The total population of Beihai is just over 2 million, but the local area alone exceeds 100,000 square kilometers, and most of them are plains. So, let alone the surplus labor, the people who cultivate the land are not enough. Now that food prices are so high, Marin is reluctant to liberate his precious population from the land.
Therefore, those who want to engage in infrastructure, mining, transportation and industry can only rely heavily on migrant workers. However, because of the problem of political standing, Marin ’s Beihai State is hostile to most German states. Do n’t think of getting a large population from other German states. Therefore, Marin can only invest the way to obtain migrant workers elsewhere.
The first is Italy. Although there are many mountains in Italy, there is not enough cultivated land. However, the population is large. Do not look at the area of cultivated land is far less than the German area, but there are many people sincerely. The entire Italian region has a population of about 11 million, almost catching up to 1,200 people in Germany. A kingdom of Naples alone has a population of 2 million.
Because most of the Italian states do not incorporate the internal affairs of the Holy Roman Empire (only a few of the northern states such as the Principality of Milan have incorporated the Shinra), most Italians do not care about the internal team of the Shinra Beihai, hostile to Marin. Therefore, it is still easy for Beihai to go to Italy to recruit migrant workers.
It's just that the Italians who had looked down on the cowardly Italian before hadn't thought about the Italian population. But now it is different. Marin does not want Italians to immigrate to Germany, but just wants to obtain labor and accelerate the construction of the North Sea country. Well, it does n’t matter whether the Italians are cowardly or not. Anyway, just looking for someone to work.
Moreover, Italian migrant workers are more convenient to go to the North Sea country, which is more convenient than going to the North Sea country in southern Germany. Marin only needs to send a boat to various ports in the Italian peninsula to successfully bring the migrant workers back to the homeland.
As for the question of whether the lords of the Italian state prevented him from recruiting migrant workers, that is even less of a problem. Those lords will never be embarrassed as long as they provide some benefits.
Italy and China are very similar to Fujian, with many mountains and few plains. Why do Fujian and Guangdong have so many Hakka immigrants overseas? Isn't it because there is less cultivated land, so there is no way to stay in your hometown? Can only go to the field to find food, and even go out to beg for life.
The same is true in Italy, except for a few plains such as the Milan Plain in the north, most of the rest are mountainous. The local area is similar to Fujian, and there are more people and less people. Therefore, the Italians had to find another way. For example, go abroad to do business and engage in nautical or something. Otherwise, by virtue of the mountains of Italy, it is certain that they will not be able to feed so many people.
But not every Italian can do business, or rather, do business with capital. Most Italian landless people still work for a small number of wealthy businessmen. Moreover, jobs are not necessarily enough.
Just like the Republic of Venice, the area is quite large, but the total number of Venice nationals does not exceed 200,000, which is the relatively small population among the Italian states. But Venice has more than 3,000 merchant ships across the Mediterranean Sea, with a total of more than 40,000 sailors. According to the normal algorithm, the family of more than 40,000 sailors exceeds 200,000. But the Venetians cannot be all sailors, and many others are craftsmen. Therefore, most of the sailors who served the merchant ships of Venice were hired by Venice from the Italian states.
After remembering the immense role of future generations of migrant workers, Marin decided to send people to Italy to recruit migrant workers and work as builders, porters and sailors in the North Sea.
As for the dangerous mining industry, after thinking about it, Marin decided to go to France and try to see if he could recruit a Frenchman to mine for him.
In fact, it is better to go to France to recruit migrant workers than to Italy. After all, the Italian population is only 11 million, while the French population is 15 million.
But the problem is that France is not friendly to the North Sea countries. Recruiting migrant workers in France may be difficult and hindered. Moreover, in the future, the Beihai State will build a lot of houses and roads, and it will definitely use a lot of cement. Recruiting migrant workers from France as construction workers will inevitably expose French migrant workers to sensitive materials such as cement. When the time comes, the French will add some spies and may steal the secrets.
The Italian state is different, the Italian state is not hostile to Marin, and the Italians are not as fond of stealing the secrets of others as France. Therefore, using Italians as construction workers makes Marin more at ease.
