Reborn As a Pirate

September 20, 1785.

Great Miami was built on both sides of the Bay of Biscay in less than a month, and on the day it was built, it became the most prosperous commercial town in the Florida peninsula.

The nascent town of Miami is divided into five boroughs.

Hekou District is her administrative center, with a registered population of 2,413 and a non-registered population of 537.

On the other side of the district is the barracks of the Miami Regiment of the colonial garrison, which houses a reorganized grenadier regiment of 1,400 men and 600 coastal defense artillery.

Because the barracks had not yet had time to start construction, the officers and soldiers could only live in temporary tents. The living conditions were so bad that they were not even comparable to the Indian migrant workers who lived in work sheds.

The college area is her cultural and educational center, with a registered population of 227 and a non-registered population of 962.

The University of Miami has been built for only 5 days, and has attracted more than 800 students from all over the world, and more than 300 of them have become sophomores in a hurry.

Jackdaw District is her technology center, with a registered population of 1,297 and a non-registered population of 3,351.

The Pansy Manor, the most elite wealthy area in Miami, is located on the shore of the beautiful lake and sea. Drake, who made the pirates of the Caribbean fearful, is directly under the Fleet No. 1 and Secret Service two formations to guard their white flag king. , and also set the anchorage of the headquarters here.

Miami Beach is her commercial center, with 37 plank roads, 116 large and medium-sized berths, more than 80 merchant ships entering and leaving the pier every day, and more than 100 chambers of commerce set up permanent residences on this long and narrow sand island.

This is the area with the largest population and the largest development area in Miami. Although the registered population is only 262, the non-registered permanent population has reached 5,159.

There is also the mysterious Fifth District, the planning name of the Hard Wall District, located in Virginia Island, which is further south of the South Biscay Islands, across the sea from the garrison camp.

It is planned to be built here as the headquarters of the garrison in Miami. In the future, the Second Miami Regiment and the Second Coastal Defense Battalion will be stationed after the infrastructure is complete.

In addition, there are two coastal defense forts, sixty large forts, a naval port, and a five-ship defense fleet. The composition plan is lying on the desk of the Governor's Mansion in Fort St. Just poor.

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

Full of emotion and anticipation, the mayor of Dipujani, who has only been in office for 5 days, is full of hope for the future!

At the same time, Jackdaw District, Pansy Manor.

Lorraine signed a document, took off her ring, and stamped the fresh wax.

He handed the document to Adrey: Send it to New York by the Clippers, and let President Parker arrange things as soon as possible...

yes!

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

The time at work always flies by, Lorraine finished processing the last document at hand, wrote the instructions, signed the name, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of coffee.

Hina? He looked up following the scent, and saw Carmen standing by the table with a coffee, smiling, Ah... Carmen...

The little fox narrowed his eyes and handed over the coffee: What? It's a pity why not Yesla?

It's not regrettable, it's strange. Lorraine took the coffee while making corrections, and took a sip, Cappuccino, it's freshly brewed... Did I just fall asleep? Or just passed out?

Obviously only those who devote themselves to work will be ignorant of the changes around them, my lord captain. Carmen flew across the desk like a butterfly and sat down, What are you going to do with the American branch?

Of course I'm preparing... In the middle of the sentence,

Lorraine stared wide-eyed, No, how long have you been in?

About an hour and seven minutes, when you were working on paperwork for Chuck, it didn't look right to be interrupted.

Then what?

A serious man is like the most exquisite work of art, I decided to appreciate it for a while.

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

Sightseeing? Carmen tilted her head, Sightseeing...Miami?

The landscape here is beautiful, isn't it? Lorraine is drinking coffee, the old god is there, Generally speaking, when a new colonial town is established, the colonial empire will fill the population with the fastest speed and establish the main body of the town nationality.

A loyal and belonging subject nation is the only magic weapon for ruling. They can assimilate later immigrants with culture and beliefs, control public opinion, elect parliaments, and become reliable militiamen in the face of war, helping rulers guard Towns, make the invaders pay.

That's true in Miami as well.

Assuming we're Aboriginal, the kind of powerful Native tribe that can't be enslaved. The only way Tussela wants to build a town in our habitat is to make us citizens together.

But that will create a problem. We will become the main ethnic group in Miami, not only controlling all the land in the city, but also controlling the public opinion and the council in the town, and completely turning the city hall into a convenient place to reflect our sense of governance. tool.

Tusela is a true patriot. On the premise that their own interests are guaranteed, patriots have no reason to sit back and watch things like the tentacles of the motherland being used as tools.

