It is much more difficult to develop fisheries on Green Island than many people imagine. Because they cannot fish in the open sea, the fishing boats on these islands can only carry out small-scale fishing in the offshore.
But the problem now is that if we only fish offshore, these small-scale fish stocks cannot support a large fishing industry.
This is why Lawrence and the others only saw a few small-tonnage ships on the dock.
"But now, your arrival has brought us a new plan." After explaining the level of fishery development here, Viscount Surrey smiled at Lawrence.
"I think we can also set up a cooperative in this area, and then pool all the power on the island to develop the maritime fishing industry to supplement the insufficient food supply." Sa
The reason why Viscount Lee said this is also very simple, because during this period of contact with Lawrence, he realized the importance and benefits of cooperation.
"This is indeed a good idea." Lawrence nodded to show his support. "I think I can provide you with some help here, because I have successfully established a fishery cooperative in my territory before."
In fact, the current fishery situation on Green Island is similar to the fishery development situation in Lawrence's previous territory. There are only a few small boats. At the same time, the seafood caught every day is only enough to satisfy the hunger.
But now on Xinshaoer Island, the fishery cooperative established by Lawrence with capital investment already owns ships of different grades, large, medium and small, and the fishermen have also got rid of the original level of being able to only make ends meet and stepped into a well-off society.
"Yes, that's why I want to do this now." Viscount Surrey nodded and said. "And I also hope that you can join this plan, because both your wealth and experience can
Help us."
"Of course, of course I am very willing." Lawrence showed a smile on his face. This is obviously a very good investment opportunity, and it can also help other people get rich, so he very much hopes to get this opportunity.
"I will try my best to help you make a new plan. In addition, I will also find ways to help you find more cost-effective types for things like fishing boats or fishing gear." Lawrence finally promised.
Although there are basically only some ship repairs and the manufacturing industry of small and medium-sized offshore ships in the Star Sea area, Lawrence, as a lord whose territory is sealed on an island, naturally has his own channels to obtain ships.
In the next two days, Lawrence and the baron who arrived represented the forces of various islands around New Saul Island and signed a series of agreements with the noble lords on Green Island.
These agreements are all economic agreements, and the contents are all signed around the core purpose of cooperation and complementarity. According to the provisions of the agreement, both parties will try their best to purchase items they lack from the other party and promise to give the other party the lowest price.
"This agreement is very meaningful to us." After the agreement was finally signed and approved by the God of Contract, Viscount Surrey said to Lawrence at the banquet that night.
"As Briton's only territory in the cold zone of the New World, we have encountered a large number of problems that cannot be solved locally. Fortunately, by cooperating with you now, we can successfully solve most of the problems on the island."
"Wouldn't the Britons have any objections?" Lawrence asked puzzledly. In the education he received in his previous life, the textbooks clearly pointed out that the colonies were the dumping ground for local goods and the origin of raw materials, and were affected by the local economy.
control.
What Green Island is doing now is obviously to obtain a trading system of its own, so Lawrence is a little worried that this agreement may be affected by the British Island, and there will be some problems in its implementation.
"They? They won't have any opinions. Otherwise, the direct governing body of this colony will be the Governor's Palace, not the Lords Council."
As an old nobleman, Viscount Surrey naturally knew what Lawrence meant. And with Viscount Surrey's explanation, Lawrence also roughly understood some of the characteristics between this colony and other colonies.
In the ancient kingdom era, the identity of the top leader of each country was often passed down through the direct lineage of the royal family. But even if there are gods in this world, these problems of royal family extinction still frequently occur in various royal families.
The reason for this situation, apart from a small part of it being due to certain congenital problems that prevent them from having children even with the blessing of the gods, is mostly due to a series of extraordinary-related events that left these families with no heirs.
Of course, another common reason for extermination in several ancient kingdoms in the western part of the Old World is that there is no legal direct heir. In this case, even if the king has a bunch of illegitimate children, it is impossible to ascend to the throne.
Fortunately, no matter what the reasons are for extinct heirs, there are only a very small number of royal families that are truly passed down through the generations.
Therefore, for the nobles and ministers of those kingdoms, this problem can be solved by selecting an heir from the king's relatives who conforms to the inheritance law from a blood point of view according to the tradition passed down among the nobles.
However, many times, this step will trigger some very heated debates.
Because of the intricate blood relationships among the nobility of the entire Old World, especially the royal family, if there are three or five heirs behind a throne who meet all the requirements, it can be considered that the relationship between the royal family and the family is simple.
When there are multiple people with the right to inherit, many nobles and officials in the kingdom will choose an heir and cheer for him, in order to seize the benefits after the heir becomes the king.
Some old nobles with long traditions and powerful forces and those border nobles will not take sides at this time, because for them, investing in a king is obviously an investment with small returns but high risks.
But for many nouveau riche, especially the palace aristocrats, this opportunity to take a chance and turn their bicycles into motorcycles will basically induce their entire class to join the competition.
Therefore, in this kind of noble struggle for position, various conspiracies, assassinations, poisonings and even small-scale wars have broken out. As long as they do not exceed a certain line, the gods will not do anything to them.
Too much involvement in some evil deeds.
After everything is settled in the end, there will often be deep hatred between several groups. In this case, the nobles who belong to the loser side will also swallow the bitter fruits of failure.
Although it is said that due to certain rules among nobles, as long as those who did not do anything excessive in the battle for the throne will basically not face a complete liquidation, spitting out various benefits as a price is naturally inevitable.
.
Some nobles will choose to stay in their homeland and work hard, and then wait for the next opportunity to see if they can make a comeback. Others will choose to go overseas to create a broader living space while living in self-exile.
Green Island was the exile chosen by Briton's failed nobles, and gathered some nobles from the losing side of the two throne disputes in the past century.
Unlike those nobles who chose to cut off their flesh and stay where they were, Briton not only did not suppress those nobles who chose to colonize overseas far away from home, but actually had some preferential policies.
For the Briton Kingdom and the royal family, if these nobles stay in the country, they will naturally be dangerous obstructions and will have various adverse effects on the country.
But when they are willing to go to those desolate colonies, their status is transformed into patriots who are willing to open up frontiers for the motherland. They are worthy of respect and can be given preferential policies and help.
