My Empire War Game

The ice and snow melted, and the northern wilderness became lively again. The caravans who had endured the winter began to pack up 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 ice and snow completely melt, the road from the northern provinces to the northern wilderness will become muddy and very difficult to walk. Therefore, experienced caravans will set off some time in advance.

After entering the North Wind Duchy, the roads are completely different. The 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 road. road.

The official roads of the North Wind Duchy are very extravagant, yes, they are extravagant. In Old Hahn’s opinion, this is a waste of money. The average width of the official roads of the North Wind Duchy is six meters, and four carriages can easily run parallel. The country is unmatched by the roads in many cities.

As the ice and snow melted, the migration to the North Wind Duchy began again. According to Su Lun's thinking, the North Wind Duchy needed at least a million people in the short term, and at least 10 to 20 million people were needed to develop the northern wilderness.

This is a long-term mission, possibly lasting decades. In addition to the population immigration here in the northern wilderness, an immigration route has also been opened in the city of deep water. Because of the warm climate, prosperous commerce, relatively stable society, and high food production, the countries in the southern sea area have developed rapidly, and at the same time, the population of these countries has increased. fast.

But not all the good natural conditions and the environment bring benefits. The productivity of this world is only around the Middle Ages. There are no large-scale factories, and it is impossible to absorb too many people. The amount of land is also very limited. The nobles Instead of spending more money to hire more farmers, the result is that these countries have a lot of idle people.

In order to make a living, many people choose to become sailors or pirates and want to fight. After all, the navigation technology of this era is very dangerous every time they go 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 Su Lun found out about this, he ordered Waterdeep City to go to those places in a planned way to promote immigration.

Anyone who is willing to immigrate to the Northwind Principality will get ten acres of farmland as long as they work for the Northwind Principality for three years. In addition to the ten acres of farmland, the government will build a house for them, and they also have 50 acres of wasteland. The right to farmland acquired by land reclamation is exempt from taxation for three years, and only half of the tax is charged for five years.

As for why Su Lun didn't offer better terms, it's because the terms you offered were so good that others wouldn't believe you, they would only think you were a liar. He said that as long as he leaves, he will give you fifty acres of land, a house, and tax exemption. Then get on the ship, leave the port and sell these people as slaves.

This kind of thing has happened many times before. On the ship is no better than on land. On the ship, it is just what people say. Back then, many slave traders used this method of deception to make their fortunes. At the beginning, when the immigration ships from Deep Water City came to the southern waters to recruit immigrants, they offered very good conditions, but very few people came to sign up, and many of them didn't come after signing up.

After seeing this situation, the immigration officials in Waterdeep City were also confused, and even raised the immigration conditions again, but the result was that fewer people came.

The immigration officials who didn't understand the situation finally found some people familiar with the situation as consultants, and with the help of these people, the immigration standards were lowered, and the immigration was successfully carried out.

Now the immigration officials in Waterdeep City have gone a step further. They are now cooperating with the nobles of the cities in the southern sea area. These nobles are basically powerful nobles in the local area. As a factor of stability, the willingness of these deep water cities to accept these refugees is greatly welcomed.

At the same time, the officials of Waterdeep City also said that sugar, toilet paper, rum and other things can be exchanged. When they heard that they could exchange these in-demand commodities with refugees who were useless and even affected social stability, the nobles immediately went crazy. Crazy, directly dispatch the army to arrest people in the territory.

The immigration waterway in Waterdeep City was busy quickly. At the most, sixteen ships arrived on the waterway in one day. About four hundred people were loaded on board every day, and six to seven thousand people were transported in just one day. migrant.

With the continuous deepening of this kind of cooperation, the number of immigrants is also increasing rapidly. On average, 120,000 to 30,000 people can immigrate here in Deep Water City every month.

After these people came to Shenshui City, except for a part of them stayed in Shenshui Port to support the construction here, the rest were sent to Zhenbei City, and then distributed to Jinghu City and Xincheng by Zhenbei City.

The arrival of a large population made Zhenbei City feel the pressure. All kinds of daily necessities were consumed rapidly, and the most important thing was food. Fortunately, Su Lun has always been very caring about him, and Zhenbei City stores a large amount of food every year.

It is also because of these grains that Su Lun dared to immigrate in such a large number. Because of the Harvest Altar in Zhenbei City, the grain output is very high. Among them, one mu of potatoes can produce two to three thousand catties. In Zhenbei City, Su Lun Lun has planted 500,000 mu of potatoes, and the output of potatoes alone is enough to feed one million people for a year. Moreover, potatoes can be grown here for two seasons in the North Wind Principality.

Coupled with the catches around Zhenbei City and all kinds of beef and mutton, it can be said that Zhenbei City has sufficient strength to support these immigrants. And as long as they survived the first year, the grain production in Zhenbei City would increase. Basically, there is no need to worry about not having enough food.

However, a large number of population migration has also brought many problems, such as insufficient housing construction, a serious shortage of grassroots officials, and with the arrival of these new immigrants, the urban environment has also begun to deteriorate. These immigrants have no sense of hygiene at all, and defecate anywhere It is a common thing, and it was originally the grassroots officials who trained them.

However, the number of immigrants is too large, and the manpower in Zhenbei City is seriously insufficient. At the same time, many immigrants took advantage of the lack of manpower in Zhenbei City to carry out various illegal and criminal activities.

Many of these immigrants used to be gang members. After seeing the prosperity of the North Wind Principality without any gangs, they were all ecstatic. They quickly contacted their original friends to form gangs, and then divided the territory.

It's just that they never expected that Su Lun would attach so much importance to city safety. After finding out that the grassroots officials were short of manpower, they immediately asked the army from Zhenbei City to join in to maintain order.
