How did the colony come from?

Colony is one of the tasks of ancient, primitive and heroic people. When the world was young, many children were born. But now that it is old, it has fewer children, because I might as well say that the new colony is the children of the old country. I think it is best for a colony to be in a virgin land, that is, it is not necessary to uproot the old just because it wants to cultivate the new. Because otherwise, it is not colonization, but extermination of the people. Cultivating a new country is like planting trees: you must first make a plan, prepare to lose money for 20 years, and then make a profit in the end. The main reason why most colonies were destroyed was that they were despicable at the beginning and end of the colonial cause and were eager to make profits. Of course, if quick profits can meet the interests of the colonies, they can't be ignored, but they should be limited to this and can't ask for more.

It is shameful and ominous to accept the scum and criminals of our own as people who transplant new land. Not only that, but this method will also destroy the colony. Because these people will live a life of scum forever, idle away, consume food, and soon get bored, they will write letters to their homeland and discredit the colony. People used as immigrants are gardeners, cultivators, workers, blacksmiths, carpenters, joiners, fishermen, bird catchers, and a few pharmacists, surgeons, chefs and bakers. In the land that we want to colonize, we should first visit everywhere to see what natural and wild foods are available, such as chestnuts, walnuts, jackfruit, olives, dates, plums, cherries and wild honey, and make use of them. Then see what foods in that place can grow and mature quickly within one year, such as parsnips, carrots, radishes, onions, radishes, artichokes, corn and so on. As for wheat, barley and oats, they need too much labor, but you might as well plant some peas and soybeans first, because they need less labor, and because they can be used to make bread and eat as vegetables. In this way, the rice bottom has a great harvest and is also a good dish. More importantly, we will bring many biscuits, oatmeal, flour and so on to the colony at the beginning of the colony until we can get bread. As for livestock and poultry, mainly take those creatures that are not easy to get sick and reproduce fastest, such as pigs, goats, cocks, hens, turkeys, geese, pigeons and so on.

The food consumption at the bottom of the colony should be the same as that of the besieged city. In other words, everyone should have a prescribed consumption. The largest part of the land used for gardens or wheat fields should be used for importing public warehouses. The collected agricultural products should be stored in these public warehouses first, and then distributed according to a fixed quantity. Besides, there should be some fields that any private person can cultivate for himself. Similarly, we should also pay attention to what kind of goods the colonial subsoil is suitable for producing, so that these goods can slightly reduce the burden of the colonial subsoil to some extent (as long as it does not harm the primary cause because of premature time, as mentioned above), such as tobacco leaves at the end of Virginia. In many places, there will only be more forests, so wood can also be regarded as one of the above products. If there are seedlings at the bottom of iron ore and rivers, people can build mills by the river, so iron is a valuable product in places with many forests. Where the climate is suitable, try edible salt. Like this, a hemp, if any, is also a valuable item. There is no shortage of asphalt and tar in places rich in pine trees. Similarly, medicinal materials, incense wood and other things, as long as they are sold in large quantities, will certainly be profitable. Alkali ash, which can be used as soap, and other things that can be found can also benefit from it. But we should not pay too much attention to minerals, because the hope about minerals is very unreliable, which often makes immigrants lazy in other aspects.

As for the rule, it is best to let one person take power, assisted by several senators, and it is best to give them the right to enforce limited martial law. Most importantly, let people benefit from the psychology of living in the wilderness, and always keep the concept of respecting God and serving God in their minds. Colonial governments should not rely too much on parliamentary officials, directors and Committee members living in their home countries. The number of these people should be moderate, and it is better for these people to be noble gentlemen, not businessmen, because businessmen always value the immediate interests. Before the colony is deeply rooted, it is best not to bind it with tariffs. Not only should we not be bound by the tariff base, but we should also give the colonists the freedom to transport their products to places where they can make the most profit-unless there are special reasons to prevent it. Don't send the immigrants to the colonies in batches too soon, so people will be full. On the contrary, we should pay attention to the decrease of the population at the bottom of the group and supplement it in proportion, but we must ensure that the people at the bottom of the group can live and work in peace and contentment, and we must not make them fall into poverty because of the large number.

In some colonies, the health of residents was once greatly endangered because they were built on the seashore and lived in bad places. Therefore, although it can be built in the above-mentioned places at first to avoid inconvenience such as traffic, it will be built on a high place above the river bank for a long time to come, rather than along the river. Colonists should also store a lot of salt, so as to preserve food when necessary to avoid deterioration, which is also related to their health. If you colonize a place with barbarians, don't just win their favor with worthless odds and ends or toys. You should treat them fairly and kindly and take appropriate preventive measures at the same time. You shouldn't help them attack their enemies to please them, but it's good to help them defend themselves when they are attacked by the enemy. In addition, we should often send some of them to colonial countries for sightseeing, so that they can see a better life than themselves and praise this situation when they come back. After the strength of the colony is strengthened, not only men but also women can transplant. In this way, the group can spread from generation to generation, and it will never have to be supplemented from the outside. Abandoning a colony when it has made progress is the greatest sin in the world, because it is not only a shame, but also a homicide that has killed many poor people.
