Although Ling Yang didn't understand, he still decided to invest more resources in this area.
After all, Lin Hai’s original words at the time were: Do it whether you understand it or not.
Okay, let's do it.
As for why Lin Hai was looking for these things, Ling Yang didn't ask and Lin Hai didn't say.
However, Ling Yang felt that since they were new species and minerals, they should be of some use. After all, Lin Hai did not seem to be mad at all, so he would not be looking for an elixir of life on a whim.
"In such a short time, we can't actually see the results of our efforts, but we still have to do it."
As Qinghe continues to divert resources to Cambodia, naturally there are voices of doubt. The biggest doubt is that the development of Xichuan and Xiangyun has just got on track. Is it putting the cart before the horse to divert too many resources to the "newly occupied areas" instead of focusing on developing the "local area"?
Lin Hai felt it necessary to clarify this point.
"We have no colonies, no newly occupied territories, and no homeland. Before we officially declared our country's name, all of this was called Qinghe."
Lin Hai looked at the new map just submitted by the Ministry of Government Affairs.
On the new map, all traces of the Khmer have been completely erased. Even the marking of Bangkok has been changed to provincial capital instead of national capital. Of course, the original Qinghe County has not been marked as the national capital. After all, the issue of where to set up the capital has never been decided, and everyone has been arguing about it.
But no matter what, half of Hanzhong, Xichuan, Xiangyun and the Khmer Rouge, which has been divided into three provinces of Bago, Dakling and Sagaing, are marked in the same color. At least on paper, there is no difference between them.
"Qinghe is now shouldering too many and too heavy tasks. Almost all of our vital industries are in Qinghe. This is very helpful for us to concentrate our strength, but it also reduces our ability to resist risks and can easily lead to unbalanced development among regions."
Lin Hai thought about it and said to Ling Yang and everyone in the big office.
Although the population of Xichuan and Xiangyun has recovered after being stimulated by Qinghe's almost insane population policy, which is actually trying every means to take over other people's population, it still has not reached the number we need. In places like Bago, there are quite a number of landless farmers who need to be resettled.
These landless peasants were not not allocated land, but there was not enough land to be allocated. They were originally refugees, and during the war they were conscripted into soldiers by the Khmer court. Although they were not good at fighting, at least they had military rations to fill their stomachs.
After the Khmer defeat, these people scrambled to lay down their weapons and moved into the prisoner-of-war camp in Qinghe, where they began to eat and drink.
You ask them to work, and they will do it. You whip them, and they won't even bother to dodge. But once it's time for their two meals a day, these people become uncontrollable.
No matter what they were doing or what situation they were in, even if they were digging out manure in a prisoner-of-war camp, they would immediately put down their work, wipe their hands on their dirty and torn pants that could not cover their buttocks, pick up their bowls, and line up at the food window.
Yes, queuing is the only compromise they are willing to make in order to get a meal.
At the beginning, this group of guys rushed forward and buried their heads in the food buckets and started to work. Later, they could not be controlled anymore. Ding Lin mobilized a large army and directly cut off the food supply to the prisoner-of-war camp, telling them that if they did not line up, they would not be given any food.
Originally, Ding Lin had formulated various plans to quell the riots in the prisoner-of-war camp, but he didn't know that these people were serious about it and would not be given any food if they didn't line up, so they miraculously learned to line up within a day.
You know, even back then at the Phoenix Mountain Military Camp, it took the Linhai Church's first batch of militiamen three days to line up.
So far, the only contribution these people have made to Qinghe River is to produce manure.
After the prisoners of garrison troops from all over Cambodia, especially those from the garrison corps, were stuffed into the prisoner-of-war camps, the number of prisoners of war had reached hundreds of thousands, and the stability had dropped sharply. Both Lin Hai and Ling Yang, who had been gritting his teeth to supply food to the prisoner-of-war camps, needed to find a way out for these people.
"Put them all to work! We can't keep them like this any longer."
Lin Hai finally decided.
"Those who are sensible and capable of training will be sent to Qinghe's industrial departments after a period of observation. They will be trained there. After they have completed their training, it will be easier for us to start industrial construction in the three new provinces.
Those who can't learn anything but are honest people are sent to build roads. Anyway, the previous roads have not been completed, so there is plenty of work for them to do.
As for those stubborn ones, especially those from the garrison corps who are unwilling to accept their defeat and think they are just unlucky, they will all be sent to the mines. Doesn't the industrial zone need copper? Let them dig! "
As for the possible risks that Ling Yang mentioned by dispersing the management of these people, Lin Hai angrily said:
"No risk is greater than them gathering together and eating up all our food supplies!
The captives were separated from their fellow countrymen and superiors and subordinates.
Besides, my sworn brothers are in charge of guarding the various industrial zones and mines. I will send a message to them. If they find any unusual movements, at worst, they will be killed first."
Lin Hai was a little angry.
In fact, it’s not that Ling Yang and the others did a bad job.
The tradition of this world is to raise captives for a period of time, and then use this period to screen them, select a small number to kill, and then appease the majority of the remaining people.
Basically, after doing this, these captives can be fully utilized.
If it were an ordinary day, Lin Hai would not object to such an operation. After all, this method is a bit stupid, but it is basically a default plan agreed upon by everyone. Even the captives themselves know this plan, so whether you keep them or kill them, they can understand.
