Chapter 143 Colonial Road
Of course, this is not enough. There are still many rich people who have no place to put their spare money. Yu Xiaotian launched a new policy, which is to allow these rich people to buy land in some of the colonies they have occupied so far, and in the colonies, the tax policy on land is completely different from local taxes. Receipt policy.
If you buy a large amount of land in the colony, the amount of tax is stable in a proportion, and the tax is very low compared with China, and the step-by-step tax collection method is not adopted, which allows the rich to buy more land and use it to obtain higher benefits.
As soon as this policy was launched, it was immediately welcomed by many rich people. They were worried that there was no place to invest their spare money. Now the court has opened such an opening, which just satisfies the Chinese people's desire for land possession.
Although many people are a little worried about buying land in the colonies, the national reputation of China and North Korea has now been tested. There is always the first person in the world who dares to eat crabs, so some rich people went to the newly occupied Luzon to tentatively buy land there and buy it by the way. Some captured slaves cultivated land for them.
When the first group of people succeeded in buying colonial land, they also implemented a low land tax policy in colonial management, so this group of people immediately began to buy more land to expand their farms in the colony.
There was no impenetrable wall. The first batch of people to buy land in the colony succeeded, and the news immediately began to spread to the mainland.
So more rich people began to flock, rushing to the colonies to buy land, build their private farms or manors, and also led some small craftsmen to run there to start trading.
In the sixth year of Chengtian, the Japanese country was destroyed. Yu Xiaotian renamed the Japanese state Donghai Province, but its status was classified as a colony and allowed the Chinese to buy land there.
So he immediately recruited many rich people and swarmed up and ran to the enclosure of Donghai Province.
Yu Xiaotian's nose was crooked this time, and the noses of the household officials were also crooked at the same time, including the bank's noses.
Because after the establishment of these colonies, the income obtained by selling these lands alone is a large amount of income, which is the dividends of the war, which makes the Great China and North Korea rely on these land sales income alone to double the fiscal revenue of the previous year of the Ming Dynasty.
The household department is rich, of course happy, and the bank is also happy, because the income of the household department needs to be controlled by state-owned banks. This money is often idle and useless, so it can be loaned out to make profits.
Yu Xiaotian is happy. Now that he has money, he can invest more infrastructure, recruit more sailors, build more warships, cast more cannons, and build more state-owned factories.
So the financial difficulties of Dazhong finally began to ease after the first colonies began to sell. In addition, the slave sales were also quite profitable.
Yu Xiaotian thinks that he is not that kind of cruel person, but it depends on who is right. He loves the Chinese, but he is not so kind to those black monkeys and Japanese slaves. The land used to be theirs, but now he is robbed by Yu Xiaotian's Dazhong Dynasty and will drive them out of them. It is certainly not appropriate to kill all the land, which will affect the development of the colony and make the colony seriously short of labor.
So these black-skinned monkeys have the value of being used again, okay! Then sell them to the farmers who went to the colony to buy land, and let the farmers manage them and use them to cultivate the land!
Of course, the farmers who went to the colony to buy land need someone to farm their land, but now they can't absorb much labor in the country. It happens that in the hands of colonial managers, there are a large number of slaves captured by the military for them to buy and use.
Slaves are different from recruited tenants. It seems that the price is a little higher at the time of purchase, and the investment seems to be relatively large, but it is a once-and-for-one thing. If you buy back slaves, you can use them to die, and even the children they give birth to will continue to be their slaves, which can be used for generations. Go, this is a very cost-effective thing.
Chinese people are very good at making small calculations, which is easy to understand, so immediately the slave trade began to become extremely hot, and the price was absolutely not low. Even some pirates or European merchants found this business opportunity and began to arrest slaves everywhere, sell them to the authorities of China at a low price, and then through Dazhong. Officially, sell it to those farmers.
Later, even some local landlords found this opportunity, so they went to buy slaves and replace their tenants to farm for them, which was more cost-effective than renting the land to the tenants and collecting some tenants.
This has also led to a new problem. Some tenants who originally had no land and had to rely on tenants' land to farm, because the landlord's owner has now purchased slaves to farm instead, making them unemployed again and lose their source of livelihood.
In this way, it has added instability to the university and the middle school. The tenants who have lost their sources of livelihood and can't make a living naturally have to find a way to survive, so the catchers are robbing, resulting in new chaos in some places.
