"Tie me!" A middle-aged police officer rode on a horse in the countryside of Minghe Town and said with a pride.

With his order, several policemen walked forward with shackles and locked several white men wearing sky blue cloth clothes and bearded. A slight commotion sounded behind them, but under the glaring of more than a dozen policemen holding rifles beside them, these people continued to remain quiet in fear.

"Riceki, you built a church privately, organized gatherings illegally, spread cults, and maliciously defaulted on taxes for two years. Now you are arrested, do you have anything to say?" The judicial officer in the town shook in front of one of the white men with an arrest warrant and said with disgust.

"These barbarians from Poland are really worry-free. Not allowed to build churches or worship are like digging their ancestral graves. It is really incredible. Such a kingless person (well, our court is now in a monarchy body) has no father and lacks the most basic human ethics. It is better to send it to Tacheng to dig coal early. Anyway, we don't want to see such despicable people again." The judicial officer looked at the Polish man with a dark face and was eager to defend himself.

"Director Li, Justice Chen, I have something to say..." The Polish man who was forcibly shackled and said loudly, "Every lost lamb has the right to serve the Lord. The Lord is kind and kind, and the glory he sows..."

"Bang!" A policeman smashed the butt into the Polish man's face, brutally interrupting his words below.

"It's really stubborn." The middle-aged police officer shook his head, "If you believe in a cult, you'll be stupid. Let the Supreme Lord tomorrow, it's the Heavenly Lord who cut you into ashes. Don't be too late, take them all away!"

"Sir, what should I do with this church?" a policeman came over with a torch and asked.

Director Li looked at the small wooden church in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Don't do anything randomly, put a seal on it first. Let the Taoist priests of the Taoist Association come and see it later. If it can be converted into a Taoist temple or a City God Temple, it will be a good thing. The country is not rich now, so it would be a pity to burn a good building."

"Yes!" After the policeman stood attentively and saluted, he turned around and arranged to put seals on his hands.

"Judge Chen, the person has been arrested. How should we judge it later is your business, brother, I won't care." Director Li jumped down from his horse, walked to the town judicial officer, and said with a smile.

"How else can I be sentenced? Exile!" Justice Chen lit a pipe for himself and Director Li, and said indifferently: "A few months ago, Member Jiang Nanqi (in charge of national judicial and prison work. One of the nine members of the Executive Committee Standing Committee) issued a document on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, requiring local governments to kill less, be careful, and try to change the sentence of exile as much as possible to make full use of human resources. Therefore, the spread of cults will no longer be sentenced to death. These Poles are the heads of underground churches, and basically end up exiling to New China Island for a lifetime of hard work. As for those believers who often go to churches in the village, they have to rely on the people from the Mei agency to identify them. The minor degree of stay in the village to repent, and the severe degree of exile is exiled to Australia, the Salmon Islands and even the Blackwater area in the Far East. It is very likely that you will never see them again."

"It's also a sin." Director Li sighed after hearing it for a long time and said, "It took a lot of effort to bring these people from the chaotic Poland. It took only one or two years to go through. In the blink of an eye, they will be sent to another place. I said, why bother? I think I might as well get less barbarians in the future. These people are strange and have made some troubles. Do we cause less trouble..."

Speaking of which, with the outbreak of the Baltic War in the past three years, more than 40,000 Polish and Lithuanian refugees flocked to the east coast. Although most of them were women, the number of men was still as high as 16,000. Most of these white men are non-nationals, but they are fortunate to share some of the fields to cultivate (of course, renting is not cheap), which is many times happier than those Italians who have been struggling in construction teams, docks, logging farms, mines and state-owned farms.

Of course, these Poles were fortunate to be assigned to the village to live with the East Coast people. This corvee service was naturally indispensable. However, the original old citizens in the village were not good men and women. After seeing these stupid barbarians coming, they found ways to transfer more heavy taxes such as movable property tax and real estate tax to the Poles on the East Coast. At present, the above two taxes are still levied on negotiated amounts and then distributed. There is a large room for fraud, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Poles. In addition, some religious differences, it would be strange if these Poles don’t have any problems. It is common for private churches to build groups to keep warm. So this suppression of the police was caused.

