Chapter 1164 Discourage the principle

Now there are no officials who oppose Xiao Ruxun's policy of foreign exchanges and business. This has brought great benefits to Daqin, far better than the Japanese silver mines obtained through the war.

But needless to say, the whole of Japan is rich in silver. Although it is only a tiny island country, it has a population of tens of millions, and it is an excellent labor force.

Xiao Ruxun, who needed more labor to develop the wasteland in Southwest Lingnan and occupy and develop the unclaimed land around Daqin, couldn't help but move his mind to Japan. The population of tens of millions in this small island country is really a great temptation.

Daqin is now estimated to have a population of more than [-] million, but the development of the vast traditional underdeveloped areas such as Southwest, Northwest, Liaodong and Lingnan is far from adequate.

Among other things, the development of these places in Guizhou, Jiangxi, Yunnan, and Guangxi is very inadequate. I don’t know how many tribes are almost in a primitive state. There are still many uncultivated emperors, and the agricultural potential is far from being fully tapped. out to the point.

Xiao Ruxun feels that with the gradual popularization of high-yield crops, it is no problem for Daqin to have a population of [-]-[-] million more. After the great voyages and the industrial revolution, it is not a problem for the population to double again.

Although currently holding the world's largest population and labor force, Xiao Ruxun still feels that the population is not enough.

There is a shortage of people, a great shortage of people, and a shortage of young people.

In a short period of time, Daqin also needs a large number of people to serve the infrastructure of various places. Xiao Ruxun can conscript strong men, but the strong men still have to cultivate the land, so the use of people's power should not be excessive, let alone waste farming time. There are many restrictions, so he naturally The idea of ​​plundering the foreign population arose.

Kunlun slave?
The long journey costs too much money. If you don’t want to do it yourself, you need to use Europeans as intermediaries. On the contrary, you earn too much money for them, and it will be a trouble in the future.

North Korea is a cute and cute vassal state, a bonsai state displayed by Daqin to the outside world, calling on all countries to come to join Daqin and become the bonsai of Daqin's vassal state, and it cannot be moved.

People from the Southeast Asian countries are lazy, cunning and treacherous, and they are not good candidates for labor.

Then the Japanese, who have the same appearance as the Chinese and have the same quality of hard work and hard work, are the best choice.

Men used them to work as coolies in various places to contribute to the cause of Great Qin Daxie, while women used them to be wives for bachelors in various places or soldiers without wives in the army, to have children, and to supplement the population, which is the best choice.

It happened that Xiao Ruxun never forgot to solve the Japanese problem thoroughly, but put it on hold temporarily, planning to deal with them when he had time and energy.

Although Japan was divided into two halves by the First World War seven years ago, since then, there have been no major military activities. Wu Weizhong is only responsible for monitoring and regulating, not for starting the war again, and the Ming court will not allow him Start the war without authorization.

The time limit for restricting Japan's development through war reparations has also passed for several years. Under the pressure of China, the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans did not dare to fight, but devoted themselves to development, and each has accumulated good strength.

According to the reports of Wu Weizhong and Blackwater intelligence spies, the West Japan controlled by the Tokugawa clan and the East Japan controlled by the Toyotomi clan are both developing well.

Several years have passed, and the two wolves have licked their wounds. The wounds have almost healed, and they are eager to try again.

A year ago, if Xiao Ruxun hadn't made a show of supporting Wu Weizhong and added [-] troops to his garrison, we don't know if those two evil wolves would take the opportunity to do bad things.

It just so happened that Xiao Ruxun had no other constraints.

As the emperor, the power is in his hands, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are eager to fight.

It is not a matter of a day or two for Qinglongying and Zhuqueying to fight. Jiang Dahai has been complaining that there is no room for navy.

Qualified leaders need to give their subordinates room to play. Xiao Ruxun is not allowed to repeat the incident of putting swords and guns into Kuma and releasing Nanshan in Daqin.

Even if the surrounding area is invincible, no matter how peaceful the interior is, Daqin's armaments cannot be relaxed, and there must be one that should be there.

Xiao Ruxun's original plan was to deal with Japan after cleaning up the southwestern chieftains, and completely eliminate Japan.

Clean up their emperors, shoguns, generals, and samurai from all over the country, and then rob the labor force to Daqin to work as coolies, and the women are plundered to be wives for mud-legged people who can’t marry a wife. The heroes of Daqin.

Xiao Ruxun had long ago decided not to award land to the meritorious officials in Daqin's inherent land, but he also knew that the officials held money and were not allowed to buy land and buy houses. They really didn't know how to spend it, and they could deal with it in a short time. , Over time, problems will arise.

And Daqin will inevitably embark on the road of foreign expansion and wanton occupation of colonies. The colonies will mainly be concentrated around the commercial routes, and these colonies are directly managed by the central government.

But there are still many unclaimed lands in the world, there are many other colonies, and the central government does not have enough power to manage them, so what should we do?

It's very simple. In the name of rewards, those unclaimed wastelands are awarded to heroes, and let heroes choose suitable children to go to sea to manage those overseas wastelands.

At the same time, maritime merchants who go out to do business are "not encouraged" to occupy some unowned wasteland, plant something, and operate something.

These are all "not encouraged".

In this way, occupy the land of no man.

Xiao Ruxun, who is familiar with the subsequent historical process, is very clear that even if someday in the future, these places may embark on the road of independent nation building, but these places have left behind Chinese descendants, language, culture and traditions, and the relationship between the colony and the suzerain country is completely ok. Form an existence similar to the "Commonwealth of Nations".

Even if there is no actual benefit, they are intrigues with each other, but as the suzerain country, they can gain an important right to speak and manipulate public opinion.

It is very important to be skilled in manipulating world public opinion. It has the magical effect of turning black and white to deceive the public. This is the experience that China has summed up after suffering a lot.

China has a large population, but occupies very few places, so that it is restricted by people everywhere.

Europeans would never have expected that their great voyages would bring so much convenience to establishing colonies everywhere, but they did so out of necessity. Even if those colonies got rid of their control and established themselves as independent countries, the impact of long-term colonization would be negative. Is it that easy to remove?

Independent, independent rather limited.

Occupying the colony also has the function of transferring the domestic conflicts to the outside. This is also a way for Xiao Ruxun to leave to future generations to avoid the "population trap" that may arise in the future, and another way for Huaxia to escape the cycle of reincarnation.

However, for a long time, the vision of people living on the land of China has been restricted. Their ancestors have lived on the land for generations, and they have natural confusion and fear of the sea.

This is not to say that the Chinese children and grandchildren's field of vision is not wide enough, but that the Chinese Shenzhou is so big that they don't think they need to look outside.

However, no matter how big the land is, it is not too big, because people's desires are always infinite.

To broaden their horizons, Xiao Ruxun needs to make a sample in person, and Japan is the best choice for the sample.

While cutting off the future troubles, it can also reap a wave of shortage of labor and female population to fill. In this way, this is a good business with huge profits.

Over the years, through explaining to Wu Weizhong and infiltrating the Blackwater troops, Xiao Ruxun has completely grasped the terrain of Japan and their lifeline, including all the trump cards they are hiding.
