Qin Zhiyuan's immigration to Corsica was a last resort, because Qin Zhiyuan did not have a stable rear to support his advance.

It's easy to do now, because of the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan finally has a territory of his own, and he can plan according to Qin Zhiyuan's intentions unscrupulously.

As a result, the development plan for Borneo was immediately put on the agenda.

As a strategic, forward-looking, and oriented public policy, the development plan is specific to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, which is what kind of country Qin Zhiyuan wants to build the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, whether it is an agricultural country, an industrial country, or a regional power dominated by science and technology, or even a global power.

If according to Qin Zhiyuan's idea, he needs an all-round power dominated by science and technology, whether it is economic, military, or cultural, in the world...... At least in Southeast Asia, the Grand Duchy of Lanfang is in a leading position.

Since it is dominated by science and technology, if it relies on the Grand Duchy of Lanfang itself, there must be a difficult journey to go, and since Qin Zhiyuan now has some resources, he must rely on external forces.

If we want to bring order from chaos to order, one of the key points is to let people have something to do, as long as there is something to do, they will not be cranky, they will not be idle, and social order will be restored quickly.

The Grand Duchy of Lanfang is currently in the process of turning chaos into order.

Fortunately, if you want to find something to do in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, it is really not difficult.

In the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, there are huge areas of plantations and various mineral deposits, all of which are labor-intensive industries, require a large number of people, and do not require professional skills, so it can be said that even the entire population of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong is not enough.

In order to quickly restore social order, the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong immediately began to emigrate from the country after conducting a census to enrich the plantations and mines of the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong.

To this end, Qin Zhiyuan concentrated the merchant ships in his hands in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and made every effort to start immigrating from the Republic of China.

At this time in the Republic of China, the war between the north and the south factions became more and more intense, and there were constant disputes within the north and south factions, and local wars would break out from time to time.

At this time, the news about the Grand Duchy of Lanfang finally reached the Republic of China, and the Chinese, who were suffering from the war and could not avoid it, finally had a paradise to escape the war.

As a result, the tide of "entering the South Seas" rose again in the Republic of China.

This time the scope is not only the southeastern provinces, because most of the Chinese who go to Europe come from the north, and in this tide of "entering the South Seas", the northern provinces occupy a considerable proportion, almost the same proportion as the number of people in the southern provinces.

Even in the most war-torn inland provinces, such as Sichuan and Hunan provinces, entire villages and towns have been relocated en masse.

Since February, the number of Chinese immigrants to the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong has increased at a rate of about 100,000 per month, and there is a growing trend.

The rapid increase in the number of residents in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fong brought up another question that made the cabinet both happy and troublesome, that is, how to ensure the living materials of these new immigrants.

Most of the Chinese who have joined the ranks of immigrants are tenant farmers who have no property in the mainland, and it is understandable that if their families have floating wealth, they must not be willing to give up all of them and emigrate.

Then when these new immigrants arrived in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang, how to live became an urgent problem to be solved.

The place to live is easy to manage, and the former indigenous people have fled, leaving behind a lot of houses that are enough to be allocated to these new immigrants.

The land problem is also easy to handle, although the Grand Duchy of Lanfang has a vast area of plantations, but the land utilization rate is not high, a large area of wasteland is still in a state of uncultivated, and even islands like Sumba Island, although there are nearly 14,000 square kilometers of land, but the entire island has only a few thousand residents, this is still before the aborigines fled, and now it is almost a desert island.

Clothes are also easy to do, Chinese women themselves are almost full of spinning and weaving attribute points, as long as they settle down, clothing is not a problem, not to mention the hot climate here in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, although it is still winter, but there is no need to wear cotton clothes at all, for those Chinese who have migrated from the cold north, even a summer dress is not a problem.

The main problem is food, as long as the people can eat their stomachs, according to the habits of the Chinese, they will settle down immediately, unless it is a knife to the neck, otherwise there is no problem.

This problem could not be solved by the cabinet of the newly born Grand Duchy of Lanfang, so it was submitted to Qin Zhiyuan and asked the "king" of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang to solve the problem of rations for the people under his rule.

And this problem is really not difficult for Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan, who has been accepted by Europe, has the influence that Huang Bohan does not have, and Qin Zhiyuan only needs to mobilize his own resources to solve the food problem of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang.

The main body of French Indochina is Annam, and Annam itself is known as the granary of Southeast Asia, because of different geographical positions, France at this time did not rely on rice from Annam, but chose wheat from the United States, so Annam's rice was unsalable, or even seriously unsalable.

