Dong Shuheng also visited several new immigrant villages along the river. These villages have been under construction for more than a year.
Those along the river were the first batch of immigrant villages. Later immigrant villages could only build roads from the river to the two wings. Villages were built wherever the roads were built.
As for the local people, they have been relocated to more remote places. In fact, the remaining local population is not much.
This is also thanks to the Holy Army who sorted this place out.
In addition to government-run farms, the amount of land allocated to each family was taken into consideration when setting up these resettlement villages.
According to the regulations of the Fuxing Army, each new immigrant village must be allocated 100 acres of flat land and 300 acres of mountainous land.
In other words, how much land is there and how many immigrants can be coordinated.
Now the Immigration Bureau of the Renaissance Army is definitely one of the busiest work departments.
They have to coordinate the source of immigrants every year and coordinate their removal.
Even after placement, follow-up investigation is required.
Sometimes we have to deal with the Bureau of Agricultural Reclamation, because the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau will build some collective farms and recruit workers from immigrants.
Farm reclamation sites are very particular. On the one hand, the land area must be large, so that it is suitable for large-scale mechanized production.
On the other hand, the role of a farm is to stabilize a place's food output and at the same time serve as a promoter of agricultural science and technology in the region.
Therefore, there will be farms in every place, but there cannot be too many farms in one place.
Homeowners are still the main production role in agriculture.
Dong Shuheng knows that large-scale planting is more efficient.
But with such a large population now, it is impossible for all of them to engage in industrial production.
In many industrial countries in later generations, the agricultural population only accounted for a small part of the national population.
At that time, it was because there was complete global market support at that time.
Now Dong Shuheng does not dare to let the pace of industrialization move too fast.
Why, because things produced by factories must be sold, and if they cannot be sold, inflation will occur.
That would be too harmful. And a society with a large number of farmers will be more resistant to economic crises.
To put it bluntly, the life of farmers is really not good, but they can still rely on the output of the land to support themselves and meet their most basic survival needs.
The people have lived through the self-sufficient feudal small-scale peasant economy for thousands of years.
In addition, the Immigration Bureau also needs to coordinate with the military. The military establishes military camps, that is, militarized farms, in some strategic locations, and recruits troops from the local area.
This coincides with immigration policy.
Dong Shuheng's immigration policy also balanced the population in various places. It included not only the number of people, but also the ethnic composition, and also the local resource conditions.
This is a very complex job.
"Yuxiang, are there any other matters? Regarding the changes in the Western Region and Northwest, we should wait and see what happens. There should be no problem with the military strength there," Dong Shuheng said.
The Renaissance Army now has more than half of its land forces in the northwest region.
It's just to guard against what Tsarist Russia might do. So now there is no need to make any special arrangements other than strengthening the alert.
"Yes, President, the Ministry of Finance is preparing to fully implement the paper currency of the Hua Yuan in the fourth year of recovery. In addition, the Ministry of Finance is preparing to promote the Hua Yuan to the vassal countries at next year's vassal nations conference, so that the vassal countries can communicate with us and the vassal countries.
All trade settlements will be settled in Chinese dollars."
"Reply to Hu Guangxu, regarding the comprehensive implementation of banknotes, they need to conduct further research and evaluate possible problems that may arise after the promotion. As for the promotion to vassal countries, they must first understand the current currency use of each vassal country
situation, and then draw up a currency agreement. Ultimately, the promotion of the Hua Yuan will be determined in the form of an agreement." Dong Shuheng said.
The use of a unified currency was originally Dong Shuheng's original intention to establish the Greater China Circle.
The Greater China Circle, as a federation, is based on the Chinese ethnic group and uses ethnic relations as the basis for connection.
Taking commercial connections and economic complementarity as the bond of interest. Commercial exchanges are inseparable from a unified currency.
In fact, few small countries today have established their own currency systems.
Most of the vassal states of the Renaissance Army use Huayuan because most of them maintain close business contacts with the Renaissance Army.
They all rely on the Renaissance Army. No matter from any angle, they must rely on the Renaissance Army for trade.
But they still use metal currency, and everyone knows that silver can be used as money.
The silver coins cast by the Fuxing Army are advanced in craftsmanship and very exquisite, which is why everyone chooses Huayuan.
Even those copper coins are very popular.
For example, the Fuso people have a special liking for Chinese copper coins.
But if paper currency is fully implemented, what will happen to our own people? Will those vassal countries be willing to ship a shipment of goods in exchange for a wad of banknotes?
