Chapter 1483

Fur, silk, porcelain, and various books and scriptures from the Song Dynasty, were sold to Japan and North Korea for gold and silver from Japan, as well as Korean Korean ginseng and other specialties...

After making money back and forth, the money will often generate huge profits of ten to twenty times. This makes Wan Bin, the shopkeeper of the Song Wanhong Trading Company, who is currently responsible for overseas trade with Liaodong, so excited that he feels like he is injected with chicken blood every day.

The wealth gains obtained every month are enough to make the Song Dynasty a million-dollar rich man. However, the benefits obtained are not all turned into dividends, but will continue to be invested.

Become a variety of resources, even slaves...

After hearing this word, Wan Bin was immediately dissatisfied and retorted to Mr. Zhong.

"In fact, this cannot be considered a slave. What Wan did was to summon those poor and helpless people, let them go to the vast and peaceful land, let them farm and harvest here.

Every year, they only need to provide 10% of their income, and the others belong to them entirely. This is even happier than the tenants in our Song Dynasty. How can they be said to be slaves?"

"Besides, those guys were originally the people of the Liao Kingdom. They fled here. If you take them in, you still have to worry about whether they were carefully arranged by the Northern Liao Dynasty or the inner supporters."

"After that being said, there are really many people here who were specially arranged by the Northern Liao people, but they have been removed one by one and have been driven to the north of Esiao land to mine."

"Besides, the many prisoners of war you captured are still a disaster after all. Now they are all handed over to Wan. They can also mine mineral deposits for me in the Song Dynasty. The large amount of iron materials they have obtained can directly support Liaodong. Where can you find such a beautiful thing in both worlds?"

Seeing Wan Bin's expression of striking expression, Zhong Shidao and Na Zongze could only look at each other without saying a word. They kept smiling bitterly, because it was really difficult to refute.

Last year, the offensive and defensive battles on the Liaodong Peninsula were finally based on the power of artillery in front of the artillery, which made the Eastern Army of the Song Dynasty achieve a great victory of winning with less and more.

The prisoners of war alone had more than 15,700. Such a huge number of prisoners of war was a big headache for the Eastern Army of the Song Dynasty.

Even if it is a prisoner, it would be amazing to bring in hundreds of officials who have been in charge and throw them into Tokyo Bianliang. How should the rest be dealt with?

As a result, Wang Yang, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Wanhong Trading Company, encouraged the emperor, and the emperor Zhao Xu also felt that releasing so many strong laborers to return would be equivalent to causing trouble for Da Song himself.

Therefore, he agreed with Wang Yang's opinion and handed over the prisoners of war to Wanhong Trading Company, which will contribute free funds and use the prisoners of war to build various infrastructure, cement straight roads, houses, wharfs, etc. for the Song Dynasty on the Liaodong Peninsula.

However, there were too many people, so Wan Bin turned his attention to the Soyu Islands. The so-called Soyu Islands are a desolate island north of the Great Island of Japan.

Wang Yang had long told Wan Bin that the large island was vast and sparsely populated, and no regime was established. Wan Bin chose an appropriate opportunity to set up an ocean-going trading base exclusively to Wanhong Trading Company.

The Hokkaido, which later generations called Hokkaido, was once inhabited by the Ainu people. In another historical time and space, until the end of the 16th century, the Matsumaki clan of Japan crossed the sea to build Fukuyama Castle and occupied the land.

Soon Hokkaido became the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate. In the first year of Meiji (1868 AD), the Meiji new government decided to set up a Bokun Inquisition in the Hokun Territory, and then changed the name to Bokun Independence.

In 1869, the Hokkaido was renamed Hokkaido, and 86 counties were set up in the 11 countries. After the establishment of the Hokkaido Envoy in July of the same year, the development of Hokkaido was officially launched. In 1882, the development of Hakodate, Sapporo and Nemuro were abolished, and the three prefectures of Hakodate, Sapporo and Nemuro were set up to replace the development envoy. In 1886, the Hokkaido Office was set up for the three prefectures. Due to the Meiji government's policies, many Japanese moved from all over the mainland, and the wave of development poured into the various parts of the Dao.

In 1869, when the Meiji government asked to give a new name for "Haoi", Matsuura Takeshiro combined the "North" (きた), "カイナー" (the name of the Ainu people to the local area), and the "Dao" (どう), which is commonly used by Japan for territory, and translated into Chinese characters as "Keikayidao", and finally obtained the adoption.

However, considering the "Tokaido", "Nankaido" and "Sikaido" in the Five Ki-Seven Roads in the era of the Ruling system, it is therefore converted to "Hokkaido" (ほっかいどう).

Now, nearly six or seven hundred years have passed since the Japanese intend to develop the Hokkien land. At this time, the Japanese were busy with village-level and town-level wars, so they had no time to deal with the affairs since the island of Japan.

Before, Wan Bin had gone to the Hokkien land many times to investigate, and had left a team of more than 100 people stationed here, and also established a small dock here.

According to Wang Yang's naming method, it named Lushun Island, and began to build Lushun Port (that is, the location of Hakodate in later generations).

Then he began to explore the Hoi Island and contact the Ainu people on the Hoi Island. For those local Ainu people, they could easily gain the great favor of these indigenous people who had difficulty in food and clothing by using food and warm clothing.

On Lushun Island, more than half of the tribes of less than 50,000 Ainu people began to gather in the direction of Lushun Island, and through their own labor, they exchanged the Wanhong Trading Club of the Song Dynasty for the supplies they urgently needed.

These simple, honest, and hardworking Ainu people became the helper of Wanhong Trading Company to develop this huge island.

Wan Bin even invited a lot of literate people and began to teach Chinese on Lushun Island. The old driver Wang Yang repeatedly explained to him, only the same book and the same train, and the same journey.

Only by assimilating those alien races and turning them from alien races to our own people in the Song Dynasty. Especially for these barbaric and uncivilized alien races, it is even simpler.

If they can meet their needs in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and can also influence them through culture and language, it will not take many years for the so-called Ainu people to disappear, and they will only think that they are also people of the Song Dynasty.

With the addition of these indigenous people from Lushun Island, the construction of pier and towns here has accelerated. Wan Bin began to wave his wealth and recruit a large number of people and craftsmen to go to the Espresso area around Jingdong East Road.

However, after receiving the nearly 16,000 prisoners of war, Wan Bin couldn't help but be overjoyed. After all, slaves, oh no... prisoners of war are completely different from those islanders. After all, islanders have to pay for their work.
