"Everyone, this is the protest letter sent by the Soviet government. The wording is relatively harsh. They demand that we immediately stop accepting farmers who have escaped from Siberia, and they also want us to send back those who have come before. Moreover, they also protest to us about our country's
Regarding the large-scale immigration from Siberia, what do you think we are going to do?”
At the regular work meeting held today, Su Tong circulated the diplomatic note he had just received from the Soviet Union to the participants.
Several Congress Party officials headed by Vice President Chiang did not say anything, but looked at the Socialist Workers Party officials headed by Gu Yue with half-smiles.
"I think we still need to treat this issue with caution. I think we definitely cannot repatriate those who have come over. That would destroy the prestige our country has built up. But there is a problem with treating those who are ready to come over.
Should we think carefully about it? After all, so many people arriving at once will put a heavy burden on our government," Zhou Tiecheng said.
"There is also our immigration problem. We have already immigrated 300,000 people to Siberia. If we immigrate again, will it exceed the bottom line of the Soviet Union's political ax? Can we stop for a while?" Someone also raised the question at the meeting.
worries.
At this time, Premier Li Zongren spoke, "I don't think so. Three hundred thousand immigrants are immigrants, and three million immigrants are immigrants. Since we want to immigrate, we must move enough. Our country's population is already the largest in the world.
If we don’t develop outward, our country’s living space will definitely be crowded by the growing population in the future. This is not alarmist. In recent days, our State Council has conducted some surveys and found that based on the current birth rate, in another 50 years
By the year, our country’s population will exceed one billion, which is a very serious problem.”
As soon as Li Zongren's words came out, everyone present was shocked. How many billions of people are there in the world now? Relevant experts made statistics in 1930. The world's population was only 2 billion, and now it is only 20 million.
Two to three billion. If China's population increases to one billion, doesn't it mean that China's population alone accounts for half of the world's population?
"Prime Minister Li, is this too strong a statement?" Minister of Agriculture Li Daxia said hesitantly.
"Serious words." Li Zongren snorted, "Do you know what the population of our country was when the Qing Dynasty first came to power? Fifty million. Our country only has a population of fifty million. But after more than two hundred years, our country's population has developed to
Four hundred and fifty million, a full increase of nine times. This data shows that our country’s population is growing at a rate of doubling in thirty years. You can calculate based on this ratio, what will our country’s population be in fifty years?
To what extent will it grow, and what will our country do to feed such a large population?"
Since Li Zongren became the Prime Minister of the State Council, he has devoted his energy to economic work. On weekdays, Su Tong also intentionally or unintentionally instilled in him the theory of population explosion and the harm it would bring to the country. At first, Li Zongren didn't pay much attention to it.
But when he made a preliminary calculation of China's population growth rate and solicited the opinions of many sociologists, he was stunned by the results he calculated. The data he calculated showed that China's population will be 50 years from now.
The growth reached a point where the country could no longer bear it. Therefore, he took the opportunity to reveal the news during this meeting.
After listening to Li Zongren's words, the attendees all looked at each other. With a population of more than one billion, this population base is enough to make any political administration anxious to death.
"Prime Minister Li, do you have any solid evidence or data basis for this data?" Vice President Gu asked seriously.
"Of course, I have. Here I have detailed data from the total population of the country when the Manchus entered the customs in 1644 to the total population of the country today, as well as the predictions of many sociologists. They predicted that our country will be in fifty years' time.
The population base data is basically reliable. If we don’t pay attention to this problem now, we will have to spend ten times or even a hundred times the cost to deal with this problem in the future." Li Zongren said without hesitation, "It seems that there are too many people.
Not only is it powerful, but being powerful also means that there are more people eating." Su Tong made a joke on the side, but now everyone was shocked by the sudden news, and no one was in the mood to appreciate Su Tong.
Sir's humor.
"Humph, let's see if you will still oppose the immigration plan." Su Tong secretly felt angry. Su Tong naturally knew how horribly China's population would grow in the future. China's economic growth was dragged down by the huge population.
How difficult it is for more than ten percent of the world's arable land to feed a quarter of the world's population. Therefore, preparing for a rainy day has become one of the things Su Tong has to do now. First, he must increase the number of Chinese people.
living space and find more land and resources for the people. The second is to control the growth of the population. It is naturally a bit early to propose family planning now, but proper population control farming still needs to be carried out.