However, it is no problem to hand over the mining work to the French. After all, mining does not touch too much sensitive materials such as cement. Let French migrant workers stay underground for mining all day, and they can't find any secrets.
As for the use of advanced technologies such as steam engines and rails in the mine, Marin is not afraid of being learned by the French. Why? Even if the French have learned this, there is no domestic mine to dig!
Speaking of it, the French are also sad. The big France has no mineral resources. Of course, from the perspective of future generations, French mineral resources are not bad. The reserves of high-value mineral resources such as bauxite and uranium are still abundant. But the problem is that in this era, neither bauxite or uranium is of any use value. The Lorraine iron ore, which is very important to the French in later generations, still belongs to the principality of Lorraine in Shenluo, and has nothing to do with the French.
As for coal mines, it is also very scarce. This also forced the French to find another way and concentrate on nuclear and hydropower. There is no way. If you want to engage in thermal power, you must have enough coal ...
That is to say, in France, lack of coal and iron, even if they learn the mining techniques of traps, there is no mine to mine. Therefore, Marin tends to go to France to find miners.
And if enough miners are obtained from France, Marin can hit the idea of the more than 30,000 coal miners in the Ruhr area ...
Coal miners! That was the best choice for Qi Qishuai to pick troops. The well-known Qi Jiajun started with 4000 miners in Yiwu!
As long as more than 30,000 coal miners can be freed, Marin will surely be able to select thousands of soldiers from these people! After all, people who are mining all day long must have stronger arm strength than ordinary farmers, and they are more suitable for cold weapons.
Moreover, if the French dig a coal mine, even if there is a gas explosion accident in the coal mine, the French are also dead, not the residents of the country, and Marin will not be distressed. Big deal, lose money. But compared to human life, that little money is really nothing.
Not only that, Marin also played out the compensation for the miners who died underground ...
According to the current regulations of the Beihai State, the relevant personnel who have accidents in the mine generally receive a compensation of 10 gold coins at home. Although it is incomparable with the compensation standards of future generations, it is less than a person's salary for one year. However, in this era, Malinken's compensation has been considered very conscience. You should know that many mercenary generals in this era did not directly swallow the commissions and compensations of the dead.
Moreover, for the miners in distress, Marin's compensation is not all the same. In addition to those 10 gold coins, there is land compensation-compensation for 10 acres of land!
However, it is not the native 10 acres of cultivated land, but the 10 acres of the American colony!
In this way, if a miner recruited from France dies in a mining accident, his family will not only receive a compensation of 10 gold coins, but also a compensation of 10 acres of cultivated land.
There is a lot of content here. If the families of the victims accepted the 10 acres, it would mean immigration to the Americas. The Americas are Marin's territory. Immigration to the Americas is equivalent to becoming Marin's people and labor.
Therefore, this compensation is also a hidden means of soliciting immigrants. If you want to cash in this 10 acres, you have to immigrate to America and become a labor force driven by Marin. For a poor French family who is so poor that it can only make the family strong enough to dig coal, 10 acres of arable land is absolutely attractive. After all, it is 60 acres!
There are so many people in France. Of the 15 million people, there are always many poor families. At least, it is no problem for Marin to recruit tens of thousands of miners.
As for the question that the French might block, Marin also came up with a killer skill-to pay taxes actively!
For example, every time a miner is recruited in France, he voluntarily pays 1 gold coin to the French government for the export of labor services and pays it every year.
In other words, if 50,000 miners in France mine in the North Sea, the French imperial court can receive a 50,000-dollar "labor export tax" every year. This is a pie falling from the sky. Not only did you get more money, but you could also solve the work problem of 50,000 poor people.
Similarly, against the Italian state, Marin also decided to throw money. As long as En can recruit hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, Marin doesn't care about dropping hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. You know, the wealth that hundreds of thousands of migrant workers can create for Marin is definitely more than that, at least millions of gold coins.
For the sake of gold coins, let alone the lords of the Italian states, who are hostile to the French in the North Sea, I am afraid it is difficult to refuse. Besides, these migrant workers are not immigrants to the North Sea country, they just go abroad for labor services, and they can still generate a lot of taxes every year. Why not do it?
