The ice and snow melted, and the Northern Wasteland 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 snow and ice completely melt, the road from the northern provinces to the Northern Wasteland will become muddy and difficult to walk. Therefore, experienced caravans will set off some time in advance.

After entering the North Wind Duchy, the road is completely different. North Wind Duchy has a special hobby for road construction. They connect all the cities in the North Wind Duchy with stone roads. According to them, This is the official way.

Beifeng Duchy’s official road is very extravagant, yes, it is luxury. According to Old Hahn, it is completely expensive. The average width of Beifeng Duchy’s official road is six meters, which can easily run four carriages in parallel Other countries on the continent are not comparable to roads in many cities.

As the ice and snow melted, the immigration work to Beifeng Duchy began again. According to Suren’s idea, Beifeng Duchy needs at least one million people in the short term, and at least 10 to 20 million people are needed to develop Northern Wasteland. population.

This is a long-term task that may last several decades. In addition to the population immigrants here in Northern Wasteland, deepwater cities have also opened immigration routes. The countries in the southern seas have developed rapidly because of the warm climate, developed commerce, relatively stable society, and high food production. 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 was no large-scale factory, and it was unable to absorb too many people. The amount of land was also very limited. , The nobles would 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, wanting to fight. After all, the sailing technology of this era is very dangerous every time it goes to sea.

But even so, there are still a large number of people who cannot be resettled, and these people have become a hidden danger to the stability of the city. After Suren discovered this, he ordered Deepwater City to go to those places to promote immigration in a planned way.

Anyone who is willing to immigrate to Beifeng Duchy, as long as they work for Beifeng Duchy for three years, they will get ten acres of farmland, and in addition to these ten acres of farmland, the government will build them a house, and they also own wasteland With the right of 50 acres, 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 Suren didn’t offer better terms, it was because the terms you gave were very good. Others didn’t believe you and would only think that you were a liar. If you say anything, as long as you leave him, he will give you 50 acres of land, a house, and tax exemption. Then they get on the ship, leave the port and sell these people as slaves.

This kind of thing has happened many times before. The ship is no better than on the land. When you get on the ship, it is what people say. At the beginning, many slave merchants used this method of deception to get rich. 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 Deep Water 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 found 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 It is entirely a factor of instability, and I deeply welcome the willingness of these deep-water cities to accept these refugees.

At the same time, the officials of Deep Water City also stated that sugar, Toilet Paper, and rum can be exchanged. When I heard that they can exchange these short-selling commodities for those who are useless and even affect the stability of the society, those nobles They went crazy and 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, and they were transported in just one day. Six to seven thousand immigrants.

With the deepening of this cooperation, the number of immigrants is also rapidly increasing. On average, Deepwater City can emigrate 120,000 to 30,000 people in one 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, and then distributed to Jinghu City and New City by Zhenbei City.

The arrival of a large number of people made Zhenbei City feel pressured. Various living materials were quickly consumed. The most important thing is food. Fortunately, Suren has always been very concerned about it. Zhenbei City stores a lot of food every year.

It is also because of these grains that Suren dares to emigrate such a large number of people. Because of the harvest altar in Zhenbei City, the grain yield is very high. Its Central Plains beans can produce two to three thousand catties per acre. In Zhenbei City, Suren has planted 500,000 mu of potatoes. The output of potatoes alone is enough for one million people to eat for a year. And potatoes can be planted for two seasons in the north wind duchy here.

In addition to the fishing catches around Zhenbei City and all kinds of beef and mutton, 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 a large number of people has also brought about many problems, such as insufficient housing construction and a serious shortage of grass-roots officials, and with the arrival of these new immigrants, the urban environment has begun to deteriorate. These immigrants have no sense of hygiene at all. Urinary and defecation is even more common, and they were originally trained by grassroots officials.

However, the immigrant population is too large, and the manpower in Zhenbeicheng is seriously insufficient. 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 Beifeng Duchy 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.

It’s just that they didn’t expect that Suren would attach such a high degree of importance to city security. After finding that the grassroots officials were short of manpower, he immediately let the troops of Zhenbei City join in to maintain order together.
