Chapter 867 The world's first In fact, the Ming government is not meticulous about immigration, it is all inclusive, and the overseas territories are not all paradises, and if they want to live a good life, immigrants also need their own efforts.However, the problem is that the achievements of the Ming Dynasty in industry are beyond doubt, and every time the immigrants settle a settlement, they have actually surveyed the local environment with the steps of the colonization and reclamation group in advance, and this investigation includes, topography, vegetation, animals, plants, river precipitation and many other conditions.The source composition of the Reclamation and Reclamation Pioneer Group is much more complicated, with local guides, retired soldiers in the army, experts proficient in field survival and surveying and mapping, and technical personnel from the Land and Resources Bureau.The town used to be a town, and the first immigrants to arrive in the town would have temporary prefabricated houses to live in, and basic living facilities, such as wells, food, stoves, pots, and pans, were not lacking.The government only creates a suitable space for new immigrants, and the specific choice is mainly the efforts of the new immigrants themselves.is still the same sentence, Quan Xu is not an omnipotent God, and he has no way to deal with people who are willing to hold outdated ideas in the Ming Dynasty and are unwilling to leave their hometown even if they die.For people who voluntarily emigrated overseas, the treatment was much better than that of prisoners in re-education through labor, and each family would be given land ranging from 150 to 5,000 acres.At present, there are a lot of overseas territories or newly developed territories in the Ming Dynasty, each piece of land, the climate is different, the environment is different, in general, the higher the dimension, the cold climate, the arid weather in the northern region, the amount of land allocated will be more, the more rain, the more fertile the land, the less land will be allocated.For example, if you want to re-emigrate to Luzon, the land per capita is only 150 acres, considering the actual situation in Luzon Province, 150 land is just to make a living, and if you want to live a better life, you still have to work hard to expand the farm, work hard, and buy livestock, so as to barely maintain the operation of a farm.For those people who are unwilling to go to North Africa or South America, if they are willing to stay in Daming, of course, they can also make a living, after all, there are many workers in Daming, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to find a job in Daming, but it is very difficult to have greater development.At least in the long run, staying in Daming is far less promising than voluntarily going to overseas territories, after all, with the economic development of Daming, prices, especially the cost of living, are getting higher and higher, and some low-tech jobs are being replaced by machines step by step.Like cement plants, where labor was originally needed, most of them have been replaced with machinery, and the cement factories with three or five thousand people have disappeared, and most of the cement factories have hundreds of workers, even if they are large factories with thousands of people, the production capacity has increased dozens of times.As the governor of North Africa in the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou was also very worried: "In the last month, we emigrated more than two million people in the Governor's Mansion of North Africa, of which 80 percent of the population are concentrated in the Nile Delta, followed by concentrated around Suzhou Prefecture, including Suzhou City and Suzhou Port, there are less than 150,000 people, and the rest of the people are scattered along the Red Sea coast. ”In these years, there is a shortage of people in the new territories of the world, North Africa, Nanyang, Indochina Peninsula, and Xinhua Province in South America are also short of people.Zhang Xianzhong smiled bitterly: "Now I heard that the domestic construction is very good, not only the Central Plains, Jiangnan, but even Yan'an, which is also developing well!"
”North Africa and the Ming mainland rely on a strong fleet, to maintain traffic exchanges, as the speed of the transport ship is constantly increasing, the route has become mature, now from Suzhou to the Ming mainland, only four months, within a year, can definitely go back and forth.Thanks to the basic education of the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more literate people, and the exchange of letters is becoming more and more convenient.Zhang Xianzhong's old department in North Africa, many people can communicate with relatives and villagers, and learn about the development of Yan'an Mansion, which is also a strange thing, since Quan Xu became the emperor, the original endless drought, snow disaster, and locust plague have disappeared mysteriously.In fact, it is not considered to disappear, because Quanxu attaches great importance to agriculture, vigorously develops irrigation systems, and prevents and controls pests and diseases, and the people have raised a large number of chickens and ducks, and the locusts have not had time to overflow, and they are eaten by flocks of chickens and ducks.Hong Chengchou expressed his understanding that he can live in his hometown, who wants to leave his hometown?
