MTL - Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner-Chapter 6 I'm going to New York
Flick gave Tangning an admiring look, then continued, "I don't mean to give them a batch of black slaves for nothing, but to pick a group of black slaves who are loyal to us and whom we can trust, so that they can be those underground railways. When the members take them away, they can leave marks for us along the way, so that we know their route and all their strongholds at once."
Hearing this, Carter couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, a good way, a good way, this is really a good way! Yes, since we can't find their stronghold and route, then we can wait for them to tell us. what."
The rest of the people also praised Frick's method, but then everyone began to worry again in the second step, because although everyone has a lot of black slaves, there are very few loyal enough. At this time, Frick He began to accuse: "Hey, I told you a long time ago, don't be so harsh on black slaves, they are all our money-making tools, you tortured them all to death, then who will work for us? Are you going to do it yourself? Do you grow cotton? And although these black slaves are not human, they are all money. A black slave costs three or four hundred dollars. If you kill one, you will lose three or four hundred dollars. Okay, Now let's gather together and see how many there are!"
After negotiating how many black slaves each family would send and for a joint defense, the meeting was basically over, but at this moment, Tangning suddenly stood up and said, "Actually, we still have someone who can fundamentally solve this problem. Method!"
Because of Tangning's support for him just now, Flick decided to give him a chance: "Oh, little Tangning, tell me, is there a good way to solve this problem fundamentally!"
Tangning pondered for a while and then said, "I think so, the reason why these underground railways can abduct the black slaves from us is because the black slaves believe their nonsense and believe that as long as they reach the north, they will have a good life. But is it really like this? Are the workers under the northern factory owners really better off than the black slaves in the plantation?"
Tangning's words stirred the hearts of many slave owners, and they all shouted, "How is this possible? How many workers starve to death or freeze to death every year without enough food, but there is no such thing as our black slaves. ?!"
"There are also those workers who will be fired immediately once they are old or disabled, but how can we have such black slaves? Not only will they not be driven out, but we will arrange easy jobs for them. So we have more conscience than those factory owners!" (This is true, but it's not that the slave owners are good-hearted, but if they don't do this, other young black slaves will see it in the old black slaves. The shadow of their own future, so there is a sense of resistance and opposition, so the slave owners have to do it, of course, there are not many old black slaves, because most of them will not live to old age... )
"That's right, and our cotton planting has been busy for a while. It's not like in a factory, where you can't be idle every day, and many people are exhausted to death!"
"..."
After everyone had finished talking, Tangning concluded, "The problem now is that the black slaves don't know the situation, so as long as we make it clear to them, I don't think the black slaves will be caught by those underground railways. If you are bewitched, you will naturally not go with them, so the trick of the underground railway will be in vain!"
"But if we tell the black slaves this, can they believe it?" Carter questioned.
"They may not believe what we said, but we can go to the north and find a few black slaves who were abducted by the underground railway to the north to work in factories. Let them come forward and tell the truth. Do you think the black slaves will not believe it?" 's answer.
Flick applauded, "Good idea, good idea, little Tangning, you really have some skills. No wonder Old Tangning is so relieved to hand over the property to you. Okay, I'll send someone to the north to find some black slaves like this!"
"Mr. Frick, why don't you leave this task to me, just as I plan to go to New York after the cotton picking is over!" Tangning volunteered to apply.
"Alright, then please!"
Back at the manor, Downing ordered Mike and Pascal's group of supervisors to step up their supervision of the black slaves, striving to complete the cotton picking work as soon as possible, and then returned to the bedroom to continue training Isabel and Caroline.
After a fierce battle, Tangning smoked a cigar and asked the two girls who were helping him clean up with his small mouth, "Two little darlings, do you want to go to New York with me?"
"You, you mean to take us to New York?" Isabelle asked in surprise. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Tangning nodded and replied, "That's right, I'm going to New York for two major events in a while, and I may have to stay there for a while, so how can I be without you two little beauties? What? You don't want to go. ?"
Isabel nodded again and again and replied, "I would like to go, I would like to go, how could I not go? I heard that New York is more lively than New Orleans, but we didn't expect you to take us there, so we were pleasantly surprised!"
"New York may indeed be a bit more lively, but life is definitely not as comfortable as we are!" In fact, what Tangning said was the truth. As a worker at the bottom, it is natural to have a hard life. Even capitalists and factory owners can live a good life. Not as good as a manor owner like Tangning, because the cotton business in the past two years has been really good. As long as there is cotton, there is no need to worry about no one harvesting it. Therefore, the slave owners in the south almost make money by lying down!
But the US industry is still in the development stage at this time, at least it is incomparable with the UK. If it does not formulate a protective tariff policy, let alone other countries grab the market, even the domestic market of the United States can be kept.
Therefore, for the factory owners in the north, the tariffs on British industrial products must be raised, otherwise they cannot survive, but once the tariffs are raised, the UK will increase the tariffs on cotton accordingly. This is the root cause of the Civil War.
"By the way, master, what are you going to do in New York this time?" Caroline asked curiously.
"Find someone!" Tangning answered word by word, and then explained, "First of all, we need to find a group of black slaves who were abducted from the south to work in the north, and then we need to find a guy named Henry Goebbels!"
