The Rise of the European Emperor

The development of a country, or even a city, is inseparable from a large number of labor forces. The most basic need for the development of a city is construction workers. Only when construction workers build the factory buildings can the factories start to work. Only when roads and other public facilities are repaired can products be circulated.

However, construction workers are also very hard-working, exposed to wind and sun all day long, and there are certain construction risks. Even in the 21st century, construction workers are still exposed to wind and sun, and there are still certain safety risks. Therefore, in later generations, construction workers, sewer cleaners (that is, excavators), stevedores, etc. in big cities in China are often done by migrant workers who are the dirtiest and most tiring. And those migrant workers who are willing to do the dirtiest and tiring jobs are generally from rural areas, so they are also called migrant workers.

Not only in China, but also in Europe in the 21st century, there are also a large number of migrant workers. Why do several developed countries in Europe accept a large number of refugees from the Middle East? Do you really think they are kind? In fact, it is because developed countries such as Britain, France and Germany have a large number of the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the country, and their residents are unwilling to do so, so they can only count on refugees and immigrants. After all, the welfare of the citizens of their own country is good, and they can get money even if they don't work, so they don't have to do those dirty and tiring jobs. There are only foreign refugees, because they do not have local household registration and cannot find serious jobs, so they can only go to the construction site to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. Moreover, they dare not go on strike at every turn like local workers. Because, if you dare to assassinate, you will be repatriated at any time...

As for Huaxia, there is no need for refugees. Because, in the vast rural areas, some are migrant workers. Even, much more than European refugees came. Therefore, China's infrastructure has always been very strong, because China has the largest group of migrant workers in the world. Before Marin crossed, it seemed that the number of migrant workers in China was close to 300 million, almost catching up with the population of the United States, which was larger than the total population of Britain, France, Germany and Italy. No wonder the infrastructure capacity was so abnormal.

You know, the four countries of Britain, France, Germany and Italy are the four major powers in Europe. As a result, the total population of these four countries is not as large as the number of migrant workers in China. Then, it is not surprising that infrastructure and manufacturing are no match for Huaxia. In the 20th century, relying on the leading level of science and technology, these four countries can still compare. When China's technology gradually catches up, the four countries will be incomparable.

In fact, Matthew made it very clear in his works that year - the reason why England was able to carry out the industrial revolution first, in addition to the development of steam engine technology, the "enclosure movement" produced a large number of landless peasants, which is also a very important prerequisite condition. If there is not enough labor, even if there is machinery, it will be useless.

As far as the North Sea country is concerned, it is still in the primitive accumulation period of "opening up wasteland and farming", and it belongs to an agricultural country. However, if we want to go further and evolve into an industrial country, we must have a large surplus of labor, that is, there must be enough migrant workers. Otherwise, no one will be a worker, how to develop industry?

As society develops to a certain extent, the division of labor becomes more and more detailed. Although the propaganda says that jobs do not distinguish between high and low, some dirty and tiring jobs are still not decent enough to talk about. In later generations, even if moving bricks earns more than some office workers, the "grades" of the two are different. When parents scare their children, they only say "don't study hard,

Just go to the construction site to move bricks", but they don't say, if you don't study hard, you will be a small white-collar worker...

All in all, the work done by migrant workers, although not less paid, is hard work that is not respected. The so-called "work does not distinguish between high and low" is nothing but a lie. Otherwise, why would the official ape take the exam? You know, migrant workers earn much more than ordinary public servants.

Of course, although the social status of migrant workers is low and they do the dirtiest, most tiring and hardest jobs, they are still very important.

In later generations, migrant workers were mainly engaged in construction, transportation, agricultural trade, service and industrial fields. And these industries are all very important industries.

Needless to say, construction is needed for building houses and repairing roads, and the importance of transportation is also extremely important. Without manpower to transport materials, commerce cannot circulate in a timely manner. Or, the transportation cost is too high, which will affect the development of business. Needless to say, farmers, without migrant workers setting up vegetable greenhouses in the outskirts of cities and selling them in vegetable markets, food sources for urban residents will become a major problem.

