Wild North America 1846

Chapter 685 Immigration Policy and the Auto Industry

Allowing Chinese immigrants to freely enter South and North American countries is a new policy of the Tang Empire government after entering the 19s, and it seems that the implementation effect is quite good.

Most of the voluntary immigrants to other countries are businessmen, plantation owners or adventurers. Under the good environment of the unified American market, Chinese immigrants who are good at doing business bravely go out to find new development opportunities.

Many Chinese immigrants have achieved success abroad, and through the vigorous publicity in the newspapers, more compatriots have been inspired to go out.

Chinese businessmen have developed smoothly in many South American and North American countries, and have gained important influence in the business and political circles.This helps to expand the Chinese cultural circle, and also helps the rich products of the Tang Empire enter the local market.

After the population of the Tang Empire reached 1 million, Emperor Richard and the imperial government were thinking about such issues;

How can Chinese Americans get more involved in the political and economic life of American countries?
How can Mandarin become the common language in America?

How to make American countries understand and love Chinese culture more deeply, accept the influence of oriental culture, and be included in the oriental cultural circle?
The millions of Chinese laborers imported to the Brazilian Empire pointed out a correct path for the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Empire; that is the import of Chinese immigrants.

Due to the extreme shortage of labor force, the Brazilian Empire imported a large number of black slaves, and it was also the last bastion of slavery in South America.

All this changed after the Second South American War.

After the war in 1868, the Brazilian Empire promised to abandon slavery. According to the intergovernmental agreement, the Datang Empire would import millions of Chinese laborers to the Brazilian Empire in the next ten years.

The immigration costs are borne by the Brazilian Empire. The Brazilian Empire promises to give Chinese immigrants equal pay for equal work, and to effectively protect the property and personal safety of immigrants in marriage, employment, property purchase and judicial aspects.

Judging from the results of subsequent practice, the Imperial Government of Brazil kept its promise. Over the past 10 years, as many as 131 million Chinese laborers have been imported, which has greatly alleviated the labor gap in the Brazilian Empire and is an important guarantee for the rapid recovery of its agricultural economy.

After the agreement expired in 1878, the Tang and Ba countries renewed a long-term Chinese labor import agreement, which continued to provide immigration to the Brazilian Empire at a rate of about 12 to 13 people per year.

This long-term agreement has supported more than [-] ocean-going shipping companies in the Datang Empire, found a new way out for a large number of refugees suffering from hunger and cold in China, and solved the acute labor conflict in the Brazilian Empire.

Today
The Chinese population in the Brazilian Empire has reached more than 477 million (note, most Chinese start a family and have children locally), accounting for more than [-]% of the population. Chinese neighborhoods can be seen everywhere, and Chinese factories, plantations and pastures are everywhere. All, showing obvious Chinese socialization.

As the saying goes; intentionally planting trees will not live, and unintentionally planting willows will make a row.

It is precisely because of Brazil's successful case that the Datang Empire has implemented a policy of fully liberalizing population movement, intending to achieve changes in the social and demographic structures of American countries through decades or hundreds of years of hard work.

It does not seek to occupy the position of the largest ethnic group in all countries in the Americas, at least it is also the main ethnic group, and it has an important influence that cannot be ignored in the political, economic, and military fields.

In fact, Paraguay and Uruguay have been fully Chineseized, no different from the overseas provinces of the empire. Even the textbooks used in Chinese schools are the same. Many middle and high-level government graduates come from Taoyuan School of Administration.

The trend of Chinese descent in Brazil and Argentina is also obvious, although the population is still smaller than that of whites.However, Chinese Americans can’t stand the practice of polygamy, and they also advocate the traditional concept of having more children and more blessings. They are more productive than white families!
in North America

In the Republic of Florida, the Republic of Mississippi, the Kingdom of Kentucky, the Kingdom of Oklahoma, and several states in the north of the United States, Chinese ethnicity is very obvious and has become the largest ethnic group in the local society.

It is expected that by the end of this century or the first ten years of the next century, these countries will become Chinese-dominated countries. This is the power of the Datang Empire's liberalization of immigration policies.

In some countries with few Chinese immigrants, such as the Republic of Carolina, Canada, the states in the south-central United States, Venezuela, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, the proportion of the Chinese population is between 5% and 15%.

Countries with relatively small populations include Chile, Venezuela, and Bolivia. The Chinese population is between 5% and 7%, which is the smallest area in South America.

Peru is the first country to sell guano, and it is also a wealthy country in South America. There are many immigrants going to this country to do business and set up plantations. The Chinese population accounts for about 9.2%, which is basically the same as that of Canada.

The Republic of Carolina had a large number of Chinese immigrants in the middle of the 19th century. After the Second North American War, in 2, due to the severe shortage of male population after the war, a large number of Chinese immigrants entered the region.

