Chapter 723 Immigration Operation
The sky lanterns that were successfully released made Zhuang Mengdie and the others so excited that they couldn’t sleep at all at the moment. Later, they simply stopped sleeping and started to study all night long. .
But Zhou Xu didn’t have the energy. After setting off from Green Forest City, he drove for five consecutive days. When he arrived at Black Rock City, he immediately discussed the design of the hot air balloon with Zhuang Mengdie, and even In order to facilitate the other party's understanding, a sky lantern was made on the spot.
He felt sleepy and tired now. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep immediately. When he opened his eyes again, it was almost noon the next day.
After a simple meal, Zhou Xu was in no hurry to find Zhuang Mengdie.
He had already told Zhuang Mengdie last night about the design drawings of the hot air balloon he drew, as well as some manufacturing ideas, and even the material requirements for each component.
There wouldn't be much progress in one night, and he didn't have any new ideas, so there was no need to make another trip so quickly.
This afternoon, Zhou Xu basically spent his time listening to Shi Lei's report and inspecting the situation in Black Rock City.
There is nothing much to say in Shi Lei's report. Nothing happened here in Blackstone City, everything is safe and sound.
At the same time, during this time, as their reputation among the public continued to grow, and they gradually gained the trust of the people of Black Rock City, the immigration work became more and more smooth.
The immigration of a large number of people not only provides new population and labor force for Huangsha City, which has been emptied of the city, but also reduces the burden on Black Rock City.
At this stage, the people who immigrated to Huangsha City are living a much better life than the people here in Black Rock City.
The reason is very simple. When you go to Huangsha City, you will be assigned directly. Ready-made jobs, two meals a day, and accommodation are all included for you.
Basically, all you have to do every day is work hard, and you don’t need to worry about anything else.
On the other hand, here in Black Rock City, wars and famines broke out, and there was no food. Everyone was starving, and the work units in the city also collapsed. After a lot of trouble, the people were gone. Work.
Although the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty have occupied Black Rock City and gradually stabilized Black Rock City, avoiding the impact of the war, the restoration and development must be done step by step.
The famine problem in the city has not even been solved yet. At this time, we have to rely on the internal supply of food aid in the Zhou Dynasty to continue to survive. The remaining people basically have to rely on food every day. Live on porridge.
Comparing the two sides, the life in Huangsha City is simply like paradise.
Although Zhou Xu did not disclose this matter directly, he did not carry out any confidentiality work. Similar news has recently spread among the common people.
When the people heard this, they were all dumbfounded. They rushed to the registration office and saw the long queue.
I didn’t know, I thought I was queuing up to get porridge there.
Obviously, everyone has reacted.
There is no time to think too much, so hurry up and get in line first.
Unexpectedly, after waiting in line for less than two minutes, a soldier responsible for maintaining order at the registration office began to shout...
"This batch of places is already full. Those who signed up will be notified in the near future. Those who didn’t sign up will be sent away and wait for the next batch.”
Suddenly, the people complained.
The staff didn't care at all, put away the table and got off work directly.
But the people gathered here were unwilling to leave for a long time.
The main reason is that besides queuing up to get porridge every day, many of them have nothing else to do.
At this moment, they feel so regretful! Some even knelt down and beat the ground on the spot, with regret on their faces! You know, there was no one queuing up at the registration office here!
When they thought of this, the people at the scene suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.
During this period, after receiving the latest immigration list and confirming the number of people who had immigrated to Huangsha City, Zhou Xu spoke...
"That's almost it. The population of Black Rock City should not continue to immigrate to Huangsha City for the time being. "
The purpose of his immigration operation is to disrupt the social structure of the original people here.
If all the people in Black Rock City were transferred to Huangsha City, then this wave of operations would be of little significance.
What he needs is to break up the population even more!
“Next, we will open the immigration to Green Forest City and send the people who want to immigrate to Green Forest City. At the same time, we within the Great Zhou Dynasty can also select a suitable group to send. ”
It seems that spring is about to start now. According to the usual practice, they should have already started preparations for spring plowing within the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, they have to continuously transport materials here. A large number of transportation manpower is needed, so the labor force will definitely be in short supply in the future. It would be just right to send another group of people over to supplement the manpower.
As for Green Forest City, you can tell from the name of this city that there are large areas of woodland resources in the area.
Although it is a border city, due to the large woodland area, Green Forest City is really a city with abundant natural resources.
At the same time, this large woodland area also provides many jobs for the people in the city.
Not to mention other resource collection work within the forest land, logging work alone is enough to solve the employment problem of a large number of people.
After all, logging efficiency in this era is not very high, and it is also a physically demanding job. If you want to improve efficiency, you have to increase manpower investment.
Under this premise, Green Forest City itself has lumberyards and corresponding work units of wood processing plants.
What they need to do now is just to transfer the population of Black Rock City and let them devote themselves to logging and wood processing.
After all, he is going to start large-scale development and construction next, and he doesn’t want too much of such an important infrastructure material as wood.
In addition, the existence of woodland also destined the Green Forest City area to have good soil.
To put it simply, it is also suitable for farming there, and it has large fields.
The combination of the two is enough to absorb a large number of external immigrants from other cities.
As for the population of Green Forest City, immigration was opened immediately after they occupied it.
The population of Green Forest City can immigrate to Huangsha City and Black Rock City respectively.
Huangsha City is a city-wide construction project that requires more manpower. Even if another two or three thousand people are sent there, they can still handle it. At this stage, most of the immigrants in Green Forest City can handle it. Throw them to Huangsha City, and the rest will be placed in Black Rock City.
As mentioned before, Blackstone City is also a city with good development resources.
According to Zhou Xu’s subsequent understanding, in addition to the coal mine, there is also an iron mine here.
Mining work is similar to logging in this era. Whether the efficiency can be improved depends entirely on how much manpower is invested.
Black Rock City can provide a large number of jobs with just this mine.
While the mining industry is developing here, the land is not as barren as Huangsha City, and it can be considered a city with development potential.
