Valley Emperor

The localization of the Nanyang Islands has been going on for more than ten years, so in the end, after the localization of Luzon Island and Mindao Island was successful and included in the territory of the empire.

In fact, the impact is not large, people just feel that it is natural.

However, this is only the idea of ​​most people. For some people, the localization of Luzon Island and Mindao Island in the South China Sea has a huge impact.

Especially for the people of the empire who have immigrated to Nanyang and enterprises investing in Nanyang or related companies that trade with Nanyang, the success of localization in Nanyang is very important.

At the same time, this has also given great stimulation to other overseas territories.

The Nanyang Islands are so stubborn that they can gradually localize successfully, why can't they?

You must know that there is a reason why the localization of the Nanyang Islands is so slow. In addition to the fierce indigenous people and many cannibals, it is more because the local natural environment is too harsh.

Immigrant mortality rates are too high.

The high mortality rate of immigrants makes immigrants reluctant to come.

There is no such person, what about localization!

However, the Nanyang Islands with such a harsh natural environment are all about to succeed in localization, and other overseas territories can naturally follow suit.

For a time, officials from overseas territories in India, the Americas, and Africa were pondering how to learn the advanced experience of localization in the Southeast Asian region and complete localization as soon as possible.

In South Africa, a large number of officials are discussing how to speed up the process of localization in the bright conference room on the second floor of the African Affairs Office.

"The localization in the Nanyang region is excellent and efficient, but not all methods can be used in Africa. We still have to adapt to local conditions and cannot learn all methods!"

"It is naturally unrealistic to learn all the methods, but their policy of using barbarians to control barbarians is quite successful, and it can be combined with the labor policy, which can not only effectively improve the progress of our infrastructure construction in Africa, but also can Complete localization faster!”

"Using the barbarians to control the barbarians sounds good, and it sounds good to directly arm these barbarians, but have you ever thought that the Nanyang Zhudao are just islands, and we can easily divide these islands with the navy, even if there are indigenous occurrences in this way? In the event of a riot, it can also be controlled within a certain range, and then it can be encircled and suppressed calmly.

But in Africa, is this possible?

Africa is a whole continent. Once these indigenous people are armed, what will happen to the rebellion? "

"I suggest that we should adopt a prudent policy, based on labor policy, and gradually advance from various coastal strongholds, clean up one place, and immigrate to one place, instead of blindly supporting a large number of indigenous people!"

While the following officials were discussing, Tan Youling, the director of African affairs, was also pondering.

Tan Youling was the supervisor of African affairs who took office last year. Of course, this position is not actually a formal post, it is just a dispatch. He is only entrusted to supervise African affairs, which is a kind of imperial dispatch.

The people are generally called African ministers, as well as Nanyang ministers, Indian ministers, and American ministers.

His official is actually the Deputy Director-General of the African Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he has a high-ranking third-rank.

In addition, he is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. If this position is a real job, then it is a full five-rank, but his bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is not a real job, just a false title.

Basically, the civil servants who are outside the office on errands, such as the American affairs supervisor, the Indian affairs supervisor, the Nanyang affairs supervisor, the imperial ambassador to Europe, and others, all have the false title of the Hanlin Academy, which has no practical significance, but is just a symbol That's it.

The official system of the Tang Dynasty was relatively complicated, with dispatches, primary officials, and false titles, especially for senior officials. Important is also important, and it is not important to say that it is not important.

Sir, this is easy to understand.

And sending this is more interesting.

For example, it is the same Shangshu, one is an ordinary Shangshu, and the other is able to enter the imperial study room, the nature of the two is completely different.

The former is just an ordinary book, a high-ranking official of the second rank, but the latter is the minister on duty in the imperial study, one of the top nine officials in the empire, and can be called a very personable official.

In addition, in various yamen, many officials often have temporary dispatch granted by Shangguan. For example, an official in the governor's yamen may be temporarily granted a certain dispatch by the governor to handle certain affairs.

Sending, often also represents real power.

Tan Youling's official is the Deputy Director-General of the African Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With his official position, he only has certain diplomatic authority, but he is dispatched to supervise African affairs.

Therefore, in fact, he has the undisputed highest political power in the African region. The entire Africa, even the North African region including the Mediterranean coast, such as Morocco, falls under his jurisdiction.

