Chapter 277: Prelude to the Establishment of the Kingdom of North America
After ten years, from the initial drunken accident to the North American continent in 1717, Shoren spent a huge amount of time and money to establish a family business here. Thousands of animals on the North American continent were turned into furs by him, which greatly enriched the Chinese leather market. A huge amount of European cultural relics and Indian handicrafts also flowed into the Chinese market, which made people puzzled, and at the same time, Europeans had to pay a lot of money to buy these cultural relics back.
There are countless gold mines that Xiao Lin has brought to sell in the 21st century, and of course, he has also received industrial help from the 21st century. From nothing, it is now able to produce its own rifles, pistols, submachine guns, machine guns, artillery, mortars and light tanks. At the same time, because of the existence of a machine tool factory, the equipment is still constantly being updated and improved. In the future, it will even be able to reach the level of China in the 90s of the 20th century, and this time will not be too long. It can be said that Xiao Lin did succeed.
Now, on the last day of 1729, there was no hostile power left on the entire North American continent. Yanhuang Trading Company has become a veritable overlord of the entire North American continent. After successively annexing more than 70 tribes, large and small, the company's population also expanded to 3.2 million. Of course, there are many strong laborers who died on the battlefield because of the war, and there are more old people, children and women left, especially women, very much, just right, and it also solves the dilemma of the company with a little more men and fewer women.
Because there are too many new populations, there is no centralized training, and training is carried out directly in new towns. Participating in the training was given food every month, and if they didn't go, there would be no food, and most of these Indians would not be able to farm, and they would not be allocated land for the time being. They were not allowed to go out hunting, and they had to go to school every day to get their monthly rations. The company's classrooms are not easy to go to, in addition to teaching them literacy and teaching them the knowledge of survival in each school, there is a lot of brainwashing everywhere without a trace.
By the end of the three-month training, these people were brainwashed into honest people who were loyal to the company and made progress every day. When everything was ready, Shawlin officially put the matter of the founding of the country on the agenda. Someone had proposed that Xiao Lin build the country and ascend the throne, but at that time, Xiao Lin still had to deal with the affairs of the 21st century, and he was really busy. And at that time, the company's population was only one million, and at that time, Xiao Lin always felt that he would be laughed at, the population was too small, and there was no country at all.
Well, it seems that the right time has come. The number of people is enough, the number of armies is enough, the number of towns is enough. Moreover, now the people below have begun to pick up Xiao Lin and build the country again. is still the same sentence, as the younger brother who follows others, only when the boss has a high status, their status can be higher. A trading company is not as high-end and high-grade as the kingdom. Xiao Lin was so annoyed that he officially put it into the process.
Unexpectedly, this one was voted on by the board of directors and immediately passed by unanimous vote. These people seem to be talking about cross talk, and they don't leave Xiao Lin any room to speak, just you and me, and the date is determined. May 13, 1730, was also the time when Shoren first inadvertently entered the North American continent and began the official founding ceremony. It always takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and this is the only time in life, and as a powerful force that dominates a continent, it is impossible to overstate the luxury.
The founding ceremony combines the ancient traditions of the Chinese people and the sacred ceremonies of the white Indians, and has a unique style of the company, but it can also be seen in the shadow of the three parties. The company's population is large, and there are races of all colors on the entire planet, as well as all continents, and it is far more enlightened than when the United States was founded. In order to show the strength of the company, Xiao Lin also asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start distributing invitations. The royal families of France, Spain and Portugal all received invitations.
Even, as the main opponent of the company, the British received an invitation from the French. Some of the Indian tribes on the South American continent who were often active outside also received invitations, and they had heard of them. The same Indians are very interested in this powerful tribe on another continent. There is also the matter of Spain and Portugal, the colonies of the two countries will be handed over to the company at the end of the 30th year, and the company entrusts them to preach a little bit of their good words first, and the two countries that rely on the company to eat will naturally not refuse.
So, they all know that there is a powerful Indian force on the North American continent, which is much stronger in science and technology than the white people. Now that they are going to build a country, and they want to say that they will send a boat to pick them up, they naturally agree to go. On the European side, the fleet sent by the company to send invitations to bring people back, and on the South American side, there is naturally a fleet. After this period of development, the number of warships in the company's fleet has expanded to 100 ships.
