Chapter 553: Immigration

The discovery of the New World has set off a boom in the Tang Dynasty, the eyes are black, the silver is white, Li Chengtai knows Li Chen's thoughts very well, and knows that Li Chen intends to colonize the New World, and deliberately publicizes so much gold that he spreads it out in the sun, so that the people of Chang'an are so well-informed that their eyes widen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the same day, the convoy swaggered through the city, even if it had entered the Daming Palace, many people were still wandering outside the Daming Palace, although they knew that it was impossible to come out, but they always wanted to take another look.

Then the banquet of Hanyuan Hall made many people understand that the New World is simply a treasure land, and the local natives are very backward, even if there are no weapons such as thunder and muskets, they can bully the local natives with iron knives and armor alone.

The New World is very rich, the natives don't know the value of gold and silver, the expedition team actually has nothing to rob, in line with Li Chen's instructions, the most they do is to explore, try to communicate with the local natives, the Tang Dynasty developed the New World, not as barbaric as the Europeans, purely to grab gold.

At that time, the Europeans were very poor, very poor, and they went to the New World completely for gold, for profit, even if they reclaimed, it was for profit, for the development of their own country.

There is nothing wrong with it for the sake of profit, but it will take hundreds of years for Europeans to figure out the value of the New World, and the initial time is to plunder, plunder. If a British prince in the 21st century travels to the beginning of the discovery of the New World, at that time, he went all out to develop the Americas, and the sun never sets on the empire, I am afraid it will last for thousands of years.

It's a pity that now Li Chen has come to Datang, and there will be no American eagle and British cattle in the future, the sun will never set on the empire, it will only be Datang.

The development of the New World by the Tang Dynasty is aimed at expanding the living space of the Han nation, and the development of the new territory with the power of the state must certainly have interests, and the development of the New World cannot be completed in a short period of time, and the imperial court cannot always subsidize it.

However, in order to speed up these processes, the first requirement is the weather, soil, mountains, hydrology, and many other matters of human race. The imperial court must be clear about these in order to have a target.

Therefore, there are many scholars sent by Datang, all of whom are specialized figures, who may not be well-known and have no works handed down, but they are all talents in Datang. And not Europe at that time, it was all some poor ghosts, criminals, greedy adventurers.

Therefore, they did not carry out any massacres and plundering in the New World, unless the real tribe did not open their eyes, and after giving a little lesson, they repeatedly provoked it, and in order to establish power, they directly slaughtered the village. This attitude also affected Datang's attitude towards developing the New World in the future.

As for some sailors, they were stopped by the commander and did not mess around. Besides, you don't have to mess around, you can also get a lot of benefits, although some people initially wanted to grab a big deal, but they suffered a little loss, and under the stop of the commander, they didn't take action.

Later, by trading, relying on rewards, you can also make a lot of money, trading, you are willing to me, I just want a little thing, you are willing to pay a lot of money for it, a broken bowl, but also with the same weight, or even twice the weight of real money and silver, I have no way not. We came from afar as guests, and the guests were as they pleased, and the host was willing to change like this, so we changed.

Later, they became much calmer, and sometimes, they showed a little superiority, they were all people with little knowledge, and they could rely on their IQ to crush the natives, which was really a pleasure. That's why they later suffered in the Philippines.

The only thing they can't control is the crotch, which also makes them a bunch of singles and have several wives, so even if they return to Datang to die, they still want to go again.

'Ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss how to develop the New World. The next day, Li Chen gathered dark circles under his eyes and stayed awake all night, prime ministers, taking advantage of this upsurge, there is no major event in the imperial court for the time being, to discuss the development of the new continent.

At the beginning, Li Chen said that he expounded his development proposition. The prime minister listens, then discusses, and after forming a resolution, he will improve it.

This resolution is very important, it must be consistent, it is not that it cannot be changed, but it must be cautious, this is a national policy, a millennium national policy, and the discussion should be cautious. In the future, if the regulations are to be amended, it is necessary to gather all the prime ministers for a comprehensive discussion and then revise them, and it is absolutely not allowed to change the decree overnight. Li Chen said solemnly to the prime ministers.

His idea is to develop as gently as possible. Although he was not a historian, he was a graduate of the Department of History, but he was very disgusted by the barbarism of the Spaniards in those days. At that time, the Spaniards, who were madmen, thoroughly executed the three lights.

