Chapter 911: Mediterranean Migration.
Chapter 911: Mediterranean Migration.
Xie Baochan was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, if we force people to migrate, will the people agree?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "We have a complete system and considerable financial compensation. The people will agree to it."
Forced immigration was proposed by Zhuge Hong.
Families with five children are required to select one and immigrate overseas.
For those with eight children, two shall be drawn;
If there are ten children, draw three.
Because of the rapid population growth in the nine provinces of China, pressure is about to form.
Such forced immigration will not harm the foundation, can control the rapid growth of China's population, and can also supplement the strength of overseas Han people.
The Chinese population is too large and there are too few Han people overseas.
There is too much population, and there is pressure;
The population is too small, which affects the competition for land and development.
Zhuge Hong was also a hardliner and made such a suggestion to Ye Kun.
If this measure is really implemented, the number of Chinese emigrants each year will be close to five million!
Ye Kun agreed to Zhuge Hong's proposal, but had a requirement, which was that he must do a good job of appeasement and provide considerable financial compensation.
Each immigrant will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for his family and ten taels of silver for the individual immigrant.
Those who were determined not to immigrate would be fined twenty taels of silver.
This way, there is basically no problem.
Zhuge Hong sent a telegram a few days ago, saying that a pilot program of forced immigration had begun in the riverside and coastal areas.
Hearing this, Ye Shusheng smiled and said, "Father, if you make such an arrangement, I won't worry. Give me tens of thousands of people every year, take your time, I can wait."
Ye Kun nodded and said thoughtfully: "We will destroy the Eastern and Western Roman Empires sooner or later. Shusheng, when do you think it is best to destroy the Eastern and Western Roman Empires?"
Ye Shusheng thought about it, clasped his fists and said, "Father, I think about ten years will be enough."
Ye Kun asked: "Why ten years? What do you plan to do in these ten years?"
Ye Shusheng said: "In the next ten years, I will continue to accept Chinese immigrants, and at the same time, continue to encroach on the land and cities of the Eastern Roman Empire. Ten years later, our Han immigrants will have already taken root here and will be able to support themselves. At that time, the Roman Empire will naturally perish.
Ten years later, I will have at least 500,000 or 600,000 Han Chinese subjects and 2 million Roman subjects under my command. What will the Roman Empire be for then?"
"My son, what you said is exactly what I want."
Ye Kun laughed and said, "Regarding the Mediterranean Fleet, you need to do it yourself. That is, expand your current naval power.
I will give you a group of shipbuilding-related technical personnel, a group of craftsmen, and the steel and equipment you cannot solve. Of course, there are also a large number of soldiers and immigrants.
You don't have to rush, take your time, and build the fleet within three years."
Ye Shusheng nodded, and then pondered: "But, Huangfu Lin's influence in the West has already covered the entire Western Roman Empire. When I have a Mediterranean fleet in the future, how should I get along with Huangfu Lin?"
Huangfu Lin and Ye Kun are brothers.
Another great contributor.
Ye Shusheng was a little afraid of him.
Ye Kun nodded, pointed at the map and said, "Back then, Huang Fulin and I had an agreement that his territory was the Spanish Peninsula. The eastern and northern coasts of the Mediterranean are your territory and have nothing to do with him.
The territory you occupy depends on your ability.
However, there is one thing: Huangfu Lin has the right to manage and own the area within 50 miles of the coast on the Spanish Peninsula. "
Ye Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then said, "But Huangfu Lin has also occupied several large castles in the Western Roman Empire and controls the Western Roman Emperor and the princes and ministers. From now on..."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Huangfu Lin controls the Western Roman Empire and serves the imperial court. Every year, he sends back large quantities of gold, silver, copper, and other metals.
For the next two years, let him do what he wants. When your power grows stronger, I will let him give you the Western Roman Empire as well."
The Spanish Peninsula is very large.
It is enough for Huangfu Lin's descendants to live happily there for generations.
Moreover, Huangfu Lin only had more than 40,000 immigrants under his command.
In the short term, he could not truly control Western Rome, or even fully control the Spanish Peninsula.
As they were talking, a telegram arrived from Huangfu Lin.
Ye Kun took the telegram and read it, then smiled and said, "As expected, Huangfu Lin is short of people and is also asking me for more."
In the telegram, Huangfu Lin said that many of his soldiers and immigrants died due to acclimatization and fighting.
As for the rest, they had to control both the Spanish Peninsula and Western Rome, which was really exhausting.
He also had 50,000 allied troops under his command, composed of indigenous peoples of the Spanish Peninsula.
However, he was always worried about foreign armies and did not dare to use them.
Ye Shusheng smiled and said, "So how does Father plan to arrange this?"
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Now, the overseas areas surrounding China have all been controlled by us Han people, so the immigration efforts can be slowed down. For example, Izhou Island, the Nanyang Islands, Jiaozhi and Tianzhu have all suspended immigration.
Except for spontaneous immigration, the imperial court will no longer arrange immigration to the above areas.
The next main source of immigration will be Hanhuangdao, Oil Peninsula and the Mediterranean area.
Huangfu Lin's Spanish Peninsula wants people, I can give him some, about 20,000 or 30,000 per year."
Ye Shusheng was still afraid of Huang Fulin, and said with a smile: "Father, Huang Fulin's territory is only the Western Peninsula. Giving him 10,000 people a year is enough."
Ye Kun waved his hand: "Huangfu Lin's descendants will not threaten you within a hundred years, don't worry."
The expansion wars and large-scale immigration to the Spanish Peninsula have caused great damage.
Next, it is integration and development.
It will take at least a hundred years for Huangfu Lin's descendants to become powerful in the Spanish Peninsula.
Even if the Spanish Peninsula becomes strong, with its coastal resources and island resources, it will be enough for the descendants of the Huangfu family to squander.
Therefore, Ye Kun concluded that within a hundred years, Huangfu Lin’s descendants would not be enemies with the descendants of the Ye family.
It is hard to say whether the descendants of the Ye family will bully the descendants of Huangfu Lin.
After dinner, Ye Shusheng accompanied his mother to have a private chat.
Ye Kun called Huangfu Lin back, asking him to focus on his development and not to put too much pressure on Western Rome.
Ye Kun also agreed to continue to immigrate to the Spanish Peninsula, support technical personnel and medical educators, support advanced technology and advanced industrial equipment, and send Huangfu Lin ten more armored warships.
At home, Ye Feng also often sent telegrams to greet Ye Kun and ask about state affairs.
Ye Kun called back Prince Ye Feng and Zhuge Hong: "Domestic affairs, you can handle them at your discretion, no need to consult me. Right now, I am only concerned about the large-scale immigration to the Mediterranean and the Oil Peninsula. I hope you can withstand the pressure and make active arrangements."
A few days later, Zhuge Hong called again to report on his work.
When the forced immigration policy was announced, the people of China's nine provinces reacted indifferently.
In addition, there are many families who are overwhelmed with having too many children and hope that their children will immigrate overseas to receive bonuses and subsidize their lives.
There are also many young people who yearn for the stars and the sea, and for a bigger world, and they actively sign up and request to immigrate.
