Chapter 1006: The New Century in South America
The Indians are boiling, and the whole Lieyang Harbor is boiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Indians account for more than half of the 10,000 people in Lieyang Harbor, and everyone shouts battle slogans that shake the earth. Even many local Chinese, inspired by the atmosphere, also clamor along with the Indians.
However, there are still a few sober-minded people in this rampaging city, but unfortunately they are not Indians.
Shen Shiying stood in front of the railing on the fifth floor of the most luxurious Lieyang Restaurant in Lieyang Port, overlooking the huge Lieyang Harbor, and a scorching spark flashed in his eyes. Chile is a treasure trove of feng shui, with the Spaniards discovering gold in Chile in the 16th century, silver in the 17th century, and copper in the 18th century, and the arid Atacama Desert is a mountain of gold that cannot be dug up.
In the porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold mineralized belt in the central and northern parts of the territory, it continues for more than 4,000 miles from north to south, from the Andean Plateau Mountains in the north to the Coast Mountains south of Santiago in the middle, and then extends eastward to the border near Argentina. After years of hard work, China's mining exploration team has confirmed the extreme abundance of copper deposits hidden in this area. Chile's copper belt, which is equivalent to half the length of Chile's territory, is located in the Andean porphyry copper belt, and after preliminary exploration, more than 200 deposits have been discovered, of which five are large and super-large.
In the vast desert of northern Chile, behind the coastal plateau, the huge saltpeter ore belt stretches for more than 1,000 miles long and more than 50 miles wide, but it is only a little 0.5~2 meters away from the ground, and there is a layer of saltpeter buried 1~3 meters thick. There is no skill in that tonnage!
In 1808, when modern chemistry was just starting, Shen Shiying could not think of the possibility of gunpowder without saltpeter, and war could not be separated from it. After the huge saltpeter belt was developed, it was not inferior to the huge profits of copper ore resources, and there were so many guano resources here.
Therefore, don't look at the hellish environment in Chile, which is bad enough for birds to not lay eggs, but countless people are eager for it, hoping that the emperor will reward this land to themselves. It's a pity that it is impossible for the emperor to divide this land, and the area south of San Diego is still possible, and the resource-rich central and northern parts are more likely to be held by the imperial court in the palm of his hand.
Just like Chen Gang back then, there was news that the emperor made a promise to the Taishang and would give him Panama.
Panama is a treasure of feng shui, and the Suez Canal in the west has not been completely completed, and the cabinet has begun to plot the Panama Canal.
But the result?
As soon as Tai died, the emperor had a different face. Now Chen Gang is sealed in the Isthmus of Central America, but that is not Panama. Panama was taken directly by the emperor, just like Tokyo and Hanjin on the North American continent. It didn't take long for Panama to become Panama City.
In the luxurious VIP room on the fifth floor of the Lieyang Restaurant, Shen Shiying stood against the railing, and the person standing next to him was Zheng Ji, in addition to Zhang Gou, there were two Chinese in casual clothes, one was in his forties, and the other was younger, about thirty years old.
The man in his forties is the president of the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but the man in his thirties is a justice of the court, and it is said that he is also a student of Zhu Shihai, a domestic law master.
"General, I have never doubted that the Empire can conquer the Americas once and for all. But there are tens of millions of Indians here, how long will it take us to turn this place into a real Han land? The judge looked at the Indians who were forming a line below, but his brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know who he was worried about. The Europeans have not exterminated the Indians for 300 years, and we have to assimilate tens of millions of Indians...... "It's a frightening thing to think about."
Before Shen Shiying could speak, Zhang Gou sneered, shook his head and said, "It's different, it's very different." Indians are yellow, and they integrate more easily into our society. Moreover, their culture and civilization have been completely destroyed by Westerners. It's not 300 years ago, and the only thing left of the Indians today is probably tradition and customs. Westerners completely destroyed Indian civilization in 300 years. Then they rejected the Indians as 'people' like them. It can be said that it has artificially created contradictions, fierce contradictions. ”
"But we can use gentle means to make them 'people', so that the Indians who have no civilized culture and even no language can become 'people' again."
"As for the stubborn conservatism of the Indians, you also think too highly of the Indians." The reason why the Indians of the Americas maintained such a violent contradiction with the Europeans was that the Europeans rejected the Indians in the first place, and it was the Europeans themselves who pushed the Indians to the opposite side.
Zhang Gou doesn't know the Americas of later generations, but to be honest, the comparison of the Americas of later generations is not much comparable now. However, Christian civilization became the universal culture of South America in later generations, and the Chinese civilization, which now has no deep hatred with the Indians, is more likely to become a new civilization here. The Chinese can also replace people of white descent and mestizos as the majority ethnic group here.
"Don't underestimate the energy of the nobles and nobles in the country. If His Majesty's overseas feudalism is completely unfolded, the number of Chinese who have crossed the ocean from the mainland to South America will not be a few million, but tens of millions. ”
It has been almost 35 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Chen Han has been in power in Middle-earth for 40 years, which is already two generations. How much power can those heroes and nobles of the founding of the country develop in 40 years by relying on power?
