Chapter 537

April 1, April Fool's day.

In 1582, France officially promulgated the Gregorian calendar proposed by the Pope, replacing the tradition of the old calendar to leave the old and welcome the new on April 1, and set January 1 as the new year's day.

However, the greatest commonness of mankind is individuality. As long as it involves reform, even if there are no supporters, there will be no shortage of opponents.

Of course, the new deal of the new calendar has been strongly opposed by some die hards, and their way to oppose the new deal is

1. Say New Year's greetings to each other on April 1.

2. Exchange New Year gifts on April 1.

3. Hold a new year's ball on April 1.

From the heart, a villain who knows how to enclose land and try not to cause trouble to others is definitely an example among villains in future generations. It is worth being set up and advertised to guide the social atmosphere to operate well.

However, the self disciplined French never tolerate any enemy from within.

Supporters of change ridiculed them on various occasions. Mean and cruel people used the trust of conservatives to give them insulting gifts, invited them to imaginary parties, and shouted "Poisson d'Avril" indiscriminately after they were fooled.

Conservatives soon became the laughing stock of the country and soon disappeared from the social circle.

The reformers achieved great success. In order to flaunt and commemorate their victory, they inherited the action of expelling political enemies like a tradition. Over time, it has evolved into an annual national gathering.

This is a traditional festival full of malice.

In Lorraine's heart, if he wants to kill all the enemies, he will only destroy his alliance, misappropriate his wealth, cut off his life and deprive his family of the hope of revenge. He will never ridicule the other party's position like those French people.

It's like this Indian War.

Lorraine needs the Indians living in Florida to become the help rather than the resistance to the development of Miami, so he will try his best to break their circle, dismantle their unity and destroy their advantages. However, no matter how many evils he has done, he will not deny the Indians' survival philosophy and attitude.

This is the bottom line and hypocrisy.

The simple but not kind Indians didn't know what kind of trap they fell into. They only knew that unconsciously, Florida, which was originally close to each other, suddenly showed a tilt in strength.

Unknowingly, East Florida began to bully others, and the war restriction order, which originally protected the tribal peace, became an accomplice to the tyrants.

Unconsciously, East Florida was at odds with whites, while West Florida did not even have the qualification to sit on the wall. It had to choose between its compatriots and whites and choose its own stand and position.

Even the process of war has developed like a dream.

A moment ago, East Florida besieged Miami. It seems that resistance can be eliminated at any time, burning this small town with only two years of history but extremely prosperous development into white land.

At the latter moment, West Florida, which has been weak, broke the Indian covenant that has been abided by for hundreds of years, and there are more and stronger white troops, fierce and fearless black legions

East Florida retreated one after another and lost all the flat and vast North Florida in the twinkling of an eye. They were forced to retreat into daze. With the full assistance of West Florida, the white people saw that they were about to win the final undisputed victory.

But the white man gave up.

He gave up the chance of a fatal blow, stopped outside daze and began to consolidate the high-quality land he had obtained.

East Florida couldn't believe what happened to it at first, because West Florida was more oppressive and aggressive after the white people left the war. Only after several careful counterattacks and temptations did they really believe that the white people really showed mercy and gave up the opportunity to destroy them

Who is the enemy?

The ministries of East Florida examined them in doubt. On the one hand, they were pressing compatriots, and on the other hand, they were complacent and conservative whites.

The East Florida United tribe was established on the fourth day when Sir tussela issued the notice of the end of the war. Only two days after its establishment, it copied the old nest of Youqi Department on the Bank of ponsela Lake in the north of dazedei, and strung its patriarch, young patriarch and Shaman on their totem pole.

The retreat of the white people did not stop the Indian War in Florida. On the contrary, the war became unprecedented bloody, but it had nothing to do with the white people.

The news was sent back to Drake's house and to Lorraine's desk. Lorraine and his partners looked at the bloody spelling of [Yuqi] on the parchment with complicated faces. They sincerely hoped that what the salesmen sent back was only a piece of Poisson d'Avril stuffed with malice

The silence was broken by Lorraine: "how is the settlement of the volunteers going?"

"The expeditionary army, the chamber of Commerce and the civil army of the community have been disbanded, and the expeditionary fleet has returned to their respective ownership. Only the fort Moses Corps has been left by Sir tussela." Katrina looked at the document. "North Florida needs a new army garrison. According to his arrangement, he plans to integrate the fort Moses corps into the regular army."

"He wants to give all the north to the blacks?"

"It should be mixed," Katrina said. "The second bomb throwing regiment of St. Augustine has not been built. Considering the area of North Florida, it is not much to put four regiments."

"It sounds like jazz has plans to build a city." Lorraine raised his voice curiously.

"The plan is a plan, but he can't spare a budget in a short time. The best he can do is to build a military fortress with wood to boost the confidence of investors." Carmen yawned in boredom.

"Plantation investment?"

"North Florida will definitely be dominated by plantations. However, I heard that the jazz has found a silver mine and an iron mine from the Indian records, and I intend to let the mining companies eat them all."

Lorraine thought for a moment and nodded: "let the wholly-owned chamber of commerce with Spanish background talk about it and transfer it to Drake's name in three to five years. We did too much in Miami and forced the jazz to go on strike. I can feel that the Jazz are on guard against us."

"I'll take care of it."

