"The final say on this matter should be with the Planning Institute. [Read full text]" Yang Yun's implication is that it is not Wu Nanhai's turn to dictate population allocation.
"That's true, but the opinions of each department are also the main source of reference for the Planning Institute's final allocation case."
"If the requirements of all departments are met, even one million people will not be enough."
"Of course." Liu Muzhou straightened up and picked up a document on the table, "This is the demand figure reported by various departments. Even if all the current allocable population is taken into account, the gap is probably more than 150,000. "
Yan Yun disagreed. No leader would think that there were too many people working under him - especially when he was not required to pay wages. In addition to the general boss, the following small bosses at all levels argued about nothing more than money and people at the meeting. If each department can have as many people as they want, what should the HR department do?
"The meat hasn't been served yet, and the wolves are already impatient." Yang Yun joked, "Each department has its own interests to consider, but we should act in accordance with the opinions of the Planning Institute - after all, the Planning Institute has the overall perspective."
"You're right." Liu Muzhou thought about it and realized that Yang Yun was right: since Operation Engine brought back the first batch of refugees, senior officials from various departments have been coming to him to discuss the issue of refugee allocation, either explicitly or covertly. Especially Wu Nanhai's request made him feel embarrassed - he usually took a lot of care from him...
After what Yang Yun said at this meeting, it seems that there are indeed some people who do not deserve to participate in such an assignment that can easily offend people. It would be more appropriate to just ignore it and follow the rules. Having made up his mind, he said: "Our department will not comment on this matter. Let the Planning Institute do the hard work."
Yang Yun returned to his office. In fact, these days he has begun to secretly prepare a population distribution table in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Institute. Although Wu De did not give specific numbers of people to which regions and departments, he did give "guiding proportions" and "basic principles" for specific allocations.
Distributing indentured servants is a very tedious and meticulous job. Without the help of a computer. It would take several months to figure out the basic situation of these more than 400,000 people just by manual calculation and summary. In the 19th century U.S. census, it often took seven or eight years from the completion of the census to the release of statistical data. The Senate has three magic tools: computers, local area networks and databases, which allowed the statistical summary to take less than a month, and a very detailed classified summary report was issued.
At the beginning of decontamination, each refugee must fill out a personal information form: it not only contains basic information such as gender, date of birth, place of origin, marriage and family status, but also occupation, skills mastered, educational level, The original family's economic status, religious beliefs and political outlook - the so-called political outlook refers to whether he has obtained the Ming Dynasty's fame and held any form of "public office": including officials, officials, soldiers, servants of officials, "public servants" ", card A, head of line and other official positions with official background.
This personal information sheet is Yang Yun's original material for classification and summary. It is also the basis for assigning them to various directions. Generally speaking, people with a background of craftsmen will be assigned to the industry or construction department, and then they will be assigned to various industries and enterprises according to the skills they master; those with a background of businessmen and shop assistants will go to the commerce department; fishermen will go to fishing companies; sailors will go to shipping companies or the navy ; After preliminary screening, intellectuals who are more "reliable" will go to the administrative entrance. The rest return to the education department to serve as literacy teachers...
Children under the age of fourteen will not be assigned as usual, and they will be accepted as students by the education department.
Everyone has no objection to this distribution system. The problem is that 95% of the population available for distribution are farmers who cannot read a single word. If the distribution is completely based on occupation and skills. Then all these people will belong to the agricultural population - this is obviously not feasible. Therefore, a considerable number of them will be assigned to various industries to serve as "apprentices". This is how the growing ranks of industrial workers in the secondary and tertiary industries in Lingao came to be. The competition among various departments for the immigrant population is also concentrated in this area.
For now. The distribution of labor is tilted towards the industrial sector. The industrial sector accounts for most of the imported indentured servants in front of the engine, especially in metallurgy, mining, construction, and equipment manufacturing. The second largest sector is the primary and tertiary industries. .
However, this time at the State Council meeting jointly held by the Government Affairs Council and the Planning Council, the policy of "establishing food security" has been proposed. Strive to increase the food self-sufficiency ratio of the Lingao regime. At present, the population under the direct jurisdiction of the Lingao regime has reached nearly one million. Large-scale reliance on imported food not only imposes a heavy financial burden, but also takes up a large amount of shipping capacity.
Yang Yun estimated that Wu Nanhai's plan to allocate a population of 100,000 to three agricultural counties was based on this east wind.
but. Yang Yun thought to himself that the Planning Institute's ideas were much more complicated than those of the leaders of these departments.
In this planning institute, "guiding proportions" and "basic principles" are given. Yang Yun has already drafted a preliminary population distribution plan.
