Chapter 307： Strategic immigration (2/2)

Anyway, no matter what method you use, the indigenous population will be reduced by three tiers within five years, and our number of immigrants will exceed that of local indigenous people within ten years. ”

Under normal circumstances, this is an almost incomplete task. But it was not difficult to do this in this era, after all, the colonists did not have to doubt the ethics of the colonists.

Even if they don't know what to do, they can learn from their English and French counterparts, especially the British, who have the most experience in this area.

”Yes, Your Majesty!” Answered Colonel Minister Yosip Jelacic in a deep voice.

Knowing that this task was difficult to do, but the emperor had ordered it, and Josip Jelacic would not refuse. After all, it ’s not easy to do, it does n’t mean that you ca n’t do it. If you do n’t even try it, how do you know that it wo n’t work?

What made Franz cried was that after the economic crisis broke out, the enthusiasm of the nobles to invest in plantations rose suddenly.

Compared to unfamiliar industries and finance, everyone is more willing to invest in industries that they are familiar with. After all, the benefits of plantations are relatively stable and the risks are not so great.

There are so many immigrants on the African continent, but they are not just organized by the government. Many of them are recruited by the planters.

The royal family is one of the best. As the earliest investment colony, it has now developed tens of thousands of hectares of plantations.

Everyone is enthusiastic about growing wheat, cotton, cocoa, and coffee. These are industries that can see returns in the short term.

In contrast, the existence of Franz, a key investment rubber plantation, has become an alternative. Now the use of rubber is not as widespread as later generations, and the investment cycle is long, naturally unpopular.

If there are enough people, Franz is also willing to grow faster-growing cotton and coffee. Unfortunately, there is a real shortage of people now. In a hurry, you can only plant rubber trees first.

At present, the royal plantation has recruited more than 30,000 workers, which is still a fortune and has to use some local indigenous workers.

Recruiting quality labor from overseas is still ongoing. It takes more than half a year to go to Asia in this era, and it is difficult to think of it quickly.

Franz is now very concerned that, if left unchecked, planters and miners will soon be hooked on the use of cheap local labor, and he doesn't want to see slavery reviving in the colonies.

Now, it is only because everyone has no experience, these indigenous people have not been domesticated, and incidents of violent wounding and fugitives often make farmers and planters worry about the large number of indigenous workers.

The gold miners have begun to use local labor on a large scale, suppressing resistance by the powerful force in their hands.

Franz doesn't believe that everyone's morale will be high in front of interests. Paying attention to eating is nothing more than studying the royal plantation, using salt, cloth and other materials to hire people from the indigenous tribal chiefs.

Cruel and ruthless, send people to catch slaves directly. The continent is so chaotic that there are many places beyond the control of the colonial government. Gold miners are part-time slave owners, and part-time slave traders abound.

In the short term, this is indeed a good thing, reducing production costs and gaining more benefits.

From a long-term perspective, the large-scale use of slave labor will seize the jobs of immigrants, which will not only seriously hinder the economic development of the colonies, but also increase social conflicts.

Another reason that cannot be said is that Franz wants to pit its biggest competitors and weaken their development potential.

Historically, nearly half of the immigrants to the United States during this period came from Germany, Italy, and Southern Europe. Now, most of these immigrants are diverted by Franz.

The labor shortage in the United States is more serious than in history. In this context, the conflict between industrial owners in the north and planters in the south is even greater.

Franz, who is helpful, naturally wants to help them. When white immigrants are not enough, they use black immigrants; if they are of poor quality, they use numbers.

If you think about it, half of the immigrants to the United States each year are black, so it will be very interesting in the future. What is the price for this?
