"The polls are going very well, and the news is that two-thirds of the surveys have been completed, and the results show that 98 percent are satisfied with the enemy government, the remaining 2 percent feel that the imperial government can do better, and only about a few are dissatisfied with the status quo because they have no jobs and the enemy country is too slow to industrialize. The www.biquge.info satisfaction with the new currency is still very high, basically everyone is willing to use the new currency, its convenience is the most satisfying, and the complaint point is that the waterproof is not good enough. Ma Sanru said the results of the investigation in one breath, and the overall results were still very satisfactory.

Wang Sirui nodded lightly, obviously expecting this result.

The people complain about the problem of waterproof banknotes, this is actually a helpless thing, the paper is not waterproof, although some people are complaining, but as an empire, they have done a good job, it doesn't matter if the coins are wet and the color is lost, as long as they can be recognized, they can be exchanged in full in the bank, and the mutilated banknotes are not more than one-fifth, they can be exchanged in full, which relieves the tension of the people to a certain extent.

Of course, in order to prevent the emergence of patchwork banknotes, on the new imperial coins, there are four identical coin codes at both ends and in the center, as long as these four or several codes on the banknotes are different, they cannot be exchanged, and the current anti-counterfeiting technology can not do higher requirements, so only this minimum anti-counterfeiting measure can be used.

The issuance of war bonds, in fact, the process is not difficult, and the operation is not difficult, but whether it is successful or not, this is not necessarily, the most difficult place is the credibility of the empire, whether the people are willing to believe in the empire.

According to Wang Sirui's plan, the war bond will be the same as the imperial currency, with a circulation effect, and the people can use the bond to conduct direct transactions within the validity period, the amount and value are the same as the imperial currency, and even you can take a dollar imperial currency to buy something, and the war bond that can be found for you can be five cents.

And the two are interconnected, the people can go to the bank and other issuing institutions to exchange unconditionally, this is the real difficulty, once the war bonds begin to promote, the first round of targets must be those factories, then they will even use war bonds as wages to pay, if the people trust, then they can directly take the bonds as money to spend, if not, they will swarm into the bank to exchange the imperial currency.

The difference between the two is that bonds are temporary money, while Imperial Coins are permanent money, so the former will inevitably give people a feeling of unreliability.

In order to solve the problem of people's distrust, Wang Sirui even racked his brains to come up with more solutions, for example, according to the different terms of the bonds, after the maturity of the people, the people can take the bonds in their hands to the bank to exchange the imperial currency that exceeds the face value of the bonds as interest, and the specific interest is positioned according to the different terms of the bonds, ranging from 1% to 10%.

But this will inevitably affect normal exchanges, and some people are even willing to give priority to spending imperial coins, and put away the bonds in their hands and wait for the maturity to eat interest, but this doesn't matter, as long as someone is willing to buy it, what is it to pay more interest after a few years?

Another measure is to require all localities to notify all shops and merchants in the form of administrative orders that they must accept war bonds as currency for use, and anyone who violates the rules can report them, and after verification, administrative penalties will be imposed and certain rewards will be given to whistleblowers.

Of course, then again, what Wang Sirui is most afraid of is that the people don't trust him, so he will swarm to squeeze it, which will be really troublesome.

But the problem was beyond his control, and the only thing he could do now was to eliminate the problem as much as possible to ensure that the plan would succeed, or to order the printing of money to accept inflation to cope with the huge war costs.

"You must investigate this matter as soon as possible, and you must also strictly guard against some people with bad intentions from making trouble from it." After a long time, Wang Sirui could only ask Ma Sanru to prepare for this matter in a safe way for the time being.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanru responded that he actually didn't have much say in this matter, and even many departments didn't have the right to speak, after all, it was a matter of economic responsibility, and no one wanted to intervene indiscriminately.

Ma Sanru slowly retreated, but when he was at the door, he happened to meet Wang Shizhen who came to meet the saint, and after the two nodded slightly, Wang Shizhen entered the study, which can also be called Wang Sirui's office.

"Your Majesty, the special envoy of Brazil met with the minister yesterday, and the other party made an invitation for the empire to send one million immigrants to Brazil, please make it clear to your majesty." Wang Shizhen cut straight to the point.

"Oh? Brazil invites us to emigrate over? Wang Sirui instantly became excited, immigrating to Brazil, that is a great opportunity.

