On May 4th, in Yongcheng, a notice was posted at the Governor's Mansion.
Zhang Sihai went to work, passed by the state capital, and unconsciously glanced at the new announcement. I quickly ran over to see what the notice said.
Since Yongcheng belonged to the Sun Alliance and the state capital was established, announcements have been posted frequently to inform the public of important events.
Zhang Sihai is 26 years old and just got married at the beginning of the year. Two or three years ago, he would never have believed that he would have such a good life today.
At that time, everyone in the family was the lowest slave. They had nothing and endured the exploitation and oppression of their master every day.
Without enough to eat, life is a luxury. He was lucky and endured it till the good times.
After getting rid of his slave status, he waited in fear for more than ten days when he got his ID card and household registration. He no longer had a slave master, and no one beat or scolded him.
He can stand upright and walk in the streets of Yongcheng. At that moment, he wandered around the streets for three days in a row.
Thinking back to this day, it still feels like a dream.
After the Sun Alliance settled in Yongcheng, things changed every day, and Zhang Sihai witnessed everything in person.
Life at home is getting better. As long as you work hard and are not afraid of hardship, your life will get better day by day.
There are too many people like him, and together they have witnessed the new life of Yongcheng.
In his spare time, Zhang Sihai took all his time to learn literacy and the Alliance language. His time paid off, and he can now speak the Alliance language fluently and understand most of the Alliance characters.
After reading the announcement carefully, Zhang Sihai's heart aroused.
Yongzhou has issued the latest immigration decree, and the governor’s seal is clearly visible on the announcement.
The announcement lists in detail the settlement policies for moving to other six states.
The first one is Yunzhou. As long as they voluntarily immigrate, the local government will provide houses for free. After living there for three years, they will pay a small amount of rent to the government every year.
Each person can enjoy interest-free loans subsidized by the local government for two years, with a maximum limit of five yuan. If you want to increase the loan amount, you can enjoy a 50% discount on the minimum interest rate stipulated by the alliance bank for the loan interest rate exceeding the interest-free limit.
Interest-free loans are mainly used for resettlement and construction of houses, land reclamation, commercial operations, etc.
In addition, legal children (biological and adopted) of both men and women who are over 18 years old can enjoy a free college entrance examination quota. The government will provide subsidies based on the price level of the entrance examination that year. Of course, the prerequisite is to meet the basic requirements for university entrance exams and graduate from high school, except for those with extraordinary talents.
After settling in Yunzhou, the land cleared for the first three years is tax-free, and commercial operations are tax-free for one year.
Pingzhou's settlement policy is similar to that of Yunzhou, with adjustments in loan amounts and years.
Compared with the first two, Mingzhou, Qingzhou and Haizhou have undergone some adjustments.
The settlement conditions in Zhongzhou are completely different and are relatively more stringent. There are no discounts, and conditions are added. Those who apply for settlement must submit an application first, and can only settle after being reviewed and approved by the Zhongzhou Prefectural Government.
To immigrate to other states, you only need to take proof of identity and household registration to the local government to register and issue an immigration certificate. The government will arrange for them to travel to the place of immigration without having to bear the travel expenses themselves.
After reading the announcement, Zhang Sihai thought for a while and immediately ran home to talk to his wife Liu Mei about the new immigration decree.
Liu Mei was also born as a slave. The two met while working outside. They are both hard-working people.
"Which state do you want to go to?" Liu Mei asked directly. Looking at her husband's look, she knew that he was already interested. He ran back excitedly just to tell her quickly and make a decision early.
In fact, Liu Mei is also interested in immigrating to other states. Although Yongcheng is my hometown, the memories left here are bitter.
If you can go to a brand new place and enjoy the benefits provided by the alliance government, it will be much easier than staying in Yongcheng and working hard to make money.
Yongcheng has a large population and expensive housing. A large family is squeezed into a small shabby house and it is uncomfortable to live there.
Zhang Sihai also has two older brothers, each with a large family, crowded into three shabby small rooms. Every day adults and children make noisy noises, and so many people are waiting to eat. Life is very difficult, and we can barely eat.
Zhang Sihai's eyes were bright, "Yunzhou and Hepingzhou's policies are the best. Each has its own pros and cons. I prefer Yunzhou. It has a vast area, sparsely populated areas, and rich mineral resources. As long as we gain a firm foothold, we don't have to worry about the future." "
"If there are fewer people, we will have children in the future, and we won't have to worry about going to school. We won't have to compete with those children for opportunities. As long as we successfully complete middle school and have a place in the university examination, if we are admitted to university, our family will be able to fully Turned over.”
Liu Mei said excitedly: "That's right. People who can go to university are all talented people. Most of them are mystical practitioners. Even if our children don't have any talent for cultivation, as long as they study hard, we will pave the way to university. , not too different. I heard that as long as those who are qualified to participate in the university entrance examination are not admitted, those who pass the exam are also the talents that are competed for by everywhere."
"Who says it's not the case? We have no chance. We must work hard to find a way for our children." Zhang Sihai was extremely excited. "I have observed the children in the city, those who have gone to school and those who have not. It’s different when you’re wearing it.”
"My co-worker, Zhao Laosi, the family tightened their belts and sent a child to school. The child also did well. He was admitted at the same time. He was better than others. He only studied in the fifth grade in two years. The school's teachers often visited his home. , are very concerned about it, saying that the children of Mr. Zhao’s family will have great potential in the future.”
Liu Mei's eyes were bright, "Really? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"
"It's not that we don't have children yet, we didn't expect so many. Now that we are married, we will have a baby soon. When I saw the good immigration policy, I immediately thought of it."
"You have such a lively mind." Liu Mei looked at him with admiration, "Let's find out more. Immigration is a big deal, and we need to discuss it with my family. If we really immigrate, I will pack up my belongings immediately. Let's go early, early Once we settle down, we can still catch up on planting a season of food.”
The couple just went about their business and went out to inquire about various immigration news.
There are families in the city who have immigrated to other places and have many relatives left behind. It is not difficult to get information.
As states posted announcements, the Sun Union Monthly and local periodicals and newspapers used front-page headlines to publish the new immigration policy.
Within five days, everyone except those in particularly remote areas who had not yet been discovered knew the news.
This is the first time that the Arbitration Court has done something so grand. When it was announced that it was unifying the entire wasteland, it was not as grand as this time. This shows that the alliance attaches great importance to immigration.
The city governments in Anzhou and Yongzhou actively responded to the New Deal and promoted the benefits of immigration on the streets every day. Those who were having a hard time became mentally active.
Others have the same idea as Zhang Sihai. In order to pave the way for the next generation, they want to go to a place where educational resources are not so tight.
