Chapter 412: The Governor Showing Off

Also announced is the recruitment of workers for the Newfoundland Timber Industry Federation. 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 an unreliable person in the eyes of Alan Wilson.

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

…”

Also, 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 express his response to the policies of the London Labor government. 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.

Local relations.

Moreover, the fishing moratorium in Newfoundland is about to pass, and Newfoundland itself 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 use the traditional method of fishing: larger fishing boats carry several small fishing boats to waters far offshore and unload the small boats. There are two or three fishermen on each small boat. Several small boats split up and cast nets nearby.

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. Under normal circumstances, each small boat goes back and forth two or three times a day. After dinner, the fishermen also go to the big ship to collect the catch of the day.

The fresh fish were pickled and preserved. A few days later, the ship returned with a full load.

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. The downstairs is usually 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. They work for half a year and rest for half a year. Many farmers in high latitudes do this, spending half a year making money, and then using the accumulation of half a year to maintain their lives after the climate gets colder.

.

"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 is similar to that of British India, maybe a little more, there must be a lot of hunger in life.

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 in 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 the country were black pigs. Many black and white old movie scenes showed black pig scenes in rural areas.

The white pigs that are commonly seen in the 21st century are actually derived from breeds bred in the United Kingdom, the United States and Denmark. They grow faster and have higher feed conversion rates, eliminating 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, I won't be there for a 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 is not illegal to marry more women. This is respect for tradition.

He really has no way to solve this problem. He does not dare to advocate such nonsense as racial integration. As long as he dares to mention it, British Newfoundland will 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 politely. "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. The territory of the British Empire is so vast, it's really surprising." Tian Qianqiu praised with enthusiasm, "We spent almost two months on the sea before we arrived.

It’s such an unforgettable journey here. It would be great if our country also had such a land.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There have always been people, 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.

National conditions are destined to be gone."

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 Cult is now the mainstream belief in the East Indies proves the Arabs' accomplishments in navigation. Before the Peace Cult, Hindu culture dominated the East Indies.

Oman ruled Madagascar in Africa, and the Chola Kingdom in India 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, there were no mammoths.

Extinction? So what! Even the great emperor still has an unknown age.

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

Go to the logging area of ​​​​the Humber River with a group of Chinese workers, fulfill your promise to eat and live with the Chinese workers, and supervise them at the same time.

As the morning light fell, 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. He packed a very down-to-earth package, then carried it behind him and opened the door.

Stepping out the door, a frightened expression appeared on his 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 on his back. 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 go out to fish." Alan Wilson immediately stopped his frightened expression and greeted these local residents with a smile.

At the same time, he kept walking down 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, Alan Wilson felt bad.

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

"Remember to deliver supplies. The 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 performed so well and 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 myself." 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 eyes along with the ship.
