Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1566: Transoceanic Shipping: Xinjinshan
If the official organization, the free transport of immigrants in the past, are mainly agricultural immigrants who reclaimed wasteland.
However, most of these immigrants who are self-funded or self-funded are actually registered by themselves, and their goals are different, but a considerable number of them go with the mentality of getting rich overnight.
How to get rich overnight?
Gold rush!
This is no joke, it's a fact!
What was the largest colony of the North American Empire called?
New Jinshan!
As the name suggests, this new Jinshan is actually a colonial city built on gold mines!
Before Datang officially set up an administrative agency here and established the new Jinshan Prefecture, there were already hundreds of Datang gold diggers here!
And here is also the place where North American mining companies started!
The Datang Empire chose to establish its first official official colony here, and set up the new Jinshan Prefecture, because there are gold mines in this place, attracting a large number of adventurers to pan for gold.
A lot of people, no matter in the past or now, they go to Xinjinshan just to go to gold panning.
Of course, the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is the backbone. In fact, most of the gold diggers end up with nothing, and only a few can get rich gold overnight.
Although most people can also find gold, in fact, the money exchanged for this gold will be squandered by them.
The real moneymakers are actually local mining companies or practitioners who provide services to gold diggers.
But even so, many people go to Xinjinshan to pan for gold every year.
Well, regardless of whether it is true or not, most people in the empire today think that North America is full of gold.
Not to mention private gold diggers, even capital is lingering on North America, and a mining company will be established to organize personnel to go to North America to survey and mine gold.
Among them, the most successful and most famous, and even used by the Immigration and Reclamation Division as propaganda materials, is naturally the North American Mining Company.
This company is registered in Shanghai and its headquarters is also in Shanghai, but its actual business is a mining company in North America. It is the first company in the Datang Empire to develop minerals in North America. It is invested by many domestic businessmen. It was established and is now a listed company, and many institutions hold shares in the company.
Because they have a large number of mineral mining rights and exploration rights in North America, the market value is not low.
The company has gone to North America for exploration a long time ago. Now, 30% of the large and small gold mines found in Xinjinshan belong to their company's mining areas. At the same time, they are also conducting exploration in more places and mining gold mines. Or silver mines.
They also need a lot of labor for this!
The empire strictly stipulates that no matter whether it is in the mainland or a colony, as long as it is under the control of the empire, any institution or individual in the empire is not allowed to hire any natives.
It doesn't matter if it's a hired worker or a slave, it's not allowed.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, indigenous people with a temporary residence permit in the Tang Dynasty are not in the restricted ranks.
However, the number of indigenous people with temporary residence permits is very small, because their source is very single, that is, the temporary residence permits issued to some civilians or captives living there after the empire conquered a certain area.
Remember, only some civilians or prisoners have higher requirements. For example, in order to avoid religious pollution, they are generally forced to change their beliefs. Domestic Buddhism and Taoism are chosen at will. Anyway, they cannot believe in other messy religions.
In the Tang Dynasty, without religious freedom, the only legal religions were Buddhism and Taoism, which were recognized and reformed by the Religious Department under the Ministry of Household of the Empire.
Reformed legitimate Buddhism and Taoism are naturally not the same thing as the original so-called religions.
Because Li Xuan has become a **** emperor and appeared in the Taoist classics, what else can you expect...
Li Xuan is a staunch successor of sectarianism who grew up under the red flag, a staunch atheist, and religion, in Li Xuan's opinion, is also a feudal superstition.
If it cannot be destroyed, it must be reformed!
How to change it?
Since you have to believe in any god, that's fine, but you have to believe in me as a god!
To put it bluntly, if there must be a **** in this world, a god, then this **** can only and must be Li Xuan!
Those indigenous people originally had various religions in a mess, and they came from different places and believed in different religions. Without brainwashing them, it is estimated that they can be directly fought together!
Therefore, if you want to obtain a temporary residence permit in the Tang Dynasty, you must believe in the reformed Buddhism and Taoism, and believe in Li Xuan as a god!
At present, the total number of indigenous people who have obtained temporary residence permits in the Tang Dynasty adds up to 10,000 people. Most of them are Portuguese, and some are Spaniards, Safis, Ottomans, um, and Tatars. Basically The above are all civilized natives, the kind who can reason!
