Marin is in a good mood now, of course, because he didn't know that the Duke of Saxony picked his peach. Suddenly, he obtained a large area of territory, and Marin was still very happy.
In particular, the four large islands of Terschelling, Ameland, Vlieland, and Schiermonnikood have great development value.
Telshaling Island, for example, has such a large area and sufficient fresh water resources. On the Weibo flaunted by future Marin friends, Marin remembered that there were three or four villages on the island and thousands of people lived. According to Marin's estimates, the reclamation of 2,000 Ugram land on the island is not a problem at all. In other places, grazing can also be vigorously developed. On the island of Amran, the situation is also relatively good, and about 2,000 acres of cultivated land can be cultivated. As for the islands of Vlieland and Schiermonnikoo, the islands of later generations seem to have only one village each. Obviously, there is only one place for freshwater resources. Therefore, a maximum of one village will be cultivated for each of the two islands. Almost, the two islands combined will not exceed 1,000 arable land in Eugram.
Overall, about four to five thousand Eugrams can be cultivated on the four islands. In addition, other large areas of the island, although not suitable for arable land, can also be used for grazing. After all, these areas are islands and the climate is humid. Even without freshwater rivers and lakes, precipitation is abundant. Therefore, forages can grow fairly well and are more suitable for grazing.
In addition, there are suitable small fishing ports on each island. For example, West Tyrrelling on Terschelling is a famous port in later generations. The island also has a sailing school and a sailing museum.
Marin snatched more than 3,000 fishermen from the coast of Friesland, and he planned to place half in West Tyres. The rest are scattered on the other three islands.
In addition, there are more than 700 fishermen and 100 farmers on the four islands. Including the past 3,000 people of Marin immigrants, there are already more than 3,800 people.
However, most of these fishermen are fishing. Land reclamation depends on experienced farmers. For this reason, when Marin went to Württemberg to recruit troops, he also sent people back to the Ruhr area to recruit surplus serfs in his hometown.
Unlike recruiting fishermen, recruiting surplus serfs will not be hostile to local lords at all.
Why is this? Because the land is limited, the number of serfs who can feed them is also limited. When the manor's serfs had more children, the population became too large. But fishermen on the seashore are different. The sea is infinite. As long as you have a fishing boat and know how to fish, you can basically get something. Of course, this is also because of the backward fishing technology in the Middle Ages, not the ships and the modern fishing equipment as large as those of later generations. Therefore, as long as there are fishermen, there must be gains, and there must be taxes. Although, the tax was just stinky salted fish.
But don't underestimate the smelly salted fish. In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church had too much influence and rules. Catholics cannot eat meat for about 100 days each year. But everyone pouts, ca n’t we eat meat? Then eat fish maw!
So, in the case of not being allowed to eat meat for hundreds of days each year, many people buy dried fish and go back to eat on these fast days.
Therefore, the salted fish business is still very large. If salt prices were not too expensive in this era, salted fish would definitely make money. Of course, the words come back. If the price of salt drops, the price of salted fish will certainly fall. It seems unlikely to make a fortune by selling salted fish. Unless, you can get low-cost salt to pickle salted fish. At the same time, other fishermen can only use high-priced salt ...
Relying on a show, Marin soon recruited a new Phalanx with 1,250 people in Wurttemberg and Alsace. In addition, the 39 people lost in the previous Phalanx were also made up. And those who were sent to recruit serfs in their hometown in the Ruhr area also successfully recruited 2,000 people. If he wasn't afraid that the movement would be too loud and caused the dissatisfaction of the local lord, Marin would like to recruit more people.
In addition, Marin purchased 500 cattle, which were used for spring ploughing and then grazing directly on the island. It is now April and spring ploughing is almost over. Therefore, after Marin recruited people, he quickly dispatched to Terschelling, first planning to reclaim 1,000 acres of arable land. Otherwise, spring ploughing can't catch up.
In addition, 6400 civilians and 1250 fighters were suddenly added to the rule, and the food pressure in the Wadden Islands suddenly increased a lot. Marin now regrets that he sold a lot of rye to the UK, which basically caused him. Now Marin has to go to the mainland to import a lot of rye to feed the new 7,650 people.
This is seven or eight thousand people, each with a mouth, and the consumption is also very large. Fortunately, there are many fishermen, and some food can be offset by eating fish. However, many of these fishermen are so poor that they don't even have their own small fishing boats. In desperation, Marin had to allocate 20,000 gold coins to help those fishermen go to mainland port cities to buy various fishing boats. If you want to harvest, you must pay. This newly added 4,300 fishermen (including 600 fishermen snatched from Harlingen), once fully launched, can produce a large number of dried salted fish every year, dedicated to his lord ...
Marinate those salted fish for cheap enough salted fish. Marin also added a batch of salt cauldrons on Texel Island to focus on the production of "cheap" salt for fishermen.
Not only that, Marin also personally inspected the pastures on the island and found that the grasslands on several islands were mostly weeds that were not good for grazing.
For this reason, Marin sent people to various places to purchase alfalfa seeds in large quantities. After the spring ploughing was completely completed, the original wild turf was destroyed and alfalfa was planted for easy grazing.
I talked about grazing, and Marin couldn't help but burst into flames. The group of **** in Frisian, when they ransacked Texel Island, had roasted hundreds of sheep that they had smuggled out of Britain with great effort.
These sheep are all intended by Marin for breeding and expansion, so as to facilitate the development of the wool spinning industry in the future. Before Europeans grew cotton in North America, the wool textile industry had been very prosperous and profitable.
At the time, the British were still weak countries, and when they did not dominate the sea, they made money entirely from the wool textile industry. As for pirates, although they also make money, they are full of danger and very uncertain. Only the wool textile industry has brought a lot of profits to the British. In order to obtain more profits, the British even engaged in the "goat-eating" enclosure for hundreds of years.
Therefore, raising sheep and selling wool are also very profitable. Otherwise, the British will not engage in enclosure for so long ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Until the late 18th century, the rise of the cotton textile industry replaced the important position of the wool textile industry, and the enclosure movement stopped ...
The Flemish region of the Netherlands, because of its economic development, is valued by the Habsburgs, but also because it is the most developed region in Europe. There are many wool mills over there, and most of their wool was imported from Britain before. However, after Henry VII came to power, he was jealous of the profits of the wool spinning industry and ordered a ban on the export of wool. In the UK, he vigorously developed the wool spinning industry to compete with Flanders. Therefore, now that Flanders lacks wool, wool prices have soared, and raising sheep is absolutely profitable.
However, because the smuggled British sheep were eaten up by the Frisian gang, Marin had to take out a lot of funds and send someone to the UK to secretly buy woolen sheep again and smuggled back to the Wadden Islands.
Now, Marin has a large area of land. Although there is not much arable land, most of the rest of the land can be used for sheep.
The Wadden Islands (West Frisian Islands), although lonely overseas, are not small in size. 5 main islands-Texel, Terschelling, Ameland, Vlieland and Schiermonnikoos. Each island can engage in agriculture, fishing and grazing at the same time. Got economic prospects. As long as it is developed, whether it is agriculture, animal husbandry or fishery, it can bring a lot of profits to Marin.
Of course, the profits of fisheries are actually not as high as those of agriculture and animal husbandry. However, Marin's original intention was not to make money, but to train and select sailors and participate in huge profits. Thinking of the great voyage with dozens of times of profits, Marin couldn't help but drooling ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all in ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mobile users please read.
