Li Shimin set a precedent of selling other people's land to make a fortune, and now Zhang Chao has begun to do the same.
Empty gloves white wolf, don't feel distressed when you sell cubs.
Fifteen overseas colonial territories received 30 million yuan for the deposit alone, and another 60 million yuan for the land sale.
The imperial court has released fifteen fiefdoms at one time, and the quota is limited, and the next time the quota is released, I don't know when the opportunity will be.
Therefore, although it is far away in Australia and the United States, there are businessmen who are still excited, and even because Zhang Chao gave a lot of very preferential conditions, such as tax exemption for the first five years of the colony.
Another example is that the colonies are not restricted from using troops against natives in their fiefdoms.
Each colony has a large territory, and it is a very good place to develop.
Australia's seven colonies are all on the southeast coast, and the fiefdoms of the Americas are found in North America and South America, avoiding the Central America, where the indigenous forces are strongest.
In every place, there is a lot of potential to be tapped.
For those well-capitalized merchants, a colonial company required at least thirteen shareholders, so four million dollars for the purchase of land, plus two million deposits, was really nothing.
Looking at the royal management of Tamna, Luzon, Liuqiu, as well as Qinzhou Port, Dalian, Lushun Port, Jiaozhou Port, Lijiapo Port, Zhangjiakou City and other commercial ports, all of which are cornucopia of gold and silver, who is not impressed.
Anyway, whether a colony is worth four million or not, this thing is also a matter of opinion, Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, each takes what he needs, and the cooperation is happy.
In the eyes of some ordinary people, they may think that spending four million to run thousands of miles away to buy a piece of territory is simply crazy.
What can that land be used for?
But for some businessmen with deep capital, it is completely different, and they have a more long-term vision.
To put it simply, a businessman is only a businessman no matter how rich he is, but if he has a large number of workers and can even pay a large amount of taxes, then he may become a member of the Chamber of Commerce or even a member of the Parliament.
The identity immediately changed and was completely different.
And if a group of powerful businessmen form a colonial company and buy a territory to operate, they become shareholders of the colonial company, and their status is immediately different.
When businessmen reach a certain level, they no longer simply make money from commodities, they pursue influence.
"Isn't Your Majesty really worried about him?"
In the Imperial Book Garden, Zhang Chao and Ma Zhou and other Zaifu each led a Erha to walk the dog.
Ma Zhou was very helpless, as soon as he saw that Erha, he didn't like it.
But the emperor's reward was undeniable, and several prime ministers rewarded one.
Nine prime ministers and nine bachelors can't do one for each person, so it is said that those who can be rewarded with Erha are still deeply favored by the emperor.
But Ma Zhou really doesn't like it.
No, this will be him chatting with the emperor while walking, but the rope in his hand suddenly can't be pulled.
When he turned around, Erha was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and his tongue was sticking out a long way.
He tugged a few times, Erha just didn't move, he dragged hard, but Erha really let it go.
"This dead dog" Ma Zhou was angry.
Zhang Chao laughed, "You are usually busy all day long, you should also take more walks, you still have thirst, you should exercise more."
In the future, you can take this dog back and raise it well, and walk it for half an hour every morning and evening, which can be regarded as helping you exercise. ” Zhang Chao gave a serious order to Ma Zhou, "You must walk in person, and you can't let someone replace you." ” Ma Zhou looked helpless, he had never seen an emperor give such an order to the prime minister, give him such a difficult dead dog, and raise it himself.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this dog is not sick, it must be unadaptable.
You see that his hair is so long and thick, he originally lived in the ice and snow tundra in the northeast, and now he is raised with us, the weather is so hot, and it is summer again, this dog is afraid that he will not be able to adapt to it.
Look, let's spare the minister. ” "No, you must raise this dog, and you have to keep it.
If he feeds the dead and loses weight, I will settle accounts with you. ” Over there, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were also in a hurry, although the two of them were tied to a chain, they were also biting and howling at each other there, and the two ministers were really annoying.
But when they heard the words of the emperor and Ma Zhou, they could only smile helplessly.
When the emperor is sometimes unreasonable, what can they do?
Ma Zhou simply dragged the rope directly, as a stone was dragged.
The dog was also stiff, and he was stunned to remain in a position like a corpse, and let Ma Zhou drag him step by step.
Zhang Chao watched with great joy from the side. snapped his fingers, his Erha immediately squatted in front of him, Zhang Chao commanded him to make a few movements, and then rewarded him with a piece of beef jerky.
Ma Zhou looked at Zhang Chao's Erha, and then looked at his own.
How can the difference be so big?
"Your Majesty, this must be the Dog King."
Ma Zhou gritted his teeth.
Zhang Chao handed a few pieces of beef jerky to Ma Zhou, "You can't be hard with Erha, otherwise their brains will be hard with you."