As for the uncivilized natives, the Great Tang did not treat them as human beings, and they still wanted a temporary residence permit, thinking too much!
There are only ten thousand temporary residents, which means that companies that develop business overseas cannot employ a large number of natives.
No way, there are no natives in Datang's control area, so naturally there is no employment.
The Tang Dynasty this year is more xenophobic than any other country in human history.
Datang officials maintain such a tough and even seemingly unreasonable ethnic protection policy, in fact, many policies of Datang can be seen.
And these similar policies are generally extended from concepts such as the right to subsistence!
For example, the army of the Empire wants to get the land for the people of the Empire to live!
The land that the empire has worked so hard to obtain, you have brought in a lot of natives, is this land still the people of the empire?
Datang worked tirelessly to colonize North America, hiring or enslaving a large group of local natives to work for him, which seemed to make money.
But you still have to feed them to make them work, even slaves have to live to work!
However, even if the food they eat is grown by themselves, they still use the land of the Tang Dynasty.
It's not nonsense to use the land of the Tang Dynasty to support a group of foreign aborigines!
Therefore, the empire prohibits any institution or individual from employing natives in any way, even slaves.
Institutions and individuals who want to develop their business overseas can only employ their own citizens or temporary residents.
Although the cost will be very high, and many companies that develop business overseas will be miserable, but the empire has no plans to let go of this, but whoever is found to hire natives will be punished severely, and the first offender will be punished. will be sentenced to capital punishment.
The punishment is far greater than the employment of illegal immigrants in later generations.
However, in fact, there are policies above and countermeasures below!
Institutions and individuals of the empire cannot hire natives within the control of the Tang Dynasty, so they can hire them outside the control area!
For example, many trading companies will set up business stations, commercial houses, etc. in foreign cities. These overseas institutions also employ a lot of local aborigines.
Of course, the laws of the Tang Dynasty obviously did not care about matters on foreign lands, even those lands theoretically belonged to the Tang Empire and the Son of Heaven.
But now it's not because the empire is too busy, let the natives take care of these lands first!
Therefore, the imperial government does not care about matters outside the control area.
Speaking of North American Mining Corporation, some of the minerals they discovered on the western coast of North America are located in the Datang-controlled area, and some are not in the Datang-controlled area. As for the minerals outside these controlled areas, North American mines The business company is to hire local indigenous people to mine!
In the mining areas in the control area, you cannot hire natives. If you want to mine, you can only immigrate from the country. Although mining is a very dangerous and hard work, the empire is free to hire and no one is forcing it. You go mining is not.
This time on the Pacific, there are actually about 300 employees of North American mining companies, all of which were hired at a considerable cost by North American mining companies, and they are going to be brought to North America for mining. Fee, to pay wages.
However, even though these 300 people are employees of the North American Mining Company, they are all the same to the Immigration and Reclamation Division.
The Immigration and Reclamation Division has always been very welcoming, and even encourages companies to hire employees to work overseas, and will also give certain subsidies to reduce the cost of the company.
For these 300 people, the Immigration and Reclamation Division also gave a subsidy for the boat ticket!
Anyway, as long as people go there, no matter who you are or what you did in the past, the Immigration and Reclamation Division will welcome you and give them subsidies.
This time, the Pacific was carrying more than 2,600 people, not including the crew!
In addition, it also carried nearly 1,000 tons of various goods, some of which were supplies of various types of food and fresh water, and some of them were ordinary goods.
Although the Pacific is a passenger ship, its cargo space is actually very large and can carry a large amount of cargo.
And this time the voyage is not only the Pacific, there are also five ships!
Although the other five ships are all ocean-going ships of more than 1,000 tons~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they are completely incomparable compared to the Pacific Ocean, which has a full-load displacement of more than 5,000 tons.
The other thousand-ton ships on the side, in front of the Pacific, were like the huge difference between a child and an adult.
After the people boarded the ship and the goods were loaded, Captain Sun began to order the ship to set sail!
However, it is naturally impossible for the huge hull to leave the wharf by its own power. After several steam tugboats are needed to push it away from the wharf, the huge steam engine on the Pacific ship starts to drive the propeller to rotate, slowly pushing the Pacific ship to the center of the river, Then head towards the Yangtze River.
At this time, the Pacific has officially started its first transoceanic voyage!
Goal: New Jinshan!
