Nearly 25 million pounds of papermaking potential are used to make kraft paper every year, which seems a bit wasteful. After all, the current industrial production capacity of Beihai Country does not use so much wrapping paper. It can even be said that the Beihai industry has not really started yet.
However, these potentials cannot be wasted. So, after thinking about it, Marin wrote back to Tara. Not only was a reward issued (Tara also had a reward), but a task was also given - to study the use of bagasse to make thin papyrus.
Scrap paper, as we all know, is used to wipe PP. In Europe at present, paper is expensive and tense. Therefore, everyone uses wood chips when going to the toilet. However, wood chips are used repeatedly... Therefore, the ancients suffered from more hemorrhoids, and there is even a saying that "nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids". It is said that Zheng Jing, the son of the great hero Zheng Chenggong, died of hemorrhoids, and died of pain. After his death, the Zheng family army quickly fell and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty... It can also be said that Kang Mazi unified Taiwan Island by relying on hemorrhoids. Of course, the help of Feng Xifan and other youngsters is indispensable for this...
For the safety of the chrysanthemums of the people, Marin felt that it would be better to mass-produce toilet paper. Using wood pulp to make straw paper is too wasteful. Of course, the Marin family and the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom are currently using this kind of paper as toilet paper. After all, no one wants to get hemorrhoids. Just imagine, if a general who rides a horse gets hemorrhoids, he will die, and he won't even be able to ride a horse...
Therefore, Marin gave Tara a death order—he must produce a soft papyrus that would not hurt the chrysanthemum as soon as possible. They are packed in kraft paper bags and shipped back to China after production.
After writing the reply, Marin took the kraft paper made of sugar cane bagasse and came to the conference room to show it to the arguing subordinates.
Seeing the strong kraft paper, everyone stopped talking. Then, everyone was surprised to learn that the Cuban sugarcane land had expanded to 100,000 acres, and it was expected to produce 40 million pounds of sugar a year. You know, when there were only 10,000 mu of sugarcane land, the annual output of sucrose was 4 million pounds, and everyone didn't think it was a big deal. But when it was raised to 40 million pounds, everyone was shocked-no wonder Marin had the confidence to distribute sugar biscuits to the soldiers!
However, in normal times, the ministers still feel that it is better not to be so extravagant. Therefore, the final decision is - during wartime and high-intensity drills, soldiers can be provided with sugar-sweetened biscuits. Other times, only plain compressed biscuits are served. Or, simply eat black bread. After all, compressed biscuits are only used when marching and fighting.
In addition to the kraft paper made of bagasse, Marin happily took out the authentic spirit brewed from sugar cane-caramel-flavored rum!
The civil servants didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the military generals loved this caramel-flavored authentic rum. Then, the officials present were divided into two factions—the civil servants supported the low-alcohol Erguotou with maple syrup, that is, the royal salute; while the generals supported the authentic caramel-flavored rum...
Subsequently,
The two factions quarreled like the tofu-brained sweet party and salty party. Fortunately, the two sides were relatively restrained and did not do anything...
However, the proposal to expand sugarcane cultivation was passed unanimously. But the starting point of the civil official faction and the military general faction are different - the civil official faction thinks that kraft paper made from sugarcane bagasse is good for material preservation; while the military general faction simply likes caramel-flavored strong rum...
It just so happened that the North Sea State stopped producing grain and wine because it was preparing to accept immigrants from the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The generals are obviously not happy about the suspension of production of spirits. Although the spirits reserve is still sufficient for the time being, there is no guarantee that there will be a shortage of spirits someday. Therefore, being able to have a new source of spirits production is also a spiritual comfort for them, so that they will not have a sense of crisis that "there will be no more spirits in the future".
The Beihai Kingdom started as a mercenary, and Marin bloodbathed the old aristocratic forces. Therefore, in Beihai State, the generals at the grassroots level are dominant. The civil servant group is relatively weak. Therefore, after learning that Cuba can stably produce a large amount of rum, under the strong request of the generals group, Marin made a plan to expand the Cuban sugarcane planting area to more than 500,000 mu, and use a large amount of sugarcane to brew rum s plan.
