In fact, Liu Weimin has thought a lot about the development of the East Coast colonies over the years. The rulers of the East Coast were not geniuses, in fact the vast majority of them were just ordinary people, and they had some vague and superficial notions of governing the country, which was obviously not enough.

So, when they have built such a large business from scratch - although they will grow in the process, they will also make mistakes in areas that they are not familiar with, that they do not understand, and often - whether it is domestic economic policy or the operation of overseas colonies.

Over the years, Liu Weimin has been thinking about the gains and losses of various policies on the east coast. The open and covert struggles within the Executive Committee, the discord between the civilian and military departments, the conflict between the interests of the sea and land factions within the military department, and the filthy disputes between the civil and military departments, the communications, the law, and the industrial parties could not affect his pace in pursuing a better way of governing the country.

The former head of the secondary school's political and educational office understood that his position as president was only the product of a compromise of interests of all parties, and that his own prestige and ability were not enough to enable him to ascend to such a high position. Therefore, he has always insisted on being kind to people, and he is a well-known gentleman among the bigwigs of the Executive Committee, who never refutes the bills put forward by all parties in an inappropriate manner, always takes into account the interests of all parties as much as possible, and acts as a lubricant in the factional struggle of the Executive Committee.

While doing a good job as an intermediary in reconciling the interests of all parties, Liu Weimin is also working hard to practice his own concept of governance. He was an old-fashioned peasant intellectual, who had always insisted that the Chinese peasants were the greatest, hard-working, tenacious, and at the same time somewhat philistine and shrewd. Simply the best person to open up a new continent. Therefore. In fact, he is the general backstage of the imperial Han faction and the immigrant faction in the East Coast. And not the high-profile radical officers who spend the day.

Liu Weimin himself was particularly concerned about the colonial management on the east coast, because he believed that the colony had a bearing on the living space and development potential of the entire country, and had to be taken seriously. In his mind, colonies were divided into two main categories: one was emigration, in which the people of the overlord country were constantly moving to these sparsely populated wilderness and then building them into new towns. For example, most of the mainland territories on the east coast can be regarded as this kind of colony, you must know that at the beginning, the people on the east coast were only limited to a few strongholds such as Dongfang Port and Ping'an Fort, and then slowly moved the pace of expansion to the entire Yazi Lake basin, the hilly area of Huxi, the jurisdiction of the Northwest Reclamation Bureau, the Uruguay River basin and so on. These areas were in fact colonies - of course, they are now becoming mainland.

The other kind of colony is defined by Liu Weimin as an investment colony, that is, the suzerain's main export of capital and technology to this kind of colony, rather than population export, is a bit of this meaning in the new China region on the east coast today. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the local government of the East Bank continued to withhold people from the Far East, and at the same time there were many resources that continued to be used on the East Coast, the colony might have been forced to abandon it because of huge losses.

Now, with some of the surplus capital in the East Coast being channeled into this fertile tropical land, the plantation owners of the East Coast, who had completed the initial primitive accumulation, began to show their talents, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the other hand, on the one hand, on the other hand, on the part of the slaves from abroad. They even took boats to the vicinity to capture the indigenous people who were more adapted to the tropical environment, all of which showed that the economic order on the East Coast was dominated by non-resident labor. Use the country's technology and capital to develop the economy, and then prosper the entire colony. This type of colony has the obvious characteristics of an investment colony, and the new China region now appears to be only politically and economically subordinate to the eastern shore of the suzerain.

When capitalism on the East Coast has developed to a certain extent in the future, and the construction of the new Chinese colonies has taken a small scale, the local people will surely find that their economy has been locked into agricultural and mineral products and their primary processing. With the advent of monopoly capitalism, the increasingly impoverished colonists were bound to take their anger out on the "vampires" from South America, and this was obviously one of the most important reasons for the colony's independence - especially when the colony's main inhabitants were not East coasters.

Liu Weimin insisted that whether the mainstream population of the colony was not the mainstream population of the overlord country was extremely crucial to the independence of the colony. Don't you see that the British colonies of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada did not have a strong desire for independence, but the vast number of Asian and African colonies became independent one after another? Moreover, if the United States had not had a special environment (a large land and abundant resources) and foreign forces to make trouble, it might not have much desire for independence.

