Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Last night, Zhou Xu's timely reining in greatly reduced his own damage. He slept until noon and basically woke up.

After washing his face and finishing his meal, he leaned on the chair for a while and felt his physical condition.

Mainly the eyes and head.

The backlash of that thing only lasted a moment. If he gave up in time, the trauma he suffered would not last too long. At this time, his eyes had basically returned to normal.

I'm still a little dizzy, but for now, it's not a big problem and I'll be able to fully recover in two or three days at most.

After finishing his breakfast, Zhou Xu wiped his mouth. Considering his own condition, he didn't plan to make himself too tired today, but he still needed to pay appropriate attention to some tasks that needed attention.

"How has the response been to the immigration issue this morning?"

When he heard the question, Hilke, who was currently serving as a 'secretary', had long been accustomed to this new identity, and now he responded fluently.

"Reporting to your Majesty, according to the latest report sent over, there are currently only fifty-seven people applying to immigrate to Huangsha City."

"..."

This number was even less than Zhou Xu expected.

But there is nothing that can be done. Although Yan Sheng has lost the support of the people, it cannot change that they are new to the Great Zhou Dynasty and have just suffered the impact of the war. The people of Black Rock City still lack trust in them. It's a completely normal thing.

Although these are extraordinary times, trust still takes time to develop slowly and cannot be achieved all at once.

Zhou Xu, who touched Yan Sheng's body yesterday and made a lot of money, is now in a very good mood.

"Anyway, the first batch of immigrants will leave in a week. When the time comes, no matter how many people there are, they will be sent to Huangsha City first."

According to the plan Zhou Xu compiled yesterday, Huangsha City should also develop.

Their engineering team is also very busy within Dazhou, and it is impossible to transfer the entire team here, but he can transfer a few foremen who can lead the team to set up a branch of the construction engineering department here.

This is Zhou Xu's old operation. He also did this when he annexed the lizard people's territory.

The management team is filled by their own internal staff, while the workforce below is recruited locally.

This approach not only avoids the problem of labor shortage within their country, but also solves the job problem for many people here.

You must know that the previous wars, coupled with the famine, have basically paralyzed Blackstone City. Countless people have been cut off from their livelihoods. Now it is estimated that they can only survive by queuing up to receive porridge every day. This city is full of people. At a glance, All are refugees.

Under this premise, if they can arrange jobs for these refugees, they will probably be able to gain the trust of these new people faster.

To some extent, this is a good thing for Zhou Xu.

"Your Majesty, my subordinate has something unclear."

"ask."

In his office in the Lord's Mansion of Black Rock City, Zhou Xu replied without even raising his head.

"Why don't we let out the news that immigrants can get jobs? If they know that they can get jobs and solve the food and accommodation problems, then these refugees in Blackstone City will definitely be willing to go, right?"

After hearing Hilke's doubts, Zhou Xu nodded.

"Yes, in this case, the refugees will definitely be willing to go, but the number of people will suddenly become too many, which is not necessarily a good thing."

"Your Majesty, my subordinates don't quite understand."

At this moment, Hilke's face was full of question marks.

“Isn’t it good that there are many refugees going there?”

"It's good in terms of results, but not so good in terms of process."

Over at Huangsha City, he has decided to build it into an industrial city. Under this premise, whether it is the preliminary project or the subsequent construction of the factories, the labor force required will be huge.

Considering this point alone, it would not matter to Zhou Xu if the entire population of Black Rock City was moved there.

To build a city, he needed no amount of labor.

Not to mention that Blackstone City has now become a frontline city. The fewer people there are, the less unstable factors there are and the more stable the city is inside.

But if he does this right from the start, he will definitely face some troubles in the process.

"Silk, for a large-scale population transfer, we will definitely need to arrange for people to escort and manage it along the way, right?"

"right!"

Silk thought there was nothing wrong with this and nodded.

"After arriving in Huangsha City, the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and jobs of these people must be arranged and managed by someone, right?"

"right."

Silk nodded again.

"But at this stage, the main task of our frontline troops is to garrison Blackstone City to prevent war that may break out at any time. Under this situation, we do not have too many manpower to do these things."

"Taking into account the manpower management issues in Huangsha City, we can send up to 300 people in the first batch. If there are more than 300 people, they will probably not be able to manage them. As for when the second batch of people will be sent, then It depends on the digestion status of the three hundred people in front, the time is likely to be half a month or even a month later."

Having said this, Zhou Xu's face straightened.

"And the current population of Black Rock City is more than 5,000 at least!"

"If we release this news, I believe that the number of people who signed up to immigrate to Huangsha City on the first day will exceed 1,000. This is because the registration staff at the registration office did not have time to record it. Within a few days, the entire city will More than half of the population will appear on the immigration list."

Looking at Hilke who was still obviously unaware of the problem, Zhou Xu had no idea.

After all, Hilke's job is to be a general, and this is something that the internal affairs staff need to worry about.

But since Silk had this doubt, he didn't mind talking about it.

"Once these people sign up, they will automatically enter a waiting state. For those who wait, the time is long, especially when they are in a difficult environment. As the waiting time increases, some people They will start to become impatient, and once similar emotions arise, they may start to blame us in the end, or even cause some riots."

"Ah this..."

Zhou Xu's words made Silke feel incredible, or incomprehensible.

Unlike the population of Dazhou, which has simple folk customs, the population of this country has experienced a lot, so human nature is more complex, and the bad qualities hidden in it are also exposed.

"Instead of that, it is better to maintain the current situation. At least they only need to wait for soup every day. And we have plenty of food in the week, so we can basically ensure that there will be no problems in this area. We can save worry and make it right from the beginning. It's nice to avoid the hassles that might happen and they don't have to suffer through the long wait."
