In fact, from the moment he planned to bring hundreds of thousands of Maozi back to the country to farm, Marin's mentality changed dramatically. He no longer adhered to the idea of ​​developing a country dominated by German immigrants at the beginning, but changed to an inclusive attitude.

However, as the natal race after crossing, the Germans will become the basis of rule in the new American country. Specifically, it is to allow fellow clansmen to become soldiers and great craftsmen to master the core resources and power of society. As for the others, they can be distributed to other ethnic groups.

For example, the work of farming can be handed over to the Maozi. Also, the French are fine, and so are the Italians. Even Indians in America.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, the proportion of the population of each ethnic group must be strictly controlled, and cannot exceed that of immigrants from the Beihai country. In the future, the Germans in the North Sea will share America with the English. In this way, the two major ethnic groups work together, not to mention anything else, North America will definitely be able to control it.

However, the French are still not moving, and Maozi has not yet snatched it. The most realistic thing right now is actually to use the native American Indians to help with labor. Although the labor efficiency of the Indians is not as good as that of the blacks, it is good to have a labor force, and Marin does not choose.

Marin suspected that there should be very few Yin merchants who arrived in Mexico alive. The main body of the local Indians must not be of Chinese blood, otherwise, they would definitely not be inferior to blacks in terms of farming talent. You must know that the labor efficiency of the Chinese laborers who were trafficked to Cuba in the 19th century was far higher than that of black slaves.

Therefore, Marin felt that there should be very few Yin merchants who arrived in Mexico alive. Then, it was integrated by the locals. Therefore, Indian civilization has not developed to a certain height, but only partially improved. And the locals didn't get the farming talent of the Chinese, otherwise they wouldn't be able to catch up with the blacks.

However, the Indians in Mexico can indeed be regarded as the most talented in farming among the American Indians. The cultivation of corn was done by the local people. Moreover, Marin suspected that it was made by the surviving Yin merchants.

Because the Spanish name of corn is "az", which is a transliteration of the local aboriginal language. The pronunciation is very similar to "wheat". Perhaps, the Yin merchant who cultivated corn into food named it after the name of wheat in his hometown.

...

Of course, these are not important. The important thing is that the Aztecs were indeed very suitable for farming.

According to intelligence, they implement the village communal system. Except for the private land of the nobles, the land in general villages is owned by the village commune. The village commune allocates a certain amount of arable land to each male owner according to the number of male labor in each family, and cultivates it for life. If the male owner dies and there is no strong labor to support it, the land will be taken back by the village community. In addition, if the allocated land is not cultivated for two consecutive years, it must be taken back. As for the grain received by the village commune, apart from keeping some for its own use, the rest must be handed over to the empire.

In the Shang Dynasty in Chinese history, the land system was exactly the same as that of the Aztec Empire, and it was also divided into private land and communal public land. Farmers in the Shang Dynasty could only get their own land through communes. Specifically, it is the well field system.

However, the agriculture of the Aztec Empire did not have iron tools or cattle farming. However, iron farm tools and cattle plowing only appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period in the late Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, what Mexico inherited was completely the original version of the agricultural technology of the Shang Dynasty. Even a castrated version of the agricultural technology of the Shang Dynasty. After all, the Shang Dynasty still had bronze tools. But because there is no wheat and millet, only local corn can be used. Of course, in the Caribbean, local sweet potatoes and cassava were also used. On the Inca side, they produced potatoes.

Although the farmers of the Aztec Empire had primitive farming techniques, they were farmers after all and were used to doing farm work. When you get it in your own village, it is easy to start farming. Unlike the Indians in the jungles of North America, many of them were hunting tribes who did not engage in farming. Even if they were captured, it would be difficult to train them to be qualified farmers. Because the hunting peoples are used to wandering,

I am not used to farming in one place all the time. Therefore, in history, there was a situation in which North American colonists bought a large number of black slaves to farm the land. Because the Indians of the local hunting tribe are really not good at farming. However, it was able to fight, and the colonists suffered a lot in the early days. If they were not divided into multiple tribes and attacked each other, the early colonists would not be able to gain a foothold in North America.

Therefore, Marin divided the American Indians into two types-those who farmed and those who did not.

