Chapter 412 The Governor Who Shows Off

Also announced is the recruitment of workers for the Newfoundland Timber Industry Consortium. As a collective enterprise serving Newfoundland, of course it needs to be managed by local Newfoundland residents.

Mainly accounting management, which is also necessary to reserve some talents for future tax havens.

As for the establishment of a collective enterprise, anyone who opposes it is considered unreliable in the eyes of Alan Wilson.

Don’t the doubters know that the vigorous nationalization movement in Britain is almost complete? The great Prime Minister Attlee pointed out, "We must combine the advantages of capitalism and socialism, and have the British socialist road..."

Prime Minister Attlee announced a few days ago that the UK has successfully established a welfare system covering all the people and has officially become a welfare state.

Prime Minister Attlee also used money to purchase private enterprises for nationalization. Alan Wilson faced a much simpler environment. He directly established a collective enterprise to show that he responded to the policies of the Labor government in London. What was the problem with this?

How dare you question Prime Minister Attlee's policies? As a speaker of British Newfoundland, Alan Wilson now feels that those who have doubts about this are potential anti-British elements who want to separate British Newfoundland and the United Kingdom. Native relations.

Moreover, the fishing moratorium in Newfoundland is about to pass, and Newfoundland does not have the manpower to harvest wood products. Once the fishing moratorium passes, Newfoundland fishermen will go to sea and start fishing.

Newfoundland fishermen fish the old-fashioned way: larger boats carry several smaller boats farther offshore and unload the boats. There were two or three fishermen in each boat. Several small boats spread their nets nearby to catch fish.

When the small boat is fully loaded, it sails back to the big ship, unloads the seafood in the hold, and then continues the net-casting operation. Typically, each boat makes two or three round trips per day. After dinner, the fishermen will pickle and preserve the fresh fish caught that day on the big boat. A few days later, the ship returned fully loaded.

Currently, Newfoundland fishermen do not fish all year round, and the rich resources of Newfoundland fisheries can also support Newfoundland fishermen's regular fishing moratoriums, but once fishermen have had enough rest, they still have to go to sea.

After all, fishermen are not workers or state civil servants. In comparison, their lives are still very difficult.

The houses in fishing villages are almost always two-story, but they are not villas for enjoyment. Generally, the downstairs is a storage room for storing fishing gear, and fishing boats are placed outside the building. The upstairs is where people live. bedroom.

In fact, the life of Newfoundland fishermen is very similar to the life of many people in high latitudes. It can be regarded as half a year of work and half a year of rest. Many farmers in high latitudes spend half a year making money, and then use half a year's accumulation to maintain their lives after the climate turns cold.

"Maybe you Chinese workers need to make some adjustments in what you eat." Alan Wilson said to Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu, "I believe you also know the situation here. Newfoundland is an island, and the meat here is The food is mainly all kinds of fish, and of course crabs. As for the price of pork and beef, it is much more expensive than fish. Due to this restriction, I hope you like to eat fish."

"Master Zhongtang, as long as we can ensure that we are not hungry, we don't have any requirements for what we eat." Su Yang assured, patting his chest, "As for the work, it's up to us."

"I believe this!" Alan Wilson nodded. Maybe this is also an advantage of recruiting Chinese workers. Considering that the population was similar to that of British India,

Maybe a little more, but there must have been a lot of hunger in my life experience.

Compared with the Chinese born in Malaya, these Chinese workers who were sent to Malaya can be said to be very contented.

In addition to cod, the Newfoundland fishery also has a large amount of Arctic shrimp and crabs. In later generations, the cod resources of the Newfoundland fishery were exhausted without fishing, and they relied on Arctic shrimp and crabs to survive.

There are few natural fisheries in the world such as the Newfoundland fisheries. Currently, many meat products are still very primitive and are in the cultivation stage.

To give you the simplest example, in China at this time, almost all pigs in China were black-skinned pigs. In many old black and white movies, there are scenes of black pigs in rural areas.

The white pigs that people commonly see in the 21st century actually originate from breeds bred in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Denmark. Faster growth and higher feed conversion rate have eliminated China’s local black pigs.

Even now in 1948, many crops are very different from those of later generations, and the yields are incomparable.

As the saying goes, relying on mountains and rivers can only make these Chinese workers change their tastes and develop the habit of eating fish as much as possible. Arctic shrimps and crabs are enough. As for land livestock, they can only be avoided if possible.

After traveling across the ocean for nearly two months, Alan Wilson understands the hardships of these workers who have arrived in China, but he still has to remind you of his responsibilities, "As for your physical needs, I can't solve them. If you really can't bear it, you can take less than one day." In a year's time, deal with it with your hands. When you go back, you will have a house and land, and you can decide how many you want to marry."