In fact, Marin didn't realize that his plan was still conservative. Because, he allocated 100,000 of the 300,000 Taino people who were originally scheduled to immigrate to the North American continent to the Cuban colony. As a result, these 100,000 Tainos, together with the original tens of thousands of immigrants and black slaves, opened up more than 1 million acres of sugarcane land in Cuba. Then, countless cane sugar and rum were produced.
...
After unifying the thoughts of his subjects, the most important thing for Marin was to start training. In addition to the dragoons organized by three thousand musket guards, Marin also mobilized 5,000 Cossack cavalry and 2,000 black-shirted knights for joint training.
The 2,000 black-shirted knights are not the 2,000 black-shirted knights under Steindorf, but the descendants of the 2,000 old black-shirted knights.
Most of the 2,000 black-shirted knights in Steindorf's Third Legion were now middle-aged. Their tactical level is naturally top-notch. However, physical fitness and endurance inevitably dropped a lot.
This long-distance raid has a journey of more than 2,500 kilometers. Using a bunch of middle-aged uncles, it seems that the intensity is too high for them. Therefore, we can only choose the younger generation, those who recover quickly in physical strength, the requirement is not to exceed 30 years old.
Finally, Steindorf, the head of the legion, came up with a trick—let the descendants of the 2,000 black-shirted knights go up!
These black shirt knights are generally over 40 years old. Many of them have sons who are around 20 years old. Even if the son is still young, there are also nephews who are over 20 years old, which is the age of fighting.
Moreover, because their salary is high, and their hometown is very poor. Therefore, their family members, even brothers' families, basically moved to Beihai country. Moreover, all live close to where they are stationed.
As their own children or nephews, these old black shirt knights must not hesitate to teach them their own combat skills. Therefore, when I heard that Marin asked to train a group of young black-shirted knights, the descendants of these black-shirted knights were pulled out and sent to Marin.
These veterans who have been with Marin for a long time know one thing - fighting with Marin is very stable!
Why? It's not how brave and good Marin is, but Marin is...very stable...this is the official statement...
Well, to put it another way, I am afraid of death...
People who are afraid of death like to keep a lot of hands in battle, and make perfect preparations before the battle. Fighting with such a person, it is difficult to lose and die...
Moreover, these veterans know very well that Beihai has kept too many secrets of military technology. Once it is brought out during the war, unfamiliar opponents will definitely suffer a lot!
Therefore, fighting with such a monarch, you don't have to worry about your life or your military achievements!
Such a good thing, after these veterans heard about it, they broke their heads and wanted to send their nephews to Marin, so that they could have a military background.
Then, the 2000 young version of the black shirt knight was sent to Marin at an extremely fast speed. Even, when it made Marin feel exaggerated-these kids even prepared their own horses and chain armor...
Except for the firearms that are strictly controlled by the laws of the North Sea Kingdom, they did not bring their own. The children directly prepared their horses and chain mail. At that time, Marin only needs to distribute carbines and ordinary riding horses for them to transfer.
In fact, although the nephews and nephews of these old black-shirted knights do not personally own military spring-up pistols, they often mix with the military camp, and in the name of "Third Army Reserves", they often go to the Third Army's shooting range for training. , using a wind-up ignition carbine on horseback can also have a good hit rate while riding a horse, saving the trouble of training.
Therefore, Marin picked up the young version of the black-shirted knight suitable for 2000 at once. Their only shortcoming is probably the lack of actual combat experience. No, Marin took them along with the dragoons and Cossack cavalry in the territory of Beihai for long-distance training.
Even, Marin will arrange the "Blue Army" to act as an opponent in the middle, and will specially ambush the children in the training, and give them lessons. Sure enough, at the beginning, the children who were "ambushed" were in chaos. In actual combat, it would have collapsed long ago, and many people would die. Fortunately, it was an exercise. After the number of times, these children became accustomed to being ambushed, and formulated a variety of countermeasures...