There is no point in annexing land in the Ming Dynasty, because the income from land is far less profitable than opening a factory, although the imperial court has cracked down on land annexation quite severely, but it is not that there are no loopholes to exploit, for example, to divide the sons in name, in fact, they can also obtain a large amount of land.Each son marries a wife and takes a concubine, as long as he has money, he accepts ten or twenty concubines, which does not hinder the distribution of land."
Don't think about immigrating from the country, as long as you don't break out ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong smiled faintly and stopped.Of course, at this time, Hong Chengchou also understood.If no one dies and makes waves at home, it is impossible for Quan Xu to migrate people overseas on a large scale, unless the gentry rebel, so that tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people can be forcibly relocated overseas.This is simple to say, in fact, it is almost impossible to operate, don't look at the Ming Dynasty There are not many garrisons in the Jiangnan region now, and the largest unit of the garrison is the regiment, and it is not a full regiment.Eight prefectures in Henan Province are stationed in Lushun, nine prefectures in Shanxi are also garrison brigades, and six prefectures in Shandong are also brigades.If the gentry dare to rebel, they don't need to send out garrisons, just the militia can solve them, and the current people can fully agree with the rule of the whole clan, as long as the gentry complains, someone will immediately complain, let alone this kind of rebellion?
Hong Chengchou is also very helpless, the world is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.One thing that must be noted is that in recent years, because of the large-scale migration of the Ming Dynasty, the number of street children in the big cities of the Ming Dynasty has decreased significantly.In other countries, the demand for adult labor is far greater than the demand for women and children.This is not the case in Daming, under normal circumstances, if child labor is found in Daming, the boss who hires it will be fined, and the penalty is very heavy, basically multiplied by 10,000 for one child labor.Although women workers are permitted, they are protected by legislation, for example, women are not allowed to perform heavy work during their menstrual periods, are given at least three to five days of leave per month, and have the right to take care of their children while breastfeeding.In fact, unless there is no one available, the boss of Daming is not willing to use women at all, which is also a matter of no choice, in fact, compared to adult labor, women and children are more accessible, and if such a protection policy is not adopted, it is easy to form a humanitarian disaster.For a long time, overseas migrant ships brought women and children, which once made Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng like a fight.But for Hong Chengchou, the situation is very good.In fact, Hong Chengchou does not pay much attention to the adult labor force, if it is purely for the labor force, North Africa has a better choice, and the work ability of those adult Africans is actually not much worse than that of the adult Chinese labor force.At this time, it was not the afterlife, but no black people were right, and the local adult labor force in Africa cost almost nothing, so there was a huge difference.However, for families who don't mind the combination of Chinese and Western, Quan Xu's singles are very tough and can't win the favor of Ming women, so they would rather be single than give their ideas to the locals.This is not the same in South America, the Indians are almost the same as the Ming people in terms of skin color, if you don't consider the language problem, a little dress, you can't tell from the appearance at all, many Xinhua immigrants hit the idea of the women of the Indian tribe.Not to mention, there are really many Indian women who are willing to form a family with the Ming people, and even age is not a problem, compared with the impoverished Indians, at least the Ming people who can stay in Xinhua Province have more or less savings, which is not easy in this era.The businessman's sense of smell is very keen, as the cost of marriage in the Ming Dynasty is getting higher and higher, some businessmen began to open language training courses in Xinhua Province in South America, and the teachers of these training courses are the old bustards of the Qinglou who can't survive on the Qinhuai River, or are engaged in personnel.They went to Xinhua Province to train girls bought from Indian tribes, learn Han etiquette, learn Chinese language, learn to use chopsticks, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and after simple training, these girls will be sold to singles as wives at high prices.The scale of this business became bigger and bigger, and it wasn't until the Royal Navy seized a large ship full of more than 400 Indian women in Dengzhou that Quan Xu knew that there was such a thing.For the population matter, Quan Xu is not in a hurry, objectively speaking, the population of Daming has an absolutely huge population base, with the support of the policy of encouraging childbirth, Daming wants to become the world's first population, it is not difficult.
