason for the troubles is what the future holds for Siber.

Since the birth of the Star Castle, it has almost blocked the road of Siber's expansion, and after the crazy expansion of Siber for two hundred years, it has also made Siber hang on the small book of other countries in the Southern Xinjiang Continent, if it weren't for the Star Castle's inability to attack and can only defend passively, they would almost have to form an anti-Sibo encirclement network.

In 2300, Siber was only a vassal state with only 1 province, and in 2500 it was only independent with only 2 provinces, but in 2600 it became 6 provinces, and now it has exploded to 14 provinces and a commercial asylum state.

According to the example of the past millennium, it is not that there are no such large countries, but once the territory of a country is so large, the efficiency of work will naturally be low, and the idea of secession will arise in various places, and then wait for an international war and then disintegrate violently.

However, Siber broke this convention and divided the country into the local provinces for dumping handicrafts, the raw material provinces as dumping markets and raw material sites, and the special slave hunting provinces, so that the domestic economy was integrated, and the raw material provinces could not be separated from the handicrafts of the local provinces, so that they could not stand on their own.

Not to mention Sibber's excellent warfare capabilities, especially the invention of float boats and railroads, which allowed Sibber to quickly mobilize his troops to any corner of the country to suppress rebellions there, which naturally made it even more impossible for Sibber to become independent.

The other countries of the Southern Xinjiang Continent are not fools, knowing that if the countries continue to fight among themselves in this situation, Sibo will swallow the entire Southern Xinjiang Continent like annexing Ruiying Maiqiu and Fei Argon, and with Siber's current methods, they are fully capable of stabilizing the newly conquered territory.

Therefore, in the jumping up and down of Orettia, although the other countries on the southern Xinjiang continent did not formally sign the treaty to prevent the relationship between Sibo and Sibo from falling to the bottom, they had reached a preliminary opinion, as long as Sibo dared to continue to expand, then it would cause countermeasures from the whole of southern Xinjiang.

If you use the game terminology of P Society, it is that Siber expanded too violently, causing AE to explode and causing an anti-Siber alliance.

However, the invention of Star Castle made Siber's war from a game of leisurely strolling to a quagmire that needed manpower to gnaw down little by little.

With Sibo's current size and industrial capacity, compared with the capabilities of other countries on the southern Xinjiang mainland, it may not be impossible to fight, and it is not impossible to annex southern Xinjiang in a war.

But the problem is that Batiros has instigated, and now Xibo is the undisputed number one power in the southern Xinjiang continent, and it is foreseeable that at least in the next hundred years, Xibo's strength will still remain unchanged......

Now the high-level Xibo with a big business does not want to gamble, they have lost the original Xibo city and one country, two provinces and two countries, and they are intimidated.

Nowadays, some Enlightenmentists, especially the reactionary Enlightenment, have been targeting workers all day long, and the workers have the support of the aristocracy and have created a lot of riots, which really gives Batyros a headache.

The main thing is that the population of Sib has become more and more numerous under the medical influence of the Akasia, so much so that it is somewhat overloaded, and one of the causes of the workers' revolt is that the excessive number of workers has squeezed their wages, so that the factory owners have squeezed the workers more and more excessively.

So there was an Enlightenment named Cato, who was still a rare Enlightenment with an official position, and put forward his own explanation for this phenomenon:

Siber's overpopulation caused the factory owners to have no shortage of labor, and thus viciously squeezed the wages of the workers, which on the one hand caused serious dissatisfaction among the workers, and on the other hand, caused the workers to fall into extreme poverty and could not consume, which would inevitably have a great impact on the economy of Siber in the long run.

Siber agreed with Cato's opinion and decided to settle the matter, and at this time, first Pei Siqi and then Zhong Ming's colonial business came into view of Batyros.

Battyros looked at it and thought, "Well, this is a good job, colonization can make a lot of profits, and it can reduce the pressure on the native population by throwing out the surplus population in the country, so that the wages of the workers can be raised and the economy can grow."

Best of all, it was a new idea, a blank slate, and it didn't require Battyros to take sides between reactionism and liberalism, which were both strong.

If reactionary ism is chosen, it is necessary to limit the development of factories and return to the "simple and beautiful" pastoral era, which Battyros is stupid to do, but the reactionaries' theories cannot but worry Siber, such as the rapid growth of industrial output, what if Siber cannot accommodate it one day.

In the case of liberalism, the factory owners were very happy, while Battyros was worried about the future development of industry that was not controlled by the aristocracy, and no one could say.

As for controllism, some of the ideas of controllism do like Battyros very much, but what makes people as equal as possible makes Battyros avoid them, and what nobles do they need if they are all equal? What other nobles?

Therefore, in this case, Zhong Ming's colonial path is the best choice, which will offend neither reactionary nor liberalism.

As a result, Zhong Ming's "Zhong Ming Colonial Company" was soon acquired and reorganized by Battiros, and became a private company officially supported by the state.

However, the conditions for the development of the colony are too harsh, nature does not matter whether you are a nobleman or a commoner, half of the death in the first year of going there is the luck of being protected by the gods, and it is normal to not survive one out of ten, and it needs to be developed consistently. Therefore, not to mention the aristocracy, even the citizens did not want to explore the colony, only those commoners who could not survive would try their luck in the colony.

Therefore, in order to promote the development of the colony, Siber promulgated the "Colonizer's Amnesty Decree", declaring that as long as the debtor does not leave the colony for life, then he can not repay the debt, except for the non-nobles who triggered crimes such as betraying the country and killing nobles, as long as they fled to the colony and did not return, they can also be blamed in the past.

After all, in Battyros's view, only the nobles are worthy leaders, and if the commoners form their own towns, it is better to use elections, lest the mayor of the town also want to become a nobleman after hereditary succession, which is very bad.

Zhong Ming finally fulfilled his wish when he was young, and he was rich and wealthy and restored the former glory of the Togolese family, even surpassing his ancestors. And it was not until this time that Zhong Ming, who was almost forty years old, was able to get married and marry Pei Siqi's illegitimate granddaughter, who is also Piahiri's younger sister.

With the development of colonization, there were more types of provinces in Siber, so Siber finally issued an official document to determine the names of the three provinces of Siber in the classic year of 2700, namely the native provinces, the frontier provinces and the pioneering provinces, corresponding to the industrial provinces, the raw material provinces and the colonies.

And interestingly, there is also a strange example of the colony's inhabitants, that is, children born in the colony usually take two-syllable names, in honor of the three people most associated with the colony, Zhong Ming, Paine, and Cato, all three of whom are two-syllable names.

Therefore, in the future, as long as you hear that someone's name is composed of two syllables, it is basically a resident of colonial origin, and when the local province deliberately does not take a two-syllable name in order to prevent others from thinking that it is a resident of colonial origin, this way of naming really becomes the standard configuration of the colony.
