Yang Meng pointed to the scenery in front of him and asked, "This is 'Outer Mongolia Xiaogang Island'?"

Long Teng blinked: "Seeing this, I actually thought of those country towns in the Stars and Stripes, does that mean?"

Yang Meng nodded: "There really is!"

The whole of Zamyn-Uud is two rows of houses gathered on the side of the road, and the tallest building Yang Meng can see is a supermarket and restaurant in one, which is three stories high. More than 90% of the buildings have only one floor------ only a few four-story residential buildings were later found next to the Zamyn-Uud school。。。。。。

Many people coming in from the border crossing take a bus to Zamyn-Uud because there is a railway station. The country's only railroad was through the Erlian port to Zamyn-Uud and north to Ulaanbaatar and then to the Tsarist border. The yellow Gothic building that Yang Meng saw that read 'Welcome to Zamyn-Uud' was the train station here.

As a matter of fact, about ninety percent of all the materials that the people of Outer Mongolia rely on for survival, except for oil, which is imported from Tsarist Russia, are imported from Erlian.

When the epidemic occurred in that year, Outer Mongolia was afraid of being implicated, so it asked for a second retreat! When Han Guo heard this, he directly agreed to this request, but a week later, the people of Outer Mongolia collapsed, and there was nothing to eat, drink, and have fun, so they could only urgently negotiate with the Han side to reopen the border overnight. However, the reopening of the border is very troublesome, and all the staff and the like need to be re-contacted, of course, it will take a few days。。。。。。

Again, the development of light industry in Outer Mongolia is close to zero, and what else can a country that can't even print banknotes and needs to hand them over to foreign companies to print on their behalf?

Nisgebari said with a smile: "This Zamyn-Uud is a city, but this scale is not even as good as a small town in Han Kingdom, there is a bank, a gas station and a school in the city. ”

"How long has it been developing here?" Yang Meng couldn't help but ask.

"Since 2004, it has been established as the Outer Mongolia Free Trade Zone, so it is called 'Outer Mongolia Small Port Island'. "I see what you mean, how can this be the same after more than ten years? They really tried their best! In '04, the population here was less than 300 people, and today it has grown to more than 6,000 people. ”

Hu Er was stunned and laughed: "I live in more than 6,000 people. ”

Nisgebari shook his head: "You can't compare everything with the Han Kingdom, except for Ulaanbaatar, there are no cities with a population of more than 100,000 in the whole of Outer Mongolia! This is still those provincial capital-level big cities, and Outer Mongolia has 21 provinces in addition to the capital, and the combined population of the provincial capitals of these 21 provinces is not more than half of the population of Ulaanbaatar, and even the population of the provincial capitals of some provinces is not as good as this Zamyn-Uud! Do you know that these think that the development of Zamyn-Uud is very good?"

Yang Meng and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and finally Long Teng muttered: "When I arrived in Inner Mongolia, I thought that even if I had seen what it meant to be 'vast and sparsely populated', I only knew what it meant to be 'small and sparsely populated' when I arrived here." ”

Nisgebari nodded and said: "Of course, Inner Mongolia has a population of 25.4 million square kilometers of 1.18 million square kilometers, and Outer Mongolia has a population of 1.57 million square kilometers and 3 million people, is there a Fabi?"

"Then give birth!" Hu Er was stunned: "Don't women here give birth to children?"

"Sixty thousand!" Nice Gebarge gives a number: "

At least 60,000 single-parent families, that is, there are many girls who raise children directly without getting married, compared to the population here is really a lot, so do you still think that people here do not have children? If you go to Ulaanbaatar, almost all of them are young people! Outer Mongolia has really done its best to stimulate the population: there is free and compulsory education in the true sense of the word, medical treatment is basically free, and if you are a citizen here, you can freely choose almost one hectare of land in the designated area of the government to belong to you permanently, minor children can go to the bank every month to receive money, and the government will send money when they get married。。。。。。 In fact, the ownership belongs to all citizens of Outer Mongolia, and everyone will receive a share dividend every year, almost 1 million yuan. ”

"About two thousand five or six hundred?" Long Teng said after a moment's calculation.

Nisgebari nodded: "Yes." Yes, everyone has it. The more people in the family, the more you take. Some girls are single mothers for welfare reasons. ”

Yang Meng sighed after hearing this: "If I am in such a country, I will not be too lazy to die." So why don't you have more children if the benefits are so good?"

"It's not as simple as you think. Nisgebarge scratched his head: "The level of medical care is poor, the average life expectancy is low, and there are more people who drink more every day than those who are sober every day, a large number of people go to live in foreign countries, and the phenomenon of parents sending boys abroad is quite common, and it is okay in other places, the ratio of men and women between the ages of 16 and 35 in Ulaanbaatar is close to 1:2 and close to 1:3。。。。。。 It's a really complicated issue. The population base is also low, and it is really difficult to grow significantly. ”

Xiao Peng whistled: "Three women and one man, no wonder the men here are all fragrant babies." ”

It's not a joke that the Outer Mongolian man is a fragrant baby, after all, some Outer Mongolian officials even proposed that the man here can marry two daughters-in-law to solve this problem.