Correction, to say that the Spaniards of those days were crazy is really insulting to a madman. They are more terrible than madmen, they are all poor and crazy religious fanatics. The madman can still be saved, and he needs to find a doctor, and these poor and crazy religious maniacs will...

He had decided that although the Mayan civilization was currently very limited, he wanted to preserve it as much as possible. Central America was the first place to be developed by Datang. Those towns abandoned by the Mayans will be directly occupied by the Tang, and you don't want them anyway.

As for the Mayans, they will gradually assimilate them, the population of the Tang Dynasty is now more than 70 million, but it is still too small to spread all over the Americas, this population, even North America is not enough to stuff, although the Mayans don't know how many, but the mosquito is also meat.

What's more, these Indians are wrong, and now they are named Mayans by Li Chen, and they are of the same race as the Han people, and the appearance gap is not as big as the Orientals and the Westerners.

Take the Central Continent as a base, and then develop to the north, first occupy North America, and the local race will not be called Indians, but will be called Mayans, the same assimilation. Whoever makes the Americas a great country that has no unity at all can only be represented by the relatively advanced Mayan civilization.

As for Li Chen's occasional slip of the tongue to say that the Indians are Indians, they were all ignored by the prime minister, what are Indians? There is a saying that there is no India in Datang now, and they all say Tianzhu.

Second, the Indians first had the issue of transliteration, and Columbus called the Native Americans Indians. Again, Columbus made a mistake at all, and later people will make mistakes, of course Li Chen would not make such a mistake.

The north side is developed, but what about the south side? The central part is the most important, controlling this place, and it can be reached in all directions from south to north to east to west.

To the west, Datang leads directly to the Middle Continent, and the Central Continent can also easily return to Datang. This is the safest way to get lost.

To the east, the Middle Continent is the most convenient, although not all of them have been explored, but it is already certain that Li Chen's one, which is said to be from the heavens, but even a celestial person has never seen or heard of the map, which is reliable.

Then as long as you control the coasts on both sides of the Central Continent, you can build a naval base at the other end. Li Chen was very greedy, he didn't want to give the New World to the Europeans at all. Don't say a piece of land, not even the islands.

'The Tang Dynasty wants to take possession of the New World, except for the local natives, whoever dares to come will destroy him. Li Chen said.

Europe to the New World, but much closer than the Tang Dynasty. It took half a year for Datang to set off and take the Kuroshio, and Columbus only walked for a month. Although they wouldn't think of it at the moment, and they couldn't afford to colonize the New World, Li Chen just didn't want to. Only by occupying the Middle Continent can we control the two oceans. Blockade of the east coast, non-Tang ships, all sunk.

It's going to be a lot of money. Several statues didn't speak, they looked at each other, and finally it was the honest man who was upside down, Wei Cong couldn't stand the staring, so he had to speak hard. Now in the Tang Dynasty, the navy is only preliminarily established, and Li Chen thought that it was so far away, and he wanted to use the navy to patrol the coast, all according to the New World.

'Hmm... Good question, it's good to dig a canal. Li Chen remembered that he was really stupid, he would have to go to the Panama Canal in the future, not in the Central Continent. This place must be controlled, as long as the canal is opened, he only needs one navy and two bases.

'Canal.... Hearing the canal, several statues rolled their eyes, is this canal so easy to repair, "Don't be in a hurry for this first, anyway, the people of heaven want to go to the New World, farther than us." Choi Hyun played a round game.

Li Chen didn't continue to discuss, this canal is indeed not in a hurry, but he is worried not about the Tianfang, but the Europeans, but now the Europeans are still very backward, so there is no need to worry about it.

What's more, the Panama Canal costs a lot of money. He couldn't remember what year it was dug up, but it wasn't going to be early. But in that era, it was also a lot of expenses, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively backward at present, and the power of the New World is not too big.

"Leave the Southern Continent alone for the time being. He was a little surprised that the Inca Empire had not yet appeared. Originally, I wanted to save this civilization that was barbarically destroyed by the Spaniards, but it seems that it is not necessary for the time being.

But put it on hold. Datang also has no strength to develop there. Moreover, contact with the Tang Dynasty may catalyze the emergence of the Inca Empire early.

