Chapter 1702: A New Look at Star Island
Since Haihan entered the Sing Tao area at the end of 1633, the construction of the colonial port here has entered its fourth year. However, due to the fact that it is too far away from Hainan Island and Daming, it is not easy to recruit Han immigrants from the north who are willing to move here, and the local Han population is only three or four thousand in a few years. Moreover, Sing Tao is strategically located at the eastern end of the Strait of Malacca, which connects the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, so at least half of the local infrastructure projects in Sing Tao are military-related, and its engineering standards are much higher than those of civilian facilities, so the amount of work has increased a lot.
This means that the amount of work that ordinary people who immigrate to Sing Tao has to do for the government every year is much greater than that of ordinary Haihan colonies, and there are naturally fewer people who are willing to take the initiative to move to Sing Tao without getting more benefits. In 1635, after Tan Ju was appointed as the chief civil affairs officer of Xingdao in the south, he also tried to increase the area of cultivated land allocated to immigrants and reduce taxes to attract people to move in, but because of the restrictions of propaganda and innate environment, the effect was not great.
After recognizing the current situation, the Sing Tao authorities gradually shifted the center of gravity of the imported population from the far north to the channels through which Sing Tao could have direct contact, such as the purchase of cheap slaves from neighboring countries. Most of these slaves came from prisoners of war born from years of fighting between the countries of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, and some were trafficked from Central and Western Asia and East Africa by Dutch and Portuguese slave traders. What Sing Tao needs is this kind of labor force with very low labor costs, so it simply used a large amount of the budget for immigration and resettlement to the purchase of slaves, so in just a few years, the proportion of the slave population in the total population of Sing Island has probably become the largest in the Haihan colony.
In addition to these slave populations, there is another source of population that cannot be ignored, that is, the prisoners who were transported from Manila this time, were exiled to Star Island by various regions under the rule of Haihan to serve hard labor, and their labor costs were even lower than those of slaves. Although it may not seem like a lot of people can be transported in a few dozen or even fewer at a time, the number of colonies in the South China Sea under the rule of the Haihan has increased year by year, and it is still a large number over the years.
Up to now, the number of forced labor camps in Sing Tao is second only to the two traditional penal colonies of Shilu Iron Mine and Heitugang Coal Mine, and these prisoners can be seen on the construction sites of many important local projects. Manila alone has sent more than 500 prisoners of war and exiled prisoners after the war.