Therefore, this matter must be done step by step, and the Huayuan credit system that was finally established cannot be destroyed.
"The Supervisory Yuan requested instructions to change official inspections from once a year to half a year. In addition to the resident Supervisory Yuan inspections, they also want to set up mobile inspection teams to randomly select routes to inspect local areas."
"Telegram Li Hu, has he considered how much more money this will cost and how many more inspectors will be needed? To supervise hundreds of officials and eliminate the administration of officials, we need to innovate and improve the inspection system. We cannot just rely on the accumulation of times and time. His proposal
There is nothing wrong with the original intention, but a budget plan needs to be submitted first." Dong Shuheng said with some displeasure.
In the past two years, there have been more and more cases of corruption. The Supervisory Yuan arrested a group of them, and then another group came out.
Li Hu, an upright and upright man, could not rub sand into his eyes.
I have always wanted to kill all these corrupt officials.
However, in the first half of the year, there was a case of collusion between local supervisors dispatched by the Supervisory Yuan and local government administrative officials.
The appearance of a mole this time will have a great impact on the image that the Control Yuan has finally built up.
Not only did other organizations take the opportunity to launch an attack, but even major newspapers reported on it.
The Control Yuan usually offends a lot of people.
Li Hu wanted to kill the local inspector.
After learning from the experience, he thought of setting up a roving inspection team in addition to the resident inspectors.
In fact, this does not fundamentally solve the problem.
Resident inspectors also need to be rotated every two years.
But even if he is rotated every year, there is still the possibility of being coaxed and dragged down by local officials.
As long as he is outside the bureaucracy of the Renaissance Army, he will have needs and there will be opportunities for others to win over him.
This involves a problem of diversification of the supervision system.
Only with a far-reaching supervision system can the problem of corruption be effectively reduced.
The Control Yuan is still an internal supervision within the government and is a product of the internal separation of powers.
Public opinion supervision now mainly relies on newspapers, but the news industry of the Fuxing Army has just started, and the professionalism and professional sense of mission of the employees have not yet been developed.
Government-run newspapers are timid, while commercial-run newspapers are too pursuit of fame and fortune.
In addition, there is social supervision. The common people are still the same group of obedient people who were poisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Their lives are much better now than before.
They have long been satisfied. Now if they are asked to supervise the government and cause trouble for the government, who is willing to do it? Who wants to do it?
Therefore, current social supervision is lacking.
As for the council system that Dong Shuheng originally wanted to implement at the local level, it has been determined to be temporarily unfeasible.
So this matter still needs to be completed step by step.
Some things need to be considered for the next generation, but some things really can only be relied upon by the next generation.
The new dynasty was established, but the people are still the same people now. Guxiao
Human thoughts are sometimes the most resilient and the most inert.
The older the person, the more obvious it is.
Just like some people have poor quality when they are young, they will still be like this when they get old.
People complain not that old people become bad, but that bad people become old. This is the truth.
"President, the Ministry of Industry is planning to build two hydropower stations in Xinjing, one is located in Heilongtan, Yanqing, and the other is located in Beihai Park. Among them, the hydropower station in Beihai Park is going to be built into a science and technology museum for the outside world to visit. The industrial zone said these two
Hydropower stations can solve 50% of Xinjing’s electricity consumption.”
Although these two hydropower stations are not large, the use of electricity has just been promoted, and the base of electricity consumption is not large.
"Well, I have told the Ministry of Industry about this before, but I didn't expect them to move so quickly. I will tell them later that this project will become a model for our hydropower station. This is something that will serve the present and benefit the future.
matter."
Although the Renaissance Army has determined plans to vigorously develop hydropower, it has not yet solved the problem of long-distance transmission of electricity.
Places suitable for building large hydropower stations are sparsely populated and do not require much electricity.
However, those places with developed industry and commerce and dense population are located in plain areas, which are not suitable for the development of hydropower.
Fortunately, electricity has just been popularized and the amount of electricity used is not large.
When planning industrial enterprises that consume large amounts of electricity, industrial zones are trying to move them closer to planned hydropower bases.
By then, hydropower stations and factories will be constructed simultaneously to supply power to each other.
Xinjing City’s current power supply still relies on thermal power generation.
There is no shortage of coal around Xinjing.
However, with the increase of population and the popularization of electricity, the demand for electricity will increase geometrically.
At some point it will be too late to do plumbing work.
The tall chimneys of thermal power plants will inevitably take away the blue sky of Xinjing.
The power that Dong Shuheng now holds makes it possible to directly switch the main source of energy supply from coal to nature.
