The Rise of the European Emperor

While planning to build a paper mill and salt cooking center on Cape Breton Island, Malin now helped him by looting the 15o Kirk sailboats allocated to Denmark. Regardless of whether it is transporting people or goods, in front of the 15o Kirk sailboat, everything is not a problem.

However, ships are not a problem, sailors are a problem ...

The main thing is that there are 15o Kirk sailing ships, each ship needs 2o to 4o sailors. In this way, the 15o sailboat needs at least 5ooo sailor.

The East Frisian Lambert, where Marin is located, can only recruit 4ooo young fishermen. Moreover, these 4ooo people have been divided into 8o warships, 15 25o class warships and 17 karaoke sailboats currently owned by Marin. A total of 4o ships have divided up the 2ooo people, including the gunner. That is to say, for those Danish merchant ships seized now, the sailor gap has reached about 3ooo people.

Fortunately, most of the coastal areas of Oldenburg, as well as the Jever region, won by Malin are mostly Frisian. Even the west coast of the Principality of Schleswig and the area of ​​Dietmarschen mostly lived with Frisian fishermen.

Therefore, Marin intends to recruit young Frisian fishermen in the Jever region, the coast of Oldenburg and the west coast of the Principality of Schleswig to serve as sailors and control these merchant ships.

To this end, among the nicknames of the first 13 recruits of Cologne University students recruited by the "Thirteen Taibao" recruited at the University of Cologne three years ago, Marin stayed with 5 people in Dourich to discuss.

Then, with the help of these five college students, Marin enacted the famous sailor priority bill. In the future, this bill will provide Marin with a large number of sailors, so that a large number of Marin's warships will run across all continents and scare those pirates.

The bill stipulates that ordinary fishermen ’s tax rate is not included in the tithe of the 3o church. The salt used to make salted fish for taxation can be reimbursed, but it cannot be paid in advance.

However, if there are young people in the family who serve the navy as a sailor, as well as for the merchant ships under the name of Marin, the tax rate of the whole family during service will be reduced to 2o. Also, you can pre-purchase the salt needed for salted fish. In the event of a war death, the preferential policy will be extended from 1o to 2o years, depending on the age of the deceased.

In addition, Marin ’s original support for the fishermen ’s bank, that is, the bank that provided loans to poor fishermen to buy big fishing boats, also changed its policy, and announced in the Sailor Priority Act that from now on, only the strong and navy families Services, or provide loans directly to families serving the merchant ships under Marin ’s name. Families who do not serve the merchant ships of the Navy and Marin will no longer enjoy the loan policy.

The promulgation of the Sailor Priority Act symbolizes that Marin divided the fishermen into two types of people who served Marin, including those who had served Marin and those who did not.

Fishermen's families serving Marin will enjoy various discounts, and they can also use loans to buy large fishing boats to increase their income. It is also important to pre-feed salt for salting salted fish, because without enough salt, you cannot pickle enough salted fish. In that way, no more fish, if the salt is not enough, some fish can only rot.

The families of fishermen who do not serve Marin will become ordinary taxpayers. If you want to buy a big fishing boat, you can only rely on your own affordability. But the profit of selling salted fish is very low. I want to save enough money to buy a new big fishing boat. God knows the year of the monkey. The policy of loaning to buy fishing boats will not benefit them anymore. Moreover, they can't pre-salve salt for salting salted fish, they can only buy salt for salting fish. If you do n’t have enough money, you ca n’t buy enough salt, even if you catch more fish, it ’s a waste. Because, no salt is used for marinating.

From now on, as time goes by, the families of fishermen with sailors serving Marin will be better. There are no sailors at home to serve Marin. Although they live better than before they were ruled by Marin, they are not much better.

The biggest difference between the two is the eligibility for a large fishing boat loan and whether salt can be pre-paid. Only with a larger fishing boat will the harvest be greater. Pre-salted table salt allows fishermen to have enough salt to pickle salted fish. Otherwise, there is not enough salt, even if you have a big fishing boat, it is useless to catch a lot of fish. Without enough salt, the extra fish can only rot and stink ...

