Holding the specific information handed over by Ouyang Geng about the current slave labor within the Huo Jiajun, after reading it, Huo Shan couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't pity these natives, but realized that it was only more than 12 million indigenous laborers that were a little insufficient compared to the huge scale of Huo Jiajun's current infrastructure. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Huo Jiajun occupied most of the islands in the South Seas, random inspections estimated that the indigenous population of the entire Southeast Asian region, including the Indochina Peninsula, was about 60 million! Then, excluding women, the elderly, and the children that Huo Jiajun wanted to stay, the remaining people who could participate in manual labor were about 20 million! Although several countries in Indochina Peninsula, including the Spanish colony of Luzon, Huo Jiajun did not openly occupy them, this did not prevent Huo Jiajun from obtaining slave labor from these places.

Five years have passed since the Huo Jiajun occupied Nanyang, and the number of slave laborers in the hands of the Huo Jiajun has reached more than 16 million!

However, due to the heavy physical labor, the humid and hot environment of the Nanyang rainforest, the harsh natural conditions, and the extremely poor health care, in five years, even without the pressure of the Huo Jiajun, nearly four million people fell forever in the dense rainforest of the Nanyang.

In addition, according to the statistics of the Government Council, in five years, these indigenous laborers contributed 18 wharves with a tonnage of more than 200,000 tons, 30 wharves with a tonnage of more than 100,000 tons, and more than 50 new reinforced concrete wharves with a tonnage of less than 100,000 tons. They have also contributed more than 40,000 kilometers of railways, 350,000 kilometers of roads, as well as more than 100 new cities and more than 2 million hectares of agricultural land. These infrastructure facilities alone. In addition to paying a little food, the indigenous laborers, who spent almost no money, saved Huo Jiajun nearly 300 million silver dollars, which greatly supported Huo Jiajun's economic construction.

It can be said that the reason why Huo Jiajun's economic aggregate has been able to grow rapidly at a rate of almost doubling every year is that in addition to the large-scale investment regardless of losses, a very important factor is the contribution of these indigenous laborers. As the supreme ruler of the Huo family, Huo Shan himself certainly knew this.

This is also when the war between Huo Jiajun and the United States is about to start, he still does not hesitate to travel thousands of nautical miles. The reason for summoning Ouyang Geng from Ma Chen to Taiwan.

Because he himself is well aware that the nearly six million square kilometers of land west of the Mississippi River and Alaska that he has just recaptured from the Americans, except for a limited number of two dozen cities. It's almost a wilderness, and the Americans with a limited population have not had time to develop it. Therefore, Huo Jiajun wanted to completely bring this place under his rule, except for a large number of immigrants. Just like five years ago when Nanyang was developed. It is necessary and necessary to make great efforts in infrastructure construction.

Of course, a large number of indigenous laborers are also needed, although people can be transferred from Nanyang, but in five years, the infrastructure construction in Nanyang is only a basic framework, with the development of the economy and the increase in population, the demand for infrastructure projects in Nanyang will continue to increase, and the demand for labor will continue to increase, and 12 million slave laborers can only meet the needs of Nanyang.

Even if there is still a labor supplement from Indochina. I'm afraid there won't be much slave labor to support the development and construction of Huojiajun's American provinces and cities.

"Young Master, maybe we can use our own people!" As a senior official within the Huo Family's Military Administration Council and the head of the Human Resources Department. Of course, Ouyang Geng is very clear about the shortage of labor that Huo Jiajun is facing now. Although they were able to absorb a steady stream of people from the Qing Dynasty, a region with great human resources, these people came for the land that Huo Jiajun gave almost free of charge.

"No!" Although there was a hint of emotion in his heart when Ouyang Geng said it, Huo Shan still shook his head very firmly, because he was very aware of the horror of the Nanyang rainforest, the complex terrain, Countless poisonous insects and beasts, coupled with the hot and humid weather, devoured the lives of Huo Jiajun laborers who wanted to carry out pioneering activities here, and in five years, more than four million indigenous laborers fell on this land, which is very revealing, such a high mortality rate, Huo Shan said that he could not joke with the lives of his compatriots.

In addition, a large number of their own people will undoubtedly be invested in wages, medical care, etc., although now Huo Jiajun has a large amount of money looted by Huo Shan from the economic crisis as a backing, but Huo Jiajun's infrastructure construction is like a huge gold-swallowing beast, even if there is more money thrown into it, it can't be filled. Therefore, in order to save more money to promote Huo Jiajun's own economic development, use every money to the best of his ability, and reach the economic level of a European power as soon as possible, he still prefers to use slave labor that almost does not cost money to ensure Huo Jiajun's own development.

