Are Sing Tao's immigration needs important? Important and unimportant.
For the local people in Xingdao, natural population growth alone is far from being able to keep up with development needs. Only the few islands seized through military operations this time require, in addition to the deployment of troops, a certain scale of immigrants to the local areas to realize local development.
The number of immigrants introduced to Xingdao from China is only a few hundred households a year, which is far from enough to even fill these islands.
If the Sing Tao authorities want to achieve rapid expansion, the introduction of a sufficient immigrant population will of course become an extremely important guarantee. In order to maintain stable rule, the proportion of Han people must also be maintained at a certain level, otherwise social unrest will easily occur.
But this demand of Xingdao may not be so important if viewed in the context of Haihan as a whole.
Haihan recruits tens of thousands of immigrants from surrounding countries through various methods every year and moves into various regions under his rule. It's not just Star Island that needs a large population, but every place under Haihan's rule.
Singdao actually has no advantage at all in this competitive situation. In terms of land area and population base, it ranks last among all regions all year round. In terms of economic strength, Singdao’s relatively single industrial structure makes it difficult to compete with other regions; In terms of influence, because it is far away from the mainland and is not a traditional inhabited area of the Han people, domestic attention to it has not been high.
All in all, it is probably better than the newly established North American region not long ago. However, the North American region can no longer be regarded as the Haihan border. It is purely an overseas enclave. The situation is still somewhat different from that of Star Island.
If Xingdao is given special treatment in terms of immigration, Anxi cannot see any benefit from doing so. Instead, it will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.
At least until the executive committee clarifies the direction of the country's development, there is no need to be overly enthusiastic about Sing Tao just yet.
Yu Xiaobao said: "Since the adults have decided to sit back and watch, we don't need to pay too much attention to Xingdao's thoughts. We can just wait for their activity to end."
An Xi said: "This is the truth, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop! Although this Shao Tianhu is a layman, there is no way anyone will make a fuss about him."
Yu Xiaobao said in surprise: "But when I talked with him just now, I didn't think there was anything outstanding about him. It was just that his conversation was relatively calm."
Anxi said: "His ability may not be very strong, but the interested parties he represents may not only be Xingdao... This is why I asked you to pay more attention to Xingdao these days and report the situation to me in a timely manner. .”
Yu Xiaobao didn't quite understand what his boss meant, so he immediately asked: "Sir, do you mean that there are others behind him?"
Anxi shook his head slightly and said: "The person I support is not him, but Xingdao, do you understand?"
Yu Xiaobao suddenly said: "I see... I just don't know what conditions Xingdao used in exchange for such support."
Anxi smiled and said: "What other conditions can there be? It's just a dispute about the direction of development. Although Xingdao's influence is limited, as one of the overseas regions, it also has a say in major national decisions. At the critical moment, Xingdao is One vote may also be very important.”
Yu Xiaobao said: "But which side will Xingdao stand on? Isn't this a bright card? How can it be used as an exchange condition?" Anxi patiently explained: "It is precisely because Xingdao has a clear attitude that he can attract Partners. This kind of cooperation is not necessarily based on some exchange conditions, it may just be the same interests.”
"During this period of time in Xingdao, there were first battlefield victory reports, and then there were publicity activities. It happened to be a time when the momentum was strong. The newly appointed head of the office is very motivated. Of course, there will be people willing to give him a push from behind."
When it comes to the power struggle among Haihan's senior officials, this is not something Yu Xiaobao can discuss due to his status. He wisely agreed to end the topic and resigned to Anxi.
However, An Xi was not ready to put this matter aside. After Yu Xiaobao left, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed a certain number, and informed the other party about Shao Tianhu's visit to the Immigration Department.
As An Xi said, of course, a small figure like Shao Tianhu cannot influence the domestic political situation. At most, he can be regarded as a pawn on the chessboard.
And this chess piece may not have a clear understanding of the role it plays, nor does it know that its words and deeds are receiving the attention of some big shots.
Before the third round of the lottery held by Xingdao, the Haihan Times published an opinion article on the front page titled "In addition to land, what else can Xingdao bring to us?"
There is no doubt that the subject of this article is of course the large-scale lottery held recently in Sanya.
The article believes that the lottery has successfully aroused public attention on the development of Sing Tao, so it is necessary for the public to understand what Sing Tao can provide the country and what kind of support it needs.
Similar articles have actually been published before, but this article describes the content in more detail. Starting from the construction history of Xingdao, we listed various local industries with good operating conditions and their future development prospects.
The article puts forward a brand-new point of view, that is, the location of Xingdao is exactly the geographical key point connecting the east-west sea lanes, and it is destined to play the role of a bridgehead for the westward expansion of Haihan territory. To achieve this, Xingdao had to give up the development of traditional industries and focus on military construction.
In the future, Hai Han will need to move a large number of people into the territory west of Malacca in order to maintain his rule. However, the mission of these people to move overseas is not to cultivate farmland or mine mines locally, but to serve as rulers. The organization directs local indigenous people to complete these construction projects.
Yes, that’s right. This article very boldly calls the immigrants who moved to Star Island “future colonial rulers” and describes a pretty good vision – in those distant new colonies, every Haihan person will There are opportunities to become operators of farms, mines, ports, or powerful local officials.
Due to manpower shortage, a large number of official positions are vacant. What they can get is far more than just dozens of acres of land dropped from the sky through lottery, but a shortcut to becoming a superior person and an opportunity to break through the class.
The article even takes the experience of Shao Tianhu, the newly appointed head of the Singdao office in Sanya, as an example to describe how a child from an ordinary family who immigrated to Singdao with his family grew up to be an official with both civil and military skills and the ability to act alone in just a few years. .
“When you go to Xingdao, no matter which path you choose, you will get more and better development opportunities than at home.”
