Chapter 63 Immigration Programs
"It's been an eventful year." Since the radio station was set up in Taonan with the help of Lao Maozi, it has become much easier for Taonan to communicate with outside news. Compared with the smooth wind and rain in the northeast, the situation in Kannai is much worse, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured by successive typhoons in Fujian, and countless people have been affected.
The Yangtze River is seriously flooded, with Hubei as the center, dozens of counties are full of water, more than three million people have been affected, although the court has disaster relief, but compared with such a large number of affected people, the disaster relief materials are almost negligible, Shandong, Henan and other provinces are not necessarily how good.
However, in this year, the court announced that it was ready to establish a constitution, which made the surging intellectuals a little calmer, but Qin Yu knew that the constitutional monarchy of the Qing Dynasty was just a trick to bluff people, and after the trick was exposed, the Qing Dynasty will usher in the unprecedented anger of those radicals, and the part of the people who are desperate to strengthen the country and the people will also be disappointed in the Qing government, seek other ways to strengthen the country, and even resort to force.
"Junko."
"Second Young Master, what are your orders?" Zhang Shun hurriedly said.
"Over at the radio, you pick a few clever soldiers from the army to learn how to control the radio station from Lao Maozi, this thing is very important, you can't let Lao Maozi control it all the time, and then say some secret news, and you can't send it out through their hands." Qin Yu commanded.
"Don't worry, second young master, those old hairy people poured us wine, and they won't teach us any tricks." Zhang Shun nodded.
"Brother Xuguang, how many silver taels are there in the treasury?" Qin Yu asked again.
"My lord, there are only 5,000 taels, and this year all the battalions under my lord's hands are filled, and a new security battalion has been added, adding more than 1,000 people, plus the preliminary investment in the coal mine and the investment in farmland reclamation. and the resettlement of migrants this year, this money is not enough. "Tian Helin now knows what it is to come and go quickly, when he used to stay under Tian Yuben, the entire cottage didn't use much silver taels a year, and on the Taonan side, it was tens of thousands of taels in minutes, and hundreds of thousands of taels in and out of a year.
"There was a big flood in Hubei, and the court was unable to provide relief, plus Shandong, Henan also don't know how many hungry people there are, if there is no food, thousands of people will starve to death." Qin Yu pondered for a moment, "You send a telegram to Ni Jiting, mentioning the use of Benxi Iron Works as a mortgage, in addition, the coal mine here in Taonan can also be used as collateral, Du Liming will say hello over there, now start collecting grain from other places, no matter what kind of coarse grain it is, collect it first, it is better to eat almost than starving to death, Zhang Shun here sent people to recruit some hungry people in Guannei, and those who are willing to come will be pulled to Taonan." Let's take 30,000 or 50,000 people first. ”
"My lord, Taonan has already made a budget of 20,000 new immigrants this year, and if it is added by another 350,000 people, Taonan may not be able to stand it." Tian Helin hurriedly said. "Whether it's food or housing, it can't satisfy so many people who poured in at once, and 50,000 people, just for food and shelter, I'm afraid it will cost four or five hundred thousand taels a year, where do we get so much money?" With Taonan's current conditions, it is relatively reluctant to accept 20,000 people a year, and another 50,000 people will have to make a big mess.
"I have a way to solve the problem of money, as long as the food can be eaten and people don't die of hunger, it's too shameful to build a red brick house where I live, and I just build a shed. First of all, to keep people from starving to death, there is no way to do it if the conditions are more difficult. "Qin Yu is a descendant, after all, he can't see so many people starving to death, and now he can only do his best to save more people.
"My lord, these are forty or fifty thousand people, what can you do if you get them to Taonan?" Tian Helin asked, it is impossible for Taonan to spend four or five hundred thousand taels a year to raise some idlers, otherwise it is impossible to say that Taonan cannot afford it, and I am afraid that even a province is not willing to afford it.
"Road repair, now Taonan produced a lot of things, transport out of the road is becoming more and more troublesome, transportation costs are also high, the railway does not have to think for the time being, build two roads, can also greatly speed up the capacity of Taonan cargo throughput, the ash plant over there to increase horsepower, expand production, do our best to meet the needs of Taonan construction and road repair." There are pros and cons to everything, although it is an astronomical amount to bring 40,000 or 50,000 immigrants over just to eat and drink Lazar every year, but how can so many people not be cheap labor? At this time, most of the carriages in Taonan have not been equipped with rubber tires, and it is very troublesome to transport the goods out of Lu, if it were not for Qin Yu to set up a horse breeding factory by himself, there are now thousands of horses, and the transportation capacity is sufficient, and it is impossible for Taonan's wool spinning, shoemaking, and winery to develop so fast.
