Chapter 475: Super Project

China's super project is not only the control of the Yellow River, since the surrender of Beiyang in 1909 and the unification of the whole country, various super projects and quasi-super projects have been continuously launched. In fact, in a sense, the construction of the capital Hanjing is also a super project, which is a super mega city with a design capacity of 30 million people and a complex underground network.

After the First World War, China, which had made a lot of money, was even more full of horsepower, and all kinds of jaw-dropping super engineering projects were introduced, and the scale of construction reached a peak.

What is the integration of villages, the Yellow River control project, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the North-South Water Diversion Project, the Desert Transformation Project, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau Reconstruction Project, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Railway and Highway Transportation Network, the "Nine Vertical and Thirteen Horizontal" Expressway National Highway Trunk Network, Railway Network and Railway Electrification, High-speed Railway Network, Pan-Asian Railway Network, Qinling Tunnel, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Sea-crossing Bridge and Undersea Tunnel, Southern Tibet Water Vapor Channel, Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project, Jinsha River Water Conservancy Project, Yarlung Zangbo River Water Conservancy Project, Changxing Island Shipbuilding Center, Deep-Water Port Scheme...... And so on, and Mr. Wen has a high vision, and those that can be included in the super projects by him are basically cross-regional projects, as for the Wuhan Railway Station, Hanjing International Airport, Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center, etc., which are very tall and tall single buildings, they are not eligible to be included in the list of super projects.

There is no way, Mr. Wen has funds, technology, manpower, materials, and equipment, so he is capricious!

Moreover, compared with the original time and space, the current Chinese population is less, and there are few people in many places that need to carry out super projects, coupled with the projects carried out before and after the founding of the country, such as "merging villages and villages" and "urban relocation", the places to be constructed have been vacated in advance, and things like demolition and relocation and immigration are much less. In addition, Mr. Wen's law is strict, and anyone who dares to be a nail household has only one way to go, or the whole family is reformed.

In addition, during the construction of these mega projects, although a large amount of manpower was used, a large number of these troops were re-education through labor camps, and the labor cost was extremely low. Now Mr. Wen and the leaders of relevant departments feel that these "cheap labor" are very useful, and now they wish to have more. However, there are not many re-education workers in the country at present, after all, all the people who were liquidated during the revolution have gone to work, and the disobedient children in the new territory are now all in civilized schools.

China's laws are strict, the crime rate is very low, and the number of people who are sent to re-education through labor each year is limited, and now the general manager has even given instructions to the courts, except for crimes where the circumstances are particularly heinous and the impact is particularly serious, and not killing is not enough to anger the people, there is no need to sentence them to death, so that they can use labor to atone for their crimes in this life. But even so, compared to those massive projects, this is a drop in the bucket, and it is simply not enough.

So the bigwigs who wanted cheap labor hit the refugees in the neighboring countries with their ideas.

Zhang Lizheng, Premier Zhang once said to the people below: "Don't prevent refugees from entering our country, we need these cheap labor ...... very much now." In this era, there is no chirping of the White Left Virgin, and European and American societies are not looking down on refugees, especially those in the colonies, and they naturally will not care what China uses these refugees for.

Now the war of independence and liberation in India and Africa is very hot, and there are many refugees fleeing the war. Many refugees from India, Myanmar and Somalia have fled to China, while others have fled to Afghanistan, Siam and Persia. Technicians, engineers, cute girls, etc., who have absorbable value, will stay, and send Confucius schools to brainwash and spare them, and if they do not absorb value, they will be sent to civilized schools to study in labor, or sentenced to labor reform for the crime of illegal entry. As for those younger brothers' countries, it's up to the younger brothers themselves, if they are willing to accept them, let it be, for example, Afghanistan has received a lot of Punjabi refugees, it doesn't matter if they are a nation. If the younger brothers are unwilling to accept it, China will take it over and deal with it in accordance with the above principles.

As for the Black Shu refugees, it will be more troublesome, because China's territory in Africa is only Yanqiu (Djibouti), and the bordering colony is only Somalia, and there are very few people fleeing here. It wasn't until Japan joined the People's Revolutionary Federation and the four states of West Africa that there were a little more. In addition, it was the British and French imperialism that dealt with the rebels they had captured, or the blacks, Arabs, and Berbers whom they judged to be "likely to rebel" to China. Of course, such sources are relatively rare.

China still deals with these refugees from all over the world in the same way as it did with the indigenous people of the East Indies and Indochina in the past. Scientists, engineers, cute girls, and those with technology and other absorbable value stayed, first implanted with chips, and then sent to Confucius schools for brainwashing education. After the chip is implanted without absorbing the value, it is sent to a civilized school to study in labor, or sentenced to labor reform for the crime of illegal entry. Of course, most of the people in these places are the latter, and these men not only have to implant chips during the quarantine process, but also have to remove the nerves in charge of Xiao Dingding, which is also good for them, without that kind of thinking and ability, there will be a lot less trouble, for example, there will be no more tragedies such as "picking up soap" between them. Mr. Wen has always felt that he is a kind person.