But Yu Xiaotian soon came up with a new way to deal with this situation. Aren't the tenancy unemployed? And don't they have a very high possessive desire for land?
It doesn't matter. Now it must be a colony. In addition, in Liaodong and Mongolia, Yu Xiaotian is also encouraging immigrants to temporarily implement some preferential measures for land tax collection there, and will not even accept land for the time being, as long as someone is willing to go to farm and develop.
At present, there are still many landless people in China, and industry and commerce can't absorb so many people for a while, so it doesn't matter. Sign an agreement to lend long-term direct loans from large Chinese banks, and transport them to colonies or Liaodong Mongolia and other places to buy land, and Tianfu is still very favorable, even if The climate there is cold and the frost-free period is short. As long as you are willing to work hard to farm and reclaim more farmland, it is still much better than being a tenant.
So in this way, the farmers who lost their land have found the land they can rely on to survive, which also greatly promoted the speed of immigration within and outside the customs. A large number of farmers began to move outside the customs to purchase land and carry out expansion and development, which greatly filled the Han population in the large and medium-sized territories outside the customs. There is no need to say more about the benefits. Han people are very good at giving birth and raising, and the population will increase. In the end... I won't explain more.
Therefore, the slave trade also made the Greater China and North Korea earn a lot of money, which also led to Yu Xiaotian's later order to Meng Fei that in Donghai Province, unless those who try to resist are treated, generally they must not slaughter arbitrarily, and try to try to resist the Japanese, It is more cost-effective to catch it and turn it into a Japanese slave and ship it back to China to sell it than to find someone to bury it.
So he saved a large number of Japanese left in Japan, and finally escaped death, was loaded into a slave ship, stuffed like a sardine can, and transported back to China.
Later, the number of slave ships was not enough, so they simply put the boats that used to transport large animals, such as transporting these Japanese slaves back to China for sale, or simply pulling them to Luzon to sell them. In short, the Japanese can't continue to stay in Donghai Province. They must take this bullshit from the root. Thoroughly clean up with the nation.
As for the need for slaves as labor in Donghai Province in the future, then it doesn't matter. Just catch black monkeys from Southeast Asia! It doesn't matter if you go to Africa to catch black slaves.
The whole colonial history is actually the bloody and tearful history of some weak nations. Isn't the reason why the European powers got rich in later generations also by this way to get rich? Therefore, Yu Xiaotian decided to go against his conscience and take this road. As long as the Chinese can stand on this earth in the future, it doesn't matter even if he has some bad reputations on his future generations.
With the comprehensive victory of the Japanese War, a large number of Japanese slaves began to be transported back to China. At this time, infrastructure began to enter the fast lane and obtained a large number of free labor, road construction and river repair projects, which solved the problem of the previous shortage of manpower and solved the problem that must be requisitioned and issued when farmers were idle. The problem that people can only build.
Now that there are a large number of Japanese slaves, these projects can be fully carried out, continuous construction, and the construction progress has been greatly improved.
In the second half of Chengtian alone, in the past six months, hundreds of roads have been built all over the country, especially in the north, and a large number of Japanese slaves have been invested in construction on the construction site. The mileage of the construction and repair of official roads has reached thousands of miles. In addition, thousands of miles of rivers have been repaired.
However, the government's investment can be said to be very little. Anyway, Japanese slaves are not human beings. They casually give something that normal people don't eat, and they can't die of hunger. As for being tired, they will bury them. Anyway, it's not a pity to use.
It's just to make the army a little unhappy about this. They have to deploy troops to supervise these Japanese slaves on the construction site and prevent them from causing trouble. They don't look like soldiers all day long, but like foreman.
The Japanese slaves are not very docile. There must be some people making trouble. Well, anyway, if the knife handle is in the hands of us Chinese, they will be slaughtered and pulled down, and they must be slaughtered by the most cruel means. As for stripping alive or lighting the skylights, it's okay to chop off their hands and feet and hang them up and starve to death. Let the supervisors go tos around. .
At first, many officials of the Dazhong official held an attitude against the foreign war launched by Xiaotian for many years, believing that it would make people and money, and also increased the financial burden of the Greater China. They were worried that doing so for a long time would bring down the Greater China and the Greater China and North Korea to fall into chaos again.