Successive governments in Mongolia have encouraged childbearing, which is the 'basic national policy' of their country, and if a woman has more children, she is a 'glorious mother', and the woman who receives this title will be personally received by the president and awarded a medal.

This policy has stimulated fertility for a while, and about 50 years ago, the population of Outer Mongolia increased by more than 30 percent every year.

However, since the economic development of Outer Mongolia was slow after the economic transformation 30 years ago, many preferential policies for childbirth have also changed, and now many families in Outer Mongolia also believe in the concept of 'having fewer children and getting rich early', and the number of women who can win the title of "Glorious Mother" every year is about 6,000, but now it is less than 1,000.

After all, there are few men, almost all the men from rich families are sent abroad, and the children of those who have no money start to drop out of school early, either they work to make money, or they will become gangsters, and the ratio of men and women in colleges and universities in Outer Mongolia is 35%:65%, this girl has a high level of education and good vision, can she look down on those men。。。。。? There are fewer marriages, more divorces, and fewer children. It is not surprising that population growth is slow.

The group walked around Zamyn-Uud, but there was really nothing to do here, there were many merchants, but things were bought and sold here。。。。。。 It is really about the same level as the small shops in the county town in China, but Yang Meng saw some Mongolian-style souvenirs and wanted to buy a few to take back, but after a closer look----- 'MADE IN A'!

But I did see a lot of it here

Foreigners, men and women, young and old,

Maybe it's because of Genghis Khan? Westerners are full of yearning for Outer Mongolia, which is the world's largest backpacker distribution center, and a large number of Westerners come to Outer Mongolia every year to travel or simply come to study, and hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Americans pour into Outer Mongolia from all directions every summer.

In the words of Nisgebari: You really want to pick up girls in Outer Mongolia, go to those blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls, there are quite a lot of them, and they are definitely the best------ they are also eager to meet here. But don't provoke the local girls of Outer Mongolia, that's really a terrible existence.

This is the second time he has said this, Yang Meng and others asked him curiously, but they didn't keep silent again----- there is a story here!

But on the Internet, Western travelers' evaluations of Outer Mongolia are polarizing: those who go into the grasslands with backpacks in Outer Mongolia say it's paradise, while those who live in Ulaanbaatar say it's hell.

You really have to see for yourself to find out what the situation is.

This made Yang Meng more curious about that side, originally they planned to go to Saiyin Shanda first, but now the group decided to change the route and go directly to Ulaanbaatar!

Leaving Zamyn-Uud and continuing on the road, I don't know what's wrong, Yang Meng actually remembered the feeling of being in the suburbs of Las Vegas: here is a straight road, on both sides of the endless prairie, the horses graze on the side of the road, and there are almost no buildings except for the occasional few telephone poles or one or two yurts.

At first, I was quite interested in looking at the scenery, but this way down more than 700 kilometers and eight or nine hours of driving, it is called a boring. There is always an endless road along the way, and there is never a steppe on both sides。。。。。。

Thankfully, they have walkie-talkies, otherwise the journey would have been boring!

It is not a blow to say that it is boring here, they pass through three counties, and the area is larger than that of Henan Province, but the population is less than 7,000! Most of them still live in county seats。。。。。。

More than 70 percent of the entire Outer Mongolia is a no-man's land, and at least half of it is a place that human beings have never set foot in! Including the Outer Mongolians themselves.

Don't look at the fact that the Mongolian people are one of the races in the world that can adapt to the extreme natural environmental conditions, and in this way they do not dare to enter the Great Gobi Desert themselves! Those so-called Mongolian people living in the Gobi only live in the remote areas of the Great Gobi in Outer Mongolia and not in the hinterland.

Of course, every year there are people who are not afraid of death who want to cross the Great Gobi, well, especially foreigners, but so far, no one has succeeded in conquering there, but there are many skeletons of people who want to conquer there.

"Nisgebari, how does it feel like this road is half repaired?" Yang Meng took the walkie-talkie and asked, "Why is this getting worse the closer you get to Ulaanbaatar Road?"

"Oh, the road we are taking now is the road from Ulaanbaatar to Joyle, which was contracted by the Han State Company, but during the acceptance, the Outer Mongolians found a foreign supervisor to find all kinds of nitpicking, and finally judged that it was unqualified, so that the Han State Company lost a mess, and the Han people lost a mess and did not repair it, and this road was like this. Han people often do business in Outer Mongolia, so it's good to get used to it!"

"I'll go. ”