After standing up and walking around the study a few times, and then stopping and observing the world map next to the wall for a while, Huo Shan's expression was certain, and he turned to look at Ouyang Geng, who was following him, and ordered: "After you go back, immediately go to the Human Resources Department to mobilize 2.5 million indigenous laborers to our American provinces and cities to support the construction there." As for the remaining slave laborers?"

After a pause, Huo Shan grabbed the long wooden pole next to him, and knocked on the huge piece of land deep into the ocean with a 'snap', "Just fill it with Indians!"

"Indian?" Ouyang Geng asked with some surprise.

"Young master, although India has a population of nearly 200 million, second only to the Qing Dynasty, and is rich in human resources, it is a colony of the British! Can they allow us to use a large number of Indian laborers?"

In fact, Huo Shan didn't want to use Indians, not because it was a British colony, but because the Indians were too lazy, if they weren't lucky enough to occupy such a rich place as the Indian subcontinent, I'm afraid they would have starved to death a long time ago. In comparison, Huo Shan wants to use the Japanese more, except for China in the world, it can be said that little Japan is the best labor, and the degree of hardship and hard work is second only to the Chinese! In addition, they are also easier to discipline.

In fact, in Huoshan's plan, there is a North Korean one, but most of the North Koreans are descendants of the Han people, whether it is a surname, or a living habit, or even a culture that is in the same vein as China, as long as they are transferred out of the Korean Peninsula, it will not take long for them to become pure Chinese, and the difficulty of ethnic integration is much smaller, so Huo Shan has no intention of using the Koreans to open up the wasteland. After all, the size of the population in this era is also a benchmark for measuring a country's comprehensive national strength.

Especially in modern China, if it weren't for China's population of more than 450 million and its huge land area, which no country in the world would have the strength and appetite to swallow in one bite, I am afraid that China would not have survived its subsequent rise again. Moreover, after the founding of New China in later generations, Taizu's population policy also gave China the military resources to make the world fear, ensuring that the country could stand proudly under the pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union, and eventually become a world power again.

"Don't worry, Zhaoting! There are so many Indians, millions less, the British don't care at all, and now the British are attracted by the economic crisis, the Egyptian war, and our war with the Americans, as long as India is not chaotic, and then they are guaranteed to be in a dominant position wherever they are, and can obtain considerable wealth, the other British will not care! I am afraid that they still wish that these Indian monkeys could be a little less, and that they would be able to give them less trouble when the time comes!"

"I understand, young master!" After listening to Huo Shan's words, Ouyang Geng recorded Huo Shan's request in his work log.

"Tell the teacher about this matter when you go back, and when the time comes, I will ask the military department and the military intelligence bureau to cooperate with you!"

"Yes, young master! If there is nothing to do, I will go back first!" Looking at Huo Shan and looking at the world map pasted on the wall without movement for a long time, Ouyang Geng couldn't help but say. You must know that as the first five-year plan comes to an end, and the development of American provinces and cities will also be in full swing, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to decide in the human resources department, but there is no time to be as leisurely as Young Master Huo.

"Well, okay!" After the matter was explained, Huo Shan did not leave Ouyang Geng, who was obviously busy. And after arranging so many things in the morning, Huo Shan himself was a little tired!

However, not long after Ouyang Geng left, there was another sound of footsteps outside the study, which made Huo Shan understand that his desire to rest for a while had been disappointed again!

"Fu Bo, why did you come here in person, just call Huo Lei and them if you have something!" Looking at the old man who was in good spirits, full of silver hair, but still had a ruddy face, Huo Shan asked with a close harmony in his tone.

"Hehe, young master, the old slave is not old enough to move, and he can still be busy for the young master and the Huo family for ten years!" the old man said loudly in a loud tone.

In the past few years, although the Huo family's business has become bigger and bigger, and the power of the Huo family army has become more and more huge, he feels that he has little energy, and he feels that he can't keep up with the times, so he took the initiative to give up the power in his hands to Huo Huang and Huo Yu, the Huo family's outstanding small characters, and he is just in charge of these things in Huojiazhuang in Taiwan.

With less management, he naturally has more energy, coupled with the kung fu on his body, under the strength and fitness, the old man looks stronger than before, even if he is now in his prime, he is still wearing only a thin gray robe. (To be continued.) )
