Chapter 412 The Governor General who puts on a show

Also announced was the recruitment of the Newfoundland Wood Consortium, which as a collective enterprise serving Newfoundland would of course need to be managed by local Newfoundland residents.

It was mainly the management of the accounts, which was also a way to make some necessary talent reserves for the future tax haven.

As for setting up a collective enterprise, anyone who opposes it is unreliable in Alan Wilson’s eyes.

Don’t the doubters know that the roaring nationalization campaign on British soil is almost complete? The great Prime Minister Adderley stated, “We are going to combine the virtues of capitalism and socialism and have the British road to socialism ……”

Also the other day Prime Minister Aidley has announced that Britain has successfully set up a welfare system that covers the whole population and has officially become a welfare state.

Prime Minister Aidley also had to take money to buy private businesses for nationalization, Alan Wilson was faced with a much simpler environment, and directly set up a collective enterprise to show that he was responding to the policies of the Labour government in London, so what’s wrong with that?

Daring to question Prime Minister Adderley’s policies, as the man in charge of British Newfoundland now, Alan Wilson now feels that anyone who has doubts about this is a potential anti-British element, wanting to sever the relationship between British Newfoundland and the British mainland.

Moreover, Newfoundland’s fishing moratorium was going to expire, and in itself there was no manpower in Newfoundland right now for wood products harvesting, and once the moratorium passed, Newfoundland’s fishermen were going to go out to sea and start fishing.

Newfoundland fishermen fish in the traditional way: larger boats carry several smaller boats farther offshore and unload them. There are two or three fishermen in each boat. The boats spread their nets around the area to catch fish.

When the small boats are fully loaded, they sail back to the big boat, unload the seafood in the hold and then continue to cast nets. Normally, each small boat makes two or three round trips a day. After dinner, the fishermen also marinate the fresh fish caught that day on the big boat for preservation. A few days later, the big boats returned with full loads.

Current Newfoundland fishermen don’t fish year-round, and the abundance of Newfoundland’s fisheries can support regular breaks for Newfoundland fishermen, but once the fishermen have had enough rest, they still have to go out to sea.

Fishermen are not, after all, working laborers or national civil servants, and their lives are still very hard in comparison.

The houses in fishing villages are almost all two-storey, but that is not a villa for enjoyment, usually the downstairs is a storage room, used to store fishing gear, and the outside of the building will also be placed in the fishing boat, and the upstairs is the people’s bedrooms.

In fact, the life of Newfoundland fishermen is very much like the life of many people in high latitude areas, sort of dry half a year off half a year. That’s how many farmers in the high latitudes spend half a year earning money, and then use half a year’s accumulation to maintain their lives after the climate gets colder.

“Maybe you Chinese workers, you have to make some adjustments in what you eat.” Alan Wilson said to Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu both, “I believe you all know the situation here, Newfoundland is a sea island, the meat here 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. Out of this condition, I hope you all love fish yourselves.”

“Lord Zhongtang, in fact, as long as we can ensure that we don’t starve to death, we don’t have any requirements for what we eat.” Su Yang patted his chest and assured, “As for work, it’s up to us.”

“This I believe!” Alan Wilson nodded his head, perhaps this was also the advantage of recruiting Chinese workers. Considering the population similar to that of British India, maybe a little more, there must have been no shortage of starvation amongst life experiences.

These Chinese workers who were sent to Malaya can be said to be very contented compared to the native-born Chinese in Malaya.

Newfoundland fishery in addition to cod, there are large quantities of Arctic shrimp and crab, Newfoundland fishery in later years, the cod resources are not fishing exhausted, is to rely on Arctic shrimp and crab to hold out.

Like the Newfoundland fishery natural fisheries in the world, many of the meat products are still very primitive, are in the cultivation stage.

The simplest example, this time period in China, the territory of the pig should be almost all black pigs. Many old black and white movie footage, rural areas have black pig footage appeared.

The white hogs commonly seen in the twenty-first century actually come from breeds bred in Britain, the United States and Denmark. The faster growth and higher feed conversion rate eliminated the native Chinese black pig.

Even now, in 1948, many crops are very different from the latter, and the yield is not comparable.

As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountain to eat the mountain to eat the water, you can only let these Chinese workers to change their tastes, try to develop the habit of eating fish, Arctic shrimp, crabs enough, as for the land livestock, can only be avoided.

Across the ocean close to two months, Alan Wilson understand these have arrived at the Chinese workers hard work, only the duty is still to remind, “As for your physical needs, I can not solve, really can not hold it, less than a year, use your hands to deal with it, go back to have a house and a place to marry a few of your own say.”

According to the Great Qing Law of British Malaya, it was not illegal to marry more women, it was a respect for tradition.

