Chapter 2848
It is somewhat ironic that in the early years, the northern region had to transfer refugees to the south on a large scale because there were too many refugees in its jurisdiction and it was difficult to resettle them.Thousands of refugees took boats out to sea at Zhifu Port, and went south to the colonial resettlement areas in Taiwan, Hainan Island and other places.
During the peak period, migrant boats depart from Zhifu Port every day, and as many as tens of thousands of refugees leave the country in a single month.The resettlement places for these northern refugees are mostly based on luck. If you are lucky, you may go to Sanya and become an employee of a collective farm; if you are unlucky, your destination may be somewhere near the sea near the equator thousands of miles away from home. In this small town, there will never be a chance to return to his hometown in this life.
At that time, the northern region didn't care about the specific whereabouts of the refugees. If they were not transported away as soon as possible, it would only lead to the rapid depletion of various materials in the jurisdiction, and then the situation would get out of control and fall into chaos.But few people would have imagined that more than ten years later, the northern region would be stumped by the population problem again, but this time it is not that the population is too large to support, but that it is too small to meet the needs of development.
With the current population size of the Liaodong region, if we want to meet the labor force required for development through natural reproduction, it may take at least one generation. The premise is that the Liaodong region can recuperate during this period, and there will be no wars or famines. disaster.
"Then how do you plan to solve the population problem?" Bex asked.
Now that Chen Yixin has brought this problem to the table, Beks thinks that he already has a plan to solve the problem, and it seems that there is not much room for choice in the direction of getting a large number of people.
"Put pressure on Daming, trade immigration for peace." Chen Yixin's plan can be described as simple and rude.
Beks asked rhetorically, "Da Ming signed the armistice agreement with our country to preserve the population and territory as much as possible. Do you think exerting pressure will work?"
Chen Yixin said: "Whether it will work or not will only be known after you have tried it. But as far as I know, the interior of Daming is not so peaceful. Daming has not had satisfactory harvests these years. If the year is a little bad, it is easy to cause famine, and The peasant army in the Central Plains has shown signs of resurgence in the past two years. If we are willing to accept those fleeing hungry refugees for Daming and solve their potential troubles, then maybe we can sit down and negotiate terms."
Beks asked calmly: "Is it really that simple? If the year is good, there are no refugee waves anywhere, and there is no peasant army as you expect, then your method won't work?"
Chen Yixin sneered, "If you cooperate with us well, then of course there will be no refugee waves and peasant armies. But if you refuse to cooperate, it will be hard to say."
Obviously, what Chen Yixin said about "putting pressure" was not just waiting for problems to arise within Daming. If Daming refused to cooperate in immigration, then Chen Yixin would probably try to create some troubles for Daming.
Even if there is no war with Daming, Chen Yixin still has many flexible means that can be used to achieve his goals.The northern region has enough power to influence the grain market of Ming Dynasty. As long as the funds are in place, it is not a problem to create an artificial grain shortage.As for the ambitious people who want to raise troops and become kings, there are countless people in Daming whose strength has been severely weakened today. As long as they provide some support secretly, there is absolutely no shortage of people who are willing to jump out and make troubles.
Of course, how to turn these methods into real pressure on the negotiating table will have to test Chen Yixin's negotiating skills.If implemented properly, it might be possible to force Daming to cooperate.
Bai Kesi was noncommittal to what Chen Yixin said, but continued to ask from another angle: "Do you think that the immigration needs of Liaodong can be solved through this channel?"
Chen Yixin said: "Even if it can't be completely solved, it can at least alleviate the demand for labor in some areas. I believe you understand that the value that the same labor can create in our hands is far greater than their contribution in Daming. It can be regarded as making the best use of people’s talents and making the best use of things.”
Beks pondered for a moment before responding: "This matter is no small matter, you should prepare a written report later, and I will go through the process when I bring it back to Sanya."
What Bai Kesi said about going through the process naturally meant bringing the matter to the Executive Committee for discussion and decision.Both the relationship with Daming and the development prospects of Liaodong are very important to Haihan. If these two major events get mixed up, they must be authorized by the executive committee before they can be implemented.
Chen Yixin was not surprised by Bai Kesi's answer, nodded and said: "Then let's talk about this first."
After returning to the room, Bai Letong took the initiative to ask his father a question: "I think Uncle Chen's plan doesn't sound like anything practical, so why is my father willing to accept it?"
Bai Kesi said: "If someone else said these words, it might sound a bit like bragging. But when Chen Yixin said these words in front of me, they were definitely not casual, but after careful consideration. Maybe he has already prepared a written report, just waiting for my request."
Bai Letong said: "But if we want to remove so many people from the Central Plains, Da Ming will not let go easily. If we really want to create chaos for Da Ming, it will inevitably lead to disaster. And with Da Ming's ability, if he can't control the situation , wouldn’t the world be in chaos? This is not in line with the executive committee’s idea of succeeding Daming as peacefully as possible!”
Bai Kesi said: "It is precisely because of prudence that I asked him to present a written plan to the executive committee for review. If the executive committee feels that the situation may get out of control, it may not approve his plan. But I think it should If we can find a balance that is acceptable to both parties through negotiation, we don’t necessarily have to threaten, we can also lure!”
Bai Letong said: "How should this lure be implemented? Is it possible that we still have to spend money to buy people? I only read about this in books. I heard that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of money was spent to import people from various industries from the Ming Dynasty. Talented people from all walks of life, do you want to do it again in this way?"
Beks shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we had no capital to negotiate conditions with Daming, so we could only spend money to do things. But the situation is different now. We are the strong side. Let our fingers loosen a little. It is a very considerable benefit. For example, if we decide to delay the acceptance of Shandong or other regions for a year or two, but ask Daming to provide immigration population in exchange, do you think there is room for negotiation on this matter? ?”
Bai Letong suddenly said: "Father is right. If an agreement can be reached on conditions acceptable to both parties, that would be the best."