They eat soft rather than hard, and they take some jerky to lure them, and they are immediately obedient. ” Ma Zhou tried to take the beef jerky and lure it.
Sure enough, Erha, who had been lying on the corpse and pretending to be dead just now, immediately came to life and shook his head and tail around him. threw a piece of beef jerky over, and Erha was extremely happy to eat.
Ma Zhou shook his head and sighed, it was really laughable to meet such a dog.
"Your Majesty, aren't you really worried about him?"
Zhang Chao knew that he was talking about Li Shimin, and for Li Shimin, Dahua now generally calls him King Mei, although the title of King Mei is actually on his son Li Hong.
But you can't just call them by their first names.
"Don't worry, what's there to worry about.
If he could be more sensible, he would know that there was no chance of victory against him.
He can't do without the Central Plains, he needs our merchant ship supplies, and he also needs to trade with us.
Otherwise, with his little strength, it is difficult to even confront the natives, and it is very difficult to develop, let alone make a comeback one day. ” "Then Your Majesty is not worried about his comeback" "Li Shimin is in his forties, and he can live for 20 years at most.
What can he do in twenty years in the Americas" That's not in the Central Plains, if there is a ten-year accumulation in the Central Plains, maybe you can train an elite army, and then raise an army.
Perhaps through war, we can quickly increase our strength.
But Li Shimin is in the Americas, that place, all of them are natives, even if he conquers some tribes, he will only become the king of a group of primitive natives.
Without enough population, technology, craftsmen and even scholars, etc., if you want to rise from scratch in the Americas, twenty years is definitely not enough.
And the isolation of the Pacific Ocean will make Li Shimin have any ambitions for the Central Plains, and he can only sigh.
Zhang Chao is not afraid of Li Shimin, and what he is doing now is not afraid of capital enemies.
He did all this for the sake of pioneering.
Li Shimin's father and son were only the first batch to pioneer, and now the second batch of pioneers has been sent, and there will be a third and fourth batch in the future, and colonial strongholds will be established one by one, and then slowly expanded.
Conquer the Aliens and eventually gain a foothold there.
Perhaps, two or three hundred years later, when the Han people over there become stronger, they will break away from Dahua, but so what.
Zhang Chao didn't care.
In the long run, this is the development of the Han family and the expansion of civilization.
In the near term, before they have enough strength to get rid of the Dahua Empire, the Dahua Empire's investment there will be more rewards.
Even now, the imperial court has not invested much, but it has already made a lot of money.
After those bases were established, the Central Plains would have another export market and an additional supply place for raw materials.
For a long time, it was difficult for the vassal states and colonial leaders to establish a complete set of handicraft systems, and they mainly had to rely on the Central Plains in this regard, and they would be the source of many commodity raw materials, produce raw materials, and then sell them to the mother country, and buy those processed goods from the mother country.
In this mode, in fact, the imperial court sucks blood from the princes, and it will become stronger and stronger.
And the princes will become more and more dependent on the mother country, they do not have a systematic industrial and commercial manufacturing industry, so it will be difficult for the arms and other aspects to develop independently.
Once they turn their backs on the mother of the country and are cut off from economic exchanges, they often get the end of economic collapse.
As long as Zhang Chao can impose a certain technological blockade on the vassal states and prevent them from easily developing their own industrial and commercial manufacturing system, they will always lack a backbone that can allow them to stand up.
This is how many colonial powers in later generations treated their colonies, making them a single economic model, a supplier of raw materials, and a place to sell goods and goods.
Some colonies, let alone the production of weapons, are not capable of producing even a needle.
Dahua will become more and more powerful in the future, absorbing the blood transfusion of vassal states and colonies, mineral smelting, ordnance manufacturing, shipbuilding and car manufacturing, etc., and has a strong military mobilization and equipment capacity, how can the vassal states compete with the imperial court.
The supplies sent to Li Shimin this time were not given in vain.
Li Shimin wants to exchange things, whether it is gold, fur, even slaves, herbs, etc., even if the poor can only exchange dried fish, he has to exchange.
If you don't have money, you owe the loan and pay the interest.
In short, it will not be a gratuitous supply, it will be a trade method in the future.
Li Shimin wanted a sword, a sword, a boat, a medicinal herb, and even a sewing needle, he had to buy it from Zhang Chao.
Moreover, Zhang Chao will also make more restrictions on the export of many craftsmen and technical talents in the manufacturing industry in the future.
Li Shimin wants to get rid of the imperial court and develop a self-sufficient system by himself, but he still has a long way to go.
"What if he hears the changes in the Central Plains and can't figure it out" "There won't be that way."
"Who can guarantee that his temper is also stubborn at times."
Zhang Chao smiled and teased his Erha, and said casually, "He is not the American prince canonized by the imperial court, the real American prince is someone else." ” t1706231537:
