Great time travel

Chapter 92, Great Immigrants

The Republic of China, capital city Manchester (Manhattan Island, New York)
Next to Capitol Square, on the roof terrace of a four-story building, Wang Qiu is holding a pair of tiny binoculars, overlooking the crowded square.At this time, the customs officers of the Huamei Republic have already set up a tent here, preparing to review the new immigrants, so as to arrange their next distribution. Except for a few skilled craftsmen, they are usually arranged to reclaim wasteland.Hundreds of refugees from the Ming Dynasty who arrived here through the [Random Gate] had anxious and nervous expressions on their faces, waiting for the selection ahead, just like goods on the assembly line.

According to the provisional regulations issued by the Chinese League, these new immigrants will be forced to sign a ten-year labor contract after arriving in America, Africa, Vladivostok and other places. In order to offset the cost of the government arranging their immigration settlement.If someone refused to obey the distribution, he would be thrown into prison. Although this practice was suspected of using slave labor, it was indeed the beginning of a beautiful new life for those starving refugees in the Ming Dynasty who were struggling on the verge of death.

——In the fertile land of America, they will have everything they have longed for for generations: fields, pastures, livestock, houses... even women!

"... Congress has passed a resolution to imitate Lincoln's "Homestead Act", to allocate 150 to [-] acres of land to each new immigrant in the undeveloped areas of the interior, and at the same time, in the form of interest-free loans, the state will give They provide farm tools, cattle, and rations for the initial stage of land reclamation—as long as they can pay off their debts within a certain number of years, or rely on military service to obtain preferential treatment from military families, the allocated land will always belong to them. Within five years, exempt all agricultural and poll taxes for new immigrants, and let them take root at all costs.”

The supreme leader of the Huamei Republic, Prime Minister Qi Jianjun (Huami’s political system is similar to modern India, and the president is only the most senior mascot) was wearing a neat white shirt and a neat tuxedo suit, and introduced Wang Qiu with a smile on his face, “… ...Of course, this is a policy in the inland and remote areas with inconvenient transportation, mainly to occupy the territory and prevent it from being snatched away by European colonists in advance. In the relatively developed eastern coastal states, we prefer to let immigrants enter the state-run large-scale Be an agricultural worker on a farm—Nowadays, the 30-year war in Europe is fighting to the death, and the price of food is skyrocketing. The food we export to Europe every year is in short supply, and there is an urgent need to invest more labor to increase crop production. Naturally, there is no such thing as these agricultural workers The land can be distributed. However, there are still benefits such as house distribution, and they are free gifts! In addition, we have also purchased a large number of white female slaves from Cairo, Crimea and Basra through the Jewish Chamber of Commerce, and are preparing to ration immigrants who perform well. When a wife..."

"...It sounds good, but if you do this, the cost may not be small! Can your government's finances afford it?"

Wang Qiu nodded slightly, and asked with a frown, "...it's best not to expect more subsidies from the central government, Zhongnanhai is not a philanthropist..."

"...Don't worry, now we can get so many immigrants from Shandong without spending money, and we don't have to go through the exploitation of those black-hearted human traffickers in Portugal. The money saved from here alone is enough to wipe out the resettlement costs of the new immigrants gone."

Prime Minister Qi Jianjun said with a smile - in the past ten years, the governments of the Huamei Republic and the East Coast Republic in the Americas had to pay an average of 400 taels of silver to obtain a Ming Dynasty immigrant through the channel of the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in Macau, and usually every year Only a maximum of 2000 people can be imported.

To make matters worse, there are often a lot of Japanese and Vietnamese mixed in, but the East Coast Republic and the Huamei Republic have to hold their noses and accept it-no matter what, they are also yellow races, at least they are better than a large number of imported people. European white immigrants or black slaves are more reassuring.

But even so, the Huamei Republic has always been troubled by the lack of its own population, especially the low proportion of the core population. Most of the fertile wilderness from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes is still barren.The proportion of white European immigrants in the Chinese American Republic has also increased over time. Even if several large Indian tribes were absorbed from the early days of the founding of the country, and citizenship was granted to these aborigines, it was still difficult to maintain the absolute advantage of the number of yellow races. ...When Dengzhou Town looked at the hundreds of refugees from the Central Plains who poured into the territory every day, and worried that they would be eaten up, the Huamei Republic, which was responsible for receiving and resettling these refugees, was very happy, and only worried about getting rid of them from the Central Plains. Not enough people came.

"...a batch of people are sent every week, and each batch of immigrants is about [-]... Tsk tsk, this number seems to be a little less!"

