As soon as Li Guang set foot on Datang Island, he began to be busy. After three days of exchanges and discussions with Premier Yuan, Li Guang sent off the ambitious and youthful premier of the Haitang government.

On October 15, Yuan Ye led a team to start the first state visit of the Haitang Premier to five countries.

During these three days, Li Guang also had a better understanding of the government's spending and investment plans, and then began to work heavily.

In the four or three years, Haitang had the highest agricultural returns, but it was also necessary to further increase investment. First of all, the contract signed by Yuan Ye and the Belgian Congolese colonial government on the potash mine project has come into effect, and the preliminary preparations have been completed. Haitang Kingdom now needs to discharge a large number of personnel to officially start construction.

The notion that the government serves merchants does not work at all in Chinese mainland now, but it has naturally taken shape in the Haitang Kingdom. The main reason for this is that the economy of Haitang is a special export-oriented economy. It can be said that the country wants to obtain wealth, and the army wants to obtain equipment, all of which depend on import and export trade.

In these war-torn times, businessmen and the state became more and more closely integrated. Without the backing of the state's armed forces, merchants went to sea to trade, and at least they went bankrupt and lost their lives in foreign lands.

The government is also very much looking forward to the profits created by the businessmen, and although the two sides have different interests, the cooperation is still very good on the whole.

For example, this potash project. The approximate location of the potash mine dug up by Li Guang from memory, the businessmen hired people to explore, and the government used its relationship with Belgium to facilitate the signing of the contract, and now the government has to help the businessmen solve some difficulties and ensure the smooth operation of the project.

The boss of the potash company is surnamed Liu, whose name is Wencai, and he is a well-known wealthy gentry in Sichuan. Due to various reasons, he sold his family wealth and raised more than 10,000 taels of gold and came to Haitang.

Li Guang was once famous for his fame. It is considered a horse bone in the golden city, hoping to attract more wealthy people to settle down in Datang Island. So I met once and proposed such a project.

This person has some connections with a certain warlord, and he was once the core of a small force, and he has lived a life of licking blood with a knife, but he has some adventurous spirit. In a sense, this Boss Liu is a return to his old business, and his family has several salt wells in Sichuan, so he heard that there are salt mines, although this salt is not the other salt. But I was also very excited.

However, although his 10,000 taels of gold capital seems to be a lot, it is not enough to support such a large project. Later, he hired some businessmen to buy shares, and eventually got about a million dollars in share capital.

In the end, the businessmen negotiated with the government, and the government did not provide funds. Only out of service, escort accounted for 51% of the shares.

Diplomats and businessmen worked together. It's been a turnaround. Finally got the project done.

Now the businessmen have a new problem and are again turning to the government.

Due to the Belgian colony, although there are many blacks, the ignorant and uncivilized semi-primitive people cannot be used at all. If you want to use it, I'm afraid you have to use bloody means. That place. Although the Belgian colonial government could turn a blind eye to the use of force, such an act was likely to cause some conflicts and disputes, and it was impossible for the Haitang State to send troops. As a result, progress is blocked. When businessmen invest money, they want to see benefits and are anxious.

Liu Wencai's eldest son, Liu Huangshu (whose name is strange enough), asked to see Li Guang and told him about the fact that the Americans bought 30,000 tons of uranium ore from Belgium, and the Belgians wanted to make this money very much, and they also wanted to use the natives to work, but after tossing and turning for a long time, they finally found that the work that required a little discipline and skill was completely unsuitable for the natives. Eventually, whites were recruited from all over the country to complete the project.

Li Guang inquired about the price of the Americans getting the 30,000,000 tons of uranium ore -- 300 million US dollars. Li Guang, who listened to it, grinned, this thing is too daring for the United States to spend money, and a single ton is equivalent to 10,000 US dollars. You must know that Haitang has uranium ore from Australia, and the grade is definitely higher than that of the Congo's uranium ore, and the average price is only more than 200 US dollars per ton.

With a price difference of fifty times, Li Guang even wanted to sell the uranium ore he had to the United States, but he only thought about it, and finally gave up.

