Chapter 143: The Road to Colonization
Of course, this is not enough, there are still many rich people who have no place to put their spare money, so Yu Xiaotian introduced a new policy, that is, to allow these rich people, some of the colonies they have occupied so far to buy land, and in the colonies, the tax policy on land is completely different from the tax policy in the local country.
If a large amount of land is purchased in the colony, the tax amount is fixed at a certain rate, the tax is very low compared to the domestic one, and the tax collection method is not used, which allows the wealthy to buy more land and use it for higher profits.
As soon as this policy was introduced, it was immediately welcomed by many wealthy people, who were worried that they had no place to invest their spare money, and now the imperial court has opened such an opening, which just satisfies the Chinese's desire for land possession.
Although many people are a little reluctant to buy land in the colonies, the national credibility of the Great China and North Korea has now been tested, and there are always the first people in the world who dare to eat crabs, so some rich people went to the newly occupied Luzon to tentatively buy land there, and by the way, bought some captured slaves to cultivate the land for them.
When the first group of people succeeded in purchasing land in the colony, the administration of the colony also implemented a policy of low land taxes, so this group immediately began to buy more land to expand their farms in the colony.
There were no impermeable walls, and the first people to buy land in the colonies were successful, and the news immediately began to spread throughout the country.
So more and more wealthy people began to flock to the colonies to buy land and set up their own private farms or estates, and by the way, some small craftsmen came to start trading there.
In the sixth year of Chengtian, the Wa Kingdom was destroyed, and Yu Xiaotian renamed the Wa Kingdom as Donghai Province, but the status was divided into colonies, and the Chinese were allowed to go there to buy land.
So it immediately attracted a lot of rich people, flocked to it, and ran to the Donghai Province to enclose the land.
Yu Xiaotian's nose was crooked at this time, and at the same time, the noses of the household officials were also crooked, including the noses of the bank.
Because after conquering these colonies, just by selling these lands, the income obtained is a lot of income, which is the war dividend, so that the Great China and North Korea rely on these land sales income alone, and the previous Ming Dynasty's annual financial revenue will be doubled a few times.
Of course, the household department is happy, and the bank is also happy, because the income of the household department must be controlled in the state-owned banks, and the money can be lent out and made a profit when it is idle and useless many times.
And Yu Xiaotian is happy, he now has money in hand, he can invest more in infrastructure, recruit more sailors, build more warships, cast more cannons, and build more state-owned factories.
Therefore, the financial predicament of Dazhong finally began to ease after the first colonies began to sell, and the slave trade was also quite profitable.
Yu Xiaotian thinks that he is not the kind of cruel person, but that depends on who is right, he loves the Chinese very much, but for those black-skinned monkeys and slaves, he is not so kind, the land used to be theirs, and now it is robbed by Yu Xiaotian's Great Zhongchao, it is definitely not appropriate to drive them out of their land, and it is certainly not appropriate to kill them all, which will affect the development of the colony and make the colony Yan zhòng lack labor.
So these black-skinned monkeys have the value of being used again, okay! Then sell them to the farmers who have come to the colonies to buy land, and let the farmers manage them and use them to cultivate the land!
Of course, the farmers who went to the colonies to buy land needed someone to cultivate the land for them, but they could not absorb much labor in the country at present, and it happened that the colonial administrators had a large number of slaves captured by the military for them to buy and use.
Slaves and recruited tenants are not the same, it seems that the price is a little higher when buying, and the investment seems to be relatively large, but it is a one-and-done thing, buying back slaves, you can use them until they die, and even the children they give birth to, and continue to be slaves of their family, you can continue to use them, and use them for generations, which is a very cost-effective thing.
The Chinese are very good at small calculations, this truth can be understood as soon as you think about it, so immediately the slave trade began to become extremely hot, and the price was absolutely not low, and even some pirates or European merchants discovered this business opportunity, and began to arrest slaves everywhere, sell them to the officials of the Great China and North Korea at a low price, and then sell them to those farmers through the officials of the Great China and North Korea.
Later, even some local landlords saw this opportunity, so they went to buy slaves and replace their tenants to farm for them, which was more cost-effective than them giving land to tenants and collecting some rent.
This also led to the emergence of a new problem, some tenants who had no land to farm and had to rely on tenants to rent the landlord's land for farming, because the landlord's owner had now purchased slaves and replaced them in farming, causing them to lose their jobs again and lose their source of livelihood.