Farming Indians not only have farming skills, but also have a milder personality and are relatively easy to manage. After all, Marin arrested them to let them farm, which was part of their lives. However, the only two changes are that one is the use of new technologies and new tools; the other is that the object of handing over the remaining grain has changed, from the original Aztec Empire to handing over to Marin ...

It is much more difficult for the Indians who let them hunt. These people are a bit like the Jurchens in Northeast China, with a fierce nature and strong combat effectiveness. It's just that they are more primitive, and there is no outstanding leader who stands up to unify them. Otherwise, relying on his familiarity with the jungle, it would be really difficult for Marin to destroy them.

For the hunting Indians, Marin's attitude is-first to win over and recruit, and if they fail to win over, they will be wiped out. Originally, Marin had a headache about how to destroy them. However, since the idea of ​​using the Saurons (Oroqen) to exterminate the Indian jungle tribes, it has become very easy to deal with them. The Saurons are fighter jets in the jungle tribes of this era. Equipped with the bows and armor provided by Marin, they will definitely beat any Indian jungle tribe. In addition, the Saurons can ride horses through the jungle like flying, and it should not be too easy to eliminate those Indian jungle tribes who refuse to submit.

As long as the warriors hired by Sauron are in place, Marin will immediately launch an attack on the inland Indian hunting tribes. Either obey or be wiped out. Only by clearing out those aggressive jungle tribes can the progress of developing the North American jungle be undisturbed.

But the ship sent to the Far East had to wait for Suha to recruit a certain number of Sauron warriors. And even if Suha recruited Sauron mercenaries, he still had to fight the Jurchen because of the fur trade. It may take a year or two until manpower is freed and sent to North America.

Therefore, there is no rush to attack the inland jungle hunting tribe, and it is useless to rush. But for the development of farmland, we can act immediately.

On the side of the Aztec Empire, it was not convenient to move until 1519, the year of the "Return of the White God". On the other hand, it seems that some progress has been made in the capture of Taino people on Haiti.

The Taino people are also an agricultural people. Although some people also rely on hunting for a living, the proportion is relatively low. Most of the millions of Taino people on the island mainly grow cassava and belong to the agricultural tribe.

Since agriculture is the mainstay, it is naturally inseparable from villages. Therefore, the colonial army sent by Marin to Haiti is now capturing villages one by one and plundering the population. Then, it will be sent to Guantanamo Castle on the island of Cuba in the west for screening. The so-called screening is to see if you are carrying syphilis. If there is, send it back to Haiti to fend for itself. If not, after the quarantine period, they can be sent to the colonial area of ​​Havana, handed over to Tara, the governor of Cuba, and arranged to be serfs.

When Marin captured the Maozi serfs of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the blood sacrifice captives of the Aztec Empire, Guantanamo Castle on the remote island of Cuba, the place that was used to act for the Holy See and the princes, has now completed the first time Taino Screening.

Four thousand Hungarian mercenaries captured more than 20,000 Tainos on Haiti Island and sent them to Guantanamo in batches by boat. Then, through isolation and observation, the first batch of about 180,000 Tainos were found to be all right, and they were sent to the colonial area of ​​Havana. As for the remaining 2,000 syphilis carriers and the Taino people who were suspected of having spots on their bodies, they were sent to the southern island of Jamaica to fend for themselves. However, the colonists of the North Sea State still gave them tools and cassava so that they could make a living by themselves.

Today, more than 18,000 Taino people have been allocated by Tara to various plantations in the colonial area of ​​Havana. At this time, Tara was very ambitious, and was ready to use the more than 18,000 people to develop another 500,000 mu of sugarcane and grain fields.

The island of Cuba is tropical and it is like summer all year round. You don't have to wait until spring to start plowing and sowing seeds. Wait until next year, it will be a large amount of output. However, Marin gave him instructions to let both the early two batches grow rice and sweet potatoes. Because the 100,000 Tainos assigned to Cuba are not machines that do not eat or drink, but also consume a lot of food. Therefore, the first and second batch of Taino serfs had better grow food. Then, when the Taino serfs from behind arrived, everyone would have enough food to eat. Only when there is enough food, can there be spare energy to grow sugar cane, tea, sisal, coffee and other cash crops...

Let me add a word, it's really good, it's worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!
