Chapter 621 Colonial Features
In the colonies, even the most ordinary Ming people could live an extremely prosperous life.

However, not everyone is like that.

For naturalized people, perhaps naturalization can double their income, but there are still many restrictions on the invisible ceiling.

After all, Daming people are Daming people, and Guihuamin are Guihuamin.

However, for Wu Tailang, being a naturalized citizen is enough to make him excited. Even now he still remembers when he just took the oath of naturalization a year ago, he knelt in the naturalization hall excitedly, using fluent Nanjing mandarin expresses allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor over and over again.

In fact, before he became a naturalized citizen, he had shown his loyalty to the empire on the battlefield time and time again. In the sword drawing team, when he quelled the tribal rebellion, he once hacked and killed nearly a hundred people. With outstanding military exploits, he will become the first batch of naturalized citizens of Guinea Company.

After being naturalized, he didn't intend to stay in the knife-drawing team. He hoped to change his destiny through business. Even now, he doesn't marry a native woman like other team members.

After all, here, the classification of identities is very clear.If he marries a native woman, it means that his identity will always remain in the middle and lower classes of society.After all, he is a naturalized citizen.The status itself is not high.

"In Guinea, even the most common Ming family has five or six maids. Some famous families have at least fifty maids, just like them..."

In the restaurant, Taketaro set his sights on the waitresses who are busy in the restaurant, they are often the maids of the master's house.

As a civilized country, Ming Dynasty definitely had no slaves. These indigenous maids were all local "contract female workers". Although the cheapness might only be three meals and a few cents of wages, they were definitely not slaves.

"It's everything we deserve to enjoy."

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Zhang Zhi said proudly.

"This is our reward for pioneering this savage land far from the Empire itself."

Anyone living in a colony will do as the Romans do. Compared to Europeans, Ming Dynasty is very civilized. At least they don’t cut off their hands at every turn. Even in the face of rebellion, they try to kill as little as possible. At most, they are forced to serve That's all.Even if local laborers are recruited to build roads and open mines, they are paid.

What is civilization, this is civilization!
As for the civilization those Europeans talked about there, it was just lip service.For them, they never took those natives as human beings.

"Yes, Zhang Jun, this is indeed what we should enjoy!"

Taketaro nodded in agreement again and again, can you disagree.

"However, Zhang Jun, don't you realize that there is a business opportunity in it!"

"what?"

As soon as Zhang Zhi heard about the business opportunity, he immediately became interested.

"Maid training!"

Wu Taro said with some excitement.

"Zhang Jun, thousands of Ming people come here every year. Of course, they need someone to take care of their daily life. Those maids should be able to speak the Ming language. They should have received strict training, understand etiquette, and know the duty of a servant. of."

Although Taketaro was born in a declining noble family, even though he never had a servant when he was in Japan, his older sister was a servant of the feudal lord's family.

"Now, those servants have not been trained at all. How can such people serve their masters? Therefore, I think it is necessary for us to establish a maid school to train maids. Then introduce them to their masters. What we need It’s just a little training fee.”

Staring at Zhang Zhi, Wu Taro said proudly.

"You know, this is a market for tens of thousands of people every year. Even if a maid charges a few dollars, that's a market worth tens of thousands of dollars!"

Tens of thousands of dollars!
In an instant, Zhang Zhi's heart was moved!
He thought about it for a while, there was a lot to do about this matter, and he even took the initiative to say it.

"We don't have to train for others, we can also train a group of our own maids, and then rent them out to those newcomers, two yuan a month, no, one yuan and five, in this case, our profit will be at least one yuan and thirty cents money……"

Well, the salary of a maid is generally only 5 cents, but it is just three meals a day, and the employer provides four sets of work clothes every year.Calculated in this place in Guinea, it is considered a lot of money. You must know that the wages of those "contract laborers" who go to work on the construction site are only [-] cents.That is, one yuan salary for those who go overseas.

Of course, this salary level is linked to the price level, and of course the colonies cannot be the same as the natives.

At this time, Wu Taro didn't even know how brilliant the career he created here was, and it was after him that the colonial maids almost became a sign of Ming in Africa, and almost every Ming who lived and worked in the colonies, In their memoirs, they would use all kinds of praise to describe their maids, and even added the term "black pearl" in Da Ming's context, which was specially used to describe those well-trained maids.If it weren't for the ban on colonial residents not being allowed to enter the mainland without an amnesty, I am afraid that those "black pearls" would allow more Ming people to experience the first-class service "like an emperor".

However, that kind of "imperial service" can only be enjoyed by Emperor Zhu himself. Even on an airship with a small space, as the emperor, he can enjoy an exclusive box, which is different from that of other people outside the cabin. Unlike that cot, his bed was even upholstered.

When the airship flew over Guinea, Zhu Xianhai, who was lying on the bed, deliberately looked towards the ground. Although the airship did not need to land in Guinea, Emperor Zhu still let the airship pass by.

This is Daming's colony!

Looking down from the air on the green gem-like Guinea on the ground, in fact, the purpose of occupying this land could not be simpler, it is for iron ore.

Perhaps, this is one of the biggest advantages of being a future person. Although there is no large-scale iron mine in Daming's territory, this large iron mine in Guinea with reserves of billions of tons can just solve Daming's urgent needs.

Even in Emperor Zhu's plan, even if Brazil's iron ore is mined in the future, Guinea's iron ore is still extremely important-its ore can be exported to European countries such as France and the United Kingdom.Well, there is also the North German Federation. Germany, which failed to cut Alsace and Lorraine from France, must also need Guinea iron ore.

"Everything is under control!"

When he sighed like this again, Emperor Zhu was so proud!
The reason why he is so proud is that the land under the airship is not only vast.And the vast majority of the area is still a land of no man.

If it can seize the opportunity, Ming can completely turn this vast land into a colony of Ming while the attention of Europeans is attracted by Turkey and other places.

By that time, Ming Dynasty would really be the largest colonial empire in the world.

"Africa, here is also extremely rich."

Looking at this land from the airship, Emperor Zhu smiled slightly. At this moment, he saw a future...
