Chapter 698 New Immigrants


Chapter 698 New Immigration

Last night, Zhou Xu's timely reining in from the brink greatly reduced his own damage. He slept until noon and basically woke up.

After washing his face and finishing his meal, he leaned on the chair for a while and felt his physical condition.

Mainly the eyes and head.

The backlash of that thing only lasted a moment. If he gave up in time, the trauma he suffered would not last too long. At this time, his eyes had basically returned to normal.

I'm still a little dizzy, but for now, it's not a big problem and I'll be able to fully recover in two or three days at most.

After finishing his breakfast, Zhou Xu wiped his mouth. Considering his own condition, he didn't plan to make himself too tired today, but some tasks that needed attention still needed to be given appropriate attention. .

"How has the response been to the immigration matter this morning?"

Hearing the question, Hilke, who was now serving as a 'secretary', was already used to it. This new level of identity now also responds fluently.

“Reporting to your Majesty, according to the latest report sent over, there are currently only fifty-seven people applying to immigrate to Huangsha City.”

"..."

This number was even less than Zhou Xu expected.

But there is nothing that can be done. Although Yan Sheng has lost the support of the people, he cannot change them. They are new to the Great Zhou Dynasty and have just endured the impact of the war. The people of Black Rock City have no regard for them. There is also a lack of trust, which is perfectly normal.

Although these are extraordinary times, trust still takes time to develop slowly and cannot be achieved all at once.

I touched Yan Sheng's body yesterday and made a lot of money. Zhou Xu is now in a very good mood.

"Anyway, the first batch of immigrants will leave in a week. When the time comes, no matter how many people there are, they will be sent to Huangsha City first."

According to the plan compiled by Zhou Xu yesterday, Huangsha City will also It’s time to develop.

The engineering team within Dazhou is also very busy. It is impossible to transfer the entire team, but he can transfer a few foremen who can lead the team to set up a construction engineering department here. of divisions.

This is Zhou Xu's old operation. He also did it this way when he annexed the lizard people's territory.

The management is held by their internal staff, while the following labor force is recruited from the local area.

This approach not only avoids the problem of labor shortage within their country, but also solves the job problem for many people here.

You know, the previous wars, coupled with the famine, basically paralyzed Blackstone City. Countless people have been cut off from their livelihoods. Now it is estimated that they can only survive by queuing up to get porridge every day. This city is full of The population, at first glance, is composed entirely of refugees.

Under this premise, if they can arrange jobs for these refugees, they will probably be able to gain the trust of these new people faster.

To some extent, this is a good thing for Zhou Xu.

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

"Ask."

In his office in the Lord's Mansion of Black Rock City, Zhou Xu replied without even raising his head.

"Why don't we let out the news that immigrants can get jobs? If they know that they can get jobs and solve the food and accommodation problems, then these refugees in Black Rock City will definitely be willing to go, right?"

After listening to Hilke’s doubts, Zhou Xu nodded.

“Yes, in this case, the refugees will definitely be willing to go, but the number of people will suddenly become too many, which may not be a good thing.”

"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand." Silk's face was filled with questions at this moment.

“Isn’t it bad that more refugees are going there?”

“It’s good in terms of the results, but not so good in terms of the process. . ”

Over Huangsha City, he has decided to build it into an industrial city. Under this premise, both the preliminary project and the labor force required after the subsequent factories are built. , that's all huge.

Considering this point alone, it would not matter to Zhou Xu if the entire population of Black Rock City was moved there.

To build a city, no amount of labor is too much for him.

Not to mention that Blackstone City has now become a frontline city. The fewer people there are, the fewer unstable factors will be, and the more stable the city will be inside.

But if he does this right from the beginning, he will definitely face some troubles in the process.

“Silk, for a large-scale population transfer, we will definitely need to arrange for people to escort and manage it along the way, right?”

"Yes!"

Silk thought there was nothing wrong with this and nodded.

“After arriving in Huangsha City, the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and jobs of these people must be arranged and managed, right?”

“Yes.”

Hope Erke nodded again.

"But at this stage, the main task of our frontline troops is to garrison Blackstone City to prevent war that may break out at any time. Under this situation, we do not have too many manpower to do these things."

"Taking into account the manpower management issues in Huangsha City, we will send up to 300 people in the first batch. If there are more than 300 people, they will probably not be able to manage them. As for when the second batch of people will be sent, It depends on the digestion status of the three hundred people in front. It will probably be half a month or even a month later."

At this point, Zhou Xu's face straightened.

“The current population of Black Rock City is more than 5,000 at least!”

“If we release this news, I believe that the number of people who signed up to immigrate to Huangsha City on the first day will There will be more than a thousand people. This is because the registration staff at the registration office have no time to record. Within a few days, more than half of the city's population will appear on the immigration list. "

Looking at Hilke who was still obviously unaware of the problem, Zhou Xu had no idea.

After all, Hilke’s job is to be a general, and this is something that the internal affairs staff need to worry about.

But since Silk had this doubt, he didn’t mind talking about it.

“Once these people sign up, they will automatically enter a waiting state. For those waiting, the time is long, especially when they are in a difficult environment. Waiting As time goes by, some people will become impatient. Once similar emotions arise, they may start to blame us and even cause some riots."

"Ah this..."
< br>

Zhou Xu's words made Silke feel incredible, or incomprehensible.

Unlike the population of the Zhou Dynasty, which has simple folk customs, the population of this country has experienced a lot of things, so human nature is more complex, and the bad qualities hidden in it are also revealed.

"Instead of that, it is better to maintain the current situation. At least they only need to wait for soup every day. We have plenty of food in the week, and we can basically ensure that there will be no problems in this area. We save It’s good to avoid the troubles that may happen at the beginning, and they don’t need to suffer from the long wait.”
