Chapter 779 Aboriginal Labor

"Well, it is true that the navy is very important. They don't need too big ships, nor do they need to be advanced. It is enough to have a few cruisers, or even ironclad ships to support the facade, and then some destroyers and speedboats. The most important thing is to have Transport ships must be capable of amphibious island capture. There are so many islands in the South China Sea. We can’t just satisfy one Borneo. We need to expand, and finally take Java, Sumatra, and New Guinea. The fat is flowing with oil, and the products are abundant, so don't let it go."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Baili, you always pay attention to making decisions before you act. Why are you so anxious about expansion? You won't be afraid of provoking the United States, Britain, and France to unite." , these three countries jointly sanctioned, we can't bear it!"

"This is something your vice president has to consider." Jiang Baili said with a smile: "I only care about the army. In fact, many generals have asked me for instructions, hoping to go to Nanyang to expand the territory, especially seeing Xu Shuzheng relaxed Song wins, they can't take it anymore."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh. It is true that expansion and war are like opium, which makes people want to stop. In fact, Zhang Tinglan is not like this. One Borneo is as large as ten Jiangsu provinces, and it is rich in various resources. Anomalies, if developed, can at least solve the survival problems of 5000 million Chinese people.If we can get all the Nanyang islands, the problem of more Chinese and less land will be gone. Even if the population exceeds one billion in the future, there is no need to worry.

It's just that Zhang Tinglan still has a little calm in her heart. Expansion and war must be done with caution. Once the state apparatus turns to militarism with all its strength, there is no turning back.Like Nazi Germany, sweeping across Western Europe.The territory suddenly expanded several times. In fact, according to common sense, they should stop, digest it, and then continue to expand.

But in fact they can't stop anymore, internal generals are gearing up, military enterprises are eager to try, and public opinion is boiling.The most terrible thing is that the main opponents of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union are also alert, and they are also sharpening their swords, even if Germany does not fight.They also get hands on.Once this point has been reached, there is no turning back, and one must wait until one party completely collapses.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan does not want to embark on this path of no return. After all, China has a huge body, and it only needs to develop step by step.Sooner or later, there will be a day when the former status will be restored, and there is no need to be hysterical like the bitter and bitter Germany.

It is also out of this consideration.Zhang Tinglan did not recognize Nan Hua.Avoid a complete confrontation with the Western world.

"Brother Baili, Nanyang has been China's sphere of influence since ancient times. I am determined to drive the Westerners out, but now is not the time to act recklessly. We still focus on hard training of internal strength."

"Zhuo Yan's words are reasonable. You have to eat every bite, but you haven't said where the fleet came from. We don't have so many ships on hand."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly, and spit out two words: "Japan!"

……

"Hurry up. Follow me!"

"What about you, old man, hurry up!"

Several militiamen escorted twenty or thirty aborigines who were tied together with ropes, and walked towards the port. They beat these aborigines severely with whips.

When they passed through the rainforest and arrived at Machen Port, a large number of escorting indigenous teams had gathered around them. There were thousands of people in the dark, like a cattle market.

Not only these soldiers, but also many indigenous leaders participated.The number of native slaves they carried was even greater, and each of them showed a look of utter greed, waiting to sell them all.

After many years in Borneo, Xu Shuzheng and the others also knew the situation of the aborigines very well. People in the coastal areas had very early contact with the Chinese, and they had also come into contact with the colonists. Relatively speaking, they had a relatively high level of civilization and were also the pioneers of the revolution.

In addition, there are a large number of small villages in the rainforest. They are basically still in the stage of primitive society and are very backward.Villages one by one are like tribes, constantly killing each other.Before the dominance was stabilized, Xu Shuzheng and the others treated the natives fairly politely, after all, they could win over as much as they could.

But now that Borneo is basically under control, they are no longer merciful.Moreover, news has also been sent from the country that a large number of labor is urgently needed, and the more the number, the better.

Now the entire First Five-Year Plan has reached a critical period. With the completion of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, larger-scale construction work has also been put on the agenda.The government promulgated a new plan to build the Sichuan-Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet, Xinjiang-Tibet, and Yunnan-Tibet highways, as well as the Southern Xinjiang Railway and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway.

In addition, in Xinjiang, Outer Mongolia, and the Far East, we need to vigorously build railways, build large farms in the Northwest and Northeast, overhaul agricultural infrastructure in the Central Plains, control the Yellow River, and build shelter forests in the north.

Take any one of these projects, and they are all extremely large, especially in the northwest and southwest regions, where the terrain is rugged and the construction risks are quite high.Take the Chengdu-Kunming Railway as an example. In order to build this railway in later generations, thousands of people died, and they were all well-trained railway soldiers.

