Chapter 227 Aboriginal Act (II)

Aboriginal Act (Part II)

This is an era of agitation, and it is also a criminal method that is direct, rude, and simple. In the classical era, a small island country like Japan expelled tribes other than the Yamato Kingdom and marched to the northeast, slaughtering and dominating the Ainu people, so the four ancient civilizations with a long history expanded even more unabashedly.

As early as 3,000 years ago in the Axial Age, the four ancient civilizations and the Greek civilization established a huge and diverse colonial system, but because Greece is located in the Mediterranean, most of the independent colonial city-states are overseas territories, which belong to a more intuitive and classic type. China's colonial system was stronger, and the Duke of Zhou devised a system of great integration to consolidate his rule in the newly conquered regions. The core of the feudal system lies in the strong cadres and weak branches, and the blood system left over from the primitive tribes builds a cohesive empire.

The clansmen of the Zhou royal family occupied the most fertile land in the alluvial fan of the Yellow River and the Central Plains, and the feudal domains were divided from generation to generation, resulting in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when the territory directly under the royal family was so small that it was almost as small as the fief of a doctor in the Qin state. This is what Zhou Gong did not expect, and it was also what the Chinese emperors who implemented the feudal system in previous dynasties did not expect, the main line of strong trunks and weak branches is right, but if there are too many branches, it will become a shrub if it is not pruned. "Zhou Li. XIA Guan. "It is the state of the nine suits: Fang Qianli is called Wangji, its foreign 500 li is called Hou Fu, and its foreign 500 li is called Dianfu, and its foreign 500 li is called Men's Clothing, and its foreign 500 li is called Caifu, and its foreign 500 li is called Weifu, and its foreign 500 li is called Barbarian Service, and its foreign 500 li is called Yifu, and its foreign 500 li is called Zhenfu, and its foreign 500 li is called Vassal Service. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms. WEI Zhi. He Kui's Biography": "The first king distinguished the nine costumes with the proximity of the distance, and the punishment of the three codes was made to calm the chaos. According to the essence of the feudal system, the close relatives and princes close to the royal family enjoyed the civilized life and greater feudal obligations and rights brought about by the fertile soil and advanced productive forces, while the distant vassal states were more backward and poor, and the feudal obligations and rights were naturally few. In order to make up for the great merit of the founding fathers, the land allocated by the Duke of Zhou is quite generous, taking Jiang Shang, the first prince of Qi as an example, as a prince, he can not be lightly rewarded, but as a prince with a foreign surname, he can not give too much power so as not to make mistakes by his descendants, so he divided the land in Shandong for his son to take office, when it was a few generations, the vassal states of the border wasteland with the diffusion of technology and population accumulation in the Central Plains, with strong strength, the Zhou royal family sat on wax.

There are many examples of colonial turnarounds, but they have rarely occurred since the capitalist era when wealth was the only measure of individual and organizational strength. With the exception of one country that surpasses the overlord, there are very few colonies or semi-colonies that surpass the overlord in terms of overall strength.

The power of capital is not comparable to the power of the source of power in the old era with blood, marriage and military feudalism as the cornerstone. Therefore, in terms of their attitude towards the aborigines of backward areas and the means of dealing with them, the methods of capitalists are completely different from those of slave owners and feudal owners. Slave owners and feudal lords looked at the aborigines from the perspective of the landowners and landlord class, and most of them believed that the aborigines were barbarians who were disobedient to the king's culture and enemies who hindered their access to more land and wealth, while the capitalists, especially the commercial capitalists, mostly believed that the backward aborigines were good trade objects, pioneers, thugs, and the best commodities and investment objects.

In the later period of the Age of Discovery, after the global map was basically completed, the aboriginal tribes or slave countries that had not yet entered feudalism around the world were originally peaceful and peaceful, and their life of indisputability, primitive backwardness, poverty and ignorance was broken, and they were swept into the tide of globalization without the ability to resist, and completely reduced to pawns, vassals, servants and playthings in the resource and market game of advanced countries.

Countless indigenous people were slaughtered, plundered, enslaved, and sold like cattle to various areas in need of cheap labor, such as black slaves and Chinese piglets of various ethnic groups in various regions of Africa. This is determined by the instinct of capital for profit, and also by the characteristics of the enslaved peoples themselves. Why are there no Indian laborers who are sold all over the world on a large scale, because they were almost wiped out by the germs that plagued the Old World for many years, such as smallpox, cholera, plague, and typhoid fever, before they entered the colonial era of the slave trade**. Those Eskimos or Inuit who live in high latitudes have a cold environment to resist infectious diseases, but the number is too small, and they can only exist as scientific research materials based on the survival ability of high latitudes, and there is really no oil and water to squeeze and be let go.

