Daming 1805

Chapter 173 Daming's Population Isn't Enough?

After reading the news ahead, Zhu Jingyuan turned to the map around Daqinhai on the other side.

Looking at Crete, Tripoli, and Tunisia, these places will gradually be emptied in the future.

Daming had to arrange for immigrants to come in in order to truly occupy these lands.

Zhu Jingyuan basically didn't think much about it, so he asked Wangfu Dianbo to write a telegram, asking the imperial household department to emigrate.

As a result, the Ministry of Accounts quickly responded:
"There are too many places that need to immigrate now. I would like to ask His Royal Highness Prince Dashi to introduce in detail the advantages of the area to be immigrated, and what preferential conditions the local area can provide for immigrants, so that the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites can help His Highness do publicity."

Zhu Jingyuan fell into deep thought while reading the reply letter.

I and most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty are used to claiming that the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of population, and dismiss the population of other tribes.

It turns out that the population of Daming may not be enough!

There are currently about 5000 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and the total population of all ethnic groups in all vassal states should be more than [-] million.

The land currently occupied by the Dashi Ming Dynasty is almost two-thirds of the entire earth's land area.

These populations, especially the local population of 5000 million, have no advantages over the Qing Dynasty, which was an agricultural society at the same time.

Mainly in the past 100 years, Daming has been continuously emigrating.

After the completion of industrialization, the population growth momentum that should have lasted for a long time was curbed by the World War that lasted for more than ten years.

So the existing population is a bit insufficient.

But now the war is finally over.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's historical experience in his previous life, there will be a baby boom after the end of the world war, especially in the victorious countries.

Now that Ming Dynasty is engaged in construction in most of the world, workers and immigrants have to come up with sufficient conditions to find them.

Not just shipbuilding-related industries, factories across the country are actually busy like crazy.

The whole of Ming Dynasty stood on the cusp of the victory of the Great War, large-scale colonial expansion, and the second industrial revolution, the integration of the three powers.

The market's strong demand for workers has enabled all ordinary people to earn enough money, and their living standards have also risen linearly.

This is sure to make the baby boom even more violent.

Zhu Jingyuan estimates that in the next 20 years, the population of Ming Dynasty will at least double.

As for the food supply needed for the population boom...

Doesn't seem to be a problem either.

Since the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never been short of food.

As an agricultural civilization, Daming has experienced a very painful lesson, and now has enough fertile land, and will not allow any problems in food supply.

There are about 5000 million people in Daming, and the local food production can basically meet all needs, and it can be balanced without imports.

At the same time, Daming controls the grain-producing areas of the Indochina Peninsula, which can be used as a direct external guarantee for local grain supply.

There is also Xintianfu Huangzhuang. If the local grain production is released, it will be enough to supply the entire Ming Dynasty.

All grain-producing areas are all large-scale farms, and the mode of small-scale intensive farming no longer exists.

The actual total grain output of the entire Ming Dynasty exceeded the actual ration demand by more than four times.

Three-quarters of the grain is used in farming, brewing, chemical industry and other industries.

No businessman dares to tamper with food, because the amount in this industry is too large.

The key is that the emperor controls Xintianfu Huangzhuang, a world-class huge granary.

Xintianfu Huangzhuang stopped making wine, and the surplus grain would make hoarders jump off the building.

Under such circumstances, the development of the Great Plains of Northern Yinzhou is about to begin.

More large farms will be built.

It is basically impossible for more grain production to participate in the supply of rations, and most of it will go directly to animal husbandry.

Further increase the supply of meat and eggs, and continue to improve the overall living standard.

The era when ordinary people can eat meat every day will not be too far away.

Now ordinary workers have money, food will continue to be plentiful, and the world is finally at peace.

In this era of turmoil, having children will also be in full swing.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that only when the baby boomers of this generation grew up, could Daming hardly be short of people.

But what should I do now?
Do you advertise to attract people like selling a house?
But even if I advertise, I may not be able to attract many people.

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, if a place like Crete recruited immigrants, it would not be difficult at all.

Europe, the Mediterranean, Greece, and the Aegean Sea, these words are piled up, and there must be more or less unconditional immigration.

But now, people in Daming have little interest in Taixi, and the general impression is that it is the hometown of Xiyi, the place with the largest number of Xiyi people.

Except for a small number of people who are interested in studying Western Yi, ordinary people would not think of immigrating to Western Tai.

At present, the first immigrant target of Ming people is Xintianfu, and this cognition is basically impossible to be reversed in the future.

Because no matter from all aspects of comparison, Daqinhai and Taixi Continent are complete failures compared to Xintianfu.

Even without considering the mature cultural environment of Ming Dynasty, and simply considering the climate and environment, Daqinhai and Taixi were also completely defeated.

Daming people are an agricultural people, immigrants first look at whether they are suitable for farming, and Taixi is a complete failure in this regard.

Even if it is only considered whether it is suitable for living, Daqinhai and Taixi are also not good.

Zhu Jingyuan's description of the climate of the Great Qinhai Sea and the temperate maritime climate in northwestern Thailand, among the knowledge he learned in school in his previous life, gives people a feeling that it is particularly suitable for human habitation.

That is actually influenced by the filter of the advantages of Thai and Western culture, as well as the more obvious filter of developed countries.

In fact, the climate around Taixi Continent and Daqin Sea is not enough compared with Xintianfu.

The continent of Nanyinzhou is relatively small, only one-fifth of the entire old continent of God Omo.

The intensity of sea-land convection in Nanyinzhou is far lower than that of the Old Continent, and the same type of climate in the Old Continent will become "smooth" here.

