After the liberation of Peruvian coolies, most of them chose to return to China, but some of them were willing to stay, these people often had these characteristics, they had no relatives in the country, or they could not return to their hometowns for crimes in their hometowns, and at the same time they all married local women, basically Indians.

The Daming Labor Export Company, after solving the problem of digging bird droppings, thought that digging bird droppings would cause too much damage to people's bodies, and most people would suffer from lung disease, so they rejected the Peruvians' recruitment requests, and instead bought wasteland in Peru and cultivated farmland.

The Daming Labor Company has also spent millions of dollars to buy land and millions to recruit workers in Peru to open up millions of acres of farmland, and it is a rice field that can produce and export Daming rice. The total number of recruited workers, plus the Chinese who had stayed in Peru, is basically 100,000.

In addition, in Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia and other countries have also begun to explore, but in Argentina has not made much progress, most of the land in Argentina is pasture, which has long been divided up, and there is not so much wasteland for people to develop.

After nearly ten years of hard work, the Ming Foreign Affairs Division has basically eliminated the coolie trade, and also liberated the vast majority of coolies, only those unknown coolies, have not yet been liberated. At the same time, considerable achievements have been made in converting coolies into immigrants, as well as in promoting new immigrants.

North America is the most difficult, and the development of South America is not easy, so the biggest progress is in the Nanyang region, thanks to hundreds of years of immigration, a complete Chinese community has been formed in Nanyang, they keep in touch with their domestic clansmen, through this contact, there is no need for labor companies to promote, there is a steady stream of immigrants into Nanyang.

Due to this traditional Chinese social relationship, the management of the Daming Labor Service Company in Nanyang is relatively relaxed, and the local Chinese only need to file with the consulate, and no one interferes with their work, as long as it does not violate the law, the Nanyang Chinese do not need to fully accept the management of the labor company.

Because of this relaxation, the British and Dutch colonists in Nanyang continued to recruit a large number of Chinese laborers, but they were all enthroned at the local consulate of the Ming Dynasty according to the requirements, to prove that these Chinese laborers were not coolies, nor would they engage in dangerous work such as mining, which was prohibited, but only employed in building roads and bridges and agricultural operations that they were most familiar with.

In recent years, with the planting of mulberry and silkworms in a large number of lands in the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of rice from Vietnam has been exported to the Ming Dynasty, and even rice plantations have begun to be established in Nanyang, which are in great need of young Chinese laborers. In order to replace the output of millions of acres of arable land that had been turned into mulberry orchards, not only the French, the Dutch and the British opened up millions of acres of rice fields in the Mekong Delta, but also millions of acres of new rice fields in Malaya and the Dutch and Indian colonies, most of them employing Chinese. With these new agricultural laborers alone, plus transportation and road construction labor, there have been millions of Chinese laborers in Nanyang in the past ten years.

The number of immigrants is not large on the whole, and the industrial age will inevitably produce a large amount of surplus labor, or surplus labor, which is also one of the necessary factors of the industrial age, because the industrial age can only be started when a country begins to have a rich labor force.

A large number of surplus labor will produce a large number of social problems, so countries that cannot solve this problem often break out in social turmoil, the Ming Dynasty has only immigrated more than one million people in the past ten years, compared with Western countries, it is really insignificant, even small Sweden, only four or five million people base, since the 1850s, millions of people have immigrated to the United States.

The biggest problem restricting Ming immigrants is mainly cultural issues, and the Chinese are the most reluctant people in the world to immigrate, which is hardly controversial.

Therefore, immigration is only the last resort of the Ming government to solve the surplus labor, the vast majority of the labor force has to be digested internally, the industrialization that began in the country absorbed most of it, and then the development of agricultural land, mainly the development of new tea plantations, absorbed the largest part of the labor force.

In the past ten years, due to the stability of the Ming regime, the population has grown rapidly, Guangdong has reached 30 million people, Guangxi's population has recovered from 5 million to 8 million before, Fujian's population has stabilized at about 20 million, Jiangxi's population has also recovered from 10 million to 15 million, Guangxi and Jiangxi's population growth, part of the fugitive population returns, the largest is the migration of agricultural population, the two places have opened up millions of tea plantations, but this part of the labor force needs four or five million, counting their families, It accounts for the vast majority of population growth.

So far, the total population of the four provinces of the Ming Dynasty has reached about 80 million, which is regarded as a populous country in the world, second only to Russia in the west, second only to India in the east and the Manchu Qing in the north, and ranks fourth in the world.

After Wu Chongyao reported on these issues, he was relieved to deal with the Taiwan issue.

After they showed strong combat effectiveness, the local eighteen aborigines soon formed an alliance with the Japanese samurai, and jointly exterminated the murderous Peony Society, divided the land, livestock, and women of the Peony Society, and killed all the men of the Peony Society.

However, these feudal societies formed an alliance with the Japanese, mainly to divide the goods of the Peony Society, and then the two groups of robbers had a conflict, and the Japanese could not transport supplies from the Japanese mainland, and they did not think of not only supporting here, but also raising what could be raised locally, mainly food.

