Chapter 1222: Inspecting the World of the Tang Dynasty (Part 2)

When the Dawu Empire went to war, there were generally two situations for the aborigines on the newly occupied land.

One was to clear out all the male aborigines and leave only the female aborigines.

This situation was often used to deal with those outlying islands, such as the islands in the South Sea of ​​the Empire. There, the imperial army slaughtered the male aborigines openly and even with rewards, and this work continued until there were no local men on the island who were all Han Chinese.

Of course, if there were too many aborigines on large islands, such as Luzon Island, and it was inconvenient to exterminate them all, the policy would be changed to capture the aborigines and take them back as slaves.

Another situation was that some of the aborigines on the mainland saw the opportunity quickly and rushed to surrender, so it was not easy for the empire to slaughter them. The main approach was to control the local economic lifeline, and intermarriage between the Han people and the local aborigines was gradually realized.

Moreover, local officials must be of Han descent. Not only that, there were no preferential treatments for these areas. For example, the Homestead Law did not apply to them. If they wanted to apply, they must be of Han descent.

Are you kidding~~

I conquered the place for you to use with people of other descent?

How can that be reasonable!

Compared with John Bull, who is known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" in the real world, John Bull's white people are an extremely arrogant race. They are high above and do not intermarry with the natives, while the Dawu Empire strongly advocates intermarriage with the natives to assimilate them as soon as possible.

After 20 to 30 years, basically all of them except for a few areas will speak Chinese!

The current economic policy of the Dawu Empire is to give equal weight to agriculture and commerce.

Driven by Hao Shuai's continuous provision of various high-yield grains, the food supply is extremely abundant and can fully meet the needs of population growth.

And with population, there is soil for the development of commodity economy.

The development of commodity economy requires the generation of technology!

Even without Hao Shuai's black technology reminder, the Dawu Empire has now invented the steam engine.

The large-scale application of steam engines has stimulated the rapid improvement of coal production, steel casting and machinery manufacturing technology.

More importantly, the use of steamships has enabled steam engine + sail hybrid ships to start running around in the vast waters of the empire.

In addition, the early steam-powered trains have already connected the major cities of the empire's major states.

Although slowness is a major disadvantage, it can go without food or water and keep moving day and night, which is unmatched by any other means of transportation.

As the empire occupied Southeast Asia, rubber naturally became one of the empire's commodities.

With rubber, bicycles, a convenient means of transportation, began to enter thousands of households in large numbers, traveling through the streets and alleys with its lightness and durability, making the empire a veritable "bicycle kingdom".

According to statistics from the empire, there is one bicycle for every three people and this number is constantly increasing.

Street cars have also developed in cities. Small steam locomotives drag carriages along the city rails, greatly facilitating people's economy and life.

Due to the development of technology, science has also developed, and casting technology, mathematics, construction technology, etc. have made great progress.

The promotion of the economy by a unified country is obvious. There are no more tariffs, plus the reduction of commercial taxes, the safety of trade routes, the allocation of resources, the flow of personnel, and the smooth flow of logistics~~all these have promoted the rapid development of the commodity economy.

The rapid economic development also prompted the emergence of paper money, banks and stock markets in the empire for the first time in human history.

Banks can lend money and make payments in other places. Gold, silver, copper, iron, coal and other minerals were mined in large quantities in various places, and the earliest manufacturing and processing factories in world history appeared all over the country.

For example, smelters, shipyards, firearms factories, paper mills, printing factories, weaving factories, porcelain kiln factories, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Navigation, shipbuilding, logistics, medicine, technology, and agricultural technology have reached unprecedented and difficult to match heights in ancient times.

The people of the wealthy empire are undoubtedly extremely happy in terms of health, wealth, education, identity, natural environment and other indicators.

Lush trees and forests can be seen everywhere in the empire, and the streets are wide and clean without a piece of paper scraps or garbage. Pedestrians and vehicles abide by traffic rules (those who dare to violate them will be warned once, fined twice, and pulled to the vegetable market to take off their pants and spanked three times. Chinese people have always liked to watch the excitement. If someone is beaten or beheaded, they will crowd together to watch).

The buildings on both sides of the street are beautiful and tidy. The people walking hurriedly have steady and powerful steps. Most of them are in good health and spirit.

In summer, at least 90% of people wear silk clothes! In winter, many people wear fur!

In daily life, the people live a stable and happy life. There are many festivals and vacations. Tourist attractions are built everywhere in the empire.

This dreamlike achievement shows that the Dawu Empire has reached the peak of the feudal dynasty.

It is the dynasty with the most prosperous economy, the most advanced technology, the most prosperous culture, the most profound art, the richest living standards, the most clear and open politics, and the most stable society in history.

In the absence of sharp class contradictions inside and no rivals outside, such a year can be said to be a prosperous time.

Therefore, as early as ten years ago, the front-page headline of the newspaper published in the "Imperial Daily" was written: The prosperity of the empire has arrived!

...

Hao Shuai and his party stayed in Yangcheng for a while before setting off. The last stop of the southern tour: Hainan Island has arrived!

In fact, there is nothing serious to do in Hainan Island. It is a vacation!

Blue sky, white clouds, sea water, sunshine, beach, what are you waiting for, go swimming!

This beach belongs to Sanya Prefecture, Hainan Island, facing the vast blue South China Sea. It was specially designated by Hao Shuai as a royal holiday place. Female soldiers set up a warning area to protect it, which is specially used for Hao Shuai and his concubines to have fun.

In the early morning, a large group of peerless beauties changed into swimsuits and came out.

Hao Shuai swore that if the gods and immortals in the fairy world saw his wives and concubines in heaven, they would definitely be willing to exchange positions with him, let him go to heaven to be a god, and they would come down to be emperors!

Thirteenth Aunt, Bulma, Lan Caidie, Jianning, Lu Su, Wan Wan, Tsunade and other bold beauties all wore sandal-style swimsuits, while Dongfang Bai, Yi Lin, Xiaolongnu, Lu Zhi, Zhou Zhiruo, Wuqing, Lu Xueqi, Hinata and others wore dense swimsuits, but their snow-white and dazzling jade bones and ice skin, round and slender and flawless beautiful backs were exposed to the air without any hesitation, and even the air became beautiful and blew them desperately.

The beautiful and beautiful faces, the gorgeous light dazzled Hao Shuai's eyes. They are all the darlings of heaven in various worlds, and now they are all mine!

Whenever he thought of this, Hao Shuai felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily, so he sat down!

Dongfang Bai and the others rushed into the sea, playing freely and freely, turning into mermaids, swimming gracefully in the water, and the waves rushed up and down, desperately rubbing their oil.

Maybe~~

This is life...
