Chapter 219: Differentiation and Pulling

Chang'an (San Francisco)

November 6th

A young monarch like Richard will not live in the deep palace for long, he is restless, and he is a superman of force, has a very effective mysterious premonition, and is good at seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, so he often inspects around the country and has been assassinated more than a dozen times.

No, I had just returned from a train tour of the Northern Province, Oregon, Idaho, and Utah, and I stayed at the Bayside Palace.

The trip was generally smooth, except that while visiting Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah Province, he was assassinated by a lone wolf on the street.

Unfortunately, as soon as the assassin pulled out his revolver, he was hit like a hornet's nest by a dense rain of bullets.

Finding out after the fact

Lone Ranger is the "Sunflower Killer" Sith Deng, who is accustomed to using a pepper shaker revolver, he is the best bounty hunter in the West and has been famous for more than 10 years, but he didn't expect to be bloody on the streets.

The famous "Sunflower Killer" Sith Deng can be said to be one of the best gunmen in the world today, with a lightning-fast shot and no missed shots.

If you hide in the shadows and make a sudden attack, it is difficult for ordinary people to hide and assassinate them on the street.

It's a pity that these strange tricks are completely inadequate in front of Richard, as if a little candle in the dark night has already locked onto the target, and has been beaten like a sieve by the palace guards.

There is no doubt that this account will be recorded in the old man in the United States.

A few years have passed

President Taylor is a thing of the past, and now Democratic President Franklin Pierce, a new lakemaker.

However, no matter which US president comes to power, the Tang Kingdom is its biggest external enemy and strategic competitor after all, and the diplomatic and economic and trade relations between the two sides have always been bumpy due to a series of major issues and sharp opposition of interests.

The top task of "assassinating the demon king Charlie" has been passed down one after another.

Overseas Palace

Located on the towering northern mesa of San Francisco Bay, not far from the proposed Golden Gate Bridge, the Pavilion offers unrivalled views over the bay and is not far from the heavily guarded Battery Coastal Fortress.

In November, Chang'an became colder and colder after winter.

In particular, the bay shrine, located high on the coast, is even more chilly at night, and the sea breeze is howling, and the actual temperature feels much colder than a few degrees above zero.

The queen and a group of concubines did not live here, the princes and princesses of the Tang royal family are young, can not stand the sea breeze and heavy cold, often in June ~ September every year, the climate is hot will come to live for a period of vacation and recreation.

This bit of cold, for Richard, who has a super physique, is completely a breezy little case.

Accompanying King Richard are three Mexican stunner sisters, and after a few years, these three beautiful Mexican girls have completely transformed into stunners in the world.

Night falls

At the top of the towering cliff, Richard stood like a tall green pine in his thin clothes, and beside him, six huge bald sea darts lined up like loyal guards, eagles looking around, standing firmly.

These adult sea dives are so large that they can reach Richard's chest when they stand, and they glide off a cliff with two steps forward, with a wingspan of up to three meters.

Feeling the strong sea breeze blowing, Richard looked at the bay with a deep gaze.

In the far reaches of the bay, there is a faint light, overwhelmingly extending to the end of the view.

That is today's Chang'an City (San Francisco), with the expansion of the city scale again and again, high-rise buildings, the original new municipal scale fission general expansion of more than 20 times, has been connected with the surrounding herbs, grape valleys, rose estate, forming a magnificent new city.

by the end of October 1844;

The population of Chang'an City has exceeded 933,100, which is only one step away from reaching the goal of a city with a population of one million.

Of course

This statistic includes the population of Sunshine City, Moon Town, Fangcaodi Town, and a series of affiliated towns in the Grape Valley, such as Yiyiling Town to Wudaoling Town, but does not include the population of Shanghewan City and Xiahewan City.

According to the planning plan proposed by the parliament, due to the rapid expansion of the city's scale, there are a lot of corresponding urban construction problems and management problems, and Chang'an City will undergo urban restructuring.

That is, the implementation of "urban area"

The new town was changed to "New Town" and "San Francisco" was originally changed to "

Longshouyuan District", Fangcaodi Town was changed to "Fangcao District", a total of 5 towns from Yiling to Wudaoling Town were changed to "Wudaoling District", Sunshine City was changed to "Sunshine District", Moon Town and the surrounding small towns were changed to "Moon District", in addition to "Nanwan District" and "Beiwan District", a total of 9 urban districts, "Beiwan District" is the location of the Bay Palace.