The most powerful resistance to new energy comes not from technology, but from the tycoons who will control oil in the future, because it is too easy to obtain oil.
At the same time, oil has a strong regional character and is easily controlled and exploited by others.
Just as some countries do, they use oil as a tool to maintain their hegemony.
In the future, the Renaissance Army, which also has hegemony, can also allow society to skip its dependence on oil and directly enter the era of clean energy.
Dong Shuheng's business in Central Asia and Xianbelia was not for the oil there.
He wants oil to never become a mainstream energy source.
Although the Renaissance Army has now invented the internal combustion engine, this is only a transition.
Dong Shuheng believes that under his promotion, electricity will be the mainstream of the future.
"President, here is another briefing from North America."
"In the first half of this year, the number of our pioneering mission in central Canada increased to 120,000 people. A total of fifty-three settlements were set up."
"The northernmost of these settlements is on Big Bear Lake. The southernmost is in the upper Missouri River area. The largest of these settlements is the settlement south of the river on the shores of Great Slave Lake.
The reason why that place is the largest is because the main force of our North American advance team is stationed there. It is the front line of the confrontation with the British."
"Since the first half of the year, a total of more than 50 military conflicts have occurred there, but with the arrival of the advance team, the frequency of conflicts is decreasing."
The advance team of the Renaissance Army does not follow the same rules as the regular army.
The brutal battles in Xianbelia have long since tempered them into bloodthirsty beasts.
Only the Renaissance Army can still control them.
Especially the indigenous hunters and Fuso warriors in the advance team, they never blink an eye at killing, and their methods are cruel.
During the Spring Festival, Wang Xiao reported on the situation in North America and proposed sending an advance team there. In April, the advance team had already taken a boat from Vladivostok to the Zhuzhou area.
Then in May, before the weather in North America had warmed up, they had already launched a devastating raid on the wintering locations of the Indian tribes secretly supported by the Empire of Great Britain.
The sudden appearance of this irregular army caught the British in Canada by surprise. They were originally scheduled to launch an attack on the settlements of the Chinese pioneer group before the summer of this year.
To destroy their foothold and prevent subsequent immigrants from entering.
However, the arrival of such a fierce armed force made the British give up their thoughts.
They are now thinking more about how to protect themselves.
The advance team's attack was not just aimed at the Yintian people on the grasslands controlled by the British.
The advance team also killed a group of exiles who had been supplemented by Governor Hurd on the way.
There are now more than 5,000 people living in the Henan settlement. Everyone is working together to reclaim the land around the settlement.
High-yielding corn and potatoes, as well as soybeans, wheat and other crops have long been planted along the river.
It is already August in the Chinese calendar, which is the hottest time in the northern hemisphere. The shores of Great Slave Lake, located at 60 degrees north latitude, are already full of life.
The originally desolate Great Slave Lake finally had a farming civilization.
Before that, both the Yin people and the white people made a living by hunting and herding.
This keeps everything here in pristine condition.
Now it is the Chinese who have brought this place to life.
"President, here is a confidential letter sent to you by Mr. Liu." Wei Yuxiang said as he handed over a confidential letter sealed with a wax seal.
Not even Wei Yuxiang has permission to read this document.
Dong Shuheng knew this was a report about California.
The California mentioned by the Renaissance Army actually included the current California area and the Oregon area (the Washington area was not listed separately at this time).
These two regions cover almost the entire western United States. Their range extends from the west coast to Kansas and western Texas.
The management here is completely handed over to the West Coast Company, while the military relies on the Yangtze River Security Company.
This is not the same management system as the Canadian Midwest.
Central and western Canada is still an area of development officially led by the Renaissance Army.
It's the same as Alaska, the main purpose is to expand the chassis in order to occupy the resources here.
After all, Canada and Alaska are both bitterly cold places and cannot support much of the population. There are bottlenecks in development here.
The western part of the United States is different. The latitude here is lower and the temperature is the same as the mainland, so it has great potential for development.
And it is not suitable to be integrated with the local area.
Dong Shuheng will build a new country here in the future.
It is based on this plan that Dong Shuheng made this place a new model.
A model under his own complete control.
"President, I have nothing to do here, so I will go back first."
Wei Yuxiang also knew that Dong Shuheng had been handling matters in California, so he took the initiative to withdraw.
ps: I have written the beginning of the new book many times but I am still not satisfied. I started writing the first draft today and I feel much better. I will finish the book slowly as promised, so don’t worry. The new book is just prepared in advance and will not be uploaded yet.
