Chapter 221 Suffer first and Nigg
January 11, 1870.
Hohenzollern Castle, in the garden.
"One hundred and eleven, one hundred and twelve, one hundred and thirteen..."
Ernst gritted his teeth and counted the number of push-ups with difficulty, his white cotton vest was soaked in sweat.
"Three hundred!"
"Huhu... This challenge is still too difficult for me!" Ernst gasped and said to the coach.
His hands were propped up on his thighs. At this moment, sweat was pouring down on his forehead. Tom passed the towel in time, and Ernst took the towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
"Your Highness, it is already very good for you to persevere. I am afraid that this kind of perseverance is difficult for ordinary people!" The coach commented on the side.
"Coach Lovett, you're flattering me too much. If no one supervises me, I won't be able to persevere. Only people with a little money like me will do such boring things."
Some time ago, Ernst looked in the mirror and found that he had gained a lot of weight, which was a bolt from the blue for Ernst.
In my previous life, I was always of a normal figure, but after transmigrating, I gained a lot of fat because of the good food and lack of exercise.
By the end of this year, Ernst will be 20 years old. He is currently 178 cm tall, and it is estimated that he will not grow any longer. Ernst himself cannot control this.
Prince Constantine's appearance can't be said to be ugly, but it can also be said to be mediocre. Ernst has made a slight breakthrough in Prince Constantine's appearance.
In addition to being relatively young, the appearance of people in this era is above the middle. It can be said that Ernst has temperament and spirit, but he has nothing to do with handsome.
On this basis, the impact of weight on Ernst is too great. If you are a little fat, you will not look good. However, Ernst is self-aware and knows that he does not have the perseverance, so he hired a professional to tailor a body for himself. Set of weight loss programs.
"Your Highness, in fact, your figure is not bad among nobles. There is no need to engage in so-called 'weight loss'." Tom said.
"I don't understand. My aesthetics are different from ordinary people. Only I think it looks good. As for other people's standards, it doesn't work for me. My life is to be satisfied with myself, not to follow the crowd."
Hearing what Ernst said, Tom stopped trying to persuade him. In Tom’s opinion, Ernst was asking for trouble. Before losing weight, Ernst’s figure was like that of Prince Constantine. It is very stable.
If Ernst knew Tom's inner thoughts, he might be depressed for a while. Prince Constantine is not stable, but he is indeed a little heavy, and his face is almost caked.
…
"Jingle Bell…"
"Your Highness, His Majesty's call!" A servant came to the garden and reported to Ernst.
Ernst sent Tom and the coach away, went to the telephone room and took the phone in the operator's hand.
"You wait outside the door first, and come in if I call you."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The telephone operator closed the door with ease.
"Hey, father, what can I do for you?"
"Ernst, I have something to ask your opinion about the population of East Africa."
Hearing this, Ernst concentrated his attention. The population of East Africa has always been a major concern of Ernst.
"Father, what do you say?"
"It's like this. In 1869, the total number of newborn children in East Africa was more than 200,000. I think you know this number, but I am afraid that the number of newborns in East Africa will break through a new high this year. According to reports from governments at all levels, we can now roughly determine the number of newborns this year. The number of newborns is likely to exceed 500,000!"
"Isn't this a good thing? Father!" Ernst asked puzzled.
"It seems that you still don't understand the seriousness of the matter. Five hundred thousand is just a conservative math. This number may be 600,000, 700,000, or even more. The number of households in East Africa is more than 1.11 million, excluding In addition to the families that just gave birth last year, there are still more than 900,000 households. These more than 900,000 households are likely to have children this year, and some families even have a second child or even a third child. If you follow this trend and think about the next two How many children will be in East Africa in ten years?"
"That's really a lot!" Ernst fell silent after speaking.
"It's not just a little bit too much. For these families, we assume that each family will have at least five children in the next 20 years. If new immigrants are added, the population of East Africa will definitely exceed 10 million by 1890. It won't even take 20 years, ten years." Time is enough."
"Father, what do you think of this problem?"
"I mean, should there be administrative intervention in East Africa's population to make them have fewer children?"
"That's absolutely impossible!" Ernst resolutely objected, "It's easy to correct people's concept of fertility, but it will be troublesome if you think about it in the future, so we must not use administrative means to intervene in the population of East Africa."
Ernst is a staunch anti-family planning faction. This is related to his own life experience in his previous life. If family planning was enforced, Ernst would not have been born in his previous life. Even so, the Ernst family was still fined a large sum. Money, people were generally very poor at that time, so Ernst’s family’s slightly valuable belongings were evacuated, and later the country became rich, no one wanted to give birth to people, and Ernst himself even Never married.
"Uh... didn't you ask me to share my opinion! I'll just say it casually." Konstantin didn't expect Ernst to object so fiercely.
"Father, since the people in East Africa are very interested in giving birth, let them be born. As long as the children grow up in the past 20 years, they will be the future of East Africa. By then, the population of East Africa will not be a problem. It just happens that mixed-race families The proportion is the highest, and this is the embryonic form of the German nation in East Africa," Ernst said.
"I know, you have always emphasized that population is the cornerstone of a country, and a larger population is the cornerstone of a strong country, but the education and support of so many children is a heavy burden for East Africa!"
Ernst thought about it carefully, and said to Prince Constantine: "Father, our childcare costs in East Africa are based on the rural areas of the world, not Europe. I don't think East Africa should worry about this population growth. Education issues, we East Africa has poor education. The root cause at the beginning was to liberate the labor force in East Africa and allow women to participate in more labor tasks. East Africa has a small industrial scale and does not need so many educated people. Therefore, we have to deal with the issue of compulsory education. It is completely possible to be more flexible. Schools in East Africa now have a small class system. The age of these newborns will start in about four or five years. To solve the shortage of teachers in East Africa, it is enough to read according to the textbook anyway, and the requirements do not need to be too high.
The most important problem facing East Africa now is how to raise so many newborns. My personal opinion is to make women completely housewives and no longer participate in agricultural production activities. It is not difficult for a mother to bring five or six children , also responsible for food and clothing. As for the lack of agricultural population, let's use black people to make up for it! "
After all, the key to solving the problem in the end is "labor". The black slaves in East Africa only have adult males, and they are not afraid of their infinite reproduction. They can only exist in East Africa for one generation. Sharing agricultural work with them is equivalent to letting They use their own generation to support the generation of newborns in East Africa. When these newborns in East Africa grow up, that is when the "farm tools" retire from East Africa.
This matter is cruel, but if the level of mechanization cannot be improved, we can only suffer from Nig first. Ernst promises that after finding a new tool to replace Nig, he will help them make important contributions to the construction of East Africa in advance. The kind-hearted people sent him back to his "hometown".
