Many immigrants have indeed come to the local area recently, mainly for the need to prevent war.

As relations with the Netherlands have fallen to the bottom in the past two years, some maritime conflicts have even erupted between the two sides. Moreover, the Netherlands has been making frequent moves in Cape Town and Toulaire recently. While increasing its strength through immigration, it also bribed local indigenous people and confronted the East Coast people. At this time, even the fool could see something was wrong. For this reason, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the East Coast Republic of China held a second round of consultations between the two sides in the Fortress of Good Hope in the second half of last year. The focus was on how to regulate and restrict the behavior between the two sides to minimize the possibility of accidents caused by accidents.

However, the Dutch were arrogant. They did not regard the East Coast people as opponents who could negotiate equally. They just blindly demanded the East Coast people to make concessions in all aspects and were unwilling to make any equal exchange of interests. For example, they asked the East Coast people to immediately stop armed assistance to the Brazilians, and de-armed Xinhuaburg and become a free port, etc.; but they were unwilling to respond directly to the East Coast people's request to freely dock Malacca City. They were only interested in the East Coast people's proposal to transport immigration for a paid, but perhaps because of their bad relationship in Ming, they could not find their agents in the mainland for a while, so they decisively asked the East Coast people for 500 yuan per person. This was an insincere price, and the East Coast people would definitely not be able to afford this price, so the second round of negotiations between the two sides ended in failure again - because of the Dutch people's arrogance.

Since the negotiations were fruitless, we had to be prepared to turn against each other. Given the poor natural resources on the east coast, almost everything needed to be imported. Therefore, people on the east coast stepped up the purchase of various scarce materials. While continuing to search for immigrants in Europe through commercial networks. In 1641, more than 11,500 immigrants (including 6,000 people) were collected into the east coast. Almost the limited capacity of the local area was expended. By 1642, the Executive Committee said that he would not dare to introduce a large number of people, because the country was not allowed to do this, both infrastructure and various resources.

Therefore, as of early February 1943, the East Coast Republic of China's East Coast Republic's merchant station in Riga, with the help of the Hanseatic League, only sent about 1,000 Livornians, 500 North Germans and 500 Bohemians into the East Coast. They spent less than 10,000 yuan to pay various fees, which was extremely cheap. The East Coast merchant stationed in Florence was much inferior in comparison. Due to limited connections, secret obstruction by hostile forces (Venetians), and Italy's relatively rich life

Therefore, the import of Italian immigrants this year has decreased significantly compared with last year, with only more than 900 people coming to the east coast through the port of Livorna. In comparison, the number of slaves (mainly female slaves) imported from the Ottoman Empire from the Ottoman Empire has increased every year. Last year, more than 1,000 Wallachia, Moldavian and Serbian female slaves were imported into the east coast through the port of Smyrna; and in the port of Suez, a large number of Berber, Maghreb slaves and Persian female slaves were sent to Xinhua Fort and then transported back to the local area one after another.

While immigrants were vigorously imported into these points, the Bordeaux Merchant Station, the largest stronghold on the European continent, stopped its efforts to collect immigrants under the guidance of the local government. They even stopped searching for children, so the number of French people who set out to the East Merchant Station through the Bordeaux Merchant Station throughout the year was zero! In other words, the second largest group in China, the French people had almost no fresh blood in the last year. However, they were not alone, according to Xinhua Port, according to the second largest group in China.

According to reports of ships returning to the local area, since October last year, the number of Ming people immigrants imported from the Portuguese to Xinhua Port has also shrunk significantly. They seem to have encountered great trouble, which should be related to the gradual decline of their power in the Far East. Therefore, the growth of the two major ethnic groups, the top two populations in the country, has almost stagnated at the same time. The difference is that the French are completely temporarily excluded by the Executive Committee, while the Ming people are for other reasons.

In any case, despite human control and intervention, the number of immigrants entering the country through various channels last year still exceeded 5,500. Coupled with the natural population growth and a few cross-border smuggling, the total population of the East Coast Republic of China reached nearly 63,000 in early 1943, which can be said to have hit a record high every year.

With so many people, they naturally cannot be left idle. Moreover, when the government changed its term, many former central officials transferred to local governments and began vigorous domestic construction, so the arrival of these immigrants was timely. For example, in front of him, in addition to serving as the director of the Dayu River Naval Shipyard to supervise shipbuilding, he also served as the chairman of the National River Broadening and Dredging Committee. The main responsibilities of this position are, as the name suggests, to broaden and dredge several major inland river traffic arteries in China, such as the Dayu River connecting the capital area; the two lakes canal connecting Milin Lake and Yazi Lake; the Yi River connecting Changshan Iron Mine, Xiayi River fort and Milin Lake; the Yakui River connecting Ping'an Town Heavy Industrial Zone and the Meihe Township Energy Base, etc. In addition, small and medium-sized rivers such as Ping'an River, Xiaoxi River, and Kamakuang River are also needed.