Seeing that this group of new immigrants from the Ming Dynasty had been arranged by the relevant departments one after another, divided into several long teams, and escorted by army soldiers to various villages or mining sites, Qi Jianjun smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "...can we add some more points?" Give us the number of immigrants? Anyway, there should be a lot of refugees in the Central Plains! We not only have land here, but also food is not a problem-as long as the export of food to Europe is stopped, and then use modern time and space. Synthetic ammonia fertilizers, Huamei Republic can feed an additional one million people this year without any pressure..."

"...This is already the limit! You are not the only place that needs population! And the military pressure on your side is the least."

Wang Qiu scratched his hair and sighed, "...The East Coast Republic is surrounded by the Portuguese and Spanish spheres of influence, and two tragic wars have already broken out with the Spanish, and various small conflicts and proxy wars are even more serious every day. It has never stopped. The Far East Company in Vladivostok is planning to launch a full-scale attack on Liaodong to destroy Huang Taiji’s lair, which also requires a lot of labor and recruits. The Lingao Group in Hainan Island also has a large area of ​​wasteland waiting to be developed. There are steel mills and textile factories that need tens of thousands of workers. South Africa and Madagascar, with a combined population of less than three thousand, are already facing challenges from the Dutch and British on that land, and there are Native African revolt...

Finally, the capital city of the alliance in Perth, Australia has not yet been built, and it is not planned to introduce too many indigenous immigrants in this time and space for the time being.But after the completion of the new city, thousands of laborers will also be needed to develop the wild Australian continent.

In order to recruit labor for so many places at the same time, the Dengzhou Army on the Shandong battlefield has completely stopped its military operations. From the army to the civil affairs departments, they have focused their work on sheltering and training refugees—the entire Central Plains right now, indeed. Tens of millions of farmers are slowly starving to death or attacking each other, but there may not be one in a hundred who can survive all kinds of difficulties and obstacles along the way and come to Dengzhou alive..."

Speaking of this, looking down at the Shandong immigrants who were walking in groups on the street and looking around curiously, Wang Qiu couldn't help feeling a little bit sad - when they were in the Central Plains, their lives were as low as pigs and dogs. I wish they would starve to death soon; but in the overseas country established by the traversers, they are "precious items" worth 400 taels of silver each, which is more than a hundred times the price of the population of the Central Plains... According to the arrangement of the Huamei Republic, they are very It will soon enter various farms, factories and mines to contribute to the vigorous development of this "Chosen Country".Or join the border garrison, compete with the Iroquois and French colonists in the north for the fertile land around the Great Lakes, and expand the space of Chinese civilization...

——For the Huamei Republic, the East Coast Republic, and even the entire Huameng, as long as there is a population, it is equivalent to having everything.

Hey, it is exactly the old saying: there is no garbage in this world, only misplaced resources.These people were stranded in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, where disasters and famines were frequent during the Little Ice Age. They could only starve to death miserably, freeze to death, or kill each other meaninglessly.But if they immigrate to the undeveloped Americas, they can open up the wilderness, create civilization, recreate China overseas, and write a legendary epic of conquering the world!

At present, the traverser forces under the Huameng are generally developing rapidly, and there is an urgent need for population everywhere.But the Chinese tradition is that "the homeland is hard to leave". If it is not really desperate, few people are usually willing to move to other places.Fortunately, China is now in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty where the people are struggling to survive. The natural disasters that have spread year after year and the corrupt and incompetent Ming court have created millions of refugees in the mainland of the empire. When a person breaks through the hurdle in his heart, After becoming a real refugee, they usually only look forward to a safe place to stay, and don't mind being away from their homeland anymore.

"...By the way, is the food allocated to Shandong ready? The only thing that is short of you is the aid that hasn't been given yet." Wang Qiu suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Prime Minister Qi Jianjun, "... Liu Minyou in Dengzhou Town is the chief manager, but he complains all day long, worrying about the lack of food!"

——After a large number of [random doors] that can be connected in real time around the world, compared to asking Doraemon to borrow pockets for cross-plane material transportation every time, on the contrary, it is between the various countries of the China League. It is easier to allocate materials... Therefore, most of the food, clothing, tents, etc. needed to recruit refugees in Dengzhou Town are raised from North and South America, Vladivostok, Hainan Island, and Taiwan.

