The bustling port of San Francisco was crowded with ships of the expeditionary fleet returning from Japan, and on the wooden gangways, a group of dwarfed Japanese with numb and frightened eyes, one by one, were assigned to the gathering points under the supervision of Han soldiers with bayonets and flintlock pistols!

Every time these Japanese young men who disembarked from the ship reached 100 people, they would be simply grouped together and handed over to the person in charge of minerals who had been waiting for a long time!

The Indian mercenaries who are responsible for the security of the mining area will take over the Han soldiers and escort these Japanese young men who are like goods to where they need to go!

In the Han Empire, all the rights and interests of the mining area belong to the central government of the empire, and it is also one of the key supervision objects of the imperial Jinyiwei!

On the high platform of the port, there are a small number of people, extra eye-catching, luxurious clothes, and elite guards, all of which reflect the noble identity of the above characters!

The former head of the American Self-Defense Forces, and now the director of the Imperial Slaves and Miners, Cooper, after years of pampering, has a bulge in his belly, and the fat all over his body is not only reducing Coopa's appearance, but also showing the nobility of his position!

In the Han Empire, the low-level civilians were still struggling to survive the food and clothing line, and most of them had to perform high-intensity manual labor, so there was a standard among the people of the Han Empire that it was easy to distinguish between the powerful and the commoners, look at the stomach!

Because there can never be a fat man among the common people!

Even if a merchant who has made a lot of money will have to run around all day to do business because of the heavy imperial business taxes, no one dares to guarantee how many assets will be enough to enjoy his old age under the rule of Zhao Dutian, the god-like greedy dictator of the Han Empire......

Kupa, the first Indian high-ranking official to take refuge in Zhao Dutian, witnessed the miracle of the rise of the Han Empire step by step, and his loyalty to Zhao Dutian was completely dead!

With the gradual regularization and mass ization of Indian soldiers, and the complete separation from the security forces, Coopa, the commander of the American Self-Defense Forces, was naturally transferred to the post with the banning of the Self-Defense Forces!

Zhao Dutian did not treat this Kupa who had no merit but worked hard, and transferred him to the position of a number one leader, managing those who became official slaves of the Han Empire for various reasons, or miners!

"Your Excellency, this should be the last batch of Japanese youths to be shipped, so you can hand over the family registration documents of these Japanese to me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Coopa said with a smile on his face to Minister of the Interior, Zhao Chenxian, who was beside him.

"Director Kupa, don't worry, this matter has been personally explained by His Majesty the Emperor, and it has already been arranged.

I'm here in person this time to tell you something. ”

When Coopa heard this, he suddenly became sleek and flattering, and said shortly, "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

"Koopa, you should have already discovered that these Japanese young men are all men and not women."

Zhao Chenxian looked at Koopa meaningfully.

Coopa was cold, as if he had thought of something terrible, plus the first Japanese Civil War prisoners of war to arrive, the Japanese labor force in his hands was almost 200,000 people......

This...... I heard that His Majesty has an inexplicable hostility towards the Japanese, and it seems that the rumors are true!

"Director Kupa, mining is a dangerous thing, and the empire needs a large amount of minerals as industrial raw materials every year, so during this time, let these Japanese laborers contribute to the cause of the empire as much as possible, as for the trivial matters of marrying a wife and having children, it is not too late to wait for the empire to win."

As soon as Zhao Chenxian said this, the doubts in Kupa's heart suddenly became confirmed, and he raised his head slightly and asked, "Is this what Your Majesty meant?" ”

Zhao Chenxian glared at Kupa fiercely: "How could the Great Emperor care about such a trivial matter? Oh, by the way, although the empire promised these Japanese laborers a 10-year term, but Japan is thousands of miles away, and the cost of transporting them back is a lot, Director Kupa, do you understand? ”

Kupa trembled, and immediately replied with a firm expression: "Minister, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to reduce unnecessary expenses for the empire!" ”

"Well, Jinyiwei has allocated special personnel to enter various mining areas to prevent riots among these politically unreliable Japanese laborers, and after the ten-year period, Director Kupa does not have to worry about the shortage of labor in the mining area, and when the time comes, there will be new people to replace those Japanese, so you can let go and improve work efficiency!"

Coopa naturally understands what it means to let go and improve work efficiency, mining in this era basically relies entirely on manpower, as long as the mine supervisor oppresses a little, it is too normal for the miners to be tired and beaten to death, of course, these things are not visible, and what Zhao Chenxian said just now is also very clear, if something really happens, all the black cauldron will be deducted from Coopa's head!

And those additional brocade guards can also be regarded as a means of supervision!

Of course, as long as Coopa doesn't have crooked thoughts, these brocade guards are actually his help, after all, no matter how cowardly the crowd is, under the oppression of life, it is very likely to cause a riot, how to make these Japanese obediently work, and make them unable to reproduce offspring, all of them die in the pit, this is Coopa's task in the future!

This kind of thing will never be recorded in any information and literature, just like in Zhao Dutian's previous life, during the large-scale construction of railways in the United States, the bones of a Chinese laborer were buried under every sleeper, and the US government would never admit it!

The injection of a large number of Japanese cheap labor made the expansion of the American Home Guard very smooth, and the training battalion that was once set up played a key role in this expansion!

The framework has long been erected, the officers have been trained, and the soldiers can be stuffed into it to form an army!

The 100,000 native guards of the Americas and the corresponding civilian logistics team have also been recruited, if it weren't for the fact that the chosen place of North America would have a surplus in agricultural output every year, Zhao Dutian really couldn't take out so much food to support such a huge army!

The ratio of military personnel in the Han Empire has reached the level of 10 to 1!

This has seriously affected the development of social production in the early years when the productive forces were stuck in the early years of the first industrial revolution!

It's just that Zhao Dutian had to do this, because at the beginning of February of the 22nd year of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Dutian got the news from the British envoy that Frederick of Prussia tried to use a preemptive strike to defeat the enemies who had formed an alliance against him one by one, and took the lead in sending troops to Saxony!

By the time news of the outbreak of war reached the North American continent, Frederick had already captured Saxony and declared it a conquered nation! (To be continued.) )
