During the early development of South Africa, it was mainly the period of Chinese conquest, during which although there were constant wars, they were all wars of conquest, but there were not many internal contradictions, the country expanded rapidly, and the order was stable.

Brought from China, even if there is some regression in the coating system, it is still more rigorous and more organized than the local clans and tribes, and to put it bluntly, it is advanced.

As a result, slave owners continued to buy slaves and open up new estates. The biggest beneficiaries are the Chinese, who have brought agricultural technology and promoted it in Africa, which is a huge boost and development for the local economy. Combined with the natural conditions of the region, the wealth created is unimaginable in the history of Africa.

This period of expansion lasted for 30 years, and by the time of Huashana's reign, the expansion gradually ended, and Huashana began to use more of the traditional policy of household consolidation to govern the country, at this time the expansion period of the Kingdom of South Africa stopped, but the speed of development was not slow. It's just that from external expansion to internal development, there are a large number of ownerless emperors in the country, and the continuous African savannah, tropical rainforests, and primeval forests all need to be developed.

However, this internal development is not only the development of agriculture, but also the development of gold mines, the introduction of industrial and mining technology, and the simultaneous development of industry. To this day, there are still large tracts of undeveloped land in South Africa. In the vast grasslands, there are herds of wild animals. No matter how you look at this, it cannot be said that it is a fully developed country. Although South Africa has a population of 100 million, it has a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers, and it can still be said to be a vast and sparsely populated country.

Needless to say, Huashana and the large influx of Chinese, they will inevitably create an agrarian society, combined with slavery in South Africa, a large estate with a vast area, even the rich and noble children of the loser, there are one or two hundred acres of ancestors handed down, and it is classified as a sacrificial industry, protected by law, even if the government raids the ancestral property.

But gradually there were some yeoman farmers, small landlords plus tenants, yeoman farmers and tenants, and yeoman farmers and landlords. Such an agrarian economy would inevitably require free agricultural labor, which would objectively have an impact on slave manufacturing. Even if it is not intentional, there are cases of harboring fugitive slaves, or misusing them.

The development of industrial and mining industries, such as the gold mines in South Africa, because mainly African companies operate, in the early days when Xie Qinggao was there, the moral standard was high, although he was forced to have no choice but to buy slave mining, but Xie Qinggao often quickly emancipated the slaves, and gave wages to slave mining, and the wages were not low, just a gold mine, these years produced as many as three or five million free blacks.

In addition, in the old South African region, especially in the coastal areas, a considerable primary processing industry has been formed. Many of the prisoners who were exiled at that time, including workers, even skilled workers and management, refused to take the money from the South African government to develop the wasteland and then buy slaves as slave owners, or to engage in slave repair business, many of them started small businesses and eventually opened various factories.

The Kingdom of South Africa has a vast land, the plantation economy tends to be more profitable, and the production of cash crops such as wool, cotton and linen is huge, and the business of primary processing and then exporting these raw materials is profitable, and continuous industrial zones have been formed along the coast, along the rivers and along the main transportation routes.

It can be said that South Africa's relatively loosely managed society was much better than the strict Manchu industrial development. A large part of this is that they have long lacked the ability to manage business, and many commercial policies are simply managed by African companies, and customs, railways, and minerals are mostly controlled and operated by African companies, or auctioned off by African companies to other commercial companies to operate, and management fees are charged.

After the development of these industrial and mining industries, their demand for free labor became more urgent, and the one-time investment in the purchase of slaves was too high, making it difficult for the primary processing industry with low profit margins to support, so they were the industrial group that used the fugitive slaves in the largest number of them, and they were deeply contradicted with the slave owner class.

Even so, in a country with vast expansive developable land and unsaturated agricultural development, African companies were able to persuade the Kingdom of South Africa to abolish slavery because it had too much influence over the country, and could even say that it could subvert the huge country at any time.

African companies not only build and control the Kingdom's railway network, port terminals, and vital minerals, but also provide nearly one-third of the Kingdom's tax revenue, half of which comes from gold mines. South Africa's gold mines produce 10 million taels a year, equivalent to more than 400 tons, of which the profit is as high as 5 or 6 million taels, and the African company has been sharing half of the profits with the South African government in accordance with the agreement.