Relying on more than 40 steel warships bought from the 21st century as the core, the rest of the ships are newly converted clippers. In the past, those modified warships have entered the elimination sequence, ready to be sold to the Chamber of Commerce below to be used as armed merchant ships. None of the guns were dismantled, and Shotin was confident that any of the company's existing warships would be able to easily send them to the bottom of the sea. The armor is new, the steam engine is new, the artillery is new.
On the European side, it was impossible for the kings of the four countries to attend the founding ceremony. They were also divided into two camps to fight for life and death, and naturally it was impossible for them to leave the kingdom and go to the North American continent, thousands of miles away, to participate in a ceremony. However, in order to show respect, and to get a deeper sense of the strength of the company, they all sent the duke of their own country to set off with a ship. However, as allies, France and the three countries boarded one of the company's supply ships in the port.
Although it is a supply ship, it is no less than a cruise ship for them. There was no junk on board, and the crew was not a fierce warrior who looked more like a pirate, but a well-mannered gentleman, unbeknownst to them, who were just the first cadets of the Naval Academy. The point is that the supply ship is very well stocked, and there is also a professional kitchen and dining room where you can enjoy very delicious food from the afterlife. And it was originally a recreation room for the crew to relax, but it was occupied by the nobles one by one the next day.
Hit the billiards elegantly, then pick up the crystal next to it and take a sip of the fine wine inside, which is heaven in the eyes of these nobles. If it weren't for the fact that the voyage was just over a month, they would have been able to stay in it until Christmas the following year. After getting off the boat, they began to wonder if they had entered heaven. Because they are moored in Boston, the company has completely modified Boston. Boston is a well-established seaport city with great commercial development value.
Sholin didn't need Boston as the capital, so he developed it into an entertainment and commercial city, like Macau or Alaska's casino. A neighborhood in Boston has been transformed into a giant casino, replicating the 21st-century gambling model in all aspects, attracting a large number of merchants every day. The red business and drugs are gone, and the gambling house business can only be done by the government, and others find out that one family has killed another.
However, strip bars and bars can be found everywhere, especially striptease bars. Xiao Lin took the original girls in special industries to train for a period of time, and when they came back, they caused an explosive welcome. With a new beautiful look, sexy costumes, and a hot dance, the dance bar is filled with people of all grades with nosebleeds cheering every time they dance. They are also very satisfied that they don't have to serve guests at all, and they can get far more than many times or more than ten times more revenge than before. Of course, if they meet a generous young and handsome guest, they will have a Spring Festival with others, and the official will not stop them.
Of course, the most important thing here is the variety of delicious food. Xiao Lin released the chefs he had been cultivating, met a chef technical school, and trained batch after batch of Chinese or Western chefs, and the most discerning people of this era would not refuse any of the cuisine here. The second is the place to buy and sell their own luxury clothing and accessories, from the 21st century design, at first glance a little unaccustomed, but after a while everyone will be attracted to them, for this purpose at a great expense, Xiao Lin has even begun to hype diamonds.
The most iconic buildings here are the newly built Chamber of Commerce and a huge number of large warehouses. These are the places where businessmen trade and communicate, and they are the first places where businessmen go. However, now there are only businessmen from the company and three allies, and it is not very prosperous. These aristocrats came early, and Shawlin asked them to arrange for them to have a good time in Boston. The French duke is not even old, and on the third night, he hooked up with two strippers to have a double flight.
Many aristocrats linger in the food street, jewelry street and clothing street, and spend money like water every day. There are also some big aristocrats, fooling around in the casino all day long, if it weren't for Xiao Lin seeing that the company is not particularly wealthy now, and stipulating that every game cannot be played to the size of the next generation, I am afraid that their property will shrink by half. These nobles opened their eyes and prepared to organize caravans to come here as well when they returned. Not only can you earn more money, but you can also enjoy a heavenly life.
Later, those from South America were also brought here after finishing a tour of the company's industrial capabilities, and the two sides actually entered the mode of showing off their wealth. Before the founding ceremony began, Shawing made a lot of money, all of which were contributed to him by these guys, and Shawling couldn't help but give a deep thumbs up for his foresight in transforming Boston, and now who would say that he was a waste of money.
