"Since the full war with the French and the natural retrieval of the Hejian area, the central government has put all its thoughts there and the investment is quite strong. In comparison, our Brazilian area is no different from the stepmother's support." During a regular meeting held by the Beining Regional Administration, the leaders and minds of the counties, which are usually in the north and south, have rarely had time to get together. And the more people gather together, the more this is inevitable. Now, Liu Houfei and Lu Xiaofeng, who have recently served as acting county magistrates of Rongcheng and Jingsai, "abused" the central government's major policies.

"Where is the central government's policy support for us? Apart from some messy gadgets, it is just a bit tilted in food procurement, but this is far from enough." Lu Xiaofeng lit a cigarette for both of them with a match, and then said dissatisfiedly.

The food procurement support mentioned by Lu Xiaofeng was mainly the daily grain, fruits and vegetables required by the construction workers of Changshun County ports and other facilities. They were mainly purchased from the Beining area. To put it bluntly, they were purchased from Beining, Rongcheng and Jingsai counties. These grains were transported to Changshun Port Wharf through the inland plateau through the dangerous sheep intestine path on the inland plateau. Not to mention the danger on the road, just eating horses and chewing them is enough to make the grain price surge.

Therefore, if the state had not forced the construction teams nearby to buy grain from the inland Beining, people would rather eat the damp-bearing grain transported from the south by sea than buy yours. For example, the Third Bureau of Communications and Construction, under the Ministry of Transport, was once criticized by superiors for importing cheap wheat from grain merchant Li Wenchang from the Changhua Port area, and finally had to buy it from the Beining area, and there was no one else. Speaking of which, this may be a disguised subsidy for the local government to the Beining area.

In addition, as the Beining region officials - from the regional administration commissioner, veteran Xu Yu, and from the county and township chiefs - cried more and more loudly, the Executive Committee had no choice but to transfer the source of grain procurement for the troops stationed in Brazil to this side, this was a little relieved. You must know that this is not a small number.

At present, the troops stationed in Brazil in the East Coast of China are divided into three units. One is 3,000 non-national labor cannon fodders trained at Jiaohe Port. These people were established to replace and supplement the various armed forces such as the Baoguo Army stationed in the Caribbean. In addition to training, they also logged and repaired roads in the local area, cleaned up land, and laid a solid foundation for the development of farmland. The food needs of these people are not small, and they will be purchased from the Beining area according to regulations.

Oh, by the way, the number of people in this part has increased a little more. The troops expeditioned to the Quebec colony of France led by Minamijiro ended in failure. At present, less than 300 defeated generals of the unit have returned to the local area on the East Coast merchant ship that was returning to the land for rest and stationed at Jiaohe Port.

Second, it is to adjust the 1,450 officers and soldiers of the first mixed battalion of Hue Port. These men from the capital have money in their pockets and have strong consumption capacity. In addition to grain, they will also consume other commodities such as tobacco, fruits and other goods. Similarly, daily life needs are purchased from the Beining area. The planting of local grain, vegetables, fruits and some economic crops is also encouraged. Of course, the former Virgin Concealment Fortress stationed in Hue Port - now the Navy has transformed it into a fortress-type fortress-type fortress-type fortress to protect the security of Hue, an important port. The daily life needs of hundreds of Navy Fortress officers and soldiers who are stationed in Hue Port - are also purchased from Beining, which adds up a lot.

Third, some of the First Fleet ships stationed in Changshun Port. The number of this part is quite large, which adds up to 3,000, especially because the food expenses of naval officers and soldiers are high and their consumption capacity is far beyond the same number of army members, so their role in promoting food production in Beining is simply very strong.

Of course, there is also a Zhongguo * Army's miscellaneous cannon fodder unit led by Xu Xiangdong, with a size of more than 2,000 people. The unit has been drilling ravines with Indians in the wilderness of Beining for many years. The daily needs of daily life are originally provided by Beining (the local government pays part of the food and salary, and the central government allocates some of the funds to solve). There is no need to say more.

The food requirements of the above total of more than 8,000 officers and soldiers are enough to make life much better in the four counties of Beining, which are not very rich in the population. If we include a series of national and non-national construction engineering teams that repair forts, build ports, pave roads, build houses, and log timber, the number of people is definitely close to 30,000. Daily food consumption is really not a small amount. It can indeed make the four counties of Beining, Changshun, Rongcheng and Jingsai make a big profit, and then attract more pioneers to come here to buy land and settle down and reproduce.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the complaints of officials in Beining are really unreasonable. The central government just did not give them money directly (in fact, it is not that they did not give them money, but that they gave them less. The superiors supported them more in the form of materials, but the number was also relatively small. Because of the difficulties of transportation), they were criticized privately as if they were like this. But then again, who told you that the central government would not give money directly? It would be better to give more people if they didn't give them money, but the result was that there were not many people. The counties in Beining had to find ways to go to the hinterland of the south to attract people, so it was normal for them to be slandered in private.

Especially if this is not given, it is very angering for officials in the Beining region. They report this year that they want to set up several new settlements, namely Pucheng Township, near the Port of Phyllis in the later generations, Xiadu Township near the town of Tiete, Wusui Township near the city of Tatuy in the later generations, Wuhui Township near the city of Itapetininga in the later generations, Juma Township near the town of Conshas in the later generations, and Tonggu Township near the town of A Nianbi, a total of six settled residences

The central government approved it, but after all, it was given an immigration quota of less than 3,000 people. More than half of them were regular non-national labor workers, cannon fodder soldiers, etc., which made people "extremely angry" - after careful calculation, an average of only about 500 people in a settlement, what is enough to play? Nothing can be played! The Beining area still has to continue to spend money on advertising to fool people over to fill in the pit, otherwise, filling these six new settlements will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month?