Belgium itself fell, but the current Belgian Congolese colonial government was very rich. No wonder he bought the weapons of the Haitang Kingdom without even blinking an eye. There are even some wealthy people who have lent money to the government of the Haitang Kingdom, and there are more than 10 million US dollars in bits and pieces, and the Belgians are really fat enough in this uranium deal.

In this case, Haitang Kingdom will have to solve some problems for the businessman, and fifty-one percent of the shares will need to pay some energy.

Li Guang has always been a little ahead of his time in dealing with this kind of thing. Some people commented that Li Guang was far-sighted, but Li Guang knew that his level was just as average. In his teenage years, he never performed as a superman. The so-called foresight is actually just some common sense in later generations.

The number of black people in Datang Island and the surrounding islands is not very large, a total of only three or four hundred thousand, these people are not indigenous, they are all European colonizers who have sold black slaves here for hundreds of years. At the moment, even Li Guang doesn't know the exact number of how many there are.

Li Guang has some ideas about black people such as laziness, stupidity, and violence. But in the eyes of most people in Haitang Kingdom, this is not the case. In particular, the black labor prisoners, after experiencing the long-term training of the little Japanese prisoners, were really docile and industrious, and of course they were still relatively stupid.

This time, for Liu Wencai's potash mine, Li Guangda's help with a wave of his hand was: the first batch of 1,000 black laborers was allocated, as for the security team or something, Liu Wencai would solve it himself, and Li Guanghui would support some weapons.

Since then, the operation model of this potash mine has gradually taken shape, from the Congo mine to the Datang Island potash mine, and then from Datang Island to transport grain and black families.

In the name of humanitarianism, these blacks and their families were sent to Congo one after another, and more than 100,000 blacks have since taken root in Africa.

Of course, at this time, Li Guang was only out of the idea of mining and removing the blacks from the Haitang Kingdom, and he was not so arrogant as to immediately intervene in the Congo. Besides, Belgium is finally a relatively good friend of the Haitang Kingdom, and Li Guang said: I am moral.

Li Guang and Liu Huangshu had an in-depth exchange, the two are the same age and have more common language. These words, this Liu Huangshu stirred up the situation in Africa in the following decades. It has led to many changes in the African landscape. Liu Huangshu wrote in his autobiography: The person he admires most in his life is Li Guang, who is far-sighted and has a straight vision for the future. Li Guang's communication with him in October of 43 has been guiding his life.

Liu Huangshu is a bit exaggerated, and many achievements are the result of his efforts. Li Guang's evaluation of Liu Huangshu: China is not without capable people, and there are many people who can pry the earth with a fulcrum, and Liu Huangshu is one of them.

－－－－－－－－

Some government affairs, Li Guang handled very cheerfully and arbitrarily, such as the salt mine project of Liu Wencai and his son. However, there are some government affairs that cannot be arbitrarily done by Li Guang.

There is an educational program of a thousand schools in the Haitang Kingdom. Now it is steadily advancing. Due to Li Guang's forward-thinking thinking, this plan has been repeatedly overspent.

Recently, several events have happened one after another, forcing the government of Haitang to add a new plan again - the medical and health birth plan. Government spending has had to be significantly overspent again.

Premier Yuan had already made a preliminary plan, and the secretaries of Li Guang's office had also done a thorough investigation. In the end, it must be invested. And it is to increase investment, in fact, it is too late for the government to start investing at this time. This is a serious mistake in government management. Li Guang had no intention of blaming the government. In fact, he also ignores this aspect. And the parliament also made a mistake and did not have a proposal in this regard.

A newly formed government, with its imperfect institutions, understandably. But things like this can't be conveyed to the bottom of the situation, and that's the fault of the system.

The Maritime Resistance Army had experienced a plague on Shixiang Island, and at that time Li Guang suspected that some kind of disease had been brought by the Chinese people. The natives of the Statue Island have no resistance due to their long-term isolation from the outside environment.

Therefore, when immigration began on Datang Island, Haitang still established a set of epidemic prevention plans. After a year or two of refinement. The hygiene measure, known as "baptism", is now a mandatory procedure for new immigrants to naturalize.

These include a whole set of procedures such as supplementing nutrition, getting a haircut, bathing, changing clothes, curing diseases, giving hygiene lessons, instilling the national spirit, and taking the oath of naturalization.

