The domestic political situation is chaotic, and the impact on Qin Zhiyuan is still there.

In fact, since July, the scale of imported laborers from the north of the Republic of China through the Beiyang government has begun to shrink day by day, and by October, there were only more than 4,000 people left in a month, which is half less than at the beginning of the year.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan still has Borneo as an import channel, Huang Bohan works very efficiently, and can ensure that nearly 10,000 people go to the ocean every month, and so far, there are more than 100,000 Chinese on Corsica.

Of these 100,000 people, more than half are children, and the rest are women and children and young people under the age of 35.

This figure does not include the French on the island, nor the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, which would now have a population of more than 200,000 people if all the Chinese soldiers of the Foreign Legion had returned to Corsica.

In fact, it is far from reaching the limit, Corsica has a population of 330,000 in the 21st century, and if the survival capacity of the Chinese is followed, even if Corsica increases to 500,000 people, there is no problem.

Qin Zhiyuan is actually responsible for the eating, drinking, and sleeping of these 150,000 people, and the monthly consumption of materials alone is more than 3,000 tons, of which there is a large proportion of meat and egg food, that is, Qin Zhiyuan supported left and right some time ago, and opened up financial resources, so that he could persevere.

However, after the successful development of penicillin, this dilemma will be greatly improved.

The benefits of penicillin are so high that there is no problem with a tenfold increase in the size of immigration. What's more, Corsica already has fishing boats and orchards, and it can solve part of the food itself, so in the future, the food problem will take a back seat, and the development of Corsica is about to enter the fast lane.

In fact, the current rate is fast enough, the inhabitants of Corsica are indeed only 150,000, but at the same time there are nearly 100,000 laborers from North Africa and German prisoners of war, who work every day, especially German prisoners of war.

When the prisoners of war arrived in Corsica, they immediately went to work, perhaps because they were grateful that they were better cared for in Corsica than in mainland France, or perhaps because of the special requirements of Crown Prince William, who worked with a level of concentration and efficiency comparable to that of the Chinese.

In fact, in terms of education level, the general education level of German prisoners of war far exceeded that of the Chinese, and almost most of them received secondary education, a small number of them received university education, and even had the level of joining research institutes as "scientific research dogs".

These people received special preferential treatment, and when Long Chengxuan and Long Chengyuan, who had studied in Germany, came forward to invite, German prisoners of war who had received higher education joined the institute and became supernumerary staff members of the institute.

This process was very smooth, because among the German prisoners of war, there were actually classmates of Long Chengxuan and Long Chengyuan at the University of Aachen, and it became logical to continue the frontier.

Lu Zhengxiang was disappointed in the end, not because Qin Zhiyuan was unwilling to open the penicillin factory in China, but because of the domestic situation, even if the factory was opened, I am afraid it would not be able to be put into production smoothly.

The Beiyang government is in danger, the northern and southern provinces are in flames, and the Republic of China, which seems to be a vast land and rich resources, can not even find a pure land, which is really embarrassing.

The penicillin factory is indeed making money, but I am afraid that if I enter the country, I will immediately become a golden doll that everyone is vying for, and it will cause more trouble.

Although the conditions for setting up a factory are not yet available, Qin Zhiyuan still made a promise that once the conditions are ripe, Qin Zhiyuan will open a factory to produce penicillin in the Republic of China, and will also start to enter heavy industry.

If the country wants to rise, it would be a joke if there was no heavy industry, especially steel and oil, these two things, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely get his hands on them. Only by establishing a complete industrial system can the Republic of China have initial competitiveness and get rid of the control of Western countries.

At present, Qin Zhiyuan is working on the talent reserve in this area.

In the steel mill where the old Renault has already started production, there are nearly 1,000 Chinese workers distributed in all links from mineral processing to steelmaking. After two years, these Chinese workers will become skilled workers, and the better of them will even become engineers, and when these Chinese workers return to the Republic of China, they will immediately be able to support a steel plant.

Such a manpower layout is also applicable to the old Renault's weapons production workshop.

It can be said that perhaps the Chinese workers sent by Qin Zhiyuan to the old Renault factory lack design ability, but in terms of production, their technology is not much worse than that of the old employees in the Renault factory, and even in terms of work enthusiasm and labor intensity.

Because of the limited level of education, the Chinese started at a relatively low level, but once the Chinese adapted, the learning ability that broke out was indeed surprising.

There is an old saying among the Chinese, called: Art is not pressing.

This fully reflects the attitude of the Chinese people towards technology or skills.

It is precisely because of this that the old Renault will value the human resources in Qin Zhiyuan's hands.

Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang chatted to the end, and couldn't help but send an invitation to Lu Zhengxiang, inviting Lu Zhengxiang to go to Corsica and serve as the chief executive of Corsica.

Lu Zhengxiang hesitated again and again, but still declined Qin Zhiyuan's invitation.

It's not that Lu Zhengxiang doesn't want to join Corsica, it's actually that Lu Zhengxiang is currently serving as the ambassador of the Beiyang government to France, if he resigns and defects to Qin Zhiyuan at this time, even if he has a great future, it may lead to Qin Zhiyuan and the Beiyang government.

This is what Lu Zhengxiang never wants to see now.

Although he was rejected by Lu Zhengxiang, Qin Zhiyuan didn't care.