It is precisely because of these cheap laborers from all over the world that China's super projects can be completed so smoothly.

In addition to these infrastructures, China is also carrying out large-scale tree planting and other work across the country, not just on the Loess Plateau, but as a truly national campaign. Someone like Moon, who values arable land so much, would never allow such a situation as "soil erosion caused by poor soil and water conservation, which ultimately leads to a reduction in arable land." Besides, he also knew that there would be greater hidden worries in the future, so he sent a lot of re-education through labor personnel to plant trees and grasses in various ways.

This large-scale planting of trees and grasses has continued and has become a basic national policy, and it has never stopped. It's just that later tree planters became full-time occupations, the number of people decreased, and wages increased. Wen Dehei's request is that wherever there is not a field or pasture, trees should be planted if there is vacant land, and grass should be planted if it is not suitable for planting trees. Wherever grass grows on the ground in China, you must see the turf, and where you can grow trees, you must see trees. The ground can only be green, and no loess or black soil can be seen.

He is not a green terrorist or an extreme environmentalist, and he has a deep intention in pursuing this policy.

Think about it, the population and living standards of the United States in the original time and space were still in the greenhouse effect of high carbon dioxide later. Even if it does not reach the standard of living of the United States, it only needs to reach half of that of the United States. But the Chinese population is now six times that of the United States, and even if the population growth in the future is still at this rate, the amount and rate of carbon dioxide produced will be three times that of the United States, far higher than the level of previous lives.

If we do not take precautions as soon as possible and forcibly promote tree planting and greening the environment, I am afraid that the greenhouse effect will be even more severe, and the Antarctic and Antarctic icebergs will melt decades earlier, which will be very bad at that time. This is also why Wen Desi went to great lengths to interfere in the situation in the Middle East, grabbed the largest oil field on the earth, gave priority to the development of new energy and high-energy batteries such as nuclear power at full speed, developed computers as soon as possible to improve management efficiency and research and development speed, and independently separated the hydrogen energy laboratory from the Energy Physics Laboratory in 1918, and invested heavily in the development of rocket technology to lay the foundation for entering space, and arranged for Tesla to study space power generation and microwave wireless power transmission technology. All of this revolves around this fundamental reason.

A country with a standard of living half that of the United States and a population six times that of the United States is bound to cause global energy consumption and pollution to skyrocket. Wen Deji knew that this was the last and biggest problem that a time-traveler like him had to face. This is not something that can be solved by developing China in some YY novels, or even destroying the United States or returning to the Stone Age.

If it is not done well, the intensification of the greenhouse effect will lead to the rise of the sea level, and then not to mention the revival of China, I am afraid that more than half of the people in the world will die because of the flooding of arable land. There is also the problem of pollution, and at the current rate of development in China, if you don't plan early, it's normal for a situation like the one in the future to appear half a century earlier. No one wants to live in that environment.

In a world where there are time-travelers, the development of science and technology will definitely be much higher than in the normal world. It has to be. Because otherwise, the entire human world will inevitably have a tragic end, and China will naturally not be able to stand alone.

Yekaterinburg, Russian Empire.

Since the partition of Russia in two, Yekaterinburg, the largest city in the hands of the White Russians, has become the capital of the Russian Empire. Because of the Tsar's signboard, the orthodoxy of the Romanov family for hundreds of years is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Russia, and the appeal of the little father is still good, with the exception of the Soviet Russian gang. The reactionaries who did not deal with Red Russia, as well as the Tsarist magnates who feared being liquidated, all tried to flee by all means, instead of going into exile in a foreign country as in the original time and space.

Among these people were many of the great nobles, big landowners and big capitalists of the Tsarist period. Although many of them had fled and some of their possessions in the Soviet Union had been owned by the Communists, they were all immovable property, and the working capital, gold, silver and jewelry, as well as the foreign deposits they carried with them, were still in good condition. This large amount of foreign deposits was basically cheaper than the British and French banks in the original time and space, and this "desperate wealth" made conscientious bankers eat with a lot of oil.

However, the history of this plane is different, most of these former magnates are good, and the British and French banks are not easy to repay. It is a natural unspoken rule to eat "no money", but if the customer is not dead, the account must be recognized, which is the basic rule of the game. What's more, Belarus now has a China to help collect debts, even if you don't consider the face of the weak forces of Belarus, China can't afford not to give face. As a result, the foreign deposits of these former dynastic elites were recovered, and then part of the money was used for use, and the other part was naturally deposited in Chinese banks.

Driven by this gang of wealthy people, Yekaterinburg quickly returned to its former prosperity, and it was still surpassed. By now, the economic situation here has been quite good, and municipal construction has surpassed that of Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, and Petrograd.

The current Russian Empire, or White Russia, has become a de facto vassal of China, and most of the domestic economic lifeline is controlled by China. Fighting a war can cost a lot of money, especially when you have to fight an opponent who is far stronger than you, and the money is spent like running water. If we look at the map, we can find that the only country that can provide large-scale assistance to Belarus is China.

