During the break, some Chinese workers were chewing snacks, which were actually a specialty of Newfoundland, dried Arctic shrimps. The shrimps had become a snack for many Chinese workers after they finished their work.
In the dense forest not far away, the tall body of the Sharma was walking through the sawn logs.
As the largest horse breed in the world, the Shire horse, which had just arrived in Newfoundland, conquered the hearts of many Chinese workers as soon as it appeared. They all said that the British Empire had the power to control the world.
This made Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. The Shire horse is a draft horse. In the UK, it plays the role of oxen and is used to plow the fields. However, compared to oxen, the Shire horse is much more powerful. Its huge size is definitely not
A waste of fame.
At first, even Alan Wilson did not think that this horse breed, which traveled around the world with the British Empire, could be used to replace machinery.
In the forestry production in the previous life, horses were also commonly used as animal-drawn tools in mountainous areas that were inaccessible to machines. However, there were no such big beasts in his hometown. They were replaced by ordinary horses, but they were still usable.
The landing of these Shire horses brought back from Canada directly proved the importance of British agriculture before the industrial revolution. It was definitely not in vain, and it was not difficult at all to drag logs back and forth.
If the island is too small, the animals on the island will become dwarfed. On an island of a certain area, the opposite will happen. On a large island, ordinary animals will become larger.
As the Governor of Newfoundland, who no one knows better than him, Alan Wilson said that if this labor expedition is very successful, and if these Chinese laborers return to Malaya and need it, he can make the decision and let the Chinese laborers bring back a batch of Shire horses, as long as
They think they can afford it.
"That's great. This kind of horse would be really powerful for farming." Tian Qianqiu replied happily.
"It's not wrong, but the cost of raising cattle will be lower. Forgot, Malaya is buffalo." Alan Wilson patted his head, "People like you, if you keep your current hard-working quality,
, even if you return to Malaya, you can still get rich quickly. After all, the local shipping is developed and there is support from the British mainland. The future is promising."
Alan Wilson followed these Chinese workers to the Humber River. On the one hand, he was really putting on a show. Another purpose was to brainwash the Chinese workers who came to Newfoundland while putting on a serious show.
It’s not about socialism or capitalism. Prime Minister Attlee, who is currently in power in the UK, is a true socialist. When Alan Wilson mentioned this aspect, he was limited to the difference between British socialism and the Soviet Union.
Mainly, he talked about some practical things to help open the eyes of these Chinese labor groups, and mentioned that Malaya may carry out some reforms in the future with the support of the British mainland.
He would definitely not say these words to the Peranakans in Malaya, because the Peranakans are almost the same as the Malays. There is no need to communicate. Just use the Qing law to talk to the Peranakans, and choose one of the four types of death penalty.
The Chinese who have just arrived in Malaya can still communicate and talk about what is needed for the development of Malaya.
If nothing happens, getting vaccinated can avoid conflicts in the future and end up like Japan.
The Japanese just don't understand that Japan's development is the result of the connivance of the United States. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the United States can interrupt this development trend at any time, and Japan has no ability to resist.
The same applies to Malaya. If the United Kingdom really pursues the path of dominating the European Community and opens up some markets to allow Malaya to carry out preliminary industrial development, then Malaya will undoubtedly start at about the same time as Japan.
.
Considering that the population of Malaya is not that large, the price Europe has to pay is much smaller than that of the United States. As long as the adjustment is good, Japan and the United States will not eventually fall out like they did in the 1980s.
Falling out will be of no benefit to Malaya. The technical support and market are in Europe, and the raw materials are in Australia. Upstream and downstream are blocked. Falling out will only make Malaya become Japan. If the division of labor and cooperation can continue, Malaya's
Life is less stressful than in Japan, so being a beacon in Asia is not a problem.
In the end, Alan Wilson wrote a blank check that could never be cashed. "In fact, some voices in London are saying that if the United States withdraws its troops from Japan one day, Britain will make Malaya independent."
Only Alan Wilson himself clearly understands the shamelessness of this empty promise in this chapter. The United States is more likely to drag Japan along with it to death, so how can it possibly loosen the chain around the Japanese's neck?
Seeing the forest farms and villages being built one after another, Alan Wilson knew in his heart that this Newfoundland self-rescue operation had gradually begun to go on the right track. The rest was to see whether the so-called hard work was genuine.
At the end of the day's work, several Chinese workers were educating Alan Wilson about the fact that boars must be castrated and breeding pigs should be kept to carry on the family line, and pigs must be bled when slaughtered.
