Above the blue blue waves, a fleet of three large white passenger liners was slowly moving south.

Rather than the silver-grey livery that is increasingly popular among the navy's warships, the shipping companies in the country prefer this more eye-catching and easily recognizable white livery at sea, and these merchant ships are owned by a shipping company in Ningbo, China, and now the three passenger ships are carrying a large number of immigrant families from the mainland.

Since Seris's victory over the Dutch colonizers at the beginning of this year and the acquisition of the new southwestern province of Borneo and other places, a large number of peasant families who lacked arable land in the country have joined the surging wave of southward migration. In addition to being attracted by the faint rumors of gold mining in various places, what really moved these local immigrants from Seris was the new immigration policy of the Southwest Ocean Province that the domestic government introduced just at the beginning of the year.

According to Beijing's policy, all local immigrant families with less than 15 acres of arable land per capita will receive no less than 200 acres of land free of charge upon arrival in Borneo and other places in Nanyang, and the merchant ship tickets purchased by these migrants for their first trip to Nanyang will also be paid in full by the Immigration Policy Department of the Southwest Ocean Province. In this way, one can imagine how much the above policy has attracted the landless peasant class in the country. Especially in Sichuan, Fujian, Anhui and other areas where arable land is not rich in the first place, since the introduction of relevant domestic policies, a large number of local people have joined this unprecedented wave of immigration.

In a way that is not in harmony, while many of the country's poorest people have benefited from this, there are also many people in Seris who are very depressed about this......

As early as a few years ago, the Seris government has launched a number of policies to encourage people from the interior to immigrate. It's just that most of the immigration directions in China at that time were still in the north of Mongolia, Xinjiang and Northeast China. And a considerable part of it takes the form of employment on large state-owned farms. The supply of land for families is also mostly given priority to retired and meritorious military personnel. It can be said that there are still some restrictions on the number of immigrants who can land for personal reclamation, but even this has had a "very terrifying" impact on the landlord class in China to a considerable extent.

According to the statistics of the relevant departments, the price of grain in Seris is calculated in terms of corn, and its unit value has plummeted from 110 Chinese yuan per ton in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China (the liberation of the mainland) to 35 Chinese yuan per ton today. At the same time, the quotation of a single middle-aged wage farmer in the domestic labor market has increased sharply from 13 Chinese yuan per month to 60 Chinese yuan per month, which has basically reached about 2/3 of the current income of an industrial worker in China. On the basis of satisfying the food and clothing of a family of three, the income of the unit can also make a certain amount of considerable consumption of domestic industrial products.

It can be said that the "limited" adjustment measures of the Republic in the previous years have already hit the conservative strata in the hinterland, which are still stubbornly holding and accumulating land as their way of life. By the beginning of this year, the newly established Southwest Ocean Province was even more open to "recruiting" domestic immigrants! This is really going to kill some people...... You must know that not counting East Sumatra and Sulawesi, Borneo in the southwest ocean alone has added nearly 5 million hectares of arable land to Seris this year, plus the newly surplus land resources in other regions, this alone can solve the population pressure of tens of millions for Seris itself. If you add in the factories and rubber plantations in Nanyang, which can absorb a large number of laborers, the entire province of Southwest Ocean will be able to solve the population pressure of more than 50 million people in the country in the next 10 to 15 years, which is almost the total population of several provinces in the country today. In this way, it is possible to imagine how the impact of the immigration measures of the Southwest Ocean Province on the domestic "labor industry" is huge.

In fact, since the beginning of the new century this year. In just a few months since the announcement of the immigration policy of the southwest province of China, according to the data released by the domestic floating population statistics department, the number of outflow population in Fujian province alone has exceeded 7.6 million! This number is almost the population of several prefecture-level cities in China today...... In some specific areas today, especially in some places in the south where the extremely poor peasant class is relatively concentrated, there is almost nothing left in the villages where some clans live, and the landlords and old wealth in many places have begun to sadly find that there are no longer many hired farmers in the local towns and villages who can help them take care of their fields! Many landlords and gentry held a large number of posts full of fertile fields, but they could not recruit a few peasants who were willing to stay in the local area and accept the contract. At the same time, in order to keep the few remaining farmers and long-term laborers in their families, many landlords began to grit their teeth and drip blood in their hearts to sharply increase their contract commissions in the past.

