Chapter 782: Australia's New Deal
Of course, the silly construction army is not a military organization. It is Yin: The two-way household registration system. Any household registration that joins the Xinjiang Construction Corps must be organized by the court and organized into each household office. Each ten households are small flags, and a small flag leader is set up. Each fifty households are one general flag, and a general flag officer is set up. Each hundred households are one hundred households, and a hundred households are set up. Each thousand households are set up, and each thousand households is set up, and the settlements of each small flag, general flag, thousand households are set up. For example, a hundred households are set up, and a hundred households can be placed around the 100-mile houses can be placed within a hundred miles. A thousand households are set up within a radius of five hundred miles and a radius of five thousand miles. A city is set up in the central part of Siberia. The name is Saibei, and the Xinjiang Construction Corps Zhenfu Department is set up.
Each household can be divided into a gluttonous land and let it grazle or farm. In addition, the court pays a salary according to the population every year, and each person has one or two taels of silver per month. Although it is not much, the income from the land is also not small.
With the smooth occupation of Siberia, immigrants from all prefectures and counties in the pass also migrated one after another, with a population of about 140,000 households and a population of 560,000. The Xinjiang Construction Corps Town Fushi Office in the new city was busy. The allocation of personnel, the resettlement of settlements, the railway route, the construction of new cities and the measurement of land for each household were all waiting to be dealt with. If the court had not dispatched many students from the Royal Academy to assist, I was afraid that such a few people in the yamen would have to sort out all the people and they would not know when they would go.
In Shenyang City, the emperor's schedule for returning to Nanjing has been set up, and Shenyang City is in a mess. The imperial court has allocated funds to attract refugees and build buildings. Now countless merchants, big merchants and small vendors, and the recruited craftsmen have flourished in an instant.
The biggest reason is transportation. The court has issued a plan to build a railway. Shenyang has become a transportation hub outside the pass. The railways within the pass go directly to Shenyang, and the railways leading to Beiting, Siberia, and Mongolia also pass through Shenyang. Naturally, the merchants are not idiots. The court spent so much effort to build a railway outside the pass. Isn’t it obvious that the railway is open and outside the pass? Taking advantage of the fact that the railway has not been repaired now, it is time to take up a good deal outside the pass. Should we wait until the land price here, and the prices of shops have all risen to sky-high prices before coming here.
Nowadays, merchants are much smarter, and their eyes are all focused on the court's policies. Wherever the court wants to open a place, and while the land and shops there have not been copied, they have to start quickly. Just like when Haidu opened a district, the court had a lot of discounts when it was set up at the beginning. The construction of the factory was basically just some materials. But after a few years, it took two thousand taels of silver to set up a factory there to buy a piece of land and build a factory. This is still a relatively biased place. It is a sky-high price to go to the center of the factory.
There are also shops in various cities in the south of the Yangtze River. When the imperial court just exhibited trade, shops in big cities only cost a hundred taels of silver, but a few years later, the price soared to thousands of taels of silver. The reason was that the business was nearly ten times better than usual. The more money recommended people, the more people opened shops, and there were only so many land, so the land price naturally rose sharply.
After several teachings, merchants suddenly realized that the land price will also rise, and the increase is not ordinary. If you want to seize the initiative, you can only take preconceptions.
The people who built the railway tracks in the pass also rushed out of the pass with tools. The people who worked very skillfully. The progress of laying railway tracks, bridges, roads and other projects in Jiangbei was first-class. Often, a section was designated, but the project could be completed in the fastest time. If it were replaced by the workers who received wages, it would probably not be so. After all, the workers would not be punished for slacking off some foremen, and at most some wages were deducted. But for slaves, they were just the same tool. If anyone dared to slacke in work, the whip on the foreman's hand and the spicy water set up by the chief, the tiger bench is not a decoration. Sometimes, in order to kill chickens and monkeys, Chong'an killed a few pounds in front of all the slaves. There were also many cases of slacking off. If he didn't work, he would risk his head. Who would dare to slacket?
Now the railway tracks in the pass are almost laid, and some major cities also have railway tracks passing through. Although they cannot cover all towns, it is enough.
The railway tracks outside the pass officially broke ground, and Zhu Jun also participated in the groundbreaking ceremony surrounded by a group of guards. After showing his face, he went to summon the chief from Australia.
After Australia was discovered by the Han people, it immediately attracted many adventurers. After burning, killing and looting, Zhu Jun finally issued an edict to prohibit the hunting of local natives. Subsequently, the migration of immigrants also began among the people. It was not as fertile as Siberia. Although the land was not as fertile as Siberia, it was a good place after all. The court only issued a thug and a migration order. Anyone who migrated could demarcate the boundary and distribute land to them. In just one year, nearly 600,000 people migrated to Australia in the Ming Dynasty. Now there are more people going to sea. In addition, the imperial court distributed land. As long as it was willing to go to sea, it could obtain hundreds or thousands of acres of land, and almost everyone could become a landlord or a rancher.
The increase in land, the increase in farmers and landlords naturally led to an extreme shortage of labor. Soon, some merchants found a solution. Labor shortage, so why not let the local natives work. Amid the call of merchants, the court issued a ban on not being allowed to kill natives at will. A squadron of the Nanyang Navy also began to patrol Australia. In order to maintain local public order, the court also specially organized an Australian militia to punish those adventurers who violated the ban. The "Ming Dynasty Colonial Law" was also published, and the court began to send officials from the Ministry of Rites to learn local language and communicate with the natives.
After promising not to hurt any natives, the tribes of the natives who had an hatred towards the Han people finally eased. They also realized that the confrontation with these Han people was not worth the cost. Often, a small group of Han people could destroy a small tribe, a security team of 200 people. They could win a large tribe of 10,000 people. The strong combat power made the local natives panic. Under the threat of the big stick, the local natives could only accept the olive branch thrown by the Ming Dynasty.
