Su Ri'an had no other choice. He came to ask King Yu instead of looking for a better solution, but now it seems that what King Yu said is indeed very reasonable, but it cannot convince Su Ri'an. Su Ri'an was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, we won't discuss these. Now it seems that there are about 150,000 illegal immigrants in Penang alone, of which there are more than 80,000 urban areas, and the entire Nanyang illegal immigrants are at least 350,000. Where is their way out?

Massacre them does not conform to our civilized concepts, turning them into slaves does not conform to our laws, and directly dismissing them will cause many diplomatic storms, and most people will not be accepted. Only by giving them a reasonable way out can the security and stability of Nanyang be ensured."

Li Junwei nodded and said, "I can give three suggestions on this matter, one is to digest locally, the second is to move out of a new place, and the third is to go to India."

"India?" Su Ri'an frowned.

Li Junwei nodded: "Indeed, when I go to India, my elder brother is now the emperor of Hindustan. Just as I supported him to strengthen his army, he handed over most of the men of the Tianfang scholars west of the Tianshan Mountains and east of the Black Sea to him. Now he is willing to accept immigrants from South China, which I have received written recognition from him."

Seeing that Su Ri'an was still a little confused, Li Junwei explained briefly. After Li Jundu failed to compete for the throne, he chose to go to India instead of America to practice his career. The Supreme Emperor Li Mingxun introduced him to a group of very useful teachers - the Manchu powerful people in the War Criminal Management Institute.

At that time, Li Junwei realized that if he could really occupy the subcontinent, he would rule the indigenous people with alien races and rule the majority with minorities. This situation was very similar to that of Manchu ruling China, so it was necessary to learn from Manchu in terms of political system.

In fact, the current Hindustan State does have some characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, such as the nine thousand households who were directly loyal to the emperor and the nine thousand households living near Agra. They were the strongest standing army under Li Jundu and the source class of the main officials, which was very similar to the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Among these 180,000 households, only a very small number were Han people, most of them were Uzbeks who conquered the land in the river by Li Junduo. The Kazakhs and Crimean Tatars sent by Li Junwei to the expedition. The 180,000 households were just a general term, but there were actually 220,000 households and about 1.3 million people.

This is the greatest reliance on the imperial power of Li Jundu. They did not intermarry with the locals and maintained their de facto independence. They were also the largest powerful class in Hindustan. However, in the entire subcontinent with a population of 34 million, the million people are still a minority, so if you send hundreds of thousands of them, Li Jundu will still accept it without hesitation and be able to give it a relatively high status.

Li Junwei also showed the handwritten letter sent by Li Jundu, willing to give this group of people a status that is not lower than Vaishya in the caste system, and depending on their property and quality, there is a chance to become Kshatriya.

Su Ri'an felt that these treatments were not low, but he was not sure about one thing, that is, whether it was completely true, and the final result was not controlled by the empire.

"Are you talking about moving out of Xijin in the former foreign country?" Su Ri'an asked.

"Not only Xijin, but also all overseas territories surrounding the Indian Ocean, whether it is provinces or colonies, of course, mainly colonies, because the colonies have relatively loose religious policies," Li Junwei explained.

Surian also had some understanding of the empire's colonies. Although the colonies had relatively loose policies, there were few opportunities to be accepted into a citizen or even a citizen by the empire. Taking African colonies as an example, African Development Company had a large number of colonies in eastern and southern Africa, but the policies within the colonies were completely different. Various policies in core cities and special areas such as Yingzhou (Madagascar), Xiacheng and other core cities and special areas were exactly the same as those in the imperial provinces, and the real relaxation was the vast African continent colonies.

However, after these immigrants went, their political status was generally the same as those of foreign businessmen, familiar people, and mixed-race people. They had no political power and were not citizens. However, they needed to fulfill their obligations, including paying taxes and joining the army. Because there was no corresponding system in the colonial areas, they could not pass the work, abide by the law and assessment to become citizens, so they could only look at whether they had luck, such as making merits on the battlefield.

However, they have very few restrictions on their lives and have almost complete freedom. There is no religious bureau to manage their religion and no household registration checked by the Public Security Bureau. They are actually residents of the colonies, or economic animals under the name of colonial companies. As long as they do two things, first, pay taxes according to the rules. Second, don’t rebel. No one will pay any attention to them at all.

Relatively speaking, the conditions in Xijin are better. After all immigrants go, they are guaranteed foreign workers. They have all systems that can be naturalized and are more likely to become citizens.

These differences are actually the empire's perception of overseas land. Colonies are the land owned by the empire, while core cities and special areas are places that are regarded as imperial land. The former is only property and sphere of influence, while the latter is the soul of the roots of the empire and cannot be discarded at all.

Li Junwei's attitude made Su Ri'an more convinced what he said before. His Highness Yu supervised and presided over the chaos in the South China Sea and advocated the adoption of a mandatory policy on illegal immigration not just because the empire developed the Xijin area, but indeed for the empire's century-old plan.

"I have always been deporting these illegal immigrants to Xijin because of you, but now it seems that it is not the prince's intention. However, compared with places like India and overseas territories, the ministers still want to know more about the local digestion method." Su Ri'an looked at Li Junwei and asked for advice seriously.

"I personally recommend that you not use your current attitude in your next work. The current public opinion in the Nanyang area is somewhat extreme. If you think about immigration in this way, you will be charged with treason, which is not conducive to the development of your local work." Li Junwei first reminded him, and then explained: "Local digestion is indeed a choice, but the main targets of economic and technical immigration cannot be promoted.