The core area of ​​Xintianfu, that is, the plain area in the southeast of Nanyinzhou, has the same climate type as the Jiangnan area of ​​the Ming Dynasty in theory, and both have a humid subtropical monsoon climate.

Therefore, the changes in temperature and precipitation here are basically the same as those in the Jiangnan area of ​​Ming Dynasty, but overall they have become better and more moderate.

Summer is not so hot and winter is not so cold.

For example, New Tianfu City is the Argentine capital of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, Buenos Aires.

The daily temperature in winter is between [-] and [-] degrees, and the daily temperature in summer is between [-] and [-] degrees.

Sanqing City opposite Xintianfu, when the city was named, Sanqing was chosen between New Chongqing and Sanqing, which was once the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo.

The temperature here is between 28 and [-] degrees in winter and between [-] and [-] degrees in summer.

Even the extremely low temperature caused by a sudden cold wave is only in the range of minus three to five degrees, which is almost the normal low temperature in North China.

From the perspective of Daming people, the climate in the southeast coastal area of ​​Xintianfu seems to shift back and forth from mid-spring to early summer throughout the year, and it is rainy and hot at the same time.

The summer around the Daqin Sea is hot and dry with rain and heat in different periods.

Due to the long-term cold and damp in the northwestern part of Thailand, where there is insufficient heat, a strange custom of collective sunbathing has been formed.

In addition to this mild and difficult area, there are also strange "temperate deserts" and "temperate rainforests" in other areas of Nanyinzhou.

Lima, the capital of Peru, is in the desert, but the temperature is 26 to [-] degrees in winter and [-] to [-] degrees in summer.

Bogota, the capital of Colombia, is on the mountain. The temperature is between [-] and [-] degrees every day throughout the year, and it is spring all year round.

Medellin, the second largest city, has a daily temperature between 28 and [-] degrees throughout the year, and it is early summer all year round.

Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is on a low inland plateau, with temperatures ranging from 25 to 27 degrees in winter and [-] to [-] degrees in summer.

In fact, the Australian continent, which is half smaller than Nanyinzhou, will further "smooth" all climate types.

However, Australia's terrain is the worst in the world. It is exactly the opposite of Nanyinzhou. Most of the area is desert and arid.

The proportion of Australia's livable area is too small. The key is that there are not many places suitable for farming, and the land is not fertile.

Therefore, the new Tianfu of the Ming people is Nanyinzhou, not the Australian mainland which is closer.

If the left and right mirror images of the Australian mainland are reversed, it may become a strong candidate for the new Tianfu.

But the problem is, I'm in charge of the surrounding area of ​​Daqinhai, not Xintianfu, how should I pull people here?

You can't test the court's forced immigration. Daming hasn't done that for a long time, and the actual effect is not good.

This is overseas, not local. The purpose of immigration is to keep the land, not to serve as a source of taxation...

Zhu Jingyuan thought about coming and going, and found that the biggest advantage of Daqinhai was actually the fact that there was a population of Xiyi here.

Daming people should be able to directly become the upper middle class when they come here.

But I gave these people to Osman in exchange for ownership of Crete.

After the locals were sent away, the only advantage here was that there used to be people, so there were ready-made houses to live in.

Even if houses are given away in other regions, most of them are given materials for the immigrants to build themselves, and they can really send them directly here.

Then continue to blow a wave of four seasons like spring?Warm in winter and cool in summer?Anyway, most of the immigrants have never been to Xintianfu, so it is difficult to make an actual comparison.

Compared with the northern area of ​​Ming Dynasty, this place should be regarded as warm in winter and cool in summer.

Coupled with the gift of a house, there are ready-made exotic styles to experience, and Daqinhai still has some advantages here.

Then there is a new problem. After these immigrants are brought here, how should the follow-up life and work be arranged?

If it is not suitable for farming here, there will be no need for a large number of farmers. It should be mainly industrial, commercial and service industries.

In the future, oil refining, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, trade, tourism, and even automobile and machinery manufacturing may develop here...

But the first thing to start is engineering construction. First, railways, roads and oil pipelines must be laid.

Therefore, it is still the same as the Great Food Country, starting with construction and immigration.

Where workers immigrate depends on their wages. They should be able to attract people if they are given a house and offered a slightly higher wage.

Zhu Jingyuan listed a general direction and ideas, and asked the long history, the book, and the staff to make a development plan for publicity.

The plan for publicity is not a formal development plan, so the content can be relatively brief, with certain gimmicks and exaggerations.

After sorting out, let Dianbo write documents according to these plans, and reply to the imperial household department to apply for immigration.

Zhu Jingyuan wrote another telegram himself, directly to his father and grandfather.

Let my father confirm the administrative divisions of Tripoli, Tunisia, Algeria, and Crete as soon as possible.

It is suggested that all be allocated to the Great Food Kingdom, but at the same time, a chief envoy should be established.

Anyway, the vassals will be withdrawn in the future, and it is meaningless to set up a new vassal state alone. The Great Food Kingdom does not mind more control over some areas in name.

The key is to prepare officials for these places as soon as possible, and at the same time, the big food country also needs more officials.

Now that there are more and more things happening in the Great Food Kingdom, Liu Zhixin and his honest servants are overwhelmed.

He had to arrange for himself a shrewd and capable You Changshi, and a right trial judge to share the work in the hands of Liu Zhixin and Xu Minghui.

After finishing writing, Zhu Jingyuan suddenly realized that it is definitely not just Dashiguo that needs officials.

In Ming Dynasty, not only the population may not be enough, but also the officials may not be enough.

Now I am afraid that as long as you graduate from university, you can go directly to become an official overseas.
