Chapter 168 Million Immigration Plan

After formulating the Hulunbuir development plan, Ma Liuzhou immediately sent his son Ma Zhongyi to the Guannei and all parts of the Northeast to promote the people-friendly policy of the Hulunbuir immigration to the Eleven Banner. The government was responsible for resettlement and also gave resettlement fees. The more people there were, the more land there were, and the more immigrants the family, the more settlement fees they gave.

In the plan, it seems that even if immigrants are recruited, few tens of thousands of people will come to Hulunbuir. This is East Mongolia, the border, the Russians on the back, the Outer Mongolian Tatars on the west, and the Korqin on the south. It can be said that this is a place that military strategists must fight for, and a place that is bitter and cold in the extreme north. Two hundred years ago, even the Ningguta (now Mudanjiang City) was not as good as those who could not get through. Except for those who could not get through, there were really few people who could come. However, Ma Liuzhou seemed to underestimate the people's attitude towards this era.

With the desire for land, land annexation within the pass was serious, warlords were divided, new and old taxes were superimposed, the Qing Dynasty in the previous dynasty had to be retained and continued to pay taxes. In the Republic of China, the tax issued by the government of the Republic of China had to be paid, and the local military commander and commander of the commander of the commander of the local military commander had to be paid. For example, within the boundaries of Shandong Province, the Japanese killed people everywhere after invasion, and the bandits robbed, and the government did not act. Whether it was the Democratic Party government or the Beiyang government, they were fighting for power and profit, and they were not concerned about the lives of the people.

Therefore, the New Hulunbuir immigration announcement was published in major newspapers for one day, and someone took the train to immigrate to Hulunbuir. For nothing else, he was exempted from food tax and settlement fees for those three years.

The establishment of the settlement fee was also won by Ma Liuzhou. The middle-aged man was three yuan, the elderly were one yuan, and the elderly were two yuan. Wang Maoru said that I would go bankrupt if there were more. Then Ma Liuzhou asked on the train how many immigrants I needed to place in Hulunbuir Eleven Banner. Wang Maoru said that the more immigrants, the better. The more the better, it is best to immigrate millions.

Ma Liuzhou covered his head and smiled bitterly, "Master, do you know how many people in the entire Heilongjiang Province?" Wang Maorulian said he didn't know, Ma Liuzhou smiled bitterly, the entire Heilongjiang Province only had 420,000 people. This is not the count of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. This is the population census under the presidency of the Heilongjiang Provincial Civil Affairs Envoy at the beginning of this year (1915). Even if there are missing from the mountains, there will be no more than two to fifty million people.

Wang Maoru calculated that his territory was only 180,000 people. There were only a few people. If he was not as large as a county in Shandong, his guards would be too cowardly. He said, "Three million, this is my requirement. I don't ask you to immigrate to three million in the first year. For ten years, what about the population of three million Hulunbuir in ten years? If there were three million Han people immigrating to Hulunbuir, the northern border will be stable from then on. With a wave of my hand, I recruited 300,000 soldiers. What about?"

"Since ancient times, the ratio of civilians to soldiers has been just 80 to 1. In wartime, it was only fifty to one. You can't afford to recruit soldiers 10 to 1. You can't afford to support them. Wang Maoru heard that this was the case, and carefully considered it, it would be better to immigrate to five million. Recruiting 100,000 soldiers, that's fine. Ma Liuzhou persuaded that if he really immigrated to Hulunbuir, the food produced here would not be enough. Wang Maoru said that he could plant food with a short growth cycle and a high yield here.

.As for seeds, the government is responsible for purchasing them and is distributed to everyone for free. He said that he had prepared one million oceans to resettle immigrants. Ma Liuzhou was shocked. One million oceans, the guards made the adults so rich? One million could form four infantry brigades. It seemed that the commander really wanted to immigrate and stabilize the border defense. He admired him very much and said, "So many oceans are naturally enough. The general Wang's wealth is so abundant and willing to give to the civil affairs is really admirable."

Wang Maoru shook his head, one million oceans, if all immigrants were resettled, it would only be able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but it would cost carefully, and said: "Millions of oceans cannot be spent too quickly. You should try to calculate the flowers more carefully. I don't have civil affairs talents under my command, so Mr. Ma has filtered it out. By the way, isn't it cost to buy land here?"

Ma Liuzhou laughed and said, "It really takes a lot of money to buy land in Guanli, but in Hulunbuir and Xibutha, there are thousands of miles of uninhabited land here, and there are too many borderless lands. Once your guardian's seal is released, how much land is yours." After speaking, he took a sip of tea, Ma Liuzhou said, "After Emperor Nurhaci entered the pass, the meritorious children who stayed outside the pass ran to grab land, and some people had hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Except for the Russians who built railways to occupy the land, the rest were the ranch of the Mongolian princes and the land of the Manchu bannermen, and some borderless land."

"Okay! OK! OK!" Wang Maoru was very happy and said, "Now I am the Hulunbuir Guardian, aren't all the lands left by mine?"

"This is true. The Grand Marshal wants to be the biggest landlord?" Ma Liuzhou asked with a wry smile.

