Chapter 408: Immigration

What you say is not unreasonable. After listening to someone's persuasion, Ji Mengying became happy, "Anyway, Sister Xiao Su and I have already slept in the same bed, and we really don't have to care if we get a certificate or not." ”

"Fourth sister, you are already a god, and there are countless prayers of believers that need to be answered. Ji Qingsu said solemnly, "Please don't put your mind on the wind and snow." ”

"Well, I will take my priesthood seriously and be worthy of those incense. Ji Mengying suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, what is the specific number of the so-called my immeasurable followers?"

"Do you want to ask about the population?" Ji Aojian said casually, "The current population of California is probably only one or two million in total." ”

Ji Mengying was shocked, "Why is it so good? I was converted so easily, isn't it very cost-effective." ”

"Fourth sister, you don't have to focus only on California. Ji Qingsu persuaded, "The land of North America, and even the entire Americas in the future, will be the potential market for your faith." ”

"Well, that's not bad. ”

"There weren't many of them either. Ji Aojian continued quietly, "Not only California, but also North and South America are also vast and sparsely populated, for example, among the three countries of the United States, Mexico and Canada in North America, the United States, which has the largest population, is more than 10 million people. ”

Ji Mengying groaned, "These countries are not as large as the population of my Chinese province." ”

"Yes, the total population of the Americas is less than 50 million, and China has 45,000,000 people, which is 10 times the population of the Americas. ”

Ji Qingsu said, "Since we have 450,000 compatriots. As long as a fraction of the 50 million people immigrate, it is the population of the entire Americas, and the fourth sister has an infinite number of followers. ”

"That's a great idea. Ji Mengying was overjoyed. "As long as 50 million people believe in me, I can claim to be a billion believers, which sounds a bit immeasurable. ”

Ji Aojian coughed and asked, "Why has your claim increased so much?"

"This is a tradition since ancient times, Prime Minister Cao Cheng took 830,000 horses south. That's what it claims. ”

"Don't think about it so beautifully, even if it's a claim, how can you make 50 million people in China want to emigrate?"

"It's up to the seventh sister and the eighth sister to work hard!" Ji Mengying said seriously. "As long as the two of them dismantle the small-scale peasant economy and bring out 50 million bankrupt peasants, won't there be an immigrant population?"

Ji Aojian snorted, "Then it must be very fierce and cruel to exploit and suppress the most basic agricultural products." ”

"In this way, raw capital can be accumulated. It can also create unemployment. It's the best of both worlds. Ji Mengying said casually, "Even if the seventh sister and the eighth sister don't do it, wait for others to do it, maybe even cruelty will not be obtained, but a bloodier primitive capital accumulation." ”

Ji Qingsu suddenly said, "I remember, a few Zhuangzi near our Qingtian Mountain Villa were forced to go bankrupt by the Eighth Sister, and Hall Master Shen and they had no choice but to immigrate." ”

"This kind of behavior. In fact, it should be called industrial and agricultural scissors poor. Ji Mengying said triumphantly, "The times are advancing. Civilization is developing, and since the peasants can't do it anymore, let's immigrate to become industrial workers. ”

"Do you also know that the scissors are bad?" Ji Aojian was surprised, "However, even if the seventh and eighth sisters get 50 million bankrupt people, not many of these people are willing to come to the Americas." ”

Ji Qingsu asked, "Why aren't there many people coming to the Americas?"

"Bankrupt farmers in China, leaving their hometowns to make a living, whether they go outside the customs or to Nanyang, it is closer and more convenient, why should they choose the Americas thousands of miles away?"

"That's right. Ji Qingsu thought for a while, "Brother, you are the head of the family, you come to talk to the sisters in China, and ask them to support the immigration to the Americas, so that the fourth sister can have more believers." ”

"This guy is always bullying me. Ji Aojian snorted coldly, "Why should I help her?"

Ji Mengying glanced at him in surprise, "I didn't expect it, it turns out that you have also learned to be tsundere." ”

"Aren't the more than 500 great vows behind this all drawn up by you, brother?" my sister took out the "Menghua Bodhisattva Original Wish Merit Sutra" from her body, "I remember that one of them is that if I wish, if the number of believers in the Americas cannot exceed 100,000, they will not return to enlightenment. So, brother, you have an obligation to increase the population of the Americas!"

"This is her great wish, why has it become my obligation?"

"Because, if brother, you drafted these big wishes but didn't come true, aren't you deliberately cheating the fourth sister?"

"I'm just trying to claim to be a billion believers, and you actually wrote a billion vows. Ji Mengying smiled and groaned, "Young man, if I can't achieve the right result, your sin will be great." ”

"Okay, I'll ask my sister in China to help me immigrate. Ji Aojian sighed, "I hope they can get a third of the bankrupt farmers to come over." ”

"Is it only a third?" Ji Mengying looked at him contemptuously, "Your family master is really useless." ”

"Immigrants are a precious resource, and the Northeast also needs them, and the South Seas also need them, and it would be nice to have a third of them. Ji Aojian snorted, "Do you think you can eat alone casually?"