A month ago, the chiefs of various departments sat on the merchant ships for the Ming Dynasty in panic, then arrived at Tianjin Port, boarded the newly built railway train, arrived in Beijing, and there were no steam cars to ride in when they arrived in Beijing, but a few luxurious carriages were prepared for them. What the dozen chiefs saw and heard were really scary. The huge merchant ships, towering ports, smoke was emitting from the factory, and the moving iron carriages, luxurious carriages, and huge cities all made the chiefs feel incredible. First, they were extremely frightened, but slowly they got used to it, and they felt extremely novel. Later, they were envious. It turned out that they thought these Han people were barbarians, because they killed and swept the tribes indiscriminately. But now they felt ashamed of themselves.
The power of these Han people shocked the chiefs. The tribe, which had a tough attitude, tried to resist when they couldn't reach an agreement, but they didn't know whether the Han people were intentional or unintentional. After they arrived in Chenyang City, they had them watch the Guards Army combat exercises for a long time. It was just a pound of the mountain in Beiping City. On the top of the mountain, the new cannons striking the mountain. In the eyes of the chiefs, it was like the heaven and earth were shaken. The ears were almost deaf due to the sound of artillery. The wooden people on the mountain were blown to pieces, and even the mountain seemed to have been blown down, and the trees on the mountain were burning. After a few hours, the originally green hills became bare, and the charred land was still smoke, as if they were hell on earth.
Then rows of infantry advanced towards the mountains. Rows of wooden men stood at the foot of the mountain. The infantry squatted down hundreds of feet away and then fired. After the loud noises like beans, the chiefs felt that although the sound was harsh, it was not as shocked as the cannon. Under the shooting of rows of infantry, the rows of wooden men at the bottom of the mountain had already become ruined. Then they gathered up. Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing neat military coats, military boots, carrying muskets, and pulling cannons left in neat steps.
The chiefs looked at each other, and then they were pulled away by the officials of the Ministry of Rites who led them to watch. The officials of the Ministry of Rites told them in a naughty language that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would summon them to prepare them, take a shower and change clothes, and the corresponding officials would teach them etiquette. The chiefs nodded repeatedly and said only that.
After everything was prepared, these chiefs began to be arranged to enter the Shenyang Palace like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. If the Guards were the most powerful main battle corps of the Ming Dynasty, then the "God Han Generals" who guarded the palace in the palace could be said to be the most powerful guards of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who wants to become a Han general needs to be over 1.8 meters tall and well-proportioned. Even those with small scars on their faces are ineligible. These people are wearing winter military coats, cotton helmets, and leather boots under their feet cover their calves. They stand straight around the Shenyang Palace, which is more visually lethal than the Guards.
The chiefs entered the Xuanli Hall in panic. The Xuanli Hall was originally the place where the palace received foreign envoys. This has been the case since the Huang Taiji period. Now the palace has been taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and the Xuanli Hall has naturally come in handy. In order to establish prestige among the tribes outside the pass, Huang Taiji, at that time, had invested a lot of effort in the repair of the Xuanli Hall. Brass as bricks, jade as pillars, gold-made chairs, and white jade-carved support rods all showed the luxury and grandeur of the owners in the hall. More than a dozen chiefs were wearing newly-designed Han costumes, but their own bird feathers were still inserted on their heads. When they entered the hall, they saw a man with bright yellow clothes sitting faintly on the golden hall. However, the distance was too far and they could not see clearly. The high-ranking atmosphere made the chiefs feel great pressure.
"Hare to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." More than a dozen chiefs lined up in line, according to the etiquette taught by the etiquette officer, kneeled down together in the newly learned Chinese language. If there was no chance to see the Guards' Corps exercise just now, the etiquette officer asked them to kneel down to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and there might be someone who would have resisted them. However, in this environment, these chiefs realized their insignificance. They originally thought that a tribe of tens of thousands of people could already be "March 1" and "March 1. Ding Gong was so indifferent. But now it seems that the master of this northern continent is more than just ": The two evil tribes should be a large tribe with thousands of tribes gathered together, such a powerful existence. Even if these chiefs kneel down and kiss his toes, it would be legitimate.
This treaty was already the most equal treaty signed by the Ming Dynasty against the indigenous peoples in the colonies. Zhu Jun did not suddenly feel kind-hearted, but felt that there were only 200,000 indigenous peoples in such a large land in Australia, which would not be a threat. Since that is the case, let them just kill the farm work for the Australian farmers.
The chiefs listened carefully, some frowned. Some were indifferent, some muttered and didn't know what to say, but they didn't stand up to oppose it." After the imperial edict was read, Zhu Jun got up directly from the chair and came out from the back wall of the Xuanli Hall, leaving only a dozen natives who were whispering and discussing something.
One of the chiefs stood up from the ground and said angrily: "The tradition of the Kamohundian tribe is to hunt, and it is not to be a slave to others. I will never surrender."
The other chiefs shook their heads one after another. Obviously, many people disagree with the indignant chief's words. Some heard that the Ming Dynasty would give him wealth and allow him and his descendants to enjoy endlessly. They had already left the tribe's affairs behind, and some felt that the Ming Dynasty was too powerful and there was no benefit to oppose it.
After hearing the angry chief's words, the fenze official changed his face and hurriedly greeted several generals standing in the palace in Chinese and said, "This person does not accept Wang Hua, and wants to resist the order and disrespect him. Come and take him down first.
"After orders, more than a dozen powerful Han generals rushed forward with their long halberds and dragged the chief's uniform away.