According to the Qing laws of British Malaya, it was not illegal to marry more women. This was a respect for tradition.

He really has no way to solve this problem, and he does not dare to advocate such nonsense as racial integration. As long as he dared to mention it, British Newfoundland would become independent immediately.

Even the United States in later generations was a negative example that was ridiculed in the eyes of Alan Wilson. How could he do similar things? Although yellow and black people are different, the problem is the same.

"If you have any questions, please communicate with me directly." Corporal Alan Wilson said very courteously. "If there is any cultural gap with the local residents, I can explain it on your behalf. As long as we can live in peace, I believe everyone can return with gains." Come to Malaya and live a good life of your own.”

"With Master Zhongtang's words, we people can feel relieved. It's amazing how vast the territory of the British Empire is." Tian Qianqiu praised with a sense of style, "We spent almost two months at sea before we arrived. It’s such an unforgettable journey here. It would be great if our country also had a land like this.”

"There have always been colonies, but there are too many people." Alan Wilson said noncommittally. "If you are talking about a colony like Newfoundland, it is not in line with China's national conditions and is destined to not exist."

Considering the two people's inner acceptance, Alan Wilson did not mention this matter. Chinese civilization is basically insignificant in the exploration of the ocean. It is not only a matter of lagging behind Europe, but also lagging behind the Peace Sect civilization. Even Hindu civilization, this is not a slander, it is true.

The fact that the Peace religion is now the mainstream in the East Indies proves the Arabs' accomplishments in navigation. Before the Peace Religion, Hindu culture dominated the East Indies.

Oman ruled Madagascar in Africa, and the Indian Chola Kingdom ruled Malacca. These are historical facts.

"In fact, compared with these lands scattered all over the country, having a huge mainland is more enviable." Alan Wilson said with emotion, the development of civilization is like the evolution of species, it does not depend on how strong it is in a certain period of time, but To live like a living fossil, that is what you are capable of.

Of course, those who have not changed are doomed to be eliminated. For example, the distance between the Egyptian pyramids and Qin Shi Huang is about the same as the distance between Qin Shi Huang and Qin Shi Huang in the 21st century. But Egypt is the kind that will be eliminated. When Egypt was awesome, the mammoths did not exist. Extinction? so what! Even the great emperor still has an unknown age in his later years.

In the evening, Alan Wilson made his third broadcast after taking office. This time there was nothing practical, but he expressed his good wishes for the future of Newfoundland, instilled some chicken soup for the soul that difficulties are temporary, and finally said that he himself will soon He went to the logging area of ​​the Humber River with a group of Chinese workers, fulfilling his promise to eat, live and supervise the Chinese workers at the same time.

As morning dawned, Alan Wilson began to pack his bags early the next morning, preparing to go to St. John's Pier, board the ship and set off with the Chinese workers. I packed a very down-to-earth package, then put my back behind me, opened the door and stepped out, with a frightened expression on my face, "Scared me!"

At the gate of the Government House, many residents of St. John's looked at the Newfoundland Chief Executive who was putting on a show.

At this time, the governor was carrying a huge package. He was just like the migrant workers who went out to work in later generations.

"You all got up very early. When I'm not in St. John's, you must pay attention to safety if you want to go fishing." Alan Wilson immediately stopped his frightened expression and greeted these local residents with a smile.

At the same time, he walked non-stop along the street towards the pier in St. John's. The boat heading to the mouth of the Humber River was already waiting, because he was waiting alone, which made Alan Wilson feel bad.

"Governor Wilson!" "Mr. Allen!" Some people saw the appearance of the chief executive of Newfoundland and couldn't help but ask to stay.

"Remember to deliver supplies. Chinese workers are not picky eaters. I have already told them. Don't starve us to death by then." Alan Wilson staggered on foot and kept greeting more and more residents without any arrogance. He said, "If I die like this, I don't know if I will get any pension."

"Mr. Governor!" The young chief executive was so skillful that he successfully deceived the simple residents of Newfoundland. For a while, he didn't know what to say.

"Don't look like this. No one forced me. I came up with it on my own initiative." Alan Wilson kept talking as he walked through the crowds on both sides of the street. "Since there are so many people today, why don't we sing Let me sing a song, let me start..."

"God bless the king, may he live forever, God bless the king!" Alan Wilson started easily. In St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland, local residents sang the British national anthem, God bless the king.

Alan Wilson boarded the ship amid this chant, not forgetting to wave and shout, "The difficulties are temporary, and Newfoundland's future must be bright."

As the residents of St. John's sang, the steamer's whistle sounded and it slowly sailed away from the dock. The Governor of British Newfoundland also disappeared from everyone's sight along with the ship.