"Yes, I am the biggest landlord." Wang Maoru slapped his thigh and said, "All refugees are my tenant farmers. Mr. Ma, what do you think? On my land, I don't have a penny for the first three years, and then 10% of the land rent will be used as grain tax. Haha, a good idea. If you don't say it, I really didn't expect that since the land is mine, why bother to be restricted by other gentry? Others can't impeach me. Okay, okay, that's it."

Ma Liuzhou opposed: "I guess you can find many tenant farmers like you. Hulunbuir Xibrent and Brent are located in a severe cold place. Although the land is fertile, the winter is long. After half a year, the land is poor. Even if your land rent is so low, I am afraid you won't be able to charge much."

Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "No, I don't expect to make money with it. What I expect is someone who follows me. Those who follow me will have land, field planting, food, drink and clothing. The hearts of the people are the key, people's hearts! People's hearts! What do Chinese people need? Chinese people only need a bite of food, a mu of land, a tile house, and a stable environment. These things cannot be given by others, I can give them! Mr. Lun, you won't think that I will only be the lord of the 11th Banner of Hulunbuir."

Ma Liuzhou said: "Master...you...have a big appetite."

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Mr. Lun, Mencius said: When heaven is about to give a great responsibility, people must first suffer their minds and minds, tired their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and act and chaotic what they do. Therefore, they are moved and endured, and have improved their difficulties. People can always make mistakes and then do things. They can confuse their minds and concerns before doing things, and then they are confronted by their colors and sounds before they are metaphors. When they enter, they cannot defeat their families, and when they leave, they are invincible and foreign patients, and the country will perish. Then they know that they are born in distress and die in peace and happiness." The two looked at each other and laughed.

After arriving in Hulun City, the Civil Affairs Office of Hulunbuir Military Government headed by Ma Liuzhou was officially established. Although there were not many talents and there was not even an office location, the group of people brought by Ma Liuzhou also relieved Wang Maoru. With the response of Ma Liuzhou, many young people came here to serve as officials.

Of course, Hulunbuir's most attractive are those refugees. After all, they are exempt from food tax for three years, and only 10% will be charged after three years and will never increase taxes. This is a good thing that you have nowhere to look for when you are lanterns.

At this time, affected by the increase in Japan's troops in Fengtian and Shandong, the situation inside and outside the control group became increasingly tense. Among them, Shandong suffered heavy losses and Shandong fled the most. The Japanese pursued the fact that as long as one Chinese dared to attack the Japanese (or soldiers), the whole village would be killed. They created many bloody cases in Shandong. Under the pressure of the Japanese, the Beiyang government had to calm down. This move made many Chinese people lose their confidence in the Beiyang government. More people could only be forced to leave their hometowns and go to foreign lands. Because Shandong people have the habit of going to Guandong, the Chinese are also social animals, and most of the people who come to the Northeast are Shandong people.

The Japanese also created many frictions in Fengtian and Jilin provinces, trying to test the bottom line of the Beiyang government, which caused many Chinese people to be dissatisfied, but the Japanese were not as rampant in Fengtian and Jilin as in Shandong.

With the publicity and help of the people sent by Ma Zhongyi, these Shandong people from Guandong, Hebei people and Henan people took the free train all the way from Shanhaiguan, Tianjin, Dezhou, Jinan, Chenyang and Changchun. The whole family and the young took the canned train to Hulunbuir with big cakes and steamed buns to Hulunbuir. After Hailar Station, these refugees were driven off the train by Russians like piglets.

After resting for a day, Wang Maoru and his guards and cavalry guards began to patrol his territory. He could not know how many wives he had, how many soldiers he had, or how big the territory he had. Now Wang Maoru's wife has two temporarily, with 8,000 soldiers (4,500 registered with the Beiyang Government Army Department), but he only knew that he had 320,000 square kilometers of territory, but he really didn't know what the 320,000 square kilometers of territory was. He rode a war horse and led his officers to patrol. In order to prevent him from encountering danger, the headquarters took great pains to prevent Long Qing's cavalry from being sent out to protect him.

Going northward, almost deserted, Wang Maoru asked: "Is this our territory?"

"Yes, Grandmaster."

Wang Maoru was helpless. After walking for a day, he couldn't see a figure. It was all meadows. If it weren't for the fact that the northeast had just bloomed in spring and the weeds had not grown tall, he would probably have only shown his head even if he rode a horse. He asked his subordinates where it was. Ren Yuanxing took out the Hulunbuir map exchanged for Maeda and said, "Master, this is the Ercona Right Banner."

"Help you make sure this is really our territory?"

"yes."

"Uncle, it's so big." Wang Maoru sighed, "No wonder, no wonder. After walking here from Hulun, I rode a horse for five days, but I didn't even finish it."

"So the commander has established a great masterpiece for all eternity." The person next to him flattered.

Wang Maoru shook his head and said to himself that there is nothing compared to Xu Shuzheng's acquisition of Outer Mongolia. Let's talk about it when I acquisition of Outer Mongolia.

The army continued to head north and arrived at Qigan before giving up. Qigan is the largest town in Erkona Right Banner. It is leaning against the east bank of Erkona River, opposite the territory of Russia. Most of them are Oroqen fishermen, and they still have their Qing Dynasty braids and they have not cut them off. When they saw a group of men in black, they realized that the Republic of China had revived this place. There were only more than 400 households in this town, just a larger natural village. Even if these more than 400 households and more than 1,500 people, it is already the largest town in the north. (To be continued...)