After the "urbanization" restructuring, the geographical division of each urban area is clear, and the corresponding district government agencies, district police stations, district taxation bureaus, district courts and corresponding institutions are set up one by one, which is more conducive to the future development of Chang'an City, a super metropolis.

The "New Town", "San Francisco" and "Sunshine District" are the three population concentration areas, with a population of more than 250,000 urban residents, the smallest population, while the total population of the "Longshouyuan District", where the top elites gather, is only a little over 20,000, a difference of more than 12 times.

After the establishment of districts, it will be conducive to the healthy and high-speed development of all urban areas, to rational construction, and to the balanced development of resource distribution and urban construction.

Richard retracted his gaze and reached out to caress the white-headed sea sculpture on his side, and the white-headed sea sculpture also responded lightly with his head on the top of his head, enjoying the pampering of his master.

Look inside the bay

Sparkling in the bright moonlight, the sound of the tide is faintly heard, and the cargo ships and sailing ships anchored in the bay take on huge shadows, dotted with scattered fjords.

If you count them, there are more than 200 of them.

With the development of the Tang Kingdom's maritime trade and trans-Pacific northern migration routes, it has risen to become a maritime power on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean, with a considerable total tonnage of its naval power and ocean-going merchant fleet, and even contracted trade and transportation tasks for Central American countries and South American countries.

From the port of Vancouver, the port of Seattle, the port of Portland, the port of San Francisco, the port of Los Angeles, south to the port of Panama in Central America, and then continue to extend south, all the way to the southernmost point of South America, Tierra del Fuego across the Strait of Magellan, and even bypass the island of del fuego to the port of Buenos Aires.

The ocean shipping industry has also become a new industry in the Tang Kingdom, with strong demand, supporting the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry and the steel industry.

Unlike Europe's old seafaring powers, the Tang Kingdom's ocean shipping industry is based on the emerging steel and shipbuilding industry, and has developed particularly rapidly, reaching the world's leading level in some aspects.

Mid-19th century

With the British 10,000-ton "Great Eastern" freighter on the slipway for construction, the 10,000-ton freighter "Kunlunshan" of the Tang Kingdom also cut the first iron plate and entered the dock construction stage.

Driven by the demand for trans-Pacific and transatlantic ocean transportation, the cargo fleet of the Datang Kingdom, which is dominated by ships of 3,000 to 5,000 tons, has a tendency to build more and more cargo ships.

Different from the broadside paddle wheels and reserved sail designs that are common in large European iron freighters, the Tang Kingdom has taken its own characteristics in ship construction.

The ocean shipping freighters and cruise ships of the Tang Kingdom generally canceled the sails, canceled the side paddle wheels, and only adopted the sole power design of the propeller, which greatly reduced the construction process and cumbersomeness, improved the work efficiency, and the use effect was excellent.

In addition to the use of thermal coal, the ocean-going cargo ships of the Tang Kingdom are also widely equipped with heavy oil tanks, which are input to support combustion when necessary to enhance the power of the ship.

On the basis of the British horizontal steam engine, Datang Kingdom Heavy Marine Power Machinery Co., Ltd. has successfully developed and discharged a series of improved steam engines through years of close cooperation with the Ship Power Laboratory of the University of California, which has greatly reduced the volume of steam boilers and steam engines, increased power by 60%, reduced coal combustion by 31%, and can withstand the super steam pressure when heavy oil is burned.

On this basis

The research project of the Ship Power Laboratory of the University of California, funded by the royal family, also has key scientific research projects such as the new three-expansion steam engine and the vertical steam engine, bringing together the world's outstanding mechanical power experts and other experts, and striving to make new breakthroughs in the field of ship power.

In this field, the scientific and technological level of the Tang Kingdom has been comparable to the world's top cause and effect.

This is because not long after the start of the steam revolution, Yin Shi was established in the Tang Kingdom, and he attached great importance to the development of this field, and introduced a large number of internationally advanced equipment and processes at that time, and the starting point was relatively high.

The second is to recruit talents with generous treatment, and now the European scientific and technological community knows that in the universities and top research institutes of the Tang Kingdom, they can get the most generous remuneration.

An experienced research-oriented professor of physics, chemistry or mechanical engineering, can get a monthly salary of 250~300 yuan, and there is also a large research subsidy, can be equipped with two Indian maids and a single-family house, enjoy a good life.

Such an income level is 10 times that of the average person.

As a country with a high degree of industrialization, the salary level of the Tang Kingdom has risen year by year, and the monthly salary of the ordinary working class is between 23 yuan ~ 35 yuan.

