Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1689: Doing things no one else dares to think about
The places where Datang immigrated generally preferred places with fertile land and suitable for developing agriculture. After all, the people depended on food.
As long as this is cultivated, there is no need to worry about the grain, and there will even be a large amount of surplus grain.
These surplus grains can then be used as rations for subsequent arrivals.
There are too many, and they can also be transported to nearby areas to sell, or simply make a profit.
Colonies are places suitable for agricultural development, which has led to the fact that as long as each colony has survived the first two years, there is basically no need to worry about food in the follow-up.
This is actually much better than at home.
Although the local area is large enough and there are many fertile fields, but the population is too large.
Even if the empire has been unswervingly immigrating to overseas, frontiers and other regions for the past 20 years, it has emigrated millions of people overseas, and has mobilized millions of people to migrate to the northeast, northwest, southwest and other regions. Fill the frontier.
But the local food supply is still relatively tight.
This is mainly because the population is growing too fast.
Datang originally had a large population base, and the people had a tradition of having more children and more blessings.
There was no war in peacetime, industry and commerce also developed, and land mergers were curbed. At the same time, because of the rapid development of agriculture, industry and commerce, after the industrial revolution, materials were more abundant than before, and the average life expectancy has increased from about 30 years old in the past to 40 years old. around age.
All of these have led to the rapid growth of the population!
Although large-scale immigration has begun overseas, and at the same time, the northeast, northwest, southwest and other provinces are actively developed, and other provinces are also actively reclaiming more fields, but the population pressure is still not small.
This is also the reason why more and more people in the Datang Empire have chosen to immigrate overseas in recent years.
There is no other reason, the local is too difficult to mix, and it is difficult to eat enough.
But if you go to an overseas territory, as long as you work hard and take a small risk by the way, then there is no problem with eating enough, and even these free lands can be passed on to future generations.
How many people who are impoverished in the mainland, after gritting their teeth and choosing to immigrate, live their lives in overseas territories with land, houses and wives.
From nothing to a wealthy homesteader.
This change is transmitted back to the mainland, which is to cause more people to choose to immigrate.
Although it is said that Chinese people have a local complex, but these things are not farts in front of a full meal.
Moreover, the local complex of Chinese people is actually a matter of literati, officials and gentry, and has nothing to do with ordinary people.
Many poor people don't mind going to America or Africa as long as they can eat enough.
Of course, they are all timid, for fear of running away or being deceived by others.
At this time, the role of the resettlement and reclamation department is manifested in unified organization of transportation and unified resettlement.
With the government there, there is nothing to worry about.
Otherwise, millions of people would not have emigrated overseas in these years, and there would also be millions of people who migrated from places with more people and less land to undeveloped frontier areas with less people and more land.
All in all, the number of people who have migrated has almost reached more than 15 million.
The combination of many policies has led to a rapid increase in the number of immigrant populations of the empire overseas, which in turn enhanced the empire's ability to control its overseas territories.
Relying on these immigrants, there is food and militia.
With these two, it is basically possible to expand the actual control area of the overseas territory, and then use it to accept more immigrants.
Basically, the development model of empires in overseas territories is similar, but the development of North America is faster.
It has only been a few years, there are 700,000 people, and the local agricultural economy is developing well. Even the Ministry of Taxation has an optimistic estimate that the annual tax contribution from the Americas is equivalent to that of an inland region. What about the upper class government?
After all, a local government, even if it is an upper-class government, has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and no more than one million.
Although domestic state capitals can also develop industry and commerce, they can collect relatively large industrial and commercial taxes.
But although the Americas cannot develop modern industries, there are also traditional industries and commerce, such as handicrafts, service industries, and overseas trade.
The east coast of the Americas has exported a lot of materials to Europe in recent years, such as wine, which is not a small profit.
Today's North America has entered a state of rapid and virtuous development. Even if the empire does not introduce targeted support policies, it will continue to attract immigrants by virtue of its own excellent conditions.
And all this made Li Lu, the king of Jin in North America, quite gratified.
Li Lu, the fifth son of the emperor Li Xuan, was born in the 12th year of Xuanping. His biological mother was Concubine An, the fourth emperor of the Tang Empire.
After Li Hao, the eldest son, was crowned prince, their other princes were basically crowned princes early, and they would immediately become vassal at the age of sixteen.
Li Lu was named King of Jin Jun at the age of eight, Prince of Jin at the age of twelve, and became the new Jinshan Prefecture when he was sixteen.
After graduating from Guozijian, when he was ordered to leave the capital and go to the fief to become a fief, Li Xuan also gave him the other two states on the west coast of North America.
In this way, it is actually equivalent to giving him the entire western coast of North America as a fief.
In addition, on the eastern coast of North America, this more important place also has princes as vassals.
