Chapter 172: The Ming Dynasty Population Is Not Enough?
After reading the news ahead, Zhu Jingyuan turned to the map around the Great Qinhai on the other side.
Looking at Crete, Tripoli, and Tunisia, these places will be gradually emptied in the future.
Daming had to arrange for immigrants to come in before he could really take possession of these lands.
Zhu Jingyuan basically didn't think much about it, so he asked the palace to write a telegram and ask the imperial court to emigrate.
As a result, the household department quickly replied:
"There are too many places that need to be immigrated now, and His Royal Highness Prince Dashi will give a detailed introduction to the advantages of the areas to be immigrated, and what preferential conditions can be provided to immigrants in the local area, so that the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites can help His Royal Highness the Prince to publicize."
Zhu Jingyuan looked at the reply letter and fell into deep thought.
He and most of the Ming generals were accustomed to claiming that the Ming had no shortage of population, and disdained the population of other ethnic groups.
As a result, it is now found that the population of Daming may not be enough!
There are now about 350 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and the total population of all ethnic groups in all vassal states should be more than 700 million.
The land area that the Great Eclipse Ming now occupies is almost two-thirds of the entire earth's land area.
These populations, especially the 350 million people in the country, had little advantage over the Qing Dynasty, which was an agrarian society during the same period.
Mainly for more than 100 years, the Ming Dynasty has been continuing to emigrate outward.
After industrialization, the momentum of population growth, which should have lasted for a long time, was curbed by the world war, which lasted for more than a decade.
So the existing population is a bit insufficient.
But now the war is finally over.
According to Zhu Jingyuan's historical experience in his previous life, a baby boom would break out after the end of a world war, especially in the victorious countries.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is building on a large scale for most of the world, workers and immigrants have to come up with enough conditions to find it.
Not only shipbuilding-related industries, but now factories across the country are actually busy.
The entire Ming Dynasty stood on the huge cusp of the victory of the Great War, large-scale colonial expansion, and the second industrial revolution.
The strong demand for workers in the market has allowed all ordinary people to earn enough money, and the standard of living has skyrocketed.
It's sure to make the baby boom even harder.
Zhu Jingyuan estimates that the population of Daming will at least double in the next 20 years.
As for the food supply needed for the population to skyrocket......
It doesn't seem to be a problem either.
Since the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never been short of food.
As an agricultural civilization, the Ming Dynasty has experienced a very painful lesson, and now it has enough fertile land to not allow any problems with the food supply.
There are about 350 million people in Daming, and the local grain production can basically meet all needs, and it can be balanced without imports.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty controlled the grain-producing areas of the Indochina Peninsula, which could be used as a direct external guarantee for the local grain supply.
There is also the New Tianfu Huangzhuang, if the local grain production is released, it is enough to supply the entire Ming Dynasty.
All grain-producing areas are large-scale farms, and there is no longer a model of small-scale intensive farming.
The actual total grain output of the entire Ming Dynasty exceeded the actual food ration demand by more than four times.
Three-quarters of the grain is used in other industries such as aquaculture, winemaking, and chemicals.
Nor did any merchant dare to manipulate the grain, because the amount within the industry was too large.
The key is that the emperor controls the New Tianfu Huangzhuang, a huge world-class granary.
When the new Tianfu Huangzhuang stops brewing, the surplus grain can make the hoarders jump off the building.
Under such circumstances, the exploration of the Great Plains of North Yinzhou is also about to begin.
There will be more big farms to be built.
More grain production is basically impossible to participate in the supply of rations, and the vast majority of it will go directly to animal husbandry.
Further increase the supply of meat and eggs and continue to improve the overall standard of living.
The time when ordinary people can eat meat every day will not be too far away.
Now that ordinary workers have money, food will continue to be abundant, and the world is finally at peace.
In this kind of hot era, having children will also be in full swing.
Zhu Jingyuan feels that it will be necessary for this generation of baby boomers to grow up, and Daming will barely lack many people.
But what should I do in front of me?
Is it like selling a house to advertise to attract people?
But even if you advertise, you may not be able to attract many people.
In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, if a place like Crete recruited immigrants, it would not be difficult at all.
Europe, the Mediterranean, Greece, the Aegean Sea, these words are piled up, and the words of unconditional immigration must be as much as there are.
But now, the Ming people have little interest in Taixi, and the general impression is that it is the hometown of Xiyi, the place with the most Xiyi people.
Except for a small number of people who are interested in studying Xiyi, ordinary people will not think of immigrating to Taixi.
At present, the first goal of the Ming people is Xintianfu, and this perception is basically impossible to be reversed in the future.
Because no matter how you compare it in all aspects, the Great Qin Sea and the Taixi Continent are completely defeated compared to the New Heavenly Mansion.
Even if you don't consider the mature cultural and environmental factors of the Ming Dynasty, and simply consider the climate and environment, Daqinhai and Taixi are also completely defeated.
The Ming people are an agricultural people, and immigrants first see whether they are suitable for farming, and Taixi is a complete defeat in this regard.
Even if it is only considered whether it is suitable for living, Da Qinhai and Taixi are also not good.
Among the knowledge Zhu Jingyuan learned in school in his last life, the description of the climate of the Great Qinhai Sea and the temperate oceanic climate of northwestern Thailand gives people a feeling that it is particularly suitable for human habitation.
That's actually influenced by the filter of Tessie's cultural superiority, as well as the more obvious influence of the filter of developed countries.
In fact, the climate around the Taixi Continent and the Great Qin Sea is not enough compared to the New Heavenly Mansion.
