Chapter 701 The correct usage of Japanese labor

The California colony was different from other colonies in the Austrian Empire because its population grew so quickly.

Although the population growth rate in East Africa is not slow, after all, it has been developed by the Dutch and Portuguese colonies for hundreds of years and has a certain population base. Even the arrival of a large number of immigrants from the Austrian Empire will not cause earth-shaking changes.

Secondly, the dumping of Dalits in the Kalaika area was no different from dumping garbage. They were transported together regardless of gender, age or child, and the original social structure did not change much.

So when the Japanese laborers in California started to cause trouble, the bachelor's army led by soldiers beat them inhumanely.

Fifteen thousand Japanese workers died tragically, and their bodies were nailed from the farm to the seaside. Under the legal and religious moral constraints of the Austrian Empire, they could only vent their excess energy and dissatisfaction in this way.

The previous article mentioned that Austria adopted an iron-fist policy in California, a lawless land, and the local governor, Archduke Ferdinand, was also a ruthless commander.

Therefore, the Hispanic aboriginal population has increased from 8,000 households to 8,000, and the Indian population has increased from 150,000 to less than 30,000, including foreign additions and newborns.

There is no way to continue like this, and this time Franz no longer feels that the Japanese are just a group of sheep who can be manipulated at will.

Franz felt that California's cleared farmland should remain in the hands of German immigrants who identified with Austria.

As for the Japanese laborers, just let them open up wasteland. Anyway, there is no shortage of wasteland in California. In addition to California, Nevada also has land worth developing.

However, considering the harsh local environment, rampant bandits, and frequent Indian presences, this kind of life-threatening job was left to Japanese workers.

In addition, mines and factories all need people. Normal workers are 996. If you are Japanese, you can change it to 697, which works fifteen hours a day, all year round.

Of course, Franz would not give up hope. For example, it only takes nine years to become a free man and become a citizen by farming.

It takes eight years to start working in the mines, and only seven years to work in a factory. If you perform meritorious service, the number of years can be reduced, and vice versa.

However, this was generally not used because previous rebellions had left the California government with a very negative view of Japanese labor.

It will take less than ten years to leave Asia and join Europe. As the father of modern education in Japan, Fukuzawa Yukichi knew that he would faint with laughter.

Of course, it’s okay if you can save 3,000 florins from your side job. In addition, it’s okay if you can find a citizen to get married.

Although there was a huge aesthetic gap between the East and the West at this time, Japanese women could still accept it when there were more men than women, and even sheep could not be found.

As for Japanese male workers, it is unlikely that they will have this opportunity. Not to mention the extremely rare number of female citizens in the colonies, the huge difference in status alone makes this seem a bit fanciful.

In addition, whether it is aesthetics, religion, or some cultural concepts, female citizens of California at this time are unlikely to find a Japanese laborer to marry.

In fact, the most fundamental reason should be lack of contact. Whether it is pioneering groups or mines, women are almost never seen, and Austrian factories are separated for men and women.

So starting a side job became the best way to get rid of the labor status. After all, California had just developed and there was no entertainment industry.

Soon Japanese laborers began new attempts. Even some people who still have conscience and integrity will soon give in under the heavy pressure of their parents, brothers, and even husbands.

Given the social status of Japanese women at that time, all this was almost a certainty. In fact, judging from the social morals of some people at the time, they were still making money, but as their economic status plummeted, they still made money.

The self-awareness of these Japanese women began to awaken, and they began to try to break away from their original social relationships. But the traditional concepts of a nation cannot be changed in a day or two, so these people have naturally become targets.

Some gang organizations came into being. They did the kind of despicable activities, while maintaining the original order and concepts, and taking action to eliminate those who broke the rules when necessary.

But soon it was discovered that California citizenship was a protection for them, and a new weapon was born: the law.

Those traditions and families among the Japanese laborers were not worth mentioning before the laws of the Austrian Empire.

The so-called gangs were even more of a joke in front of the army, and soon the last backbone of Japanese workers was broken. Even the gangs that originally united Japanese immigrants turned into tools for the Austrians to maintain their rule.

Those gang members stepped on the corpses of their own compatriots to gain the qualification to be dogs, and their loyalty was simply outrageous.

There is a reason why Japan's custom industry has been so successful in later generations, and soon Japanese custom streets were blooming all over California.

However, in the 19th century, there were only a few people who could marry across nationalities and skin colors. Although a large number of Japanese women got rid of the shackles of feudalism, family and tradition, it was difficult for them to raise their children.

Except for a few, most chose to abandon their babies. Fortunately, the church has already informed these people in advance, and the nursery will take on the responsibility of raising them.

Raised by the church and instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from an early age, these mixed-race abandoned children will be completely brainwashed into the most useful tools under the double poison.

Franz will make good use of them, after all, life is precious. In fact, the people who can be used as Franz's chess pieces are the most outstanding ones and can prove themselves. Most of them are just used as fuel to train.

As for those Japanese women, it is difficult to live a lifetime of work. Unless they can integrate into the local society, their ending will not be good.

With the increase in the number of Japanese style street stores and practitioners, the California colony finally ushered in a brief period of harmony.

In fact, although the shogunate and the various feudal lords at that time would provide suitable-age and healthy laborers as they promised, women's physical strength was worse in the inherent agricultural social concept, so they were relatively cheap.

The shogunate and the vassal governments are very active in this regard, and they will choose to shoddy goods.

In addition, for Japan, which has a population of more than 30 million, fifty thousand or even half a million cannot affect their demographic structure.

Although Japanese agriculture developed at that time, the harsh environment, coupled with unscientific planting methods and backward technology, resulted in a seed yield ratio of only 1:31:4.

This data is even lower than before the Industrial Revolution in Europe, which is why they are so eager for land on land.

Although Franz's approach was a bit cruel, it ensured the main ethnic structure of the region.

In fact, it laid the foundation for future stable development. It is better to sacrifice Japanese workers than to sacrifice the small number of Germans in Austria.

In fact, Franz is not that fond of the main ethnic group, but a group of Asian faces in a Western country is always a bit inconsistent...