Well, you ask whether the Inca Empire appears or not, what's the point? Li Chen can tell you frankly that he is purely rich and capricious.

Like the Mayan civilization, he felt that the destruction of these civilizations was a misfortune in the history of human culture, and he thought, if he could, he wanted to preserve them. That's all.

Then, Li Chen began to discuss how to immigrate, which is a very complicated task. What Li Chen means is to let the Immigration Department be fully responsible.

Datang set up an immigration department in the household department very early on for the sake of the van army and the problem of migrating the people. This time, in order to immigrate to the New World, two new enforcement units were established.

One is the Immigration Temple, which is responsible for immigration, and the most important work is to move people from the Tang Dynasty to the New World, and the other is the Naturalization Temple, which is responsible for the naturalization of those new immigrants, including language, customs, and life skills training.

The Naturalization Temple, because it has become more and more powerful in the Tang Dynasty, has attracted many nomads to take refuge, and the Immigration Department was responsible for it before. This time, the Department of Immigration was specially set up to be in charge of the Naturalization Temple. However, their main work was to target the Mayans.

The Department of Immigration was established for convenience. Because there must be a lot of problems involved, and no one has the experience of long-distance, large-scale, long-term migration. Although Datang has begun to immigrate at present, it is not so far away, and there is a land route, so you can deal with problems at any time.

But when you immigrate to the New World, this is a big problem, and there may be many problems that you can't imagine in advance, so you can only let the Immigration Department try the book first, and then take one step at a time.

It's just that no one wants to get it, because of the immigration work, Datang has lasted for hundreds of years, and this unit, the Immigration Department, was originally the hardest and most tiring work, but there were a lot of imperial prime ministers.

Because of this position, it is very challenging for a person, and there are too many aspects involved in immigration work. Calculate from scratch, when building a new city, to plan.

Planning all areas of the city and planning water supply, Li Chen has put clean water on the agenda, and the major cities in Datang must have clean water supply in order to avoid the occurrence of plague. In the history of China, there have been tragic plagues, the most tragic of which was probably the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Li Zicheng did not plan to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty at that time, where there were heavy guards and iron walls. Because it is the capital and the emperor, it is impossible to expect the officials to surrender on their own like other cities.

Li Zicheng couldn't fight a tough battle at all, they didn't have enough food and grass, and if they attacked the Ming capital, they would suffer a lot of damage, and they might not be able to fight.

As a result, a plague changed everything. The spread of the plague has made Yanjing a purgatory on earth, no wonder Cao Huachun wants to surrender, in that situation, Yanjing can't hold it at all. Li Chen didn't want to encounter that kind of situation.

The plague, that is an inevitable accident. It is said that at the end of the year, even the capital is dirty and messy. A declining image, coupled with the fact that too many soldiers and horses have been gathered in order to defend the Beijing Division, and the outbreak of plague is almost inevitable.

And Li Chen wants to get it, the industrialization of Datang is about to begin. Large cities will have more and more populations. Sanitation will be a major priority, and clean drinking water is a must. So, the construction of the tap water system will begin.

In fact, tap water is nothing more than to get the water to a high place, increase the water pressure, and let the faucet turn on and there will be water, which can be achieved by the Romans thousands of years ago, not to mention the Tang Dynasty. Even if it can't be supplied to households like future generations, it must be supplied to a certain area, at least so that people have clean water to drink.

It's far away, so a new city has to involve many aspects, and the officials of the immigrant temple are not generalists, in addition to knowing some of them, they also need to cooperate with other departments, which has become a very tempering job.

Therefore, the Datang Immigration Division has become a shortcut to the top of the empire. From the fact that people must be afraid of not getting drudgery, everyone has scrambled to get the fragrance film.

This is a later story, and it is decided how to develop, and there are still many things to deal with, such as those crops that are brought back, and after trial planting, they should be vigorously promoted. In addition, there is the problem of the Philippines.

'Those dead monkeys, so bold, don't give them a little color to see, I don't know how powerful Datang is. Li Chen said with a cold face.

Adversity... As for it, because there were too many surprises, the prime ministers were not surprised, and began to discuss in a serious way, how to send troops, that small island, which was called a small island in the Philippines by Li Chen.

It was quickly discussed how to fight, but at this time, an incident broke out, so that the whole thing was put on hold for the time being.