Needless to say, the service industry, express delivery and food delivery require a lot of labor, which can greatly facilitate people's lives. In the industrial field, the skills of migrant workers may not be good, but they are the cheapest labor. Moreover, they are more obedient and honest than urban workers, and will not "rebel" casually.

These are all about modern migrant workers, and in this era, migrant workers are also very important and in great demand. For example, the Goslar silver mine in Marin requires tens of thousands of workers, the kind of full-time mining. Similarly, coal in the Ruhr area also requires a large number of coal workers to dig. After all, there is no mining machinery in this era, and it can only be excavated and transported manually.

Just because of the demand for coal in industries such as briquette and steel, Marin estimates that the Ruhr area needs at least 50,000 to 60,000 coal workers. Right now, there are more than 30,000 coal workers in the Ruhr area, and there is still a large labor gap.

If it had been left in the past, it would have been recruited directly from manors with ample population. However, in the current Beihai country, every labor force has been used to cultivate the land, and there is no surplus labor force to be found. Therefore, if you want more coal mining workers, you can only go outside Beihai to recruit them.

But the problem is that other German states have begun to guard against the North Sea State, preventing their young and strong from going to the North Sea State. Therefore, Marin has deeply felt the shortage of labor force in recent years. Not to mention mining silver and coal, even farming, there is a shortage of manpower.

In addition to mines requiring a lot of labor, other industries also need a lot of migrant workers. For example, in the maritime industry, in Bremen alone, there are thousands of migrant sailors who were recruited from all over Germany and made great contributions to Bremen's maritime trade. Of course, Bremen is now Marin's territory.

In addition to miners and boatmen who need a large number of migrant workers, the transportation industry in this era also needs a large number of migrant workers. After all, there is no modern means of transportation in this day and age, and transportation is extremely difficult. For long-distance transportation, merchant ships or horse-drawn carriages are fine. However, for short and medium-distance transportation, it seems more efficient and cost-effective to use small carts. However, every time a small cart is used, a strong man is needed... In addition, it also requires a lot of migrant workers to press coal into briquettes and transport them to various places...

It can be said that due to the lack of migrant workers, it is difficult for many industries in Beihai to develop. Before, Marin specially sent people to recruit a large amount of labor to come to Beihai to mine or serve as sailors. However, it is quite difficult to do. Because, Marin never thought of recruiting migrant workers before, but directly asked them to relocate their families to Beihai. However, this kind of immigration was boycotted by the princes, so they had to find another way. Then, recruiting migrant workers has become the best choice.

Migrant workers are not immigrants and cannot be used as a measure of national strength. You must know that in this era, the population is also an important indicator to measure the strength of a country. If Marin wants to immigrate 10,000 strong men, including the families of these strong men, there will be tens of thousands of people, which is very eye-catching. And the arrival of these tens of thousands of people will also mean that the strength of Beihai State will increase greatly.

But if it was replaced by migrant workers, it would be much less conspicuous...

Because migrant workers go to a certain place to work alone, without family members, the natural goal is much smaller. Moreover, migrant workers are not immigrants and will not change their household registration. According to official data, he is still a citizen of the original country and a taxpayer of the original country. Unlike direct immigration, not only the goal is big, but it is tantamount to blatantly poaching people's corners and robbing taxpayers, which is naturally disgusting. But if it is replaced by recruiting migrant workers, the possibility of being boycotted will be greatly reduced. After all, you're just offering jobs, not poaching people.

Marin calculated an account. If the miners, construction workers, transport workers, boatmen and sailors in Beihai State were all replaced by migrant workers, hundreds of thousands of young and strong laborers could be replaced from these positions. Whether these young and strong laborers are farming or serving as soldiers, they will bring huge benefits to Beihai and Marin. Moreover, it can also create a large amount of GDP...

In short, if a large number of cheap foreign migrant workers can be introduced, it will bring huge benefits to the North Sea economy and help Marin make a lot of money. After all, many industries in Beihai State are under the name of Marin. To a large extent, migrant workers came to work in Beihai to create wealth for Marin. If hundreds of thousands of migrant workers can be recruited, then the economy of Beihai State may "take off"...
