Chapter 914: The Spring of 1640

In the spring of 1640, all the areas controlled by the Far Eastern Company, including Liaodong, Outer Northeast, Japan, Korea, Luzon, Taiwan, Nanyang Islands, Ceylon, India, Hetao and other regions, began to work intensively and hecticly in spring ploughing

The Far Eastern Company has experienced the most difficult period in the past two years, and last year the entire Liaodong and Outer Northeast regions also suffered serious natural disasters. As a result, the Far East attaches great importance to spring plowing work in various places every year.

If it weren't for the Indian campaign launched by the Military Commission, a large amount of grain and other materials were seized in the rich Indian subcontinent, and the company would have to continue to live on its stomach.

The Far East now has a big business, and the immigrant population is as many as several million, and the annual food demand is definitely an astronomical amount, so agricultural work has become the company's top priority at present. If even a few million people cannot be fed, then there is no way to talk about what the Far East will do in the future.

This year, the company will gather more than one million Ming displaced people in eastern Liaodong, all of whom will be resettled in the northeast and outer northeast regions, and will still be resettled near the railways and waterways.

The company's resettlement work last year was chaotic and encountered a lot of problems, but it also learned a lot of lessons. This year, the resettlement of displaced people has been much better, with tacit cooperation among various departments, smooth and orderly work in all links, and adequate preparations.

Although the number of people is still so large, this year's resettlement work has been very smooth, and there is basically no chaotic situation like last year. Before the spring ploughing, the newly resettled homeless camps in various places were in place in advance, and the spring ploughing work could be carried out smoothly.

In order to cope with the threat of dry weather, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry began to organize displaced people and a large number of foreign laborers to build various farmland and water conservancy facilities in eastern Liaoning, northeast China, and outer northeast China last autumn. A large number of steam-powered pumping units have also been added, which has effectively guaranteed this year's water conservancy and irrigation.

After several months of hard work by the company's agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and infrastructure departments, a perfect water diversion and irrigation network has finally been established in Liaodong, Northeast China, and Outer Northeast China, relying on several major rivers.

Busy with spring ploughing work. The Far East will once again welcome this year's work to receive displaced people.

Because Liaodong, Northeast China and Outer Northeast China may be affected by the extreme weather during the Xiaoice River period in recent years, the company will moderately reduce the number of immigrants this year to about 1.5 million.

The situation in the Nanyang Islands is much better. After years of efforts by the company's agriculture and forestry department, these areas have basically achieved the level of three harvests a year. In recent years, thanks to the continuous efforts of the Foreign Affairs Secret Service of the Ministry of Intelligence, the area under the actual control of the company in the Nanyang Islands has been increasing year by year.

This year, the number of displaced people will be much higher than in the past in the Far East control areas of the Nanyang Islands, and the number of displaced people is expected to exceed 500,000. However, the resettlement of displaced people is extremely scattered, and it is difficult to resettle.

Luzon has been developing relatively fast, but because there are too many indigenous people on the island. The Ministry of Intelligence has been trying to deal with the large number of natives on the island for several years. By transporting them to construction sites and mines in eastern Liaodong and the Outer Northeast by various means, or to mines and farms in the Nanyang Islands, Luzon will receive more than 300,000 Ming refugees this year.

The Indian subcontinent will be an important food production base for the company in the future. Starting from this year, the company will gradually increase the intensity of immigration to India, and strive to immigrate more than 500,000 this year, and will increase year by year in the future.

Although the Loop area is affected by unfavorable factors such as climate, it is important because of its location. There is also considerable potential for the development of agriculture. This year's target for immigrants will be more than 300,000. Several base areas in the Ming Dynasty controlled by the Hetao will also receive more than 300,000 displaced people this year.

In addition to the above-mentioned large households receiving displaced people. The rest of the Far East has also seen a significant increase in the number of displaced people compared to last year. Among them, there are 100,000 on the island of Taiwan, 20,000 on the island of Ryukyus, 20,000 in the Siam Concession, 100,000 in Japan, 150,000 in North Korea, and 50,000 on Jeju Island.

Although the company has made great efforts to receive displaced people this year, it still has no problem receiving more than 3 million displaced people with the help of grain and other materials seized in India and the harvest made in the autumn harvest of various controlled areas in the Far East.

Since last year, the Far Eastern Group has successively developed agricultural resources in Northeast China, Outer Northeast China, India, Hetao, Nanyang, and Luzon Island, and has reclaimed a large amount of cultivated land in these areas. Millions of displaced people have been placed in these areas to farm.

If the weather in various parts of the Far East this year is favorable and the grain harvest is good, the food crisis that the Far East once faced will also be completely resolved. The days of food shortages in the Far East are gone.

As long as the Far Eastern Company solves the food problem, the bottleneck of the company's next development will be completely broken. The Far East will also break free from the shackles, enter the fast lane of development, and usher in a blowout development.

The Military Commission will completely unleash its hands and feet, launch a plan to expand westward and plan northward, and sweep across the Eurasian continent. Launched the Indochina Campaign to completely conquer the Indochina Peninsula countries such as Annam, Chenla, Siam and Burma.

Advance colonization teams will also be sent to New Guinea, New Zealand, Australia, North America and other places to establish colonies, in preparation for the company's future expansion and global colonization.

All departments of the Nationalities Affairs Committee will also take advantage of this period of rapid development to step up construction in various control areas in the Far East and strive to carry out all the work of the company in the shortest possible time. It is also necessary to immigrate to the Nanyang Islands and the Indian subcontinent on a large scale, so as to completely integrate these areas into the arms of the Chinese nation.

When the Far Eastern Company came to this era, the most important task was to become the owner of the Central Plains. For this purpose, the Far Eastern Company has been preparing for ten years, but it is not simply to occupy territory, but to break all the bottles and cans and build a new world.

Now the company has established seven bases in the north of Daming, and after overcoming the difficult period in the early stage of the construction of the base, the current development is good. Not only have they established a sound grass-roots management organization in the base areas, but they have also set up their own armed forces in the base areas.

Starting this year, the company will continue to establish a number of bases in various parts of the northern Ming Dynasty to vigorously collect displaced people. Actively prepare for the company's future ownership of Zhongyuan. Although the Far Eastern Company hopes that there will be a certain amount of chaos in Daming, it does not want Daming to lose its basic social order and cause a situation that is out of control.
