Qin Zhen agreed readily.
Changing this condition was actually a last-minute idea!
After all, Great Qin no longer lacked resources, and the newbie benefits were enough to ensure that Great Qin would not run out of resources for the next three years. In the past three months, they had fished up large amounts of coal, tungsten, copper, Mo, and Mn ore veins, as well as rubber, tung oil, and boar hair.
The resource crisis had been completely resolved. There was no need to plant flowers and develop mines.
In the future, if they lacked resources, they could just snatch them from the western powers.
"Your Majesty, Chang Kaishen agreed so quickly. Could there be some conspiracy?”
At this moment, Li Xiong, who had been silently observing Chang Kaishen, asked in a low voice.
Conspiracy?
"What do you think is going on?" Qin Zhen asked curiously.”
"Uh…I don't know either."
Li Xiong shook his head. He only subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.
As for what was wrong, or what Chang Kaishen was plotting in secret, he could not guess.
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements!"
Qin Zhen thought about it and came to a conclusion. Chang Kaishen would definitely not be so obedient as to be manipulated by him. He most likely wanted to use Great Qin's help to rise up and use the western countries to kick Great Qin away and gain economic power.
It had to be said that Qin Zhen understood Chang Kaishen's character too well. His guess was accurate!
Heh, is my money that easy to take?
Qin Zhen glanced at Chang Kaishen and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Chairman, the cooperation with the Milky Way Trading Company is temporarily settled. The next topic is to lift the immigration restrictions!”
"I drafted a plan last night. See if it works!”
As he spoke, Qin Zhen opened the folder and took out a proposal and handed it to Chang Kaishen.
The plan was very simple. After the immigration restrictions were lifted, Great Qin's immigration department would be allowed to recruit people from all over the country. The government would not be able to stop those who wanted to immigrate to Great Qin and their families.
After Chang Kaishen finished reading it, he shook his head and said,"Your Majesty, you should know that the immigration restrictions have been lifted, and most flower farmers will choose to migrate to Great Qin.”
" I won't stop our people from migrating to Great Qin because that's their freedom. However, if we have fewer people, no one will be able to farm the fields, and the food production will decrease. The tax revenue will also decrease…"
Fine, he still needed money.
Qin Zhen looked down on Chang Kaishen. This was the typical case of finding too few people when employing people and finding too many people when eating. If he f * cking treated the commoners as humans, would he end up fleeing the continent with his tail between his legs?
Eating was the most basic need of human life and the main content of human life. Just as people often said that food was the most important thing for the people, eating was the first.
Nature could provide humans with all kinds of food sources, but it also depended on people's productivity and social nature.
In fact, throughout history, humans were often in a state of food shortage and could never get rid of the threat of hunger. In a certain sense, human history was a history of fighting against hunger.
In the long history, people's food problem was deeply restricted by natural environmental conditions. Floods, floods, droughts, pests, diseases, and other natural disasters often occurred. People were powerless in front of them and basically relied on the weather to eat.
Moreover, because the ruling class of the past dynasties only knew how to levy exorbitant taxes and did not pay attention to improving the production and living conditions of the common people, the common people had always been the ones who suffered from food shortage.
Thousands of years of history was a history of hunger and suffering for the common people. It was common for large numbers of people to starve to death.
Take the Republic of China as an example. Most of the land in the countryside belonged to the landlords who accounted for less than 10% of the population, while the poor peasants, long-term workers, short-term workers, servants, and lower-middle peasants who accounted for the majority of the population had no land or occupied very little land.
The government and local warlords imposed exorbitant taxes, and most of the harvests in the countryside were occupied by the landlords and gentry. The vast number of poor, farm laborers and lower-middle peasants were often in a state of food shortage or starvation.
There were often tens of millions of people in the country who relied on fleeing from famine to survive, living a homeless life, with no clothes to cover their bodies, and no food to eat.
Hungry people begging on the streets, starving people falling to the ground on the roadside, selling their children, and the scene of wives and children being separated could be seen everywhere in the nine provinces.
Before Qin Zhen transmigrated, he had read a historical record. During the Republic of China, on a cold morning in Donghai, the cleaners cleared more than 300 corpses that had starved to death or frozen to death.
This was the developed international metropolis of Donghai. What about the countryside?
In the vast rural areas, whenever floods, droughts, locusts, plagues, and other disasters occurred, there would be a great famine and a large number of people would die.
Just a few major disasters as an example!
From 1928 to 1930, a famine occurred in the eight northern provinces centered on Shaanxi and Gansu. It was mainly a drought. There was no rain for 12 months and no harvest in summer and autumn.
Following that, locusts, wind, snow, hail, floods, and plagues occurred one after another, causing about 50 million refugees and more than 10 million deaths.
Among them, the number of deaths in Shaanxi Province alone reached more than 3 million, and more than 6 million people were displaced, accounting for 70% of the province's population. The number of deaths in Gansu Province was 2.3 million.
In 1936 - 1937, there was a famine in Sichuan Province. It was mainly due to the long drought, cracking of the fields, lack of food, sparse vegetation, and the government and warlords 'excessive taxation. Local rich families and wealthy businessmen hoarded and hoarded. Most people ran out of food, resulting in 37 million victims.
Many commoners fled from their homes, leaving the countryside empty. The roads were filled with hungry corpses, and no one was able to clean up the corpses.
Regarding this great famine, the country's newspapers had reported that the starving people were eating tree bark, grass grain, and white mud. The food panic of the people had reached an extreme point.
The total number of deaths from the disaster was unknown. According to the local newspapers at the time, the population of Wanyuan County in Sichuan Province alone had dropped by one-third. More than a thousand people starved to death every day in both urban and rural areas. There were families starving to death in Renshou County. In the second district of Nanjiang, more than two thousand people starved to death in two months. In many places, hungry people were eating and selling human flesh.
During the period of the Republic of China, there were 11 floods in the Yangtze River, affecting more than 100 million people. In 1931, a flood caused 28.55 million victims and hundreds of thousands of people died.
More than 3 million people died from starvation and plague after the flood. In 1934, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River suffered a drought that spread to more than 220 counties, including more than 40 counties in Jiangxi Province. According to records, the roots and bark of the grass were dug out. Some of the victims starved to death and some committed suicide by taking poison. At least 2.6 million people died.
The drought in Wan Province was also very serious. The seedlings had withered and the land was barren. No one had counted the number of deaths.
The Yellow River was not peaceful either. On average, it would burst twice every three years, causing countless disasters and deaths to the common people.
In 1933, there were 62 crevices in a year, and 3.64 million people were affected. In 1938, Chang Kaishen passively resisted the Japanese pirates and personally ordered to open the Yellow River levees at Huayuankou in Henan Province, causing the Yellow River to burst and change its course, causing 44 counties and cities in Henan, Jiangsu and Jiangsu provinces to be flooded. The affected area was 54,000 square kilometers, and the affected population was more than 10 million.
3.9 million people were displaced from their homes, and more than a million people drowned or starved to death.
Therefore, the Republic of China was not a place of debauchery. The Republic of China was a chaotic world where people ate each other. Even eating a full meal and living a peaceful life became a luxury!
The debauchery and debauchery only belonged to the corrupt and corrupt Guotang, who only knew how to oppress the people. It only belonged to the four great families led by Chang Kaishen, the landlord gentry, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang magnates, and the emerging capitalists who relied on Guotang. It did not belong to the common people.
To the commoners, the Republic of China was hell!
"Chairman, I don't think it's appropriate to give money, like human trafficking. How about this? As compensation, we can choose 100,000 students to study in Great Qin for free every year.”
"Deal!"
