But Lin Hai felt that he did not have enough time to spend on this. Since the total population was limited, he needed every living person to play his or her role as much as possible.
After all, whether it was the other two powerful countries on the mainland who had remained silent on the demise of Cambodia, or the abyss that he could only think about but not tell anyone, both weighed on Lin Hai like a huge rock.
He needs to race against time.
Labor can also transform a person.
This is Lin Hai’s method, letting the captives work.
If the prisoner is not reformed after labor, it means that the workload is not heavy enough.
This is easy. Qinghe has plenty of work for them to do.
"We'll have all the major factories select a group of technical backbones, along with graduates currently doing internships at the factories, and transfer them here. We need to expand the scale of our industry."
Lin Hai thought and spoke, and Ling Yang nodded and took notes.
Lin Hai gave more general requirements, and more details still need to be completed by the Ministry of Government Affairs.
It is very likely that for Lin Hai it is just a sentence, but for Ling Yang it is broken down into more than a dozen goals to be achieved, and then when it is passed to the Ministry of Government Affairs, it becomes a huge project.
Well, a grain of sand for the leader is a mountain for the employees.
However, the Qinghe Industrial Zone is indeed going to be relocated.
In Lin Hai's previous life, he had never seen anyone build heavy industry in the mountains, except in unavoidable circumstances...
Near Qinghe County, virtually all available flat land has been used to build factories. Recent proposals submitted to the industrial zone even include using explosives to flatten a mountaintop to expand the factory...
Well, there's plenty of room here...
"Continue to absorb the population and enrich Xichuan and Xiangyun. Well, find a way to relocate some people from Cambodia. But now they're our own family, so we can't force them. Let's design a policy. If they move over, they can get more land, reduce taxes, etc. Calculate these first and report to me."
Lin Hai was also quite helpless about the population issue.
According to his understanding in his previous life, the area under his rule could accommodate 100 to 200 million people even in the era of cold weapons. In addition, the grain production here was inexplicably high. As long as there were no continuous wars, there would be no problem in feeding these people.
With such a population size, what kind of industry can't be supported?
Even when generating electricity, he dares people to crank it by hand!
But after all, the world has a population limit of 100 million, so he dare not put his hope on getting everyone to give birth as much as possible. He can only find ways to absorb the existing population and optimize the population layout in various industries to achieve maximum output.
"Also, the army needs to intensify its sweeps across the country. We can't keep all three main field armies here forever. Besides Nineteenth Brother's troops keeping an eye on Xin Yuetu, we'll only leave one more army in these three provinces."
"Isn't one army a little insufficient?"
"We can expand the organization, using the veterans of an army as the basis to expand it to a group army, but we can't put all the veterans here, so the local area must be calmed down as soon as possible, especially since land reform is underway. Public security in various places will face challenges."
"Landlords in various places were dealt with to varying degrees. Many were executed, and many more were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment."
Ling Yang remembered this very clearly. After all, the Ministry of Government Affairs had been doing this for quite a long time. Even when there was a shortage of staff, he personally judged some cases.
"Oh? The prison is full?"
Lin Hai was still a little surprised. So many?
But he has ready-made experience to learn from in this regard.
Before he traveled through time, there was a Russian entrepreneur who mingled with prisoners and even provided them with opportunities to find new jobs. He had profound attainments in this area.
The company run by the man named Prigogine is also very prosperous.
Lin Hai had seen him on TV, but he always felt that it was very dangerous to do such a thing under someone else's command. However, he had traveled through time and space and could not get any information about the future, so he did not know whether this buddy could have a good ending.
But Lin Hai doesn't have to think so much, because he has the final say anyway.
"Captives have to work, so prisoners can't just sit around and do nothing. Qinghe doesn't support idlers."
Lin Hai said, "Since we are establishing a new country, we must have new rules. Let them all work, and detain them in different places for labor. Tell them that I am being merciful by not organizing prisoners to serve as death squads, so they must work hard."
After saying so much, Lin Hai felt that it was enough to keep all departments busy for a while, so he stopped talking and continued to count the days on his fingers. Speaking of which, Wang Zuo, who had gone out to gather intelligence, seemed to be coming back soon.