The previous dispatch of troops from the Americas was just a trivial matter, one by one, one by one, by A, B, C, by A, B, and C, all of which were the tip of the iceberg of the entire elite forces.
You must know that in the past forty years, His Majesty the current Emperor has not done much to knock on the powerful families below. Although the latter is also very interesting, one by one body and mind are hung by a 'feudal overseas', and there is no unlimited pursuit of influence and influence in the local area, but the massive amount of money required for the establishment of the country drove them to plunge into the commercial sea, and soon learned to be an 'agent' without a teacher.
In short, in the past few decades, the power they can connect is incomparably huge.
When the closure of South America really unfolded, a huge amount of money turned into endless manpower and material resources, which continued to flow from the mainland to South America. That huge influence on Chen Han's current economic scale can be called a ten-magnitude earthquake.
What a huge power it was, Chen Ming couldn't say for sure, Shen Shiying couldn't understand it, what Zhang Gou saw was just the tip of the iceberg, but they all knew that it would be huge beyond their imagination.
Isn't the great transfer of tens of millions of people absurd and incredible?
But in the near future in China, it will really unfold, or rather, it is destined to unfold.
Compared to this scene that is destined to become a reality, the 'Black Kingdom' project is so small.
Zhu Shihai's students had just learned about Chen Ming's big plan to 'seal the country in South America', but Zhang Gou had known about it several years earlier. It was also because he knew earlier that he knew more secrets, so he realized what a huge force it was.
Zhang Gou, like Zheng Ji, is very confident in Sinicizing South America. "Tens of millions of Indians are not worth being afraid of compared to that terrible force."
Shen Shiying nodded seriously. This is indeed the case. The strength accumulated by the noble ministers over the years is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Take their Shen family as an example, there are more than 20,000 immigrant families who have signed the agreement, and each family is not simply four or five people, and the family after signing the immigration agreement has a major task, that is, to go all out to give birth to a son.
Gou Jian 2,300 years ago, ten years of life and reunion, so that the strong did not take the old woman, so that the old man did not take the strong wife; If a woman is seventeen and does not marry, her parents are guilty; If the husband does not take twenty, his parents are guilty. Those who are exempted will be sued, and the public will be ordered to keep them. gave birth to a husband, two pots of wine, and a dog; gave birth to a woman, two pots of wine, and a dolphin; gave birth to three people, male and female; gave birth to two sons, and the husband was hungry with him.
And the immigrant families in the hands of the Shen family can be said to reward childbirth much more than the Gou Jian back then.
Heroic mother is no longer an indifferent title, but a tangible benefit.
Giving birth to a son rewards a fish, a hen, a bag of rice, and 100 Chinese dollars; And the daughter is rewarded with a fish, a hen, and a bag of rice, but Huayuan is only rewarded with 50. And if you give birth to a boy and a girl, there is a third child, two fish, two chickens, a bag of rice and a bag of noodles, in addition to these basic rewards, there are also real money. Three children are rewarded with three hundred, four children are rewarded with four hundred, and so on.
The Shen family is an immigrant in his hands, not 200,000 but more than 150,000. And what about the others? For example, the employees of various factories and enterprises under the Shen family, as well as those whose families are poor and are tempted by the Shen family, the entire Shen family can easily transport 200,000 people to South America.
As for the final population, Shen Shiying estimated that 300,000 people are also possible.
Because the Shen family will give generous conditions that many people can't refuse, or that all South American feudals can give Youwo's immigration policy that far exceeds the imperial court's immigration policy. This is a common agreement that they have unified, and everyone has signed it, to prevent someone from breaking the rules in order to win over immigrants.
Tax exemption for three years, half tax for three years. Ten acres of land for one person, regardless of men, women and children, don't buy a penny of land!
This policy easily beat the imperial court.
Although the Shen family's preparations were very sufficient, Shen Shiying did not think that the Shen family could dominate among all the noble ministers. As far as he knew, some clans surnamed Chen had already signed a series of 'traitorous agreements' with the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce and major banks before the closure of the country was decided. The results after that will definitely be good for the Shen family. Therefore, among the entire noble ministers, the Shen family's level can only be said to be above the middle.
It's just that these new subject countries will face a big drawback, the lack of labor for industrial development.
Because all immigrant families have enough land to cultivate, they can easily live as small farmers. I don't think of going into a factory and working for someone else. This question was raised by domestic political economists ten years ago.
The current emperor has made the cake of 'China' bigger, turning China from a corner of East Asia into half the world, giving the people of the whole world a foothold, and allowing hundreds of millions of people to live a life of food and clothing -- as long as there is land to grow and agricultural taxes are appropriate, it is difficult to get rich with the industriousness of the Chinese. However, this has also caused the industrialization of the whole society to produce the defect of insufficient production labor.
But Chen Ming's original definition of the Americas is not a raw material supply area, a super big market?
Shen Shiying looked at the remnant sun that was about to set, which was like Spanish rule in the Americas. It's coming to an end, the night is coming, and a new day is coming.