Today, the soldiers and civilians in Dengzhou are eating corn and salted fish from North America, wearing cotton cloth from South America, lighting whale blubber candles from the Antarctic, holding sickles forged from Australian iron ore, leading African cattle to plow the land, and sowing seeds from The seeds of the 21st century (the modern world) and the 22nd century (Doraemon world)... the mix and match style is really full of the world empire style, which makes people feel speechless.

"...The first batch of [-] tons of corn has been prepared, and now it can be transported to the battleship over there through the [random door]."

Prime Minister Qi Jianjun pointed to the square below and replied casually——After the group of immigrants hoarded on Liugong Island was transported, the [Random Gate] in the Capitol was dismantled, and now it is escorted by an army with live ammunition , transported to the national grain depot in Manchester, "...in addition, there are 120 tons of corned beef, [-] tons of salted fish, and [-] tons of wheat... In short, there is absolutely no need to worry about starvation in Shandong.

In fact, if General Chen from Shandong is willing to agree, we can set aside land in Virginia or Massachusetts at any time, and let them relocate all the 60 million people in Dengzhou Town, and let General Chen continue to serve as the governor here. , um, it’s okay to also serve as the vice president..."

"...Hehe, I'm afraid this suggestion is not feasible. Neither Chen Xin nor Huangshi will be willing to give up the Tunpu system on the Shandong Peninsula."

Wang Qiu shook his head, "...Instead of targeting our own people like this, it is better to try to open up sources of income—Huangshi is currently planning a mainland strategy in order to establish more shelters for refugees in the north of the Ming Dynasty, which can greatly speed up the flow of refugees. The scale and speed of collection. If your country can provide more swords, gunpowder, and cannons to the East Asian theater, or simply send troops to assist, you will definitely get rich rewards in the future..."

Generally speaking, the current Global Chinese Travelers Alliance is a militaristic regime with a strong fascist atmosphere.Each of the franchise countries has absorbed the advantages of traditional fascist countries to varying degrees, such as a social atmosphere that advocates force, a high proportion of state-owned economies, and strong cohesion obtained through repeated brainwashing, etc.; but they do not have the disadvantages of traditional fascist countries. For example, the lack of local resources and the personality cult of leaders, etc. During World War II, Germany, Italy, and Japan all had huge and sharp social conflicts in their domestic societies because of their small territories and insufficient resources. will embark on the road of external expansion.And this is often one of the culprits of a fascist state.

But the situation of the East Coast, Huamei, Hainan Island, Australia, and Vladivostok Far East Company is completely different, and it can even be said to be very strange—they own a large area of ​​land to be developed (even if the Lingao Group ruled Hainan Island from the mainland of Daming , in fact, the land is vast and sparsely populated), and the amount of resources per capita is frighteningly high, comparable to that of modern Russia. There are not too serious social conflicts in the country, and the main threat is foreign enemies.The fascist armies of Germany, Italy, and Japan seized land everywhere, and in serious cases, they even cleaned up the aborigines, engaged in the Sanguang policy and genocide.At present, the primary war goal of the Huameng is to gain population, robbing, arresting, and buying people from the Ming Dynasty and other places...but they have no interest in the land of the Central Plains.

——A series of indicators to measure comprehensive national strength, such as science and technology, politics, military affairs, resources, land, industry and agriculture, etc., are fully dominant on this time-space earth, and currently the only problem that seriously hinders the great cause of the Chinese traverser alliance from conquering the world , leaving only underpopulation.

Obviously, if any territory does not have enough population to enrich, it is impossible to maintain a consolidated rule.And any dominant nation, if it cannot maintain its population advantage in its territory, then its rule will not be stable-this is why the Huamei Republic and the East Coast Republic would rather endure the brutal slaughter of Portuguese traffickers before, but also from Macau. The sake of importing Ming Dynasty immigrants.

For the same reason, they did not hesitate to launch a war at this time to import more labor force into the vast and desolate America.

"...Actually, if you agree to set up the decontamination camps on the American side, and directly send the recruited refugees here. Instead of insisting that the new immigrants are allowed to enter the country after they have completed the decontamination and quarantine in Shandong, I would like to transport the population The speed should be a little faster..."

Wang Qiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly made a rationalization suggestion to Prime Minister Qi Jianjun, "...the East Coast Republic in South America did just that, omitting the link of the Liugong Island purification camp. 5000 people were transported to South America..."

Unexpectedly, Qi Jianjun shook his head again and again, "...No! Absolutely not! The purification process must not be relaxed! Once the refugees from the Ming Dynasty who have not been quarantined enter the country on a large scale, the whites and Chinese on our side may still be able to bear it. I'm afraid that a great plague is bound to erupt..."
