Although it costs more than a dozen gold coins to buy a French boy. However, Marin did not feel sorry for him at all. Why? Because he used French Transnell silver coins forged nickel and white copper to buy people. The cost is almost the same as copper coins. Hundreds of white copper "silver coins" can be regarded as the value of a gold coins. Buying a strong French boy is only more than a thousand white copper "silver coins".
In short, Marin bought people in France and couldn't spend a lot of money. The cost of nickel-white copper is very low. More than a thousand nickel-white copper "silver coins" are worth about hundreds of grams of silver. After conversion, it is only two or three taels of silver. In gold coins, it is only two or three. In fact, it is much cheaper than buying Maozi and Maomei.
So, Marin was excited - since the French population is so cheap and so overeat, then sell it to me! Train the French children into Mamluk cavalry like murderous machines, and then fight with the French. The picture is simply beautiful...
Thinking of this, Marin sent an order to Cuba Island - to produce more nickel! At the same time, Marin sent a fleet to go to India and China to buy more cheap copper. If calculated based on the copper prices of India and China, the cost of the fake French Transnier silver coins used to buy French boys is less than a gold coin...
Such huge profits have to make Marin crazy. He bought a French boy with less than a gold coin. The cost is much cheaper than a cattle and horse. It is used as a cannon fodder cavalry, even if only one of the boys survived, it is very cheap.
Then, better news came - in Switzerland, population transactions seemed to be booming. Moreover, most of the Swiss are Germans!
Because Marin supported the Habsburg family invading Switzerland, it led to wars in recent years. Originally, a few years ago, Switzerland had a population of 750,000. However, after a few years of war, Switzerland, which was already very poor, became even poorer. The population has also decreased by at least about 100,000.
Some of the reduced population of 100,000 were affected by war and died, while others fled to other countries. Now, whether it is the eastern region of Switzerland under the control of the Habsburg family or the western region occupied by the Swiss and French, the economy is approaching collapse and people are living in great difficulty.
According to the spy report in Switzerland, the main currency currently circulating in western Switzerland is the French currency. For example, the French Transnier "silver" minted by Marin is the main currency in western Switzerland.
Moreover, as a state of the Holy Roman Empire, serfdom was open and did not need to be concealed in the name of "hiring slaves" like France. In the Swiss market, population trading is a legal and ordinary thing.
Therefore, Marin could completely cast more French Transnier "silver coins" and go to western Switzerland to spend hard, buy serfs, and enrich the population.
As for the Swiss anti-Habsburg family, Marin was not a member of the Habsburg family, but had a good relationship with the Habsburg family. Moreover, buying them himself would make them feel full and well-dressed. If Taylor's disciples and grandchildren were fooled and would not be able to get up to the Tao after a few years of education, they would have to be sent to the tropical areas to suffer. Those who were obedient would be sent to the North American colonies.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no dissemination of Calvinist sect ideas in Switzerland, the current Swiss people can still "save"...
As for the eastern region of Switzerland, which accounts for most of the population, although it is under the control of the Habsburg family, Marin can still send people to buy serfs. At worst, it will be a little good for the Habsburg family. Anyway, Switzerland has many mountains and cannot support so many people.
In short, whether it is French or Swiss, as long as it can be bought on the market, Marin wants to attract them. Because of cultural reasons, Marin is only willing to buy teenagers with great plasticity. The Swiss, because they are Germans, Marin is an adult and a child... However, in western Switzerland, Marin buys people with fake French silver coins. In the eastern part, Marin must be more disciplined and exchanged for food that the Habsburg family lacks. After all, the Habsburg family has so many troops in Switzerland, and they need a lot of food...
...
Just when Marin was secretly trying to plunder the population from France and Switzerland at a low price, it was mid-to-late September, and the autumn harvest of the Beihai Kingdom began earlier than other European countries...
This autumn harvest is very different from previous years. Because the Beihai Kingdom introduced the harvesting artifact - Mai Sarule from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this year's wheat harvest is very efficient.
About 40,000 farmers in Beihai Country received training on the use of samarium. They used 20,000 double samarium. Under the surprise gaze of other farmers, they began an extremely efficient harvest.
Because they have been training the usage for about two months, although they cannot achieve the efficiency of two skilled farmers harvesting 20 acres per day for two people a day, they also have the efficiency of more than 15 acres per two people a day. On average, each person harvests seven or eight acres per day.
Ordinary farmers use sickles to harvest two acres of land every day to be considered as the sky. A middle-aged couple can harvest about 3 acres of land a day.
When 40,000 farmers who had received training before were in groups of two, they swayed the two sharks and swung them in the wheat fields, the side was surrounded by stupid farmers...
There are a total of 400,000 farmers in Beihai Country, and a total of about 12 million mu of arable land were cultivated. On average, each strong man only cultivated 30 mu of land. This was the limit of ordinary farmers' arable land. However, with the introduction of Prade plow trucks, maize and pike trucks, the land that 400,000 farmers can actually reach about 40 million mu of land.
However, that's the next season. This season, because advanced agricultural tools have not yet begun to be used, the autumn harvest can only harvest 12 million acres of land.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Among them, 6 million acres of land are Malin's private land. This is also the biggest bonus that Malin has obtained after annexing the countries. He moved all the defeated nobles of various countries to Bremen Province, and then all the lands in the nobles' families belonged to him...
However, among these 6 million mu of land, only 2.4 million mu are located in several areas where new fertilizers are promoted, including East Friesland, West Friesland, Schleswig, Oldenburg and North Münster. As for other areas, old farming methods are still used, but volcanic ash is introduced as fertilizer.
Therefore, only 2.4 million mu of land under the name of Marin has a yield of more than 500 pounds per mu due to the application of new agricultural technology and fertilizers. The yield per mu of 3.6 million mu of land in other provinces is only about 200 pounds per mu.
But even so, this total output can scare countless people to death. Of course, this is just an estimated output, and it will take until the harvest is completed.
However, the output of the 2.4 million mu of arable land that uses new agricultural technology and new fertilizers should be only more. However, the output of the 3.6 million mu of land that only sprinkled with volcanic ash is difficult to say, and there may be high and low. After all, if the three fertilizers are not complete, everything is possible.
But the total output should not be much different in the end. Because the total output of the 2.4 million mu of fields that use new technologies and new fertilizers should be much higher than the estimate. Even if the 3.6 million mu of farmland that only uses volcanic ash yield is less than 200 pounds per mu, the lack of part can be filled. Therefore, unless there is heavy rain during the autumn harvest, this year's autumn harvest, the Beihai Guoguang is a farmland under the name of Marin, and the total output of rye will definitely exceed 1.9 billion pounds. As for the other half of the farmland that does not belong to Marin, the promotion of new agricultural technology and three fertilizers is not high, but the total output of more than 1.5 billion pounds should not be a problem.
In short, as long as the autumn harvest does not rain heavily, billions of pounds of grain will be put into the warehouse this year. With the harvesting artifact of samarina, this year's autumn harvest will probably end many days earlier than in previous years. However, because only one-tenth of the farmers know how to use samarina, and they are not very skilled. Therefore, this year's autumn harvest will generally be several days faster than in previous years. If everyone is familiar with using samarina next year, the harvesting speed will be faster.
However, Marin already plans to reclaim more fields in spring next year. After all, with Prade plow trucks, sir and marina, farmers can cultivate more land. As a result, the wheat fields have increased and the autumn harvest speed has been pulled back...
