Reborn As a Pirate

Being a Pirate on Your Birthday ()!

April 1st, April Fool's Day.

In 1582, France officially promulgated the Gregorian calendar proposed by the Pope of Rome, which replaced the old tradition of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new on April 1, and set January 1 as New Year's Day.

However, the greatest commonality of human beings is individuality. As long as reform is involved, even if there are no supporters, there will certainly be no shortage of opponents.

The New Calendar New Deal has of course been strongly opposed by some diehards, and their method of opposing the New Deal is...

1. Exchange New Year greetings on April 1st.

2. Exchange New Year gifts on April 1st.

3. Hold a New Year's Ball on April 1st.

In all fairness, a villain like this who knows how to enclose himself and strives not to cause trouble for others will definitely be a role model among villains in future generations.

However, the self-disciplined French never tolerated any enemies from within.

Those who support change taunt them on various occasions, mean and cruel people use the trust of conservatives to send them insulting gifts, invite them to non-existent parties, and shout Poisson D'Avril indiscriminately after they are cheated. (April's Fool).

Conservatives quickly became the laughingstock of the country and disappeared from social circles soon after.

The reformists achieved great success. In order to flaunt and commemorate their victory, they passed down the action of expelling political enemies like a tradition. Over time, it evolved into the current annual national party.

This is a traditional festival full of malice.

In Lorraine's heart, if he wants to kill the enemy, he will only destroy his alliance, embezzle his wealth, cut off his life, and deprive his family of the hope of revenge. He will never mock without limit like those French people the opponent's position.

Like this Indian War.

Lorraine needs the Indians living in Florida to be a help to Miami's development rather than a hindrance, so he will do everything possible to break their circle, dismantle their unity, and destroy their advantages, but no matter how many sins he makes, he will not go Deny the Indians' past survival philosophy and attitude.

Here's the bottom line,

Also hypocrisy.

The simple but unkind Indians didn't know what kind of trap they fell into. They only knew that Florida, which was originally evenly matched, suddenly had a tilt in strength.

Unknowingly again, East Florida began to bully others, and the war limit order that originally protected the peace of the tribe became an accomplice to help the tyrant.

Still unknowingly, East Florida was at odds with the whites all of a sudden, while West Florida didn't even have the qualifications to sit on the sidelines. It had to choose between its compatriots and the whites, and choose its own team and position.

Even the course of the war developed like a dream.

Just a moment ago, East Florida was besieging Miami, and it seemed that the resistance could be wiped out at any time, and this small city that was only two years old but had developed extremely prosperously was burned to nothing.

At the next moment, West Florida, which had been weak all along, broke the covenant that Indians had kept for hundreds of years, and there were more and stronger white troops, and the fearless black army...

East Florida retreated steadily, and the flat and vast North Florida was lost in a blink of an eye. They were forced to retreat into the big swamp. With the full assistance of West Florida, the whites were about to win the final undisputed victory.

White people, however, gave up.

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

At first, East Florida couldn't believe what happened to it, because West Florida was more oppressed and aggressive after the whites left the war. It wasn't until several careful counterattacks and temptations that they were truly convinced that the white people had really shown mercy and gave up the chance to destroy them...

Who is the enemy?

The various tribes in East Florida looked at each other in doubt. On the one hand, there were compatriots who were pressing every step of the way, and on the other hand, there were complacent and conservative white people.

The East Florida United Tribe announced its establishment on the fourth day after Sir Tussela issued the cessation of war announcement. Only two days after its establishment, it copied the old nest of the Uki Tribe on the shore of Poncela Lake in the north of the Great Zeland, and took its chief and young chief And shamans are on their totem pole.

The retreat of the whites did not stop the Indian war in Florida. On the contrary, the war became bloodier than ever before, but it no longer had anything to do with the whites.

The news was sent back to Drake's house and to Lorraine's desk. Lorraine and his partners looked at the blood-stained handwriting of [Yuqi] on the parchment with complex expressions, and sincerely hoped that what the salesmen sent back was just A Poisson D'Avril stuffed with malice...

The silence was broken by Lorraine: How is the settlement of the Volunteer Army going?

The expeditionary army, the chamber of commerce, and the militia in the community have been disbanded, and the expeditionary fleet has returned to their respective positions. Only the Fort Moses Legion was left behind by Sir Tussela. Katerina flipped through the documents, North Florida needs a new The troops stationed, depending on his arrangement, intends to formalize the Fort Moses Legion.

He wants to give the whole North to the Negroes?

It should be a mixed formation. Katerina said, The Second Bombardment Regiment of Fort St. Augustine has not been established. Considering the size of North Florida, the strength of four regiments is not too much.

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

It's a plan, but he can't spare the budget in a short time. The most he can do is build a military fort with wood to boost investors' confidence. Carmen yawned bored.

Plantation investment?

North Florida will definitely be dominated by plantations. But I heard that the Sir has found a silver mine and an iron mine from the records of the Indians. I plan to let the mining company eat them all.