African companies have also used the gold to establish banks, which have become one of the largest banks in the world in terms of gold reserves, monopolizing the issuance of South African banknotes and providing continuous loans to the South African government. Using the profits from gold mines and loans, they also develop other minerals and operate other industries in South Africa; The most important thing is to build a railway network centered on the three sheep cities of Beijing in South Africa, with a total length of more than 100,000 kilometers, which is the world's top three railway network, second only to China, the United States, and even longer than the British railway.

Such a degree of control, combined with China's influence, would certainly have been able to persuade South Africa to abolish slavery.

After all, King Huashana knew very well in his heart who his family could rely on to enjoy the country in South Africa. The Huashana family was born from the elite class of the Mengbaqi during the Jiaqing period, but soon broke with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then trembled, and it has been African companies that have helped them to this day, and the Chinese are nostalgic.

Politically, they were attached to China, accepted the canonization of the Chinese emperor, and were quite humble and courteous every year. Because of the rapid expansion, too large, and too light, a strong regime was never formed. The area where the Farsana decree can be vigorously enforced is limited to old South Africa. A large number of mining magnates, business forces, and plantation owners in the country colluded with the independent tribes, so that the king did not dare to move. There have even been various warlords in the border areas who have evolved from slave replenishment teams, these big warlords occupy 100,000 million acres of land, own mines, farmland, slaves, and privately store thousands of troops, and in the international world, after the Hessian mercenaries, they have become a new mercenary force, once the king wants to move them, they will be a million army.

The border mercenary group controls millions of private armed forces, and the hinterland tribal forces control 20 million free blacks, all of which are forces that the king cannot suppress.

Therefore, although European countries want South Africa to send diplomatic representatives to trade with South Africa because of its huge size, South Africa has always positioned itself as an ordinary vassal state and entrusted diplomatic power to China, which makes them have little voice in the world and no international influence.

Even so, Zhou Bo was able to persuade Hua Shana to abolish slavery, and he also gave a lot of guarantees to the other party, otherwise it was not that Hua Shana did not want to abolish slavery, but that he could not afford to abolish slavery. The old South African region is good to say that there is a large unified government with a bureaucratic management. But the tribal areas, the border areas, will definitely rebel. Without the assurances of the African company, Huashana would never dare to take this step.

But once there was the guarantee of the African company, Huashana not only dared to do it, but also actively wanted to do it, because the tribes in the interior and the warlords in the frontier had long been his confidants. It is precisely through the hands of African companies that these forces will be eliminated.

But the purpose of the African company was to abolish slavery, not to fight war, so he was reluctant to push the slave-owning class into a hurry. The purpose of Huashana is to cut down the domain, not to fight, and it is certainly better to weaken the power of the tribes and warlords without fighting. The programmes offered by African companies have the potential to achieve their goals without bloodshed.

The abolition of slavery is divided into three parts: the first part, all black slaves under the age of eighteen at a time; In this part, because there is no full ability to work, basically the slave owners are raising slaves, so the opposition to the liberation of this group of slave slaves is even smaller; In the second part, the government buys a one-time redemption of black slaves under the age of 50 who are able to work, and these black slaves are in the prime of life, and it is impossible for the slave owner to hand them over without paying; The third part is to solve the problem of the livelihood of black slaves over 50 years old, and the government requires these black slaves to continue to live in the original way in the master's house.

It can be said that this method of abolition is to redeem part of it, sacrifice part of it, and redeem part of it. The government bears the cost of young and middle-aged black slaves, slave owners bear the cost of older black slaves, and the cost of abolition is shared between the government and slave owners.

The most difficult thing is not actually the procedure for the abolition of slavery, but how to ensure social order after the abolition of slavery, and the core is to effectively solve the problem of the survival of slaves, otherwise the liberated slaves will be a powerful time bomb that will explode at any time.

The government granted a ten-year tax exemption to slave owners, which was not only to appease slave owners and reduce the pressure on slave owners, but also to reduce the pressure on slaves, if slave owners went bankrupt, they would naturally not be able to feed millions of elderly black slaves. If the government takes over the resettlement, the cost is high and the efficiency is low. In addition, these elderly slaves have lived in the families of slave owners for most of their lives, and as long as the slave owners are not cold-blooded, they have some incense, and it is acceptable to ask them to bear the obligation to support these people under the condition that they are given tax exemptions.

At the same time, it was required that the emancipated slaves, until they found work and were able to support themselves, remained in the homes of their slave owners, who had a duty of guardianship and allowed them to work in the old way, but to ensure their livelihood. This was to ensure that after the sudden separation from the master and the old social relations, the slave became a vagrant, causing social unrest.
