Chapter 2632

"It turns out that our country has recruited so many immigrants from North Korea and Japan!" Bai Letong couldn't help but sigh after hearing the statements of these two officials. Of course, this was only because he rarely had access to this information.

For example, Tao Hongfang and Ning Zijing knew some of the status of immigration affairs due to their work relationships, so they were not so surprised by this.

Zhu Zian was silently calculating in his mind. If this was used as a base, then the number of immigrants Haihan had introduced from these two countries over the years should have been in the tens of thousands. Having introduced so many foreigners, Haihan did not know how

How to arrange them? If the arrangement is not appropriate, it can easily harm the interests of the people of the country.

Yang Yun interjected: "Mr. Bai doesn't know. In the early years, due to the huge demand for labor, our country had to continuously introduce immigrants from various countries. Japan and Korea share the same culture with the Han Dynasty, and their races are similar, so after opening up sea routes,

, has been recruiting immigrants from these two countries. However, in recent years, the domestic situation in these two countries has become more stable, and our country’s population growth rate has been able to meet its own development needs, so the number of immigrants introduced from North Korea and Japan has also been

It is decreasing year by year. Nowadays, you basically have to submit an immigration application to the Foreign Affairs Office first, and then we will give the qualified candidates the opportunity to naturalize.”

When Zhu Zian heard this, his heart moved again. Why the population growth rate of Haihan has accelerated? This should also be related to the Ming Dynasty. Thinking that Haihan only occupied some remote places along the South China Sea and had a small population, it naturally required a large-scale expansion.

Introducing immigrants, but as Haihan's external expansion accelerated, more and more areas of the Ming Dynasty came under its control. Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone had a population of more than one million. Haihan had enough Han people to use, so how about recruiting immigrants from other countries?

The demand will naturally be reduced.

Xiunian and Yin Changxing continued to introduce the work content of the Foreign Affairs Office. Although the scale of foreign immigrants introduced to Haihan has slowed down, in fact, the number of people who took the initiative to come to Zhoushan Island from North Korea and Japan has not decreased significantly in recent years, and they are engaged in cross-border trade.

The number of businessmen and scholars who come to study has even increased compared with previous years, so their work has not become easier, and they still have to deal with many foreign-related affairs every day.

Yang Yun asked the two of them to step aside, and then continued: "Perhaps you have noticed that there are many shops opened by merchants from North Korea and Japan on the island. These people are based in Zhoushan. Although they are not naturalized, they are actually the same as our nationals.

."

Tao Hongfang showed his database at the right time: "According to the data we have, about 40% of the trade between North Korea and my country is completed through Zhoushan, while the proportion of Japan is even higher, about Accounting for 70%. Although Zhoushan is not the origin of most commodities, its unparalleled geographical advantages, coupled with complete infrastructure and institutional guarantees, have made it the largest trade center in the East China Sea region."

Bai Letong said: "Why is North Korea's ratio so much lower?"

Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "Letong, you have forgotten that North Korea is divided into north and south, and their trading channels with our country are not limited to Zhoushan."

Bai Letong suddenly realized, "I've actually forgotten about this!"

With the existence of Zhoushan as a trade hub, almost all Hainan products sold overseas can be found in the market here. Businessmen from Japan and Korea no longer have to travel all the way south to Hainan Island to purchase.

The impact of the North-South division of North Korea is reflected in all aspects, and trade is no exception. The areas with more developed maritime trade in North Korea are concentrated in Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do in the south, and these areas are relatively close to Zhoushan.

Zhoushan is naturally the first choice as the destination.

As for the northern part of Korea, governed by Li Hao, the king of Fenglin, it has long been attached to the Haihan Northern Region. Naturally, the main objects of trade are the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, so it also accounts for a considerable part of the trade between the two countries.

Japan does not have so many choices. Zhoushan Dinghai Port is the nearest Haihan port. The prices of the goods shipped to Japan by Haihan merchants will inevitably be much higher than those in the mainland, so in order to get lower prices

With the purchasing price low, many Japanese businessmen are more willing to take the initiative to cross the sea and come to Zhoushan to purchase. This is the main reason why the trade volume completed in Zhoushan accounts for 70% of the trade volume between the two countries.

Zhu Zian asked curiously: "Mr. Yang, how are the immigrants introduced from North Korea and Japan over the years resettled? It is impossible for them all to settle on Zhoushan Island, right?"

Yang Yun knew Zhu Zian's identity and didn't pay attention to his question. He patiently explained: "Zhoushan Island has limited space, so of course it cannot accommodate them all. Most of the immigrants introduced from North Korea and Japan are poor people, and they only hope that they can

They came to our country to find a way out, so as long as we can provide them with a stable living environment, most of them don't care where they go."

"According to my country's immigration plan, most of them were arranged to go to Taiwan Island. The land area there is more than 70 times that of Zhoushan. It is vast and sparsely populated. There are large areas of coastal plains that can be reclaimed. The land allocated to immigrants is The cultivated land area is enough for them to live a stable life. As long as they stay there for a certain number of years and make no mistakes, they can be naturalized smoothly."

After listening to Yang Yun's explanation, Zhu Zian felt that this arrangement was the most reasonable. If these immigrants were sent to Hainan Island, or to the former Ming Dynasty area, land would have to be set aside to resettle them, which would inevitably lead to conflicts with local residents.

A conflict of interest arises. He has no exact understanding of Taiwan Island, which is limited to some book records he has read in the past. However, Yang Yun's explanation is very intuitive. Since it is more than 70 times the size of Zhoushan Island, it can at least accommodate it.

Hundreds of thousands of people live there. Only an environment like Taiwan Island can easily accommodate so many foreign immigrants.

Zhu Zian said: "I have another question. Over the years, immigrants have been openly recruited from North Korea and Japan. Have these two countries always turned a blind eye to this and allowed their populations to lose?"

Before Yang Yun could speak, Ha Jianyi rushed to answer: "Why ask this kind of question again? They are pretending to be deaf and dumb. It's not that they don't know the disadvantages of population loss, it's just that they are powerless to stop it. Just like in the early years of our country,

The Ming Dynasty introduced a large-scale population, and the local officials of the Ming Dynasty could only pretend to be ignorant to avoid triggering armed conflicts, which would make the situation even more difficult to deal with."

Zhu Zian was stunned, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He should have thought that the biggest source of immigrants to Haihan was the Ming Dynasty. Asking such a question was really a bit self-defeating. However, Tao Hongfang and others simply did not

Although he didn't care, he had no reaction after hearing what Ha Jianyi said, but this made Zhu Zian a little disappointed, because it was obviously because they all took this situation for granted, and Daming was just a weakling in front of Haihan.
