Tang Tong saw that everyone had expressed their opinions. Regardless of whether these people were sincere or insincere, Tang Tong was not too worried. These people basically had no chance of returning to Da'an to file a complaint against him, so for the time being, he could still use them without worry.
Tang Tong immediately assigned everyone their tasks. Hei Pi was responsible for the military expansion operations in Nanyang, Tang Chaosan was responsible for the West and commercial activities from Nanyang to Da'an, Xu Ren was responsible for the management of the shipyard and Da'an City, Dayuer and Hai Lanzhu were temporarily Xu Ren's deputies, Liu Yiming was responsible for the training and finances of the army, Hong Niangzi and Liu Rushi were temporarily Liu Yiming's deputies.
"Okay, everyone, this is our current task. Another point is that we need to increase the efforts to immigrate here from Dayuan. Now there are many disaster victims from Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places in Dayuan. Everyone who comes here, regardless of gender, age or status, will be given 100 acres of land. If they are soldiers, they will be given another 500 acres of land as resettlement fees. In addition, the Jiannu, Mongolian and other people who joined our army will be treated the same as the Han people, but they must change their Chinese surnames. The Japanese and Koreans who have made contributions will also be treated the same as their families. Those who have not made contributions will not be supported for the time being. Does anyone have anything to add?" After Tang Tongyu assigned everyone their tasks, he talked about immigration.
"Sir, such a large-scale immigration will cost a huge amount of money." Liu Yiming said first.
"Don't worry about that. This is a tropical jungle with abundant output. It costs much less than the money spent on immigration to the mainland of our country. In addition, we will use the funds from the slave trade for this purpose. We will equip the young and strong immigrants with muzzle-loading muskets and encourage them to capture local indigenous people in exchange for the daily necessities they need. There is one more thing I must emphasize. We do not sell female slaves. All captured women, no matter who captured them, can be made his wives or concubines. If the man feels that he cannot support them, my goal is that he can give them to his friends or our soldiers. Of course, the person who receives the gift can give him a certain amount of compensation." Under normal circumstances, Tang Tong would not resort to massacres. After all, slaves are also a kind of property, and Tang Tong would not waste them casually. As for women, the Han people's view is the patriarchal system. No matter who the man's mother is, as long as his father is Han, in Tang Tong's view, that person is Han.
"Then, sir, with so many people, I'm afraid we will have to establish a government management agency. But sir, where can we recruit so many scholars?" Xu Ren looked up at Tang Tong and asked his question.
"This is even less of a problem. We have our own school, and there will be many scholars in the future, so we don't have to worry about business management. But in this way, we are truly independent of the country. Fortunately, this place is a bit far from the emperor, and I guess the emperor won't be interested in this place for the time being." Tang Tong said, glancing at everyone and observing their expressions.
Tang Tong waited for a while, and when no one spoke, he asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Heipi and the others were mostly rough and sparse, rarely thinking about so many things. When they heard Tang Tong's question, they all shook their heads. Tang Tong looked at Dayu'er and said, "What about you? Don't you have anything to ask?"
"Zi, are you planning to focus on development here in the future?" Dayuer thought for a while and finally asked the question in her heart. In everyone's mind, Nanyang is an undeveloped and barbaric place. Generally speaking, no one is willing to settle here. Even if a country is established here, it is just a barbaric country that is not well-known in everyone's mind and has no orthodox status.
"Well, I have to tell you about this issue. Although this place has many advantages and its future development is limitless, I have not thought about putting all my energy here. At present, we are developing here just to accumulate strength. When we have enough strength, we will still return to Da'an to develop. Another factor is that this is a good place to develop the navy. After we occupy this place, it can become a barrier for our continent in the future, especially where we are now in Da'an City. In the future, it will not only be an important commercial channel, but also an important military fortress. Therefore, this Da'an City must be built into an important city with equal emphasis on military and commerce." As a person who traveled from the future, Tang Tong naturally knew how important the place where he was now would be in the future. If there was a powerful navy controlling this place, then in the future, whether Westerners wanted to invade or trade, they would not be able to occupy the active side.
After hearing Tang Tong's explanation, Dayuer and Hailanzhu both breathed a sigh of relief. This place was too far away from their grassland. It was really uncomfortable to think about staying here for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, Tang Tong was very ambitious, and that continent was the one that must be fought for. Moreover, the greater Tang Tong's ambition, the greater the benefits that Dayuer and the others might get in the future.