This is something he really can’t address, he wouldn’t dare advocate racial integration that kind of bullshit. If he dared to mention it, British Newfoundland would immediately become independent.

Even the latter-day United States was a ridiculed antithesis in Alan Wilson’s eyes, so how could he do anything similar. Although the yellow race is different from the black race, the problem is the same.

“If you have anything to say, communicate directly to me.” Alan Wilson said with great courtesy, “Any cultural disconnect with the local residents, I can explain on their behalf, as long as we can make peace with each other, I believe that everyone will be able to return to Malaya with the harvest and live a good life of their own.”

“With these words from the Lord Lieutenant, those of us who are here are relieved. It’s amazing that the British Empire’s territory is so vast.” Tian Qianqiu exclaimed with a sense of admiration, “We glanced at the sea for almost two months before arriving here, what an unforgettable journey. If only we had a land like this in our country.”

“There always have been except that there are too many people.” Alan Wilson said noncommittally, “If you’re talking about colonies like Newfoundland and such, that doesn’t really fit China’s situation and is destined to be gone.”

Considering the acceptance level of the two men’s hearts, Allen Wilson did not mention this matter, Chinese civilization in the exploration of the sea, basically belongs to the insignificant, and not just lagging behind Europe’s problem, but also lagging behind the civilization of the religion of peace, and even the Hindu civilization, this is not a slur, the fact that this is the case.

The fact that the East Indies are now dominated by the Pacifist faith is a testament to the attainments of the Arabs in navigation. And before the religion of peace, it was Hindu culture that dominated the East Indies.

The fact that Oman ruled Madagascar in Africa and that the Jura Kingdom of India ruled Malacca are facts of historical existence.

“It’s actually more enviable to have a huge homeland than all these lands spread out all over the place.” Alan Wilson has a feeling, civilization development is just like species evolution, not in a certain period of time how strong, but to live as a living fossil, that is the ability.

Of course there has been no change is also doomed to be eliminated, for example, the Egyptian pyramids and Qin Shi Huang’s distance, and Qin Shi Huang’s distance from the twenty-first century is about the same, but Egypt belongs to the kind of eliminated, Egypt bull when the mammoth is not yet extinct? So what! Even if the great emperor still has the late years unknown.

In the evening Allen Wilson made his third broadcast since his arrival, this time with little substance, just expressing good wishes for the future of Newfoundland, instilling some of the chicken soup of the mind that the difficulties are temporary, and finally stating that he himself was about to go to the logging area on the Humber River with a group of Chinese laborers, fulfilling his own promise to eat and live with them and supervise them at the same time.

As the morning sun descended, early the next morning, Alan Wilson began to unpack his bags for the trip to St. Johns Wharf to board the ship and depart with the Chinese workers. After punching a very grounded package and subsequently slinging it behind his back, he pushed open the door and stepped out, a startled expression appearing on his face, “Scared the hell out of me!”

In front of the Governor General’s residence, there were a number of St. John’s residents looking at the showboating Newfoundland Administrator.

At this time, the Governor General was carrying a huge package on his back, what kind of battering ram who went out to work in the latter days, what kind of man he is now.

“All up early ah, when I’m not in St. John’s, if you want to go out to sea to fish must pay attention to safety.” Alan Wilson then collected his shocked expression and greeted these local residents with a smile on his face.

At the same time, his footsteps were not stopping as he walked down the street, towards the wharf of St. Johns, the boat heading to the mouth of the Humber River was already waiting, because he waited on his own, making Allen Wilson feel bad in his heart.

“Governor Wilson!” “Mr. Allen!” Some people could not help but open their mouths to stay when they saw the administrator of Newfoundland in this state.

“Remember to transport supplies, the Chinese workers are not picky eaters, I’ve told them all. Don’t starve us to death then.” Alan Wilson staggered on foot, constantly greeting the growing number of residents without arrogance, “If we die like this, I don’t know if there’s no pension.”

“Mr. Governor!” The young administrator was so good at acting that he succeeded in deceiving the simple inhabitants of Newfoundland, and for a moment did not know what to say.

“Don’t look like that, no one forced me, I took the initiative.” Allen Wilson walked while his mouth was not stopping, walking through the crowd on both sides of the street, “Since there are so many people today, why don’t we sing a song, I’ll start ……”

“God protect the king, may he live forever, God bless the king!” Alan Wilson started easily, and St. John’s, the capital of Newfoundland, and the natives chanted the English national anthem, God Save the King.

It was to this chant that Alan Wilson boarded the ship, not forgetting to wave and shout, “Difficulties are temporary, Newfoundland’s future must be bright.”

Amidst the chants of the residents of St. John’s, the ship’s whistle blew and she slowly pulled away from the dock, and the Governor of British Newfoundland disappeared from sight with the ship.
