"Beep...... Beep...... Beep ......"

A shrill whistle broke the silence of the early morning, wandering back and forth in the transition point, a shrill sound waking up the sleeping migrants.

Twenty-three,013 bedrooms.

Yuan Ye, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly got up from the bed: "What movement?" ”

At this time, Li Ji also woke up, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes: "It's early in the morning, why do you disturb people's dreams!" And this sound is from the whistle! But it's also too ugly to hear. ”

Just as everyone complained, the whistle finally subsided, but then a melodious sound floated from a distance.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

This is the sound of the bell tower of Dar es Salaam, and when the bell tower of Dar es Salaam rings, it means that it is six o'clock in the morning in East Africa.

However, the clock tower in Dar es Salaam can only be heard at the transition point, when you are awake, which is why the East African Migration Agency uses a whistle to wake people up.

In the segregated migrant settlements of Li Ji and others, staff of the East African Migration Agency are providing wake-up calls to migrants.

Along the aisle, one by one, they slammed their batons on the doors, and ......the wooden doors seemed to be blasted at any moment.

"Get up! Don't sleep! Hurry up and wash up, it's late and you won't be able to catch the meal! ”

First shouted in German, and then in Chinese, the originally lazy immigrants heard the meal, and quickly put on their clothes and tossed up from the bed, no one could stop the immigrants' enthusiasm for dry rice.

Most of the immigrants in East Africa come from the countryside, maintaining the law of sunrise and sunset, and sleeping is still good.

How to fill the stomach is a big problem, it can be said that the seeds are planted in the ground, and the rest can only be handed over to God, the wind and rain are smooth and barely survive, and the slightest disaster will cause famine.

Europe is a little better, in the event of a famine, you can avoid starvation, and most people in the Far East can only flee the famine.

Of course, the situation in Europe was not much better, and in 1871 the urbanization rate in Germany was only about 3.6 percent, in France it was 31 percent, and in Austria-Hungary it was 25 percent.

The level of urbanization is even lower, because most of the towns rely on agricultural production, and a considerable number of townspeople are still engaged in the primary industry, but only live in the town, which is the case in Heixingen Town, and if the year is bad, many people are also at risk of bankruptcy.

In recent years, due to the increase in agricultural production in East Africa, North America, and Tsarist Russia, international food prices have continued to decline, and food prices in industrial countries have been quite stable, and even have a downward trend.

In 1871, East Africa's urbanization rate was 17.3 percent, exceeding the world average (12 percent), which is among the most agrarian countries. During the same period, the urbanization rate of the United States was about 25 percent, which was higher than that of East Africa. Tsarist Russia is about 11 percent, which is lower than that of East Africa, and the urbanization rate of the Far East, the world's most populous country, is only about 4 percent.

The reasons for the high urbanization rate in East Africa are very simple, first of all, the population is small, and the majority of immigrants are large, in order to accelerate the integration of various ethnic groups, East Africa will tend to concentrate the population and put an end to the concentration of a single ethnic group, which is a policy consideration.

Before the establishment of the East African colony, East Africa was a real barren land, and there were more wild animals than people, so in this environment, there was no certain number of people on the wasted land, and it would be recycled by nature in less than three months.

Therefore, East African agriculture has the flavor of a national system, which requires the unified dispatch of resources by the central government, and the removal of wild beasts sometimes requires the dispatch of militia organizations and even the army, not to mention the existence of many indigenous regimes here.

Finally, in recent years, the Hexingen consortium has also established a number of industries in East Africa, including the newly built Bagamoyo shipyard alone, which employs more than 2,000 workers, and the sisal industry that employs more than 5,000 workers.

However, the above reasons can only be said to be the main reason, the main reason for the high urbanization rate in East Africa is that the large number of black people is not counted in the East African population.

The black population is almost four times that of East Africa's immigrant population, which is the result of the eviction of many blacks in East Africa.

This has also caused the life of East Africans to be relatively monotonous, but the standard of living is not bad in the world, after all, there are mines, there are land, there are people (blacks) who can be crushed, and the corporatization of governance has prevented the bankruptcy of small farmers, even if the grain production in one area is reduced, the loss can be spread out from other regions through the allocation of grain.

What's more, East Africa is originally overharvested in one year, and it is generally above the second season, which is a very important factor.

For example, why the population and industry in the Far East accelerated to the south after the Song Dynasty, even if the south suffers a disaster, it can be replanted in time, so that it will not have no harvest like the north, and there is no need to worry about freezing to death without encountering extreme weather in winter.

East Africa goes one step further, with little difference in climate across the region, precipitation is seasonal, but sufficient, and there are no extremes in the Far East, so that overall grain production does not fluctuate much (minus the constant land reclamation factor).

