Chapter 376 After the Meeting
The imperial meeting once again lasted for a whole day, far exceeding the usual duration of the imperial meeting.
This actually has a lot to do with Perficott. It can be said that almost every long-term royal meeting is directly related to her participation.
Of course, this is not to say that Purficott’s arrival has lengthened the meeting, but because she has been looking forward to presiding over the doomsday response plan in the north for a long time, and the north is the future focus of the empire. Therefore, every time Purficott came to attend a royal meeting, there were a lot of things that needed to be communicated with the imperial center, which made the meeting very long.
After all, on the one hand, she has to report the situation in the north to the empire center, on the other hand, she has to understand the policy changes of the empire center, and finally, she has to discuss the decisions made by the empire center with the current situation in the north and the empire center. Discussions and necessary arguments.
After this set of procedures, it is strange that the meeting time can be short.
Many people may think that meetings are a waste of time. Endless leadership speeches and useless wrangling have no meaning except a waste of time.
However, in fact, these are by no means meaningless behaviors that have no effect. They are just some people doing meaningless things during meetings.
For example, if the leader gives a speech, it is naturally a torturous waste of time for ordinary meetings.
But at the imperial meeting, whether it was the Queen or other important officials of the empire, every speech made by everyone, including Purficott, contained a lot of information and content. It can be said that every sentence Determining the lives and deaths of countless people.
As for their disputes, this is even more true. The implementation of a policy cannot be decided by patting the head.
If there were no disputes in the Imperial Council and all issues were quickly decided in pursuit of so-called efficiency, that would be the biggest disaster.
Meetings are boring because the people attending them do not hold power.
When you have the power to decide the life and death of others, any relevant meeting will never be boring to you.
For Purficott, although meetings are not boring, they are indeed boring and quite energy-consuming.
Even she had to make some calming tea that could replenish energy consumption before she could continue to argue with the imperial ministers.
Perfect is now the lord of the Northern Territory no matter what, and every speech she makes at the imperial meeting affects the entire Northern Territory. When she feels that her responsibilities are becoming more and more arduous, Purficott It is only natural that Ficott consumes a huge amount of brainpower and energy.
Just like this imperial meeting, with Purficott’s argument, the imperial center approved the plan to migrate the population in advance.
Although the number of people migrating is not too large, only hundreds of thousands, it is still a migration of large scale and space.
Nearly all the large cruise ships in the empire were requisitioned, and a total of more than a thousand ships of various sizes, large and small, were put into this operation.
This was actually an important factor in Purficott's request for the empire to migrate its population in advance.
Considering that global cooling will occur in a year's time, the entire world may be frozen into ice, so the freezing of the ocean is naturally expected.
By then, traveling from the empire to the north will not be as convenient as it is now. Although an airship can also transport people, its carrying capacity is really limited. Compared with an airship of the same tonnage and a cruise ship, it may carry less than one-tenth of the passenger capacity of the other.
So considering the issue of economy and applicability, it is most economical and economical to use ships, and the quantity is large and the capacity is sufficient.
You must know that a cruise ship can usually accommodate thousands of passengers. A slightly larger ship may accommodate 3,000 or 5,000 passengers.
Shipping goods like this will definitely be a loss, but if it is transporting people, it may be difficult to find a more efficient method than this.
Just like this operation, a thousand ships of various types can transport at least nearly 100,000 people in just one trip, not to mention that this migration will last at least three months. time.
According to Purficott's calculations, even the most conservative estimate is that this operation will bring at least half a million new immigrants to the north.
It is no small matter to feed, drink, and defecate half a million people, let alone take care of their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
As the lord of the Northern Territory, Purficott must consider how to resettle and manage these 500,000 people after arriving in the Northern Territory, and how to ensure that they do not cause problems on the road. If an epidemic occurs, how to prevent and control it to avoid its spread. To the north...
These are all issues that require communication between her as a lord and various important functional departments in the empire center to properly handle them.
Under normal circumstances, if Purficott wants to pursue more efficient solutions to these problems, the most suitable occasion is a royal meeting where the top leaders of various relevant departments will also participate.
And because the people participating in the imperial meeting are all important figures in the empire, when these people gather together, it is naturally easier to coordinate among the many departments.
Through the coordination of these relevant functional departments of the empire, Perficott was able to complete the preliminary work of this matter.
Regarding subsequent resettlement issues, because this group of people were relocated to the northern border, which was the territory that Perficott had the final say on, there was no need to argue with these government departments.
After all, Purficott’s own fiefdom is whatever she says it is. On the contrary, there are not so many constraints, and she can better utilize her advantages.
As for how these 500,000 people will be relocated in the end, according to Purficott’s plan, all of these people will be invested in infrastructure construction in the north.
There will be a larger flow of people next year. If you can't handle the 500,000 yuan, how can you handle the subsequent tasks?
Perfect understands this very well, so she plans to let these 500,000 people build more shelters first, instead of stuffing them all into the already established industrial system that has begun to take shape.
Regarding Purficott's decision, other important officials of the empire expressed their disagreement. Again, there were too many people.
You must know that the subsequent migration to the north is related to the future life and death of the empire. The current settlements and underground shelters in the north alone can accommodate 500,000 people. It is already very large, and there will be more in the future. With a larger number of immigrants, there is no way to accommodate such a large population without extensive construction and construction of more shelters.
So, if you want to relocate the population in the north, you must first solve the four traditional problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
