The first thousand six hundred and sixty-one chapters
In later generations, China suffered from the pain of the population. 7% of the land was feeding 22% of the world's population. You should know that most of China's land is land that is not suitable for cultivation. For example, Xinjiang, Tibet, and Mongolia, these three major regions occupy almost 40% of China's land. However, on such a huge and wide-ranging land, the arable land area is almost tiny.
China relies more on the original mature provinces to grow grain and feed the people across the country. Even due to the relationship between reform and opening up and industrialization, COFCO Province has been changing. It has returned to the Central Plains from Guangdong, Guangxi and the two lakes to return to the Central Plains because the transportation in the Central Plains is not very convenient, and they can only rely on growing grain.
In order to reduce China's burden, especially in future food security and job opportunities, the practice of family planning has to be adopted. Family planning has delayed China's arrival time for a long time, reducing the fertility rate to a controllable level. This approach is beneficial to the entire China, but it also brings a series of consequences. In addition to the possible aging problem in the future, there are also ethical reasons. Only children have cut off many kinship relationships. After all, only children, uncles, uncles, aunts, etc., will basically no longer exist. If they continue for a long time, they will inevitably shake China's foundation.
At that time, China had no choice but to reduce the population, the contradictions in all aspects of China would not be so intensified, and even had the spare time to invest funds in more important areas. Just like before the reform and opening up, even when the life was opened, even if there was some problems with supporting so many people. The reason for this was that China was backward at that time and could not use its own labor to obtain high-value-added products. In addition to the large population of China, in addition to digging deep into its own potential and feeding more people with less arable land, it could not adopt an expansionary trend. Since the land that feeds itself locally is no longer able to bear it, expand outward and gain more living space for China.
There is no problem in this era. Siberia, Australia, Southeast Asia, and huge land is enough to provide more food for the population. Southeast Asia itself is a traditional grain-producing area. China's hard work and agricultural technology support these areas to have greater output. With food security guaranteed, China has never considered limiting population. China has mastered the world's most advanced productivity. Population represents wealth and the speed of China's development. The huge and rich land is enough to allow China's current population to expand by 4 times, and it can still live a good life.
This is not a simple matter. The entire world currently has a population of only 1.7 billion, including huge Africa. After leaving out the ignorant and uncivilized Africa, China accounts for more than half of the world. If China's population is expanded four times on this basis, China's total population will account for more than half of the world. Even if China stops and stabilizes its current territory, as long as China straightens its internal relations, no one can challenge China. Inclusiveness, China will be inclusive, and China will be out of China. Chinese civilization has always developed through influence and integration. Even the descendants of Yan and Huang are the result of the convergence of Yan and Huangdi tribes. There are many examples of integration in history, and the difference is nothing more than active integration and passive integration.
Although this time, it is a little more radical, accounting for almost 15% of China's population. If the expatriates and some indigenous people are added, the proportion will be even greater, and it will almost reach 25%. Such integration will easily lead to problems. In the next 30 to 50 years, it will be the most critical for China. If there are certain variables in China's future and stability, it will directly affect China's development and may fall apart.
Yang Yuanzhao is very clear about this, but China is like a powerful chariot, moving forward inertia. In the next 30 years, Yang Yuanzhao can still control the situation. Under the premise of a strong China, China can withstand all the hidden dangers caused by radicalism. Even Yang Yuanzhao is looking forward to it. This has never happened, but it is China's biggest opportunity in the early 20th century. As long as this part of the personnel is integrated, China's population will achieve a huge leap, and the number will rise to more than 700 million. The population from various races and countries can improve the quality of the population to a certain extent.
In genetics, the more the relatives are, the higher the genetics of the offspring, and it is easy to produce diversity. This is a relationship of overall improvement. Different races live together, different cultural heritage, and even genetic conflicts will make China develop faster.
