Chapter 1308: Similarities and Differences
Although Qiu Yuan is not an official in charge of immigration affairs, he has access to a high level of information and is all too clear about how Haihan has obtained immigrants over the past few years. At the beginning of the founding of the Haihan Dynasty, it relied on acting as mercenaries to assist the Annam royal family in quelling the turmoil, thus gaining a large number of Annam immigrants in return. Later, the Denglai Rebellion broke out in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and Haihan also made full use of this opportunity to transport back a large number of war refugees from the local area. These two large-scale immigration operations alone brought tens of thousands of people to Haihan, and the cost of daily recruitment of immigrants was much lower, as long as there were ships and food, they could continue to move immigrants in, such an immigration plan was naturally the most cost-effective method in Qiu Yuan's opinion.
Of course, Qiu Yuan is not from the military, and he does not have a clear idea of how much money it will cost to start a war and how much time it will take to prepare. He believed that wars fought overseas could bring a large number of cheap people to the Haihan, but whether it would be beneficial for the Haihan to participate in them, the decision-makers of the Executive Committee must not only consider the population issue, but also the impact on international relations. Otherwise, the Leizhou Peninsula, which is only separated by a strait from Hainan Island, would have been taken by the Haihan as Qiu Yuan said.
Qiu Yuan, who is a more pragmatic person, gave a brief briefing on Haikou's recent developments, and then invited the inspection team to visit some key local projects. This is basically the routine task of the patrol team every time they go to each place, and everyone is accustomed to this arrangement.
Haikou's local basic industries are still dominated by agriculture, of which planting and fishing occupy the majority. Similar to the rest of the country, Haikou also has a large number of collective farms and plantations within its jurisdiction, and almost all kinds of cash crops that have been cultivated on Hainan Island can be found here. The abundant water resources in the Nandu River basin provide excellent natural conditions for farmland irrigation, and the plain area of Jiangdong has become one of the main grain-producing areas on Hainan Island.
"Last year, about one-third of China's grain was produced in Haikou, and I believe that this proportion will be further increased after thousands of acres of rice fields are newly cultivated this year. Qiu Yuan proudly introduced the local food production to the visitors: "If you can stay in the local area for a few more days, I am going to take you to the Jiangdong area to see the farms there, and the scenery in this season is still spectacular." ”
Yu Xiaobao responded: "I'm afraid the schedule is a little tight, we stayed in Danzhou for three more days, and the schedule behind is affected, if we delay here for too long, we won't be able to rush back to Sanya according to the scheduled time." ”
Liu Shang was relieved when he heard this, and he was able to return to Sanya earlier, and his psychological pressure could be slightly reduced. Although Haikou's agricultural development sounds very powerful, Liu Shang believes that it is only planted on a larger scale, and is not much different from the agricultural development model in other parts of the island.
In the past, he only knew the operation of the small-scale peasant economic model, but after seeing it in various parts of Haihan, he knew the power of this large-scale operation, and its development and operating costs were much lower than those of the traditional model, and it was easier to control the social group of farmers.
Although Haihan's high-ranking officials talk about "industrialization", in reality it is still an agriculture-based country, but the production efficiency is much higher than that of traditional agricultural countries such as the Ming Dynasty. The group that makes up the main force of society is still the agricultural population, which accounts for the majority. A large part of the civil strife that the Ming Dynasty is currently facing is the loss of control over the agricultural population, which has led to civil wars. Haihan has done an excellent job in this regard, firmly binding the agricultural population to national interests through a series of systems and policies such as land, agricultural development, and national labor hierarchy.
Liu Shang's ability to interpret specific policies is limited, and he does not fully understand some of Haihan's policy intentions, but after looking at various places, he can clearly realize that the life of the grassroots agricultural population is much more stable than that of the peasants in the Ming Dynasty. Although it will not become rich overnight, it will never lead to the loss of life because of reduced food production or social unrest, or even the end of a family being ruined and fleeing from home.