Civil wars tend to have the highest number of deaths, and the same is true of Russia's "Red and White Song Society", which has suffered heavy casualties in both the Soviet Union and Belarus after nearly four years of civil war. There are still 78 million people in the Soviet Union and only 15 million in Belarus, and there is a serious shortage of young and middle-aged men. There are only 5.2 million men left in Belarus, and only 1 million young men aged 18-40, compared to 3.3 million women in this age group.

For a country, the shortage of young and middle-aged men is a very serious social matter, not to mention war, and even normal social production is difficult to maintain.

What should I do? No, then introduce it. There's a lot of Chinese guys next door. So the two governments signed an agreement to bring in men, oh no, the introduction of labor. So after the signing of the cease-fire agreement between the Red and White Russia in 1923, a large number of Chinese men began to pour into the White Russia. While participating in the construction of various social productions in Russia, they also took on the arduous task of taking care of those Russian girls for the rest of their lives. Of course, there are also some Russian Yanmars who also went to China to work and directly found someone to marry in China.

There are now many Chinese in Yekaterinburg, including immigrants from China, clerks and businessmen who work here, and the number of Chinese here has become about 15% of the city's total population. These Chinese brought prosperity to Yekaterinburg, where Chinese signs can be seen everywhere.

Located in the Yekaterinburg market area, the Coral Food Wholesale Company is a Chinese trading company here, which mainly wholesales all kinds of Chinese food, from grain, oilseeds, salt, sugar to all kinds of canned food, candy and other foods.

At this time, more than a dozen Russians were lining up at the counter.

"Miss Long, I want 10 tons of rice and 20 tons ......of flour," said an old Russian man with a big belly with a smile.

Long Xiaoxuan replied unfazed: "What grade?" Mr. Chekov ......."

"The old rules, the cheapest ......" Chekov gestured with a thumbs up.

"Okay......" Long Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes and said: "The cheapest rice is 36 rubles per ton, and the cheapest whole wheat flour is 30 rubles, a total of 960 rubles or Chinese ......" The new ruble in Belarus is now also linked to the yuan, and it is exchanged for one to one.

Chekov didn't bargain, he knew that the rules here were not to bargain, and the price was very low locally, maybe even lower, but he definitely couldn't get so many goods. He immediately took out his wallet and counted dozens of banknotes out, both in Belarusian rubles and in yuan.

Long Xiaoxuan quickly wrote a bill of lading and handed it to him, and called the warehouse again. "Okay, you can go directly to the warehouse to pick up the goods now......"

Next was a Russian aunt, she looked at the bilingual price list on the wall, and said, "Miss Long, I want 300 kilograms of sugar, first-class." 200 kg of table salt, to refine salt. 500 litres of blended oil. Oh, to deliver ......"

"Okay, Aunt Catherine, 300 kilograms of first-class sugar are 210 rubles, 200 kilograms of refined salt are 120 rubles, 500 liters of blended oil are 450 yuan, and the shipping fee to your store is 12 yuan......"

After completing all the transactions, Long Xiaoxuan let out a long sigh.

"Today's turnover is 7,654 yuan, and the gross profit is 981 yuan......" Long Xiaoxuan made a calculation. "Hey, business isn't very easy......"

Long Xiaoxuan is a young girl who has just graduated from Shanghai Commercial College, and she heard that the teachers and seniors of the school said that the business in Russia is easy to do, so she came over to inspect it, and felt that it was not bad, so she went to the bank to apply for a business loan, and started a food wholesale in Belarus.

Belarus is not self-sufficient in grain at all, and coupled with the lack of labor, at least half of the grain has to be imported from China, and there are all kinds of food, many of which are imported from China. It's really good to do food business here, but there are more people doing it in the past two years, and the profit is not as good as in previous years.

In recent years, not only Belarus has imported grain from China, but also Japan, Afghanistan, Arabia, Nepal and other countries of the Revolutionary Union, as well as many European and African countries, have also imported grain from China.

Although many places in China have not developed cultivated land for environmental reasons, and some places in the northwest, the Loess Plateau, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau have implemented measures such as returning farmland to forests and grasslands, this has not affected China's grain production in the slightest.

China's grain production reached 880 million tons last year, of which about 400 million tons came from beaches, saline lands, tundra, deserts, rainforests, and other areas where crops could not be grown before. That's the power of science.

Since 1913, China has popularized a variety of new crops throughout the country, including salt-alkali tolerant crops such as seawater rice, salt wheat and saline-alkali cotton, desert crops such as sand wheat, bread tree and sand cotton, as well as cold-tolerant crops such as polar wheat, ice beans, snow cotton and tea, as well as rainforest crops such as wood grass and rain mulberry.

Since then, the previously unusable land has become new arable land, which adds up to 2.8 billion mu, of which only 900 million mu is used for food crops, and the rest is used for vegetables, fruits, pastures, and cash crops such as oil, sugar and fiber crops.

Long Xiaoxuan pondered for a long time, and said to herself: "The Russians like wine, and the profits of making wine are very high, but the market for this wine is not easy to squeeze into, so what can be done?" and other places have implemented measures such as returning farmland to forests and grasslands, but this has not affected China's grain output in the slightest.
