- You must know that the current market price of a slave in Daming is at least thirty or forty taels of silver, and good-looking female slaves are even more expensive.
"As long as you immigrate to the South African colony, you will be assigned a few female white slaves, a few horses, two cows, land, seeds and farm tools, and houses will also be allocated.
After all, for one immigrant, the South African colony would have to spend several hundred taels of silver.
¡°Only the rich and powerful United Commercial Bank of South Africa can afford such horrific expenditures. Other colonies and vassal countries simply cannot offer such conditions.
Of course this is calculated based on the market price.
In fact, the United Commercial Bank of South Africa does not need that much money at all.
As far as slaves are concerned, the major shareholders behind the South African United Trading Company are the largest slave merchants in the Ming Dynasty. Tianjin Ocean Trading House, which Liu Jin, Zhang Mao and others have a stake in, is the largest trading house in the Ming Dynasty, and the various businesses they engage in are the largest in the Ming Dynasty. of.
Like the slave trade, although King Ning made his fortune from the slave trade, the slave trade done by Ning Guo pales in comparison to the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company.
As the earliest trading company to engage in overseas trade and overseas colonization, and also controlled by Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Mao and other top-level trading companies in the Ming Dynasty, the resources it obtained overseas were simply not comparable to those of ordinary trading companies and vassal states. .
No matter what kind of business it is, it is the first to enter, and it is also the first to dig out gold and quickly expand to become the largest trading house.
Therefore, you can get the most and best slaves at the lowest price. Therefore, a large number of female slaves fell to the South African colony, and the price is only the cost price. In many cases, these slaves do not need money, and they can be obtained through various invisible means. It was brought here to the South African colony by light means.
As for horses, not to mention, there are a large number of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company¡¯s pastures in the best pasture areas around the world.
There are ranches everywhere in Central Asia, the Northern Grasslands, the Southern Golden Continent, Australia, Africa, etc., specializing in breeding excellent horses. At the same time, each of these major shareholders has a large amount of land, pastures, etc. overseas.
For them, horses, cattle and sheep are just products produced in their own pastures, and the cost is very low.
Even with such a luxurious provision for immigrants, they can still afford it, and this policy has been able to be implemented.
This is also the confidence of the South African colony. We do not need the local indigenous Kunlun slaves, nor do we need a large number of imported slaves. We just rely on our Han people. Si minus Si
Under such a policy, after these years of immigration, the number of immigrants attracted by the South African colonies has almost exceeded one million, which is considered to be the largest number of Han Chinese among many overseas vassal states and colonies.
Moreover, the largest number of children in the South African colony were children. One immigrant was assigned several female slaves for free, and they had nothing to do every day to create humans. The number of these children can be imagined. In almost every town, you can see them everywhere, all of them are children. The number is several times that of Han immigrants.
"Master Hou, the number of schools is not enough, and we have to continue to build schools."
Zhang Ye thought for a while and said again.
"Are there not enough schools?"
When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Hou, it's not enough~"
"Master Marquis, you also know that our children here go to school for free. The number of children of the right age to go to school now coincides with the surge in immigration in those years. This year, the number of children of the right age to go to school has exceeded 100,000, and it will start in the next few years. , the number of children going to school will be even greater."
¡°So we need to build more primary schools to meet the schooling needs of these children, and we also need more teachers to teach.¡±
Zhang Ye said helplessly.
Other colonies are trying their best to create wealth and value for their shareholders, but the South African colony still needs shareholders to pour in a lot of money every year.
The reason why this is very important is this policy. The key is to implement compulsory education. Children, regardless of gender, must go to school. Among many vassal states and colonies, this is unique.
"Let's build it. It seems that at the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year, the shareholders will curse again."
Du Mingen thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.
"There is no other way. Who told Mr. Liu to insist on such a policy?"
¡°And next, we will build more middle schools, and we will also build colleges and universities, otherwise middle school children will have no way to continue their studies after graduation.¡±牺&#;#98zw.com 牺如。But relying on agricultural machinery, with steam cultivators and steam harvesters, a farmer can easily cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
The South African colonies are vast and sparsely populated, with fertile, open and flat land, which is very suitable for large-scale mechanized farming. Therefore, from the beginning, the southern colonies have attached great importance to the use of agricultural equipment.
Steam cultivators, steam harvesters, steam rice mills, flour mills, etc., as soon as the Ming Dynasty appeared here, the South African colonies would be able to use them quickly. Now they have even opened a machinery branch factory to produce them themselves. Develop various types of machinery.
¡°It has almost been built and is expected to be put into production by the end of the year.¡±
Zhang Ye replied.
"Can it be put into production at the end of the year?"
¡°In this way, we still have to purchase a lot of steam cultivators and steam harvesters from Daming this year.¡±
Mi He Mi. When Du Mingen heard this, he thought about it and said.
"Yes, I still have to buy a lot this year. I have already placed the order very early. It is estimated that it will be shipped over in a month or two, and it will not delay this year's farming season."
Zhang Ye nodded, and then he suddenly remembered something and said: "Japan and North Korea recently opened up colonies in West Africa, hoping to buy food from us. Should we also go to West Africa to seize some colonies?"
