How to say it, it’s not that Marin had not rehearsed the old chiefs of the Rapp, but they couldn’t understand the language after speaking. Also, these people were not soldiers from Beihai and had poor obedience.
Before, Malin thought of a way to reward brave food, and lured them to obey the command. But he didn't expect that these old men were crazy and got excited after seeing people all over the street, especially children.
Why? Because in this era, the Lapu people lived in the cold Arctic Circle, with low fertility rates and low infant survival rates. Therefore, the Lapu people love children very much and are happy to see them. Especially, because the fertility rate of girls in cold areas is high and there are few boys, the Lapu people especially love boys. Because in ancient times, boys were the pillars and the hope of the tribe.
It was a coincidence that most of the naughty boys were on the streets of Beihai Country. A few old men from Lapu saw so many boys, and they were happy to see the hunting, so they started to scatter gifts and even played with the children. Then, they returned all the rehearsals and learning to Marin...
Then, the solemn and sad atmosphere that Marin originally rendered was turned into a silly scene by a group of old jokers. However, it was quite happy.
Marin's face was so angry that his face was twisted, but Kohler quietly told him that he heard the envoys chatting and said that Marin's mind must have been smashed by an iceberg, otherwise how could he have the frozen soil in the Arctic?
Hearing these people's slander, Marin was not angry but happy. He held this ceremony of ascending the throne, not to show off, but to promote the desolation and valuelessness of the Arctic.
So he simply sent an interpreter who understood the Rapp language to help the old chiefs communicate with the children.
Then, these old men were also unreliable, and they brag about it. In order to show their courage, they brag about the fierce monsters in the North Pole. They fight monsters every day...
Under Marin's suggestion, the translators deliberately spoke loudly. Then, the envoys from various countries also learned from the bragging old guys that a "monster everywhere". Then, they were even more fortunate to gloat...
...
Looking at the group of envoys who were eating melons, Marin smiled and then used his ultimate move...
During the meal after the ceremony, several living reindeer were led to the restaurant. In front of the envoys, the chef of the Lapps bleed the reindeer on the spot, poured the warm blood into the pottery bowl, and sprinkled some salt, and then brought it to the envoys.
"What is this for?" The envoys were puzzled.
"Drink!" the waiter explained according to the rehearsal.
"The people of Lapu usually drink deer blood and eat raw meat! By the way, deer blood should be warm while it is hot, otherwise it will not be good to drink if it is cold..."
In fact, the Lapp people usually eat barbecue. But sometimes it is difficult to find firewood in winter, and sometimes they do drink deer blood and raw meat. But it is usually the case when they are forced to do so. Only the Eskimos, that is, the Inuits, are the people who eat raw meat and blood.
But in order to scare these envoys, Marin deliberately said that the Lapp people usually live like this. Sure enough, such a barbaric lifestyle scared many weak envoys. Only a small number of envoys were obviously warriors who tried to drink deer blood and eat raw meat, and the other envoys did not dare to try. Of course, Marin did not force them to eat, but just showed them the difficulties of the people of the North.
In fact, the Lap people are not smart enough. For example, the nomads in northern China know to collect sheep manure and cow manure as fuel. After all, it is difficult to find fuel in the grassland in winter. As for hay, it is for food for livestock, and it is too wasteful to use it to burn.
Of course, there is also a problem with using beef and sheep manure as fuel, which is that it is best not to use it for barbecue. After all, manure is feces, directly smoke the barbecue... Well, think about it yourself, will it bring some of the flavor...
Therefore, the Mongolians usually cook meat in iron pots. There is no way, the manure-fueled barbecue is a bit like that. And having an iron pot cooked between them will be much better... But nomadic peoples can't smel iron, so in history, nomadic people went south to plunder, and iron pots were their important target of plunder.
In the future, Marin plans to promote the breeding of Icelandic horses, yaks and Icelandic sheep in the Lapland region. The feces produced by these hardy varieties can be collected as fuel. As for iron pots, the Beihai National Iron Factory said there is no pressure. Moreover, the iron ore of Shilkness can also provide a lot of iron-rich ore for iron smelting. Marin occupying the Lapland region is a win-win situation.
Of course, Marin did not expect to make a fortune by the Lapland region. As long as this place is not paid down, Marin would be satisfied. In fact, in addition to the seaside iron ore of Shilknes, Marin also valued Russian immigrants accepted by the Murmansk region. Only population is the most important basis of productivity in this era of backward technology.
Also, the iron ore of Shilkness also requires people to mine, right? In this era without mining machinery, it can only rely on manual mining. Therefore, Marin needed to obtain at least several thousand strong laborers from the Grand Principal of Moscow to serve as miners of Shilkness Iron ore.
Of course, Marin will not treat them unfairly. At that time, all kinds of food will be filled. There will even be special fishing boats to catch sea fish for miners. Unlike farmers, farmers who farm mainly spend a lot of energy during spring plowing and autumn harvest, and they need to eat good food. Miners consume a lot of energy every day. Therefore, eating fish every meal is very necessary. After all, you need to work hard every day.
Marin was unable to provide them with enough meat, but the fish resources along the coast of Norway are abundant, so it is still very easy to provide them with fish food for a long time.
In addition, next time the population plundered from the Grand Principal of Moscow, Marin planned not to take the St. Petersburg port route, but instead took the Murmansk route.
Why? Because it’s eye-catching!
St. Petersburg is indeed a desolate area at present, but when going to sea from St. Petersburg, ships must pass through the Danish waters. The Ore Strait is very narrow and it will definitely not escape the eyes of the Danish patrol ship. Moreover, Lübeck and Hamburg also stationed a fleet in the Ore Strait, so you can definitely know the details.
Although these three forces have no courage to stop them, they will definitely leak the news. At that time, it will definitely cause an uproar and jealousy. If someone comes to stop them during the transportation, it will only add to the trouble.
So, Marin simply changed his policy - to bring the immigrants to Murmansk on the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Then, he was transported back to the Beihai Kingdom from here.
Although you will encounter ships from other forces along the coast of Norway, they are not as narrow as the Ore Strait, and other ships dare not approach them rashly to observe. The North Sea is so big that everyone can keep a distance and keep it mysterious. If you want to get close to them, you can open the cannon door to scare them...
However, this requires the establishment of a Murmansk port first. At that time, many ships will be hiring people by the port. Moreover, houses must be prepared in advance for temporary resettlement of immigrants. At the same time, food must be prepared for immigrants to be eaten while waiting.
Moreover, in addition to the war looting, this place can continue to be used to accommodate Ross immigrants who are willing to move to the North Sea Kingdom. Even if they are willing to settle here for a long time, Marin welcomes them.
