Chapter 333: Forced Immigration

These tasks are mainly in charge of the Ministry of Water Resources, and Yuan Shikai only needs to assist from the side, but the task on his shoulders is far more than this, and the maintenance of normal maintenance alone can be called a daily opportunity, and some major matters make Yuan Shikai rack his brains.

One of the most difficult is the work of domestic immigration, which was done well in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, firstly, the Wehrmacht has gone from victory to victory and created a glorious image of invincibility, coupled with the great deterrence generated by a series of thunderbolt measures by the government of the Republic, and the people are generally more cooperative; The second is that the immigrants at that time basically went to receive the cultivated land that had been developed (mainly in the South Seas, and there were also some vacant land in the northeast and northwest that were vacated due to the suppression of the landlords). The pay is small and the income is large, and even the housing is ready-made, so there is no worry that no one wants to go.

But after a few years, the people in China found that Momen and the government were actually not so terrible, and those cruel methods were to deal with the enemy rather than the small people like themselves, and their fear was naturally greatly reduced, and they were not so obedient, especially those who dared to go out to explore the new world have basically left, and the rest are more traditional and relocated, and it is more difficult for them to emigrate to distant places than in previous years. What's more, after a few years have passed, the existing arable land has basically been divided, and the new immigrants either open up the land on their own, or march into the cantonment army to open up the wasteland, or give up farming to find other jobs, and the income is greatly reduced compared with the previous immigrants, so they are naturally less reluctant.

The government's forced migration for the purpose of building public facilities and accelerating ethnic integration has aroused strong resentment, and bloody clashes have even erupted in some areas where the people are stronger.

After Yuan Shikai took office, after careful investigation, it was found that it may be due to the lack of money when the People's Republic of China was founded, and the compensation was not only low, but also paid in installments, which was seriously unattractive. With Li Hui's consent, Yuan Shikai significantly increased the amount of compensation to the family's gross income for five years (gross income, not net income, multiplied by five based on the annual average of the previous three years). ), and the change to a one-time immediate payment suddenly increased the appeal. As soon as there are many people who are willing to emigrate, those nail households will lose the protection of "the law does not hold the public accountable", and they can directly commit felonies to make an example of chickens and monkeys.

As for those "Diao people settlements" with a strong sense of clustering, who are reluctant to move their nests no matter what, and even violently coerce insiders to advance and retreat with everyone, refuse to accept government arrangements, and are difficult to settle by economic interests alone, Yuan Shikai once again showed his ruthless side. Anyway, there are not many such extreme examples, compared to China's 500 million people, it is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and it is simply suppressed for a hundred, and it saves the trouble of leaving it to future generations.

Although Yuan Shikai's ruthlessness caused a lot of criticism in a short period of time, it did succeed in fulfilling Li Hui's expectations, as long as the compensation was given according to the regulations and the new job was arranged, the Chinese people became accustomed to moving, not to mention moving at home, even if they were asked to move abroad, no one dared to resist anymore. If this were not the case, China's good deed of emigrating millions to the three Persian Gulf countries would not have been possible at all.

If he took the money and moved there, and then immediately secretly moved back by himself, or moved to a place where the government did not want him to go, then Yuan Shikai's approach would become a big joke. Therefore, at the same time as the forced move, the government of the Republic has also strengthened the management of household registration, not only if you want to move, but also if you want to move, you can move, which has long been criticized by the Western media as **** unfree, but in the more than 20 years since it came into effect, the imbalance of China's economic development has been completely changed, and the damage to the ecological environment is much smaller than during the Western Industrial Revolution, which has greatly accelerated the process of national integration and greatly strengthened the internal cohesion. It has cleared the hidden danger for China's long-term prosperity and strength in the future.

The second is diplomatic work, with China's current prestige, it is not difficult to make the Western powers dare not raise troops to attack, but it is not so easy to get the Western powers to change their attitude towards China. Fortunately, the West pursues profits, and as long as some interests are thrown out, they will take the initiative to come up like flies smelling a stench. However, Li Hui has to guard in this matter, and he absolutely cannot let out those who have done great damage to China or can significantly enhance the strength of the Western powers.

Take the transfer of technology as an example, although the pressure from the West is very great, the government of the Republic has always been like squeezing toothpaste, transferring one by one, and the technology that the West is about to master is still selected, not to mention the limited help for it, it has also affected the enthusiasm of Western enterprises for independent research and development, and at the same time, it has also returned a lot of funds, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In terms of opening up the domestic market, China has only increased the import of grain and some industrial raw materials, although the Western capitalists have benefited a lot, but in terms of national strength, they have not benefited from it, on the contrary, because the high price of food has made the life of the people at the bottom of the economic crisis more difficult, and the rising cost of raw materials has forced Western companies to further reduce the wages of employees (because raising the price of goods in the economic crisis is looking for death, except for a few monopoly goods). ), which has led to a further exacerbation of the problem of insufficient purchasing power in Western countries.

As a result, the world economic crisis that erupted in 1890 (in Germany, the first of the crises) was as slow as a chronic disease, and even though the world powers increased their armaments, increased employment (and thus consumption), and coincided with the timing of the second scientific and technological revolution, it still lasted for more than a decade, a new record in human history.

Because of this, the misguided economic crisis of 1890, although less severe than the historical economic crisis of 1929, caused no less damage than the Great Depression.

If the price level in Britain is calculated year-on-year, the total industrial output of the world in 1899 was 9.8% lower than in 1889, on the eve of the crisis.

However, it is worth mentioning that due to the influence of the second scientific and technological revolution, the labor productivity of heavy industry has increased by leaps and bounds during this period, so even in the midst of the crisis, the production and sales of these industrial sectors have still increased by a large margin, with a few percent or a number of times, and some new industries have even increased by more than ten times. Then it is obvious that the only thing that can be delayed is traditional light industry such as textiles...... (To be continued.) )
