Chapter 1394 Advantages
As for this matter, whether the emperor supports it or not?

Of course support.

The emperor didn't pay any money, and after the end, he could "repay" 5% of the gold to the internal funds, plus 15% of the treasury revenue.

For the candidates of the first batch of immigrants, Liu Yu still used the "differentiation" method that he is relatively good at.

The construction of the Yellow River channel is a huge project, a huge project comparable to the Grand Canal and the Great Wall.

Millions of people are affected by the course of the Yellow River.

Of course, it can be resolved in 20 or even 30 years.

But how to solve it requires "differentiation".

The first batch of immigrants, that is, the group of people who "enjoy" getting land without digging gold and working as "contract workers", from the company's point of view, must meet two conditions.

Can farm and raise livestock.

Work hard.

Therefore, this first group of people is needed, neither rent-collecting landlords nor poor tenant farmers without livestock.

From the perspective of "stability", it coincides with the perspective of the company.

There are generally three types of people affected by the course of the Yellow River.

big landowner.

Owner farmers, middle peasants, and small landlords (small landlords below the Dashun level, [-] to [-] mu of land, [-] to [-] mu of land count).

Tenant farmers, half-tenant and half-poor peasants.

The big landlords have the strongest voice of opposition, but they have the loudest thunder and little rain, and they are also the least willing to rebel.

And the number of people is the smallest, so it is easy to clean up, and a bunch of "business certificates" that Zibo has no iron ore are issued.

Tenant farmers and half-tenant and half-poor farmers are the largest in number, but they are also the easiest to settle.

Simply put, it gives hope to the future and satisfies the survival of the present.

The current survival, digging embankments, building railways, and giving money is enough to satisfy survival, earning more than when I was a tenant farmer.

The hope for the future is to promise to work in the gold mines for five years in the future. Not to mention the salary, 3% of the gold income of each gold panning team belongs to them.In the future, you can buy land in Fusang, tax exemption for five years, and no corvee in the future.

The most difficult thing to settle is precisely the owner-peasant.

The family originally had land, [-] to [-] mu, although it was not much, but the small life was manageable.

Of course, there were quite a lot of people, because Dashun was founded only a hundred years ago, and Shandong was a place severely damaged by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Therefore, some families could still guarantee their family survival and live well by farming.

If you can get by, then you will move to the land again, and you don't want to leave.

At the same time, they are more down-to-earth and willing to work-shareholders, poor farmers, it's not that you are poor, it must be because you are lazy.However, ordinary owner farmers can prove their farming level and living ability, which can basically guarantee that their labor skills can ensure that their class will not slip.

Generally speaking, with [-] to [-] mu of land, the family will basically have a livestock and have the minimum experience in raising livestock.

Moreover, there are basically wives and children, and the wives are basically good at living. At least, there will not be a situation of "every day when the wheat comes down, you will get white buns every day, and if you don't pick up the wheat, you will go around asking for excuses"-although it sounds simple. Isn't this just a basic plan to live?If you have noodles, you have to eat them with vegetables. If you can’t harvest, you are like a landlord, and you are like a beggar when you are out of season.But in reality, it's quite difficult, and it's not even a life skill that every woman can master.

Moreover, generally speaking, if the family has twenty or thirty acres of land, if you ask him to go to the mine to dig or work in the factory, they will definitely not want to go.

At least until the second industrial revolution in history, the great dream of workers in many advanced countries was to save enough money to become farmers.

Therefore, they are the most difficult to settle and the most prone to troubles, but they are also the best candidates for the first batch of pioneering and reclamation—in addition to skill points, there is another characteristic, the owner farmers are the easiest to maintain order.

Therefore, the first group of people who went to North America to open up wasteland and reclamation were the "owner farmers in the New Yellow River Region" selected by Liu Yu after his investigation and research.

In fact, this is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, because in theory, the imperial court wants to build new river channels, and the imperial court has to pay for the land acquisition and immigration.

But the imperial court couldn't afford it, so they could only borrow gold mines, and the money was spent by the company's shareholders, large and small.

This matter, if it is a matter of debate, it is hard to say: Although the imperial court said that it gave the company the franchise right of the gold mine, can it still be debated to ask, why are the land, minerals, and forests in North America owned by the imperial court? ?Why did the court say that private work is not allowed if it is not allowed to do it privately?

So Dashun didn't argue here, and directly used violence: I said yes, that's it.If I say that it is not allowed to do it privately, it is not allowed to do it privately.If you have any opinions, go talk to the forest light infantry and naval cruisers.

