Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1517: Conflicting interests between home and overseas territories

Many policies in the overseas territories of the Datang Empire are very strict.

Culturally, it is natural to adopt the extinction of the local culture, from words to books to clothing, if it can be extinct, it will never be left, and it will be replaced by the Tang culture.

As for propaganda, not to mention, any unofficial newspapers, publishing houses, bookstores, etc. are prohibited. Anyway, anything related to paper and text is not allowed except official ones.

In the overseas territories, all books published by non-Imperial official publishing houses are all banned books, and the sale of privately run books is also prohibited.

In terms of education, restricted education is adopted. The Empire will set up government-run primary schools in overseas territories to study for the children of the immigrant citizens of the Empire.

However, it is limited to primary schools, and the government will not set up secondary education institutions such as secondary schools in overseas territories.

And unlike the empire that encourages private education in the country, in the overseas territories, the empire prohibits private education, and does not allow the private sector to run schools on its own.

After receiving primary education, the citizens of the empire in the overseas territories need to return to the territory of the empire to attend secondary school if they want to study further. For this reason, the empire has paired with the overseas territories for the state capitals of several coastal provinces. One docking, such as Guangzhou House, docking is Malacca State.

After the people of the Empire in Malacca have finished primary school, they can report directly to the middle school in Guangzhou.

However, the schools in these overseas territories are only open to the children of ordinary imperial subjects, and are not open to any non-imperial subjects.

Datang never played with international students. The empire's education system and modern scientific knowledge were only open to the people of the empire. As for those natives, it's better to continue to be ignorant.

At the same time, the government-run primary schools in these overseas territories are not open to the children of officials.

However, this does not mean direct prohibition. The reason why it is not open to the children of officials is purely because the Ministry of Officials clearly stipulates: In order to protect the safety of the minor children of imperial officials, and to solve the worries of officials who go to overseas territories, it is specially stipulated that imperial officials go to When serving in overseas territories, underage girls are not allowed to accompany them.

The minor children of officials are not allowed to go to overseas territories, and naturally there is no need to receive education in overseas territories.

In terms of technical control, this is even more stringent. The establishment of a local factory requires registration and approval, even for companies affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises and the Royal Assets Division.

Moreover, it is impossible for a factory with a larger number of workers to be approved. In fact, only traditional handicraft industries can be approved. These are only handicraft workshops, not modern factories.

More importantly, in the eyes of the Import and Export Committee, it is stipulated that institutions or individuals in overseas territories, even if the military transports any type of machinery and equipment from the mainland to overseas, need to apply for and obtain approval from the Import and Export Committee, even if it is just a screw. .

Well, in fact, there is no need to apply, because 100% will not approve. Since the establishment of the Import and Export Committee, it has been nearly 20 years, but it has never approved the export of even a single screw.

When the Datang Army and Navy landed in Malacca, the Army wanted to temporarily build a landing railway in Malacca to transport railroad tracks and locomotives from China, but they were directly rejected by the Import and Export Committee.

These measures are all to strengthen the empire's control over overseas territories and avoid technology leakage. However, these policies will inevitably hinder local economic development, especially the ban on the export of machinery and equipment, which will affect the economic development of overseas territories. , because it also means that the way for overseas territories to develop industry is completely blocked.

However, even so, the upper echelons of the empire unswervingly implement the strict overseas territory rule policy and import and export control policy.

Because in the minds of the top management of Datang and the management of major domestic companies, the most beautiful world map is this: the empire itself becomes the world's factory, and other places are raw material suppliers.

Industrial raw materials and agricultural products from all over the world were continuously imported into the empire, and the raw materials entered factories and turned into various industrial products, and then these industrial products were shipped from the empire to all parts of the world for sale.

This forms a cycle of raw materials, production and sales!

Of course, this model is just the wishful thinking of the top of the empire, and it can still be implemented now, but if it takes a few decades or a hundred years, the overseas territories of the empire will definitely not be willing to serve as a supplier and consumer market for industrial raw materials.

How did America become independent?

There are many reasons on the surface, but the essence is the contradiction in the economic division of labor between the native and the colony.

The descendants of the British who immigrated to North America, after hundreds of years of accumulation, have completed the initial accumulation of primitive resources. Naturally, they are not willing to only serve as the origin of industrial raw materials and the consumer market.

