1850 American Gold Tycoon.

The rise of the new powers is all stepping on the old powers.

Germany stepped on France, the United States stepped on Spain, Japan stepped on the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, and there is no exception.

The overall strength of the United States in the mid-19th century was not weak, but it was by no means strong.

If you have to rank them, the comprehensive national strength of the United States during this period belongs to the second-rate powers after England, France, Russia, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary, and before Spain and the Netherlands.

Of course, the United States has a unique advantage over these great powers.

That is, the United States has a vast land area, and most of the local land is fertile, with sufficient and complete natural resources of all kinds. Compared with the above-mentioned powers, the United States has greater potential and a higher upper limit.

If you have to say that the United States has any disadvantages, it is that the core population in the early [-] million is not enough. This is the biggest shortcoming of the United States.

The country has a vast area and rich resources, which is why the United States, as a latecomer power, has not gone to extremes.

Compared with the expansion of Germany and Japan, the expansion of the United States is relatively orderly and controllable.

Liang Yao, the colony of Britain and France, dare not think about it at the moment, but the colonies of the Netherlands and Spain can still think about it.

In the face of Britain and France, one should behave with one's tail tucked, and in the face of the Netherlands and Spain, one should take a bite.

If no one dares to offend, there is no talk of development.

In this era of the weak and the strong, the rise of peaceful development is a joke.

There are only so few resources on the earth. If you want to rise, you must suffer from your own people or the people of other countries.There are only two paths to choose from.

As for how to choose these two paths, Liang Yao already had an answer in his mind.

His lofty prestige in California and the entire West Coast is based on the thriving economic development of California and the West Coast, and the relatively high living standards and income of the people.

If he chooses to squeeze the local people for development, the prestige he has accumulated will disappear in a few years.

This is also the reason why California has so far collected very limited taxes. If you want the people to have oil and water to squeeze out and achieve sustainable fishing, you must first raise them and let them get rich first.

The call for colonization in the United States has always been very high. In 1852, Liang Yao and Perry expedition to Japan, and the enthusiasm from top to bottom in the United States was very high.

This also shows that the attitude of the United States towards colonization is what it wishes for.

There are three reasons why Liang Yao chose to extend his hand to Pontianak.

One is that Borneo Island is suitable for planting rubber, the other is that there is a ready-made Chinese power Lanfang Republic in the local area, and this weak republic has been seeking asylum from the Qing Dynasty in order to avoid being annexed by the Dutch East India Company, and the third is that the Netherlands offended him up.

Deng Wenkang, the mayor of Reno, and the local police chief escorted more than [-] criminals to the train station.

There is a shortage of labor in California, and even prisoners have to undergo labor reform to support themselves.

Female prisoners usually cooperate with the Lotus Garment Factory to produce quilts on sewing machines.

However, there are few women in California, and even fewer female prisoners, with only a hundred or so female prisoners.

The number of male prisoners is much higher than that of female prisoners. Male prisoners are generally put in shackles and sent to major railway companies to build railways.

These male prisoners escorted by Deng Wenqi were going to be sent to the California Railway Company to build the Pacific Railway.

"There are enough prisoners in Reno. Eight or nine thousand people can make up a group of more than a hundred prisoners." Seeing so many prisoners wearing prison uniforms, Liang Yao couldn't help complaining.

"These offenders were not clean before they came to California, and they can't blame me. The good people stayed in more civilized places like San Francisco and Sacramento, and the bad people came to Reno and Carson." Deng Wenqi spread his hands and said.

"It's a pity to send such a good labor force to build roads." Liang Yao looked at these young and strong men and said with emotion.

"The third brother has new arrangements for these prisoners?" Deng Wenqi asked.

"Yes, I have a new arrangement for you. Send it to the San Francisco prison first, which is close to the pier." Liang Yao said with a smile, "Why, I finally came to Nevada, why don't you invite me to your house? ?”

"Remember, the carriage has already been prepared for the three and Lord Fremont." Deng Wenqi turned his head and shouted to the driver not far away.

"Wu Daqi! You have a big temper for driving a car! If you don't drive the car over, let the speaker and members of the assembly walk over to find you? It's easy to fight! You're in debt again, right?"

"Wu Daqi?" Liang Yao frowned, "Why does this name sound familiar?"

"It's the guy who slapped Deng Lan's ass on the Cape Town back then. He couldn't get along in Sacramento, so he went to Reno to pan for gold and fell into my hands." Deng Wenqi laughed, "Does this third brother also have new arrangements? ?”

The reason why Wu Daqi didn't catch up with the car was not because he didn't know Liang Yao, but because he knew Wu Daqi that made him feel uneasy. God knows Liang Yao doesn't hold grudges.

After serving Deng Wenqi as a cow and horse for so long, Wu Daqi was a little afraid of being drawn by Deng Wenqi.

"Damn the small ones! Damn the small ones! I hope the speaker will not remember the villain's mistakes and spare the life of the kid!"

Wu Daqi lowered his head, bravely came to Liang Yao and knelt down with a plop, and then slapped himself with his hands without hesitation.

After a while, Wu Daqi's face was red and swollen from his pumping, but he couldn't feel the pain on his face at all.

At this time, the fear of death in Wu Daqi's heart far exceeded the pain caused by slapping himself.

Wu Daqi still knows how to choose between pain and death.

"Wu Daqi, Wu Daqi, how can you say that you are also the first batch of immigrants to go to San Francisco to seek gold, so you have this ghostly appearance?" Liang Yao said lightly.

The first batch of Chinese gold diggers basically got their start.

Besides Liang Yao, the most promising ones took the gold they found in San Francisco and Sacramento to set up factories in a decent manner and became factory owners.

A little less is to form a farm and become a manor owner, or open a chain store and become a big shopkeeper and a middle-level officer.

Those who are almost able to become captains of shipping companies, junior officers in the army, and become small shopkeepers and farmers, become the middle class in California.

It was the first time Liang Yao saw Lu Daqi mixed up like this and became a coachman, and he was quite surprised.

"Little ones have a bad life, and that's how they should be." Wu Daqi said without thinking, and after finishing speaking, he didn't forget to continue to give himself a big blow.

"This kid is not bad luck. He discovered a big gold mine when he first came to Reno. He just doesn't know the rules, he doesn't know how to praise him, and he just doesn't know how to draw." Deng Wenqi shouted to Lu Daqi.

"Hurry up and drive the car! Do you want the speaker and members to watch you slap you all day long?!"

"Thank you Mayor! Thank you Speaker!"

After Deng Wenqi spoke, Lu Daqi felt relieved, hurriedly wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, got up from the ground with difficulty, and bowed to Liang Yao, Deng Wenqi and others.

"My lords, please get in the car!"
