Chapter 995 Evacuate the cage and change the bird (third update, please subscribe)
People leave the city every day, and of course there are people coming.

There were a lot of people in the station. Passengers from other places all looked at the city with curious eyes after getting off the bus.Many of the passengers were Chinese in shirts. He was carrying a suitcase, with women and children standing beside him.

They seem to be full of expectations, they are typical Chinese: a decent job, a dedicated wife, five or six children, a monthly income of 30 yuan, and a long-term rental apartment that only costs 3 yuan a month. inside.

Most of the Chinese people live such a life, they will work in a company for a lifetime - after receiving school education and starting to work, once they enter an organization, they will continue to work until retirement, and the organization cannot dismiss them for improper reasons .

Of course, this is only limited to Chinese.

While people are leaving Huizhou for work, hundreds of ethnic Chinese come to this strange city every day for work. Newly established enterprises need workers, technicians, and supervisors.

Of course, one's own people should take care of one's own people, which is a matter of course.

People coming and going are changing the city little by little.

"What we need is to use job opportunities to move more than 400 million people from Rio, Sao Paulo, and Minas Gerais out of these places little by little!"

Standing by the window, Cheng Dingkang watched the city in the heavy rain, and said in a calm tone.

In the past few years, the director of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee of the Twelve Northern Provinces of the Empire has been in charge of the post-war reconstruction of the Empire in the occupied areas of Brazil.

In fact, the Reconstruction Committee is the so-called occupation authority, which is specifically responsible for the "post-war reconstruction" of the twelve northern provinces. In fact, it is the specific occupation policy.

"Director, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

As the director's secretary, Zhao Gongkui of course knows what the core of this plan is to reduce the Latino population in this area and finally achieve a certain balance. most.

"Work permits. In the future, the occupation registration office must strictly issue work permits from other provinces in accordance with the ratio of 8 to 2. Don't worry, those people don't mind going to other provinces for their livelihood. Don't be afraid to provide them with jobs. Farms need Workers, mines also need miners, even the eucalyptus plantations also need workers, disperse them to various provinces of Ming Dynasty, and eventually, they will fully integrate into us and become one of us."

For this future, Cheng Dingkang is full of expectations. Like many imperial officials, he is full of confidence and believes in all of this. After all, the history of Chinese civilization itself is a history of civilization integration. Under the "Help the barbarians and return to Xia", they will become a member of Huaxia.

Maybe there will be resistance now, but eventually time will change all that.

"Director, last month, the suppression forces discovered 23 more villages of "Kilombo people" in the rainforest. Should we deal with it according to the old practice, or?"

The Kirombo people are fugitive slaves and their descendants. In Brazil during the slave era, there were always slaves who fled to the hinterland of Brazil when the guards were loose or when the rainforest was being reclaimed. These escaped slaves would gather together and attack the indigenous primitive tribes in the rainforest. , killing men and robbing women, and over time, secret communities have been formed. These communities are often located in the depths of dense forests or in places with complex terrain, so they have always been far away from the civilized world.According to the military's estimates, there are at least a thousand of these secret communities deep in the dense forest, and there may actually be more.

Originally, they would live peacefully deep in the dense forest, away from civilized society, but because the rebel guerrillas entered the dense forest, the army would always encounter such villages when they suppressed them.

"As in the past, they were recruited to participate in the suppression. They have lived in the depths of the rainforest for a long time. They understand and adapt to the rainforest better than us, and most of them are hostile to white people. You must know that many of the rebels are from plantations Slave master, overseer."

Cheng Dingkang said directly.

"Don't be afraid to use them, the rainforest...is a place to eat people!"

A dead fellow is not a poor one, this is the simplest truth.

"As for the issue of future resettlement, those people will eventually be sent back to Africa, where they can also be used as a booster for the empire's rule."

"Yes, the officer understands."

Throughout the morning, Cheng Dingkang met several groups of lower-level officials. They have been talking about various issues, from local security maintenance, to material control, to industrial construction, and infrastructure projects such as railways and ports. In fact, compared with the former, Construction is Cheng Dingkang's most important work here.

After all, industrial construction means more job opportunities, and more job opportunities are not only a tool to appease resistance and win people's hearts.Of course, it also means the arrival of more Chinese residents.

"In a word, we must try our best to attract investment from all over the world, and we must completely change the plantation economy that used to be based on cash crops such as sugar cane and coffee."

Cheng Dingkang took a puff of cigarette while speaking,

"The plantation economy is the most unsuitable economic model for the empire. It requires too much labor, and the empire cannot waste too much labor on the land. Of course, those Europeans are willing to work in the plantations. That is their However, our people should go to the factory as much as possible.”

The income in the factory is higher, the job is more stable, and if there is no accident, they are employed for life. Of course, it is the best choice for Chinese to work in the factory.

"Of course, as an extremely important production resource, the principle is still the same as in the past. As long as they fail to pay taxes, as long as they leave the plantation in ruins, they will be confiscated immediately, auctioned off, and then handed over to our people .”

Cheng Dingkang flicked the cigarette as if nothing had happened, and said.

"Being a tenant farmer is not the best choice, but being a farmer is still acceptable."

Since the occupation of Brazil, the emancipation of slaves has easily destroyed Brazil's plantation economy. Sugarcane plantations, coffee plantations, and those plantations that require a lot of labor were not driven by cheap slaves and immediately fell into bankruptcy. Of course, this is also the reason why the plantation owners rebelled against Ming Dynasty, but their bankruptcy allowed large tracts of land to be redistributed. While millions of landless tenant farmers received land, large tracts of land were allocated to Of course, they got far more land than ordinary farmers, which also formed a distinctive feature in the twelve northern provinces of Ming Dynasty—the cities were resisting, but there were many farmers outside the cities who supported the Ming Dynasty. rule.

Essentially...they are the beneficiaries.

"What the director said is true,"

After taking over the conversation, Zhao Gongkui said:

"However, there is generally a problem of labor shortage in those farms now. After all, for a family, [-] mu is too much, and the family simply cannot grow it."

"300 mu, is that much?"

Shaking his head, Cheng Dingkang said.

"How big were those plantations in the past? 300 acres, but it was just a small-scale peasant economy..."