Guanshanhai, traditional arts.

If you have the ability, directly lift up the Forbidden City—for example, after the French revolution, it immediately announced the abolition of the franchise, the right to trade in the east belongs to all French people, and everyone can freely go to the east of the Cape of Good Hope for trade—the new emerging in Dashun If the stratum raises the Forbidden City, it can naturally declare that the gold mines in Fusang belong to all the people of Dashun. Everyone can go to Fusang to dig gold freely as long as they have sufficient capital. Placement obligations.

But without such ability, Liu Yu also felt that this group of bourgeoisie could not succeed, so they could only obey obediently.

Here, there are high return rate, low risk, high return, endorsement by the imperial court, and endorsement by Liu Yu's personal reputation in trade over the years.

With the help of Dashun’s investment frenzy 40 years later than in Europe, and its inexperience in the three major bubbles of Tulip, South China Sea, and Mississippi, it quickly raised a large amount of funds.

If there is no dividend in the first five years, can dividends be paid after five years?
If it is someone else, they would not dare to say this, they are not sure.

Liu Yu dared to say this, and he was very sure: San Francisco has at least 1200 million taels of gold; Old Silver Mountain also has at least [-] million taels of silver.

In the fourth year of excavation, he had to rush there. In the past few years, he would not go directly to San Francisco.

Instead, first occupy all the estuaries and put a few villages in places suitable for reclamation-this is not a waste of money, it is all purposeful, far-sighted, and presupposed. Do you have to farm next to the gold mine?

It only needs to properly release some gold mines every year to boost market confidence and hang everyone.

After five years, almost 20 or [-] people will be relocated. With the guarantee of agriculture, re-immigration will be easy.The more people there are, the easier it is, and when there are enough people to do a little manufacturing, it's even easier.

Liu Yu's positioning of the west coast of North America is not the positioning of Britain's colonies: the place where raw materials are produced and where commodities are dumped.

His positioning is very clear; pressure relief valve.

Not to mention the pressure relief valve of the entire Dashun, at least it is the pressure relief valve of the Huanghe Xindao problem in Shandong.

This matter is not complete. If Dashun is really blown up, it will be possible to complete this matter only after the regime that reunifies after fierce struggle three to fifty years later.Within three to fifty years of chaos, it is impossible to unify again, and during the period of chaos, it is impossible to repair the Yellow River.

Whether Dashun was bombed or not, Liu Yu didn't care, but he still hoped to wait until the Yellow River channel was basically completed before bombing.Otherwise, it's really deadly.It is not so simple to change the channel of the Yellow River. If there is no channel, it will flood irrigation, destroy the agricultural area, and swing back and forth until it rushes out of the channel.

As for where people go, they can develop as they like, and they can toss about how they like. In the future, if Dashun is bombed, you can build a country by yourself, that doesn't matter.

It is impossible for Dashun to rely on raw materials from the west coast, nor the market on the west coast, at least not for 30 years.

As far as Dashun's current technical level is concerned, as long as the money is in place, immigration is not difficult.

Agriculture-related technologies, including plows, columbine carts, ridge farming, composting, blast furnace iron, etc., were completed as early as 2000 years ago.

This is completely different from the group of people in the Virginia Company who didn't know how to farm at all, and even said that their home country was still at the level of agricultural technology with an yield of 90 jin per mu, and their technical reserves were completely different.

Ocean currents, monsoons, nautical charts, navigation, lunar distance angle method, before Dashun participated in the World War I, all these technology points have been ordered, otherwise Dashun is not qualified to participate in the World War I, and it is impossible to efficiently rob ferry.

In the battle of longitude, Liu Yu bet on the science faction, and now it seems that he has defeated the British engineering faction.

It is too troublesome to make a nautical clock, and it is not yet mass-produced; for the nautical almanac, it is enough to find two or three hundred "brain migrant workers" who can compile it every year and can check the watch.

Liu Yu also solved the problem of the island transfer station and midway supply station along the way by relying on the Macau issue.

The Macau issue is a pretense to suppress the sandalwood trade in Portugal, thereby seizing the market for sandalwood in Honolulu.

Portugal's sandalwood, taking advantage of the Macau issue, Dashun has imposed many restrictions.

Tax increases, arrests, fines, and burnings all came down several times, creating a wave of sandalwood price increases inside Dashun. Because the original supplier was harmed by Liu Yu, Honolulu immediately ushered in a "spring of trade" and quickly It fills the huge sandalwood market inside Dashun.