Among them, the treatment of diseases is really not perfect. Due to the shortage of funds, the government is not doing enough. It can only focus on the key points.

In this era, hunger is the worst enemy of the poor, unhygienic diets are normal, and the most widespread case among immigrants is ascariasis, so most newcomers simply take deworming drugs. As for other conditions, or conditions that may cause widespread onset, not only are they technically not guaranteed, but they are also not financially guaranteed.

And there is no one who eats whole grains without getting sick, and in addition to some unknown factors, there have been seven or eight large and small plagues in Datang Island in the past year or so. And this time it's not like Statue Island, it's just that the natives are sick. It is not only the aborigines who are sick, but also the Tang people. According to statistics, the death toll of the Tang people in the past year and a half has reached a staggering 10,000 people, and as for how many indigenous people have died, Li Guang can not care.

The immigration path of the Haitang Kingdom itself was full of hardships and blood. Not to mention the casualties on the long journey from their hometown to Kunming, they only took a plane from Kunming to Myitkyina in Myanmar, walked or took a car from Myitkyina to Ledo in India, then took a train or car from Ledo to the port of Kolkata, and then took a boat to Ceylon to reach Datang Island. For such a long journey, such a long time, according to incomplete statistics, the number of deaths in the past year or two has not been less than 10,000, some have died of disease, some have died of shipwrecks, some have died of Japanese bombing, and some have died of robbery by the Indian mob.

For some casualties, it may be attributed to force majeure, but after these poor people arrived on Datang Island, they saw that they could live a life of food and clothing, but they actually died of the plague.

No matter from which point of view, Premier Yuan and Li Guang will not let it develop, this is a crime against the people. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a sound basic medical system. This is not only related to the health of the citizens of Haitang Kingdom, but also related to the attractiveness of Haitang Kingdom to domestic immigrants.

And another aspect of the health care family plan - childbearing. It is also necessary to pay attention immediately, of course, it is certainly not to plan 8 plans and 8 births, but to ensure the safety of pregnant women, the smooth delivery of babies, and the growth of young children through medical means.

The Haitang State has a special situation, with a total population of about 2.5 million (the indigenous people are not counted for the time being), of which at least 90% of the 2 million immigrants from the country are men and less than 10% are women.

What's more serious is that there are mostly unmarried men, and the daughters of the Han family are far from enough.

The government has used all means, even very immoral means, to get three or four hundred thousand women of all ethnic groups, including women from Burma, India, Ceylon and other places.

But this is still not enough.

Haitang has a marriage law, but the people have workarounds.

A woman or girl from Chinese mainland. Those of marriageable age or young age, whether handsome or ugly, were engaged early by soldiers and government officials, as well as the children of merchants.

As far as Li Guang knows: Several maids of Su Mao's family are not very literate or beautiful, but they are married to very good families, at least they are also company commanders of the Naval Resistance Army. From this point, we know how popular Chinese women are in the Haitang Kingdom.

There is really no way to be equal in this kind of thing, and men with good conditions naturally have the advantage of marriage.

The next class is the Burmese woman, who is almost indistinguishable from the Chinese in appearance, although the language is different. But it was also like a crazy robbery to become the spouse of the Tang people. Although there are not many European Caucasian women in Tang Island, there are some, although the aesthetic is not in line with the habits of Chinese, but since ancient China, white is beautiful, in short, there is no worry about marriage.

As for the first class again. It's an Indian woman or a Ceylonese woman, although some people dislike it. But in reality. The gap in aesthetics and the concept of bloodline are ignored, and there is no worry about getting married at all.

In recent times, however, intermarriage between Tang peasants and indigenous women has become more common. The indigenous Blue Kunlun tribe here on Datang Island, although Li Guang has always regarded them as a human race similar to the Black Kunlun tribe. Because on the surface, it's also quite dark.

But as the understanding deepened, everyone found out. They really weren't Black Kunlun. These people are tanned by the tropical sun because they don't usually wear any clothes. But whether backward or not, women still know a little bit about covering their bodies compared to men, after some kind of research. So everyone found that although these people were a little darker than the Chinese, their skin was yellow and blue.

