Ernst doesn't care about the life and death of the natives in East Africa, as a colonist, he should be hard-hearted, otherwise he will play a fart and cut himself off as soon as possible, otherwise there are so many dark sides of this world that he will not be angry to death.

As a Western colonist, Ernst is completely a white lotus among his peers, after all, he is not as perverted as some countries, using the ...... of the aborigines.

In line with the principle that if you don't think about it, you can treat it as if it didn't happen, Ernst never thinks about the consequences of this, as long as the East African colonies complete the task according to their goals, as for extinction or something, anyway, the East African colonies didn't do it themselves, so it doesn't count.

On the one hand, he was in charge of the political affairs of the East African colonies, and on the other hand, he took care of the company's business in Europe, and Ernst was busy most of the time.

Today, I stole half a day of leisure and accompanied the old man to drink afternoon tea in the garden.

Ernst drank authentic oriental green tea, and there were only a few common drinks in this era, and coffee was not used to it anyway, and he only tasted it when visiting others or entertaining guests.

Prince Constantine liked to drink coffee, and it was not surprising that his son liked oriental tea, after all, the British liked tea very much, and there was also tea sold by the Dutch in Germany, which was not uncommon.

ERNST's own fleet will also bring some tea from the Far East, all of which are famous teas designated by ERNST itself, and the staff of the Far East will personally go to the tea area to buy them personally.

Ernst is not embarrassed by the staff, after all, the current business of the Heixinggen consortium is mainly in the north, so most of them go to the tea areas close to North China to buy tea, such as Lu'an Gua Pian and Xinyang Maojian......

The tea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also good, but foreigners know a lot (Nanyang overseas Chinese businessmen), and they are well-known, and the local dignitaries and dignitaries are fiercely competitive (high consumption in wealthy areas), so with that pitiful output, most of the people circulating in the market are deck goods, especially Westerners like the staff of the Heixingen Foundation, who are the most easily fooled.

It is more reliable to go to the tea area to buy spot directly, and the inland tea area is not like the coast and the south, foreigners are more common, and local officials should always be cautious and make it convenient for the staff of the Heixinggen Consortium.

"Ernst, how is your East African colony doing lately, I haven't heard you mention it for a long time!" Prince Konstantin asked, holding a coffee cup.

"Father, everything is under control at the moment, since the telegraph line has been laid, now I can process the information sent from East Africa on the same day, and the number of immigrants is also steadily increasing, if nothing else, it will reach 500,000 by the end of the year." Ernst said to Prince Konstantin.

Prince Konstantin leaned back in his chair and said with a little surprise: "The East African colony has not been opened up for two years!" You have recruited so many people, and it is estimated that the entire Heixinggen plus the countryside is only in the early tens of thousands! ”

"Father, you have to understand a concept first, the area of the East African colonies is currently the size of two Austro-Hungarian empires, and the population of the East African colonies is only one percent of the population of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (more than 33 million in 1870), so this immigration is not enough to see." Ernst and Konstantin said.

"Is there so much land in East Africa that has been developed?" Konstantin was a little surprised.

At the beginning, Ernst told himself that he didn't take the development of the East African colony seriously, anyway, it was not a bad thing for children to have their own ideas, and it didn't matter if they succeeded or not.

I didn't expect my son to be so good, the original promise was basically fulfilled, the company and bank were opened, and he also achieved the top batch of European countries.

When he spent money to buy Alaska, Konstantin also knew, but it was a land of ice and snow, and there was nothing to say, so he was a stupid son with a lot of money.

This land in East Africa, Konstantin knew that Ernst valued the most, but he did not expect that he could really do it on his own (without the endorsement and support of the state).

"500,000 people, 1.2 million square kilometers of land, very good! Württemberg and Baden together have just over two million people (the Hohenzollern province to which Heichengen belongs is sandwiched between the two, so Konstantin compares the two). 500,000 is not too little. Prince Konstantin calculated.

"How many Germans can there be in the immigrant population?" Prince Konstantin asked.

"Probably close to 10,000 people, mainly German immigrants from Austria-Hungary, in addition to 50,000 or 60,000 other ethnic groups in Austria-Hungary, and I have recently recruited some people from Paraguay." Ernst preached.

"There are still fewer Germans, I just have a piece of news to tell you, in recent years, the grain production in the south (Germany) has been reduced, many people have been forced to leave their homes, go out to beg for a living, I didn't notice it before because of the war, and then I went home (Heishingen) for a while, and the housekeeper told me that this year's grain production in the territory is indeed less than in previous years, Württemberg, Baden, Bavaria and other regions are similar, this is an opportunity, then I will go and talk to them (the nobility of the South German region), let them drain you, It's convenient. Konstantin said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Ernst was overjoyed, he has been walking between Berlin and Vienna recently, and he has not paid attention to the situation in his hometown, if it were not for his father's visit to Berlin this time, I am afraid that he would have missed this opportunity.

"Father, you have really helped a lot, and then you and your old buddies will say that I can ask for as many immigrants as I want this time, and there are local arrangements in East Africa." Ernst said excitedly.

This is a proper high-quality immigrant, which fully meets all the requirements of Ernst for immigrants, and the Germans are still peasants, and the level of education is not very high (the popularization of compulsory education in South Germany is not as good as that in North Germany).

The southwest region has always been an important area for German overseas immigrants, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of people living abroad.

If this part of the immigration can be well utilized, it can at least increase the pure German population in East Africa by more than 100,000 (many of the current Austro-Hungarian immigrants in the East African colonies are OEM Germans).

Coupled with the education of Paraguayan children, it is possible to change their identity in this generation, and then the German population will be barely on par with Chinese immigrants (Chinese and white people marry and automatically classify as mixed-race, not Chinese). ）

Although there are more counterfeit and shoddy Germans, after two or three generations, they are all the original German nation, and there are naturally families in the West, such as the Hohenzollern family where Ernst is located, each branch is clear and traceable, and there is no difference from the East.

But ordinary people in the West are far less than the Easterners have the concept of clan, such as in the Far Southeast, ordinary people Kenning does not have the ability and financial resources to cultivate genealogy, but most of them are family clusters, and the rich and famous people in the family will organize genealogy to continue together, so the Orientals are descendants of nobles per capita.

In the West, the boundary between nobles and commoners is clear, and nobles recognize each other as real aristocrats, so commoners don't care about their own backgrounds at all, and they can't change it.

So when they come to East Africa, these immigrants, who are educated for two or three generations, don't know who their ancestors are, at most remember the grandparents of the first generation of immigrants.

After all, in this era, the cultural level of peasants, many ways of recording rely on memory rather than writing, which will form a record fault.

At that time, relying on the education system of the colonies and instilling ideas in the children of immigrants from an early age, Ernst was whatever he wanted, and it was not impossible to create another nation.
