Chapter 122 Enactment of the Immigration Act Takeover of the Arabian Peninsula

Zhang Zhimu has not forgotten that there is another very important thing to invite the emperor to come here today, that is, to ask the emperor to issue an edict and issue an immigration decree. Zhang Zhimu had already discussed this matter with Li Yan.

Feeling that the opportunity was almost over, Li Yan said: "Mr. Zhang, everyone! I think a lot of our construction work is very important, but I still think that it is not a big problem for our country to be sooner or later. I do think that there is an urgent task now to stabilize the frontier and stabilize the new area. If we want long-term peace and stability, we must have our military and civilians in the new area and frontiers. However, as the living standards of our people are getting higher and higher, I am afraid that we are not willing to immigrate. Therefore, I believe that our long-discussed immigration policy cannot be postponed any longer, and must be implemented as soon as possible. ”

Ouyang He understood Zhang Zhimu's thoughts very well, and immediately followed: "Mr. Zhang, this matter really can't be delayed any longer!" In the past, we had to consider that the impact of this matter was too large, and we considered the need for stability, but we never made up our minds to do this. At home, our regime is now very stable. We must devote our energies to the frontiers and new districts! ”

Emperor Chongzhen also asked: "What Mr. Li Gongzi and Mr. Ouyang said is very right!" Why can't you make up your mind? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Mr. Ouyang said that what I used to consider was that this matter was too wide-ranging. Because our immigration policy is completely based on the number of people born in the family, any class must be involved. So this matter has been carefully considered. But I also think it's time for us to think about it. ”

Lu Chengxiang, who usually doesn't speak about such things, suddenly said: "Also, in the past few years, there have been too many births, and the increase in population is simply a little scary." ”

"Haha!"

Lu Chengxiang's words caused everyone to laugh. Everyone knows that now that life is better and they can afford to have children, people are not very restrained in their crotch, and it is not surprising that the population is growing rapidly.

Zhang Zhimu smiled and said, "Since everyone thinks that this matter needs to start immediately, then it will be decided today." We formulated our immigration policy on the grounds that it is for the sake of the stability of the country's borders, as well as the need for the country's population balance and social stability and development. After speaking, Zhang Zhimu said to Emperor Chongzhen: "But in this matter, we want to use the influence of the emperor, and we want to ask the emperor to issue a holy decree, and we will promulgate another law, and we must first issue the requirements to administrative officials at all levels." They will supervise the implementation, and we will go down to supervise and inspect the implementation on a regular basis. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was still very happy when he heard Zhang Zhimu say that he wanted to use his influence, "Okay, I will draft a holy decree and send it down." Let the world know that this is what I mean! ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that with the Holy Decree, those who wanted to oppose the current regime under the pretext could not find a reason.

"That's good! This matter is in charge of Li Gongzi (Li Yan)! The second uncle (Yan Xing) also administratively urged officials at all levels and asked them to strictly implement this decree! ”

Li Yan and Yan Xing both nodded and agreed.

Zhang Zhimu knew that this incident would definitely cause a lot of turmoil, "We still have to introduce supporting measures." For example, if some families do not want their relatives to be separated, if they are willing to emigrate with their families, we can also provide financial and material support, and we can also let them choose where to go. This policy also needs to be implemented in a demarcated area, and those who are originally in the border areas will not implement this decree. Also, if you take the initiative to ask for immigrants, you should also give a good subsidy. ”

Chen Yufeng added: "If there are families who are soldiers, don't implement this either!" ”

"That's right! I agree with that! Zhang Zhimu said.

Fan Chengkun said: "We have long implemented a migration policy in Nanyang that is intended to limit the local indigenous population. Where are we going to arrange for the people who have emigrated out there? ”

"It's too north, they can't adapt to the climate. We are very short of people in the northeast, where the Songliao Grand Canal project is in full swing, and it is at a time when a large number of people are needed. There is also a large area of black soil over there that also needs to be reclaimed, and people are also needed! Lu Bingyi said.