The monthly salary of experienced senior craftsmen in shipyards can often reach between 55 yuan ~ 60 yuan, which is the highest level.

Farm and plantation workers earn a low monthly salary of 20~25 yuan, and rarely exceed the monthly salary of 25 yuan, which refers to Chinese and white workers with household registration.

In the countless cotton plantations in the eight provinces of Mexico in the southern part of the Tang Kingdom, there are still 100,000 Mexican black laborers, whose monthly salary is only 5~6 yuan, and many people can't even get money.

Due to various restrictions, it was basically impossible for these oppressed Mexican black workers to obtain household registration in the Tang Kingdom, and they were afraid of being caught by fierce patrols and put into hard labor camps, so they could only hide in the plantations and endure the oppression of Chinese or white cotton plantation owners.

His treatment of blood and tears is tantamount to that of a slave.

In the past, some people in the press with a sense of justice published the tragic plight of illegal workers in Mexico who were exploited and oppressed in the newspapers, calling for the attention and sympathy of the whole society, hoping to get the attention of the government departments.

His Majesty the King has publicly stated; "The existence of illegal oppression will never be allowed, and I hope that local governors and town officials will pay attention to it and investigate it in order to maintain social justice."

The royal government also mobilized a large number of people to send inspection teams to the eight southern provinces to inspect and picket the corresponding illegal and oppressive acts.

The incident went into turmoil for more than half a year, and finally 11 officials and 166 plantation owners were investigated and punished, and thousands of illegal Mexican workers were rescued. The most serious is the loss of office, and the plantation owner is generally fined.

The whole "Mexican Black Workers Incident" thundered and rained little, and finally came to an end.

Compared with the thousands of cotton plantations in the eight southern provinces and the nearly 550,000 Mexican black workers, the thousands of Mexican black workers who have been rescued are just a drizzle.

The board is raised high and gently lowered.

The final report of the Royal Government Investigation Team is; "After investigation, the discovery of "black Mexican workers" is a very small number of incidental incidents, which are neither widespread nor representative. Even more serious are the illegal border crossings, which have caused a large number of Mexican refugees to cross the border in search of a way out due to the outbreak of the Mexican Civil War, which has caused a large number of Mexican refugees to cross the border in search of a way out......"

In any case, it was a cloud and a fog that brought the focus of social attention into the Mexican Civil War, which had just broken out, and those Chinese cotton plantation owners became extremely sympathetic patrons and responsible gentlemen.

The two newspapers and practitioners who were the first to report on the illegal labor incident in Mexico were frantically counterattacked by the cotton plantation owners, and the newspapers closed down one after another, and the Chinese reporters Liu Zhenhua and Hu Kan, who were the first to report the incident, were shot dead on the street one after another, and their wives and children were implicated and attacked, and others also ended up miserable.

Unlike the monarch who lived in the deep palace for a long time, Richard spent half a year running around, and the assassination could not scare him at all, and the real situation below could not hide from him.

He knows the truth about the so-called "Mexican Black Workers Incident" better than anyone else.

But so what?

Come to think of it

A smile of disdain appeared on Richard's grim face, and the truth was clear in the vast land of North America, which is rich in resources!

The plate of the total amount of resources is placed here, if you eat more, I will eat less, and if you occupy more, I will occupy less.

Whether it is Indians, Mexicans, or whites who refuse to be naturalized and integrated, they will not be welcomed by the Tang Kingdom, they will all be suppressed and eliminated, and they will all be oppressed and treated unfairly.

This is a policy based on the founding principles of the Tang Kingdom and the basic market of Richard Chinese, and it is impossible for the ass to sit crookedly, but to help the Mexican black workers or indigenous Indians.

How can it be possible to assimilate people with different nationalities, different languages, different skin colors, different religious beliefs, different social customs, and even different eating habits?

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

Richard's strategy was to divide and co-opt, focusing on the strong white ethnic group and affirmative policies, and vigorously promoting intermarriage and ethnic integration, so that they could be closely integrated with the interests of the Tang Kingdom and become part of his own people.

The policy of extermination and enslavement of the indigenous Indian tribes led to a rapid decline of the millions of indigenous Indians in the Tang Kingdom, which now stands at less than 430,000.

According to the information from the labor camps in various mines, this number will quickly drop to less than 100,000 in less than ten years.

Fifteen years from now, that number will be below 30,000.

The policy towards Mexicans is a combination of oppression and enslavement, with strict restrictions on naturalization, and those Mexican black workers have worked hard all their lives, and they don't want to get a legal Tang Kingdom hukou.
