Dominate the Country
Chapter 965: The New Century of South America
The Indians were boiling, and so was the entire Lieyang Port.
Among the tens of thousands of people in Lieyang Port, Indians accounted for more than half, and everyone shouted their battle slogans loudly. Even many local Chinese people, inspired by the atmosphere, started clamoring along with the Indians.
However, in this violent city, there are still a few sober-minded people, but unfortunately they are not Indians.
Shen Shiying stood in front of the railing on the fifth floor of Lieyang Port, the most luxurious Lieyang Restaurant, overlooking the huge Lieyang Port, with a hot spark flashing in his eyes. Chile is a treasure land for geomantic omen. The Spaniards discovered gold mines in Chile in the 16th century, silver mines in the 17th century, and copper mines in the 18th century. The arid Atacama Desert is a mountain of gold that cannot be completely excavated.
The porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization zone in the central and northern parts of its territory extends for more than 4,000 miles from north to south, extending from the Andes plateau mountains in the north to the coastal mountains south of Santiago in the middle, and then extending eastward to nearly Argentinian border. After several years of hard work, China's mining exploration team has confirmed the extremely rich copper resources hidden in this area. Chile’s copper belt is equivalent to half the length of Chile’s territory. It is located in the Andean porphyry copper belt. After preliminary exploration, more than 200 deposits have been discovered, including five large and super-large deposits. Mostly.
In the vast desert of northern Chile, behind the coastal plateau, a huge saltpeter ore belt stretches for more than a thousand miles long and more than fifty miles wide, but is only 0.5 to 2 meters away from the ground. It contains enough The saltpeter layer is 1 to 3 meters thick. That tonnage is unfathomable!
In 1808, when modern chemistry was just beginning, Shen Shiying could not imagine the possibility of gunpowder without saltpeter. War was inseparable from it. After the huge saltpeter belt is developed, it will be as profitable as copper ore resources, and there are so many guano resources here.
Therefore, despite the fact that the environment in this hellish place in Chile is so bad that even birds don’t lay eggs, countless people are flocking to it and hope that the emperor can reward them with this piece of land. Unfortunately, it is impossible for the emperor to enfeoff this land. The area south of Santiago is still possible. The resource-rich central and northern parts are more likely to be firmly held in the hands of the imperial court.
Just like Chen Gang back then, there was news that the emperor made a promise to the emperor and would seal Panama to him.
Panama is a geomantic treasure. Before the Suez Canal in the west was completely completed, the cabinet began to plan the Panama Canal.
But the result?
Once the emperor died, the emperor had a different look. Now Chen Gang is sealed in the Isthmus of Central America, but that is not Panama. Panama was directly taken over by the emperor, just like Tokyo and Hanjin on the North American continent. I’ve heard that Panama will soon become Panama City.
In the luxurious VIP room on the fifth floor of Lieyang Restaurant, Shen Shiying stood leaning on the railing. The person standing next to him was Zheng Ji. In addition to Zhang Gou, there were two Chinese in casual clothes, one in his forties and the other. Younger, probably in his thirties.
The man in his forties is the local Chinese business president, and the man in his thirties is the chief judge of the court. It is said that he is also a student of Zhu Shihai, a famous law scholar in China.
"General, I have never doubted that the empire can completely conquer America. But there are tens of millions of Indians here. How long will it take us to turn this place into a real Chinese country?" The judge looked at the people below with complicated eyes. The Indians forming the team frowned tightly, not knowing who they were worried about. "It took the Europeans three hundred years to kill the Indians, but we have to assimilate tens of millions of Indians..." Thinking about it is a scary thing.
Before Shen Shiying could speak, Zhang Gou chuckled, shook his head and said: "It's different, very different. Indians are of the yellow race, and it's easier for them to integrate into our society. Moreover, their culture and civilization have been completely eliminated by Westerners. Destroyed. Now is not three hundred years ago. What is left of the Indians today is probably their traditions and customs. It took three hundred years for the Westerners to completely destroy the Indian civilization, which can be said to be artificial. A conflict, a fierce conflict.”
"But we can use gentle means to make them 'human beings', and let the Indians who have no civilization, culture, and even language become 'human beings' again."
"As for the stubbornness and conservatism of the Indians, you think too highly of the Indians." The reason why the Indians in the Americas maintain such fierce conflicts with the Europeans is entirely because the Europeans first rejected the Indians, and it was the Europeans themselves who The Indians pushed to the opposite side.
Zhang Gou didn't know about the Americas in later generations, but to be honest, there is not much comparison between the Americas in later generations. However, Christian civilization became the universal culture of South America in later generations, so the Chinese civilization, which currently has no deep hatred against the Indians, is more likely to become a new civilization here. Chinese can also replace white descendants and mixed-race people as the main ethnic group here.
"Don't underestimate the power of the noble and distinguished ministers at home. If His Majesty's overseas feudal kingdoms are fully launched, the number of Chinese people crossing the ocean from the mainland to South America will not be millions, but tens of millions."
