The super lord of the island

Chapter 152.
On the dirty and smelly street, everyone was silent.

Seeing that no one walked out of the team, Hasen nodded in satisfaction, and he can take this batch of 'goods' to deliver business to Jialan.

"Very good, then follow me to the port to board the ship, don't get left behind, because I prepared a piece of food for each of you on the ship, it would be bad if you missed it."

A team of 200 people walked quietly on the street, attracting residents to wait and see. From their tattered clothes, they were all poor people. Occasionally, a few looked decent, but their sallow and emaciated complexion could not deceive people.

The team passed through the bustling neighborhood and came to the port to board the ship. The Tuna soon set sail and sailed away from Gemu Island.

This scene was seen by the senior management of the city hall in the bustling neighborhood.

……

……

In the spacious and bright large independent office, Consul Sapp stood in front of the window, smoking a cigar in his mouth.

"My lord, this is the second batch they took away. They are all poor people. The destination is the Lightless Island."

Behind Sapp, a female secretary reported the latest situation, and on the reception sofa a little further away, another official who seemed to be of high rank also spoke.

"Mayor, there are only [-] to [-] residents in Mulun Town, so let Hasen take them away like this?"

"Hmph~ I really hope that they will take all the poor away, so that the old slum areas can be demolished and rebuilt. By then, not only will they be able to make a fortune, but their political achievements will also be much more glorious."

Sapp obviously had a long-term view, and Hasen had paid the immigration fee, so there was no reason to stop him. But even so, Wuguang Island, which has been too popular recently, has come into the sight of Gemu Island's high-level officials.

Gemu Island is the closest island to Wuguang Island, with a land area of ​​5 square kilometers. It is controlled by the Amethyst family. Although its economy is mediocre, its importance ranks among the top three among the thirteen islands.

There are eight towns and twelve villages on the island, and the total population of residents is close to one million.

Among them, Mulun Town is built near the port, and is a typical port city. Although the number of residents is the least, the business transactions are in the forefront, and there is plenty of money.

This also reflects Sapp's ability from the side.

"You mean we're going to send someone to establish a relationship?"

"No need, he is a serious baron. We are just officials. We went to the plain dwarves. To establish a relationship, at least the chief consul should go, but it's not our turn."

"Lucky boy, how enviable."

Hader, who was sitting on the sofa, drank the red wine in his glass, gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to eat Jia Lan, whom he had never met, alive.

Seeing Hader like this, Sapp smiled coldly.

"Sometimes being too lucky is also a sin. The original intention of the family was to let that kid die on the island, not to let him grow into a real baron."

"What do you say! Do the clan elders have an idea?" Harder suddenly got up and asked.

Unexpectedly, the appetizing Sapp said that this was just his own guess, vaguely asking Harder to wait for the follow-up development.

……

……

Two days later, the Tuna, which was fully loaded with passengers, arrived at the port smoothly. Mag, who had learned the news in advance, had already arranged manpower to wait at the pier to receive the poor.

Follow the same receiving process as last time.

Body search→arranging the appearance→cleaning the body→distributing new clothes→eating in the cafeteria→recording personal files→allocating housing.

Those with minor illnesses would be sent to the pharmacy for free treatment. This was Weiss' idea. Fortunately, the city hall retained this benefit, otherwise Su Gezhen, who had swollen ankles, would have been useless.

After all the procedures were completed that day, these poor people basically felt at ease, and they waited for the various departments of the city hall to select people for posts.

As for the jobs in Aurora Town, the last batch of 500 people basically just filled the vacancies in the labor force and maintained the existing resource development.

And this group of newly arrived poor people can be regarded as an important labor force that drives up resource output.

Busy until the evening, Consul Mag came to Aurora Fort and asked to see Jialan.

"Master, the quality of this batch of immigrants is good. This subordinate has already completed the delivery with Captain Hasen and paid 20 gold shells."

"Well, I didn't expect Hasen to be quite reliable in his work."

Jialan guessed that Hasen might have screened the poor. Although this practice was unfair to other poor people, Aurora Town was the beneficiary, so he approved Hasen's behavior.

"Then how do you think these positions should be arranged?"

"Hmm... The task of building the territory in the future is very heavy. Arrange more manpower for the construction department and the collection department, and others are optional; by the way, tell Karl for me that the number of corps has to increase, at least one hundred resident privates."

"It's so much."

Mag was a little surprised, but only surprised, no matter what Garan said, he would faithfully do so.

But there was reason for his surprise.

There are currently [-] privates and [-] recruits in the Corps. If we continue to add [-] non-productive soldiers, the proportion of soldiers will greatly exceed the standard for Aurora Town, which currently has a population of less than [-].

If the manpower alone is not bad, the weapons and equipment for the soldiers are the most expensive. A set of the most common hunter leather armor with a long sword and round shield for a standard soldier suit costs 25 gold shells.

One hundred sets are 2500 gold shells, which is equal to 25 magic shells, which is approximately equal to the income of a baron lord who owns an island territory for two and a half years.

If the territory is poorly managed or the resources are poor, it may take four to five years or even longer to get so much money.

In addition to equipment, soldiers also need to pay salaries, daily training wear and tear, etc., which are extremely expensive.

"It's okay, the castle will bear the money, and the city hall can do its job well."

As he said that, Jialan took out 20 Mobei assets from the system and handed them to Mag, asking him to purchase military supplies, and keep more for salary.

After all, with the current income of the municipal government, it is true that it cannot afford the financial resources to support the army, and needs to pay for the training of the army.

Of course, his purpose of doing this is to deal with the complicated situation that Wuguang Island will face next.

From the opening of the tourism business to the large number of immigrants now, it is impossible to hide all kinds of behaviors from other people's eyes.

In fact, from a further point of view, when people find that the lightless island has returned to normal and is occupied by a small person without the slightest foundation of power, the crisis is doomed.

In the beginning, it was not that Jialan didn't think about becoming obscene and procrastinating, delaying the time for the island to be exposed to the outside world, but this approach limited his strongest krypton gold ability, which was equivalent to spending both arms at his own expense.

He was not foolish enough to think that he would be able to live in peace and stability as a baron nobleman.

After Mag left, there were no other outsiders in the castle, and Irina sat next to Garan, leaning quietly on the man's shoulder, enjoying a moment of tenderness.

"Nana, I don't have much time left, but it doesn't matter, what should come will eventually come, and no one can stop the growth of Aurora Town.

Not for the monsters in the lightless forest, not for the spies of Vauxas, not for others... let alone! "