Pei Yuanqi racked his brains for immigrants in Xijin area. He thought of a better solution, which is the guarantee system. I think this system can be promoted in Nanyang. Although the labor used by many workshops, plantations and labor companies is illegal, it is inevitable that many workers will depend on them because of the long time. For example, the workers who carry goods on the dock can change from foreign workers to landless farmers at will, but they can use and repair steam cranes, but they can't just take over it.

Many foreigners who have technology or management, or who have certain financial strength and have local investments can stay, but citizens or institutions need to guarantee them. Keep these necessary talents to ensure that they will not affect their local production and life due to illegal immigration.

These illegal immigrants who have obtained guarantees can be transformed into legal foreign workers on the spot, and then they can live legally within the empire, obtain nationality step by step, and integrate into the empire society."

Obviously, this policy is for the empire, not for immigration. Su Ri'anluo still feels very reasonable when he thought about it. He said: "What do you think the prince thinks if you kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and to gather the most arrogant Burmese people in Penang to demonstrate the empire's determination?"

Li Junwei smiled: "I don't think so. This method can indeed gain support from local people, especially nationalities, but it will also cause huge trouble. This huge action may lead to illegal immigration riots in Southeast Asia, and may also lead to armed conflicts. If there is too much blood, it will be a failure if it succeeds."

"What about your suggestions?" Su Ri'an asked.

Li Junwei thought for a while and said, "My father once told me a story, which was the general idea that the persecution of Jews in some place in Europe. Although this kind of persecution is unacceptable, the methods in it are enlightening to your work. There is a short poem that I can give to you. I believe you will gain something. I want to think about it carefully and send it to your office in the afternoon."

"I Didn't Make a Voice"

At first they chased the Jewish missionaries, but I didn't speak out - because I was not a missionary.

Then they persecuted Jewish bankers, and I didn't speak out - because I was not a banker.

Later they killed the Jews, and I didn't speak out - because I could convert to His religion.

Finally, when they started to deal with the remaining Jews, including me, no one came forward to speak out for me.

In the afternoon, in the office, Su Ri'an recited the poem written by Li Junwei, thinking about it. At the end, Li Junwei wrote a passage: The reason why illegal immigrants need to be dealt with is not because they are immigrants, but because they are illegal. The rule of law promoted by my father and brother has exhausted everything has made the empire form a consensus, that illegal people hate. Illegal imperial citizens, everyone hates, and illegal illegal immigrants are also hateful. Dislikes are hateful. Legal citizens hate, and illegal immigrants who are illegal but not illegal are also hateful.

After reading these words, Su Ri'an understood. He only needed to figure out one thing now - who is the most annoying, not only makes the imperial citizens hate, but also makes illegal immigrants hate.

This has become the subject that Su Ri'an will investigate next. In the next few days, Su Ri'an sent people to visit and interview various places in Penang, with the targets including legal citizens, illegal immigrants and immigrants who obtained legal status, and finally several specific groups of people were found.

The first thing to be affected are illegal religious people. All sectors of Nanyang society, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity, hate these guys deeply. Some of these religious people are wearing legal cloaks, while others are simply completely illegal. In their motherland, religious people were originally rulers. When they arrived in the empire, they hid in the dark corners that could not be shined by the light of the law. They still acted as a mighty man and controlled everything to believers.

If their behavior is still human in their motherland, but they are alien in the empire, you should know that in Nanyang, all illegal immigrants live in large and small groups. Although their residences are gathered together, they must come into contact with the nation in daily life. Just imagine, if a woman sees a nationality who can go shopping, shop, fall in love, have children, eat what she likes, wears beautiful clothes, but she must stay at home. She can only come out with her husband and must wear a masked black robe. What would they think?

In the motherland, this is common and necessary, but in the empire, even if there is a chance to be unbound, but still be bound, how can they not hate religious people who hold the rules and abuse lynching?

Even men in illegal immigrants have to pay religious funds to these people, introduce their work and get commissions, and are protected by their sects and even gangs, pay protection fees, and most of the wages earned have become religious people. If they want to pursue equality, freedom and rule of law, they are not allowed to live. How can they not hate these people?

This is true for the general public among illegal immigrants, not to mention others. The various yamen at all levels in Nanyang hate them for threatening to make trouble and control grassroots power. Ordinary people hate them to exclude others and not allow outsiders to go in to do business and make money. Workshop owners hate them to control labor and cannot hire them freely. The business community hates them to monopolize their operations. Even beggars and prostitutes hate them, but they have never dared to fight. Even the government is afraid of the rat, let alone other classes.

After Su Ri'an found out the results, he was very happy and glad that such people were not only easy to deal with because they were unpopular and easy to deal with, but more importantly, these people are the key to illegal immigration, churches, gangs, labor companies and fellow villagers. These guys used various means to control illegal immigration, but they were actually the leaders of illegal immigration, and they were caught in one place. Illegal immigration was a scattered sand that could be defeated one by one.

After understanding it, Su Ri'an immediately took action and joined forces with the Penang Public Security Bureau, the Religious Office, the Army Gendarmerie and the Malayan Security Guards, a branch battalion, with a total of more than 700 people entering Chenghua Avenue in Erxianqiao District, Penang.

There are two districts on both sides of Chenghua Avenue, gathering Bangladeshi and Javanese. Both ethnic groups believe in the Tianfang Cult. The combined number of people of the two ethnic groups is large. The Penang household registration unit has more than 4,000 people, but in fact nearly 10,000 people. But more importantly, local forces use labor companies to show their presence outside, mainly to rent laborers from nearby spices and coffee plantations. Now is the peak season for coffee collection, and a large number of people are in other places, otherwise they will definitely be recognized by more than 25,000 people.