The Southern Yinzhou Continent is relatively small, only one-fifth of the entire Old Continent of Shen Oumo.
The intensity of land and sea convection in Nanyinzhou is much lower than that of the Old World, and the climate of the Old World will become "smooth" here.
The core area of Xintianfu, that is, the plain area in the southeast of Nanyinzhou, has the same climate type as the southern region of the Daming River in theory, which is a subtropical monsoon humid climate.
Therefore, the temperature and precipitation changes here are basically the same as those in the Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty, but on the whole it has become more relaxed.
Summers are not as hot and winters are not as cold.
For example, the new Tianfu City is the Argentine capital of Zhu Jingyuan's last life, Buenos Aires.
The daily temperature ranges from 7 to 14 degrees in winter and between 20 and 30 degrees in summer.
Sanqing City, opposite Xintianfu, was named after Sanqing between New Chongqing and Sanqing, which was once the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo.
Winter temperatures range from eight to sixteen degrees Celsius and summer temperatures range from eighteen to twenty-eight degrees.
Even the extremely low temperature caused by the sudden cold wave, that is, in the range of minus three to five degrees, is almost the normal low temperature in North China.
The climate of the southeast coastal area of Xintianfu seems to the Ming people to move back and forth between mid-spring and early summer throughout the year, and it is the same period of rain and heat.
The summer around Daqinhai is dry and hot in different periods of rain and heat.
In the heat-deprived northwestern part of Thailand, due to the long period of cold and dampness, a strange collective sunbathing custom has formed.
In addition to this mild hardship, other areas of Nanyinzhou also have peculiar "mild deserts" and "mild rainforests".
Lima, the capital of Peru, is in the desert, but the temperature is 14 to 18 degrees in winter and 19 to 26 degrees in summer.
Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is located in the mountains, with temperatures ranging from eight to twenty degrees every day of the year, and spring all year round.
Medellín, the second largest city, has temperatures between 17 and 28 degrees Celsius every day of the year, and early summer all year round.
Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is located on a low plateau in the interior, with temperatures ranging from 13 to 25 degrees in winter and 18 to 27 degrees in summer.
In fact, the Australian continent, which is half smaller than Nanyinzhou, will be further "smoothed" by all climate types.
However, Australia's terrain is one of the worst in the world, and the exact opposite of Nan Yin Chau, where most of the area is desert and arid.
Australia's habitable area is too small, and the key is that there are not many suitable places for farming, and the land is not fertile.
Therefore, the new Tianfu of the Ming people is Nanyinzhou, not the closer Australian continent.
If the Australian continent is flipped left and right, it may become a strong contender for the new Tianfu.
But the question is, he is now in charge of the surroundings of the Great Qinhai, not Xintianfu, how can he pull people here?
You can't take the imperial court's forced immigration, Daming hasn't done that for a long time, and the actual effect is not good.
This is overseas rather than local, and the purpose of immigrating here is to keep the land, not to serve as a source of tax revenue......
Zhu Jingyuan thought about coming, thinking about going, and found that the biggest advantage of Daqinhai was that there was already a Xiyi population here.
The Ming people should be able to directly become the middle and upper class.
But he gave these people to the Ottomans in exchange for the ownership of Crete.
After the locals were sent away, the only advantage here was that there were people in the past, so there were ready-made houses to live in.
Even if you send houses in other areas, most of them are materials for immigrants to build by themselves, and they can really send them directly.
And then continue to blow a wave of spring all year round? Warm in winter and cool in summer? Anyway, most of the immigrants have never been to Xintianfu, so it is difficult to actually compare.
Compared with the northern region of the Ming Dynasty, it should barely be regarded as warm in winter and cool in summer.
In addition, there are ready-made exotic customs to experience, and there are still some advantages here in Daqinhai.
Then there is a new question, after these immigrants are brought in, how should the follow-up life and work be arranged?
If it is not suitable for farming, there is no need for a large number of farmers, and it should be dominated by industry, commerce and services.
In the future, oil refining, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, trade, tourism, and even automobile and machinery manufacturing may develop here......
But the first thing to start is the construction of the project, which is to first lay railways and roads and oil pipelines.
Therefore, it is still the same as the big food country, starting with the construction of engineering immigrants.
Where the workers go depends on the salary, and the house and the salary are a little higher, so they should be able to attract people.
Zhu Jingyuan laid out a general direction and ideas, and asked the long history, the books, and the staff to make a development plan for propaganda.
The propaganda plan is not a formal development plan, so the content can be relatively brief, with certain gimmicks and exaggerations.
After sorting it out, let the book write documents according to these plans and reply to the Imperial Household Department to apply for immigration.
Zhu Jingyuan himself wrote another telegram, directly to his father and grandfather.
Let your father confirm the administrative divisions of Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria, and Crete as soon as possible.
It is proposed that all of them should still be allocated to the big food countries, but at the same time, a political envoy should be established.
In any case, the feudal kingdom will be withdrawn in the future, and there is no point in establishing a new feudal state alone, and the Great Food Country does not mind nominally managing some more regions.
The key is to prepare officials for these places as soon as possible, and at the same time, there are also big food countries that need more officials.
Now there are more and more things in the big food country, and Liu Zhixin, an honest courtier, is too busy to come.
It is necessary to arrange for himself to be a shrewd and capable right-hand long history, and then add a right-hand trial to share the work of Liu Zhixin and Xu Minghui.
After writing it, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly realized that the place where officials were wanted was definitely not just the Great Food Country.
Now the Ming Dynasty may not only have enough population, but also the officials.
Now I'm afraid that as long as you graduate from university, you can go directly to overseas to become an official.