Jeju Island is expected to house 50,000 indentured slaves. This resulted in a five-to-four balance of power over the local Korean population. Coupled with the large-scale recruitment of North Korean security forces from Jeju Island and the introduction of subsequent immigrants, linguistic assimilation can be completed in about one generation. Ensure that Jeju Island becomes the "island of cattle, horses, sheep and tangerines" of the Senate.
These 50,000 indentured slaves were mainly resettled as agricultural immigrants and served as agricultural and animal husbandry workers in farms and pastures directly under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Committee.
In terms of food supply, before the landing, Jeju Island's extensive agriculture could barely feed 40,000 people. After the introduction of potatoes, food production increased significantly, so that in 1632, large quantities of food could be shipped to Shandong and other countries. It can be seen that its agricultural production potential is not small. After the introduction of a large number of immigrants and the construction of farmland infrastructure, Jeju Island's agriculture will not only be self-sufficient, but also be able to export a considerable share of agricultural and animal husbandry products.
Tainan area of Taiwan: There are currently 10,000 refugees resettled on the spot, and there are plans to resettle 25,000 more. The majority of these 25,000 were Fujian people kidnapped from the coast of Fujian during Operation Overlord, plus some Shandong refugees.
Taking Fujian immigrants as the main body obviously does not meet the requirements of the Senate to "break the closed regionalism". However, Tainan's current soil and water transformation has not yet been completed. Northern immigrants are not accustomed to the acclimatization and soil, and the mortality rate is very high. Fujian immigrants have relatively poor adaptability to Tainan. Well, the survival rate is higher. Together with the development of the Tainan Agricultural Reclamation Unit that landed in advance, the entire Kaohsiung-Tainan area has a resettlement population of 40,000. There are also more than 40,000 people who have been immigrated by Zheng Zhilong and other sea-lord organizations in advance that can be annexed.
The Tainan area began to open up wasteland in the autumn of 1631. In addition, a large number of slaves were later invested in land development regardless of life and death. By January 1633, Wei Bachi had completed the 100,000 acres of wasteland he planned. Although these farmlands are "raw land" with limited yields, Tainan's water and heat conditions are good. Rice, sweet potatoes, and beans are planted in rotation, and at least 7,000 to 8,000 tons of grains, 20,000 tons of sweet potatoes, and several thousand tons of beans can be harvested. Even if you add in the approximately five to six thousand surviving slaves who need local support, self-sufficiency is at the worst possible.
Tainan's agricultural potential is not only much greater than that of Jeju Island, but also higher than that of Hainan. As long as there is sufficient investment in labor and farmland infrastructure, Tainan will become the granary of the Senate.
As for the immigrants who were originally in Tainan, since they were able to survive in the past, the fields they cultivated could support themselves. At most, they would not have enough to eat and would not starve to death.
After removing these immigrants, the remaining 345,000 immigrants will all be resettled on Hainan Island, excluding about 60,000 children under the age of 14 who will be handed over to the education center for education and training - orphans when collecting refugees China is the most active in accepting refugees, so children account for a very high proportion of the refugee population. The remaining 280,000 people are the targets for distribution of the island's industrial and agricultural population.
Among them, the Sanya region needs to import about 10,000 people. Although Sanya's mining development mainly relies on slaves, the development of Sanya itself also requires a large number of people, especially when the Agriculture Committee plans to build tropical plantations locally, which is a typical labor force. intensive enterprise.
In addition, the counties in southern Hainan also need to replenish a certain amount of agricultural population to ensure the existence of these counties - the counties in southern Hainan Island have a very small Han population, and some counties with hidden households only have a few thousand people. Apart from having a county seat, there is no sense of political power at all. These counties are expected to immigrate 40,000 people to replenish their population base. In addition to agricultural production, forestry and mining development will also be carried out. Zhongchanghua in these counties is a special case: the industrial port is preparing to establish a large-scale cement production enterprise there: industrial workers and miners who mine the mines, plus the manpower required for the next step of developing Shilu and doing preliminary road projects, approximately 10,000 people need to be immigrated people.
The remaining 220,000 people are mainly resettled in the northern region: how to distribute these 220,000 people has become the biggest difference between the industrial population and the agricultural population.
If we look at the absolute numbers, Agricultural Export has gained a huge advantage. But if you look closely, it will be difficult for these populations to achieve benefits in the short term. Those that can immediately bring benefits are obviously several traditional agricultural counties in the northern part of Hainan Island. Currently, the land under the control of the Senate, whether it is the direct land of state-owned farms or the starting land for tax collection, the northern counties account for 9%. into or above.
These lands are either mature land that has been cultivated for many years, or fertile land that has been transformed into farmland. As long as there is sufficient labor input, an agricultural satellite can be placed immediately. Wu Nanhai privately lobbied Liu Muzhou for this purpose. (To be continued...)
