Chapter 161: The New Deal for Refugees

In order to reduce unnecessary capital investment and increase the number of immigrants, the Executive Committee issued a document to the Hong Kong Overseas Consular Government, and there will be certain restrictions on the number of people and objects of assistance.

In order to limit this number, the maximum number of people who receive assistance each year has been reduced to 10,000, and the maximum number of people is not more than 20,000, which is simply not enough in terms of the current actual number, and the number of new people added every month is around 5,000.

If it is calculated according to 5,000 people a year, it is 60,000 people, of which at least 40,000 people cannot be rescued, these people need to be rescued by the local government of Daming, and the pressure on Shen Youlong will also be great.

For the gentry, money and food are fundamental, and even because of the arrival of Australians, they value food more seriously, because there are more people in need of relief in Australia, and the more food they need to consume, the more food they need to consume, and they can sell food to Australians.

The government of Hong Kong's outer sea has been aware of this situation, there are a lot of black money in the troubled times, and the current food prices in Daming are very high, which is not a good thing for the Australian government, even if Shen Yulong knows this situation, it will not be able to make those businessmen lower their prices.

In order to cope with the rise in food prices, Li Mengshi gave two conditional suggestions, one is to control the number of refugees and control food consumption, and the other is to suppress the grain price of Daming.

In fact, there are many channels for Hong Kong to purchase grain, and it can be purchased from places like Annam and Siam, and the price is much lower than that of Daming, just for convenience, and the price at that time is not very different, so I don't care about that little money.

Now it is different, the price difference is huge, and the decision of the Hong Kong overseas consular government to launch the grain procurement plan of the two places will be a big blow to those grain merchants who have raised prices.

In order to prepare for this grain price war, Li Mengshi has set off from China and went to Hong Kong to personally sit in the town, preparing to launch a war against Daming grain.

Of course, Shen Youlong also knew that the price of food had risen, but he could not shake the forces behind these businessmen, not to mention that he was the governor of Liangguang, even the senior members of the court had to consider it.

It's no wonder that Australians will reduce the number of bailouts, this price has risen, not to mention that people can't stand the money, and they definitely can't accept it in their hearts, to do good deeds, they were actually pitted by businessmen in your country, what does this make people think.

"Master Fei, what do you say about this matter, the Australians want to reduce the number of refugees rescued, we should come up with a charter, if you don't agree with them to increase the number of immigrants, there will definitely be a lot of refugees on the border between the two regions, and there will inevitably be an incident."

Master Fei, who has white hair and white beard, is shaking a folding fan and thinking at this time, he heard the conversation between Wu Zhengdao and Shen Youlong, and the decrease in the number of Australians also has a lot to do with the rise of local food in Daming.

Not to mention that these profiteers raise prices for Australians, they are also not soft on their own people, even if Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, makes his own move, I am afraid that there will be a lot of money.

"My lord, according to Fei's opinion, there are only two ways to solve this matter, one is to crack down on profiteers, and the other is to agree to the immigration of Australians, the former requires certain means, and may also be attacked by the ministers of the DPRK and China, so the latter is more appropriate."

Master Fei's method is still biased towards agreeing with the Australians, after all, this Australian has solved most of the refugee problems, and the security environment of the two Guangxi is also quite good, not to mention anything else, just the price of fifty taels of silver for each immigrant proposed by Australia, this white flower of silver will be in hand.

No matter how the money is used, it is also a good thing for the officials under the Liangguang Governor's Palace, and to unite the local officials, it is also necessary to come up with some means.

"It's just to increase the number of immigrants, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble when the old man will be pointed out." Shen Youlong was still more worried that the imperial court would blame him, but according to Master Fei's judgment, as long as he governed the two Guangzhous well, the imperial court would not have so much time to take care of these displaced people, and of course, the money collected would have to be sent to the imperial court, so it would be no big deal.

"My lord, Fei thinks it's okay, as long as the adults govern Liangguang well and send some of the collected silver to the court, they will definitely not be punished, but will be commended on the contrary."

The Australians did propose that they could give a settling-in allowance of 50 taels per immigrant to the Liangguang Governor's Palace, but Shen Youlong never dared to agree, always feeling that this was similar to human trafficking.

Of course, the Australians don't give him much time, if they don't agree, they will emigrate from Annan and other places, and there is no shortage of mouths here, which makes Shen Youlong have to be a little nervous.

If you agree, you will also find a way to get in and out for everyone, I hope they won't blame me Shen Youlong thought so in his heart, in fact, he already agreed with Master Fei's statement,

In fact, Master Fei was bought by Wu Zhengdao early in the morning, 10,000 taels of silver, let him blow the wind in front of Shen Youlong, and it was a good thing for the benefit of his compatriots, how could he not agree.

Seeing that Shen Youlong's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, Master Fei knew that this matter was basically done, not to mention anything else, as long as this matter was completed, 10,000 taels of silver would be in hand, and the benefits in the future would naturally be indispensable to him.

After Master Fei said goodbye to Shen Youlong, he came to the inn where Wu Zhengdao and the others stayed.

"Minister Wu, this matter has basically been completed, Your Excellency the Governor has agreed to your request, and I hope that your country can treat the villagers of Daming as promised."

"Master Fei, please rest assured, when the people of the Ming Dynasty enter our Australia, they are the people of Australia, and they will naturally be treated equally, and you don't need to worry about this at all."

"In this way, there is Minister Wu, I wish all the horses success here, and I won't stay here much."

Master Fei didn't dare to stay in the inn for long, for fear that others would know about the cooperation between him and the Australians, so he left without saying a few words.

Yang Yuzhou smiled and looked at the back of the little old man who was far away and smiled: "When the scholar also wants to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, my method is good, we can completely deviate from the line." ”

"Well, yes, your method is good, in modern times, this is called bribery, but it's different here, as long as the goal can be achieved, the means of electricity are not a big problem."
