Chapter 427 Immigration Transit Station

As the largest immigration transfer station at present, Xiangshan has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few years.

The attitude of local magistrates towards immigrants has also undergone changes from rejection to acceptance to support.

This is not because Xiangshan's parents and officials are so enlightened, but in Xiangshan, immigration has become a business, a relatively mature business that can make money.

In the beginning, the officials in Xiangshan and Guangzhou were quite repulsive towards immigrants. A large part of the reason was that in order to keep the refugees gathered in Xiangshan from trouble, they needed to allocate some grain and rice from the government treasury for porridge.

The gathering of a large number of migrants also increases the administrative cost of their management.

These all cost money, and as long as it costs money, these officials will naturally not be happy.

Of course, if you can make money, that's a different matter.

Immigrants have made Xiangshan prosperous, and enriched the pockets of Xiangshan's parents and officials.

And now the Californians basically take care of the food and clothing of these immigrants, Xiangshan doesn't have to pay any price for these immigrants, just need to give them the green light to get rich benefits.

Therefore, Fang Jianyuan, the county magistrate who went up to Xiangshan County, and the small officials who went down to Xiangshan County, all held a very tolerant attitude towards these immigrants, to be precise, the immigrant industry.

Except for a few manufacturing companies such as Pratt & Whitney who have mastered multiple patented technologies and have relatively high entry thresholds.

"Eugene joined us in California?"

Compared with big cities and big towns with rich money and wealth, these villages have less money. They can't afford to set up exhibition halls, so they can only build a simple booth.

Muraviyov, the name Liang Yao was no stranger to, was printed on Russia's largest denomination of 5000 rubles.

The labor problem is a problem that is difficult to solve in California.

There is no shortage of funds in California. The major banks in California, whether local or foreign, are happy to provide funds for California factories and enterprises.

These people signed contracts with immigrants in the Qing Dynasty, and they could work in factories after registering with the Immigration Bureau in California and obtaining citizenship.

After visiting Fragrant Hills, Liang Yao was planning to go to the pier, but was blocked by a French-speaking white man in his 40s.

Wealth and taxation are all generated by the population. In California, the more populous a place is, the more developed it is, and the government's fiscal revenue will be more abundant.

Most industries compare who has the fastest expansion speed and whose capital turnover rate is high.

However, compared with the exhibition halls, the staff at these booths are more patient, almost answering every question, and the immigration conditions and investment conditions offered are more generous than those in big cities.

Many enterprises are currently facing the situation of dissatisfied workers.

California is currently in a period of rapid development, all kinds of industries are booming, and there are a lot of vacancies in the labor force.

Liang Yao could understand some French. As for speaking, he could only speak some simple words in French.

"Sorry, I don't know French." Liang Yao frowned, a little displeased.

The administrative level in California is based on population, and the number of immigrants is related to the vital interests of the village chiefs and dignitaries in these villages. Therefore, the village chiefs and dignitaries in these villages are very concerned about immigration.

Funding issues can be resolved in California.

"General Liang, it's really not easy to see you."

In a small exhibition hall at the end of the intersection of the exhibition hall area, Deng Yan saw that the place name written on the plaque at the entrance was Eugene, California, not Eugene, Oregon.

"As long as you attract enough immigrants, you will be able to change from the village head to the township head, and the township head to the town head in the next year. If you are the village head, you will also come here to pull people." Liang Yao said.

"You'll know if you ask." Liang Yao smiled.

"Probably not, if Eugene joins our California, at least the whole southern Oregon will join our California.

And four years ago, Eugene was still a small village.

California is more well-known in Qing Dynasty than any other American state.

Many people even simply know about California first, and then they know about the country of America.

California is now the big brother of the west coast of the United States, and even the entire western region. It is normal for younger brothers to want to follow the big brother.

"You don't know French?"

Walking down the road, Liang Yao discovered that these pavilions not only include pavilions in big cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles.

The signboard in Eugene, California is obviously more attractive than the signboard in Eugene, Oregon.

"Not yet, but sooner or later." Liang Yao said, "The place names on this plaque represent the thoughts of most Oregonians, especially those in the south."

In the past, the transportation of immigrants from the Qing Dynasty to California mainly relied on the capacity of global shipping companies, but now it relies more on the fleets spontaneously organized by California factory owners and entrepreneurs.

Putting Muraviev on 5000 rubles is somewhat presumptuous.The greed of the Russians for territory can be seen.

If you speak Russian at a nobleman's banquet, you will be laughed at, there is no doubt about it.

The upper aristocracy was proud to speak French and ashamed to speak Russian.

There was a gold rush in California, and now there is an oil boom. Even people in many inland provinces in the Qing Dynasty have heard of the name of California.

And the portrait of Peter the Great of the Russians is only printed on 500 rubles.

Of course, unlike factories and companies, these pavilions sent by governments at all levels in California not only attract immigrants, but also undertake the task of attracting investment.

"In this case, Russian must be a humble and vulgar language." Liang Yao said with a mocking tone.

"Even governments at all levels have come to rob people."

Knowing that Liang Yao can't speak French, this person was a little surprised, but besides the surprise, there was a sense of superiority on his face that couldn't be concealed.He switched to English.

Eugene is the closest large settlement in the Oregon Territory to California and is located in the southern Oregon Territory.It is also the largest city in Oregon after Portland.

The efficiency is much higher than Liang Yao's organization allocation in the early days.

There are even some rustic booths.

In order to be able to recruit workers, many factory owners and entrepreneurs are no longer satisfied with waiting at the port of California to rob immigrants, but go directly to Xiangshan, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and other places to directly rob immigrants.

Deng Yan, who accompanied Liang Yao to visit Xiangshan, pointed to the plaque in the front exhibition hall area and said.

If there is such a big thing, I won't be silent at all. "Deng Yan said after thinking about it.

These pavilions are all named after places, and the staff of the pavilions enthusiastically introduce their local conditions to passers-by, blowing up their locations to attract immigrants to work and settle there.

"If you have time, I suggest you learn French, which is a very elegant and elegant language. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Nikolaevich Muraviev, Governor of Siberia, Russian Empire."

As for the purpose of the big city governments setting up exhibition halls here to attract immigrants, it is nothing more than to grab people.

Only factories and enterprises that expand fast enough can survive the brutal market competition.

"The power of the market is so powerful." Looking at the crowded streets of Xiangshan, Liang Yao said with emotion.

The current competition logic in California is also very simple, regardless of the industry of Liang Yao America Group.

In the 19th century, the Russian upper class nobles and lower class people were still in a state of separation.

Due to the strong influence of France in continental Europe, French was the common language of continental aristocrats at this time.After all, the French men at this time are still very strong in martial arts, and they are not good at surrendering.

However, Russia is the only country in continental Europe that elevates French to such a high level, despises its own language so much, and is even ashamed of its own language.

Tsarist Russia after Peter I has been doing two things, one is to expand its territory and find an outlet to the sea.The other is the desire to integrate into the European continent and to be recognized by the mainstream powers of the European continent.

This is one of the reasons why Imperial Russia respects French so much.

The above two things are not only being done by Imperial Russia, but also by the Russian Federation in later generations.It can be said that I have not forgotten my original intention.
