589 Immigration Proceedings (II)
Hundreds of migrants were counted and boarded into trucks, which were a little crowded, but practical, and the trucks could transport goods even when they were not transporting migrants. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the affairs were basically completed, Wang Yun smiled and arched his hand towards Liang Chunxing and said, "I'm tired of Lord Liang." ”
Immediately, he took two steps closer and whispered to Liang Chunxing: "Lord Liang, it's still the same, in the account of the Oriental Bank." ”
Liang Chunxing was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Lord Xie, Lord Wang!" ”
Although there are strict controls and punishments for bribery and corruption within the Datang state administrative system, in other countries and regions, Datang officials will still use some means. An official like Liang Chunxing, who is not of much rank but has a very effective role in affairs, is still very useful for the immigration work of the Tang Dynasty at the local end of the Qing Dynasty. With a little extra income, they will be more attentive when recruiting immigrants and working for Datang.
Moreover, when Jiaqing was determined to tighten the policy of immigrants going abroad, Datang was able to use these people to make a fuss, such as modifying the number of immigrants going abroad, and carrying out work such as concealing and lying about it. Although the administration of the Qing Dynasty has become more and more strict, some things such as household registration are still in the hands of the local governments, although the Qing State also has a set of supervision system established by the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, basically the officials of the Qing government will turn a blind eye to it.
Even the imperial court can't provoke the Tang people, so why should they, the little minions below, come and provoke the Tang people's displeasure.
The Datang Immigration Bureau's bribery of local government officials in the Qing immigrants is still relatively secretive, and there is basically no trace. First of all, the money is deposited in Tang-funded banks, which have branches in Shanghai and other places. Branches have even been opened in some Qing provinces, provincial capitals and important cities. Due to Datang's strong financial resources. As well as the convenience of Tang Yuan banknotes and the strong and advanced financial system and operation mode of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, more and more Qing merchants began to trade with Tang-funded banks. Even some merchant states such as Jin merchants and Hui merchants also sent their children to study in the Tang Dynasty, and returned to China under the guidance and shareholding of the Tang people, reorganized the original money bank, and became a commercial bank with the characteristics of modern financial institutions.
The Qing government did not have the ability to check the accounts of Tang-funded banks, and Datang also specially created virtual identity accounts for some Qing officials, so that they could obtain money in another capacity. And nothing can be caught as evidence.
These sums are also money taken out by a series of people, which is actually not a large amount, but they tie up the people in the immigration business of the Qing Dynasty to the ship of Datang.
After Jiaqing and the Qing court could not bear the weakening of the Qing state's national strength due to the outflow of a large number of people, and brought about a series of social problems, these hidden stakes planted by the Tang Dynasty before also reached the time to play a better role. In fact, Datang also has expectations for Jiaqing's approach.
In the Tongguang Pavilion of the Tang Presidential Palace, Bai Nan summoned relevant officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the State Council and the Immigration Bureau for immigration affairs to report on their work.
“…… As we predicted three years ago, the massive exodus of people had made the Qing court increasingly alarmed, although the outflow had resolved some of the country's internal contradictions. But it also brings new contradictions. Under the influence of traditional feudal thinking, the Qing court will inevitably become more and more resistant to obey our immigration policy. It even evolved into a refusal to cooperate with us. ”
Bai Nan nodded and said, "Earlier, Jiaqing probably didn't expect that our ability to immigrate would be so strong, and in a little more than ten years, we have taken more than 10 million people from the Qing Kingdom. It is reasonable to have this panic now, but we have a series of treaties with the Qing State on the issue of immigration, and if the Qing State rashly suspends the immigration treaty, then our country will definitely adopt corresponding punitive measures. ”
There is no doubt that it is too easy for Datang to grasp Qingguo. At that time, there was only one method of military intervention, but now even if you can't afford to use swords, you can't use economic or political means, and the Qing State doesn't have much of a way.
Of course, having said that, if the Qing State really tightens the immigration policy, it will be quite troublesome for Datang to deal with it. Not only do you have to invest effort and money, but migration can be delayed for a period of time. Of course, the population of Datang's native state had exceeded 15 million by the end of 1790, and the reduction in immigration in the short term will not have any impact on the entire national construction and other strategic actions of Datang.
In fact, Datang is also relatively controlling the number of immigrants imported, and the Datang Immigration Bureau has carried out complex statistical operations using multiple variables based on the national economic data, fully considering the development of various regions, and concluded that the number of immigrants imported by Datang should not exceed 1.5 million per year. As the size of the country expands, this number can be further increased, but too much immigration management, development and education are huge problems, and Datang tends to have a model of old immigrants leading new immigrants, which can produce better chemistry and promote the development of newly developed areas.
The officer of the immigration office continued to introduce the immigration strategy after that: "...... Vigorously recruiting the population of the coastal provinces of the Qing Dynasty is still the focus of our work, these areas are still relatively densely populated, the contradiction between man and land is still acute, and after ten years of brewing, most people have a relatively clear understanding of what it is like to emigrate to the sea. We also have a good local foundation and can also get the support of local governments. Further development of immigrants from inland provinces is also the goal of our next work, such as Sichuan, Lianghu, Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places, we have a certain amount of business before, and it is feasible to further increase the number of immigrants. ”
Although there may be some obstacles to the communication of people with different dialect accents, more diverse integration can also inject more vitality and development possibilities into a region, and give birth to new cultural and social forms.
Just like the three states on the west coast of the Tang Dynasty, under the influence of immigrants from different places and travelers, they have gradually formed a new form. Although the source is Chinese civilization, there has been a new collision and development in North America. This integration and development is also a major reason for the creativity and dynamism of the countries of immigration.