Lorraine thought for a while and nodded: Let the wholly-owned chamber of commerce with a Spanish background discuss it, and then transfer it to Drake's name in three to five years. We did it too ostentatiously in Miami, and forced the Jazz to strike. I It felt like the Jazz were wary of us.

I'll take care of it.

Karen tapped the document in front of him: In terms of payment, the asset management company has already completed the distribution of the special war fund, and the money is not enough.

Carmen asked us for advice. Considering the emotions of other members of the association, Chuck Parker and I took the initiative to reduce our share.

1.5 million pounds of war funds, the maritime group only needs 680,000, the American branch 220,000, the direct fleet 160,000, and the rest is distributed to other chambers of commerce in proportion.

We are now the biggest creditors to Miami City Hall, with a total debt of 830,000 pounds, which sounds like a good savings. But because you have generously decided not to roll over interest, and did not ask City Hall to exempt, our actual profit margin But it’s not high. Carmen told me that even ignoring inflation in the next 10 years, the total profit margin of this production is only 17% at most.”

Karen's rare haggling made Lorraine stunned.

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

The face of the big Germanic man turned red, and he opened his mouth for a long time.

It's an ugly war, and I can't think of anything worth pursuing other than money...

The scars that 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. As far as the Gulf of Mexico is concerned, the value of our land is already comparable to that of New Orleans. , and the town’s vitality is much higher than that of New Orleans.”

As for whether this is an ugly war... Lorraine glanced at Karen, I suddenly had a thought.

A thought?

Carmen, according to the profit budget of this business, allocate a sum of money to Keren to establish an Indian labor company.

Eh?

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

The bloody abyss of the Indian war started by Drake did make their conscience uncomfortable, but they were privateers, not saints recorded in the Bible. They have done nothing wrong before and have no need to atone for their actions now.

Why did Lorraine soften all of a sudden?

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

Everyone nodded in unison.

Carmen, how long has the Miami project stopped?

Because of the shortage of labor, less than 10% are barely able to maintain the start of work...

This is the reason for redemption. Lorraine said with a smile, In the North American continent, the biggest shortcoming of white people is the lack of manpower. The momentum of immigration in Miami is very good, but now there are only more than 10,000 registered residents. By the end of the year, it will probably barely exceed Twenty thousand people.

With 20,000 permanent residents and 30,000 temporary residents, the idle labor force that can be provided will not exceed 2,000. This means that we cannot rely on white people to complete our planning progress.

We can respect the choice of Indians to kill each other. We don't have to be guilty. We are just beginning. They are the ones who make the decision from beginning to end.

Lorraine put her palms flat on the table.

They have the right to squander their lives and their futures, but my friends, they don't have the right to have Miami buried with them in prosperity, and we need to right them.

Rao even Carmen was also confused by Lorraine's robber theory. She stammered and sorted out her language, trying her best to express her thoughts accurately.

I think... I think war is the top priority of those tribes now, even if we pay a high price, they are unwilling to provide us with young adults...

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

Lorraine stood up, habitually pacing and thinking in circles, perfecting a flash of inspiration in his heart.

Establish an Indian labor company, with the Miskitos as shareholders, recruit those naturalized Seminoles to do business, go deep into the tribes of the Great Swamp, and exchange materials for those young and complete prisoners of war and slaves.

When the prisoners of war and slaves arrive in Miami, we will release their slave status immediately, sign a self-redemption contract with them, and use their freedom to buy their labor. The tradition of abolition of slavery in Florida has lasted for more than 50 years. We do this to cater to mainstream civilization. , no one will see us as heretics.

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

Our salesmen saw the tragic war and saved their compatriots, which helped them to re-understand their happy life. The new laborers experienced the tragic war, hated their compatriots, and got Our redemption will only be grateful to us.

That's right! We can also allow them to name and redeem their family members, and the cost will be included in their self-redemption contract.

The concept of home helps further their loyalty to Miami, and even if we don't play tricks on the old and young prices, it's a lucrative business.

And... and... household registration! Lorraine slapped his head, It's only after the siege war, it's impossible for the people of Miami to be wary of the Seminole people, accepting a large number of naturalizations in a short period of time will have a negative impact on the stability of the town Bad, and the result of being treated equally with white people is not too far behind.

The Seminoles who have completed the redemption period do not enjoy immigration benefits. Let them work for us with peace of mind. If they want to have a household registration, they must use their own ability and savings to purchase real estate rights in Miami.

In general, this is my idea for the labor company. The details need to be further refined, but in principle, it is to clearly mark the price for prisoners of war.

We buy labor, use labor to accelerate the construction of Miami, and use labor to attract industries to settle in. Industrial production can stimulate port trade, port trade can attract immigrants, prosper towns, enhance the overall value of Miami, and construct a closed loop that is conducive to our healthy development .”

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

I am willing! Karen stood up and said solemnly, To be more precise, I do my part.