"Hey, hey!" Yan Boju squeezed his little eyes and said, "Those Burmese captives are not alive and well in Liaodong now!" ”

"Yes! People are very adaptable. As long as they have warm clothes and a warm place to live in winter, they can stay warm! In my opinion, let's arrange them to Liaodong first! Chen Yufeng said.

"I think it's settled!" Zhang Zhimu affirmed Chen Yufeng's opinion.

This matter of immigration is really a matter of long-term peace and stability in the newly occupied areas in the future. After making up his mind today, Zhang Zhimu also felt relaxed in his heart.

At this time, Lu Bingyi spoke, "Mr. Zhang, everyone! I just came back from the construction site on the other side of Tianshui. Our largest project, the diversion of water across the Qinling Mountains, is progressing very quickly and far beyond our original expectations. This is due to the efforts of our construction team, as well as their increasingly mature and experienced construction technology, and also due to the fact that more of our construction machinery is thrown up. At present, the first-level reservoirs on both sides of the Qinling Mountains are already in normal use, and the second- and third-level reservoirs that started at the same time are also progressing very rapidly. I feel that it is time for me to build the Huicheng (basin) reservoir at the highest level. This is the key to our water diversion project, and the workload is also the largest and the most difficult. I want to wait for the completion of our Huicheng (basin) reservoir, and the other cascade reservoirs will also be completed. ”

"Since the progress of the project has reached this stage, this matter does not need to be studied, just start working. However, this reservoir is not a small amount of work, and it is more than 100 kilometers long! Zhang Zhimu said.

"The difficulty of this reservoir is not a big problem, it needs to block several mountain passes, all of which are very high dams. There are also several large tunnels that can cross ships, and it is not easy to excavate. Lu Bingyi said, "I took a look at the personnel, there is no need to increase too much, now we have a lot of construction machinery and vehicles, and the prisoners and migrant workers on the reservoir construction site can be completely separated from a part of the construction site, and almost the migrant workers can also be found from the local area." However, this project requires a strong leader, who not only understands the technology, but also coordinates the surrounding areas to cooperate with the work. At present, Mr. Tang Jingrao is not only responsible for the water conservancy projects in the whole country, but also the main energy is also at the Sanmenxia Reservoir construction site, so he simply cannot spare much energy to manage such a large reservoir project. Then there are some submerged reservoir areas that need to be resettled, and these things need to be carefully studied! ”

"What Mr. Lu said is really important, and I think a general is really needed to be in charge of this." Zhang Zhimu turned his head to Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He and said, "I need to borrow troops from Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang!" ”

"Huh! Zhang always wants to borrow General Li Wei? Ouyang He asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhimu said, "In this matter, I think Li Wei needs to coordinate this matter." He could take sappers to participate in the opening of mountains and tunnels. There are several mountain passes, which need to be blocked by directional blasting. I think Li Wei is suitable! ”

"Hmmm! Li Wei can do this! Using ** is his forte! Chen Yufeng said with certainty that he also agreed to this matter.

"That's good! Since Uncle Chen and Mr. Ouyang have no opinion, Li Wei will come back and temporarily be under the command of Mr. Lu! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Hey! Where can I command General Li Wei, just have General Li Wei go to the construction site and be fully responsible for coordination! Lu Bingyi said, "Through the construction of these cascade reservoirs, the team has been well trained, and we have made good personnel preparations for the completion of the Huicheng (basin) reservoir." There are a few places where General Li Wei can go over to see if he can use the method of directional blasting for construction, and he is an expert in this area. If we can use the blasting method, the amount of earthwork in our project can be greatly reduced. ”

"The matter of immigration, the second uncle (Yan Xing) and Mr. Lu are in charge!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Try to make the lives of immigrants better than before!" There is no shortage of silver here! ”

"Hmm!"

"Good!"

Lu Chengxiang and Yan Xing both agreed!

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the people of Yaogang discussed things and studied problems so efficiently, and he admired these people even more in his heart.