"I heard that many townships are now suggesting to reduce the input of immigrants, especially those Catholics. Director Li, is there no such news in your public security system?" Judicial Chen looked around and suddenly asked Director Li in a low voice.

Director Li nodded heavily when he heard this and said softly: "You know, my colleagues are basically from the Yuyuan Army. They don't really like these barbarians. Now I heard that someone suggested tightening the introduction of these big noses, so many people in our country followed suit and wanted to stop the entry of Catholics at least tightening the entry of Catholics. But whether this is successful or not, the court may not be able to make up this decision. After all, our country is short of people, and it has always been short!"

"I hope this can be done. The tax burden is indeed a bit heavier now. The country spends a lot of money on immigration every year, and as a result, it has introduced these worry-free noses. It's really not worth it to think about it." Mr. Chen also sighed.

...

In the administrative building of the Executive Committee hundreds of kilometers away from Minghe Town, Judicial Committee member Jiang Nanqi was also speaking to President Qiang Quansheng in the same tone: "Chairman, I suggest that you should introduce less European immigrants in the future, at least men should introduce less. After all, the country has eaten too much population in the past two or three years, and is currently in a state of mild indigestion. New Polish immigrants are still very xenophobic and have fewer contacts with villagers from Ming people, basically in a rhythm of their own. Not to mention the underground lectures, illegal churches, etc. that spring up like mushrooms after a rain, which have had a great negative impact on local public security."

"I also know that European immigrants have come a little more in the past two or three years, but wait for this year before talking about it. Do you think the situation of the surge in the past two years will continue for a long time, and you think it's beautiful!" Qiang Quansheng glanced at Jiang Nanqi and said, "It's just that the war has conquered a large number of refugees. This kind of good thing is not something you can encounter every day. However, it is also true that the Catholic immigrants you said are difficult to digest. Although the number of white men in China currently accounts for only 14% of the total population, most of them are Catholics with faith. It is quite difficult to naturalize. It is indeed necessary to limit the introduction. Although we are short of people, we should not accept everyone, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future."

"But old ginger!" Qiang Quansheng took a sip of Baiyan Mountain Tea, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "The number of immigrants in Europe will decrease next year (the fewest are mainly Baltic refugees, and the number of female slaves will increase slightly). The number of immigrants in the Far East Ming Kingdom is likely to not be able to maintain a large living rate, so the country's population growth rate will slow down accordingly. For this reason, cadres in industry, agriculture, transportation and other outlets are very objectionable, and their demand for labor will not be met."

"Slow down, just slow down, first build the foundation. Otherwise, if such ethnic groups are vaguely divided, how can our new nation be formed and tempered?" Jiang Nanqi said, "It is time for our immigration policy to be corrected. In recent years, the ratio of male-female immigrants who have been transported from the Far East back to the east coast has been between 3:2. This is not very suitable. I think it should be adjusted to 4:3 or even 1:1. The Ming people have always been our basic base. They do not have such a stubborn Catholic belief, and they are naturally difficult to be bribed or reversed by Europeans. They are much more reliable than those Italians, Poles or Germans. I don't want to work hard all my life. After I kicked my legs and closed my eyes, my descendants believed in foreign religions, and the whole country was also filled with Catholics. In that way, our country can also be changed. What is the name of the Chinese Republic, Italy and the Republic of Poland..."

Qiang Quansheng was unwilling to win Jiang Nanqi's nationalist sentiment so intense, so he couldn't help but look at him more and finally said: "The increase in the country's population is not a problem, and the side effects are great. The truly high-quality new population is still the second generation born in China. However, their average age is not high and they cannot make their own contributions to national construction immediately. However, everything must be better. The natural population growth rate of the country has exceeded 7% in 1656. Our efforts in medical care, food supply and sanitation transformation have finally received a reward. I believe that as long as we persist in this, relying solely on the natural growth of each year alone will be enough to steadily increase the country's population. Foreign immigrants may be just some embellishments at that time."
