Mountain and Forest Kingdom
Chapter 663: Trade-offs
For the Star Country, which has a low historical background, this is not a difficult choice.
"The prophet's arrangement is better. I agree to arrange those useless women to other towns to make room for young children."
Rao agreed with the prophet's plan No. 2.
Compared with the decision to drive away men, driving away women is definitely easier to get support.
Going to the battlefield to die is for men, and you can't let men leave their homes, right?
Even in the civilized world, most women marry out.
Morality cannot change the trend, nor can it make vested interests give in.
Stella's moral standards are much higher than most people in this era.
"I object!" The elf policewoman stood up to fight for equality for human women, "Why should women leave their hometown? After they go out, what ability do they have to survive?"
Elf bridge expert Solas stood up to oppose Stella's objection.
"If women are not allowed to leave, will those workers who work and men who fight for their lives be allowed to leave?"
Stella's moral level is still too high. She can't reason with others by being unreasonable, so she often can't speak whether she is reasonable or not.
Lawrence raised his hand and motioned for both parties to sit down and calm down.
Since the decision had been made, Lawrence thought about how to reduce the impact.
"I can give some time. I allow some women to remain single, but their singleness is based on my blessing, and they must contribute to protecting their country and me."
"Either find a man to marry, or show strength, and show their role in literature, art, technology, agriculture, urban architecture and many other fields that I value."
"If they still can't find a partner or make achievements after six months, then I will think that these women are not good enough and can't find a satisfactory marriage partner in the ice land. I will send them to live in a town fifteen days away."
"If they are good enough, then I allow them to remain single and childless. This excellence is reflected in many aspects, even if they can cultivate three acres of land alone and do housework diligently, women with jobs will not be driven away."
After hearing Lawrence's request, Stella said in astonishment: "Then all women can stay, and no one can be driven away."
Lawrence didn't know how to explain the specific things. Even in this era, there are a group of lazy women.
"This is how it's arranged."
Lawrence decided on this matter and came up with other solutions to the population problem.
"We can build our buildings higher. The earliest buildings were all old houses built more than ten years ago. These old houses are all in the central area. They are in the way, not warm, and prone to accidents."
"It just so happens that there are more and more people in Dumu Port in recent years. Let unemployed people join the construction team and build taller buildings under the leadership of experienced craftsmen."
"The new buildings have a minimum of six floors and a maximum of ten floors. It is easier to heat the population together, and it is more convenient for work and travel."
"Daily food is mainly bakeries and restaurants. There is a kitchen on each floor of the building, which mainly burns coal."
Lawrence solved the easiest housing problem, because the land here is his own, and the population here are all his slaves, so there is no problem of being unable to move, and there is no need for compensation.
The most difficult problem to solve is the water resource problem. The drinking water problem of hundreds of thousands of people is definitely a big problem.
There is a coal mine layer under Dumu Port, and it is impossible to dig a well.
This place is not suitable for too many people to live here. Even if some ditches are dug for drinking water, it cannot solve the increasingly serious population and drinking water problems.
Fortunately, most people don't have the habit of taking a bath or washing clothes once a day. They usually drink alcohol, which saves water more than civilized people to a certain extent.
The industrial city that needs water the most is built in the City of Waterfall. There is a wide river outside the gate of Ironforge, and the stream water of the Agama Mountains is intercepted in the town of Pumice. Only Dum Port has no place to get water and cannot develop industry.
"Can we build a super large reservoir in the nearby mountains?"
Lawrence came up with a huge plan that could not be implemented in the ordinary world.
This kind of thing was difficult to achieve in ancient times, but the wizards in front of Lawrence nodded quickly after a little thought.
"Yes, but it will take a lot of time. At least ten wizards will work together for several months." The wizards gave an accurate reply.
Lawrence himself dug out the Winged Harbor with a group of people and wizards, so he knew very well that this kind of thing could be done.
"Then let's arrange it this way. As long as we solve the problem of drinking water, the rest of the problems will be much easier to solve."
"Find a good place to dig. It doesn't matter if it's far from Dumu Port. It can be one or two kilometers away. In the next few years, I will upgrade the canals and pipelines to allow water from far away to enter Dumu Port."
"But some people do need to be arranged to the Ice Port and the newly built port. They can also go to the Snow Mountain Castle where I live. They are mainly young couples with children. Only young couples who have lived here for more than ten years will be accepted."
"Both husband and wife are required to meet this requirement. I will personally review it and prohibit people from divorcing for immigration!"
Lao and others have recorded the prophet's arrangements.
The last requirement seems to be met by many people, but it is actually a more troublesome requirement.
Because some ice warriors have married women from foreign countries.
Many young and beautiful women from foreign countries are very enthusiastic and proactive in order to stay in the God-given land and enjoy the blessings.
For barbarian men who can only fight, they basically cannot resist this temptation and easily become the providers of these foreign women.
On the contrary, some people at the bottom prefer monogamy. Whether men or women, they hope that the other party will take care of the family and not mess around.
The requirement that both husband and wife have at least ten years of life experience directly eliminates most warriors and noble heirs. The descendants of these people generally marry multiple women.
Lawrence not only drives the population to bad places, but also carefully selects a group of people who are willing to work to go to Snow Mountain Castle, and selects a group of noble descendants who are difficult to manage by ordinary people to live in Oak City.
Oak City has also expanded a lot, and because Lawrence took people away from Oak City and only went back for two or three months a year, a lot of places were vacated.
Solving the problem does not rely on a single method. Lawrence uses various methods to solve the pressure caused by population at the same time.
As long as these problems are solved and the difficult times are survived, the huge labor benefits brought by these people will make the country more vigorous in a few years. (End of this chapter)
