Chapter 465
Since the Spring Festival, although the officials have refuted the rumors many times, the rumors about the change of the ID card processing policy this year have not stopped.
As a result, the number of people swimming in Xiangjiang from Nanwan has greatly increased.
In the past, February, March, and April every year were also winter seasons in Xiangjiang. The water temperature was relatively cold and it was not suitable for swimming. The most suitable months were actually the five months of June, July, August, September, and October.
And generally start swimming from Nanwan at five or six in the afternoon, and arrive at Xiangjiang at two or three in the evening. This time period is the most suitable. After all, it is easy to be discovered early, and the water temperature becomes colder and colder when it is late, which is easy to be unbearable.
But since the Spring Festival in February this year, no matter how cold the weather is, there are a large number of people swimming in Xiangjiang no matter in the morning or at night.
According to the statistics of some newspapers, it is estimated that more than 20,000 people came to Xiangjiang in February, and this number will surely surge to more than 30,000 in March.
As the weather gets warmer, it is believed that in the five months from June to October, more than 300,000 people will swim to Xiangjiang, and there may even be more than this number.
As soon as this speculative data came out, the people of Xiangjiang were shocked.
Many of them just wanted to get their relatives and friends to come over quickly, but they never expected that there would be so many people who had the same idea as themselves, and they never imagined that if the current momentum is followed, Xiangjiang will be able to return home within this year. , will inevitably increase by about 400,000 people.
How many people are there in Xiangjiang now?
But about 5.2 million people.
If 400,000 people were added at once, that would be almost 8% of the population increase.
After two or three years, the parents, wives (husbands), and children of these people apply to settle in Xiangjiang through their families, and it is not surprising that 400,000 yuan will become 1 million.
The population has increased by about 20% in three years, which is too crowded for Xiangjiang.
Some scholars have said before that the best population in Xiangjiang is generally around 5 million. If it exceeds 6 million, it will have a considerable impact on the living environment.
Whether it is our relatives and friends that are more important, or the job opportunities and living environment of our own family members are more important, such a contradiction seems to appear all at once.
The people are discussing heatedly, and the Xiangjiang government has also become nervous.
They originally wanted to refuse to come to Xiangjiang secretly. The reason is that there are too many people in Xiangjiang now, and 5 million is already the limit of the burden. If there are more, Xiangjiang will be overwhelmed. In many aspects such as daily life and work, will encounter great difficulties.
As a result, the news was leaked when everyone was still thinking about it, and it was useless to refute the rumor.
Now more and more people are sneaking over. With the current marine police, there is absolutely no way to stop them, and many fish slip through the net.
If things go on like this, the estimates of the government departments will be even more exaggerated than those reported in the newspapers. They believe that the population of Xiangjiang will exceed 6 million this year.
This is absolutely intolerable.
Issues such as employment, public security, and pensions are all caused by overpopulation.
The capacity of the city of Xiangjiang is limited. Whether it is industry or port trade, etc., there is no way to accommodate so many people. The government is not willing to face so many problems in the future.
Therefore, when everyone had a deliberation result, the boss of the Chief Secretary immediately went to meet the Governor MacLehose.
Faced with their request to let the garrison warships participate in intercepting swimming pools, MacLehose refused without thinking.
There is only one reason. When warships are dispatched, uncontrollable factors will increase a lot, and one inattention will cause humanitarian disasters.
The Xiangjiang government didn't even use warships to intercept the ships coming from Vietnam, let alone the mainlanders who were close at hand.
MacLehose will never allow such consequences in the last two years of his term.
He made it clear to the boss of the Chief Secretary that if he wants to do what he wants to do well, he should hold a meeting to discuss it honestly, and formulate regulations through the legislature, and justifiably refuse mainlanders to enter Hong Kong through illegal means. Only in this way can we get more The funds will allow the Marine Police and Coast Guard to crack down on smuggling incidents to a greater extent and with greater intensity, thereby gradually preventing a large number of foreign populations from coming to Hong Kong.
MacLehose's prestige in Xiangjiang is very high, and he is also highly praised in the UK. Therefore, although the boss of the Chief Secretary is also British, he cannot be compared with him, and he can only return in a bitter mood.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world.
Through this conversation between MacLehose and the Chief Secretary, the Hong Kong newspapers and media have basically confirmed that the abolition of the identity card system for coming to Hong Kong is indeed imminent.
According to Xiangjiang's legal procedures, I am afraid that it will be banned in about half a year at most.
As a result, on the other side of the river, there was more and more restlessness, and more and more people practiced swimming and various preparations.
At this time, there are still good-hearted people.
Since February, a mysterious kind-hearted person has bought a large number of tire swimming rings from Guangdong Province, all of which are the tires used by Dongfeng trucks, and gave them to everyone who needs to swim to Xiangjiang.
Not only these tires that are hard to get outside, but also everyone gave two big pieces of dark chocolate, although it looks very bitter, but after eating it, the body will feel warm and increase a lot of strength, soaked in water It's not that cold anymore.