Everything is a matter of course, since Qin Zhiyuan has expressed goodwill, presumably Lu Zhengxiang will remember Qin Zhiyuan's favor even if he refuses, and once the time is right, Lu Zhengxiang will naturally consider this matter.

Just when Corsica was gradually getting on the right track and the situation of Sidi Bel Abbas was beginning to unfold, the contradictions in Borneo finally erupted.

October is the season of autumn, the sun is shining, and the sea breeze is salty.

Gu Xingbang and Ma Gaojie led a company of umbrella company security guards to board the ship from Penglai Island and go to Surabaya to take over the shift for a month.

Penglai Island is the secret base of the umbrella company, which was originally a desert island, with an extremely awkward Javanese name, Zhang Tianshou and Qin Haoge After they arrived in Borneo, they disliked the original name and changed it to "Penglai Island".

Penglai Island was originally an uninhabited desert island, with fresh water resources on the island and a large area of plains, but because of its remote location, it has not been developed.

There are countless such islands in Borneo.

After Zhang Tianshou and Qin Haoge led the Chinese to land on Penglai Island, they spent three months blowing up the barren beach with strange rocks and rocks and establishing a military training base. Fifty or sixty hectares of wasteland were also successfully reclaimed and planted with grain, vegetables, and fruit trees to meet some of the needs.

Now Penglai Island has a camp that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, and there is also a large processing plant to produce bullets, explosives and other consumables.

Zhang Tianshou and Qin Haoge have been in Borneo for more than half a year, and in this half year, they have built camps and factories, and trained the first batch of "security guards" with the local Chinese children of Borneo and those miners hired from the Republic of China as the backbone.

Although the local Chinese in Borneo are obsessed with business, after all, there are some people who have not lost their blood, and they can no longer bear the oppression of the Dutch and the shamelessness of the aborigines.

As for the miners in the mines, they were born to be the best fighters, strong, loyal, and disciplined, and as long as they were organized and trained in a targeted manner, they were at least no worse than the Kumamoto miners of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army.

These local Chinese characters and miners have been trained for nearly four months, almost from two months ago, they went to Huang Bohan, Huang Jinsheng, **** Mao and others in batches to undertake the task of defending the mines, the effect is very good, although the tax to the Dutch still has to be paid, but the extortion of the local people has almost disappeared.

Gu Xingbang and Ma Gaojie went to Huang Bohan's plantation in Surabaya to take charge of the security work, and Gu Xingbang called this "Shanggong".

Penglai Island is about 150 kilometers away from Surabaya, and it takes about three hours to reach Surabaya by taking the small steamer provided by Huang Bohan.

"Old Gu, do you think Boss Huang's appetite is too big? His plantation in Surabaya is now more than 2,000 hectares, if he buys another 5,000 hectares, won't all the land in Surabaya be bought by Boss Huang? At the bow of the boat, Ma Gaojie and Gu Xingbang whispered.

"Why don't you buy it and keep it? Seeing those natives abandon the wilderness? The boundaries around Surabaya are bigger, not to mention 5,000 hectares, 50,000 dumps you can't be enough, that is, in the hands of these natives who don't move their buttocks with whips, if it were in our hometown, it would have been all fucking wasteland, believe it or not! Gu Xingbang's face was unladylike, and he hated the roots of his teeth when he thought of those natives.

"Turen" refers to the aborigines of Borneo, who can be called the laziest people in the world, guarding the land three times a year, but always living a hungry and full life, they would rather beg the Chinese than go to the wasteland to farm.

Begging is a common occurrence, and for the Chinese living in Borneo, the aborigines here are like beggars. In many cases, Chinese people with relatively good family backgrounds will give more or less in the face of the begging of the natives, but there are times when they do not give.

Often when they don't give, these natives will change their faces, and they will pick up long knives and use force to force them if they can't get what they want by begging.

And often after picking up the long knife, the Chinese will succumb.

Gu Xingbang: The meaning of their existence is to make the natives dare not take a knife.

"That's right, if this is in our hometown, ensure that he is planted with grain on the top of the mountain, the special family is divided into 100 acres of land, and all the grain is stored at home, and if people can't finish eating, I will feed the pigs, feed ten pigs......" Ma Gaojie muttered to himself with red eyes.

Ma Gaojie and Gu Xingbang are both from Shandong, and that place in Shandong has not been peaceful since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the lives of ordinary people can be imagined. Ma Gaojie originally had seven brothers and sisters, only three of them grew up, and when Ma Gaojie grew up, in order not to drag down the family, he chose to join the labor team and go to Europe.

Thinking about the lives of his brothers and sisters in the family, and looking at these natives guarding the land that crops three times a year, they would rather be beggars than work, Ma Gaojie feels that the world is really unfair.

"Don't think about those things, think more about what's in front of you." Gu Xingbang saw that the old brother was touched by the scene, and hugged Ma Gaojie's shoulder to describe a bright future. "Our Qin Ye said, when the war in France is over, he will lead us to the world to grab land, and at that time every household will have at least 100 acres, and you will get three or four wives, come to your hometown as the main house, marry a French concubine, and make a third room in Borneo, and don't exhaust you to death when the time comes."

"Exhausted? I'm willing to die of exhaustion! Ma Gaojie was hehele, thinking of the bright prospects, he was fascinated.

Perhaps it was for this prospect that Ma Gaojie and the others were willing to follow Qin Zhiyuan to fight in the south and the north.