However, the protests of officials in the Beining area are ineffective because the central population is other useful. In addition to the Hejian area, which swallowed up a large number of new populations, some local old counties with a small population have also been assigned a lot of population. Patagonia has also assigned 8,000 people this year. In addition, there are many newly established settlements in the Atlantic coast. There are eleven of them, namely: Yuyang Township, located near the town of Caraguatabatu in the later generations, located near the town of Ubatuba in the later generations, and located at the town of Palati in the later generations.

The near Yanle Township is located in Xingtangxiang near the town of Angola Dusres in later generations, Huairong Township near the town of Itayayi, Liangxiang Township near the town of Tirucas, Fanyangxiang near the city of Krisiuma in later generations, Gu'anxiang near the port of Torres in later generations, Luxiang near the town of Alarangu (by the way, the Alarangu River was also renamed Luhe), Wuqingxiang near the town of Nantingbe in later generations, and Anci Township near the town of North Brasu in later generations.

The total of eleven settlements can be seen from the map. They are basically located in the coastal plains, and the Atlantic coast that reaches Hue in the north and Yazi Lake in the south are full of all. They are full of courage. The population composition of these areas is basically mainly new immigrants, accounting for more than 60%. Second-generation citizens, regular non-nationals and a few free immigrants from the Baltic Sea, filled the remaining 40%.

There is no doubt that those who are assigned to these newly set settlements among the immigrants are not lucky enough. Even old cities like Dongfang County, Ping'an County, Qingdao County, etc. that have been established for decades and have developed economy, they still accept some new immigrants every year. These immigrants are undoubtedly considered to have accumulated virtue from their ancestors, so that their descendants do not have to go to the wilderness to reclaim wastelands. But why are the second generation of citizens who are "driven away" from their hometowns and forced to live in border areas for policy reasons?

Due to government restrictions, it is difficult for them to get land for second-generation young people born in economically developed areas. Because the Executive Committee allocates many common land reclamation indicators to the old areas, if they cannot find other jobs other than farming, they have to sign up to reclaim land in the border areas and become one of the "domestic immigrants" in the real border.

The old people have reason to be angry at such policies. Because every year, new immigrants from the East from their hometowns are happily divided into wastelands to settle down, but their children are not allowed to stay in their hometowns due to policy restrictions, but many of the remaining people have to carry their luggage and go to the countryside to find their future in the difficult and wild border areas. Many of them have fallen in the process of land reclamation, and have been separated from their families and gods from afar, which undoubtedly makes the public grievances in various places quite a bit.

However, the will of the Executive Committee is temporarily unshakable by these people. The East Coast is also a highly centralized police state. It is a spy society. It will take many years of hard work for the old people to change their ideas and adjust their policies. At least in the short term, there will be no possibility, because the elders cannot feel any threat at all.

Well, this topic is too sensitive, let's bring the topic back to the original question.

After so many newly set settlements along the Atlantic coast have consumed a large number of new populations this year, Beining, a region with inconvenient transportation, is already very capable of "snatching" the 3,000 immigrants from the General Administration of Development of the State. Because according to the original plan, Beining will only place 2,000 immigrants this year, because a large amount of local food stocks have been exported and digested, the local area may no longer support excessive population reclamation. Therefore, the recruitment advertisements in Beining may not be stopped, and they still need to be published in major domestic newspapers and magazines, and they also have to face competition from other regions.

"How many people have you recruited this year?" Liu Houfei, who is already a department-level cadre, smoked a cigarette and asked Lu Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to him: "Our county is a bit in trouble. This year, we only got more than 1,000 cats and dogs. Fortunately, most of them are young men and women, and the value is relatively large. But the number is still far from enough. Don't need people to do anything now?"

"We are the same. We spent a lot of advertising fees, but the effect seems very limited. We have successively obtained two thousand people, and they have all been placed in various townships." Lu Xiaofeng said: "This year, the county will organize people to go up the river. We originally planned to organize a scale of 3,000 people, but now it seems that there is no chance. Let's do it. Who makes us have limited conditions? It's a little bit, and it's impossible to be anxious."

After saying this, the two of them were a little silent. The Brazilian shield was like a huge wall, blocking the vast plateau inland. No matter how fertile the land, how rich the products, and how pleasant the climate on the plateau, on the east coast of a traditional agricultural country, unless you want to live a poor life isolated from the world, trade and exchange with the outside world, because you cannot produce everything.

In this way, the disadvantages of the Beining region are too great. The extremely difficult transportation conditions make logistics efficiency extremely low and the cost is extremely high, which makes most economic activities stagnate. Just look at the trade volume. You can tell that the per capita trade volume in Beining is even worse than Patagonia, and business activities are really sluggish. The people are almost crowded in a relatively closed economic circle and live a life of relatively shortage of materials.

Now, the locals are no longer interested in the sea that is close to them, because it is a barrier that they cannot cross. What they are more interested in now seems to be when a railway can lead to this south so as to free them from the dilemma. After all, relying on deliberate subsidies by the government alone is far from enough and unreliable. If the Beining region wants to be really rich, it still needs to conduct commercial exchanges with the outside world, and this first requires convenient transportation conditions.