As soon as this matter was finished, Concubine Zhuang interjected and said, "General Zhou Yuji is not back now, I will say a few words for him." Our railway from Naturalization (Hohhot) to Beihai (Lake Baikal) will also be able to complete the double-track track laying next year. I heard that there has also been progress in the exploration of coal and iron ore in the north. Isn't it time to study the canal between the Beihai (Lake Baikal) and the Heilongjiang River next year? ”

"The team we sent to explore the geology and hydrology between the Beihai and Heilongjiang rivers has not yet completed its work," Lu explained. We need a detailed argument. When their plan comes out, we should start working on it right away. In this way, all kinds of resources in the north can be easily transported! This will also have a great effect on local development. ”

Yoo Sung-huang said: "I have a suggestion that our aircraft, especially passenger planes, are being test-flew. I think it's a very promising career. Ouyang He has already urged the construction of many airports in various localities. I think that the airfield that is being built now can be used for both military and civilian purposes in the future. My suggestion is that we should build airfields in a purposeful and planned manner throughout the country, and that they will soon be usable. I think it's time to get started with the training of airport managers. An airport needs communication and navigation, as well as a station and many other administrators, and they all need professionals, and we are not allowed to prepare now! ”

Ouyang He said: "Commander Liu's suggestion is very good! I'll just raise my hands in favor! ”

Yan Boju said: "Mr. Ouyang raised his hands in favor, who is against it?" No? Even if it's passed! ”

"Hah!" A burst of laughter, followed by a round of applause. Yoo Sung-hun's proposal was passed.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Commander Liu will come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible, and we will discuss it at the end!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Chenghuang responded.

Fan Chengkun said: "Next year, there is another big thing, I need to say that we want to build a port in the Mediterranean. This is something we didn't plan for. Need to add! ”

This matter passed without a hitch!

Kiln Gang is celebrating the New Year this year, and the material is very rich. Especially the seafood that was rarely seen by Shaanxi people in the past, it was very complete. Because refrigerated train cars and cargo ships with refrigerated cabins have been put into use, and many cold stores have been built in coastal ports, seafood that cannot be sold is frozen when it is fresh. It's time for the Spring Festival. TV and radio newspapers, and there are a lot of food programs about seafood. This also boosts the sales of seafood.

People's requirements for the Spring Festival Gala are getting higher and higher, Xiao Hongyu was a little worried, and pulled Zhang Zhimu to ask him to come up with ideas.

Zhang Zhimu took the time to teach those few dancers to dance street dance, which they had never been exposed to, and they all felt that they were not popular. But they learned some of the movements, and when they did them together, they saw things differently. Especially with some robot-like movements, Xiao Hongyu bent over with a smile and said: "This year's show is guaranteed to be popular!" ”

This is not enough, Zhang Zhimu racked his brains and remembered some songs, such as "The Most Romantic Thing", "Anyone Who Drinks Love Has to Get Drunk", "Because of Love", "When I Miss You When It's Red".

Xiao Hongyu felt that it was not enough, and Zhang Zhimu knew that she wanted to dig out more songs from herself.

Zhang Zhimu told Xiao Hongyu that he just needs to release a few good songs every time. It's good to have one or two good songs at a Spring Festival Gala and sing them at the end.

At night, when she was with Xiao Hongyu, Xiao Hongyu suddenly said to Zhang Zhimu: "I now kind of believe what you say!" ”

"What?"

"You said, how did you cross over! I have some faith now, otherwise how could you make up so many beautiful songs by yourself. We write so many songs, but we haven't written a few good songs. You can take out a song and sing it. And it's all heart-wrenching! Little Hongyu said.

Zhang Zhimu knew that the songs he hummed were all popular in his previous life, where could those people in this era write them.

Seeing that Xiao Hongyu was very serious, Zhang Zhimu said: "Actually, there is another song, I thought about it and didn't sing it to you." ”

"What's the song? Why? "Little Ruby immediately came to her senses.

"There is a song that everyone must like, called "Love Jiangshan and Love Beauty More". But there are a few lyrics in it, I'm afraid that the emperor will be unhappy when he hears it, so I didn't sing it to you! ”

"Sing it for me first!" Little Hongyu stubbornly wanted to listen to this song.

