- The East African Island in the southeastern corner of Africa, later known as Madagascar, is now called the East African Island by the Ming Dynasty. It was occupied by the United South African Trading Company several years ago and became the most important South African Trading Company in Africa. of colonies.
Together with the vast expanse of land at the southernmost tip of Africa, they together formed the South African Union Trading Colony, referred to as the South African Colony.
On the coastline of the southeastern plain of the East African Island, a city full of oriental colors stands on the coastline. Nanzhou City, the core city of the South African colony, is also the largest port on the South African Island and serves as a gateway between East Africa and West Africa. Must pass through the port.
Nanzhou City is located from west to east, with a long coastline, blue sky and white clouds, sunny beaches, and a large number of children playing freely on the beach. Spacious cement roads dotted the city.
Here at the huge docks, a large amount of goods are piled up like mountains. At each dock, large ships are berthed, and dock workers are busy loading and unloading goods. The new gantry cranes powered by steam engines are extremely efficient and can load and unload goods very quickly.
"Woooo~"
Along with the sound of whistles, you can actually see the latest steamships. They are so huge that they are like hills, so that the large sailboats next to them seem several sizes smaller.
Du Mingen strolled leisurely in the port, and was very pleased to see the busy scene in front of him.
Du Mingen was originally just a businessman. Because he heard Liu Jin¡¯s remarks about Huangjin Island at Wangyue Tower in the capital, he boldly invested in a fleet going to Huangjinzhou and even led the team there himself.
In the end, after going through many difficulties and dangers, he finally returned to the Ming Dynasty smoothly. Not only did he bring back huge wealth, but he also brought back the corn, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops that Emperor Hongzhi longed for. After that, he was directly named Taipinghou.
Later, he led the fleet to open up South Sea routes, conquered the Kingdom of Luzon, and led the fleet to open up Western routes, reaching Tianzhu, Ceylon Island, Arabia, East Africa, and the southernmost island of South Africa and the southernmost tip of Africa.
Du Mingen created a generation of sailing legends and became a benchmark in the history of navigation and a figure written into the history books.
As a businessman, he not only gained huge wealth through sailing, but also led the colonial era and the maritime era, and finally won the emperor's enfeoffment.
It can be said that this is definitely a legendary figure.
However, as he grew older and suffered from some diseases caused by several trips to sea, Du Mingen seldom went to sea. Finally, he formed the South African United Trading Company with Liu Jin, Zhang Mao and other Ming Dynasty nobles. He came to the South African island and became the governor of the South African colony. He was stationed on the South African island for a long time and was responsible for the management of the South African colony.
The South African colony is very different from other vassal states and colonies.
The first one is that the South African colony implemented an overall capitalist system similar to that of later generations earlier than the Western Union Corporation. The governor had great power and was responsible for all things in the entire colony.
¡°But the Governor is elected by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Associated Commercial Bank of South Africa and is responsible to all shareholders of the Associated Commercial Bank of South Africa.
Si minus 75z w*. com Si. 牺如 shucang.cc 牺如。 In addition, Liu Jin is the major shareholder of the South African United Commercial Bank, so naturally in order to prevent the Governor from doing It also adopts a decentralized system, which separates the military power and judicial power accordingly. The main persons in charge of each are recommended, elected and negotiated by the shareholders' meeting, and are not subject to appointment or dismissal by the governor.
Secondly, the South African colony has always adhered to the core strategy of creating a cradle of pure Chinese descendants, expelling and cleaning up the indigenous people in the colony, and only allowing female slaves to enter the colony, in order to rapidly increase the population.
Such a policy is unique among many colonies and vassal states.
You must know that here in the colony, the local indigenous population is large, but the number of Ming people who immigrated is very small. In an era when productivity was not developed, manpower was the most important resource.
Indigenous people and slaves are the most important labor force.
¡°You engage in colonial activities, do not enslave the local indigenous people, do not buy slaves, you only rely on immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, and you can develop in a year and a month?
Therefore, except for the United Trading Company of South Africa, other vassal states and colonies used a large number of slaves and local indigenous people to achieve rapid development and become stronger quickly.
In this regard, Ning Guo is the best example.
Ningguo is not only in heavenp;"Master Marquis, another group of immigrants will arrive in our South African colony in two days. Should we follow the old rules?"
Next to Du Mingen, Zhang Yewen, who is in charge of immigration support, is a member of the British Zhang Mao family. In fact, all important positions and leaders in the entire South African colony are held by members of the family members of the shareholders of the South African United Commercial Bank.
"Well, let's follow the old rules. First give him a few female white slaves, and then give him a piece of land, a few horses, two cows, seeds and farm tools."
"By the way, the immigrants who came this time will be assigned to Two Ocean City (the location of Cape Town in later generations, named because it has the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Indian Ocean to the east)."
Mi He Mi. Du Mingen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Hou~"
Zhang Ye quickly nodded and recorded it. The main method of attracting immigrants in the South African colonies is to provide you with a few female white slaves for free to serve as your wives and concubines. In addition, there are horses and cattle. It is definitely the best among all vassals and colonies. Best condition.
There is no way, who makes the shareholders of the South African Union Merchant Bank all wealthy bosses who are willing to spend money to attract immigrants. Other vassals and colonies are not so wealthy