But even so, fewer and fewer farmers are willing to stay...... No one is stupid! In the case of obtaining a large number of fields with only "a few extra steps", the common people of the past were naturally reluctant to sell their labor for these landlords cheaply. To know! The newly established Southwest Ocean Province in China has given 200 to 300 acres of land to single-family immigrant families, which is enough for their family to live a rich life like a rich man in the past.

In fact, the immigration policy given by the government of the Republic of Seris is so generous that not only the bankrupt peasant households and other extremely poor classes in China yearn for Nanyang, but also many domestic people from ordinary families, and even many technicians and intellectuals who are not satisfied with their own treatment have also caught up with this boom and have gone to Nanyang vigorously one by one.

Go to the South Seas!

Go to the South Seas!

The simple four words soon became a loud slogan that resounded all over the country, and suddenly sounded the clarion call for all civilian strata in Seris to march to the South Seas!

With all travel expenses and ferry tickets paid for by the authorities of the Southwest Seas, a large number of domestic people have stepped into a turning point in their lives from their former hometowns, and tens of millions of destitute people from the Ceris have embarked on special passenger ships for immigrants from nearby coastal ports to the South Seas under the organized arrangements and coordination of the domestic governments at all levels...... Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Qingdao, Yancheng, Shantou...... And so on and so forth, the wharves of the ports were lined up day and night with teams of migrant families heading south, and one after another migrant merchant ships and passenger ships contracted by the government sailed out of the ports day and night...... In order to deal with and coordinate the immigration teams in their respective localities, the immigration bureaus, maritime administrations, border guards, and quarantine bureaus in various places ...... A large number of grass-roots government units began to deal with relevant immigration affairs day and night.

Interestingly, because of the authorities' policies, many people who went to Nanyang hurriedly started their own families shortly before. According to the immigration policy announced by the province of Ceris, bachelors are only provided with 5 hectares, or 75 acres of land, in the South Seas, and if it is a family, it is multiplied, and the arable land they can obtain is at least 200 acres, and if they have children or their wives are pregnant, they can even more.

For this reason, marriage registries throughout the country have been particularly busy since the beginning of the year...... And for the government of the Southwest Ocean Province, this is naturally beneficial. Compared with a relatively stable and manageable immigrant family, a large number of bachelors who go to Nanyang will always mean trouble. In fact, months earlier, when Seris had conquered the Southwestern Ocean, there had been a wave of westward expansion in the neighbouring region of Luzon. The difference is that most of these Luzon people only went to Borneo and other places to pan for gold, and after a short period of prosperity, they returned to their hometowns very quickly, for no other reason - the so-called lust and lust, and at that time there were simply not enough marriage partners in the southwest seas. It is important to know that the imbalance between young men and women will mean a serious social problem, regardless of the period. Compared with those bachelors whose mobility factors are extremely unstable, immigrants with family constraints are naturally much easier to manage, and only they can settle down in the Southwest Ocean to cultivate land and provide sufficient human and social contributions to the new province of Seris. I have to say that, at least in this matter, the young political groups in the Southwest Ocean Province have learned the lessons of the past.

And just like that, in the midst of the hustle and bustle...... A large number of people from the continent of Seris, with a fiery heart and hope for a better future, have taken an extremely important step in their lives......

"Mom, I want to eat candy ......"

"Good boy, baby! When you get to Siwu, let Dad buy you a lot! ”

"Really?"

"Of course, when we get there, we have a lot of fields...... At that time, not only can you buy candy for the baby, but the mother can also have the money to buy cloth for the baby to wear new clothes! ”

"Really?"

"Hmm!"

"You promise?"

"Mommy promise!"

"Oh, that's great......" (To be continued......