In the previous life, the Far East divided the quality of cultivated land into 15 grades, of which the best land is mainly distributed in the south, and the top three of the overall best cultivated land quality are the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, South China, and Jiangnan District, an important factor is that the heat of cultivated land in the south is more sufficient, three harvests a year, and the middle land is mainly distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Sichuan, Shanxi and other regions, although the black soil in the three eastern provinces is fertile and the grain quality is high, but the lack of heat is a big problem, and it can only be said that there are gains and losses.

In the words of agricultural experts: "The black soil in Northeast China produces oil as soon as it is grabbed, but due to light and water conditions, it can only be ripened once a year, which is a congenital deficiency." No matter what technology is used, the yield per mu of rice in one season is more than one ton, and the yield of corn is also more than one ton. This can only be the yield champion and the season champion, and the quality of cultivated land is based on the annual yield, and the south has more advantages in the three crops a year. ”

By the standards of the Far East, most of the arable land in East Africa was above average, and the Great Lakes region was excellent, so East Africa was destined to be an agricultural power.

Although the enthusiasm of the immigrants to get up in order to cook is aroused, the immigration department, which has always attached importance to order and hygiene, needs to make it more difficult for them.

"Got all the futons in order! Don't pile things around, someone will come to check them later, if anyone dares to be sloppy, don't blame me for not reminding you, you will bear the consequences! ”

"What did you do in the 041 dormitory, there is so much dust on the ground, hurry up and clean up this place, otherwise you won't eat dinner."

"Whose clothes are this, number 8856, it's only been a few days since it was issued! Do you smell it like words? Hurry up and wash it up! ”

……

The buzz of the health check quickly caught the attention of the members of the mission, who heard only the roar of the migrant quarters and the noise of the migrants as they washed up.

Ande: "Brother Shiyan! It's so noisy in the east! And it seems that someone is reprimanding, bird language (German) and Chinese are used, this East Africa will not be abusing immigrants! ”

Li Ge: "Brother thick, I'll find out when I ask!" ”

So Rieg walked towards the house where the East African Immigration Agency had arranged for them to live.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who! Wake up so early? ”

"......" Li Ge was a little confused, because the other party spoke German.

After a while, the door was opened, and the guide remembered that these people did not speak German.

Guide: "Mr. Lieger! What's the matter? ”

Lige: "Oh, that's right, why is it so noisy in the morning in the eastern settlement?" ”

"That's what you ask? Actually, it doesn't have much to do with you, those are new immigrants, they naturally have to receive an East African education, otherwise it will be difficult to adapt to the living environment of East Africa, if nothing else, you can go to sleep! Leave them alone. ”

Lige: "That's not it, we're just curious, can we go over there and have a look?" ”

"Ahh What's there to see over there? It's just two eyes and one nose, but if you're really curious, you can go and see, but come back quickly, and don't forget to eat when the time comes. ”

Lige: "No problem, I'm sorry to bother you." ”

"Where, where! I'm here to provide you with advice, ah......" The guide yawned and said, "I'll go wash up first, and you can make up your own mind if you have anything to do!" As long as you don't go out of the immigration transition point. With that, the guide reincarnated back into the house to rummage through towels and toothbrushes.

Li Ge came back with the news: "Brother thick, let's go, let's go see over there, what's going on!" ”

Ande: "Brother Shiyan, is this allowed?" ”

Li Ge: "No problem, I've already asked, as long as we don't leave the immigration transition point, we can move freely." ”

Ender: "Then go along!" ”

So the two of them went to the place where the immigrants lived, and this was the first time they had seen East African immigrants, and it was hot, and immigrants like Dar es Salaam, who had settled in East Africa for many years, were not very good.

The immigrants live in the east, where people come and go, and people are busy washing and cleaning.

Many people wore towels around their necks, took toothbrushes to the public bathrooms to wash, and some were folding quilts and sweeping the floors.

Lige and Ander note that it's crowded, but orderly, and that there are eight people living in a small dormitory, but it's not messy, which may be the reason why the immigrants don't have any luggage.

Lige: "Thickness! I don't feel like this is an immigration point, it's a barracks! ”

Ender: "Indeed, their uniform style of clothing, if I remember correctly, is the same as the military and police uniforms in East Africa, but there are slight differences in color and other details!" ”

Li Ge: "Also, have you noticed that the image of the immigrants here is also very different from that of the residents of Dashi, and they are generally a little emaciated. ”

This is inevitable, the Far East immigration is particularly serious, if Li Ge and others see the immigrants who have just disembarked, it is almost the same as half a breath left, and most of the immigrants in the immigration transition point have been cultivating for a period of time, and it is good to have the current mental state.
