The recovered western part of the mainland was divided into three provinces, namely Baojun Province, Gushu Province, and Peninsula Province.

The name is actually quite arbitrary, Baojun is the area where Blackbird City is located, and the name is taken from the past name of the ruins of the city here in the pre-war era; The 'ancient tree' is the northwestern and northeastern part of the continent, and there is a very large ancient tree that makes people a little surprised, so it is simply called that, and the peninsula is the southwestern part of the continent, and there is a prominent peninsula.

Three provinces, with a combined population of more than 13 million.

In fact, according to past records, it should be nearly 20 million. However, it may be that there is a problem with the statistics of the past, and secondly, under the rule of Blackbird Heavy Industries, a large number of people have been transformed into unconscious cyborgs, either from past surgeries, from hard labor, or from the war with the Alliance.

As for now, there are only 11 million left. The other two million were relocated to the hinterland of the alliance during the war, following the supply convoys that came back by the way.

These migrated populations were mainly supplemented to two places - Weixing City and Beiqinggu Province.

They are also the two regions with the greatest demand for labor.

Needless to say, Weixingcheng is an industrial center, and the explosive development of the industry has made the demand for labor like a black hole.

The Kita-Aoya area is no better. The per capita output there is quite high, but this output value is brought about by the huge per capita cultivated area, as well as heavy labor. Even though Beiqinggu has almost achieved full mechanization and industrialization of agricultural production, there are too many fields to take care of per agricultural worker on average, and the working hours remain high.

Of course, the agricultural workers in the Qinggu area have every incentive to do so. Their efforts can be rewarded under the alliance system. According to their total working hours and total output in the past year, as long as they work normally, almost all of them have been promoted to a personal rank at the end of the year, and it is common for the treatment to be raised from E5 to E6, and even 30% of them have been directly promoted to E7.

Moving from E5 to E6 means a 50% increase in basic benefits and allowances; The mention of E7 is equivalent to double.

Originally, the benefits and allowances at the E5 level were far more than when they used to be 'serfs' on the plantation, and they already lived like individuals. On this basis, an increase of half or even a double will have a significant effect on the improvement of living standards.

This is a reward for their hard work, but Gu Hang doesn't plan to let them work 14 hours a day or more forever.

One million people from the three western provinces will be able to relieve some of the pressure.

As for the reclamation of more land, more people are needed.

At present, after the completion of reunification, there are more than 44 million people under the rule of the whole Union, and the total annual output value has reached 52 million tax dollars.

The per capita output value has passed 1, but it has just passed.

The reason for this is mainly due to the uneven development of the productive forces in various parts of the Raging Owl Star.

The two places of Beiqinggu and Weixingcheng are very high, but the other areas have basically not passed 1.

According to the standards of the imperial tax, taking out a tenth of the tax to pay the tax is not only not stressful, but more than enough.

At present, the per capita living consumption level under the rule of the alliance is about 0.6 tax currency/person/year, objectively speaking, this is not a particularly high standard of living, about food and clothing satisfaction, well-off almost.

But the satisfaction of the population is very high.

Although it is not rich, it is much stronger than the previous struggle to survive.

Happiness is contrasting.

The current consumption scale of the Quanfu Owl Star is about 27 million tax coins, and theoretically there should be 25 million 'surplus value'.

The administrative efficiency of the alliance is very high, and from the surplus value of 25 million, 15 million can be collected into the alliance's finances.

This is rare, just make a comparison.

With a population of 40 billion, an annual output value of at least 28 billion, a per capita consumption of 0.3, and a surplus value of 16 billion tax coins, it stands to reason that it should be relatively easy to levy an annual imperial tax of 4 billion.

But the Koroga government simply can't do it. They levy more than 2 billion dollars every year, and the rest depends on handing over the population.

This is the difference in administrative efficiency.

The alliance is strong in this regard, mainly due to two points.

First, there is the issue of the system. In the case of a predominantly planned economy, the rentier class between the government and the producers has been greatly eliminated. Factory owners, plantation owners, entrepreneurs...... These, in essence, are employees of the Union government. The means of production do not belong to these managers, but to the Union. Work motivation is supplemented by rank promotion and additional allowances.

There is no 'expropriation' in this, and all output is owned by the government and allocated by the government.

But if that's all there is to it, it's not enough.

The number of administrative staff of the alliance is not large, but it is highly efficient, and thanks to the persistent anti-corruption, anti-malfeasance, and incentive policies for administrators, the whole society is still operating in an efficient and clear political environment.

But even so, there is still a lot of output value in the middle, which 'disappears'. There are 10 million tax coins, which have not entered into the regular consumption of residents and have not entered the treasury of the Union.

There are many reasons here, the lion's share is in the service industry, after all, in the statistics of the Union, the output value of the service industry is not calculated. Then there are administrative costs, waste, and spontaneous investment......

But in any case, the current state of the alliance is more than enough to deal with the imperial tax.

As long as a third of the budget is set aside each year, some development investment is slowed down, and the pace is slowed down, and the entire alliance can enter a normal cycle of the imperial world.

But Gu Hang didn't plan to do that.

Under his instructions, the alliance's budget is still full, and there are even many deficits.

The main thing is to reinvest in production.

Under the alliance system, although there is a certain amount of private investment, and the government encourages such behavior, the overall development still depends on large-scale investment led by the government.

If you really want to slow down, the imperial tax will eat up a large amount, and the military expenditure will eat up another one, and the rest of the investment will not be enough, Gu Hang does not want to slow down the speed of development.

On the one hand, the construction of industrial centers will continue, and on the other hand, the economic level of other regions of the Union will rise.

Of course, another important factor that restricts the development of the entire planet is population.

A huge planet, more than 40 million people, is still too little.

It's too slow to live on your own. Although there are many policies in place to encourage childbearing, that is for the future. At the moment, immigration is still the most important way.

The two largest immigration routes are Black Arrow and Koroga 3.

According to Gu Hang's plan, in the next two years, they will continue to bring in at least 10 million people from outside.

This is also a big challenge for me to the coalition government.

No matter how Mr. Gu does this by then, government officials must do a good job of undertaking the work of such a large number of people. How to arrange economically, how to clarify identity politically, how to bridge differences culturally......

There were many difficulties, and Osenna, as the prime minister of the alliance, could only take a deep breath and then make a plan head-on.
