Chapter 1205: Inviting the Wolf into the House

At the time Xie Fang thought of this Method.

In reality, there were many people in the Australia administrative center who opposed it.

After all, the officials under Xie Fang had no understanding of these black slaves.

Australia is actually already chaotic enough as it is...

People of all skin colors are gathered on this continent of Australia.

That's right, Australia has indeed shown a state of prosperity, but within this prosperity, there are also various power struggles, and even direct violent confrontations.

Under these circumstances...

If another skin color were to come, another religious belief, and people who would have conflicts in every aspect, would it not lead to some kind of large-scale friction?

This, they had considered.

But Xie Fang was still a bit too eager for quick success and instant benefits.

To put it bluntly.

He wanted to develop Australia early; although he was no longer the playboy crown prince of the past, he still did not want to be constantly suppressed by Liu Zheng.

He felt that he had already learned many things from Liu Zheng!

He was determined in his heart to surpass Liu Zheng; Australia should be his place of origin!

Therefore.

Under the indoctrination of those slave owners, he signed the contract with them without any hesitation.

This day.

The day he was to receive these slaves finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Xie Fang waited excitedly at the pier and port.

"They're here, they're here!"

"Look quickly!"

Three ships fully loaded with two thousand slaves sailed into Daxi Port.

Although Xie Fang's attendants had expressed their opposition, since the matter had already been decided, they still had great curiosity about these black slaves.

This was the first batch of slaves Xie Fang had purchased, but his purpose in buying these slaves was different from that of the slave owners in America.

The slave owners in America purchased these slaves to make them perform labor such as mining, planting, and picking, using them entirely as slaves.

Whereas Xie Fang, having bought them back, intended to use them as commoners.

He wanted these slaves to develop the undeveloped land.

Xie Fang had thought it out well: these people were once slaves, and it was he who gave them their status of freedom; not only did he give them freedom, he would also give them seeds and young livestock!

They would have strong enthusiasm for production!

The more capable they were, the better the face of Australia would become!

"Mr. Xie, our cooperation is so fast! It seems God is blessing our great Australia, hahaha, on this journey, only thirty-something black slaves died!"

Several slave owners walked over, fawning.

In their words, they did not take the lives of these people to heart at all...

Thirty-something...

To them, it really was not too many.

Xie Fang also laughed heartily, his mood still uncontrollably excited.

"Thank you all for your hard work! In a while, I must host a grand banquet for you!"

Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, the black slaves began to disembark one after another under the escort of the guards.

At a glance, it was a pitch-black mass, which gave everyone a fright.

"Good heavens, are they this black!"

This was also Xie Fang's first contact with these Africans; he had originally thought they would look about the same as the indigenous people on Zhuawa Island, but when Xie Fang saw their true appearance, his eyes nearly popped out.

This was just too black!

Compared to them, his own wife "Black Pearl" could be described as pure and flawless.

Although it looked a little uncomfortable, Xie Fang was not someone who practiced racial discrimination; having lived with the Zhuawa indigenous people for so long, his acceptance of new races was still quite strong, as long as

these people were willing to take root and sprout in Australia and properly develop and build Australia, Xie Fang was also willing to give them Australian citizenship.

A total of six thousand slaves, for which Xie Fang spent two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Averaged out, the value of each slave was over thirty taels.

Although the money was not a small amount, Xie Fang believed that on this land of Australia, which was rich enough to flow with oil, they would soon be able to create several times that value!

"Good, good, good!"

The physical fitness of the black slaves was naturally beyond reproach; although they were not getting enough to eat now, it could still be seen that they had an advantage over the physical fitness of Asians.

"First of all, welcome to everyone's arrival..."

"The arrival of you all will be our Australia..."

After accepting these black slaves, Xie Fang began his impassioned speech.

Talking about striving for a happy tomorrow, becoming wealthy people who bid farewell to their past lives of poverty...

Xie Fang spoke well, and even the people he brought were moved by Xie Fang.

Those few slave owners, however, looked at each other in dismay.

What the hell?

This master of Australia wanted to give these black slaves freedom?

Was he crazy?

He must be quite mad, right?

What they did not know was...

This move by Xie Fang was entirely an imitation of the measures Liu Zheng took back when he was developing Yinzhou...

At that time, Liu Zheng had bought many slaves.

Naturally, among them were many Kunlun Slaves.

It was just that what Xie Fang did not know was that those slaves Liu Zheng had bought back then, especially those Kunlun Slaves, actually mostly came from Nanyang, which is to say Southeast Asia! They were not products of Africa! The diligence and servility of Kunlun Slaves were truly beyond reproach. Furthermore, as for their skills, the biggest reason they became Kunlun Slaves was simply because they could not get enough to eat...

