The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 214 The Miserable Native

Therefore, once the national independence elements succeed, they will be encircled and suppressed on a larger scale in Europe, further expanding the scale of the war!
The American Empire was just joking to help them bear the pressure from Europe. Yuri only helped the national independence elements because he was so smart...

In this way, a chaotic Central and South America would be unable to prevent the American empire from digesting the fruits of victory and even carrying out the next step of invasion.

In fact, Yuri is still more inclined to win the victory of the national independence elements in the Americas and completely drive the European colonists out of the American continent.

After all, the European colonists, both economically and militarily, were far stronger than the independent governments of the locals.

And now, the American Empire and the national independence elements in Central and South America belong to the same front, and both sides are countries independent from colonial rule.

Of course, the inclination is the inclination, and Yuri will not do the brainless thing that really sells iron to support national independence.

After the national uprising broke out in Guatemala, the Spanish colonial army in Guatemala was naturally unable to defend the Vanguard Corps on the border, and could only rush back to suppress the rebellion.

This undoubtedly gave Yuri enough time to integrate the newly established Mexican province.

The provincial system was also established by the American Empire Cabinet as a permanent provincial department. It no longer only refers to the conquered areas with large land and sparse population, but refers to those conquered rich areas with a large area and a large population!

Each province is as big as several states and has a large population!
Of course, because of the large population, it is troublesome to manage.

Moreover, the Spaniards also left behind a serious problem-the racial hierarchy.

Yuri's body is also a serious white body, so it is naturally impossible to oppose the original system of white nobility.

But he also knew that the Spaniards' hierarchical system was too pitiful, and it was easy to accumulate fierce social conflicts.

And Yuri, unlike the Spaniards, does not have much prejudice against Indians, but is more hostile to blacks.

This is not only a matter of aesthetics, but mainly because of the bad impression of black people left over from the previous life...

After the American Empire turned Mexico into a province, it immediately implemented the Black Slave Castration Act of the American Empire. Fortunately, the number of black slaves in Mexico was not too large, and the suppression of the army did not cause turmoil...

Of course, the most important reason is that the blacks in Mexico are all slaves, so what if the slaves are dissatisfied?

As long as Indians converted to Catholicism and Protestantism, and were willing to register to accept citizenship obligations, they could become civilians of the American Empire.

Become a commoner of the American empire to gain real freedom!
For example, freedom to pay taxes, freedom to pay rent, freedom to earn a living, freedom to work hard for three meals a day...

In short, after becoming a commoner, the quality of life has not improved except for the owner who does not carry a whip on weekdays.

Yuri naturally understands that the so-called equality and freedom are only used to fool people. In this era, if food and shelter are included, how many people are willing to be others' lackeys...

Equality and freedom need to be established on the basis of satisfying the material, even the basic needs of life cannot be met, equality and freedom are useless!

In the end, I can only starve myself to death freely and equally...

The native Indians who had just been freed didn't understand this truth, but Yuri couldn't wait until they were on the verge of starvation before changing.

Therefore, the state-owned large plantations of the American empire were born, the state-owned processing factories were born, the state-owned mining areas were also born, and railway projects that required a lot of labor to die of exhaustion were also launched...

No matter where you work, food and accommodation are included, and you don’t have to belong to the owner 24 hours a day like before. You only need to work 16 hours a day, and the rest of the time is completely yours!

Well, in Yuri's eyes, sleeping eight hours a day is enough!

As for holidays and weekends, the person who makes such a request in this era is either a time traveler or a lunatic!
Look at the factory owners in Europe, even child laborers have been dragged to the production line, and many unscrupulous bosses even lock the workers in one place, except for eating and sleeping time, they have to work every day!
Not even getting six hours of sleep a day...

And those factory owners often have contacts with the bureaucracy, and after the workers die of exhaustion, they will be downplayed. Anyway, the dead are the bottom poor, with no wages, and at most they will be provided with food and housing.

The world has not yet entered the era of electricity, and most of the production requires manual labor, which has a high demand for human resources.

In the eyes of capitalists, workers are just a tool of labor. Due to the lack of protection of labor laws, capitalists will do everything they can to squeeze the surplus value of workers.

In this way, higher profits can be obtained. With higher profits, you can invest in building more factories, expand your own industrial scale, and let yourself enslave more workers to squeeze.

In this way, for the capitalists, a virtuous circular chain of earning wealth is formed, and the only loss is the health and even life of the workers!

The average life expectancy of civilians in this era is only about 30 years old, but it is not only caused by the war, but more of the oppression and exploitation from the upper class.

Therefore, the conditions offered by Yuri are really not low. Naturally, he could not recruit people in his previous life, but for the inferior natives who have just got rid of their slave status, the conditions are quite good.

These people have no education at all, so it is impossible for them to understand what surplus value is. All they need is a place to live and food to fill their stomachs.

In this regard, Yuri is quite humane, and there will be a graded reward system for good performance at work.

From rewarding a few extra hours or even a day or two of vacation, to getting a certain amount of bonuses and even the chance to pick a woman!

In this day and age, women at the bottom can be bought and sold, let alone Indian women!

Even many Indian women will take the initiative to sell themselves, just to live a life with enough food.

Because of this, there will always be undisciplined Indian tribes in the areas ruled by Spain. Knowing that they can't beat them, they have to fight the colonists to the death, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to live a precarious life.

As much wealth as the Spaniards in America gained, the life of the native Indians was as miserable...

The arrival of the American Empire did not change the fate of the natives, it just made their miserable lives a little easier. Even so, there were barriers to entry for civilians who wanted to become part of the American Empire.

Faith, language, and recognition of the empire, these are the thresholds Yuri sets for the newly occupied areas, otherwise they are all foreigners!
