    Chapter 514: The Booming Construction of Liaodong (Third Update)

    The construction of Liaodong is not only the construction of the road network, but also other things such as water conservancy construction, education investment, etc.  This chapter is updated for you by netizens] So these two million people are pitifully small at all.

    But Xiao Mingqian did not want to turn Liaodong into a Korean world by his own hands, so even if the population of Liaodong was so small, Xiao Mingqian still did not immigrate Koreans to Liaodong on a large scale. This was Xiao Mingqian's insistence.

    However, Chen Yuanyun suggested that the Koreans who want to immigrate to Nanyang can be moved part of the way to the highway and port construction site in Liaodong.

    Firstly, it can provide a large amount of labor force for Liaodong. Secondly, it can allow these common people who have been tortured by the North Korean gentry class to be no different from beggars. With the abundant food on the construction site, they can withstand large-scale ocean voyages.  Transportation will prevent them from dying in large numbers on the road, nor will they bring any epidemic disease to the destination as soon as they get off the ship.

    Some people may say that before this, when they immigrated from Daming, there were no such conditions, so why should they be so kind to Koreans?

    ??This needs to be explained. First of all, the main force of the original immigrants was businessmen. The number of people they carried on each ship was only a few dozen people, and the conditions were not bad.  Secondly, it is not that the original Han people were not nursed back to health. In order to facilitate immigration, many merchants set up gathering points on the shore for immigrants to stay temporarily.

    The difference between this North Korean immigration and previous immigrants is that this time it is a large-scale, centralized immigration.  The main force of immigration is the navy's own transport fleet.  Very

    A ship usually carries two to three hundred people. In more than five months, the number of immigrants has reached 800,000.  This method of immigration caused more than 20,000 North Koreans to die on the road due to various reasons. In order to prevent the occurrence of large-scale infectious diseases, the Medical Department had a headache. It thought of many ways and took all possible measures to reduce the number of people.  Number of deaths and prevention of disease.

    It can be said that this migration is a journey of blood and tears for the Koreans.  However, due to Xiao Mingqian's deliberate cover-up, not many people knew this at all. A hundred years later, they could only look for clues in unofficial history.

    This time is at the beginning of the construction of Liaodong Highway. Although some sections are still being planned, construction of many sections has already begun.

    Although Xiao Mingqian has begun to build three cement plants in Liaodong, the output is still insufficient and can only be transported from Taiwan to Liaodong.  As a result, countless cement, steel and other materials were transported crazily to Liaodong, and the entire Liaodong became a huge construction site.

    And the people of Liaodong, who had stored more food than they could eat in their homes for two years, finally believed that in the Chinese Empire, there was never anything to worry about such as food.

    In order to make my life better, in order for my family to live in a beautiful small building like those from Taiwan and Sakhalin, in order for my children to enter the newly established school  To study, or even to make their mother-in-law or daughter more beautiful, millions of people in Liaodong gathered to work on various construction sites.  For this reason, most of the land in Liaodong was completely abandoned.

    But even so, there are still not enough manpower, especially for dangerous jobs.

    The employment method of the Chinese Empire is completely voluntary. When hiring people from Liaodong, they clearly explain the work they will do, and let them know in advance any dangers.

    Who is willing to do those dangerous jobs when people are needed everywhere?  Therefore, except for those non-Han prisoners of war and real women who resisted Chineseization, there was no manpower to be used in places where there was greater danger.

    Since then, there has been a suggestion to temporarily send North Koreans to work on the construction site in Liaodong for half a year, and then transport Taiwan Island to the south.

    Liaodong's manpower dilemma forced Xiao Mingqian to accept this suggestion and sent millions of Koreans to various construction sites in Liaodong, using their labor in exchange for the improvement of their lives and future opportunities in Southeast Asia.  Ten acres of land per person.

    In this way, at the end of 1851, the problem of manpower shortage in Liaodong was completely solved, which greatly accelerated the progress of construction in all aspects.

    Under this situation, Xiao Mingqian decided to build a huge steel base next year in Benxi, where iron ore and coal mines had just been discovered.  Once this base is built, its annual steel production will be able to reach at least 800,000 tons.  This is a huge progress and will greatly speed up the construction of the entire Liaodong region and North Korea.

    Liaodong, this treasure land, Xiao Mingqian has placed great expectations on it.  Xiao Mingqian believes that it only takes ten years, ten yearsWithin, it will definitely become the heavy industrial base of the entire Chinese Empire, providing huge power for the areas that are still under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

    By comparison, North Korea, across the river, is much miserable.  It's not that Xiao Mingqian is partial and doesn't want to build the North Korean region, but that the current North Korea is really messy.

    Although the Korean royal family has been basically wiped out and the gentry class in North Korea has also been wiped out, due to the immigration policy set by Xiao Mingqian, the government did not confiscate the land of the large gentry households in North Korea such as Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.  Such large-scale distribution to poor people.

    A large number of the gentry were liquidated, and most ordinary people, in addition to getting food at low prices, did not get the land they most hoped for. The accumulation of these two factors made the Korean people's resistance very fierce.  .

    Although many Korean people can earn a lot of money by working for the Chinese imperial government and army, so that their families can live a good life, but without land, they cannot be stable in their hearts, so those who are active  The so-called rebels who resisted had the soil to survive.

    They hide among ordinary North Koreans, carrying out constant attacks and destruction.  For this reason, in more than five months after the full occupation of North Korea, the Imperial Chinese Army, which had been renamed the People's Liberation Army, suffered more than 300 casualties, and the Korean rebels also suffered more than 80,000 casualties.  Under such circumstances, how can Xiao Mingqian carry out infrastructure construction in this area with confidence?

    However, this situation is changing. First, the Chinese Empire's garrison in North Korea has increased to 160,000. Secondly, nearly two million North Koreans have flowed into the Liaodong region and Nanyang, making it seem that the Korean rebels are slowly being defeated.  For fish in a dry pond, death is their ultimate fate.