Soon they offered to pay tribute to the feudal societies that submitted to them, and these feudal societies looked at it, why did they still need to pay tribute if they surrendered? Isn't surrender rewarded? That's not what the Han people on the other side of the bullpen line do, as long as they show their respect, the Han government will reward them with cattle, sheep and wine. Why did the Japanese come and let them take out the gifts?

The natives, who had already been spoiled by the Han people, of course refused to pay tribute to the Japanese, but even if the Japanese samurai could starve again, they could not eat grass to live, so the Japanese samurai went directly to the feudal community to rob money, food, and women, and took out all the skills of their ancestors.

The conflict between the feudal clan and the Japanese samurai broke out all at once.

These feudal societies were called shengban by the Qing government, and unlike those who had settled down and belonged to the Qing government, although they also learned to grow rice, they were mostly slash-and-burn farming, very primitive, and mainly lived by hunting, so everyone was good at using knives and even earthen guns.

They were also familiar with the mountains and forests, and as a result, they ambushed the Japanese everywhere, and the Japanese had another outbreak of epidemic at this time, and there were more than 3,000 samurai, less than half of whom could maintain their combat effectiveness. The Japanese landed on the island of Taiwan in May, but they couldn't stand it themselves in August, and they actively negotiated with Daming, hoping that Daming would lift the blockade. I didn't mention the indemnity anymore, I heard that the Manchu Qing privately promised to give them a large amount of indemnity.

But at this time, Da Ming instead proposed that because of Japan's invasion of Taiwan and the killing of thousands, even if it was an indigenous, Da Ming could not tolerate this barbaric behavior. The Japanese massacre in Taiwan was spread all over the world. At the same time, it should be stated that due to Japan's invasion of Taiwan, the Ming Dynasty blocked the strait, which caused huge losses to the Ming Dynasty's commerce.

Of course, there are losses to be compensated, and to the stunned Japanese is that the Ming Dynasty actually demanded compensation from them.

The Japanese authorities really can't understand why the performance of the Ming Dynasty is so different from that of the Manchus, and is this still a nation that has been cultivated by Confucian etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame for thousands of years? How does it look like a robber.

What is even more incomprehensible to the Japanese is that they have not seen the relevant public opinion in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, and in the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty, those literati and writers even most of them sympathize with the Japanese, thinking that the Japanese are very happy to kill people.

Obviously, in the face of Shengban and Japan, the literati are more inclined to Japan.

This is related to the work done by the Japanese, such as spending their own money on public relations and influencing public opinion in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, it is also related to the impression given by Japan and Shengban, who not only killed foreigners, killed Ryukyuan people, but in fact, the most killed were Han Chinese, so no one had a good impression of them.

The Japanese made a small fortune from the Qing court, and carefully asked the Ming how much compensation they wanted, if it was less, they would have shared the wealth with the Ming, but the Ming was very angry, asking for three million taels of silver, and they could also come up with data to prove how much the Ming trade had fallen in the past year, in fact, the decline in trade during the economic crisis was pushed to the Japanese.

The Japanese refused to pay this money even if they were killed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty only gave 500,000 taels, and the Ming Dynasty asked for 3 million. They have always been accustomed to trading without capital, and they always want to be small and big, and dare to show their teeth with anyone.

And for them, the blockade of the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than the sealing of thousands of Japanese samurai, after the Meiji Restoration, there was a lack of everything, that is, samurai who did not lack karma, and these people died, just to reduce the burden on the country. When it comes to disregard for human life, the Japanese are second in the world, and no one dares to be number one. The Chinese government after the Republic of China has learned this essence, and its consideration of human nature is not even as good as that of scholars in the feudal dynasty. There were some officials who, for the sake of industrialization, could starve to death, but the Manchu civil officials preferred to tear down the factories and save the livelihood of the workshop workers. Although the performance of traditional literati doctors seems ridiculous in the face of the general trend, isn't their feelings worth understanding?

When they held out until the end of the year, the Japanese finally couldn't hold on, not because they cared about the lives of those thousands of samurai, but because they couldn't hold it on economically. For this invasion of Taiwan, they have already paid 8 million yen, and the yen at this time is extremely unstable, and the current exchange rate is only equivalent to 2 million taels of silver against silver.

Seeing that they could not get anything good after a long delay, the Japanese expressed their willingness to pay reparations.

The unsolved case in Taiwan seemed to be resolved smoothly, and the ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty only toured the Taiwan Strait and did not go to Japan, but the reaction of the Japanese after this incident almost caused a war between the Ming and Japan, because they stepped up the annexation of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

This is a later story, the Taiwan issue is not over yet, for the Ming Dynasty, it is only halfway through, forcing Japan to retreat is only the first step, and then forcing the Manchu Qing to deliver Taiwan peacefully to the Ming Dynasty is the ultimate goal.
