No matter what, Marin made a profit on this trip. After all, it was a population of 67,800. Even if it was a family of three, it had a population of 203,400. If it was a family of five, it would be 339,000. These days, more than 300,000 people were in northern Germany, and the population of a considerable country was a large number of people.
However, considering the war, it is unlikely that a family of five will be a family of five, and the family of three will be too small. Therefore, it is estimated that it will be about four in the end, but there are more than 200,000 people.
As for the double price, Marin is not a pity. Because he originally offered 10 gold coins per household, it was indeed unkind. Because the Crimean Khanate sold Russians at a cheap price, and it had to be about the same price. 20 gold coins per household is not low, but it is not high either.
If these laborers arrive in the Americas and each household reclaims 100 acres of land, the rye produced by these 100 acres alone will probably be more than 40,000 pounds (calculated at 400 pounds per acre), and the value will be more than 600 gold coins!
So, in general, Marin still made a lot of money!
However, this is also a hidden danger. Because if all these 200,000 people are sent to the Americas, the Hungarian population will occupy the majority of the colonial population. After all, even if the 26,500 households brought back from Württemberg and the 3,000 German immigrants who have been transported, it will only be 28,500, which is not even half of the Hungarian immigrants. Even if those tens of thousands of English immigrants are added, the number cannot be compared with Hungarian immigrants.
If ethnic conflicts occur in the colony, then the Magyars, who have an absolute population advantage, will definitely be able to turn against each other and gain the dominance of the colony.
For this reason, Marin was very troubled by the resettlement of this group of Hungarian prisoners of war.
...
After thinking about it, Marin finally came up with a solution - not in a hurry to send Hungarian immigrants to the Americas, but to let tens of thousands of Hungarian prisoners of war go to the Lammersberg silver mine in Goslar for a few years.
With the addition of these tens of thousands of strong men, the development speed of the Goslar silver mine will be greatly improved. Just so, Marin still owes the Fuger family a lot of money. The mined silver is just used to pay the bill.
As for these Hungarian men who refused to be honest in mining? This is not a problem! Because Heinx's Sixth Corps happened to be stationed in Goslar. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Sixth Corps were watching, so there was no need to worry about these Hungarian prisoners of war being dishonest.
Then, while mining the silver mine in Goslar, Marin will also arrange a large number of missionaries who know Magyar to teach these miners German. It also stipulates that the salary of miners who speak German will double, otherwise the basic salary will be maintained... In this way, there is no need to worry that these Hungarian men will not actively learn German.
As for children, it is even simpler. Send them to school and let them learn German systematically. Good German scores are rewarded, and poor German scores are punished corporal...
The elderly can give up, but middle-aged women also need to go to the "literacy class" to learn German. Similarly, if you learn well, you will be given more food, and if you learn poorly, you will even deduct part...
After a few years, these Hungarian prisoners of war were highly Germanized, and their edges were smoothed out, and they were sent to North America to open up land. At that time, it would be much easier to manage.
...
To this end, Marin has sent people to Goslar to deliver letters, asking the local Sixth Army to cooperate with the local government to build a large large squatter near the Goslar Silver Mine with a capacity of more than 200,000 people to accommodate those Hungarian prisoners of war.
In addition, the Sixth Corps' garrison is arranged nearby. Once there is chaos in mine work, you can suppress it as soon as possible...
To place these Hungarian residents, you can use ordinary straw-stringed adobe houses. But to control these Hungarian prisoners of war, a large wall must be needed. Building a wall must be solid. If you use stones, the speed is too slow. Because there are not so many stonemasons to polish the stones.
Therefore, in order to speed up the construction of the wall, Malin Feige sent a letter to China, asking Kohler to arrange for the cement plant to start a large-scale increase in cement production for the construction of the walls of the Goslar Miner City. As for bricks, it is not cost-effective to transport this thing from other places, so it is better to build a brick kiln and burn bricks in the local area. At most, transport coal from Ruhr District as fuel...
...
The Stone City of Zimbabwe, far away in southeastern Africa, this abandoned city welcomed more than 2,000 Spanish colonial troops.
And the leader of this colonial army was named Hernan Cortez...
That's right, it's Hernan Cortez who conquered the Aztec Empire in Mexico in history, that adventure guy!
This time, Cortez led two square formations to a total of 2,500 Spanish soldiers to expedition to the Stone City of Zimbabwe. This guy also acted without authorization and ventured forward.
At present, Cortez is only 29 years old and is a middle-level officer in the Spanish army. He happened to be sent by the Spanish royal family to the New Spanish colony at the mouth of the Save River in Mozambique.
At this time, the Governor of the colony named "New Spain" was Gonzalez transferred from India, the colonial official who proposed to introduce elephants from India and then set off a road in the tropical rainforest of Mozambique.
Originally, Gonzalez was just a low-level colonial official. However, because of his contribution to opening up the road, he was promoted by the Spanish court to the new governor of New Spain, responsible for opening up the road to the Great Zimbabwe Empire.
When Cortez came to Mozambique and served as deputy general of the colonial colonial army, the road to the rainforest of Mozambique to Zimbabwe was almost opened.
At this time, the outpost of the Spanish expedition had actually arrived at the junction of the rainforest in Mozambique and the savanna in Zimbabwe.
According to Governor Gonzalez's idea, he planned to let the expedition team enter the grassland area on the Zimbabwe plateau to explore the way, and then contact the Stone City, the capital of the Zimbabwe Empire. After contacting, he would find a way to send troops to capture...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! However, Cortez couldn't wait. Because he had received the news that he might be transferred back to China. Because his term of office is coming soon.
However, he has been in Mozambique for more than three years and has not made any contribution, which makes him very unhappy. You should know that although he is a child of a noble, he has no right to inherit. If he cannot make contributions, he will not be able to become a noble.
It just so happened that Besitas, the chief general of the Spanish garrison in Mozambique, died of illness, and the local people wanted to replace the main general, but he could not react for a while. Before getting the news from the local people and appointing a new main general, Cortez luckily became the acting chief general of the New Spain Governor's District in Mozambique...
Then, Cortez's ambition burst out...
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Governor took a boat to find a new suitable place for colonization along the African coast, Cortez used his military power to temporarily control the Governor of New Spain, mobilized supplies, and embarked on an adventure expedition...
Cortez left only a few hundred people to stay in the New Spain Fort at the mouth of the Save River, and he led two square formations that the colonies could only dispatch, a total of 2,500 people along the Save River and directly broke into the grassland area in eastern Zimbabwe.
Fortunately, after entering the Zimbabwe Plateau area, the local environment has changed from the most complex rainforest to an endless savanna.
On the savanna, there are much fewer dangerous animals than in the tropical rainforest. Cortez led his men and horses to follow the Save River all the way. Then, under the guidance of the gestures of the local black people, he went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived at the legendary gold city - the Zimbabwe Empire Stone City...
However, after arriving at the legendary Stone City, Cortez couldn't help but swear, cursing Marin, calling Marin a big liar!
Because the Stone City in front of Cortez is majestic, but it has been abandoned for decades. Through the exchange of gestures with the locals, I learned that the Zimbabwe Empire had moved the whole country and moved to the north after collecting gold decades ago...
I heard that the legendary gold of the Zimbabwe Empire had been mined for decades, but Cortez almost fainted after hearing this! It turns out that after all the hardships, he had taken the risk of finding only an empty city left...