No one spoke at the venue, everyone was busy drinking tea and smoking.
Seeing this situation, Su Tong, as the top leader, had to speak: "Since no one has spoken, I will say a few words. Everyone has heard what Premier Li just said. The situation our country is facing is still very serious. Population
The continuous growth of the land area per capita has led to the continuous shrinking of the land area per capita, and the land will not increase like the population. There are only two ways to do it. One is to occupy more land, and the other is to control the growth rate of our population and decide
We cannot let them go beyond our control. If we continue to demand endlessly from the land, one day the land will take revenge on us."
"Therefore, I suggest that immigration to Siberia must not be stopped, and we must establish a truly effective system to control population growth now. We must not wait until we can't deal with it and then just improvise. That would be disrespectful to the country and the people."
responsibility"
Moscow Kremlin "Comrade Stalin, this is the reply letter from the Chinese government to the diplomatic note sent by the Chinese government." The young secretary handed a letter to Stalin.
"To the Soviet Union, the Chinese government has approved the immigration to Siberia with the permission of the Russian Empire. Therefore, the Soviet Union's protest has no reason at all. Our country abides by the Russian government's agreement, and both parties
The freedom to immigrate freely is a right granted to every human being by international law, and the Soviet Russian government has no right to interfere. Therefore, after study by our country’s government, we have made the following resolution in response to your country’s government’s protest.”
"Assholes, are these bastards going to carve up the great territory of Soviet Russia nakedly like this? Alexey, you bastard, you scum of the Russian people." Stalin's face twisted with anger.
Stalin, angry at the "coming man", pressed the bell.
The door was pushed open, and the young and beautiful female secretary walked in immediately, "Hello, dear Comrade Stalin, do you have any instructions?"
"Forget it right away. You can go out." Stalin thought for a while but sat down helplessly and sighed. Now is not the time to fall out with the Chinese. The Soviet government now has too many scruples. In Europe, the Germans
The impending move and the isolation of the international community forced Stalin to have some scruples.
Strength, what Soviet Russia needs to improve now is its industrial strength. Only by improving its strength can it be able to speak in the world. "Let you be proud for a while first, and then we will settle the accounts after our industrial level is improved."
The time has come." Stalin said secretly.
In a village in Datong, Shanxi Province, Wang Erniu walked into a dilapidated mud house of his family and saw his father, Old Man Zhao, holding his eldest brother's son, his eldest grandson, with a smile on his face. He felt a little bit in his heart.
I was hesitant whether to tell my dad about the new announcement from the government, but after thinking about it I decided to tell my dad, which would save me the trouble of finding out later.
"Dad, the government has made another announcement today." Wang Erniu hesitated and said, "I heard that our village will also start issuing subsistence allowances."
"Really?" Old Man Zhao's eyes lit up, "Doesn't that mean our family can also receive twenty kilograms of food every month?"
"Yes, but the government has another rule, which states that each couple cannot have more than two children. If the number exceeds two, the share of the minimum living allowance will be cancelled." Wang Erniu's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
"What?" As expected, after hearing this, Old Man Wang jumped three feet high and immediately roared, "Why don't you give us a minimum living allowance? Why don't you give us a minimum living allowance if a baby is in our family? Why don't you give us a minimum living allowance?"
, I will go and argue with them, and dad will argue with them." Old man Zhao handed his eldest grandson to his eldest daughter-in-law, picked up his second son and left.
"Dad, people have their own reasons for being political. What's the use of us going there?" Wang Erniu was unwilling to lose this person.
"You bastard, why don't you want our things?" Old Man Wang refused.
At this time, the eldest son came in, and Old Man Wang pulled his eldest son to go to the township government to argue. The eldest son was not willing to go, "Dad, as long as the number of children we give birth to does not exceed the number of children that the government said, we can receive a lower salary."
It’s guaranteed, why do you, old man, have to call this real thing?”
"What, they control the government, the heaven and the earth, and they also care about us having children and farting, no, no dynasty or generation has such rules, we just want to go."
"Dad," the eldest son also got angry, "Then tell me, does the government owe us money, or do we store the food with the government? Why do they give us food? Which dynasty and generation have this?"
Behave yourself"
"Uh." The eldest son's words stopped Old Man Wang from asking, and he was speechless for a moment.
