Chapter 174 The Conditions of the Two
"Your Majesty, Earl, I think it is not appropriate to simply recruit people to go there." Robert looked a little reserved on his face, hesitated before admonishing Perficott: " The North is now in a state of poverty. What we need is a large number of professionals and technical workers. Ordinary people are not suitable to survive in the current environment of the North.”
Robert, who has been to the North once before, expressed his opinions on the North. Xue was deeply impressed. Although he did not stay long, he was still able to deeply understand that if there are no warm enough houses, sufficient fuel and food supplies, let alone ordinary people, even strictly trained soldiers or It is also difficult for extraordinary people to survive in the extremely cold environment in the north.
If we just send those who can't survive in the empire to the colonies like we did in the past, and then let them work on their own to reclaim the wasteland, eight out of ten will freeze to death in the wilderness of the north.
So Robert feels that even if it is just recruiting people to go to the northern border to reclaim the wasteland, there should be certain screening, rather than blindly recruiting everyone.
But regarding this point, Purficott waved his hands indifferently and said, "That's your business. I said, you go recruit people to go to the north. As for what you recruited, I don’t care what method you use to recruit people.
Even if you are just doing human smuggling and importing black pallu from Heizhou to the north, as long as you don’t need me to pay, I’m fine with it. You!
Of course, those black paru must be managed well. I don’t want the streets in the north to be full of black paru in the future. Their reproductive ability is too strong and they are very happy to give birth. This is not good. ”
The same thing as the Palu trade in the original world naturally happened in this world. In order to plunder and colonize, those early colonists plundered a large number of Palu from the Black Continent and sold them to the New World colonies as colonial labor force.
However, in the mainland of the empire, this kind of slave trade is not very popular. After all, aristocratic families have very high requirements for servants. Most of those black pallu can only do some heavy physical work, plus No matter what, we have to maintain the dignity of some civilized countries on the mainland, so these black pallu are not used.
However, even so, the black palu trade is still very popular between the New World and the Black Continent.
"Palu are not suitable for the north. They are more suitable for life in the tropics rather than the cold zone." Robert shook his head, and then replied: "Even ordinary people in the empire are not suitable for the north. Environment, how can these automatic farm tools originating from Heizhou adapt to the cold in the north?
I still insist on my opinion that the north needs more professional talents and skilled workers, and these should be imported from the north? "The focus of population."
Perfect didn't comment on Robert's insistence and didn't say anything more. He just nodded: "If you insist, then go ahead and do it!" I will ask you what method you used, or what kind of population you sent to the north. All I want is the result."
At this point, Perfectcott looked at Robert with a different expression. Looking at him with such eyes, he then said: "I don't like repeating a sentence three times, and I don't like people arguing with me. If you think you are right, just do it and prove it to me."
Robert felt like his back was soaked with sweat as Purficott stared at him like this.
Obviously he just ignored that the Purficott in front of him was his lord, and he should not have spoken to Purficott in the tone just now. "I'm sorry, Lord Earl! I was rude, I understand what I should do." Robert realized his mistake and quickly apologized to Perfectcott.
"It doesn't matter. I don't mind if my subordinates have some personalities and tempers of their own. I can tolerate any objections to the orders I give, but I don't like people following them. I argue, right or wrong, prove it to me with facts." After saying this, Perfectcott turned to look at Oliver, who seemed to have gained weight again, and asked him: "What about you, Oliver? What have you been busy with during this time? Why do I feel like you’ve gained weight again?”
Oliver and Purficott have already had too many collaborations, so they are relatively familiar with each other. Purficott's speech was not so formal.
"I can't help it. Who makes the identity of the Northern Territory Pioneering Knight so popular? During this period, many people hope to get to know you, Lord Earl, through me, and they also hope to use this to invest in the Northern Territory." Oliver's face showed a flattering look. Smiling, he complained to Purficott: "Sir, you don't know, during this period, I was almost sick from eating just attending dinner parties! You know me, I am not in good health, and I am really worried about eating. I don’t have any hobbies!
But I am willing to sacrifice my health for the sake of the North. As long as you need it, I will be happy to attend no matter how many dinner parties you have.”
Speaking of this, Oliver also did it deliberately. He showed a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
Perficott knew this fat man very well. Profit was the only thing he pursued, and everything else was just a disguise for the fat man.
Even the "intentional" pretense of righteousness he displayed was just what he wanted to show to himself.
So Purficott didn't take his words seriously, and just asked casually: "What's the gain from eating so many banquets?"
Perfect didn't care. How much benefit did this fat man get from it? She only cared about what this fat man could bring to herself.
The Northern Territory is lacking everything now. If this fat man can attract some sponsorship or other things for the Northern Territory, then Purficott won't mind if she gets a little fatter in the process.
“Thanks to you, sir, I have met many big people during this period. They want to invest in the North. Some of them are interested in the various resources contained in the North, and some are investing in the future market of the North. , There are also people who want to get a knighthood from you, sir." Oliver introduced to Perfectcott. The fat man seemed very professional and serious at this time, and he didn't look like a philistine and cunning person at all.
"Title, interests..." Purficott couldn't help but sneered, and then said indifferently: "I welcome those who are willing to invest in the North, and I will sort out their investment intentions and the requirements they put forward. Make a document together with the conditions and send it to me for review
If the conditions are right, there is no problem in giving them some benefits. The land in the north is vast enough, and it is more than enough to confer some knights or knights. ”
