In the next five years, Xinghai Kingdom will move 500,000 immigrants to the Hon Hai area, and at the same time provide 3,000 fuel engineering machinery to dig the first canal connecting the Imperial China Sea.
This is a huge engineering project.
In addition to spreading colonies throughout the region, a large number of engineering and technical personnel are also required.
After all, in the current Xinghai Kingdom, naturalized citizens who can use fuel-fired engineering machinery can be considered technical talents.
In addition, Xinghai Kingdom will also attract a large number of immigrants from the territories occupied by Nanming, Zheng Jiajun, and the Qing Dynasty to fill the gaps in Lusong, Tianzhu Nixiya, Malenisia, Tuao and other places.
To this end, Xinghai State has specially revised the immigration regulations and refined the land grant policy in immigration areas.
For example, in the Tu'ao area where the environment is relatively dry and there are many poisonous insects, from the date of landing, adults will receive ownership of one hundred acres of land, and minors will receive ownership of twenty acres of land. The remaining land will be reissued when they reach adulthood.
The next eighty acres.
In addition, immigrants can also purchase land of less than 200 acres at a preferential price.
I have to say that when this policy was published in Xinghai Daily, Nanming Express and other newspapers and media, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
Many people in Nanming who were illiterate asked people to do the math for them.
"A person has one hundred acres of land. In my family, there are the eldest son, the second son, the third son, and the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, plus nine grandchildren and five granddaughters. How many people are there in total? Mr.
.”
An old farmer with a white beard squatted in front of the village private school teacher and asked. Behind him, there was a long line of people, all tenant farmers in the village, looking at this side eagerly.
The private school teacher, who was wearing a shabby scholar's uniform, twirled his gray beard and said: "20 people can share a total of 880 acres of land. Okay, next one."
If it weren't for the more than ten eggs, Mr. Private School would not have the leisure to answer their questions here, and he would have gone to the county to sign up for immigration early.
“How much is 880 acres of land?”
For the huge figure of 880 acres of land, the old farmer with a white beard has no idea at all.
No way, for him, when the number goes up to ten fingers, he is a little unclear.
“The 880 acres of land is almost the same as the land owned by Huang Landlord. Okay, don’t bother others asking questions.”
Mr. Private School was a little impatient, but he still gave him an analogy.
It’s almost the same as the land owned by Huang Landlord!?
Suddenly, the tenants queuing up were in an uproar. Several people even stopped queuing and turned around and ran towards the village, for fear that they would be late to the county seat and would not be able to register.
It must be said that the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty provided a great help in this huge immigration activity.
Emperor Zhaowu even asked the Ministry of Personnel to include the matter within the scope of external inspection.
As long as local officials do not cooperate well with the Xinghai Kingdom in immigration work, they will be rated as inferior in the field inspection evaluation.
Why?
The reason is very simple. Xinghai Kingdom directly subsidized the immigrants this time.
As long as Nanming relocates one immigrant, Xinghai Kingdom will give Nanming an immigration subsidy of 20 yuan.
This means that if Nanming can relocate 10,000 people, it can get an immigration subsidy of 200,000 yuan, and if it can relocate 100,000 people, it can get an immigration subsidy of 2 million yuan.
Tsk tsk tsk!
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Nanming, who is planning a large number of new armies and fighting wars to the point where its finances are about to collapse!
It is said that when Emperor Zhaowu was sleeping, the queen and his wife heard the dream talk about trying to relocate one million people.
There is no doubt that for Nanming’s senior management, this is undoubtedly a good thing to squat down and pick up money.
However, for Xinghai Kingdom, money is not a problem. Considering Xinghai Kingdom’s existing industrial and agricultural productivity, a 20 million immigration subsidy is a small matter.
However, it is unrealistic to rely solely on Nan Ming for immigration work.
After all, most of the original old territories of Nanming have been colonized by immigrants from the Xinghai Kingdom.
Therefore, the focus of Nanming’s immigration work is Hunan, and the limit of being able to immigrate one million people is already high.
As for Nanming itself, the newly acquired Ishikawa was once killed by Zhang Xianzhong and then by the Qing army. It can be said that there is no one in ten miles.
Nanming also needs to immigrate to Ishikawa.
Hence, the entire immigration of Xinghai Kingdom was focused on the territory of the Qing court.
Now the Qing court wants temporary peace and wants to buy sharp firearms?
Sure, use population in exchange!
After several exchanges, arguments and even sword fights between the two sides, a series of agreements were finally reached.
The Qing court allowed Xinghai Kingdom to send people to carry out immigration work and ensure the absolute safety of the immigration working group. To this end, the Qing court could receive 5 yuan of arms quota for each immigrant population, which could be used to purchase arms provided by Xinghai Kingdom.
In addition, the Qing court could use gold and silver to purchase various commodities provided by Xinghai Kingdom.
At the same time, all immigration costs will be borne by Xinghai Kingdom itself, etc.
Well, it can be seen from the above agreement that the Xinghai Kingdom’s arms supply to the Qing court is limited, and arms must be purchased using the arms quota exchanged by the immigrant population.
Gold and silver can only buy other commodities.
Well, when Hauge left Xinghai City and returned to the capital, since the immigration work had not yet started, the arms business could not be completed, but the royal boat he took was already filled with various commodities.
No way, after living in Xinghai City for more than a month, Hauge has already fallen in love with this kind of modern life.
He bought a lot of daily necessities such as toilets, radios, soaps, silver mirrors, etc., and planned to transport them back to the capital to renovate his palace.
When he returned to the capital, he renovated the palace, invited princes, princes, Baylor and many other royal families to show off, and finally set off a star-studded wave among the princes and nobles in the Qing court.
Some things, after you use them, you feel good about them, but you cannot adapt to the old things.
For example, soap is definitely better than soap, and silver mirrors are definitely better than Western glass mirrors. After eating dishes with MSG added, the dishes prepared by your own chef will lose their taste.
After using the toilet once, I no longer have any feeling for the wooden bucket.
That radio that can receive music from the sea of stars thousands of miles away, and the bicycle that pedals with legs are even more sought after by the younger generation.
Well, Hauge made a lot of money just by selling these Xinghai goods. However, some princes and nobles who did not have a good relationship with him found people to go to Xinghai Kingdom to buy goods on their own, instead of following his path.
Of course, these are just trails.
The Qing court focused most on arms.
Hence, after the Xinghai Kingdom’s immigration working groups entered the Qing court’s territory in batches, local officials of the Qing court came up with various strange tricks to promote immigration efficiency.
For example, whole villages are driven to the county town and then handed over directly to the people of Xinghai.
Otherwise, an order may be issued to directly confiscate the land, forcing people in the villages to immigrate, etc.
I have to say that the people in the Qing court's territory were miserable.