But they didn't know that Marin also planted another foreshadowing-during the period when those foreign migrant workers worked in Beihai, they would definitely lure their family to immigrate to Beihai. Even if it cannot be fully recruited, and it can attract some people to immigrate, it will be cost-effective.
Moreover, the use of land as compensation and compensation for the miners in distress is also a potential means of attracting French immigrants, but they are all relatively hidden.
What's more, even if the salaries are paid to French migrant workers, Marin will not cost much ...
According to the salary level of workers in the North Sea country, Marin intends to pay migrant workers 2 fenny a day, plus food, housing, and work clothes ...
The salary doesn't seem to be high, but it's a great package. After all, European food prices are extremely expensive in this era. The daily salary of 2 Finney is only enough to buy two pounds of rye, not enough for the family to eat. Therefore, in addition to the people of the North Sea country, the bread eaten by civilians in other European countries in this era was mixed with a lot of wild vegetables, wood chips and even dirt, in order to make up the amount of food for the family. In general, half of the bread is flour, which is not bad.
And the migrant workers pack and eat, and provide work clothes, which means that they do not need any expenses, and can save most of the money and bring it back. This is great. 2 Finneys per day, at least 720 Finneys a year (will take a few days off, let the workers go back to Christmas and New Year, and at the same time, take the wages home). 720 Finney is 12 gold coins!
Do n’t look at how ordinary people can earn so much money a year, but because European food prices are so expensive, even if they can earn 12 gold coins a year, after the family ’s expenditure on eating and drinking Lhasa is removed, most people do n’t have much money at all. Even, many poor people have worked hard all their lives and have never seen any gold coins.
And being a migrant worker in Beihai can save almost half of the wages and take it home every year, which will definitely make the family a lot easier. At least, we can get rid of poverty.
In fact, within Beihai, the current salary of miners is actually 3 Finney per day. After all, miners are more dangerous occupations, no high salary, no one is willing to work.
But Marin deliberately gave migrant workers 2 Finney an ordinary daily salary. Want to get the same salary as the local miners in the North Sea, that is, the salary is increased by half? Yes, immigration! With the Beihai National Green Card, the salary immediately went up by half!
People in this era don't have any national beliefs, so they have to raise their wages by half, and there will be many migrant workers who want to emigrate. In this way, the population of the North Sea State can soar.
In short, as long as the money is enough, countries with bad relations will also allow him to introduce migrant workers. For money, those migrant workers can easily emigrate for the same high salary as locals and increase the population of Beihai.
The most evil thing is that when paying the salary of French migrant workers, Marin can also use the fake nickel nickel silver coin that was cast out to pay the wages. In this way, a lot of expenses can be saved.
The cost of nickel-copper-copper and real silver coins are very different, which is equivalent to Marin's very low cost, and he hires a lot of French labor to help himself make money. Moreover, it is still the most dangerous mining work.
Thinking of the low cost of hiring French migrant workers, UU read www. uukanshu.com Marin suddenly thought about whether to hire tens of thousands of French migrant workers to help them dig the canal ...
In the era when there were no excavators, the excavation of the canal could only rely on manpower, the cost was very high, and the progress of the project was very slow. Although Marin can use the leisure time of the farm to levy farmers to dig. However, once the farming began, these people could only withdraw and delay the project.
If you can hire tens of thousands of French migrant workers to dig canals and dig irrigation canals in the North Sea country for a long time, it will be of great benefit to the North Sea country. Not to mention the benefits for the agriculture and transportation industry, the fact that it is possible to use fake French "silver coins" to pay wages can save Marin a lot of costs.
After making up his mind, Marin immediately sent someone to form a labor service company. Then, they were sent to Italy and France respectively, to approach the local government to discuss the recruitment of migrant workers.
Marin believes that as long as the "money ability" is offered, no one can refuse in front of the gold coins! Especially in this era, there are many nobles with debts. As long as the money is given, some are nobles who are willing to cooperate. Even the French are hard to refuse. After all, every migrant worker earns 1 gold coin per year, even the king of the country should be tempted. If you send 200,000 migrant workers to Beihai, you will get 200,000 gold coins in tax every year ...
