Chapter 51: The Great Migration Plan
It has to be said that the work ability of the Japanese is really good, at least in terms of workload, surpassing the African blacks and North Koreans, and after eight hours of work, they also applied for two hours of overtime. It was also the foreman's fear that they would die of exhaustion, otherwise they seemed to intend to work overtime to fourteen hours......
However, they do not receive any special benefits for overtime, and they still need to work for so many years before they are eligible for freedom. But maybe it's too unwilling, the foreman gave them a proper upgrade of their food, and that's it.
However, even so, they were grateful to Dade and sped up their work.
In fact, the foreman did not know that the Japanese people were short of materials, so they could only eat two meals a day, and there was also a shortage of side dishes and staple foods. A wealthy daimyo consists of rice, a small fish two fingers wide, a small plate of pickled radish, a cup of boiled wild vegetables, and a small bowl of miso soup. And for people like them, lunch and dinner are mainly composed of: small rice and two pieces of boiled radish.
It's not that they like to eat turnips, but turnips are easy to grow and have a high yield, and it is rare that they can eat both tubers and leaves, and there are many patterns.
But working here in Zhang Hongbin, not to mention the rice and steamed buns, the vegetables are full of oil and water, not to mention eating meat with different flavors every day or two. After the diet of the Japanese people was raised, the frequency and variety of meat were also improved, and this was completely the emperor's level of diet. For the people of the Japanese country who are struggling in the lower classes, what is there to complain about when they get this treatment, they work a lot just to keep this treatment.
Even those retainers of the original Tachibana family are working silently at the moment. Without the high level of the past, they can be regarded as desperate to start from the grassroots. The only three remaining male retainers were even named captains because they knew how to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and were responsible for managing the Japanese and teaching them Chinese. The treatment has naturally been improved.
As for the women in the slaves, unless they were originally married, they would be scattered to do some simple work. At the end of the year, it will be rewarded as a reward to those hard-working slaves, perhaps Korean slaves, perhaps Mongol slaves, and of course blacks, who will have a mass wedding organized by the foreman.
As for saying pretty...... I'm sorry, I had already picked it for the Manchu Qing Dynasty once before selling it here, and then I was selected to arrange a batch of state-level cadres to serve as life assistants for them, what good goods can I have left?
It is no exaggeration to say that he took the initiative to sleep with the foreman, and the foreman didn't look down on it. But for those slaves who don't know how long they want to be single, it's better to have a woman than to keep masturbating.
Tachibana Muneshige also began to work officially at the Firearms Bureau, and according to his wishes, he also freed two of his little surnames as assistants. According to him, these two little surnames have been with him for a while, and they also know some about firearms, and it is rare that they are young and have a good mind, and their achievements may be better than him in the future.
It is precisely because of this that the two little ones will be released from slavery. I am also very grateful to Tachibana Soshige.
The three of them carried out the shameful and hard-working style of the Japanese people, and they were also very willing to devote themselves to the manufacture of firearms. The efficiency and quality are relatively high, so the old wood is still very happy. But if this were all there was to it, Old Wood would not be satisfied, because he needed innovation in firearms, not manufacturing.
If it is simply manufactured, any worker will do it, and there is no need to deliberately arrange three different races to come in.
However, the time that the three of them have been exposed to advanced firearms is too short, even if they have good brains, they can't immediately give a good idea. Old Mu also knows this, so give them a year, if there is no result by then, then I'm sorry, I can only obediently go back to be a slave.
At the same time, Zhang Hongbin was also having a headache about immigration.
In recent days, immigrants from Daming, Mongolia and other places have begun to settle in the Republic. One of the Mongols began to fight a civil war again, and a large number of ordinary tribes who did not want to be involved chose to go south to join the emerging republic; Daming is simpler, and now in the hearts of the people of Daming, the republic is second only to Daming, and even more orthodox than Daming, so many people are eager to join this country.
It's a good thing that these immigrants are able to come, but as the workshops begin to saturate and the local quotas begin to fill up, it becomes difficult for these people to arrange.
Let them farm, but at this moment the Xiaoice River period in Shaanxi and Shanxi has not passed, and at this time farming in these two places will actually not be a big harvest. And according to Zhang Hongbin's design, the two places will also appropriately reduce the planting of crops. As for the cultivation of cash crops, it is also temporarily full.
So, they had to make arrangements somewhere else.
Along with them, there is also a part of the people of Sichuan, after planning a new type of agriculture and industry, Sichuan's existing population has a surplus of nearly 3 million people. Letting them stay in Sichuan will only increase the employment pressure of Sichuan people.
After discussions with the National Assembly, Zhang Hongbin decided to move the people here, along with the immigrants from Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, to Yunnan and Burma provinces.
But it is very clear that all the immigrants are very reluctant, even very reluctant, to go to these two obviously backward and originally foreign regions. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, even if Myanmar is now the territory of the republic, but with the change of dynasties, God knows when it will be taken back by the Burmese natives in the future. When the time comes, wouldn't they, the Chinese people who have already taken root there, be very bad?
Besides, many people are northerners, and they are not very used to moving to such a southern place.
The parliamentary discussions were fruitless, and the lure did not know how to come up with enough benefits to allow them to emigrate to Yunnan and Burma. Threatening words...... It's not that it can't be done, but it won't work very well, and it's very likely to trigger **. After all, whether it is Sichuan or these immigrants, the recognition of the Republic is still relatively low. At least relative to the people of Shaanxi and Shanxi.
With dissatisfaction and depression, Zhang Hongbin returned home.
After a brief reunion with his family, he entered the study. may have seen that Zhang Hongbin had something on his mind, so none of the female dependents bothered him. But there are always exceptions, such as Liu Rushi, who has always served as his secretary.
Now Liu Ru is also eighteen years old, so Zhang Hongbin fulfilled his early promise to let her successfully conceive. It was only about five months before and after, but her stomach was already a little bit, and now she came to Zhang Hongbin with a small belly.
"Husband, but are you worried about immigration?" Liu Ru came behind Zhang Hongbin, put his hands on his shoulders and gently massaged.
"If we don't arrange for them to go south, it will inevitably cause certain social problems. Most importantly, I am going to use guò immigration to strengthen my grip on Yunnan and Burma, especially the Burmese provinces. But now these guys are stinky and hard, but they don't know how to arrange it. Zhang Hongbin said with a wry smile.
"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you find what you need from them and what you are willing to accept, then it's no problem." Liu Ru said with a smile.
"Oh, you have a way?" Zhang Hongbin asked excitedly.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple, just ......" Liu Ru came to Zhang Hongbin's ear and explained to him in a low voice.