Although the young and strong fishermen were not forcibly recruited as sailors, after the promulgation of the Sailor Priority Act, they will use their interests to force those young and strong fishermen's families to scramble to serve the navy and Marin fleet.

Moreover, the Sailor Priority Act is actually aimed at the newly-controlled Frisian fishermen in the Jever region, the coast of Oldenburg and the west coast of the Principality of Schleswig. As for Dietmarshin ... well, the last time there was an agreement between the two sides because of the capture of Marin, Marin allowed them to autonomy ...

In these areas, the total number of Frisian fishermen is estimated to be around 40,000, a huge number. Recruiting five or six thousand sailors among them should not be a problem ...

...

During the enactment and promulgation of the Sailor Priority Act, Marin naturally consulted Amerigo, who was helping Marin train captains at the captain's school.

Americo has no comments on the new bill, but it has its own views on the 15o commercial vessels seized from Denmark.

The ships docked at the newly built pier near Emden, and Americano visited it. He believes that of these 15o ships, only those 6o Kirk sailboats with a displacement of more than 2oo tons are of value for ocean navigation. Others with a displacement of less than 2oo tons are still dangerous when sailing on the Atlantic Ocean.

Moreover, with Marin's current scale of trade, even the 6o Kirk sailboats of more than 2oo tons may not be used, not to mention the 9o Kirk sailboats of less than 2oo tons ...

Malin was suddenly embarrassed ...

He thought about using all the 15o seized ships, but he never considered the trade volume of the chamber of commerce under his own name, did he use so many ships ...

Even if 6o ships of more than 2oo tons are large, the scale is very scary. Because, these 6o ships, the total shipping capacity of a full load, will reach more than 7,000 tons ... Does Marin have so much cargo to ship? the answer is negative……

As a result, Marin finally selected the 6o Kirk sailboats of more than 2oo tons and formed a shipping company under his control for trade transportation and troop transport. Of course, it is also responsible for the transportation between the homeland and the colony.

As for the 9o boats with a displacement of less than 2oo tons ...

"Otherwise, would you use them as fishermen's loans to buy big fishing boats for big boat projects and sell them to qualified fishermen?" Amerigo suggested.

A ship of one hundred to dozens of tons may be regarded as a small boat in ocean trade. However, in the eyes of the Frisian fishermen, it is definitely a big boat, and it is fully conditional to go fishing in the depths of the North Sea, not like now, most Frisian fishermen are actually still using a dozen tons of small boats. Fishing in the sea ... Even in the later generations, fishing boats with a displacement of a few hundred tons can't be considered small ...

After thinking about it, Marin finally made a final decision:

"Good idea, that's it. So for these 9o ships, I plan to send 2o ships to Cape Breton Island and Double Island, and send a group of fishermen to participate in fishing. As for the other 7o ships, they are sold at a discount To those fishermen who meet the loan conditions and buy big ships with loans! "

In this way, Marin decisively disposed of 9o "boats" with a displacement of 2oo tons or less, and only retained 6o Kirk sailboats with a displacement of 2oo tons or more, as a newly established "Hoffman Shipping Company" merchant ship .

In this way, www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Malin's worry about the shortage of sailors was immediately resolved. Because, two-thirds of the ships were cut off, and the remaining one-third of the ships were completely enough with the existing sailors, and it was just enough ...

In fact, for these 6o Kirk sailing ships of more than 2oo tons, Marin is insignificant. Because, in his mind, the Galleon ship of more than 5oo tons is the most suitable merchant ship. However, there is no Galen ship in his hand now. The only few are still warships.

Only when enough Galen ships are built can we slowly replace those Kirk sailboats. The eliminated Kirk sailboat is a good way to deal with those fishermen who are eligible. In this way, it can also support the development of fisheries.

You should know that this year, there are not many large fishing vessels at sea, and fishery resources are also abundant. Moreover, in this era, because of the rules of the Holy See, there are so many festivals in the year where meat is not allowed, and the sale of salted fish is also very marketable ...