Under such a line of thinking, Liu Weimin began to be extremely enthusiastic about the so-called "emigration to the colony", and was not very interested in the "investment colony" that could bring huge benefits even in a short period of time, and he had been promoting all the colonies of the country to strive to develop towards the emigration colony. In his view, this is a century-old plan that has a bearing on the living space of the nation, and it cannot be ignored.

The establishment of the Southern Railway Company, a colonial government agency disguised as a company, placed great expectations on him. He wanted to put into practice some of his ideas, such as the theory of railway migration, through the Guò Southern Railway, a large institution with all kinds of rights. That is, he believed that railways were the most able to mobilize the economic development of the region, to connect the region's economy more closely with the outside world, and to attract more immigrants to the region through the improvement of the standard of living in the Guò region.

Of course, this theory is of other use in the view of the railway immigration faction represented by Liu Weimin. For example, in the future, once the Republic of the East Bank was granted the right to build a railway in the more fertile region of La Plata, then the people of the East Bank could use the Guò Railway to transport more Far Eastern immigrants along the line, and then let them flourish there. After these people took root, they quickly became rich by selling the produce they produced to the local and even international markets on the east coast through their own industriousness, which was bound to have a greater demonstration effect, and then more people poured into this fertile virgin land along the railway, with the encouragement of the east bank government, and turned it into fertile fields and pastures with guò's own hoe.

It is a stopgap measure in the event that it is not possible to swallow the area of La Plata openly. The Spaniards did not have many people in this land, and after this war, the population was even more decimated, so as long as this land was crowded with yellow-skinned pagans from the Far East, what did it matter if the fertile land of La Plata belonged nominally for the time being?

Because all the rights and interests of this area have been taken away by the East Coast People's Guò Railway, and the local mainstream population is also the natives brought by the East Coast People's Guò Railway, coupled with the extraterritoriality that the East Coast government will definitely demand (that is, Spanish law does not apply to criminal or civil disputes involving East Coasters, and Spain must have East Coast judges and jurors to try East Coast expatriates, etc.), the Spanish rule in the La Plata region will become increasingly weak, and the local Spanish immigrants will also be bankrupt by the competition of the hard-working and tenacious Ming immigrants. Then, as soon as the international situation is favourable, the Government of the Republic of the East Bank will be able to pick the ripe fruit as a matter of course.

In the final analysis, these were a kind of encroachment and plundering of the backward Spanish agricultural colonies by relying on the high government efficiency of the East Coast Republic, as well as the superior industrial technology and production capacity, and with the backing of the relatively superior armed forces. Even at first, the Spaniards may not have realized that this was plundering, because the influx of Chinese peasants would lead to the rapid development of the local land, the economic situation would be greatly improved, the government taxes would increase, the profits of the merchants would soar, and the king's income would increase, almost a win-win situation. By the time the yellow-skinned pagans crowded around every railroad (the railroad was the lifeline of their products and goods, and in some cases the easiest way to mobilize their troops), the shape was already too much. The Spaniards had to deal with the dominant colonists who were at the behest of the neighboring government, and all they could do was admit a fait accompli and consider how to transfer the colony to the East Coast government in the hope of obtaining a little financial compensation.

Liu Weimin hopes that the Southern Railway Company can first practice in the southern Patagonia region, how to better commercialize agricultural products (grains, leather, animal fat, fish, wool, fruits, timber, etc.) in inland agricultural areas through the guò railway, better mobilize and even dominate the production and life of farmers in the area, and then form a wealth effect through the capitalization operation of guò, attracting more Ming immigrants to choose to go to these areas to reclaim land (of course, most of the early immigration is a compulsory arrangement by the government). Once this model is successful, it will be possible for the East Coast to replicate it in the La Plata region in the future.

Later, the Great Plains of north-central Argentina (including the fertile areas of the volcanic ash soils of northern Patagonia) and the world's top 10 areas of fertile virgin arable land were the ultimate goals of the people of the East Coast. This vast area has flat land, abundant precipitation, suitable temperature, fertile soil, very suitable for growing wheat, soybeans, cotton and fruits, and at the same time extremely rich in forest resources, and countless herds of bison roaming in the wilderness, suitable for grazing and farming, there are not too many such good places in the world, and there is no reason for people on the east coast to let go!

The best way for the people on the east coast to wedge into this place is undoubtedly to obtain the right to build roads here, and the Southern Railway Company, which should have grown substantially in strength, will surely achieve leapfrog development here and become a booster for the take-off of the East Coast Republic of China.