It has been almost thirty-five years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it has been even less than forty years since Chen Han gained power in China. This is already two generations. How powerful could those heroes and nobles who had made great contributions during the founding of the People's Republic of China develop in just forty years relying on their power?
The previous American expeditionary forces were just a small matter. The A family army, the B family army, the C family army, the A family village, the B family village, and the C family village were just the tip of the iceberg of the entire powerful and noble forces.
You must know that in the past forty years, the current emperor has not really taken action to crack down on the powerful and noble families below. Although the latter are also very tactful, their bodies and minds are hung by a "feudal overseas" and they do not pursue unlimited influence and power in the local area, but the huge amount of money needed to build a country drives them to plunge into the business world, and they soon learned to be "agents" without a teacher.
In short, over the past few decades, the power they can connect is extremely huge.
When the South American feudal state is really launched, the huge amount of funds will turn into endless manpower and material resources, and will flow from the mainland to South America continuously. That huge influence can be called a magnitude 10 earthquake on Chen Han's current economic scale.
What a huge force that is, Chen Ming couldn't tell, Shen Shiying couldn't figure it out, Zhang Gou saw only the tip of the iceberg, but they all knew that it would be huge beyond their imagination.
Is the large-scale transfer of tens of millions of people absurd and incredible?
But in the near future of China, it will really unfold, or it is destined to unfold.
Compared with this scene that is destined to become a reality, the "Black Kingdom" plan seems so small.
Zhu Shihai's students just learned about Chen Ming's big plan of "closing the country in South America", but Zhang Gou knew it several years ago. Because he knew it early, he knew more secrets, so he understood how huge a force it was.
Zhang Gou, like Zheng Ji, is very confident in the sinicization of South America. "Compared with that terrible power, tens of millions of Indians are not worth being afraid of."
Shen Shiying nodded seriously. This is indeed the case. The strength accumulated by the nobles and ministers over the years is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Take the Shen family as an example. There are more than 20,000 immigrant families that have signed the agreement. Each family is not a simple family of four or five people. After signing the immigration agreement, the family has a major task, which is to go all out to give birth to sons.
2,300 years ago, Gou Jian, in ten years of population growth, ordered young men not to marry old women, and old men not to marry young wives; if a girl does not marry at the age of seventeen, her parents will be guilty; if a man does not marry at the age of twenty, his parents will be guilty. Those who are about to be spared will be reported to the public, and the public will order doctors to guard them. If a man is born, two pots of wine and a dog will be given; if a girl is born, two pots of wine and a pig will be given; if three people are born, the public will give the mother; if two sons are born, the public will give the food.
The immigrant families in the hands of the Shen family can be said to have a much greater incentive for childbirth than Gou Jian did back then.
Heroic mother is no longer an insignificant title, but a real benefit.
A son is rewarded with a fish, a hen, a bag of rice, and 100 yuan in Huayuan; and a daughter is also rewarded with a fish, a hen, and a bag of rice, but the Huayuan reward is only 50. And if you have a boy and a girl, and you have 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 will be rewarded with 300,000, four children will be rewarded with 400, and so on.
The Shen family alone has more than 150,000 immigrants in their hands, if not 200,000. And what about others? For example, employees of various factories and enterprises under the Shen family, and those who are poor and then 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 possible.
Because the Shen family will offer generous conditions that many people cannot refuse, or all South American fiefdoms can offer favorable immigration policies that far exceed the immigration policies of the court. This is a common agreement they have already reached, and everyone has signed it to prevent someone from breaking the rules by making unscrupulous concessions in order to attract immigrants.
Three years of tax exemption, three years of half tax. Ten acres of land per person, regardless of gender, age or young, do not pay a penny for the land!
This policy easily defeated the imperial court.
Although the Shen family was well prepared, Shen Shiying did not think that the Shen family could take the lead among all the nobles. As far as he knew, some members of the Chen clan had signed a series of "traitorous agreements" with the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce and major banks before the enfeoffment of the country was determined. The result after that would definitely be a good thing for the Shen family. Therefore, among all the nobles, the Shen family's level can only be said to be above average.
However, these newly established vassal states 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 the life of small farmers. And they would not think of going to factories and working for others. This issue was raised by domestic political economists ten years ago.
The current emperor has made the cake of "China" bigger, making China from a corner of East Asia to half the world, allowing people all over the world to have a foothold, and allowing hundreds of millions of people to live a life of food and clothing - as long as there is land to cultivate and the agricultural tax is appropriate, it is difficult for the Chinese to not be rich with their hard work. But this also caused the industrialization of the whole society to have the defect of insufficient production labor.
But Chen Ming's original definition of America, isn't it a place for raw material supply and a super large market?
Shen Shiying looked at the setting sun, which was like the Spanish rule in America. It was about to end, the night was coming, and then a new day was coming.