Among the immigrants of the Haitang Kingdom, a large part of the peasants belonged to the kind of people who had no overnight food, and were almost struggling on the verge of life and death. In China, it is impossible to marry a daughter-in-law, but after solving the problem of food and clothing, the thinking of inheritance began to gain the upper hand.

As a last resort, some peasants who had no hope of marrying a wife also began to gradually accept the women of the Lan Kunlun tribe. However, it is also to choose women whose skin is not so dark.

As for the Black Kunlun people, although Li Guang did not explicitly order it, but in the specific implementation process, no one married a wife.

Although Li Guang claims that he has no racial discrimination, he still has some resistance to people like Lan Kunlun (who should be regarded as Indonesian). He knew that mixed-race children were generally healthy and beautiful, but he also knew that mixed-race children were said to have slightly lower IQs.

Don't you see that South America will not develop even in the 21st century? Li Guang speculated that there may be some elements of mixed white and indigenous race. (Argentina is the only country in South America that is barely considered a purebred white country.) ）

Now, although he also realized that Lan Kunlun was not a black race, he would definitely not regard these races that were still living in a semi-primitive state as a high-IQ race.

However, there is no way around it. As the leader of a country, he can only try his best to do a good job, but he can't be as comprehensive as a god. One can only consider the emigration of as many women as possible from the country after the victory of the war.

However, now Li Guang also knows a lot about the situation in China, and the phenomenon of preference for sons over women is serious. He knew how miserable girls were in this era, and the drowning of families who could not afford to raise a baby girl was very serious. Although the ratio of men to women has been distorted by family planning in later generations, the ratio of men to women at this time is probably even more serious than in the 21st century. In the future, it will be quite difficult to immigrate more women.

Li Guang has one thing in his memory, East Asia has the highest IQ. So from this period on, Li Guang listed stick women and Japanese women as his future goals.

Regardless of the ethnic group, at least there is absolutely no difference between the children born to Japanese women and stick women in appearance. Li Guang has seen this before, a friend of his married a stick girl, and the child born was healthy and beautiful, and there was no difference between him and the Chinese people at all.

In addition, China has always had a patriarchal view of ancestry, which does not lead to discrimination against mixed-race children.

In the Haitang Kingdom, although there is a marriage law to protect women's property rights and other rights, the fundamental reason for the promotion of women's status is that there are more men than women.

Equality between men and women has not been achieved in China for many years, but it has been achieved very quickly in Haitang. Respecting women, loving women, and protecting women's rights and interests, the government has done almost nothing, but it has naturally formed.

Later, this was shamelessly used by the government as a political achievement, and it was widely publicized in the world, so that it became a benchmark for the civilized world.

Thinking too far, Li Guang has a headache when he thinks about it. Anyway, no matter how hard Li Guang tries, I am afraid that it will be impossible for the immigrants to marry a Chinese woman alone. Marriage is accompanied by the birth of children, and this matter must be prepared immediately, and it is absolutely impossible to wait for a big problem to be made up for later.

Although the Haitang Kingdom is still the majority of singles, and there are not many babies born. However, due to the lack of medical care, there are few midwives who can barely take on the task of delivering babies, and the infant and maternal mortality rates are alarmingly high. Li Guang trembled when he looked at the numbers, it was really terrifying. can make Li Guangdu, who has experienced the death of the war, feel terrible, this proportion is really amazing.

In the twenty-first century, such horrific mortality rates cannot be imagined.

You know, in just one or two years, nearly half a million couples have married, and according to Chinese tradition, four or four years will definitely usher in a wave of baby booms, and the number is afraid that there will be no more than three or four hundred thousand. And every year in the future, the number of babies born in Haitang Kingdom will not be less.

If the government's plan is delayed, it is likely to lead to unacceptable tragedy, or even inevitable.

This is the first batch of babies in the Haitang Kingdom, and it is also the first generation of local nationals in the future, and it is impossible to pay too much attention to the lack of population in the Haitang Kingdom.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish medical schools to train doctors, establish hospitals in various towns and villages, and establish a permanent medical and health management organization. When experts and scholars made plans, Li Guang learned that this is how the money was spent.

One billion dollars (US$25 million) of Tang Yuan was spent on the government's plan. (To be continued......)