Lorraine stretched his waist: According to our discussion with the town council, the current interim council will only last until December 31. An election committee will be established on New Year's Day next year, and the town's 23 councilors will be assigned to the town according to the registered population. Each district shall be independently elected by the districts according to the quota.

That is to say, as long as the number of Spanish immigrants exceeds our naturalized employees and family members before January 1 next year, the Spaniards have a chance 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 Miami's development, and maybe our acquaintances among them, after all, there are 66 Spanish businessmen in the association, second only to in Great Britain.

Didn't Sir Tussela say on the day of the town celebration that I should implement the construction of the sixth town of agriculture and animal husbandry as soon as possible? Even though I analyzed to him the fatal blow of Fort Moses to the plantation economy, he still didn't change his original intention.

I guess he was already thinking about immigration at that time, and didn't care if there were a few rich plantation owners among them, just so that every Spaniard who crossed the ocean could support himself.

Speaking of this, Lorraine paused: So, how should we deal with it? Refuse?

Miami's size and geographical location doom it not to become Drake's back garden, and it is not suitable for our family to manage it like Santana. That is not conducive to the development of Miami, and we can't use so much land.

On the other hand, as long as the immigrants are not rejected, the status quo where we use the land to control the right to speak is temporary. As the population moves in, whether it is sold at a high price, sold at a low price, or given rewards, the land will always be diluted to the point where citizens In his hands, no one can stop him.

Combining these two points...

Carmen's eyes lit up all of a sudden: I see, the Caribbean Sea!

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

First, include the land and housing in Miami as a temporary incentive for the chamber of commerce, and encourage our employees to move in with their families. The chamber of commerce still has a large population capacity, at least until now, among the sailors directly under the fleet, there are less than 50 households here settle down.

Second, promote the bright future of Miami throughout the New World through the network of the American chapter. Unlike the European chapter, the American chapter has a appeal throughout the Caribbean, and they can bring us British and French, as well as Central and Southern Europe. , the pioneers of Northern Europe...

Compared to the large-scale British immigration organized by the European branch, the wave driven by the American branch and the spontaneous and scattered migration of immigrants will not easily make the sensitive Governor's Palace wary of us, but the demographic structure will also become complicated.

Once the population structure is complicated, it is difficult for the main ethnic group to be born. Even if the Spanish are still the largest ethnic group in Miami, their influence will be minimized. For Miami, this is a good thing.

Carmen frowned and took out the paper from the table, picked up a quill brush and wrote.

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

The Next Stage of the Population Curve.

She pointed to the line with the highest initial and the smallest ups and downs.

Miami has a registered population of 4,199, and Drake's employees and family members are 3,775. 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 definitely treat it as 4,200 people.

According to the most beneficial move in for them, before the establishment of the Election Commission on January 1 next year, more than 4,200 Spanish pioneers will move in, totaling 4,500, with an average of 1,500 per month.

There is also the population of migrants in the Americas. Although this is difficult to estimate, according to the influence of the Baishang Association and Drake's reputation, it can barely be applied to the gradual model, and the total estimate is 2000.

That is to say, in the next three months, Miami will usher in a naturalization peak. By the end of December, the naturalized population is likely to exceed 10,000, and most of them will move in at the same time as naturalization.

By next year, the population growth rate will definitely slow down significantly after the election season, but because it is mainly composed of American pioneers and our employees, it is estimated that it will remain at an average of 800 to 1,000 people per month.

In 1787, Miami will become a large town with a registered population of 20,000 and a permanent population of nearly 40,000! At that time, the town council must be expanded. hold the majority...

Carmen popped her head out from behind the paper, staring at Lorraine excitedly.

Captain, this is a unique big wave in the history of the colonial development of the New World, and it is a great opportunity for us to cash out our investment!

She stood up with a whoosh.

Before Christmas, all the current employees of the asset management company will be on duty, and the part-time employees will no longer be called by the main department! You have to support me!

Lorraine froze for a moment.

Carmen who saw the business opportunity was too scary. It didn't look like she was going to do business at all, it was more like going to war, a big battle.

He rubbed his nose with a weak expression on his face: Then what... not to mention the full-time jobs in asset management companies, many part-time jobs hold important positions in various departments...

Anyway, you don't have any big action plans recently! And an ordinary round of land sales or a business opportunity comparable to New Orleans, even if there is a big action, it's worth putting aside for this one!

Uh... I'll greet the various departments...

I'm going to move back today! The perfect lady was full of heroism, From now on, it's the flagship!
