Xingzi and the military family members on the ship looked at the coastline of several kilometers, where countless people gathered waiting to board the ship, and there were cries and screams everywhere. A large number of daredevils with leather whips and sticks patrolled around the crowd, and if they moved a little slower, they would rush up and shout and whip.

Only then did they know how lucky they were to marry a samurai from the Far Eastern Army. The Far Eastern Army took great care of the families of the officers and men, the conditions for food and accommodation were very good, all kinds of supplies were readily available, and there were some middle-aged Japanese women waiting on the road, and the boats they took were also very spacious and clean.

And these Japanese women on the shore could only be squeezed into a sailboat with only a few hundred people, and they couldn't be squeezed into the cabin, so they were all placed on the deck. It's winter, and being on deck is an inhuman ordeal.

The Military Commission has recruited a very large number of women in Japan, which will also greatly alleviate the situation of more men and fewer women in eastern Liaodong. They would be transported to Liaodong to marry immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.

There are also a large number of Japanese craftsmen, who are urgently needed for various positions in the Far East Company. Among them, the enterprises under the Ministry of Industry, shipyards, and the Ministry of Chemical Industry have been expanding their production capacity on a large scale in recent years, and the industrial workers who have basically met their needs have begun to face a huge gap.

Although the company collected more than 1 million displaced people from Daming last year, most of them are still farmers, and if they select personnel from among them and then carry out systematic training, the effect is definitely not as good as the effect of cultivating craftsmen and handicraftsmen.

However, the number of artisans and craftsmen is quite small among the displaced people. Therefore, after the Military Commission conquered Korea and Japan, it wantonly forcibly recruited craftsmen and handicraftsmen in these two places, and transported them all to Liaodong. As an apprentice in various departments, we carry out systematic training.

After the situation in Japan stabilized, the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the Far Eastern Company sent a Japanese working group. On the Japanese islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu, the administrative structures at all levels were redivided, and land was uniformly distributed. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has also sent experts and technicians to promote new and modern rice varieties in Japan, and the yield of rice per mu in Japan will be greatly increased in the future.

However, the actual arable land area in Japan is still low, and the company plans to gradually reduce the population of the Japanese islands in a few years. They gradually migrated to Liaodong, Outer Northeast, Nanyang and India, and developed the agricultural resources of these places on a large scale.

In addition, there will be a large number of young Japanese who will become foreign laborers in the Far East, active in the mines and quarries and kilometer railway construction sites of the Far East Company, engaged in high-intensity labor.

In the future, the population of Japan's islands will be greatly reduced, and it is likely that only about 20% of the original population will remain. There are only farmers needed to cultivate the land on the islands, fishermen working in the fishing along the coast, and miners in the gold and silver mines everywhere. The company will build Japan into an ecological nature reserve. Develop the tourism resources there.

Xingzi and a large number of military dependents of the Far Eastern Army boarded the sailboats parked on the docks on the shore one after another and slowly sailed away from Japan. They lay on the sides of the ship, looking at the slowly shrinking land, and tears flowed involuntarily. They know very well in their hearts that this time away may be a farewell, and they may never come back in this life.

This winter in Liaodong has been extremely busy, with nearly two million Daming refugees flocking here. The Far Eastern Company was under tremendous pressure. With so many people, just eating, drinking, and lazing is a difficult task.

Huge food shortage. For a time, the grain reserves of the Far Eastern Company lit up a red light. Fortunately, the company buys grain in various places through a variety of ways. The first was the largest grain buying fleet in the history of the Far East, led by Zhou Cheng, which bought hundreds of thousands of tons of rice in the Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam. Five 10,000-ton ships and hundreds of sailboats made two trips to transport the rice back to Liaodong.

Manila and Batavia have also increased their food imports and have given considerable concessions to ships carrying grain on various service charges such as customs duties and port terminals. Moreover, the Ministry of Commerce has implemented a strict and strict quota system for all kinds of export commodities that are in demand.

In order to represent or purchase commodities in the Far East, a considerable proportion of food and agricultural products must be included. As a result, a large number of merchant ships from the Arabian Peninsula, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Europe, and the coast of East Africa arrived in Manila and Batavia laden with grain. and various ports in the South Seas.

Because the Far Eastern Company purchased a large amount of grain, the prices of grain and other agricultural products and materials were greatly speculated. But the Far Eastern Company didn't care, and went around to find grain at all costs.

The Korean and Japanese campaigns launched by the Central Military Commission at the end of last year also seized huge quantities of grain and various agricultural products, including grain alone. There are hundreds of thousands of tons, which greatly alleviates the company's food shortage.

After many efforts, the company finally survived the most difficult stage. According to statistics, the grain obtained by various departments last year by various means not only met the grain needs before this year's autumn harvest, but also greatly increased the strategic reserves of the Far East.

Even if more than 2 million displaced people are received from Daming next year, the company's current reserves of food and materials can basically meet the needs. This does not include the company's crop harvest this autumn, if calculated according to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry last year, the grain taxes and loans collected from all parts of Liaodong alone can support it for a considerable period of time.

In addition to food, the nearly 2 million displaced people also need a large number of other materials, including clothes and shoes, as well as houses where the displaced people live for the winter, as well as astronomical amounts of various daily necessities.

Fortunately, the Far Eastern Group has always been wealthy, and the reserve of various materials has been implemented since a few years ago. And with the completion of the subsequent expansion work of various enterprises in the Vladivostok Industrial Zone, the production capacity of enterprises at all levels of the Ministry of Industry has been greatly improved. A large number of displaced people did not experience a shortage of supplies throughout the winter.

Last year, the company received about hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Jeju Island, Luzon, Nanyang and Taiwan, and these areas also raised their own food and various daily necessities. If it weren't for these other parties to help collect the displaced people, the number of displaced people in Liaodong would have exceeded two million, and the final situation would really be difficult to say.

From the mouth of the Liao River to the inland, dense camps have been built on both sides of the Liao River. Nearly 2 million displaced people live in these camps. Now they are undergoing literacy and winter training. (To be continued......)
