After lunch, Dong Cheng drank too much and went to bed early. Dong's mother was busy calling relatives to show off that she had a good son-in-law. However, she also followed her daughter's advice and did not reveal Zhang Yang's true identity. She only said that he was a big man.
rich man.
Zhang Yang and Dong Xueqian ignored the two old men and walked together on the streets of Wen'an County. It was too obvious that Katerina was a foreigner and did not follow them. They arranged eight female bodyguards to secretly protect Zhang Yang. In fact, there was danger here.
The probability is very low, but this is Catalina's job, and it's hard to stop it even if it's publicity.
"I haven't been back for two years, and there are almost no changes here!" Zhang Yang sighed.
Dong Xueqian smiled and said: "Wen'an County is so small and has no resources to attract investment. How can it develop so quickly! Do you think everyone is as powerful as you?"
"Yes! If there are no particularly good opportunities, the economy of Wen'an County will be like this!" Zhang Yang thought of his own Miaoxiang Country. It seems that the planning of the city must be carefully considered, and the city cannot be built indiscriminately. Otherwise,
It will be half dead like here.
Moreover, Miaoxiang Country has a huge shortcoming compared to China: insufficient population. Without enough population, there is not enough labor force and insufficient consumption power. Ghost towns have appeared in China. If Miaoxiang Country does not plan well, ghost towns will appear.
The probability is much greater than that of China.
Speaking of which, Miaoxiang Country is now full of ghost towns and ghost villages. Because Zhang Yang carried out brutal suppression of the indigenous people and wiped out all the indigenous people, although a large amount of supplies were obtained, the population of Miaoxiang Country suddenly decreased.
From the eight million ethnic minorities and local indigenous people before the founding of the People's Republic of China to the two million Chinese descendants at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this is not a slight decrease. Although Chinese workers are pouring into Miaoxiang Country every day, such a large population base
, it cannot be made up for in a short time.
Now, after several rounds of purges in the Miaoxiang Kingdom, only the ten major cities within the territory are inhabited by people. If it were not for the population diversion in Taunggyi City where the temporary official residence is located some time ago, even these ten cities would not have many people.
Miaoxiang Kingdom covers an area of 160,000 square kilometers, accounting for a quarter of the entire territory of Myanmar. To compare it directly with the country, it is as big as Guizhou Province. However, Guizhou Province has more than 30 million people, while Miaoxiang Kingdom only has 200 people.
There are tens of thousands of people. From this we can see how big the population of Miaoxiang Country is.
The advantage of a small population is that there are more resources per capita. In the case of Miaoxiang Country, the resources, mineral forests and forests currently being exploited are enough to ensure that everyone can live a well-off life, but this economic model has great problems.
The problem is poor spending power and too many people.
It is impossible for Zhang Yang to use the country's money to support these people. He is not a good man. The money must be used for infrastructure construction. The transformation of Muse City is his experimental field. If successful, other cities will follow. Zhang Yang is still there
Consider whether to develop some towns and villages. Now it seems that this is basically not necessary. It would be good to develop the top ten cities.
"Squad leader, you said there are so many people here who are inactive. If they could earn more by farming in Miaoxiang Country than working in China, would they go?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.
Dong Xueqian frowned and said: "It's difficult for us here. Although the economy in Wen'an County is not good, farmers with land in the local area can still maintain their lives. As long as they can maintain their lives, they will not abandon their homes and careers to farm in foreign countries.
.But I heard that Henan Province is a typical province with many people and little land. As long as there is a job that makes money, they will do it. Not to mention the distance, there are many people from Henan Province who come to rent land to grow cotton here!"
Zhang Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of Yu Province?"
Yu Province is the ancient Central Plains. It is almost the same size as Miaoxiang Kingdom, with an area of 160,000 square kilometers, but it has a population of 100 million. It is the most populous country in the country, and it is also the country's largest economic province. However, this economically large province has a
The important problem is that there are too many people.
The sketch "Supernatural Guerrilla" that was performed all over China at that time was based here. The population is large and the land is small. In order to support their families, people from Henan Province are almost everywhere in the country. Even for a period of time, people all over the country rejected people from Henan Province, saying that people from Henan Province were excluded.
All kinds of bad words about saving people.