Many Gemies, who were too small to work in agriculture and mining, were also ignored by the slave traders. Many of the indigenous people who have lived in tropical areas ravaged by sleeping sickness and malaria for thousands of years have not died in their beds or at home, but in the harsh working conditions of slave estates, plantations, mines and workshops. Dead in the lands of the pagans in a foreign land, their existence disappeared with a mere stroke in the catalogue of the property of the sinful capitalists and large landowners.

The rules of crossing the hope are not the disorder and chaos caused by this kind of naked profiteering, which will eventually be transmitted to oneself, not only the loss of reputation, but also the possibility of efficiency underground and waste of human resources. The mentality and system of dealing with the aborigines must meet the needs of capitalism to expand the market and develop, and in the process of dealing with the aborigines, the input-output ratio must be higher than the general rate of profit of the society. The high requirement of both fame and fortune is simply to realize the influence of tributary trade and the windfall profits of colonial trade at the same time, without the situation of losing money and making money or the bloody primitive accumulation of capital, which is not ordinarily difficult.

The Law Committee was almost made by this instruction that everyone wanted to hit the wall, and in the end, **oss came forward to draw a line, distinguishing the aborigines according to the standard of having a written word and the state, and the aborigines who did not enter the civilized society were treated as indigenous. No diplomatic treatment will be given, and they will be expelled as stateless persons, and all exchanges and trade outside the country will only be supported and protected in accordance with the principle of voluntariness and fairness. The aborigines who entered the slave countries were regarded as quasi-diplomatic countries, and their nationals in China enjoyed the treatment of foreign business travelers without diplomatic relations.

The permanent inhabitants of the indigenous tribes of the newly annexed territories that have been incorporated into the territory of the empire automatically acquire the status of imperial freedmen, and are treated in the same way as minors in the territory (freedmen have basically the same rights and duties as minors). Although most of the magnates of Japan, South Korea, Liaojin, and Gao have obtained the status of imperial citizens, and some high-level and even middle-level representatives of the pro-China faction have also obtained the title of the empire, the people at the lower levels are forced to be forced to queue up to get the status of free citizens of the empire, let alone want to get a citizenship that can be an official. The attitude towards the nationals of the allies is at most that of the free people, so the attitude towards the natives is naturally generally regarded as a lower class of third-class people, that is, the natives of the territory who cannot read and write, and they are called civilized people.

Even foreign nobles had to be three points shorter when they entered the empire, and the corresponding titles and treatments were basically equal to half of those of their own country. There were very few foreign dignitaries who could make Emperor Li Hao come forward in person, except for a few anti-heaven scholars and heads of allied countries, that is, those outstanding talents in various fields of the pro-China faction, waiting to be summoned. Anyway, the chieftain of the tribal alliance at the indigenous level will definitely not be able to see the emperor's dragon face.

In any case, natives who do not know Chinese and cannot write Chinese characters will definitely not be given citizenship treatment, and if the residents of the empire want to obtain citizenship, they must pass the citizenship assessment on the basis of free people, and meet the requirements of the imperial citizenship law in many fields such as the amount of tax, the level of education, the length of residence, the nature of work, and the performance of social life. These elements were known as early as the founding of the country, but they became widely known when the people decided to annex the five northern kingdoms. There is no supply without demand, and when millions of inhabitants of the newly opened territories aspired to enter the empire and become citizens, newspapers and other media began to publicize the law enacted ten years ago and the newly promulgated "Native Peoples Act"

There are various provisions and contents in the civil law system that define national identity, rights and obligations, among which the most influential ones are the Imperial Immigration Law and the Native Peoples Act for those outside the Empire. The latter is more applicable to the latter in these two acts. According to the estimation of the traversal people, at this time, the number of human beings in the world who did not belong to the main ethnic group of civilized (feudalized) countries and entered the Stone Age civilization was at least 100 million, of which one-third was in the Americas, one-third in the African continent, one-third in the marginal regions of Asia (Hokkaido, the eastern part of the Sunda Islands, the Tunguska region, and countless undeveloped civilizations of the hard-pressed peoples who survived on the primeval forests, plateaus, tundra, snowfields, and ice fields) The core of this law is to deal with the future. The inhabitants of the empire (whether nobles or citizens, freemen or civilized) dealt with the natives who had not passed the national examination (mastering the common knowledge of survival in the empire, such as traffic rules and the purchasing power of money, etc., almost the same as the elementary school entrance examination) at home and abroad.

