Chapter 823: Mobilization, Population, Homecoming
When Zhu Fugui received the letter of thanks from Tangshan No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant online, Daming, a hidden industrial monster, began to roar and debut.
His Majesty the Emperor ordered 200,000 road construction workers, 30,000 Royal Army engineering troops, and 300,000 non-free workers of Royal Europa to march from Shenzhou, Yinzhou, Wadao and other places into the ancient and wild land of Xianbeilia.
This is undoubtedly the largest project in human history, far exceeding that of the North American Pacific Railway.
In the non-public documents, the [Daming Xianbeilia Railway Construction Committee] predicted that the road construction campaign was to be prepared to bear more than 50,000 casualties and complete the project of the century within two years.
The two-year construction period is much shorter than the 10-year construction period of the Russians.
But even regardless of equipment and materials, the manpower of both sides alone, Daming invested more than 5 times more than the Russians.
So two years is a very conservative expectation, and there is a high possibility of early completion.
However, the casualty rate will certainly increase with the degree of rush.
This requires a certain trade-off.
As for who is injured and who is dead, it is not enough to be an outsider.
However, in this road construction operation, the morale of the white slaves was very high, and they were not intimidated by the possible attrition rate of up to 1/6.
They sang the traditional French folk song "Today I am a Ming person" and embarked on a journey.
Although it is not as enthusiastic and convicted as the road builders and engineers of the Ming Dynasty, it is much better than the historical situation when the workers' will was almost broken during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Because even the white slaves, when the railway was built in Xianbeilia, the Ming court also promised to ensure a daily supply of 3,500 kcal of energy, which contained at least one canned fish or pig's head meat, some potatoes or corn pieces, and enough fat king.
Now that the red neck is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui originally wanted to let King Yufat withdraw from the stage of history.
Unexpectedly, they were met with a collective protest from the rednecks, claiming to ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor to respect their traditions and respect their food culture.
Considering the length of the history of the American nation, Yufat King can indeed be regarded as their traditional food, and Zhu Fugui is not unpopular with the people.
Today, "FatteningKing" has become a registered trademark, and the English name is "fatteningking", which is a very stable income-generating enterprise under the name of Zhu Fugui.
In addition to an adequate supply of food, the Ming side also provided strong medical security.
In case of injury or illness, adequate amounts of antibiotics and hormones can be used.
Although it is a veterinary drug, it is in line with their tradition that their descendants still use veterinary medicine more than a hundred years later.
Zhu Fugui doesn't think that if these white slaves were not captured by themselves, their descendants would be capitalists or elites on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and most of them would be poor and pathetic people who took veterinary drugs to resist the virus.
The biggest challenge in Simberia is, of course, the climate, which is not to mention the severe cold.
The Daming Xianbeilia Railway Construction Committee will each of them be given a clay figurine handmade Tennessee cotton jacket and an aluminum foil heat-reflective sleeping bag.
These materials will greatly reduce the probability of white slaves freezing to death and frostbite.
But even so, at least 1/6 of the white slaves will be in this frozen land.
This is the price of necessity.
Fortunately, for them, after the project is completed, each person can get 300 points, as long as they make up a little more, they can become naturalized Daming.
Of course, there is no Juka for this naturalization.
That is, the political status of upgrading from white slaves to ordinary Japanese people.
To get the Daming Zhuka, we have to work harder.
It is precisely because there are 300 points to be taken that some Japanese and North Koreans have also signed up.
However, the number of people is relatively small.
Because for them, participating in General Morishita's kamikaze death squad, one person is heroic, and the whole family is naturalized, this is a more efficient way.
As for the Siamese......
Even if these guys sign up, the Ministry of Engineering won't want them.
During the Chinese New Year, Siam experienced a rare low temperature, with temperatures reaching minus 7 degrees Celsius, and according to the Siam Propaganda Department, hundreds of people froze to death in a month......
Of course, whether it is a Japanese people, Koreans, or white slaves, the reason why they are so energetic is still inseparable from the consistent and strong reputation of the Ming court.
Everyone has heard about the construction of roads in Myanmar by Siamese people.
After building thousands of kilometers of roads, more than 3,000 Jiaozhi people died.
What is it?
This is the supreme good!
Everyone believed that the medicines, food, and warm equipment promised by the imperial court would be in place.
Building roads in Simberia may sound scary, but it is nothing less scary than working for capitalists in the factories of Chicago and London.
Of course, in addition to the record number of manpower, the supply of various materials is the top priority.
The Heishui Metropolitan Grain and Oil Train, which the Russian mission had previously ridden, became the most important supply line.
Not only does food and household goods go to Chambella, but countless amounts of steel also keep the railway running at full capacity.
You must know that in order to build this miracle Mobei Iron and Steel Road, Zhu Fugui emptied the secret inventory of an entire workshop of Tangshan No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant!
That's enough steel to make the whole world tremble.
Of course, it is more likely that in 10 Downing Street, the fat man who smokes in reverse angrily reprimands the incompetent intelligence officer, and makes a special mistake in the decimal point of the intelligence number, right?