They desperately want the most lucrative part of the economic cycle, the industrial production part.

Why is the large market in North America occupied by the local businessmen, and we can only go to farming?

So they also built factories, but what is even more tragic is that due to technical reasons, the technology of these factories is not very good, and they are not competitive with domestic factories.

What to do in the end?

What else can I do, rebel!

As a result, those factory owners, shouting for freedom, wielded whips and drove the slave workers in their factories to launch an independent revolution.

Of course, these too straightforward descriptions may not be appropriate, but the essence of this world is the conflict of interests and contradictions. You will find that the essence inside is still very pure, that is, the conflict of interests.

The Datang Empire's overseas territory management policy naturally has many flaws, and some of these flaws are even fatal.

However, it will take at least a few decades for these fatal flaws to break out. Whether Li Xuan is still alive or not after a few decades is still a matter of choice. He will not worry about this kind of risk after a few decades. .

Besides, every era has its own interests.

After he dies, there is a high probability that his successor will change the colonial policy. After all, there are still relatively few people as extreme as Li Xuan.

If it was replaced by a normal-thinking emperor, not a transmigrator, then it is unlikely that after the reunification of the empire, he has not had time to cultivate and recuperate, and he has not had time to enjoy a prosperous and prosperous life, and he cannot wait to promote the global expansion plan.

Try to conquer the globe!

This kind of thing seems to be a waste of time for any normal person, and only a transmigrator like Li Xuan can do it, and he does it regardless of the consequences!

Based on the global strategy of the Datang Empire and the policy of overseas territories, although the shipyard in South Africa City, West India has resumed production, the production method is the same as in the Portuguese era, without any mechanical equipment.

No way, the empire prohibits the export of any machinery and equipment, the Import and Export Committee can't wait to prohibit even a single screw from flowing out of the empire's mainland!

Not to mention overseas territories such as South Africa Port, even if it is already classified as Beihai Province, Luzon Province, Banten Province, and Malacca Province, which are already included in the mainland of the Empire, they are still export control areas.

Although the above-mentioned areas already belong to the mainland in name, the local population structure is still dominated by indigenous people. The people of the empire in Luzon Province, Banten Province, and Malacca Province add up to only one million people, but the local population is only one million. How many indigenous people are there? Who the **** knows how many!

The same is true for Beihai Province. The empire's large-scale immigration to Beihai Province has just begun. The entire immigration plan will take at least five years or even more than ten years. .

Until the people of the empire completely occupy the area, the empire will not consider releasing the technical control of the area!

The South African Shipyard, a government-run shipyard directly affiliated to the finances of West Indies, has since resumed production, in addition to providing repairs to ships coming to South African ports, its main task is to produce small vessels such as offshore patrol ships and port vessels for the navy.

The tonnage of these offshore patrol ships is generally not large. For example, the small ships used in the port, dozens of tons are considered large, and some small ships with only a few tons are also available.

Even the navy's offshore patrol ships are only more than 100 tons.

The Offshore Patrol Ships of the Datang Navy have been developed for many years and have already formed a number of complete series, ranging from tens of tons to 100 tons to more than 200 tons.

And different offshore patrol vessels are arranged according to the different conditions of each place.

In recent years, due to transportation problems, the small and medium-sized ships used in some overseas territories that are too far away have basically been built locally.

For example, Xinjin Mountain in the Americas, that place is extremely far away from the mainland of the Empire~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is separated by a Pacific Ocean. The hundreds of tons of offshore patrol ships cannot cross the Pacific Ocean at all.

West Indies in Africa is also in the same situation. The distance is too far and transportation is difficult. Therefore, the small and medium-sized ships used by some colonies tend to be built locally.

Of course, shipbuilding in the colonies cannot violate the relevant regulations of the Import and Export Commission. Shipyards in these colonies cannot obtain machinery and equipment, and can only use traditional shipbuilding methods to build ships.

However, they are all small boats, and they are not the most advanced steam and steel boats in China. They are just some wooden boats with sails. They are built in the same way in the traditional way.

After the South African shipyard resumed production, it has built several offshore patrol ships for the navy. In addition, some patrol ships were dispatched from West India City and Motor City, which allowed the South African city to have more than ten offshore patrol ships. The fleet, patrolling day and night, cooperated with the main battleship to block the entire South African waters!
