The Rise of Iceland

After Hagrid returned to Herut City, Wenlan really strengthened his strength again. This time, he sold all the goods on his European trip and obtained nearly 300,000 pounds of silver. It can be said that he received a huge amount of silver. wealth.

However, Hagrid spent more than half of it, mostly used to buy ship weapons and solicit contract white slaves, and a small part of it bought cotton, fruits and vegetables and other plant seeds, grain, cloth, books, and so on.

The remaining gold and silver coins worth 50,000 pounds of silver were also handed over to Hadar. Hadar took out more than 20,000 and distributed it to the Vikings at cost. Hagrid also received 3,000 gold shillings.

Vinland now has a huge population base for the colony, and there are 28 ships, of which 26 are armed merchant ships, and more than half are equipped with heavy cannons. Although the navy strength is far inferior to that of England, the Netherlands, Spain, etc. However, compared with Denmark and Sweden, there are already more than half of the navies of the two countries. From the perspective of the card, the only difference between Vinland and the Nordic navies is that Vinland does not have a sufficiently large and sturdy flagship, and the number of warships is smaller. .

At present, Wenlan has enough food such as sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkins, and urban management planning has made environmental sanitation very superior. The promotion of human pox vaccination and the improvement of environmental sanitation have almost eliminated Wenlan's infectious diseases.

Food and health are guaranteed. At present, more than two thousand white slaves have been added. In a few days, five or six thousand slaves from Basque City and Bakkens City will also arrive in Groot City. Hadar and Hudik are already gearing up. , Preparing to train a new militia army, with the 600 semi-full-time white slave militias trained in the first and next year as the core, adding contracted white slaves and indigenous slaves, expanding into a corps of 3,500 people, And two thousand auxiliary soldiers.

On the third day when Hagrid returned to Groot, the two thousand native Indians and six hundred Inuit of the Basque city were brought back by more than ten large ships sent by Heine.

This time Ulav sent someone to greet Hadar in advance. Due to the cold weather in Labrador, it can be said that it is not suitable for agricultural planting. Therefore, there are not many indigenous populations, so he can only make up two of them after working hard for more than a month. Thousands and six hundred people.

With more than two thousand slaves, there were more than a dozen tall, strong, first-born mooses with huge horns.

The North American moose is the largest animal living in the northern frigid zone. It is not found on Iceland and Vinland, so Olaf has never seen it. However, there are still some moose distributed in Scandinavia, such as Hadar, Hudik and Hager. Not surprisingly, Olaf is extremely rare.

A dozen moose were gifts from Ulav to Olaf’s Shahlimnier Breeding Company. This huge moose is comparable to large-scale cattle and horses. It can definitely be used as domesticated livestock. In the future, whether it is labor or Killing and eating meat has great economic value and potential.

More than 2,000 slaves are young and strong slaves carefully selected by Ulav, and the proportion of men has reached half. After professional training, they can completely replace the old slaves in Groot to engage in agriculture, gathering, fishing, and hunting. , Construction and so on.

After this batch of slaves are well trained, the old loyal slaves who can speak Icelandic can undergo formal military training and become militias.

Heine disrupted two thousand six hundred slaves into groups and handed them over to eighteen Atangs. Although these slaves were all private slaves of the Hadar family, due to their low status, more than two thousand of the eighteen Atangs The Vikings were still able to manage and punish the slaves assigned to their home Atang.

In the plans of Hadar, Heine, Hudik, and Olaf, it was possible to gradually replace old slaves with new slaves in a week or two.

This can be regarded as a deal between the Hadar family and the Viking families under them, exchanging their new private slaves with the private slaves of the two thousand Duoweijing families, in exchange for the loyal slaves who have been assimilated by the culture to supplement the source of troops.

The Hadar family actually owns more than 1,000 private slaves, and they are all skilled workers and farmers. Hadar and Olaf have selected more than 300 healthy men from these private slaves, and plan to exempt them from lifelong slaves. The status of generations of slaves, rewards a contract, promotes them to become indentured slaves, and gives these more than 300 slaves a promising future.

In the future, these three hundred slaves may be the core leadership members of this new militia.

After waiting for another week, four thousand young and strong slaves from Bukens City were also sent to Herut City.

Men accounted for more than 70% of the 4,000 slaves, and the remaining 1,000 women were young women with well-proportioned bodies and no disabilities.

Obviously these four thousand people are all young and strong laborers who have been carefully selected after Blackstone has integrated the entire western and northern indigenous people of Wenlan, and the dozens of captains in the lead can also speak some simple Icelandic. .

Due to the massive increase in the population of Herut City, more than a dozen boats have also turned into fishing boats to fish for cod in the North Atlantic Ocean east of Vinland.

While the sweet potatoes, potatoes and other foods in the cellars of Groot were rapidly consumed, Heine also asked slaves to build more than a dozen public toilets in the city, and built five more septic tanks outside the city for centralized processing.

Even if the winery and sugar factory are producing every day, and the increase in population has accelerated the consumption of reserve rations, Heine and Olaf are relieved after calculating.

The sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins stored in the cellar and the corn, beans and other grains in the warehouse can fully support the consumption of 19,000 people in Groot City until winter, and by the early winter, more than 8,000 acres of land will explode this year. With the bumper harvest last year, the city of Groot does not have to worry about facing hunger.

Nearly 4,000 contracted white slaves and more than 8,000 indigenous slaves in the city of Groot must have the Hadar family to provide rations, because all the wealth they create belongs to the Hadar family, and the contracted owner of the contracted white slaves is Hadar. The wealth and even the lives of the slaves belonged to the Hadar family. Every day, more than 10,000 people consumed 20,000 pounds of potatoes, sweet potatoes and some vegetables in Hadarburg’s cellar and warehouse.

At present, there are about 6 million pounds of food in Hadarborg, including pickles, wine, sugar, etc., enough to eat and drink for one's family, white slaves, and private slaves for one year.

But Hadar, as the general of Viking Raidang and the owner of Vinland, has to take care of the two thousand multi-dimensional Jing people in Viking Raidang. Every once in a while, he will give some food to the Vikings who participate in activities such as production hunting. Reward, this almost doubles the rate of consumption of Hadarburg’s stored grain.

Diet is the most fundamental link in population growth. If it weren’t for Olaf’s introduction of high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and pumpkins in Vinland, with Vinland’s current level of development, the harvested grains, game, cod, etc. would not be sold. Money can't even support the daily consumption of tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, every Viking, indentured white slave, and native slave who ate their food was in awe of Olaf and General Hadar in their hearts. They knew that their good life was maintained by the family of General Hadar.

Because Vinland adopted the Viking Thunder Legion system, the Vikings headed by Hadar controlled all of Vinland’s wealth, and the wealth in the hands of the Hadar and Hagrid brothers was the largest, including a large amount of land and all the wealth. Large ships and maple sap mining rights, mine ownership, etc.

This system is the most effective and effective organization in the process of developing colonies. Vikings, white slaves, and slaves are willing to contribute to Viking Raidang, because slaves and white slaves have the opportunity to become Vikings. Lord, the Vikings can also trade slaves for slaves, land, status, rights, and so on.

This kind of thing that seems to have a promising future, in essence, is to continuously expand the land, conquer the enslaved population, and build the interests of Viking Thunder as masters and servants on the later colonized people. It belongs to the poor North America. The natives **** blood.

Olaf has a thorough view of this matter. He knows that regardless of whether he participates or not, in the future, the North American continent will not have the right to speak and sense of existence of the Indians. He now pulls the Indians into the Viking Thunder, even though they are now His identity is mainly slaves, but after unremitting efforts, there will always be a large number of people becoming Vikings, and even white marriages, which will eventually lead to the rule of Vinland, Labrador, and even more local leaders in North America. When Indians appeared in the class, Olaf thought he was saving the Indians.

And it is reasonable for the Native Americans to contribute their meager strength on the way to save their natives.

In mid-July, after the contracted white slaves and indigenous slaves increased substantially, Olaf and Heine began to inoculate more than 8,000 people with human pox to prevent large-scale smallpox disease from appearing in the future, which would cause serious impact and consequences.

Because there are now some Viking women in Herut City who understand and implement the human pox vaccination method, after training tens of thousands of people, they have become skilled veterans. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is in the slaves. With the cooperation of orders, more than 8,000 people were vaccinated in less than a week.

After the reaction after vaccination and the onset of some losers, the vaccination lasted until the first ten days of August before the vaccination was completely over.

Half of the more than 2,000 white slaves had smallpox in Europe, so only 1,300 people had seeded, and their resistance was not bad overall. In the end, only close to 100 people became ill and 40 died. People, the failure rate is about 7.1%, and the death rate is 2.8%.

In later generations, this ratio is quite alarming, but compared to the medical level of the 17th century, Olaf, who invented the human pox vaccination method, and Katrine, who implemented it, are all the Lord, the God of salvation and distress.

Because the Native Americans have no antibodies to the smallpox virus, the success rate of seeding is far lower than that of contracted white slaves.

After more than 6,000 Indians and 600 Inuit were vaccinated, about 1,200 Indians and nearly 100 Inuit became ill. In the end, 1,300 people who became ill died of nearly 7 The five hundred people who survived were all young people with the strongest body.

After a round of human pox vaccination, all new personnel in Herut City have smallpox antibodies, which will eliminate a hidden danger in the future. At the same time, thousands of contracted white slaves and indigenous slaves have seen the mysterious power of the Viking master. , Even smallpox, a terrible disease comparable to the Black Death, can be prevented silently in advance. They don’t know how to build antibodies. They only understand that the Viking women stabbed their nose with a wooden stick and then got fever for two days. With the ability to resist smallpox, it is amazing to not get this kind of disease.

As for those who died of illness, everyone selectively ignored them.

After all, life is difficult. It is a great blessing to live well. Where can I still have the energy to worry about others?
