My Empire War Game - Chapter 672
The ice and snow melted, and the northern wilderness became lively again. The caravans who had endured a winter began to prepare and set off when the ice and snow first melted.
Although the weather is still a bit cold at this time, if you wait until the ice and snow completely melt, the road from the northern provinces to the northern wilderness will become muddy and very difficult to walk. Therefore, experienced caravans will set off some time in advance.
After entering the Principality of the North Wind, the road is completely different. The Principality of the North Wind has a special hobby for road construction. They connect all the cities in the Principality of the North Wind with stone roads. According to them, this is an official. Tao.
The official road of the Principality of Beifeng is very extravagant, yes, it is luxury. In the eyes of Old Hahn, it is completely expensive. The official road of the Principality of Beifeng has an average width of six meters and can easily run four carriages in parallel. This is other on the mainland. The country is not comparable to the roads in many cities.
As the ice and snow melted, immigration to the Duchy of the North Wind started again. According to Su Lun’s idea, the Duchy of North Wind needs at least one million people in the short term, and at least 10 to 20 million people are needed to develop the northern wasteland.
This is a long-term task that may last for decades. In addition to the population immigrants here in the northern wilderness, immigration routes have also been opened in Deepwater City. Because of the warm climate, developed commerce, relatively stable society, and high food production, the countries in the southern seas have developed rapidly, and at the same time, the population of these countries has increased. Fast.
But the good natural conditions and environment are not all benefits. The productivity of this world is only around the Middle Ages. There were no large-scale factories and it was impossible to absorb too many people. The amount of land was also very limited. Will not spend more money to hire more farmers, as a result, these countries have a large idle population.
In order to live, many people choose to become sailors or pirates and want to fight. After all, the sailing skills of this era are very dangerous every time they go to sea.
But even if there are still a large number of people unable to resettle, these people will become a hidden danger to the stability of the city. After Su Lun discovered this, he ordered Deep Water City to go to those places to promote immigration in a planned way.
Anyone who is willing to immigrate to the Principality of Beifeng will get ten acres of farmland as long as they work for the Principality of Beifeng for three years. In addition to these ten acres of farmland, the government will build a house for them, and they also own fifty acres of wasteland. The farmland obtained from wasteland reclamation will be exempt from tax for three years, and only half of the tax will be collected for five years.
As for why Su Lun didn’t offer better terms, it was because the terms you gave were so good that others would just think you are a liar if they don’t believe you. If you say anything, as long as you give him away, you will be given 50 acres of land, a house, and tax exemption for you. Then they got on the boat, left the port and sold these people as slaves.
This kind of thing has happened many times before, and the ship is no better than on the land. Once on the ship, it is what people say. At the beginning, many slave merchants used this deceit to make their fortunes. In the beginning, the immigration boats of Deepwater City offered good conditions when they came to the southern waters to recruit immigrants, but few came to register, and many people did not come after signing up.
After seeing this situation, the immigration officials of Deepwater City were also confused and even improved the immigration conditions again, but as a result, fewer people came…
Immigration officials who did not understand the situation finally sought out some people who were familiar with the situation as consultants, and then with the help of these people, they lowered the immigration standards, and the immigration was successful.
Now the immigration officials of Deepwater City go further. They are now cooperating with the nobles in the southern sea cities. These nobles are basically powerful nobles in the local area. For these nobles, the large number of refugees in the city is completely unreliable. The stability factor deeply welcomes the willingness of these deep-water cities to accept these refugees.
At the same time, officials in Deep Water City also stated that sugar, toilet paper, and rum can be used in exchange. When I heard that the refugees who were useless and even affected the stability of the society could be exchanged for these short-selling commodities, the nobles all at once. Crazy, sent troops directly to arrest people in the territory.
The immigration channel of Deepwater City got busy quickly. At most, 16 ships arrived on this channel in one day, and about 400 people were carried on the ship every day. Six to seven thousand people were transported in just one day. Immigration.
With the deepening of this kind of cooperation, the number of immigrants is also rapidly increasing. On average, Deepwater City can emigrate 120,000 to 300,000 people in a month.
After these people came to Deepwater City, some of them stayed in Deepwater Port to support the construction here, and the rest were sent to Zhenbei City, which was then distributed to Jinghu City and New City by Zhenbei City.
The arrival of a large number of people also made Zhenbei City feel pressure. Various living materials were quickly consumed. The most important thing was food. Fortunately, Su Lun had always been very caring about it. Zhenbei City stored a lot of food every year.
It is also because of these grains that Su Lun dares to emigrate such a large number of people. Because of the harvest altar in Zhenbei City, the grain output is very high. Among them, potatoes can produce two to three thousand catties per acre. In Zhenbei City, Su Lun Lun has planted 500,000 mu of potatoes. The output of potatoes alone is enough for one million people to eat for a year. UU reading www. uukanshu.com and potatoes can be planted for two seasons here in the Duchy of Northwind.
In addition, there are various kinds of beef and mutton around Zhenbei City. It can be said that Zhenbei City has sufficient strength to feed these immigrants. As long as the first year has passed, the grain output in Zhenbei City will be higher and higher. Basically, there is no need to worry about insufficient food.
However, the migration of large numbers of people has also brought many problems, such as insufficient housing construction and a serious shortage of grassroots officials, and with the arrival of these new immigrants, the urban environment has also begun to deteriorate. These immigrants have no hygiene awareness at all, and it is more difficult to urinate and urinate wherever they are. It is a common occurrence, and it was originally the basic-level officials who trained them.
However, the number of immigrants is too large, and there is a serious shortage of manpower in Zhenbei City. At the same time, many immigrants took advantage of the shortage of manpower in Zhenbei City and started various illegal and criminal activities.
Many of these immigrants were once gang members. After seeing the prosperity of the North Wind Principality and there were no gangs, all of them were ecstatic, and they quickly contacted their original friends to form gangs, and then divided the territory.
But they didn’t expect that Su Lun would attach such a high degree of importance to city security. After finding that the grassroots officials were short of manpower, they immediately let the troops from Zhenbei City join in to maintain order together.