In particular, most of these projects are only needed for national defense, and they will lose money in a short period of time. If huge labor costs are invested, the government's finances will definitely not be able to bear it.But the pressure from the Soviet Union was in front of us, and we had to do it. Zhang Tinglan was already preparing to recruit a large number of farmers and herdsmen who had been allocated land to do these jobs.But now that there are natives, they can only be wronged.

Zhang Tinglan had already sent a telegram to Xu Shuzheng, exchanging five aborigines for one domestic immigrant. After Xu Shuzheng got the news, he was also overjoyed.Aboriginals and Chinese are not of the same mind. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese are facing millions of aboriginals. No matter how you look at it, this population ratio is very dangerous.

What's more terrible is that these natives are stupid and lazy. They take a step with a whip, and they will go backwards if they don't.Xu Shuzheng was also eager to get rid of this kind of rubbish, which happened to hit it off with the domestic proposal.

Ports such as Machen and Samarinda have rapidly emerged population markets, and a number of labor service companies have also been established in China.They organized domestic immigrants to Borneo, and then exchanged for the natives to go back on a one-to-five basis, and they could earn more than double the profit between one round and one round.

Although the war in Nanyang is still going on, this kind of profit is also unstoppable. The enthusiasm of the domestic people is also quite high, and the land of Borneo is almost unlimited.After they came over, they could get as much as they wanted to cultivate.And even if you don't want to farm, Nanhua has just established a country and is in urgent need of all kinds of talents.

He was frustrated in the country, but when he arrived in Nanhua, he might be able to be a hero, especially those businessmen, who took the time to enclose land and try to get a bite of the fat.

The population market was extremely lively, and ghosts and monsters from all walks of life also appeared. Shi Jianfei led a few brothers and drove three broken boats to Ma Chen.

As soon as he entered the port, his brothers looked around, and when they saw the patrolling soldiers, they were a little timid.At this time, several sailors also found them, hurried over, and said sharply: "What are you doing, take out your ID cards?"

Shi Jianfei was tall, about 186 feet tall. When he saw these soldiers, he hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Bosses, the younger ones are businessmen. Come and see the business."

The leading soldier looked at him, sneered, grabbed his hand suddenly, and said with a smile: "He is playing with guns, and he is doing business with no capital, right?"

Shi Jianfei saw that he was spotted by others, and hurriedly said: "Boss, to be honest, I was born as a pirate, but don't worry, we never rob Chinese people, only foreigners. I can't survive these two years. I heard that now After the founding of Nanhua, I wanted to come here to find a way out."

The soldier looked at it, then nodded: "It's useless to tell me, I will take you to meet the officer, and they will do whatever they say."

Shi Jianfei and the others trembled, and were taken to a registration office, which was mainly responsible for Chinese immigrants. People from the country had to be handed over here first, and then the businessmen could go to the market to pick labor.

The person in charge asked about Shi Jianfei's situation, and after listening to his introduction, the person in charge didn't make things difficult for him, and said with a smile: "You are from pirates, and it may be difficult to become a soldier. Now there are two ways, one is to become a soldier." Farmers, cultivate the land honestly, and then do business to make money, but if you still want to focus on the old business, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."

"Don't dare, dare not!" Shi Jianfei waved his hands again and again: "Sir, brothers don't want to fight and kill, but we don't know how to do business, so it's a bit embarrassing."

"Don't worry about it, see if you see it. These are all laborers from China. To put it bluntly, they are buyers. If you are willing to do it, I will issue a certificate for you. Then go to the market to get laborers and send them back to China. I can make a small profit, and one person can exchange five yuan!"

Shi Jianfei is not slow-witted. It costs five yuan per person. From Nanyang to China, food and drinking water are less than one yuan. Just now I heard that a laborer only costs two yuan. That is to say, as long as one person is sent to China, he can If you earn more than two yuan, you will get 100 yuan to send fifty people.An ordinary worker, working hard for a month, is only five oceans. This deal is so worth it.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice, just a little bit, please accept it!"

Speaking of which, Shi Jianfei stuffed a rag bag into the person in charge's hand, which was heavy, and contained five exquisite western pocket watches, all of which were good things Shi Jianfei had accumulated as a pirate.

The person in charge nodded after reading it: "Brother Shi, in fact, there is knowledge in changing people. It is not suitable to buy directly with Dayang. You can go to the army first and buy some scrap ammunition at a low price. As long as it can be fired. Then Go and exchange slaves with those indigenous leaders, a gun costs 30 yuan, and at least ten slaves can be exchanged.”

When Shi Jianfei heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your reminder, sir, if I have a prosperous day, I will never forget you." (To be continued...)