Who knows how the topic shifted to the postpartum care of sows!
"That seems to be the case, right?" Alan Wilson said as he walked, "By the way, you think the pig part is delicious."
"Is there anything I can't eat, such as internal organs and pig's feet?" Several Chinese workers chatted in unison, and they suddenly felt less sleepy. They all said that no one knew how to eat pork better than me.
"Perhaps I can help you solve this problem!" Alan Wilson understood that fish cannot be eaten as food, and even the British fish supply is only a small part of meat.
Although these Chinese workers were never hungry and didn't complain much, they were definitely ravenous.
Although he had long forgotten how to talk about eating pork, he remembered that it seemed that there was no custom of eating offal in Western tradition, excluding the United Kingdom, which even ate crows during World War II.
But North America was not affected by the world war. If there was an impact, it was all positive. Both Canada and the United States should still have their bad habits.
After taking over the duties of a buyer here at Hua Gong, Alan Wilson left the logging area, boarded a ship from Corner Brook, and returned to the capital, St. John's. Although he was slightly disappointed that he was not a member of his best friend group, he wanted to talk about tax havens.
The matter can also be said to be important, and it happened to be taken care of along with the dietary needs of the Chinese workers.
Europe and the United States mainly eat beef. The first is that pigs are not castrated. If you are unfortunate enough to buy male pork, congratulations, you have got a piece of pork with a strong smell. Second: the slaughtering method is different. Some countries here do not bleed pigs.
, pork without bleeding will not be delicious.
When he came back this time, he mainly asked the guests from the east coast of the United States, specifically Boston, about how the pork in North America was generally prepared.
It happened that he also had a consul position in Boston. Although he only stayed there for one day, this time was considered as a make-up lesson.
If there were 200,000 more civil servants like Alan Wilson, who worked two jobs but only received one salary, how could the British Empire be in the situation it is today?
The local force in Boston, Alan Wilson thinks, should be the Boston Consortium.
Since they have a banking industry, they compete with Citibank. At the same time, Boston's local advantageous industries are closely related to light industry and also involve the food processing industry, which is relatively consistent with Newfoundland's situation.
At least Alan Wilson thinks so, although his so-called fitting conclusion is very whimsical, because the first thing he can think of in Boston is Boston lobster, lobster is seafood, and Newfoundland has natural fishing grounds, so it fits!
Alan Wilson, who thought he was well-founded, happened to know that Boston's food processing industry was also an important industry, and asked whether the market price of pork could solve the problem of feeding the Chinese workers.
A few days later, Alan Wilson, the British Newfoundland correspondent with longer hair, oil-stained overalls, and even a German helmet, returned to St. John's.
Smith Hammer is in his forties, which is considered a very golden age for a successful person. He is well-dressed and meticulous. When he met Alan Wilson, the young but unkempt Chief Executive of Newfoundland, he was immediately shocked.
"Mr. Allen, you are dressed very much like a Dixie man."
"Oh, American Southerners?" Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said that no one knows America better than me, saying that he knew that the Dixie people were descendants of the Confederate States of America, "Rednecks? Rednecks?"
"Sorry, that's not what I meant." Smith Hammer said apologetically, saying that he had no intention of offending. On the contrary, he respected the Newfoundland speaker in front of him very much and believed that Alan Wilson was a model of British civil servants.
"Mr. Smith, please sit down." Alan Wilson muttered the other person's name. He didn't know whether Smith was a common name in the United States or not. It didn't matter. His biggest impression of this name was a movie called Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of course.
, he has not seen the original version, but the adult version, and the protagonist Kayden Cross left a deep impression on him.
Not surprisingly, Smith Hammer's purpose was related to the executive order issued by Alan Wilson. After the Boston consortium got the news, they keenly realized that this was a tax haven.
Similar operations have also occurred in the United States. When the DuPont family encountered difficulties, they bought the Delaware State Legislature, revised state laws, and reduced taxes in Delaware.
In fact, the only major enterprise in Delaware at that time was the DuPont family, and the main beneficiary of this bill was the DuPont family.
After the bill was revised, Delaware's tax rate was greatly reduced, but the number of companies headquartered in Delaware expanded rapidly, which in turn promoted local economic development.
But I have heard that Boston did not expect such extreme measures from Newfoundland. According to Alan Wilson's executive order, a company only collects a management fee of fifty pounds a year. This is comparable to the harsh measures taken by Delaware back then.
