African Nationhood

Chapter 517 Madagascar ()
In September 1910, the land rights confirmation work of the Falklands Agricultural Development Company was basically completed.

After field surveys, the actual number of acres on the island is as high as 1321.18 million acres. Compared with the amount seen in the documents left by the French, there is a huge difference.

These hidden fields were mainly occupied by indigenous dignitaries colluding with local governments and the French using their power.

Moreover, most of the land they occupy is fertile and has convenient water conservancy.

There is also land hidden in the valleys. When the rights verification team asked where the acres of land occupied by rich indigenous households were, they refused to explain.

Li Lei directly called a plane from the mainland to conduct the survey in person. After the high-altitude pilots conveniently surveyed and mapped the shape and size of the fields in the air, the indigenous landowners did not dare to deny it.

Such an overbearing and greedy guy doesn't have to be polite at all. He directly arrests the local Lunda Administrative Office and sends them to work. They have to shed a few layers of skin even if they don't die.

As for the additional areas occupied by the French, they will be directly nationalized, and additional fines will be imposed based on the size of the area.

The French did not dare to resist, otherwise they would be arrested as well.

The garrison following the agricultural company is not a vegetarian, and no one dares to assassinate the authority confirmation group.

……

After the land rights confirmation work, a total of 241.11 landless poor people were identified, including 156.81 pure-blood Falklands natives and 16.19 pure-blood black people.

After the land rights confirmation team informed Minister Zhong Yilin of the data, Minister Zhong Yilin convened a staff meeting of the Falklands Administrative Office.

In the past few months, ships from the mainland to and from the Falklands have been running continuously, so the number of personnel in various departments has gradually increased.

The personnel of the cultural and educational department are also ready. The person in charge this time is Li Wei, the wife of Secretary-General Cai Shaoji.

She is mainly responsible for assimilation matters on the Falklands, and her main slogan is that the pure-blood indigenous people on the Falklands belong to the Chinese heritage.

Because they have been separated for too long, the customs of the two sides are slightly different, but the fact that both sides share the same ancestor cannot be ignored.

At the same time, the cultural and educational department also compiled a human evolution and migration route map to illustrate that people with yellow skin belong to the same family.

Chinese education on the island officially began, and all pure-blood indigenous children on the island attended school free of charge.

You can also enjoy the island's government medical services, except for mixed-race and black people.

The pure-blood natives felt the goodwill of Nanhua's rulers and enthusiastically supported Nanhua's rule.

In addition, Zhong Yilin began to form parliaments at all levels. Pure-blood indigenous people accounted for the majority of the parliament, but the speakers of the parliament were all South Chinese.

As for the capital council, South Chinese make up the majority, pure-blood natives make up the minority, and there are only a few mixed-race natives.

After the formation of parliaments at all levels, all that remains is to reorganize governments at all levels.

Because the island is so big, Zhong Yilin decided to divide the island into five regions.

To the north is the Sandalwood Region, with its capital being Anna City (today's Antsiranana City, Falklands), because in addition to the vanilla from Nobe Island, there are many black sandalwood and rosewood forests within the territory.

This area will mainly focus on vanilla cultivation and export of precious sandalwood.

Jinzan Region, the capital of which is Maga City (today’s Mahajanga City on Maldives Island), is a tropical crop planting area and will become a planting base for primary agricultural products such as local rubber and cocoa in the future.

In addition, there are also mineral resources such as titanium, iron, ferrochromium, and gold. Both gold and ilmenite have development potential. In the future, the development of these two minerals will be focused.

The capital of the Tuta region is Tufo City (today's Antananarivo City, Falklands Islands). This region will be the central area of ​​the Falklands Islands.

In addition to the city of Antananarivo, there is also the best deep-water port on the Falklands, Tamatave Port (today’s Toamasina Port on the Falklands). Light and heavy industries and port trade will be arranged here, and fishery and tourism will also be actively developed.

Wenyuan Region, the capital of Feilan City (today's Fianarantsoa City on Falklands Islands), is the cultural and educational center of Falklands Islands, with relatively developed printing and education industries.

At the same time, there are also some light and heavy industries concentrated here, including cement factories, machinery factories and printing factories. It is also the animal husbandry center on Falklands.

In addition, the graphite and mica minerals here are rich, and mineral resource mining will be carried out here in the future.

Fubao Region, the capital of which is Tula City (today’s Port of Toliara on Falkland Island), is rich in coal and ruby ​​sapphire minerals. In addition, there are bauxite mines here, and the electrolytic aluminum industry can be developed in the future (here The waters are also rich in oil).

Below the administrative office are the five regions, and below the regions are the counties and towns.

The administrative body of the Administrative Office is the Madagascar Management Committee. The Madagascar Management Committee has one chairman and three vice-chairmen, one of whom is the former prime minister who changed his name to Laidry.

The remaining three chairman and deputy chairmen are all South Chinese. After discussions with the cabinet, Cheng Daye, the former commissioner of the Transvaal Office, once again took the lead and served as chairman of the Horse Management Board.

The other two vice-chairmen are Deng Shicong, commissioner of the Orange Administration, who is a standing vice-chairman and is responsible for many affairs.

The other one is Liang Puzhao, a classmate studying in the United States with a mining background. This classmate Liang has been engaged in mining work in the industrial and commercial sector.

Now he is transferred to the Falklands to let him use his expertise to boost the development of mineral resources on the Falklands.

Most of the mayors of the following five districts also arranged for local civil servants from Nanhua to serve.

As for judicial issues, Zhong Yilin did not form a separate organization such as a judicial committee. He directly placed the judicial department under the executive government and established separate justices and chief prosecutors.

Li Yan and Qiaoson Stanton were appointed respectively. These two people have made great achievements in local judicial work in recent years, and they just happened to be pulled out to practice in the Falklands.

After the overall framework of the Falklands was established, the immigration migration work between the mainland and the Falklands officially began.

The first is to move the pure-blood natives on the island to the mainland and place them in the Lunda Administrative Office.

The climate there is hot and mosquito diseases are more common. These purebred natives of the island were able to take root even if they were damaged in the past.

After all, after working there for three years, they will be given land. Many proletarians are very willing to accept this arrangement. If they stay on the Falklands, they will have no land and can only act as sharecroppers.

As for mixed-race indigenous people and pure-blood black people, they either accept employment from major transportation construction companies to build roads and railways, or they work as tenant farmers for the Falklands Agricultural Development Company to earn wages.

Will the Horse Management Association grant land to the landless indigenous people? It is possible to buy land.

The premise is that you must have money. If you don’t have money, you can only work or accept employment.

The prerequisite for South China Bank to provide low-interest loans to merchants on the Falklands must be physical mortgages. Those without mortgages cannot get loans. After obtaining a loan, the use of funds also needs to be supervised by South China Bank.

If you do not follow the plan for applying for a loan after receiving the loan, the bank has the right to withdraw the loan and deduct the collateral.

……

As medical schools have opened applications for local study abroad, secondary schools have also opened applications for local study abroad. The premise is that the Chinese language proficiency must be passed.

Therefore, some wealthy businessmen and powerful people in the Falklands have spent huge sums of money to hire teachers from the education department to provide tutoring for their children, hoping that their children's Chinese language skills will quickly improve and they can go to study abroad as soon as possible.

Ships constantly travel between the mainland of South China and the island of Madagascar. Such a large number of exchanges of people and materials are rapidly changing Madagascar.