Because of these two equipments, the number of people who died accidentally while swimming was reduced by more than 70%.
In addition, there are other well-meaning people who will gather in front of several river crossings in Sekou and Nanwan to inform those who want to swim to the Xiangjiang River, which time the marine police are checking, and which time the marine police will Assault overtime...
They also try to let a group of people move forward together, so that they can take care of them a little bit, and if they encounter a critical moment, they can help them no matter what.
Because of this group of people, the death rate and the number of people who were caught and repatriated were reduced again by 70%.
After all, although the weather in the past two months has been cold, the casualty rate has been reduced by more than 90% compared with previous years. This really makes those who have successfully arrived in Xiangjiang feel grateful.
They succeeded, but Yin Jun's cost was a bit high.
Over the past two months, they have spent more than 2 million RMB on the preparation of these materials, as well as the bribery relationship with the marine police, etc., which are also painstaking.
It's nothing to bribe them, the key is not to have any involvement with yourself, which requires means.
Thanks to a group of soldiers under Yin Jun, many of whom were from reconnaissance companies, they had very strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities and a sense of confidentiality. Yin Jun was very relieved when he entrusted them with the task.
Compared with the big swimming tide from June to October, the current one is just an appetizer.
They have sufficient experience, whether it is the purchase, storage and supply of various security materials in the Mainland, or the pursuit of profits and hedging risks in Hong Kong, it is relatively easy to do.
Indeed, as the newspaper said, before the new identity card application regulations come out, a total of 400,000 people can swim to Xiangjiang, which is a great victory for Yin Jun. , definitely has great benefits.
As for the pressure brought about by the soaring population, Yin Jun is not worried at all.
After Xiangjiang, there will be more than 7 million people. I have never seen them have any difficulties in life and survival. Now it is less than 6 million. What is there to worry about?
As the poorest and largest area in Xiangjiang, it is the closest area to Sekou and Nanwan, and it is also the area with the highest concentration of migrants in Hong Kong. Tin Shui Wai is undoubtedly the favorite place for these swimmers to live temporarily.
Yin Jun didn't need to say anything, the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei and many villagers, including the villagers in Yuen Long, rented out the houses they built.
Usually a room of 20 square meters can accommodate 8 people, so it is conceivable how crowded it is.
Thinking about what was said in the news, in the next few months, two to three hundred thousand people may sneak across to Xiangjiang, and many of them even illegally built up their spare land, preparing to build houses and rent them out to these people who came to Xiangjiang. .
It is strange to say that although it is obvious that the identity card system will be changed in a few months, the police in Xiangjiang are surprisingly tolerant to those who have already arrived in Xiangjiang.
In addition to stepping up patrols in Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai to reduce the probability of crime, they generally turn a blind eye to those who obviously just swam over.
Those movie clips where you have to check your ID card when you meet a suspicious person on the street will actually not appear until this year.
There is no bill to prevent smuggling, so it is better for the police to do more than to do less. As long as they do not commit crimes, there is no problem.
However, with so many people here, how to eat and work is a very important matter, and this cannot be solved by turning a blind eye.
Once there are tens of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people in the future will have no way to obtain income, and they will become the most unstable factor in Xiangjiang. This is something that will definitely happen without any doubt.
How many people are there in Xiangjiang Police?
How many people are there in the garrison?
If hundreds of thousands of people riot together, it will be unstoppable.
After all, eating is bigger than the sky. If someone doesn't want them to eat, then they won't let others eat either.
Therefore, in addition to actively promoting the legal process on the one hand, the Chief Secretary is also actively preparing to see how to digest these immigrants.
Fortunately, these past few years are the last afterglow of Xiangjiang's industrial development, and construction companies need a lot of manpower to build houses, so after an emergency meeting, most of the related companies promised that if necessary, We will vigorously recruit these migrants to alleviate the pressure brought about by the lack of employment.
As a conscientious enterprise, Le Yiling, the general manager of Kylin Culture, shouted loudly, "Xiangjiang is my home, and we must love it. In order to make Xiangjiang a livable city where people can live and work in peace and contentment, Kylin Culture will not only expand in the next batch, but also Recruit people from the mainland as much as possible, and the land construction in Tin Shui Wai, which will inevitably start this year, can solve the employment problem of 5,000 people.”
Originally, Kirin Culture helped solve the big problem of employment for the unemployed vagrants in Tin Shui Wai, but now they actively support them when encountering problems, which really moved the Chief Secretary and other government departments beyond comparison.
If they can solve the jobs of 5,000 people on the construction site, then they can drive at least 20,000 jobs in related industries.
As long as there are 30 such companies in Xiangjiang, all the problems of population explosion can be completely solved.
This is the representative of a good company!
If there is any good thing in the future, we should also think of them. This is the real you come and go, everyone helps each other and benefits each other, and together create a bright future for Xiangjiang!