In this way, it has added unstable factors to Dazhong, and the tenant farmers who have lost their source of livelihood and cannot make a living naturally have to find a way to survive.
But Yu Xiaotian quickly came up with a new way to deal with this situation, aren't the tenant farmers unemployed? And don't they have a very high desire for land?
It doesn't matter, now Dazhong is a colony, and in Liaodong and Mongolia, Yu Xiaotian is also encouraging immigrants, temporarily implementing some preferential measures for land tax collection, and even not collecting land taxes for the time being, as long as someone is willing to go over to farm and develop.
Now there are still a lot of landless people in the country, and industry and commerce can't absorb so many people for a while, so it doesn't matter, sign an agreement, borrow some long-term descendants from the state-owned banks in China, and transport them to the colonies or Liaodong Mongolia and other places to buy land, and the land endowment is still very favorable, even if the climate is cold and the frost-free period is short, as long as you are willing to work hard to farm and cultivate more farmland, it is still much better than being a tenant.
Therefore, in this way, the peasants who lost their land also refound the land they could rely on to survive, which also greatly promoted the speed of immigration from the Guannai to the Guanwai, and a large number of peasants began to move to the Guanwai, purchase land, and carry out cultivation and development, which greatly filled the Han population in those large and medium-sized territories outside the Guan...... I won't explain much.
Therefore, the slave trade also made the Dazhong Dynasty make a lot of money, which also led Yu Xiaotian to later give Meng Fei an order, in Donghai Province, unless those who tried to resist were treated, under normal circumstances, they should no longer be wantonly slaughtered, and for those who tried to resist, they were arrested and turned into Japanese slaves, and transported back to China to be sold, which was more cost-effective than killing them and finding someone to bury them.
So this saved a large number of the remaining Japanese people in the Japanese country, and finally escaped death, was loaded into a slave ship, stuffed like canned sardines, and transported back to China.
Later, the number of slave ships was insufficient, so they simply put into use the ships that used to transport large animals, and transported these Japanese slaves back to the country for sale as if they were transporting large animals, or simply pulled them to Luzon to sell, in short, the Japanese could not continue to stay in Donghai Province, and they had to completely clean up this bullshit Yamato nation from the roots.
As for the need for slaves to serve as laborers in Donghai Province in the future, then it doesn't matter, just catch black-skinned monkeys from Southeast Asia! It doesn't matter if you really can't go to Africa to catch black slaves.
The entire colonial history is actually the history of blood and tears of some weak and small peoples, and the reason why the European powers in later generations got rich was not also by relying on this way to get rich? Therefore, Yu Xiaotian decided to ignore his conscience and also take this road, as long as the Chinese can stand on this earth in the future, then it doesn't matter if he bears some infamy in the future.
With the complete victory of the war against the Japanese, a large number of Japanese slaves began to be transported back to China, and the infrastructure construction in various places began to enter the fast lane at this time, obtaining a large number of free labor, road construction and river repair projects, solving the problem of insufficient manpower in the past, and solving the problem that the people must be requisitioned to carry out construction during the agricultural slack time.
Now with a large number of Japanese slaves, these projects can be fully rolled out, uninterrupted construction, and the construction progress has also been greatly improved.
Only in the second half of the sixth year of Chengtian, in this half year, all parts of the country, especially in the north, started the construction of hundreds of roads, invested a large number of Japanese slaves, carried out construction on the construction site, started to repair the mileage of official roads, reached thousands of miles, and repaired thousands of miles of rivers.
And the government's investment can be said to be very little, anyway, the Japanese slaves are not considered people, just give something that normal people don't eat, starve and don't die, and bury it when you're tired, it's not a pity to use it anyway.
It's just that the military and army are a little unhappy about this, they have to send troops to the construction site to supervise these Japanese slaves, so that they don't make trouble, and they don't look like soldiers all day long, but like foremen.
The slaves are not all docile, there must be people making trouble, then well, anyway, the knife handle is in the hands of our Chinese, and the trouble will be slaughtered and pulled down, and they must be slaughtered by the most cruel means, as for skinning alive, lighting the sky lantern, chopping off the hands and feet and hanging them alive and starving to death, let the overseers toss it.
At first, many officials in the Dazhong government were opposed to the fact that Yu Xiaotian launched a foreign war for many years, believing that this would cost the people and money, and also increased the financial burden of the Dazhong and DPRK, and they were worried that if they did so for a long time, they would drag down the Dazhong DPRK and lead the DPRK into chaos again.