If they could not get enough to eat, they were willing to be slaves, just to survive.

But these black slaves were different...

These black slaves had been forced to become slaves by others after being colonized.

Therefore, Xie Fang's words did not move these black people much.

On one hand, it was a problem of translation; when translating Xie Fang's words, that tone was missing. On top of that, after these black people boarded the ship, they already knew of their own tragic future. They were a group of "people who lie flat," full of disappointment toward the future. In their eyes, Xie Fang was merely painting a big picture for them, and they simply did not take it to heart.

This attitude surprised Xie Fang, but he did not give up hope. Once these black people truly saw the seeds and land that belonged to them, they should understand his painstaking efforts and live diligently.

The speech concluded.

Xie Fang arranged for these black slaves to be settled.

It was a grand, mighty procession.

He believed that the great construction of Australia would begin from this moment.

Xie Fang had poured a great deal of energy into these black people, but these black people did not live up to Xie Fang's expectations.

When these black people arrived at the land that needed them to develop it, they did not choose to cultivate or graze, but instead ate the seeds and livestock cubs distributed to them by the Australian Government.

Out of a full six thousand people, fewer than five hundred were working properly; the rest were all idling about.

Not only were they lazy and unmotivated themselves, but they were also influencing those who were working actively.

When their food ran out, they began to steal the fruits of labor from those who were working, which led to the hardworking black people also ending up with nothing.

Only a month had passed, and the six thousand black slaves just introduced had completely lost their livelihood.

Without a livelihood, yet needing to survive, this group of people began to steal and rob.

The originally peaceful Australia suddenly became chaotic.

Some black people would organize to commit theft, and theft was only the most low-level

of public security cases.

Theft, robbery, murder, arson, rape...

Areas where black people existed became increasingly chaotic, and some places in Australia that had been established with great difficulty became no-man's-lands again to avoid the "Black Disaster."

At first, Xie Fang still held onto a fluke mentality, feeling that these were just isolated cases. But later, as public security cases occurred frequently and the local law enforcers mostly caught the previously introduced black people, Xie Fang realized at this moment that he had invited a wolf into the house.

"Truly a bunch of mud that cannot be plastered onto a wall; they deserve to be slaves!"

In the General's Mansion, Xie Fang cursed loudly.

He truly could not imagine that this group of people had rotted to such an extent!

A group of scoundrels so rotten they could even eat the seeds do not deserve to enjoy a happy life!

At this moment, Xie Fang had completely abandoned the idea of introducing African black people and decided to develop steadily step by step instead.

However, it was already a bit late by this time.

The black people not only affected the ordinary people living here, but they also caused damage to the industries of some wealthy people. Originally, some wealthy people valued Australia's harmony and stability, but with these troublemakers present, some onlookers and those intending to invest began to back out.

Although Australia's economic development could not be said to have stagnated because of this, the growth rate was indeed significantly reduced.

At this, Xie Fang finally panicked. He also realized that his own ability was limited and he could only do the initial layout; the subsequent refined development still required the help of capable people.

He had to go and seek help from Qingyang Shuo.

At this moment, Qingyang Shuo was also considering the issue of further development in Australia.

During this period, he had traveled to many regions of Australia. He discovered that although Australia had a vast plain, the soil had high salinity and alkalinity, which was not very suitable for developing planting, but more suitable for animal husbandry. In this way, it not only ensured that this vast land was not wasted but also solved the awkward situation of Australia having too few people to carry out effective development.

However, this also required many herdsmen. Most people in Australia were influenced by agricultural civilization and maritime civilization; those who grazed were truly few and far between.

Just as Qingyang Shuo was thinking of a Method, Xie Fang ran in.

"Sir, I have encountered trouble, and I ask for your assistance, Sir." Xie Fang said with a self-deprecating expression.

"Viscount Xie, there is no need to be anxious. Tell me slowly whatever the matter is."

Qingyang Shuo said.

"Sir, in order to introduce population, I purchased a large batch of black slaves from Britain merchants. I originally thought of giving them their freedom and letting them have the passion to develop Australia, but I did not expect this bunch of fellows to be extremely lazy! They actually ate the seeds and livestock cubs I provided them! After eating all of these, they began to turn to theft and banditry, seriously affecting the public security of this area. Those coming to Australia to invest and build are constantly decreasing. Sir, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyang Shuo smiled and said: "It is very simple, one word: kill." Recently, pop-ups are severe; you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