This move has become a basic national policy that is second only to war. In fact, from the large number of captives recruited, the movement of national integration has not been relaxed. All the population that came to China has at least 90 million. China gives them the opportunity to work and give them the treatment they deserve. However, one thing is that you must speak Chinese, and even to a certain extent, master some basic Chinese characters. You can not only speak, but also write and read them simply. Only in this way can you get a better job and get a higher salary.
Different historical developments, different national conditions, and different attitudes and basic points, which are different from later China. At that time, China had a desire for foreign countries. Foreigners came to China to support China. At least on the surface, some foreign experts and even foreign investments did improve China's heritage and allowed China to create a world-renowned miracle after the reform and opening up. However, the price was the rampant foreigners in China and even had some super-national treatment. For these foreigners, China could not force language to demand. Many foreigners who came to China might not be able to learn Chinese well when they left China. They enjoyed treatment that Chinese people had never enjoyed in many aspects of their daily lives.
But in this time and space, it is different. China still experienced humiliation from 1840 to 1908. However, since the rise of the northwest and the founding of the People's Republic of China, the attitudes of Chinese people towards foreigners have changed significantly. China stood up and is a powerful country in the world. Even the positive ones have defeated Russia and the United States. These foreigners are prisoners and spoils.
Since it is a spoil, these prisoners are dependent on China, and China cannot accommodate them. Although at the beginning, when concentrating each prisoner, they were equipped with a certain number of translations according to their nationality and language, when prisoners of war were divided and assigned to various places to work, there was no such good treatment. 90 million prisoners of war, even if one of 10 people translated, it would take 9 million. Many Chinese people know foreign languages and have studied abroad for many years, German and English. However, these people are not used to do this. They have more important work. Most international students are learning knowledge abroad. They cannot devote most of their energy to translation. They need to continue to study in their own fields to contribute to China's science and technology.
Since the number of translations is limited, in most cases, in factories and prisoners of war camps, they are ordered in Chinese. If prisoners of war want to live a better life, they must master Chinese. In addition, the orders from top to bottom are just like inciting workers to learn before. The prisoners of war are treated the same, even higher than those of the former workers.
For example, if you learn 300 Chinese characters, the salary of workers will be improved by one level, and then 450 characters. When you reach 1,200 commonly used Chinese characters, you will at least increase your salary by level 8. This is not a simple number. If you master 1,200 Chinese characters and one who doesn’t know a single word, even at the same level, it is normal for a month to earn 120 yuan less. For many jobs, you can even reach 180-240 employees.
120 yuan may not be a big deal in China's current salary system. It may be that the bonus of an ordinary skilled worker can be placed on their previous income. 60 US dollars. For most people, it will be at least half a year's income. To a certain extent, 120 yuan directly represents the living conditions in China. It is two or three levels away. If you can sell meat, you can buy high-end steaks, precious fish from the deep sea, and even accumulate a little, you can buy some luxury goods, or cars and houses.
China's consumption environment can be spent on as much as possible. The treatment and comfort levels enjoyed by different expenses are completely different. With Chinese examples as role models, simply economic stimulation is enough to make these people study Chinese. Although Chinese is the most difficult in the world, it is not difficult to simply master Chinese characters from the perspective of mastering Chinese characters. An intellectually sound adult may take one or two months to master 300 Chinese characters and 1200 Chinese characters in one or two months, and then gradually strengthening training in the Chinese environment depends on personal talent. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, these foreigners have learned quite well. Most of them can conduct normal daily communication and master standard Chinese characters proficiently.
Under China's strong push, these prisoners of war, children under 7 years old, can not choose schools of their own tribe and be sent to Chinese schools. Compared with schools of their own tribe, they are all spontaneously composed of prisoners of war. These teachers are not professional. China spends a lot of effort to invest in basic education. Chinese education is more professional and learn more knowledge. When these children enter these schools, they only need to master the preliminary Chinese, and then they can learn step by step according to Chinese. Compared with adults, they have better opportunities to access Chinese and are more likely to be assimilated by China. (To be continued.)
