Chapter 911： Immigration company (on)

The cold wave in January has passed, and the weather in February gradually began to pick up. But Marin, sitting in front of the window of the office, looked at the dead branches spitting out of the window and worried.

why? This starts with the first census in Beihai. Now, the land area of ​​Beihai is quite large. The East Frisian Lambert and Gävle regions add up to about 4,000 square kilometers, and Oldenburg is almost 4,000 square kilometers. West Friesland is about 5,000 square kilometers, and Münster combined 10,000 square kilometers. Osnabrück also has more than 2,200 square kilometers, in the province of Bremen, about 5800. The combined counties of Schleswig and Dietmarschen are more than 10,000 square kilometers (Schleswig 9200, Dietmarschen 1400). The newly acquired Ruhr area also exceeds 4,000 square kilometers. Counting more than 20,000 square kilometers in Jutland ...

Lin Lin finally calculated that the land area of ​​Beihai has exceeded 65,000 square kilometers. Although the 5,000 square kilometers of South Münster and 1,400 square kilometers of Det Marshen County are temporarily out of jurisdiction, the area under the control of Marin is also close to 50,000 square kilometers. This area is much larger than the Netherlands in later generations.

However, the population of the Beihai country, after the census, made Marin very disappointed ...

According to official statistics, the data obtained are-East Friesland has a population of 350,000, and West Friesland has a population of 180,000 (previously more than 200,000, but after several wars, tens of thousands of people have been sharply reduced). There are only 80,000 people in Oldenburg, and more than 100,000 in Bremen. The Principality of Schleswig is 150,000, and in the large province of Jutland, there are only 250,000. North Münster is also sparsely populated, with just over 50,000 people. In Osnabrück, there are only 20,000 people, and when combined with the North Münster area, it is about 70,000. The population of the Ruhr area is about 200,000. As for the South Münster area, although it has a population of more than 200,000, it has not been included in the management of Marin. Similarly, Dietmarschen ’s population of 20,000 is also autonomous.

Calculated in this way, the population under Marin's control is actually only 1.38 million people. Of course, land replacement in the Ruhr area is in progress. According to the contract, the nobles on the land will be replaced and the 30,000 people will be taken away. They are all their men and serfs. In other words, the population ultimately controlled by Marin is about 1.35 million.

This seems to be quite a lot, because in this era, the German princes with a population of more than one million may have only the Habsburg family territory and the Agalon family territory (including Bohemia and Silesia, but the population is as large as The 4 million Kingdom of Hungary does not belong to Shinra, not counting). The Habsburg family alone is the territory of the Netherlands, with a total population of about 950,000, and hundreds of thousands in Austria. It is precisely because the Habsburg family has a large territory and a large population that can occupy an advantage in the throne competition. The other princes need to unite to suppress the Habsburgs.

The emergence of Marin made the princes more frightened-the Habsburg family was already very powerful, and then a powerful North Sea country ... So, they did not hesitate to unite and force the North Sea country and Habs The Fort family broke up. Otherwise, Germany will definitely change ...

Of course, this is compared with the little vassals in the German region. If you compare it with later generations, that's really nothing. In later generations of the Netherlands, a land of 41,000 square kilometers has a population of 17 million. If it is compared with the later generations of China, it will be even more incomparable-a prefecture-level city in the former homeland of Marin, with an area of ​​more than 6,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 5 million ...

Of course, the later generations of China cannot be compared. The consequence of such a dense population is that farmers only have a few acres of arable land per family, and the land is not divided enough.

But for Marin, the problem is indeed not enough labor ...

If according to the standards of the German princes, Marin's strength has surpassed any of the seven electors except the Kingdom of Bohemia.

However, Marin is different. He has a huge American continent that needs colonization. Therefore, the population of 1.35 million is just drizzle.

How to say, the population of 1.35 million in the North Sea Country, even if it counts the more than 200,000 people in the South Münster area and Dietmarshen County that have not yet ruled, is only 1.5 million. Zhuang Ding adds up to 300,000 to 400,000. This is still because Marin recruited young and powerful serfs, otherwise the ratio was much lower.

According to each Zhuangding and his family, up to 100 acres of land is calculated, 400,000 Zingding, up to 40 million acres. And how big is 40 million mu? After conversion, it is only 26,700 square kilometers, which is less than half of the Beihai. For North and South America with a total area of ​​42 million square kilometers, it is simply drizzle in the drizzle.

With the historical strength of the Spanish empire, the Spanish empire with a population of 8 million cannot yet take into account the development of the Americas, and can only control Mexico and Peru. said.

In fact, for Europe as a whole, the one with the most potential to develop the Americas is actually France with a population of over 15 million. It is for this reason that Marin is very afraid of France, for fear that France will grab its own territory. Because, once the French flooded into the Americas, Marin couldn't resist. At that time, the American surname German is still the surname Fa, and Marin can't control it.

Therefore, for Marin, it is urgent to expand the population. Otherwise, there is simply no way to support the colonial activities of the Americas.

You know, even Portugal, the weakest of the big countries, has a population of 3 million ...

However, the entire German region has no more than 12 million people. Even the entire Holy Roman Empire (including northern Italy) has a population of only 16 million. Malin wants to dig populations from other princely states, it seems unrealistic ... if it is not done, it will cause other princely states to unite against him ...

After all, Marin has so far introduced two or three hundred thousand people from various princes. Re-introduction, it is estimated that other princes are also in a hurry. After all, these populations did not fall from the sky, but flickered from other princes.

Now, in order to prevent Marin from wandering a large number of young and middle-aged people in their respective countries, many countries have set up checkpoints at the borders to prohibit large-scale young and middle-aged people from leaving the country. Once found, immediately arrested and repatriated.

Therefore, even if Marin hit the gold sign that "bread is enough, and still have a wife in marriage", it can be very helpless to face the official block.

"It seems that you can only use that trick ..." Marin thought silently.

So he withdrew his eyes from the window and told his servants:

"Go call Kohler!"
