Chapter 498

September 20, 1785.

The great Miami was completed on both sides of the bay of Biscay in less than a month, and became the most prosperous commercial town on the Florida Peninsula on the day of completion.

The new Miami town is divided into five districts.

The estuary is the administrative center of her population, with 2413 registered residence and 537 non native population.

On the other side of the area is the barracks of the Miami regiment of the colonial garrison, in which there is an integrated projectile throwing regiment with 1400 people and 600 shore defense artillery.

Because the barracks had not been built in time, the officers and soldiers had to make do with living in temporary tents. The living conditions were worse than those of the Indian migrant workers' group living in sheds.

The college is a cultural and educational center with 227 registered residence and 962 non native population.

The University of Miami has been built for only five days and has attracted more than 800 students from all over the world, of which more than 300 have hurriedly become sophomores.

The hickey district is her technology center, with 1297 registered residence and 3351 non native population.

The most beautiful rich area in Miami is located on the shore of the lake, which makes the Pirates of the Caribbean Pirates fearless of the two fleet of the first fleet and the secret service of Drake.

Miami Beach is her business center, with 37 plank roads and 116 large and medium-sized berths. More than 80 merchant ships enter and leave the wharf every day, and more than 100 chambers of Commerce set up permanent stations on this narrow sand island.

This is the largest population and the largest area of development in Miami. Although the registered residence population is only 262, the resident population of non permanent residents is 5159.

There is also the mysterious Fifth District, the planning name is Jianbi District, which is located on Virginia Island further south of the South Biscay islands, across the sea from the garrison camp.

It is planned to be built into the garrison headquarters in Miami, and the second Miami Regiment (line Corps) and the second coastal defense battalion will be stationed after the infrastructure is complete.

In addition, the composition plan of two coastal defense forts, 60 large forts, a military port and a five ship defense fleet is lying on the desk of the governor's office of St. Augustine, and it seems that only poverty can prevent them from landing.

Only when you come to Miami can you know the infinite charm of this town.

With full feelings and expectations, the mayor of dipyani, who has only been in office for five days, is full of hope for the future!

Meanwhile, jackdaw District, pansy manor.

Lorraine signed a document, then took off the ring and stamped it on the fresh fire paint.

He handed the document to edley: "send it to New York by express ship and ask President Parker to arrange things as soon as possible..."

"Yes!"

Edley took the document and strode out. Lorraine hammered himself on the shoulder, sighed, took the next document and opened it.

Working time always flies. Lorraine processes the last document in hand, writes instructions and signs his name. Suddenly, she smells the fragrance of coffee.

"Haina?" he looked up after the fragrance and saw Carmen standing at the table with coffee and a smile, "ah... Carmen..."

The little fox narrowed his eyes and handed over the coffee: "what? I'm sorry, why not jessla?"

"It's not a pity, it's strange." Lorraine took the coffee and took a beautiful SIP as she corrected. "Cappuccino, it's still fresh... Did I just fall asleep? Or did I just pass out?"

"Only those who devote themselves to their work will be ignorant of the changes around them, my captain." Carmen flew across the desk like a butterfly and sat down. "What are you going to let the American chapter do?"

"Of course it's preparation..." in the middle of the sentence, Lorraine stared, "no, how long have you been in?"

"About an hour and seven minutes. At that time, you were still processing the documents for chuck. It didn't seem suitable to be disturbed."

"And then?"

"Serious men are like the most exquisite works of art. I decided to enjoy them more."

"If I don't know your workload these days, I almost suspect you are crazy..." Lorraine rolled her eyes angrily. "I'm going to ask chuck to organize a sightseeing group in New York."

"Sightseeing?" Carmen cocked his head. "Sightseeing... Miami?"

"The landscape here is beautiful, isn't it?" Lorraine drank coffee and the old God was. "Generally speaking, when a new colonial town is established, the colonial empire will fill the population with the fastest speed and establish the main nation of the town."

"Loyal and sense of belonging of the main nation is the only magic weapon of rule. They can assimilate the later immigrants with culture and belief, control public opinion, elect parliament, and become a reliable militia in the face of war, help the rulers guard the cities and towns and let the invaders pay for them."

"The same applies in Miami."

"Suppose we are regarded as aborigines, a powerful aboriginal tribe that can't be enslaved. The only way tusala wants to build towns in our habitat is to turn us into citizens together."

"But that will create a problem. We will become the main nation of Miami. We will not only control all the land in the city, but also control the public opinion and parliament in the town, and completely turn the city hall into a good tool to reflect our sense of rule."

"Tutsela is a true patriot. On the premise that their own interests are protected, patriots have no reason to sit back and watch the tentacles of the motherland be used as tools."

Lorraine stretched himself: "according to our deliberations on the town council, the present provisional parliament will only last until December 31st. Next year's new year's day, the election committee will be formed. The 23 members of the town will be allocated to each district according to the registered residence population and elected independently by the districts."