Historically, Brazil invited the Qing Dynasty to immigrate one million as early as the end of the nineteenth century, but at that time, the Manchu court still thought that it was the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire and looked down on Brazil, and Brazil also put forward three conditions, which were considered by the rulers to be the face of the imperial court, so they directly rejected the invitation of the Brazilians.

After seeing that the world's most populous country refused to immigrate, Brazilians could only look at neighboring Japan, but the Japanese authorities immediately agreed to the Brazilians' request and agreed to immigrate 300,000 people to Brazil, and last year a passenger ship carrying 781 people left Brazil, becoming the first Japanese immigrants to Brazil.

At this time, the total population of Brazil was only about 10 million, and the huge territory made Brazil's labor force obviously insufficient, and it made the authorities even more struggling. That's why all the countries invited from all over the world to immigrate there, and all those who agree to immigrate must accept three conditions, the first is that they must join the Brazilian nationality, the second is that they must bring their families there, bachelors can't go, and the third is that they must be people in agriculture and industry, and unemployed vagrants are not accepted.

However, after the setback of the Qing Dynasty, Brazil relaxed the conditions in Japan a little, even if they were unemployed vagrants, but on the surface they did not accept them, and the Japanese government saved the face of the two countries after some operation.

Wang Sirui has always hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty for missing an excellent opportunity to control the Americas, and with the habits of the Chinese, there are one million people there, or it will develop in a few years, which is definitely not comparable to other peoples. Although the conditions were indeed harsh and disgraced, it must be denied that China did miss the best opportunity to control the Americas.

However, what Wang Sirui didn't expect was that the opportunity came again.

"Yes, the minister has asked someone to understand, this is the second time Brazil has invited us, the last time was in the previous dynasty, but because the conditions were too harsh, it was rejected by the previous dynasty, and this time Brazil also put forward the corresponding conditions, but it was much more lenient than the last time, so the minister was not in a hurry to refuse them." Wang Shizhen responded.

"What are the conditions?" Wang Sirui's interest is rough, Nima is not to mention the harsh conditions, even the conditions ten years ago, Wang Sirui will not hesitate to agree.

Seeing that Wang Sirui was so concerned about this matter, Wang Shizhen's attitude couldn't help but become rigorous, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "The first condition remains the same, immigrants must join Brazil International. The second condition, which was slightly changed, allowed to admit no more than five percent of bachelors, and the third condition, which received some merchants, in addition to peasants and workers, was also accepted, but mainly industrial merchants. As for the number of immigrants, it is still a million. ”

Wang Sirui nodded secretly, the conditions have not changed much, but compared with ten years ago, this condition is still a lot more relaxed, and it is not unacceptable, but just this condition is far from meeting Wang Sirui's requirements.

And immigration will also be the main goal of domestic work in the future, just the large territory occupied by Russia in the north, it will require a lot of peasant immigrants, of course, this is not considered immigration, because those places will be included in the territory of the Chinese Empire, can only be regarded as domestic resettlement.

And immigration to Brazil, this is related to strategic layout, and since it involves the four words strategic layout, how can there be a lack of troops among immigrants?

"The matter of immigration to Brazil can be considered, but it must not be completely on their terms, this matter can be discussed, and in principle we agree to their conditions, but for the sake of immigration, the empire must add several conditions. First, the number of immigrants is 2 million, second, the empire has the right to participate in the resettlement of these immigrants, and third, the empire will send 50,000 troops to protect the immigrants militarily, in principle, the army sent by the empire will abide by the laws of Brazil, and the daily activities will be limited to the barracks, and the management and security of the Chinese area will still be the responsibility of the Brazilian side. That's the bottom line. Wang Sirui also put forward three conditions, and among the three conditions, the first two are not a big problem, even if there is a problem, the first one may attract the attention of the Brazilian authorities, but the third condition, the Brazilian side is likely to refuse.

But even if he refuses, Wang Sirui will agree to immigrate to Brazil, the strategic significance is too great, once the Chinese have formed influence in Brazil, then Brazil will become a satellite of the Chinese Empire, and Brazil's geographical location is also very good, going north can directly attack Venezuela, the oil power, and at the same time can also provide closer support to Mexico there, or pose a threat to the United States.

Although Wang Sirui does not want to start a war with the United States, this kind of preparation is still necessary, and he can't let Americans stay so comfortable in the Americas, always picking peaches behind their backs. Mr. Wang had been plotting to find an adversary for the Americans in order to delay their efforts and distract them from the wars elsewhere, a strategy that would be almost half the battle if immigration to Brazil was successful.