Karen knocked on the document in front of him: "in terms of payment for goods, the asset management company has completed the distribution of special war funds, and the money is not enough."

"Carmen asked us for advice. Considering the emotions of other associated press members, chuck Parker and I took the initiative to reduce our share."

"Of the 1.5 million pounds earmarked for the war, the maritime group only had 680000, the American Chapter 220000 and the direct fleet 160000, and the rest was distributed to other chambers of Commerce in proportion."

"We are now the largest creditor of Miami City Hall, with a total debt of 830000 pounds, which sounds like a good savings. But because you generously decided not to roll profits and didn't ask the city hall for tax exemption, our actual profit margin is not high. Carmen told me that even if you ignore the inflation in the next 10 years, the total profit margin of this production will be only 17% at most."

Karen's rare haggling scared Lorraine into a daze.

He sighed from his heart: "Karen, really, you are more like a businessman now than ever..."

The Germanic man's face turned red and his mouth was open for a long time.

"This is an ugly war. I can't think of anything worth pursuing except money..."

The scars everyone avoided were still bloody uncovered

Lorraine raised his eyebrows: "if you make money, you will always make a lot of money. Because the surrounding threats have been eradicated, the land price in Miami has doubled several times. Just around the Gulf of Mexico, our land value has been comparable to that of New Orleans, and the vitality of the town is much higher than that of New Orleans."

"As for whether this is an ugly war..." Lorraine glanced at Karen. "I suddenly had an idea."

"An idea?"

"Carmen, according to the profit budget of the business, allocate a sum of money to Karen to establish the Indian labor company."

"Ah?"

Carmen was puzzled, Karen was puzzled, and everyone present was puzzled.

The Indian War provoked by Drake slipped into the bloody abyss step by step, which really made their conscience uncomfortable, but they were privateers, not saints in the Bible. They have done nothing wrong before, and now there is no need to atone for their actions.

Why did Lorraine suddenly feel soft?

Facing everyone's doubts, Lorraine shrugged helplessly: "don't understand?"

Everyone nodded together.

"Carmen, how long did the Miami Project stop?"

"Because of the shortage of labor, less than 10% barely maintained the construction..."

"This is the reason for redemption." Lorraine said with a smile. "In North America, the biggest defect of whites is the lack of manpower. Miami immigrants have a good momentum, but now they are only more than 10000. By the end of the year, they will barely exceed 20000."

"There are 20000 residents and 30000 temporary residents, and the idle labor force that can be provided will not exceed 2000, which means that we can't rely on white people to complete our planning progress."

"We can respect the Indians' choice of killing each other. We don't have to be evil. We just started and it was them who made the decision from beginning to end."

Lorraine laid his palm flat on the table.

"They have the right to squander their lives and future, but my friends, they have no right to let Miami bury them with prosperity. We need to correct their mistakes."

Rao Shi Carmen was also confused by Lorraine's bandit theory. She stammered her language and tried her best to express her thoughts accurately.

"I think... I think war is the top priority of those tribes now. Even if we give a high price, they don't want to provide us with young people..."

"Of course, they don't want to provide the young and middle-aged of their tribe, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are of no value to us. However, the war in dazhedi is very fierce, and they don't only hold young people who are willing to fight for them."

Lorraine stood up and habitually paced around thinking, perfecting the light in her heart.

"Set up an Indian labor company, with Miskito as the shareholder, recruit those naturalized Seminoles to do business, go deep into the tribes in dazhedi, and exchange materials for young and complete prisoners of war and slaves."

"When those prisoners of war and slaves arrive in Miami, they will immediately cancel their slavery, sign self redemption contracts with them, and use their freedom to buy their labor. The tradition of abolishing slavery in Florida has lasted for more than 50 years. We do this to cater to the mainstream civilization, and no one will regard us as heresy."

"In this way, we can buy enough labor at a low price."

"Our salesmen saw the bitter war and saved their compatriots, which helped them to re understand their happy life. The new labor force experienced the bitter war and got our salvation with hatred for their compatriots. They will only be grateful to us, Dade."

"By the way, we can also allow them to redeem their families by name, and the cost is included in their self redemption contract."

"The concept of home helps to further enhance their loyalty to Miami. Even if we don't use the price of children and old, it's a profitable business."

"And......... Registered residence!" Lorraine flapped his head. "Only after the siege war, can the people of Miami not be vigilant against the serinuel. If they accept a large number of naturalization in a short time, they will be unstable to the stability of the town, and the result of the same white people will not be too far away."

"The terminus of the terminus who has completed the remission period does not enjoy the benefits of immigrants, so that they can work for us comfortably, and want to own registered residence. They must purchase the property rights of Miami by their ability and savings."

"Basically, this is my idea of the labor company. The details need to be further studied, but in principle, it is to clearly price the prisoners of war."

"We buy labor, use labor to accelerate the construction of Miami, and use labor to attract industry. Industrial production can stimulate port trade, which can attract immigrants, prosper cities and towns, enhance the overall value of Miami, and build a closed loop conducive to our sound development."

"Poisson d'Avril, even the proposal of April Fool's day doesn't have to be stupid." Lorraine looked at Karen proudly. "It's up to you now, Karen. Are you willing to squeeze the last value of the Seminoles?"

"I will!" Karen stood up and said solemnly, "to be more precise, I will not give in."