As of 1886, the Chinese population in this area accounted for about 13.7% of the total population, which is the third largest ethnic group after whites and blacks. They are mainly engaged in commerce, trade, catering and transportation in the Republic of Carolina, especially in the country 80% of the shipping business for foreign exports is controlled by ethnic Chinese.

Compared with other separatist regions of the former Confederate States of America, the Republic of Carolina has the lowest proportion of Chinese population. It is politically close to the United Kingdom and closely related to France. It is a maverick in the "American League".

The Republic of Carolina, together with Canada, often questioned the unified American market policy implemented by the Datang Empire. It was an out-and-out spoiler, and thus was suppressed by the Datang Empire on the North American continent.

Even so
The Republic of Carolina did not dare to deliberately suppress and exclude the Chinese ethnic group, nor did it dare to adopt high tariffs on the dumped goods of the Datang Empire.

Be very cautious everywhere, because beside you is the army of the Tang Empire, who is always staring at them with ill intentions.

If an excuse is found, it will be followed by a storm of blows.

The high-level officials of the Carolina Republic also know in their hearts;

The Tang Empire has always acted domineeringly, and it's fine to sing a different tune on some insignificant issues.If you jump out and object on important issues, you will be cleaned up sooner or later.

Therefore, on the issue of the establishment of the "Pan-Pacific Cooperation Organization", the Republic of Carolina obediently chose to cooperate, while Canada, which strongly opposed it, is still an observer country.

Enter March 1887
In 1886, the last year of the Tang Empire, various national economic statistics were released one after another. Among them, the gross national product reached 143.6 billion Tang yuan, which was about 1.41 times that of the British Empire itself.

However, the statistics of the United Kingdom include 3100 million square kilometers of colonies (note, the peak of the 3300 million colonies in the United Kingdom has not yet been reached at this time), with a total population of about 3.4 million, and the total economic output is still higher than that of the Tang Empire.

With 40 years of rapid economic development, the Tang Empire is a country leading the second wave of the world's industrial revolution, leading the world in the fields of chemical industry and electrification, and has already left European countries behind.

After decades of development in the automobile industry, more than 10 automobile manufacturers have emerged. The automobile products cover two major categories of gasoline engines and diesel engines, and have developed many subdivisions such as cars, trucks, pickups, and buses.

By the end of 1886
The number of automobiles in the entire society in the Tang Empire reached 61.7. Driving a car became a new way of life, and it began to enter middle-class families on a large scale and spread in depth.

Datang Empire's car ownership accounted for 87% of the world's total, and if other North American countries were added, this proportion would reach 93.6%, ranking first in the world's auto industry.

The reason why the automobile industry in North America develops so smoothly is that there are several factors that cannot be ignored.

First of all, Datang Empire's well-developed mechanical industry has already ranked among the top in the world, and it is even more unique in the field of serial diesel and gasoline engine production.

The millions of farms and ranches in Datang have created a huge agricultural machinery market and a well-developed agricultural machinery industry in the Datang Empire. The development of the automobile industry has also benefited from this.

Second, the abundant domestic resources are the basis for the further popularization of the automobile industry.

The Datang Empire monopolized the world's petrochemical industry. Domestic gasoline, diesel, lubricating oil and heavy oil products are cheap and popular, and petroleum products can be easily bought in grocery stores in urban and rural areas.

Some large petrochemical companies have even built special car gas stations in cities to provide very convenient services for car users.This new thing has been well received and has greatly promoted the entry of cars into thousands of households.

Comparison
Europe is a traditional oil-poor region. All petrochemical products have to be imported from the Tang Empire. After adding tariffs and high profits, the prices of kerosene, gasoline, diesel and heavy oil have doubled several times, and the cost of using machinery is high.

This includes agricultural machinery and automobiles, as well as shipping, power generation equipment and machine tools used by factories and enterprises. The cost is much higher than that of the Datang Empire.

For example, natural rubber, which is widely used in automobiles, and tires are indispensable products.

Datang Empire is the largest producer of natural rubber, occupying 78% of the world's natural rubber market. The price of domestic tires is much cheaper, while the export price must at least double or two.

The third factor, of course, is the market.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Datang Empire has developed peacefully for more than 40 years without encountering war (note, referring to the country). Now it has developed into a world-class industrial and agricultural economic power, and has cultivated a large number of middle classes.

Especially the wealthy urban class and the vast number of farmers and ranchers have a huge social demand for cars that can improve the quality of life and labor efficiency.

Point 4, the vast territory of the Datang Empire, the developed and perfect road transportation system and modern urban transportation all provide fertile soil for the development of the automobile industry.

The combination of several factors has created the reputation of the Tang Empire as a "country on wheels", and it is also the place that the people are most proud of.
