714. Chapter 714 - Human Trafficking
c_t; After all, Roger has hundreds of years of knowledge, and his knowledge is much higher than that of people of this era, and he knows the problem when he hears the company commander say this. [There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]
Due to the combined influence of geographical environment and natural conditions, the indigenous ethnic groups in Southeast Asia have always tended to have a lazy lifestyle, which will not change much even after a few hundred years. Even if these people are introduced to the areas under the rule of Haihan, it is difficult for them to quickly integrate into the local social system due to differences in living habits and values. In the past, most of the sources of immigrants chosen by the Haihan were agricultural peoples in the mainland, and they were not too interested in the indigenous people of the islands, and even if they were introduced, most of them were thrown to mines, forestry farms, salt farms, road construction sites and other places with low technical content to engage in pure labor.
In contrast, the situation of black Africans is better, if not to mention that the race is stronger than that of the island natives of Southeast Asia, and they have more advantages in physical labor. Whether it is used as a pure labor force or conscripted into the army to fight in the army, black Africans can be regarded as a good choice. In the 1622 war between Portugal and the Netherlands for Macao, blacks from Africa were the main force of the Portuguese army in Macao. In the original history, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and his son all had an elite foreign gun unit composed of blacks. In Zheng Chenggong's campaign to recover Taiwan, these black soldiers also rebelled against their compatriots in the Dutch army and joined Zheng Chenggong's troops.
Of course, the traversers from 400 years later will not be so superstitious about the combat effectiveness of black people, after all, in the world before they crossed over, the combat effectiveness of African black uncles can only be regarded as the lowest level in the world, and only a few countries that have received **** military assistance for a long time are still slightly decent. Moreover, in consideration of racial differences, both the Executive Committee and the Military Commission have always been more cautious about overseas ethnic groups from other continents entering the Haihan People's League to serve. Countries like Annam, Japan, and North Korea are all fine, at least the body shape and appearance are similar, the language and writing are still more than half the same, and various folk customs can be regarded as the same lineage, but the racial differences in other continents are too great, and the travelers are not too easy to accept from a personal emotional point of view.
I think that when the bearded Johnson and Morgan Sr. applied to join the crossing operation, there was also a heated discussion in the preparatory committee because of their European and American ethnicity, and many people questioned the necessity of introducing two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners to participate in the crossing operation. If it weren't for the lack of professional medical staff in the crossing team, perhaps they would have been directly brushed off at the registration stage. Of course, they still convinced all the doubters in their performance after the crossing, and not only made great contributions in the field of medical and health care, but also performed meritorious service in previous military operations, and were commended by the Executive Committee many times.

However, after them, there are no other European and American whites naturalized under Haihan's rule. After all, talents with special expertise are too scarce, and the Europeans who voluntarily go to the Far East, except for the merchants who keep an eye on the treasures of the East, are mostly poor civilians or criminals who cannot get along in their home countries, and these people obviously do not become the targets of interest of the Haihan. When Europeans came to colonize the Far East, it was unlikely that they would choose an oriental country with a very different culture for naturalization, let alone the Haihan, which had an extremely strict household registration system.
Similar to these Southeast Asian natives and blacks who were sold to Ambuna Island as slaves, there is still the possibility of naturalization, but the naturalization inspection period they have to spend is much longer than that of the Han Chinese, and the conditions are more stringent in all aspects.
Li Dagui responded: "Then the next time there are Kunlun slaves from the South China Sea, the price will be lowered." ”
Roger nodded and said, "Not only to reduce the price, but also to stipulate the proportion." Slaves from the South China Sea region cannot exceed one-third, this is the bottom line, and if we exceed this percentage, we will directly refuse to accept it! This money is paid by ourselves, and we can't buy some lazy bones and raise them!"
Li Dagui hurriedly nodded yes, and secretly wrote down Roger's instructions in his heart.
The plantations on the Ambuna Islands are not entirely invested and developed by Haihan itself, and a considerable part of them belong to investors from Daming, Annam and other places. These people invest in the development and construction of plantations on the island, grow cash crops according to Haihan's construction, and enjoy a share of the income for the next few years. It stands to reason that a business such as a plantation, which takes several years to pay for itself, is not low-risk, but because of the numerous successful cases of Haihan in the management of agricultural products and cash crops in the past few years, investors who have tasted the sweetness still boldly choose to follow the pace of Haihan.
Shortly after the acquisition of the islands last year, the Ministry of Commerce had already raised more than 100,000 taels of silver for the comprehensive development of the islands, which was enough to create thousands of acres of plantations on the island. However, because the location of Ambuna Island is too far away, it is difficult for investors to organize a large number of immigrants to work on development and construction, so Haihan provides another additional service, that is, to contribute labor to the construction for investors, and the bosses only need to reimburse the costs. This is undoubtedly an excellent solution for investors who do not want to delay time, anyway, it takes a lot of money to organize immigration from the mainland to settle in the local area, it is better to hire cheap labor directly from the Haihan people, and there will be no worries.
So in fact, if you calculate this account, it is actually the investors who pay for the purchase of these laborers, but the ownership is in the hands of Haihan, and a considerable part of the value of the zào created belongs to Haihan. The quality of Kunlun Nu is low, and Haihan's profits will also be affected by this, so Roger will emphasize this point in particular.
The slaves first cut down the trees, cut off the stumps, then cleared the surrounding bushes, and finally transplanted the rubber tree saplings brought from Hainan Island into the pits at the prescribed intervals. The trees were dismembered and transported out of the mountains to be used as building materials for the construction of slave camps.
Although these people were sold as slaves, they were not specially guarded except for the armed guards on the periphery of the plantation, and they were not shackled or handcuffed. On the first day after they landed, they were informed of the state of the environment in which they were located. In this place, there is no future at all to escape, and even if you run out, you can only go around this island, and it is impossible to find food and a way to leave this island, because the only port is under the control of Haihan.
Although these people were called slaves, they were much better treated in terms of food and accommodation than in the hard labor camps where they were served as convicts. Of course, the reason for this is that last year's Shiroku riots were affected, and the relevant departments did not want to squeeze these laborers so hard that they would provoke their rebellion.
Although Roger also had the intention of following Qian Tiandun's original practice in Annan, he recruited a group of natives to train his own pro-army, and reported to the Military Commission on the way back from Fujian. However, the Military Commission did not agree to adopt the original operation method of the Annan militia on Ambuna Island, because considering the complexity of the people on the island, it would inevitably cause many problems if a special local security force was formed. This basically eliminated the possibility of slaves enlisting in the army to obtain Haihan nationality, and they could only survive a long period of inspection before they could have the opportunity to use their labor points to compete for the limited number of naturalization places.
The following will be re-edited later
