Tsar's cumbersome immigration policy

In order to destroy the Polish national spirit, the Vienna Conference did not include Poland in its neighboring countries, but formed a new Polish kingdom from the vast territory of Poland, ruled by czar Alexander I of the Russian Empire. However, only fifteen years later, in a bloody predatory revolution, the immigration attempt of the Russian Empire ended. Advocate from

In other countries, this revolution made the Russian Empire infamous. However, in 18 15, the reform advocated by czar Alexander I met the highest ideal of governing the country. He advocated comprehensively improving the agricultural development in Poland and stimulating industrial development.

In order to achieve the development goal, the Russian imperial government once again sent envoys to densely populated areas in Western Europe to recruit farmers and skilled workers. Although some people put forward the trial proposal as early as 18 16, the whole plan was not implemented until 1820, 1823 and 1824 were issued three times. The agent in charge of delivering documents explains to people the preferential conditions that immigrants can enjoy, namely, land acquisition, exemption from military service and tax exemption for several years. When people were disillusioned with America, a country with favorable conditions opened its doors to them. Poland has uncultivated land, rich mineral resources and vast business opportunities. You can enjoy all these without crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

The tsar's immigration policy was implemented through cumbersome administrative orders. Facts have proved that these methods are very practical in the case of lack of experience. Due to the frequent news, other immigrants have followed the example of previous immigrants. About 1824, the migration movement in Poland reached its peak. At that time, due to the lack of statistical data of overseas immigrants, people could only measure the migration movement data of a region by speculation. According to the earliest or most reliable estimate, from 18 18 to 1828, the number of German immigrants who settled in Poland reached 250,000, and Poland accepted an average of 25,000 immigrants every year. At the same time, the average number of German immigrants living in the United States is less than 1000. Due to the implementation of the czar's immigration policy, Poland's agriculture has made amazing development. Polish local governments and many landowners attract immigrants through preferential policies. But some people just gave the immigrants a bad check, and the agricultural conditions were more severe than expected, so many immigrants gave up farming. But these immigrants did not return to China, but came to small industrial villages. The Russian Empire closed factories in Western Europe through tariff barriers, which provided a market for Poland's emerging industries. At first, there were only a few hundred factories in Poland. Later, thousands of factories kept popping up. Textile workers and craftsmen from Saxony and Prussia seized the opportunity to come to Poland and set up villages in the desert, which later became cities such as Lodz, Zigeiger and tommaso. In the textile history of19th century, these cities are famous.