The Act was enacted, and the four estates of the empire and the world were established, with the nobility of the empire and the high-ranking nobility of other civilized nations at the top of the pyramid, the citizens or middle class of the empire and other civilized nations in the middle (kulaks, workshop-owners, military officers, and wealthy merchants in other countries), and the vast number of illiterate peasants and freedmen (including underage quasi-citizens) at the bottom. As for the uncivilized indigenous people, they can only play a marginal role, becoming the victims of what the law calls protection, but in fact they are imprisoned.

The Act clearly stipulates that if an inhabitant of the empire establishes a permanent colonial base in an area over which no sovereign state claims jurisdiction outside the borders, the area automatically becomes a tripolar territory, and the indigenous people living in the area automatically become the lowest fourth-class nationals of the empire, and their rights to property, life, health, and freedom of movement enjoy the protection of the empire, and its guarantee comes from the civilian legal person who established the base and the nearest imperial garrison. The person in charge of the establishment of the base is responsible for managing the use and distribution arrangements.

In other words, without spending a penny, the empire could make countless civil society groups that had pioneered overseas to expand their territory. After these teams obtained the Empire's Tripolar Territorial Jurisdiction Certificate, they could legitimately recruit troops in the stronghold, establish order, and transplant the Empire's institutional rules to assimilate the land.

Funds raised through the issuance of construction bonds and shares similar to those of the East India Company will also be regulated by the Imperial Government and independent accounting firms, and all aborigines who have worked in the Tripolar Territory for one year will be eligible for the Enlightened Citizen Examination after issuing a work certificate, and their employers will also receive commendations and awards from the Imperial Government after passing the Indigenous Examinations to become Enlightened Citizens.

Due to restrictions on the wages and benefits of the work of the civilized, the aborigines hired in the newly built colonies, which often require a large amount of labor, are paid more than the civilized. The indiscriminate aborigines have little interest in joining the ranks of the Enlightened people in the exam, and they only feel that it is more advantageous to stay in the fourth class of aborigines, and they permanently miss the opportunity to improve.

Because the three-pole land was upgraded to the second-class land (according to the land management law, the first-class land is limited to the territory inherited from the former Song Dynasty at the time of the founding of the country, and the second-level land is the land that has been incorporated into the empire for 5 years, the urbanization rate is more than 10, the literacy rate is more than 20, and the per capita annual income is more than 2,400 yuan, and most of the overseas governor's territories and territories are second-class land, The three poles are areas that have been newly occupied for less than 5 years or more but do not meet other indicators) The examination discount for adult aborigines in the aboriginal bill is limited to the tripolar territory, and after being promoted to the second level of land, the preferential treatment will become civilized people. The newly added overseas land will also be nationalized after it is included in the Three Poles, and then the public land will be set aside for future planning and construction for public auction privatization, and each indigenous tribe that settles in the newly designated Three Poles will receive half of the proceeds from the auction.

This crucial appropriation of the legal high ground was a huge sum for the natives, and almost all of it was converted into salt, tobacco, sugar, wine, and iron products and was divided among the tribes. According to later generations, the aborigines were defrauded by the idea that the glass beads worth a few dollars in exchange for tens of thousands of acres of land were systematically eliminated, and the land occupied by private development groups in the land of the Three Poles was only in the name of leased land, which belonged to the land leased by the aborigines, but after the auction, it became privately owned or state-owned, after all, the new owner paid the aborigines. The representatives of the indigenous peoples at the auction were also selected at random and there was no fraud. The price is determined entirely by the strength and enthusiasm of the bidders, and those strongholds that could develop into important ports and industrialized cities in the future are sure to fetch high prices, as representatives of the crossers bid for industrial and commercial land on the spot. In those agricultural cities, there are only a handful of plantation owners or large landowners bidding, which is naturally different from those in those areas that will increase in value thousands of times in the future. The aboriginal tribes who received huge sums of money had no other way but to deposit the money in the banks opened by the empire, and generally in exchange for enough materials for the tribe to survive for several years, the remaining 90% of the land sale money could only be the original sin of provoking the aborigines outside the tripolar territory. Even if it were a brotherly alliance, it would be impossible for the indigenous tribes not to come and rob these lucky brother tribes.

For a time, the pressure of overseas colonial movements was greatly reduced, and the orders for special goods such as cold weapons and bows and crossbows for export increased significantly. Those who are aware of the high-level methods of the empire (the head of the contracting team is usually holding the title of governor of an overseas territory or the title of mayor or city council speaker of such and such an overseas territory) cannot but admire the height of the decision-making level.

The money was actually just in the hands of the natives and back into the hands of the merchants of the empire, which received not only land and loyalty, but also huge overseas purchasing power and capital export gains. The core purpose of the Indigenous Peoples Act was basically achieved, and the Crossing of Fame and Fortune was once again a great success. (To be continued.)