"In other words, as long as the number of Spanish immigrants exceeds our naturalized employees and families before January 1 next year, Spaniards will have the opportunity to occupy the majority of Parliament. The more they lead, the greater the chance of advantage."

"So we may welcome a large number of Spanish immigrants at any time. Those bankrupt farmers, those businessmen who have confidence in the development of Miami, and perhaps our acquaintances. After all, there are 66 Spanish businessmen in the association, second only to Great Britain."

"On the day of the town establishment celebration, sir tutsela said that he wanted me to implement the construction of the sixth town of agriculture and animal husbandry as soon as possible. Even if I analyzed the fatal blow of Moses castle to the plantation economy with him, he still didn't change his mind."

"I guess he was already thinking about immigration at that time, and he didn't care about the birth of several rich planters among them, just so that every Spaniard across the sea could support himself."

At this point, lorington said, "so, how should we deal with it? Rejection?"

"Miami's size and geographical location are doomed that it will not become Drake's back garden, nor is it suitable to be managed by our family like St. Dana. It is not conducive to the development of Miami, and we can't use so much land."

"On the other hand, as long as we do not refuse immigration, the current situation that we have the right to speak with land is temporary. With the immigration of the population, whether it is sold at a high price, sold at a low price or given rewards, the land will always be diluted into the hands of the citizens, and no one can stop it."

"Combine these two points..."

Carmen's eyes lit up: "I see, Caribbean!"

"Sure enough, there will never be obstacles to communicate with you." Lorraine grinned happily. "What we have to do now is to adapt, welcome and try our best to make a profit in this wave of immigrants."

"First, bring Miami's land and housing into the temporary reward of the chamber of Commerce to encourage our employees to move in. The chamber of commerce still has a large population surplus. At least so far, less than 50 sailors directly under the fleet have settled here."

"Second, through the network of the American chapter, we can publicize the brilliant prospects of Miami in the whole new world. Unlike the European chapter, the American chapter has appeal in the whole Caribbean. They can bring us British and French, as well as pioneering people in central, southern and Northern Europe..."

"Compared with the large-scale British immigrants organized by the European chapter, the trend is driven by the American Chapter. It is not easy for the sensitive governor's office to be vigilant against us, but the population structure will also become complex."

"Once the population structure is complex, it is not easy for the main nation to be born. Even if the Spaniards are finally the largest ethnic group in Miami, their influence will be minimized. This is a good thing for Miami."

Carmen twisted his eyebrows, took out the paper from the table, picked up a feather brush and wrote.

After writing for a while, she threw away her pen and showed the newly drawn chart in front of Lorraine.

"Population curve for the next stage."

She pointed to the line with the highest initial height and the lowest fluctuation.

"Miami has a registered population of 4199, and Drake has 3775 employees and family members. The city hall does not have such clear data, and we have to consider our growth. In order to ensure the population advantage, they will certainly treat it as 4200."

"According to the most favorable immigration for them, before the establishment of the election committee on January 1 next year, the Spanish Development Association will move more than 4200 people, 4500, with an average of 1500 per month."

"There is also the American immigrant population. Although it is difficult to estimate, according to the influence of the 100 business association and Drake's reputation, we can barely apply the gradual model, with a total estimate of 2000."

"In other words, in the next three months, Miami will usher in the peak of naturalization. By the end of December, the naturalized population is likely to exceed 10000, and most of them will move in at the same time of naturalization."

"By next year, the population growth will certainly slow down significantly after the election season, but it is estimated that it will remain at an average monthly rate of 800 to 1000 because it is mainly composed of American pioneers and our employees."

"In 1787, Miami will become a big town with a resident population of 20000 and a permanent population of nearly 40000! At that time, the town council must be expanded. No matter whether Spain wins or loses the first election, it will no longer be able to control the majority..."

Carmen popped his head from behind the paper and stared at Lorraine with great excitement.

"Captain, this is the only big wave in the history of colonial development in the new world. It is a great opportunity for us to invest and cash out!"

She stood up with a whoosh.

"Before Christmas, all the on-the-job personnel of the asset management company will be on duty, and the part-time personnel will no longer accept the call of the main department! You should support me!"

Lorraine froze.

Carmen, who saw the business opportunity, was too scary. It was not like going to do business at all. It was more like going to war and big war.

He touched his nose and looked weak: "what... The full-time employees of the asset management company don't say, many part-time employees hold important positions in various departments..."

"Anyway, you don't have any big action plans recently! And a round of ordinary land sales or a business opportunity comparable to New Orleans is worth shelving for this time, even if there are big actions!"

"Er... I'll say hello to all departments..."

"I'll move back today!" the perfect lady was full of heroism. "From now on, it's the flagship!"
