African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 451 Population (continued)

The first batch of large-scale immigrants from East Africa (excluding mercenaries) was in 1865. Since then, the number of immigrants has skyrocketed, and with the increase in transportation capacity in East Africa, the scale has become larger and larger.

In other words, the first batch of East African immigrants have settled in East Africa for nine years, and the attributes of East African immigrants have caused the current population of East Africa to grow explosively.

This kind of thing can be compared to the German region. The fertility rate in the German region is currently quite high, and it is even higher in East Africa, because East Africa bears the cost of fertility, which cannot be done in the German region.

German land resources were divided up by the nobility and landowners, coupled with the development of capitalist agriculture, they no longer pursued labor force and share of ownership, but made profit the first priority.

Although the land in East Africa is also privately owned, Ernst's previous focus was on giving relatively good treatment to East African citizens. One of the points was that he hoped that East African residents would have as many children as they could, and the state would bear most of the cost of childbirth.

East African citizens who have no burden of childbearing can naturally have as many children as they want, especially since there is no concept and means of contraception.

Basically, if you are healthy, the fertility rate will not be low. Coupled with the extremely low mortality rate (compared to other countries), the population of East Africa will eventually increase exponentially.

At low productivity levels, most of these costs are ultimately borne by the black population, of which East Africa has a black population of 2000 million, of which nearly 1000 million are in the labor force.

Therefore, East Africa does not feel much pressure at present, but the black population in East Africa is reducing at a very fast rate. If East Africa wants to continue to play this game in the future, this part of the cost can only be passed on to new immigrants.

However, new immigrants will continue to have children in the future, and a vicious cycle will form later. Ernst himself is a believer in the theory of population advantage. He has also said before that a population the size of India will inevitably lead to a big country.

If East African immigrants are allowed to reproduce unscrupulously, a family will only have two laborers, but it is possible to raise more than a dozen mouths. Even working as cattle and horses is unrealistic. Of course, this may be a bit too ideal. Conservatively, it is estimated that seven or eight mouths should be opened. There is.

In addition to the birth rate, immigration is also a problem. The current normal immigration level in East Africa is about 25 per month, and there are more than 400 ships (including chartered ships and slave ships) serving East African immigrants.

The number of East African immigrants in one year was almost more than 300 million. If by 1880, there would be more than 1000 million new immigrants.

It should be noted here that although the East African government does not count the native population, it still counts immigrants every year. The number of immigrants is the same and will not change due to the birth rate.

This is just the immigrant population. In fact, it now takes more than ten days to travel by boat from the Far East and Europe to East Africa. The arrangements for these immigrants to enter East Africa will not exceed three months at most. After stabilizing, new immigrants will join the birth force. Well, it is indeed a bit difficult.

This is the ideal state of immigration. In fact, the reality is the ideal situation. The economic crisis has created opportunities for East Africa. Even the United States, a pure immigration country, has people immigrating to East Africa. It is conceivable that other regions in the world will immigrate to East Africa.

Immigration in East Africa is led by the government, and immigration agencies have been established in European countries, East Asia, and South America. Therefore, the East African Immigration Agency is the world's largest and systematic immigration organization, and it is also the world's second largest slave trader.

In fact, in the current world, except for Arab and Indian men and black people, other countries are targeted by the East African Immigration Agency to meet the needs of East African immigrants.

Take Germany as an example. The total population of the South German region, which has been sucked by East Africa all year round, has not significantly decreased, but it has not increased either. Therefore, East Africa's absorption of immigrants will not cause any losses to other countries.After all, after the Industrial Revolution, the world's population has soared to more than 12.7 billion, and the number of immigrants from East Africa is not even a fraction.

Of course, East Africa has its own national conditions, so many situations are very different from the way immigrant countries in the Americas absorb immigrants.

Immigration is generally a spontaneous act of the people, but the difficulty of cross-continental immigration is quite difficult for people in this era.

The ship tickets for immigrants in the United States are mainly advanced by various companies and enterprises that are short of people, and then deducted from the immigrants' wages. These things are basically written clearly in the contract, while East Africa directly waives the ship tickets, so there is no choice between the two. China and East Africa are at an advantage. After all, the United States even calculates the cost of ferry tickets so clearly. Do you still want to make a fortune in the United States?I really thought the ground was full of gold!

Secondly, the marketing methods in East Africa are different. East African immigration advertisements focus on demonstration, focusing on the people at the bottom, and then returning to their hometowns to attract people.East Africa really dares to do this, and the United States can only make up stories in newspapers and engage in fraud.

Finally, East African immigrants are not limited to white people. The Far East and Europe are equally important, so that East Africa is in a buyer's market. The Far East here does not refer to the concept of a country but the Far East in the true sense.

Of course, in addition to these normal methods, East Africa will also use some off-the-shelf tactics, that is, to report the true situation of American immigrants through European newspapers.

It is true that the development ceiling of the United States is higher, but most people are still self-aware. For example, German farmers can still weigh their own pounds. Compared with the fantasy of going to the United States to make a fortune, the conditions in East Africa are more suitable for them.

The second thing that should be paid special attention to is the education system in East Africa. The education system plays a big role in reducing the cost of childbearing for the people. With the expansion of the secondary school system, people born in East Africa spend ten years in school. The most important thing is One thing is that schools in East Africa also provide lunch.

Taken together, the total population of East Africa exceeded at least 1880 million in 3000. The specific data will not be known until the census is restarted, and it may even exceed 4000 million.

Human fertility in an agricultural society cannot be ignored, and East Africa is an agricultural country with industrial attributes.

As for restricting immigration, it is better to say that it is screening immigrants. This was originally the immigration policy of East Africa. It mainly targeted drug addicts. Small problems such as malnutrition did not matter to East Africa.

Moreover, this increase in immigration restrictions is mainly aimed at German immigrants in the United States. After all, the United States is the stronghold of liberalism. As an autocratic monarchy in East Africa, it is natural to prevent some "rotten" ideas from the United States from flowing into East Africa.Except for the United States, this is true for the entire America. There is not a single monarchy. How can this reassure East Africa?

And overall, East Africa’s investment in immigration has actually increased. For example, female immigrants are very welcome in East Africa. Last time, the proportion of women in East Africa was close to 40.00%. A large part of these women can come to East Africa. That’s all Those who have spent money are Indian and Green Christian women who are also popular in East Africa, except of course black people.

The problem of overpopulation is not limited to East Africa. The social atmosphere of the 19th century made it easier for East Africa to buy and sell "women". In most areas, men had to inherit the family business after all, and women's status was underground, and they even became traded items.

The wool comes from the sheep, so the money spent to redeem women in East Africa was naturally repaid by the East African bachelors working hard. In the early days, it was used as a reward mechanism to mobilize the enthusiasm for immigration.
