Chapter 47: Pragmatism

After New Year's Day in 1949, the focus of the Malayan government was to resettle a large number of immigrants. Thousands of mainland immigrants came to Malaya on passenger ships. The rich stayed in hotels and went to buy houses, while the poor had to wait for the government to resettle. Although a large number of Chinese workers had been recruited in advance, the Malayan government was still very busy.

Although a large number of immigrants have caused temporary difficulties for the Malayan government, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. First, the proportion of Chinese in the Malayan Federation has greatly increased, thus stabilizing the government's ruling foundation; second, a large number of skilled workers have provided full potential for the industrial development of Malaya; third, the arrival of a large number of farmers has accelerated the development of wasteland in remote areas of Malaya, allowing the land to be fully utilized; fourth, the arrival of large capitalists and the arrival of large landlords has provided a large amount of funds for the industrial development of Malaya; fifth, the idle labor in the early stage greatly accelerated the construction of infrastructure such as roads and railways, laying a good foundation for the future development of Malaya.

"We will recruit people to move our property, and we will complement each other!" Wu Ming said so at the government affairs meeting held.

"Shanghai agency sent a telegram, and Mr. Du was very grateful for the gift of food. Through this move, the government's prestige and credit among the people has increased significantly." Zhao Xiaomei said: "Mr. Du has decided that if the situation worsens, he will go to Malaya in the future, but he is eager to handle a lot of things. He wants to mobilize cash as much as possible to prepare for his long-term escape. He also wants to settle the Zhonghui Bank, which he founded. He hopes that the accounts can be settled clearly and not leave a real person because of the unfinished matters of Zhonghui."

"He has a lot of things. What about those relatives and friends, Shanghai Qishen, the "five tycoons of financial industry and business" Chen Guangfu, Li Fusheng, Song Liuzhang, Qian Xinzhi and others decided?" Wu Ming asked.

"Two people went to Hong Kong, and others were still watching the scenery or waiting for Mr. Du." Shenyanghui, Director of the Intelligence Bureau, reported: "Mr. Du is good at his family, children, confidants, and related friends. In principle, everyone is going together. However, due to different situations and different environments, he was urging many people to leave Shanghai as soon as possible, in the superficial way."

"It's okay if you go together. Arrange a medium-sized passenger ship to Wusongkou and let them bring everything up first." Wu Ming said.

"I understand." Shenyang suddenly smiled faintly. "Brother Liu, do you know what Mr. Du said most often now?"

"What is it?" Wu Ming asked strangely.

"Mr. Du told many people: If you go with the Kuomintang, you will have a bowl of porridge at least; if you are with the Communist Party, you can only eat rice fields!" Shenyang replied with a strange smile.

"Mi Tian Gong? Then, isn't that just a slut!" Wu Ming also laughed silently, "It's enough for him to say this."

"It's not all that he told people that blood is still the slogan that GCD has been shouting. GCD is sinister. They avenge and settle accounts, and pay for their lives, but also give people extremely painful insults and tortures. They kill a person not only to kill that person, but also to suffer a lot before they die." Shenyang continued: "Those who are so scared that they have old grudges with GCD are either going to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or to Malaya."

Wu Ming smiled bitterly, "Mr. Du is really working hard. Let's talk about it before we get through the current difficulties. Arrange houses for the elders and tycoons. The GCD cannot tolerate the exploiting class, so we accept them all. This is the difference between us and them. We do not eliminate the exploiting class but guide them. In my opinion, the exploiting class cannot be completely eliminated. Only by governing the country by law and limiting their exploitation to affordable limits, and taking care of the interests of most people, can this country be stable."

"When it comes to this, I have to report good news to you." Zhao Xiaomei said with a smile: "The Draft Labor Law has been formulated and is under final review. Moreover, the Company Law, Health Law, Urban Appearance Law, Education Law, Compulsory Military Service Law, etc. have basically been formulated. Within three months, more than 20 laws and regulations will be issued. This period is not only the climax of immigration, but also the climax of the issuance of laws."

"Is it a society ruled by law? That should be like this?" Wu Ming smiled: "The establishment of an independent clean government bureau, and the work of the Labor Supervision Bureau and other departments should also be accelerated. Chiang Kai-shek's failure has sounded a wake-up call for us. No matter what kind of corruption it believes in, a government that will sooner or later be trampled by the people."

"The danger of red transformation exists." Shenyang nodded solemnly, "The establishment of Red China, the theory of revolution output will more or less affect our country. It is appropriate for us to prepare early, and the President's suggestion to establish the General Trade Union in the area where the government participates."

"Chinese people have always been the most patient. They are not really bullying too much or can't eat, they will not rebel." Wu Ming tapped the table with his finger, "But we must take this into consideration, let them live and work in peace, and try every means to alleviate social conflicts. When the country's wealth accumulates, we must also adopt various welfare policies to make the elderly have something to support, the young have something to learn, and the disease can be cured. Capitalism and communism, we should take the place of success and abandon their idealism. We should go to a pragmatic line. As long as we remember the words that are beneficial to the people and the country, it is difficult for the country to be unstable."

"Although the prospect of communism is wonderful, it is too ideal. A road that our predecessors have never taken will inevitably encounter bumps. A country's road encounters setbacks, not like a person or a factory, and the damage is caused by millions of ordinary people. We, an emerging country, cannot withstand such a heavy blow." Shenyang said.

"I hate the communism of the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union is now a big country and a powerful country that can compete with the United States, the hidden dangers are also obvious." Zhao Xiaomei said: "The stability maintained by purely violent machines will always break out, and the Soviet Union's domineering behavior will also slowly disintegrate the so-called communist camp."
