Chapter 295: Village Plan

To a certain extent, the increase in the number of immigrants has also brought a lot of trouble to the public facilities and services and education in Manchester City, and at the same time, it has also brought many problems in the placement of unemployed people.

Although there are several large projects that have been approved at present, and the manpower required is very large, according to the construction conditions and time, it will be close to four months at the earliest.

After all, once people don't work for a long time, they will have inertia, and in order to avoid raising thousands of lazy people, the staff of the civil affairs department and the immigration department are also using their brains to come up with various methods.

At present, the number of major enterprises in the country is not large, just a few days ago the total number of employees recruited by various enterprises has reached 600 people, it can be said that this is the current limit.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there are still at least 1,500 people in the resettlement houses who need to be placed for employment, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs feels powerless for the first time in the face of such a large group of workers, and it can no longer think of how to arrange the employment of these people.

In the early stage, more than 200 people have been placed in Panzhihua Town, basically it can be said that this has been the limit of Panzhihua's acceptance, if some people are resettled, it can be imagined that there are definitely a lot of idle guys on the streets of Panzhihua.

In order to solve this problem, the civil affairs department suggested to President Zhou Aiguo whether to consider building a number of new villages, so that these people can establish some small villages first, so that it is convenient to receive a steady stream of immigrants in the future, and at the same time, it is natural to wait until the number of small villages and towns is upgraded to large cities.

This idea is indeed a good idea. The Chinese have a hard-working spirit, and most of these refugees are farmers, as long as they are provided with a piece of land and tools to plant. After subsidizing half a year or a year's worth of food, they will definitely be able to go from relief to self-hematopoiesis.

So at this point, there is no need to worry about whether these people will starve to death when they are dispatched, even if the government does not subsidize them, they can rely on their own hands to create a homeland, most of the early Southeast Asian Chinese first landed there when most of the place was barren, they relied on the seeds and planting experience they brought to successfully camp in that land in Southeast Asia and live a happy life.

Moreover, this proposal of the civil affairs department just fills the blank area of village-level administration in Australia. At present, the lowest administrative unit in Australia is the town level, and Panzhihua is nominally a relief administrative unit, but because the town was established early. Everyone can see that it will inevitably be upgraded to the center of the municipal or provincial administrative region in the future.

A town-level unit has no village, which is the only one in Australia, and it can almost be said that the early idea of building a city was to build towards urbanization, and the administrative level of the village was not considered at all.

In fact, the formation of village-level units is very necessary. On the one hand, he can supply the whole country with food. On the other hand, it can also be a national reserve of workers, which can successfully shift surplus labor to the cities when large-scale mechanization is adopted for agricultural development.

In this process of development, as long as the public makes certain plans and arrangements, there will be no problems of unemployment rate and difficulty in finding employment. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the countryside is a reserve human resource for urban industrial development.

It is with this in mind that the civil affairs staff have drawn up a plan for the development of villages that can be settled within 10 or 15 kilometers of the city, so that they can not only obtain the livelihood support provided by Manchester in the early stage, but also include these villages after the future expansion of the city.

President Zhou Aiguo is very much in favor of this plan, which can fundamentally solve the current employment pressure in the whole country, and can also call in sufficient labor when the country needs to mobilize a large number of laborers.

It can be said that the construction of villages is a very good thing to promote. The village is like a machine that mediates the pressure of the city, and it can provide the impetus for urban development. At the same time, it has a self-hematopoietic function, and can also provide daily consumption food for the city.

In Zhou Aiguo's office, Qian Yuanzhong, as the president's most important and right-hand man, is not as big as the head of other departments, although he is only a director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but his status is not low at all, and everyone knows that he is the successor of President Zhou Aiguo.

In the last struggle between radicals and conservatives, Zhou Aiguo has been cultivating his own strength since he was plotted by insiders, and he quickly pulled up a group of his own team by relying on his status as president and the prestige of the elders.

At present, although the country is still a conservative in name, in fact, there has been a rupture within the conservatives, and in many cases it is impossible to unify the pace and unite against the radicals, which is why the radicals rarely have such a quiet time to ignore the attacks of the conservatives.

"Yuanzhong, I have read your report very well, it is the best way to solve the current problem of too much understanding of immigrants, once the experiment is successful, we can quickly promote it in other parts of Australia, in the early stage, these people will reclaim the land to establish villages, and then guide them to the industrial road according to the development." Zhou Aiguo poured a glass of water from the coffee table, handed it to Qian Yuanzhong, and said slowly.

"Yes, president, the establishment of villages can not only allow them to solve the problem of self-feeding, but also provide impetus for future development, if the development is good, we can increase the number of immigrants, and we don't have to worry about too many immigrants, is there such a big problem in the reception capacity of major cities across the country."

"I will directly sign and agree to this plan, and I don't need to discuss it with the Congress, if the experiment is successful, I will decide to change your position, what do you see," Zhou Aiguo directly qualitated the feasibility of this proposal, and was also ready to transfer Zhou Aiguo to other departments.

Although to a certain extent, both the Civil Affairs Bureau and the Immigration Bureau have considerable powers, they are still much smaller than other departments that have the power to decide on major national affairs, which is why it is only a bureau-level unit and not a ministerial-level unit.

It's rare that Zhou Gang is not Ah Zhou Aiguo will value Qian Yuanzhong so much, which can be regarded as a blessing for old money.

"President, everything is up to you, just do what you say I do." Qian Yuanzhong replied very regularly.

"Okay, since I said that, I'll give you a thorough explanation, I'm going to transfer you to the president's office to take the position of secretary general, you have to be mentally prepared."

Secretary-General of the President's Office, which is equivalent to Zhou Aiguo's head of the think tank, can be said to be equivalent to the position of department minister, or even greater, because many times his words represent the president's meaning, obviously Zhou Aiguo attaches great importance to Qian Yuanzhong, if this news is spread, it is estimated that it will inevitably cause a new storm.