"A third is enough. "In this way, nearly 20 million people have come to California, which is enough to compete with the United States in terms of population, complete industrialization, and become a world power." ”

"Even a third is the ideal scenario. Ji Ao Kendao, "To convince so many people to choose the most distant way of immigration, it is a very difficult thing for the sisters in the country. So, if we want them to help with the immigration work here, we also need to give them some benefits. ”

"Do you still want to give benefits?" Ji Mengying said in surprise, "Could it be that the brotherhood of our family has been weakened to this extent?"

"Brotherhood, can it be eaten?" Ji Aojian looked disdainful, "Only an exchange based on interests is the strongest cooperation." ”

"Tell me, then, what benefits do you need to give?"

"Since we have a gold mine here, we should buy labor from China. Trade directly with them with money. ”

Ji Qingsu asked, "In the American market, what is the price of labor now?"

"Approximately. £25 for blacks, £10 for Indians, £10 for white indentured slaves, and £5 for Chinese. ”

"Why are blacks so expensive and Chinese so cheap?"

"Because blacks are slaves, they don't get paid. The Chinese came to work and received wages. ”

"Oh. Ji Qingsu nodded. "Shall we buy labour from our sisters in China for £5 per person?"

"It should be traded at £10 per person. ”

Ji Aojian explained, "That's it. The sisters were able to allocate a portion of the £10 proceeds to the labourers to attract immigrants to come to the Americas. ”

"Well, if we want to immigrate 10 million from the country, we have to prepare a budget of 10,000 pounds. Ji Qingsu said. "It's a lot of financial pressure. ”

"So. The resettlement project has to be a long-term project of ten years or even decades before it can be financially viable. Ji Aojian went on to point out, "And with the current capacity, it is impossible to transport tens of millions of people a year." ”

Ji Qingsu nodded, "As long as California has an additional 10 million immigrants in ten years, this region will be very prosperous." ”

"If we had bought 10 million workers, there would have been more than 10 million immigrants. ”

"Why is that?"

"Labor simply means 'a person who is able to work.' If these immigrants bring their wives and children with them, the population will increase dramatically. ”

Ji Qingsu thought for a moment. Happily said, "That's true." ”

"In addition to that, we have two ways to increase the population here. ”

"What's the solution?"

"We have a gold rush here, and we're attracting a lot of outsiders. "When the projects and factories in Dream City are fully started, we can often go to the mining area to post recruitment advertisements." There are some people who are disillusioned with gold digging and have become homeless, so they are naturally willing to find a safe and secure job. ”

"That's a good idea, but what about another way?"

"These are the Indians of the Americas. Ji Aojian sighed, "Originally, there were more than 50 million Indians, but today, this number is less than a percent. ”

Ji Qingsu said in surprise, "How can there be such a small population left?"

"It's all done by white people!" Ji Aojian looked sad, "Actually, Indians are very warm and kind people, do you know that there is a Thanksgiving in the United States?"

"What kind of holiday is that?"

"This is when immigrants from the United States first came to the Americas, and it happened to be winter. The Indians brought the necessities of life to the hungry and cold, and taught them how to hunt, fish, and grow corn and pumpkins. Those immigrants celebrated Thanksgiving Day to commemorate the help of the Indians. ”

"That sounds like a heartwarming story. ”

Later, however, the Americans continued to exterminate these benefactors and rob them of their land. "At the same time, Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving every year, don't you think it's ironic?"

"It's ironic indeed. Ji Qingsu sighed, "Fortunately, the fourth sister is gathering all the Indians, and in the land of California, they will no longer be persecuted." ”

"It's not enough to be free from persecution, we have a responsibility to get justice for the Indians. ”

"How can we get justice for the Indians?" Ji Qingsu said, "Is it that the fourth sister is calling on everyone to take revenge on the white people in her teachings?"

Ji Aojian shook his head, "If the Indians take the initiative to take revenge on the whites of the firearms age, they will only be extinct faster, and we have to use a more civilized way." ”

"What civilized way?"

"First of all, we need to build an Indian Holocaust Memorial to collect and display information and evidence of the persecution and massacre of Indians. ”

"This is a good solution, is there anything else?"

"Second, we are going to establish a legal Indian memorial day. This time is set on the fourth Sunday of November every year. ”

Ji Qingsu thought for a while, and suddenly realized something, "Isn't this the same day as the American Thanksgiving?"

"It's going to be the same day. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "On that day, the Americans commemorated the Indians' help to them, and we commemorated the Americans' massacre of the Indians, with such a strong contrast, is it more shocking and can expose their ugly and hypocritical true colors?"

"Brother, your method is really amazing. Ji Qingsu said with admiration, "This is a strong moral blow." ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "Although there are less than ten percent of the Indians left, there are still millions of people. ”

"So in this way, we in California are uniting the faith of the Indians, and we are claiming historical justice for them. Ji Qingsu said, "This will become a sacred place in the hearts of all American Indians, and they will definitely be willing to immigrate here." ”

"Actually, this is also to help realize a big wish by the way. Ji Aojian muttered, "These great wishes have actually become my obligations, it's really troublesome." ”

Ji Qingsu listened, opened the "Menghua Bodhisattva Original Wish Merit Sutra", and saw Article 372: If I wish, if the Indians can't get back to historical justice, they won't return to enlightenment. (To be continued......)