Zhang Zhimu whispered to Xiao Hongyu.

Among them, it is sung, "Love the country and love the beauty more".

After hearing this, Xiao Hongyu said, "Oops! This song is so good, it will definitely go popular! But the phrase 'love the country and love the beauty more' can really make the emperor uncomfortable. But it's such a good song, it's not good to change this sentence! I don't think it's anything, maybe the emperor can like this song more! This song is very catchy, and it will be taken out later in the party! ”

"Hey! I said, are you really going to get it to the party? ”

"Nothing fake! I can't forget the songs I remembered! It's too late if you want to object! Hehe! After Xiao Hongyu finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Zhimu with straight eyes and smiled.

Xiao Hongyu is definitely a genius in this regard, and she can memorize the tunes that Zhang Zhimu has hummed casually. So it's not strange for Xiao Hongyu to say that she remembers Zhang Zhimu.

Now the kiln gang people organize the party, and the level has improved too much. Needless to say, the original Yaogang Song and Dance Troupe, as well as the Military Art Troupe, the Opera Troupe, and now there are more national song and dance troupes, Yaogang Opera Troupes, and Yaogang Acrobatic Troupes. There are also conservatory students. The stage lighting and sound effects are much more advanced. In terms of musical instruments, with the addition of electric guitars and electronic organs, the performance effect has been improved to an unexpected height.

The people of Yaogang and the people of the whole country were happily living the New Year, and the fleet in the west and Sun Chuanting and Li Kui were unable to celebrate the New Year.

The Yaogang fleet passed through the Turkish Strait and entered the Mediterranean, and Sun Chuanting, Li Kui, and the Ottoman envoys also took the army on the road.

This time, Sun Chuanting and the Ottomans redrew the dividing line from the Hachans River directly south to Karatash.

Sun Chuanting and the Yaogang fleet met at Karatash. Since this is still a small wharf, the big boat can't get close at all, Mu Yi and Zheng Zhilong, who arrived first, heard that Sun Chuanting and Li Kui had arrived, and they came to this wharf in a small boat. There are still Ottoman soldiers standing guard here, and thanks to the presence of Ottoman envoys, the Yaogang people are well received.

It was at this small pier that the Ottoman Empire read the orders of the Ottoman Sultan to the local officials, telling them that from now on, it would be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Neither the officials nor the representatives of the people here can accept this fact. One by one, they cried and cried.

Sun Chuanting stood up and said to them: "Everyone, I will be the chief executive here from now on!" I will do my best to serve everyone. I promise you that as long as you obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you will live a happy life. But if everyone can't accept the laws of our Ming Dynasty and are willing to leave here, we will try our best to make it easier. I also assure you that even if you are gone, you are welcome to come back whenever you want. ”

After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, the Yaogang soldiers took over from the Ottoman soldiers to stand guard on the dock.

After the two sides determined the demarcation line, Zheng Zhilong asked people to unload some reinforced concrete from the ship and build a reinforced concrete boundary post on the demarcation line.

Although the Ottoman officials, the common people, and the officers and soldiers were reluctant to accept this fact, the two sides were still very friendly during the handover, perhaps because the Ottoman envoy was here. Sun Chuanting and they stayed here for two days, leaving a part of the army and some officials to take over here. Because this is the seaside demarcation line, they want to build a border post here.

Mu Yi and Zheng Zhilong returned to the ship and headed south along the coast from land and sea. Sun Chuanting, Li Kui, and the Ottoman envoys led their troops south along the coast from land. The place they walked through will be the Ming Dynasty in the future. Sun Chuanting was very emotional along the way.

The Ottoman envoy said to Sun Chuanting in frustration: "Dear Lord Sun, this errand of mine is very sad!" My job has been done, and I have successfully handed over the land of our empire to you Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Excellency, you are wrong, since you negotiated and signed between us. The land here is our place! You just helped us get the job done. And not to give us the Ottoman lands. When your Sultan signed, it was handed over to us. You don't have to be frustrated with this work! Sun Chuanting said.