Qin Zhiyuan simply sent a telegram to the Governor of French Indochina, and the problem was satisfactorily resolved, and the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang could now import rice from Annam, and the price remained at the level before the outbreak of the world war.

This is a great favor, you must know that the world war has been going on until now, the price of grain has generally skyrocketed, and in some parts it has even risen to several times the level before the war.

As a result, with the fixed navigation between Saigon and Surabaya, the food problem gradually subsided.

It's still a bit of a fly in the ointment, because the Chinese from the north are not used to eating rice, they are more accustomed to eating flour made from wheat. However, this is no longer a problem, the Chinese who have been freed from the war have no more demands, as long as they have food and work, they are satisfied, they will not make any trouble for the government and society, they are more accustomed to relying on their own hands to solve problems.

Qin Zhiyuan is a perfectionist, since these Chinese choose to believe in Qin Zhiyuan and choose to take refuge in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan has to be responsible for these Chinese, and it is Qin Zhiyuan's responsibility to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

So Qin Zhiyuan sent Gaspard to Australia to determine a way to provide wheat steadily.

In 1918, Australia had a total population of less than 5 million, but it sent nearly 300,000 troops to Europe, and it has maintained this level.

During the war, Australia's domestic economy increased rather than declined, especially wheat, which increased by a staggering degree.

At the outbreak of the World War in 1914, Australia's annual wheat production was only 25 million bushels, but only one year later, by 1915 the production was as high as 170 million bushels, a sevenfold increase in a year, and this production is still increasing year by year.

At the same time, Australia's domestic wheat consumption was only 40 million bushels, so in 1915 alone, there were as many as 130 million bushels of wheat to be exported.

130 million bushels, equivalent to about 3.5 billion kilograms, if an adult consumes 15 kilograms of grain per month, even if the 3.7 million people in the Grand Duchy of Lan Fang eat wheat, it is enough to eat for nearly five years......

Wheat exports, along with wool exports, were Australia's two pillar industries at this time, and the Australians blocked the Wheat Authority nationwide in order to sell wheat, and at the same time set up a Wheat Sales Committee in London to market wheat to the British.

Throughout the World War, Australia exported 447 million bushels of wheat to the UK.

The appearance of Gaspard really solved the urgent need of Australians. No one is willing to go to the ocean to ask for help, not to mention that the Grand Duchy of Lanfang promises to transport it by itself, and there is no need for Australians to be responsible, which is even more intimate for Australians.

Although Australia is export-oriented, it does not have a domestic transport fleet, and Australia's transportation of supplies to the UK must be coordinated by the British Shipping Industry Association, which is an extremely complicated process, how can it be convenient and fast to sell directly to the Grand Duchy of Lanfang?

As a result, the supply of wheat in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang is also extremely sufficient, coupled with the fruit trees and fishing boats everywhere, the tables of the newcomers are soon abundant, which makes the newcomers almost just set foot on the land of the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, and instantly fall in love with it.

For the industrious and simple people, the land without external oppression is the royal paradise.

With sufficient supplies, they cannot be unconditionally distributed to new immigrants, which will lead to inertia and the habit of reaching out to beg for money, so a number of cash-for-work projects are immediately launched.

These projects cover steel, oil, fertilizer, cement, infrastructure and more, and it only takes one adult to sell his strength to feed a family.

This is another project that makes newcomers grateful to Dade.

The Chinese are no strangers to forced servitude, and almost all rulers of all dynasties have forced their people to serve this kind of forced labor without any pay.

Although the family has not yet been settled, although the war-torn environment of the Republic of China has just been shocked, but the down-to-earth and diligent newcomers still put down their luggage, tearfully bid farewell to their reluctant wives and children, and walk out of the house.

Well, it's not so sensational, you don't need to go too far at all, it's often just a matter of leveling a road for your village, repairing the embankment near the village, and repairing the fence wall against wild beasts.

But after a hard day's work, each of these laborers received half a bag of food.

Grain?

Give for nothing?

All the people who received the food, as well as their little families, looked at the pockets in their hands and felt unbelievable, these simple people never had the consciousness that their own industriousness was also a commodity.

Even with this kind of understanding, they never thought that they would be paid so much if they did anything.

You must know that whether it is to build roads or river embankments, in the final analysis, it is convenient for immigrants to do their own, and in the Republic of China, these are not forced labor at all, but a gesture of effort.

But I didn't expect that in the Grand Duchy of Lanfang, such work could be called "conscription", and it also gave food.

Is "conscription" or "conscription" for food?

If you pay, you will get something!