But no matter what you say, one thing cannot be denied, that is, the people of Yu Province are very able to endure hardships. In this regard, they, like Shu Province, are one of the representative provinces that endure hardships and stand hard work.
Moreover, Yu Province is the birthplace of China. In ancient times, it was called Central Plains, Zhongtu, Zhongzhou, Shenzhou, and even the name of the country Huaxia was another name here. It can be imagined that the importance of this province in China is even more important.
What's more, this is the birthplace of culture: Central Plains culture, Heluo culture, Chinese character culture, surname culture, root culture, Sanshang culture, etiquette culture, sage culture, poetry culture, martial arts culture, opera culture, and Taoism, Mohism,
Legalism, famous scholars, politicians and other ideas all originated here.
If you can attract people from Yu Province to farm in Miaoxiang Country, it will not only make up for the lack of population and stabilize agriculture, the lifeblood of a country, but also bring a lot of culture. What you have to do is not only pass on the true culture of China
? Then the huge population of Yu Province is not what we need?
"Baby, thank you!" Zhang Yang's eyes lit up the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but hug Dong Xueqian and spin around twice.
Dong Xueqian said shyly: "Let me down quickly!"
Zhang Yang laughed loudly, put Dong Xueqian down, put his arms around her waist and said, "Monitor, you didn't go to college in vain!"
Dong Xueqian said shyly: "I just said casually, you know that I majored in journalism, and we were very concerned about the problem of migrant workers in Henan Province being excluded, so we have some understanding. Zhang Yang, you are planning to attract people from Henan Province
Do people go to work in Miaoxiang Country?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "That's right! In terms of ordinary talents, they have done a very good job. Now graduates from various colleges and universities come to work in our Miaoxiang Country. Some are taking the civil service examination and want to be officials, some are running to start a business, and some are looking for
Opportunities, coupled with the influx of migrant workers, can already put Miaoxiang Country on the right path. But the most scarce thing in Miaoxiang Country now is farmers!"
"Farmers?" Dong Xueqian said with some confusion: "Are farmers that important?"
Zhang Yang said: "Only those sitting in this position know the importance of farmers. I didn't think of this at the beginning. All the indigenous people who were not of Chinese descent were expelled, resulting in almost all the land being idle. No one cultivated the land.
, there would be no food. Without food, a country would lose its lifeblood. Industry is important, it is a measure of a country’s development level and a reflection of its prosperity. But agriculture is the blood of a country. Without the blood, this person will not survive.
Don’t go down!”
Dong Xueqian said doubtfully: "Wouldn't it be enough to bring back the expelled natives?"
"No! The indigenous issue is a national policy. What I want to build now is a force that can take charge of the affairs of all descendants of Chinese descent in Southeast Asia, a country that these descendants of Chinese descent can identify with. If they identify with it at all, with the financial and material resources of these people, it cannot be used
How long will it take for Miaoxiang Country to develop? And if you want them to agree, the most important thing is not to compromise with the local indigenous people!" Zhang Yang said firmly.
Dong Xueqian didn’t understand: “Aren’t those Chinese in Southeast Asia living with the local indigenous people?”
"Just because they live together, they have had enough of the discrimination and persecution of these indigenous people, and they hate these indigenous people extremely. Why do they want to help Mr. Sun Yat-sen build the country? The purpose is to one day have a strong motherland to support them. One day they can return to the country to comfort them.
Ancestors." Zhang Yang sighed and said: "They succeeded and Huaxia was established, but they were disappointed again because Huaxia implemented a policy of ethnic integration, and because of the suppressed environment after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they did not dare to make decisions for these Chinese.
, resulting in these people living abroad, and in the past twenty years, the conflict between the Chinese and the local indigenous people has become more and more serious, so great that it is almost irreconcilable!"
"Ah, you want to attract them all to Miaoxiang Country!" Dong Xueqian said.
"It's impossible to attract them all. We just give them one more choice. As long as they identify with Miaoxiang Country and are willing to invest or settle here, then the shortcomings in Miaoxiang Country's population can be made up for. The number of Chinese in Southeast Asia is far away from you.
My imagination. And if I want them to come, I have to have their living space, so I can only drive away the local indigenous people!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
