Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 723 Immigration Operation

The sky lanterns that were successfully released made Zhuang Mengdie and the others extremely excited. They couldn't sleep at all at the moment, and they simply stopped sleeping later and started to study all night long.

However, Zhou Xu didn't have the energy. After setting off from Green Forest City, he drove for five consecutive days. When he arrived at Black Rock City, he immediately discussed the design of the hot air balloon with Zhuang Mengdie. In order to facilitate the other party's understanding, he even I made a sky lantern on the spot.

He felt sleepy and tired now. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep immediately. When he opened his eyes again, it was almost noon the next day.

After a simple meal, Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to find Zhuang Mengdie.

He had already told Zhuang Mengdie last night about the hot air balloon design drawings he had drawn, as well as some manufacturing ideas, and even the material requirements for each component.

There wouldn't be much progress in one night, and he didn't have any new ideas, so there was no need to make another trip so quickly.

This afternoon, Zhou Xu basically spent his time listening to Shi Lei's report and inspecting the situation in Black Rock City.

There is nothing much to say in Shi Lei's report. Nothing happened here in Black Rock City, everything is safe and sound.

At the same time, during this time, as their reputation among the public continued to grow, and they gradually gained the trust of the people of Black Rock City, the immigration work became more and more smooth.

The immigration of a large number of people not only provides new population and labor force for Huangsha City, which has been emptied of the city, but also reduces the burden on Black Rock City.

At this stage, the people who immigrated to Huangsha City are living a much better life than the people here in Black Rock City.

The reason is simple. If you go to Huangsha City, you will be assigned directly. Ready-made jobs, two meals a day, and accommodation will all be provided for you.

Basically, all you have to do every day is to work hard, and you don’t need to worry about anything else.

On the other hand, here in Black Rock City, wars and famines broke out, and there was no food. Everyone was starving, and the work units in the city also collapsed. After a lot of trouble, the people were left without jobs.

Although the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty have occupied Black Rock City and gradually stabilized Black Rock City, avoiding the impact of the war, the restoration and development must be done step by step.

The famine problem in the city has not even been solved yet. At this time, it has to rely on the internal supply of food aid in Dazhou to continue to survive. The people who stayed behind basically had to live on receiving porridge every day.

Comparing the two sides, life in Huangsha City is simply like heaven.

Regarding this matter, although Zhou Xu did not make it public directly, he did not carry out any confidentiality work. Similar news has recently spread among the common people.

When the people heard this, they were all dumbfounded. They rushed to the registration office and saw the long queue.

I didn’t know, I thought I was queuing up to get porridge there.

Obviously, everyone has already reacted.

There was no time to think about it, so I quickly lined up the queue.

Unexpectedly, within two minutes of waiting in line, a soldier responsible for maintaining order at the registration desk started shouting...

"The quota for this batch has been filled. Those who have applied will wait for notification in the near future. Those who have not applied will be dispersed and wait for the next batch!"

Suddenly, the people complained.

The staff didn't care at all, put away the table and got off work directly.

But the people gathered here were unwilling to leave for a long time.

The main reason is that apart from queuing up to receive porridge every day, many of them have nothing else to do.

At this moment, they feel regretful! Some even knelt down and beat the ground on the spot, with regret on their faces! You know, there was no one queuing up at the registration office here!
When they thought of this, the people at the scene suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.

During this period, after receiving the latest immigration list and confirming the number of people who had immigrated to Huangsha City, Zhou Xu spoke...

"That's almost it. The population of Black Rock City should not continue to immigrate to Huangsha City for the time being."

The purpose of his immigration operation was to disrupt the social structure of the original people here.

If all the people in Black Rock City were transferred to Huangsha City, then this wave of operations would be of little significance.

What he needs is to break up the population even more!
"Next, we will open the immigration to Green Forest City and send the people who want to immigrate to Green Forest City. At the same time, we within the Great Zhou Dynasty can also select a suitable group to send."

Now it seems that spring is about to start. According to the usual practice, they should have started preparations for spring plowing within the week. In addition, they have to continuously transport materials here, which requires a lot of transportation manpower, so The labor force will definitely be in short supply again in the future, so it would be just right to send another group of people over to supplement the manpower.

As for Green Forest City, you can tell from the name of this city that there are large areas of forest resources in the area.

Although it is a border city, due to the large woodland area, Green Forest City is really a city with abundant natural resources.

At the same time, this large forest area also provides many jobs for the people in the city.

Not to mention the other resource collection work within the forest land, the logging work alone is enough to solve the employment problem of a large number of people.

After all, logging efficiency in this era is not very high, and it is also a physically demanding job. If you want to improve efficiency, you have to increase manpower investment.

Under this premise, Green Forest City itself has lumberyards and corresponding wood processing plants.

What they need to do now is just to transfer the population of Black Rock City and let them devote themselves to logging and wood processing.

After all, he is going to start large-scale development and construction next, and he doesn't have too much of such an important infrastructure material as wood.

In addition, the existence of woodland is also destined to have good soil in the Green Forest City area.

To put it simply, it is also suitable for farming and has large fields.

The combination of the two is enough to absorb a large number of external immigrants from other cities.

As for the population of Green Forest City, immigration was opened immediately after they occupied it.

The population of Green Forest City can immigrate to Huangsha City and Black Rock City respectively.

Huangsha City is a city-wide construction project that requires more manpower. Even if another two or three thousand people are sent there, it can still be absorbed. At this stage, most of the immigrants from Green Forest City can go to Huangsha City. , and the rest will be placed in Black Rock City.

As mentioned before, Blackstone City is also a city with good development resources.

According to Zhou Xu's subsequent understanding, in addition to the coal mine, there is also an iron mine here.

Mining work is similar to logging in this era. Whether the efficiency can be improved depends entirely on how much manpower is invested.

This mine alone in Black Rock City can provide a large number of jobs.

While the mining industry is developing here, the land is not as barren as Huangsha City, and it can be considered a city with development potential.