Liu Yu doesn't believe in Buddhism, and he doesn't have much interest in sandalwood.But through these things, the Pacific transit station centered on Honolulu has begun to take shape.

At the very least, it can guarantee the functions of avoiding hurricanes, providing drinking water, overwintering berthing, providing food, providing fresh vegetables and fruits to resist scurvy, and reducing the death rate on Pacific routes.

Transport capacity, the problem is simpler.

In order to participate in the First World War, Dashun held back a lot of shipbuilding capacity.

After the First World War, it was impossible for Dashun to continue to expand its navy, and it happened to be transformed into a merchant ship to meet the trade needs of Persia, India and other places.

The previous shipbuilding production capacity is still there. There are more than 20 years of skilled shipbuilders accumulated since Liu Yu’s military training in Weihai and the introduction of French battleships.

There is a wood tar industry introduced from Sweden and developed in the Northeast.

There is a canvas industry that uses Southeast Asia and Indian trade as raw materials.

There are shipbuilding timber processing factories in Nanyang and Northeast China.

There is no need for a high-spec battleship standard of 30 pounds per ton according to the scale of the battleship. With the money, the production capacity can be exploded immediately, and a bunch of transport ships that can travel to the Pacific Ocean can be built.

Of course, there is no shortage of sailors, alternate captains, and ocean-going technicians.Dashun had been over-cultivating talents before, and a bunch of people who were capable of being captains at the actual level were all squatting on the ship as trainee captains. There were five or six trainee captains on a ship, and of course there was no shortage of them.

Simply put, as long as you have money, you are fine.

All technology points are basically clicked.

All the details of the transfer station have been done little by little before.

And Liu Yu sent people to the west coast of North America to "find gold", originally for others to see.Whether there is gold on the west coast, still need those prospecting teams to determine?Of course he knew there was gold on the West Coast.

Moreover, he has an official status and reputation.

In fact, World War I hadn’t really ended, the Treaty of Versailles hadn’t been signed, and the prospecting team’s search for mining areas hadn’t been completed yet. The immigration to the west coast of North America in Dashun had already begun.

The first batch of 1500 self-cultivating farmers and middle peasants selected from the planning area of ​​the Yellow River channel had already been stuffed on a boat and sent there to grow grain.

This year is the second batch. This time, 5000 households will be immigrated directly, because the 1500 households who went first, including fishing, farming, hunting, etc., are enough to ensure the basic survival of the second batch of 5000 households.

In addition, Jinghai Company has been developing "inefficiently" on the west coast for 20 years before, and there are also some basic small villages and towns such as Fenglin Bay, which can also provide a batch of commercial grain.

The second batch of 5000 households seems to have nothing to do with Dashun's participation in the First World War, and it has nothing to do with the upcoming "Versailles Peace Treaty".

Actually, the relationship is huge.

Because Dashun won the first battle.

Therefore, only social existence can reverse social consciousness, and a large amount of funds will enter the legendary "bubble company" of the Fuso Gold Mine in the form of stocks and bonds, instead of being buried in the cellar or buying and hoarding land.

And the money for these 5000 migrant households was collected by resources mobilized by this "social consciousness".

There is no battle to be won, no great development of industry and commerce, only relying on Liu Yu's red mouth and white teeth, but he can't get this money, and can guarantee "no dividends for five years, and no veto power for the board of directors during the five-year government supervision period." There are still people who invest money in such harsh conditions.

Of course, companies such as Dashun Jinghai Company, whose main profit comes from sea otter skins and other fur goods, are definitely not willing to emigrate on a large scale.

However, Dashun Jinghai Company, although its economic strength is far stronger than HBC and other European fur companies.But Dashun is not the UK. In the UK, these fur companies can formulate laws and stop land reclamation.

In Dashun, this is a fart.

At the very least, it will not be the case that the British East India coerced the British Parliament in 42 and extended the monopoly to 83 years.

There is no company in Dashun that can go so far: I ask you to sign the monopoly rights for another 40 years, and your emperor, the Sixth Government, the Temple of Heaven, and the Privy Council must quickly sign for me.If you don't sign, I'll kill you.

Dashun, such an awesome company is not allowed to exist.

It's not just the emperor who doesn't allow it.The Tianyou Temple and the six governments are not allowed either.

This is a major advantage of Dashun’s ability to immigrate quickly.