Even if I smoked this Indian cigar upside down and swallowed it in my stomach, it would be absolutely impossible for the Ming people to produce so much steel!
When pigs fly!
But even if the roar of old Churchill resounded through Downing Street, Zhu Fugui couldn't control all this, and he had already embarked on a journey across the Pacific Ocean to return to his longing home.
When Zhu Fugui returned to Fengdu, it was already around the Qingming Festival, just in time to attend the opening ceremony of the Fengdu School of Political Science and Economics.
The birth of this academy also drew on the experience of the old imperialists who brought Britain.
The London School of Economics and Political Science has not only provided many excellent politicians for their own country, but has also contributed to the maintenance of Britain's global influence in the post-colonial era, especially within the Commonwealth.
Train your own politicians, forget it.
Zhu Fugui had no intention of establishing a school to teach people to fool the people, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty still had to come from the grassroots level step by step and get full training, so that they could be more reassured.
It is possible for Fengdu School of Political Science and Economics to train a group of grassroots cadres, combining theory with practice.
In addition, it is also a good idea to cultivate a large number of staunch supporters of the Ming system, defenders of the Ming Dynasty tributary circle, and converts to Ming culture.
With the signing of the Treaty, Alexander II has been officially upgraded to "Brother Alexander" in Zhu Fugui's dictionary.
Since Brother Alexander sent his daughter to study so face-saving, then Da Ming naturally tried to see if this method was feasible.
·
This time it took a long time to leave Fengdu, and in the past two years, even Zhu Fugui himself couldn't recognize the new look of Fengdu.
It's like about 2,000 to 2,000 years, when the country's infrastructure construction was at its peak, it was common for people to be away from home for two years, and it was common for them to come back and not be able to recognize the door.
The situation in Fengdu is not so exaggerated, but the completion of the fourth phase of the main city of Fengdu and Metro Line 3 has brought great changes to the city.
Because it is painted on a blank piece of paper, the urban layout of Fengdu is considered decades or even hundreds of years in advance.
Zhu Fugui has a large piece of reserve land in his hands.
The southern area between the new Bohai Bay and the Fengdu Imperial Palace is expected to accommodate an additional population of 800,000.
If it can be realized, then the population of Fengdu will exceed that of London's 5 million, becoming the largest city in the world today.
In this day and age, 5 million people is impressive.
In Beijing, where the puppet Qing Dynasty was held, there were only about 1 million people in the city, and there were not even 800,000 people in Constantinople, the capital of Rome.
The population of Yinzhou has gradually relied on immigration and encouragement to give birth, and it has almost reached 70 or 80 million.
The population of Laomei is close to the end of the 19th century.
The Ming Dynasty occupies most of the land in northern Mexico and Canada, so the land area in Yinzhou is larger than that of the United States.
However, given the two marquis states of the United States, the Yankees also occupy three or five states east of the Great Lakes, which are more livable than northern Mexico and Canada, so the population density of the Ming Dynasty is actually slightly greater than that of the old United States at the end of the century.
On the Shenzhou side, although many immigrants have been relocated, under the policy of encouraging childbirth, the population has basically recovered, about 400 million.
Combined with the Ming citizens of Nanyang, Wadao, Andong Prefecture, Tuao Xuanwei Division and other places, as well as reserve citizens who do not have Zhuka, the total population of Daming is 550 million.
In the future, Daming's birth subsidy policy will swing with population fluctuations, and the goal is to hope that the population curve will become smooth and avoid large fluctuations.
The ultimate goal of the Ming population is about 20~2.5 billion, which can be maintained at about 1/3 of the total global population.

At present, Fengdu is still the most prosperous and advanced city in the Ming Dynasty.
With such a large population, it is imperative to build a well-developed metro network.
Zhu Fugui did plan in advance for the subway, but the so-called plan can't catch up with the changes, and it is inevitable that things like digging roads and demolishing houses will eventually occur.
When Zhu Fugui left Fengdu, many places were dug up, and now that he is back, Metro Line 3 has been running stably for more than half a year.
Such a Daming speed is indeed staggering.
However, Zhu Fugui returned to the grand welcome ceremony held by the imperial court, and he took a large convertible car and returned to the imperial palace all the way, but he had never seen the new subway.
Of course, Kennedy sat in a convertible - brainstorming, Zhu Fugui said that it was a convertible car in order to avoid such possible dangers, but in fact, he opened the bulletproof plate and waved at everyone when he took pictures, and most of the time he was cowered in the thick bulletproof steel plate.
Now there are almost five million people in Fengdu, and it is no longer the Fengdu with two or three kittens back then.
At that time, Zhu Fugui could go deep into the masses unscrupulously and mingle with the masses, but now he has to put security factors first.
Who knows if there will be spies and agents of enemy countries among the nearly a million people who are caught in the welcome?
Previously, he was ambushed by the British Empire and the Siam Kingdom's double ace agent Da Bai Elephant in the port of Gwadar, Tatar, causing Li Banban to almost take the golden juice, and the painful lesson is still in front of him, Zhu Fugui does not dare to joke with his own life.