As for money, it is not the biggest problem, the investment in rubber stocks is crooked, and then 150,000 taels were recovered, and the investment of 300,000 taels has now increased seven or eight times, if Lao Maozi does not accept the mortgage of the iron factory, for the rubber stocks that are now popular in the entire southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty, Lao Maozi's immunity is almost zero. If possible, directly build a highway to Changchun, or to Harbin, and the development of Taonan will be more rapid in the future.
"Okay, as long as the adults solve the problem of money, the lowly position will be relieved." Tian Helin gritted his teeth, he was a prudent character, but if Qin Yu could really solve the problem of money, it would indeed be a major opportunity for Taonan.
"I'll have to go to the Governor for this and get his support." In the end, Qin Yu thought about it, if you don't talk to Xiliang about such a big matter, it can't be justified, the immigration of 50,000 people at a time is not common in the Qing Dynasty, and when others can't ask about it, Xiliang doesn't know anything.
"My lord, there's a Japanese guy out there asking to see you." Ding Cheng said outside.
"Japanese?" It's not the first time I've seen a Japanese person come to my door after walking through it for so long. "Let him wait."
"Lord Qin, don't come to Wuyi." The boat Lin Zhu saluted Qin Yu.
"Oh, it's you, welcome to Taonan, have you run out of toilet paper I sent you? There are many more in Taonan, and I am still very friendly to the Japanese, and I am happy to help as much as I can. Qin Yu quickly remembered that this small boat Lin Zhu was the one who led the team into Mongolia to draw a map, and couldn't help but smile, with a bit of false sincerity on his face.
"No, I still have a lot of that kind of paper." The corners of Xiaochuan Lin Zhu's mouth twitched, and he quickly said, "When I came to Taonan more than two years ago, it was still a dilapidated, barren, and sparsely populated place, but now under the governance of Lord Qin, factories and shops are standing up, which is really breathtaking." "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, the boat Lin Zhu would never have believed that Taonan was that dilapidated two years ago, and after more than two years of hard work, Taonan has changed too much.
"Mr. Xiaochuan has won the prize, and this is the result of my assistant's hard work. By the way, do you have anything to do with this visit to Taonan? Qin Yu asked.
"That's right, Lord Qin has a large-scale iron-making plant in Benxi, and I was entrusted by the Okura chaebol to ask Lord Qin at what price the iron-making plant and mining area can be transferred to us." The boat Lin helped. "There are also the two coal mines in Benxi that Lord Qin, and the Okura group chaebol is also willing to offer a reasonable price."
Qin Yu's heart was on fire, and he didn't even ask whether the labor and management were willing or not, and directly asked the labor and management to bid, which was really arrogant.
"Mr. Xiaochuan, the ironworks and coal mines are my cash cows, there is a good saying, cutting off people's money is like killing parents, do you think I will transfer them out?"
"Lord Qin, we are very sincere, please don't do it." The boat Lin helped.
"It can't be done, if you're here for this, I don't think we'll have much to talk about." Qin Yu smiled coldly.
"Lord Qin, your base camp is in Taonan, and your control over Benxi is almost none, if the Okura chaebol wants to make trouble, Lord Qin's coal mine and iron factory will be unsustainable at all, so it is better to change to a reasonable price now." The small boat Hayasuke threatened.
Qin Yu was annoyed when he heard this, and directly picked up the cup in front of him and smashed it on the head of the boat Lin Zhu, "Grass, ** who do you think you are, a little man who is less than one meter six, there is a kind of you who try to make trouble in Benxi, see if Lao Tzu has a way to take you, provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu directly led the army over to destroy you." ”
"My lord, what happened?" Hearing Qin Yu's angry scolding in the house, Ding Cheng and Wang Yuhai broke in.
"Throw this bastard out of the water, dare to threaten me, fuck, don't give him some color, he doesn't know why the flowers are so red." Qin Yu patted the table and said.
"Yes, sir." Ding Cheng, Wang Yuhai grabbed the small boat Lin Zhu's shoulder and lifted him up.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter, sir."
"Tell him, return all the papyrus that Lao Tzu gave him." After speaking, Qin Yu waved his hand.
"Yaga! Bastard, you are beating up the Imperial expatriate, and the Great Japanese Empire will not give up. The boat Lin Zhu was blinded by Qin Yu's fire just now, and this time he came back to his senses and scolded.
"Smack, smack!" Ding Cheng directly slapped Lin Zhu twice and threw him out.
