"Red-headed Ah San?"

"That's right, this is the Moro fork imported from the British in our Southeast Province, our Southeast Province is short of people, these people are honest and easy to use, so let them be assistant policemen and followers of our Chinese police!"

"Why do you call them Ah San?" The recruit asked, curious.

"Because of Java now, we Chinese are the bosses, and the Imperial Association Army is the second, they are the third, and they are red-headed, so they are called red-headed Ah San!" The old man explained.

"Imperial Army?" Everyone heard new terms again.

"The Imperial Association Army is not naturalized, and the soldiers who help our Chinese, including foreigners, Japanese people, Koreans, Annamites, etc., as well as indigenous people, are collectively referred to as the Imperial Association Army...... "The old man was very talkative and told everyone.

Ah, Yan Dashao, a guy from a democratic and civilized society, has made a lot of historical regression, and the retro system has come from the former Yuan people, and has given people grades, a total of four levels!

As the old man said, the first class is Chinese; The second-class people are mainly Caucasian and those ethnic groups in the Han culture circle in Southeast Asia; In fact, the red-headed Ah San mainly refers to the Sikhs in India, the Ah San who believe in Hinduism, and the indigenous people who believe in Mazu, including the indigenous people who participated in the Imperial Cooperative Army; The fourth-class people are the rest of the natives!

In the province of Java, the ruling government collects a poll tax, which men have to pay every year until they reach the age of sixteen, which is a very unfair tax:

Chinese are exempt from paying taxes;

The second-class people pay the "one calculation", that is, those who have lived in the southeastern province for more than three months pay a poll tax of 120 copper a year, and people of all nationalities who join the Imperial Allied Army are exempted from the poll tax, after all, it is dangerous to join the army and they need to work hard;

The third-class people have to pay two calculations, but in the same way, the red-headed Asan-patrolman and the natives who participated in the Imperial Cooperative Army were exempted from taxation, and it was stipulated that the aborigines who participated in the Imperial Cooperative Army could only believe in Mazu, and they could not believe in it;

The fourth-class people are the indigenous peoples, who are in a state of dire straits, and they have to pay the tax of "four calculations", that is, 480 coppers.

If you can't pay your taxes, you have to work for free for the ruling government for a month!

If you don't pay taxes and don't work in the government, you will be reduced to a fifth-class person who is not in the limelight: slaves.

Slaves are people who are not paid and have no personal freedom, but the slavery system in the southeast province is quite humane: first, it cannot be abused for no reason, if the slave is beaten to death for no reason, the murderer who is caught, no matter what kind of citizen he is, will all be sentenced in this way, including the Chinese, and the labor reform will not be a family; The second is to give food to the slaves, encourage the slave owners to let them eat enough, and try to adopt incentives rather than coercion; The third is that the slave will be emancipated after a certain period of time and will be restored to a free man, and there will be no permanent slaves.

In this hierarchical individual system, Han children are not slaves, and Chinese people will not become slaves under any circumstances, at most, they will become poor after bankruptcy, and they cannot consume extravagantly;

Preferential treatment for whites is not to worship foreigners, but to consider that whites also have battleships and can threaten the Chinese, so we have to show them, and we have preferential treatment for you whites, so as to occupy the moral high ground.

Give the second-class and third-class people a room to rise, that is, after they have achieved a certain contribution, they can pass the Chinese test, can speak Chinese, identify with Han culture, and can become a first-class person, that is, "naturalization", specifically known as getting a "green card". The third-class class becomes the second-class person after making a certain contribution, and there are indicators every year.

There are many preferential treatments for becoming a first-class person, such as the right to join the army and join the government, the right to divide the land without paying the land endowment, the free education for children to eat free breakfast and lunch, the right to receive welfare medical treatment, and so on, which also prompts the second-class people to work hard to climb up and the third-class people to actively move closer to the second-class people.

Encourage the Asans to embrace Hinduism, as long as they follow such a religion, then they will never rise!

In the process of realizing the four ranks, a large number of people of the fourth rank became slaves, and there were even things that made the southeast province laugh, and those natives took the initiative to become slaves.

Because they are lazy, have a low IQ, do not know how to make a living, cannot earn money, and live a hard life, since the Chinese say that slaves cannot be starved to death, as long as they become slaves, they have to be raised, so the natives themselves become slaves, for example, they deliberately do not pay the poll tax, do not go to labor, that is, become slaves.

Work for the Chinese, and the Chinese have to support them...... So much so that Prime Minister Chen Xinji, who later investigated, said helplessly: "People are invincible, they have taken the initiative to be slaves, what else can we do with them!" ”

But to abuse them, Yan Dashao disagreed, saying that it was against Mazu Niangniang's mercy, and everyone praised the boss's kindness in unison on the surface, but they didn't think so in private.

Those foreign red-haired fans slandered Yan Dashao is: "not only to do Bichi, but also to set up archways", and finally found a solution to the foreign problem: outsourcing!

The slaves were managed by a company composed of the four King Kongs, the whites, the Japanese, the Koreans, and the Annamites, and the slaves were miserable, and there was a slave's soul under every meter of concrete road, while the arrogant civil officials in the southeast province who were in charge of issuing the contracts and wore straight tunics pretended not to know about it.

They did everything, we Chinese people didn't have a little blood on our hands, and our morality was white and flawless, didn't we?

……

The 9th Battalion of Engineering was stationed thirty miles outside of Java, and it was getting dark, so the recruits stayed overnight at the barracks on the outskirts of the city, where the food was good and free, and they were very comfortable with a shower, and then they went shopping.

I found that Java City is already super prosperous, with many people and goods, bursting with restaurants, and accents from all over the world are mixed together, and it is very lively.

They discover a novelty: the auction of slaves!

In the market in the west of the city, dragons and snakes gathered, slave owners set up their slave pens and auction tables, and there were all kinds of slaves, including whites, asans, persians, Arabs, and the largest number were natives.

The slaves stood on the stage, unarmed, forced to show their bodies by slave owners and guards with leather whips!

The slave owners who came from the slave trade, including whites, Japanese people, Koreans, Annamite, West Asians, Arabs, and Assan, etc., just did not see the Chinese.

They are ruthless and ruthless in selling their own people.

There are many slaves, and there are many people who buy them, and they are popular, and the sound of the auction is loud and hot!

In the constant bidding, a strong white slave or a West Asian slave was worth 20 silver dollars, while a beautiful female slave was worth 50 silver dollars, and the average brown-skinned lad might be ten silver dollars a silver dollar, or even a bonus and a free gift.

Among them was an unusually beautiful Arab girl, with an extremely delicate appearance, and everyone rushed to bid, and she was sold at auction for a whopping hundred and fifty-eight silver dollars!

This slave market flourished after Major General Yan Da demoted the natives of Batavia to slaves, and since there were slaves, there was a market, and at the same time, those guys from various countries heard the wind and did everything they could to make money, and a large number of slaves were traded, forming this thriving slave market.

Qiu Fengji saw it, he was shy, went back to the military station to stay, lay on the bed, and was still thinking about the Arab slave girl, who had a shameful dream* that night, and her pants were wet!