In this area, except that he cannot directly mobilize the army and interfere with taxation, he can basically intervene, including declaring war on an indigenous tribe, negotiating peace, and so on.

Even tax and military affairs, he can intervene to some extent.

For example, he does not have the authority to collect taxes, but he can give tax subsidies to enterprises or ordinary people within the scope of his authority.

Many officials in the empire like to play with various tax subsidies, tax rebates and other means to attract investment or simply reduce the burden on enterprises or people.

In this regard, the tax department often ignores it. They only collect taxes according to fixed regulations. After receiving the tax, they leave a certain percentage of the tax to the local government as local financial funds, and the rest will be directly transferred to the national treasury.

The money allocated to the local finance, your local yamen likes to do whatever, whether it is all corruption or all tax rebates, it has nothing to do with them.

There is also this military affairs, directly mobilizing the army to fight, let alone Tan Youling, one of the other civilians is counted as one, all of them do not have this authority, and even not many within the military have this authority.

However, as the supervisor of African affairs, he, Tan Youling, can declare war and start war when he thinks it is appropriate.

How should I put it, in this part of Africa, how to fight after a war is launched is a matter of the military, but whether or not to fight is up to him, and the military does not have this authority.

From this point of view, in fact, he also has a certain military power.

But it is not absolute. If the military does not like him, or does not agree with a certain war, even if he declares war, the military can also choose to grind foreign workers.

Therefore, the war that the military wants to fight may not necessarily be fought.

But a war the military doesn't want to fight is definitely not going to be fought.

So many times, it has to be negotiated.

Tan Youling, the African minister, naturally has enormous power.

But it's also stressful!

He had previously worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country. Although he specialized in African affairs, it was the first time he had come to work in Africa.

By the time he figured out the basic situation here, it would have been a few months.

Then he, like the previous African ministers, put the center of his work on localization!

The Son of Heaven cares about localization, and the military and political leaders in Jinling are naturally flattering, so they also care about localization. This is specific to the civilians and military officers in overseas territories, and localization work is very important.

It belongs to the kind that gets promoted if you do well, and gets out if you don't do well.

Because the above has already regarded the quality of localization work as a measure of the performance of officials in overseas territories.

As for the industrial and commercial economy and the like, it is useless.

Anyway, no matter how the overseas territories are engaged, they can only be engaged in agriculture. At most, they can dig gold mines. Don't count on other industries. The business is mainly service industry, plus overseas trade and the like.

But the upper echelons of the empire didn't care much about that.

This has been done over and over, so localization has become the only breakthrough point for officials in overseas territories. If you want to be promoted, you should do localization.

It is rumored that the governor of Luzon has made great contributions to the localization of Luzon, and he is ready to be transferred back to the mainland to serve as governor of a certain province. It seems that his rank has not changed, but the importance of Luzon Province and the native province is higher or lower. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ at a glance.

If Tan Youling wants to achieve success as the African minister, localization is an unavoidable task.

However, after careful analysis, he found that it is quite difficult to localize in this place.

One is that the African continent is really too big, and many Tang people in inland areas have never set foot in it. It’s not that they can’t go, but they don’t dare to go.

Even the natural environment of the Southeast Asia region is better than that of the central region of Africa.

Whether it was the Portuguese in the past or the Tang Empire now, in fact, its presence in Africa was limited to coastal ports and did not go deep into the inland areas at all.

Even if it is South Africa, in fact, Datang actually controls only the South African Plain with the South African Port as the core.

The South African Plain is the name given by the Tang Empire to the two interconnected small plains at the southernmost tip of the African continent. The two small plains together are actually about 20,000 square kilometers, which is not as big as Dayuan Island.

However, these two plains are very rare in the whole of Africa with a Mediterranean climate. The rainwater is abundant and the land is fertile, which is very suitable for farming.

In addition, there is a large mountain to the north. This mountain stretches for hundreds of kilometers, directly cutting the South African plain and the African continent to the north.

At the same time, the South African port is also a necessary port connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

The combination of so many conditions made the Datang Empire take this area as a key development area.

And more than 100,000 people have immigrated here to cultivate and trade here.

After many years, today's South Africa has become a pearl of the empire on the African continent!