After these river channels are broadened and dredged, large-tonnage ships will be able to pass through, which will be of great significance to alleviating the domestic capacity bottleneck. Therefore, Xiao Bailang has recently devoted a considerable amount of energy to this matter. Over the past few months, more than 1,500 people have been assigned to various river construction sites in China. It is expected that in the next year, they will continue to contribute their efforts to the great cause of widening the canal of the East Coast Republic of China.

"Ma Vest went to Nanyazihu ​​area to serve as a regional specialist. On the one hand, she presided over the development of Huxi agricultural base, and on the other hand, she focused on the production of various enterprises in the entire shipbuilding industry chain. I heard that he was in an iron-fisted style there. Haha, those private small enterprises such as cable workshops, barrel workshops, canvas workshops, blacksmith workshops, winemaking workshops, etc. have been included in the entire production chain and strictly accepted supervision. Those who should expand production immediately increased their capital and expanded their production. Those who had no strength or delayed their ability will be warned immediately, or they will be asked to get out of here and let the virtuous have it.

A powerful investor." Xiao Bailang said with a smile, "I heard that the noise was quite big. Many workshops that were originally exclusively operated were forced to integrate and operate in combination. Moreover, the United Industrial Credit Bank complained to the higher authorities a while ago, saying that Lao Ma forced them to lend to small businesses that lacked funds, which infinitely magnified their operating risks. However, this matter was suppressed later. Thinking about it, this little thing is nothing compared to the political tasks of Far East immigration. These people have too small structures to distinguish between the primary and secondary."

"Lao Ma is very busy, and Lao Shao is also making great progress in the Xiling area in the south." Liu Weimin also took over the topic and said: "He has been the Xiling area commissioner for more than a month. He has been overhauling the reservoir and farmland irrigation channels recently. It seems that he is going to open a cotton and soybean planting area in the two places of the Corps Fort and the Farm. Moreover, the expansion of Luoqia Port Wharf is also being carried out step by step, and he also said that he would build a fishing port here to build a fishing port here.

He specializes in fishing and even whaling, but it seems to be a bit difficult at the moment. After all, Luoqia Port and the entire Xiling area have always been sparsely populated areas, and labor resources are extremely scarce. Haha, Lao Shao is still an idea. He wants to set up the local shelves in advance, and when the Far East immigrants really come, they can be resettled one by one. In this way, Luoqia will develop suddenly, and it will not be a problem to establish a county at that time."

"Hehe, he wants Luoqia to establish a fourth county, so Lao Peng will not agree." Xiao Bailang said as if he had found some interesting topics: "He is a soldier who is going to serve as the commissioner of the Yihe area. I don't know what the place will be like. If he can manage the local economy, it would be a real ghost. With his military rule of law, he would have torn up all the already weak family background in the Yihe area."

After resigning as Chief of Staff and Minister of the Army of the National Armed Forces, Peng Zhicheng, the largest "military leader" in China, was transferred to the position of Yihe Regional Commissioner and National Railway Supervisor. Yihe Region currently has Changshan Fort, Xiayihe Fort and Meilin Port, which is vast and sparsely populated. As one of the three major bases for the acceptance of Eastern immigration in China (the other two are the Xiling region and the Nanyazi Lake region), the Yihe Region has fertile land, convenient transportation, and great development potential. To this end, Peng Zhicheng mobilized many old relationships and finally won the promise of the first batch of Ming Dynasty resettlement housing in the area near Meilin Port, which made Ma Jia, Shao Shude and others sigh.

In fact, the Executive Committee and the State Council have done a lot of preliminary preparations to undertake the possible large number of Ming immigration immigrants, such as the construction of resettlement housing, the construction of farmland water conservancy irrigation facilities, the construction of transportation facilities, the leveling and reclamation of wastelands, etc. These constructions are mainly concentrated in the above three areas. If everything goes well, it is no problem to resettle 20,000 to 30,000 people in these three areas.

Peng Zhicheng's other work - the National Railway Supervision, is currently mainly to focus on the laying of the rails of the Luomei Line railway, in order to connect the six stations in the two places as soon as possible. Because only when a double-line railway is built can vehicles move north and south at the same time, which really means that the entire railway is connected. This work will undoubtedly absorb a large number of new Ming immigrant labor.

To sum up, the local area has basically prepared houses, farmland, roads and even work, so I wait for someone to come and fill it in. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