Wuhu Prefecture and Central Prefecture were conferred to Li Jing, the sixth son of the emperor
Li Jing, the sixth son of the emperor, was born in the thirteenth year of Xuanping. He shares the same biological mother as Li Bing, the third son of the emperor Wandan, who was born in the Song Dynasty. Concubine Kang was also Li Xuan's many concubines, only one of whom gave birth to two. The concubine of a prince, not only the prince, but also Concubine Kang gave birth to a daughter to Li Xuan.
This situation is relatively rare in the Tang harem, because everyone knows that Li Xuan, the son of the emperor, likes the new and hates the old, and often favors one concubine for a period of time, but after a period of time, he will favor another concubine, and rarely does it again. back.
Of course, a few people can still get such favor, and Concubine Kang is one of them.
Li Jing, the sixth son of the emperor, was awarded the title of King Zheng at the age of 12. When he became a vassal at the age of 16, he did not go directly to North America, but was first awarded the state of Malacca, but soon this state of Malacca was directly administered by the empire, and because of the Strait of Malacca The importance of the empire began to move the nobles, including the princes, who were originally canonized on the side, to other places.
Therefore, Li Jing, the sixth son of the emperor, was renamed the Central State and Wuhu State in North America.
But Sanhezhou is not his fief, but the fiefdom of the seventh son of the emperor, Li Peng. Li Ping was born in Xuanping sixteen years ago, and he is only twenty years old this year. The first time he was awarded the title was Sanhezhou.
Although there is only one state in the fief, in fact, the Sanhezhou of Datang is very large, basically including most of the later generations of the Gulf of Mexico.
According to Li Xuan's habit, when he canonizes the prince, he usually changes the title or increases the land for the second time. This is the case with the previous kings, and the fief of Li Cong may be even larger in the future.
So far, among the seven adult princes of the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan, with the exception of Crown Prince Li Hao, the other six are already overseas.
As for the remaining sons, they are still underage.
The ninth emperor is only thirteen years old now, and he is getting up early.
At the same time, it can be seen that Li Xuan attaches great importance to North America from the fact that Li Xuan made all three sons in North America.
It's not enough to not pay attention to it. It's such a big place, and it's a place with such huge potential.
Moreover, the place is large and the potential is also great. If it develops in the future, it will be too wasteful to be only a prince's fief, and it will easily nourish the rebellion of the vassal, so he will be divided into three.
The triangular frame is the most stable.
In areas such as Africa and India, Li Xuan has not yet let the prince go to the domain, and there are quite a few nobles who have been canonized. The main reason is that there are not many local immigrants, and the indigenous people are complex and the climate is not good.
First plan to wait a few years, and then give other sons as fiefs.
Li Xuan now has thirteen sons, and he estimates that the latter ones can be sealed in India, Africa and West Asia. In the future, Europe will see if they can get a few.
They always seal their sons out, so that they don't mess around in the local area.
After all, Huaxia's traditions are too weird, and the princes will want to rebel and seize the throne whenever they have a chance, so Li Hao is not easy to be the prince, and the pressure is too great.
If it wasn't for Li Xuan to support him, he would have been tossed to death by his brothers.
Although Li Hao's methods are also good, his two fists are hard to beat with four hands. All the brothers are staring at him, wishing he died, wanting to repeat the deeds of the former Mingyan King's victory.
Even if Li Hao has a son now, even if he himself dies, Li Xuan can directly make the eldest grandson of the emperor as the crown prince, but Zhu Yunwen of the former Ming Dynasty succeeded the throne with the eldest grandson of the emperor~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the end, he was unlucky.
Therefore, even if Li Xuan supported him, in fact he was still not very stable.
In this regard, Li Xuan can't do anything about it either. The Chinese tradition is like this. It is too difficult to change people's minds.
On the surface, those sons were respectful to him, all swearing and swearing that they had absolutely no intention of meddling with the throne, but in fact, Li Xuan knew with his toes that these sons were all staring at the position under his buttocks.
But the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is impossible for Li Xuan to give them the throne.
Therefore, we can only implement the overseas enfeoffment system, let the sons go overseas to be vassal kings, and Li Xuan also gave them certain military power. Each vassal king has a royal guard, although the force is a little less, only a few thousand People, but that's also the army.
After Li Xuan is dead, their wrists are stronger. It is estimated that they will be able to control a certain real power of the fief. As for independence or not, Li Xuan estimates that there will be some, but he is too lazy to care about it. That's alright, and future generations don't stupidly follow along.
Unifying the world is his Li Xuan's career!
This career is a bit middle-of-the-road, a bit idealized, and even for the empire itself, it’s not worth the loss. Playing colonization in overseas territories is much cheaper and more profitable than playing localization!
But Li Xuan doesn't care so much, he just wants to unify the world and play global localization!
What he pursues is a planet, an empire, and a nation, and he is doing things that countless transmigration seniors can't do, or even dare to think about.
For this reason, he doesn't care about interests or anything!
But the question is, after Li Xuan's death, will anyone in the Tang Empire still play like this?
