Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 277 Two jobs
The second group of pioneers did not come directly to the fjord like the first group. Although this area is currently the most developed area in the North, the development of the North is not "slow" along the already developed areas. of outward expansion, at least not in Purficott’s plan.

There is no limit to the development itself, but if you want to spread the construction of shelters in the northern border as much as possible in the shortest possible time and build more shelters, you must build as many settlements as possible and move the settlements The area is wide enough.

Because every settlement will be a shelter in the future.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Purficott to let them land in the fjord, but to let them open up a second landing point. In this way, they can develop the first landing point and the second landing point in the fjord at the same time. At least double the speed of expansion.

If Purficott had not calculated that the upper limit of manpower and material resources in the north was limited, she would even consider opening the third and fourth landing points.

However, if the two landing points are spread out now, it will be enough.

Two landing sites are rolled out at the same time. Even if each expansion is only from one to two, based on three months to build a new settlement, two years is enough to roll out more than 200 new settlements. .

Not to mention that it is impossible in Purficott's plan to expand each settlement from one to two.

In that case, the efficiency is really low.

Although there are more than 200 residential areas, each with a population of 4,000, these two hundred residential areas can house nearly one million people.

Therefore, Purficott must think about how to obtain enough population to build the northern border.

But the actual situation is probably that one settlement cannot accommodate four thousand people at all, and it is also difficult for the empire to transport nearly one million people from the mainland to the north in just two years.

It's not that shipping can't be done. For the empire's shipping companies, it's easy for one ship to transport thousands of people. It's not difficult to make hundreds of ships in two years.

But for now, the North as a newly opened colony is still very attractive to the empire. Otherwise, Robert, who is far away in Langton, would not be able to organize the second batch of pioneering groups.

If the news of the doomsday is announced, it will be easy to say, and it will be hard to get a ticket to go to the north.

The real difficulty is how to get so many people, and make them willing to leave their hometowns and move from the relatively affluent empire mainland to the poverty-stricken northern border.

But before the news is revealed? Sorry, what kind of remote country is the North? Does it deserve to be compared with the mainland of the Empire?
Although there are indeed some people who cannot live or stay in the empire and are willing to come to the north to change the environment and develop, after all, these are only a small number, and it is impossible to reach millions of people no matter how you calculate them.

According to the telegram he sent back to Langton, the number of registered people who are willing to join the pioneering group and come to the North has exceeded 30,000 people. The second batch of pioneering groups organized by Robert took into account the receiving capacity of the Northern Territory. The problem is, there are only about 3,000 people in total.

In Purficott's plan, this group of people will focus on building the second landing point. After it is built into a town, subsequent pioneers will mainly land here, and then head towards the north in units of 500 people. The inland expansion continued to open up new settlements.

As for the fjord town on the Eagle Beak Cliff side, they will naturally not give up. However, considering that fjord town is further north and has a harsher climate, it will not be the focus of future construction. And one thing that needs to be considered is that Eagle Beak Cliff has now become an important scientific research center in the north. It will be very important in the future. If it is too close to a residential area, the impact of something going on will be huge. .

Of course, this is not the focus of construction. It is compared to the second landing point. Perfectkot is now worried about the insufficient number of settlements in the future. It does not deliberately control the expansion of Fjord Town. It is just relatively It's just not that supportive.

As for the second landing point, although it is still a barren tidal flat, considering that it will be the first stop for pioneers to land in the future and the future capital of the northern border, one can imagine how promising it will be in the future. Prosperity.

Although this prosperity may only be temporary, when the final winter comes and the ocean freezes, this landing site will also complete its responsibilities and mission.

However, by that time, the supporting underground shelters had been built, so apart from affecting local livelihoods, there were no other problems.

Purficott was too lazy to bother with this kind of problem. On the one hand, it had nothing to do with the immediate priorities. On the other hand, this kind of matter could be left to the civil officials under her to handle, and she, the lord and earl, did not need to worry about it.

"After we return, we will start testing the shield machine and underground construction. The construction of the first shelter must be put on the schedule." Purficott couldn't help but muttered to himself as he looked through the contents recorded in his notebook.

There are so many things that she has to deal with. Even with her memory, it is impossible to remember everything. She can only use notebooks to record various problems that need to be solved as her own. memorandum.

Generally speaking, the things she needs to deal with can be summarized into two lines. One is the reception and resettlement of pioneer immigrants to the north, and the other is the various technologies prepared to cope with the end of winter.

The latter of the two is now being advanced in an orderly manner. Although there are still many problems that have not been solved, with her promotion and the cooperation of the empire, most of the problems can be solved within the expected time.

It can be said that all progress on this line is going according to the expected plan, which makes Purficott quite satisfied.

In comparison, the work of receiving and resettling immigrants from the northern border on the other line is relatively more complicated, because no relevant work has been carried out before, and naturally there is no progress to be made.

Moreover, no one in the Northern Territory could handle this matter before. The civil service system in the Northern Territory could only be regarded as a simple set up. Purficott did not expect them to be able to handle these matters.

But with the opening of Fjord Town and the second landing site, work in this area has also been put on the agenda, and Purficott has to devote a considerable part of his energy to this matter.

Moreover, as civilian officials in the north are gradually recruited and the civilian bureaucracy is gradually established, in Purficott's view, they will soon begin to face a series of tests brought about by the expansion and immigration of the north.

And their performance will determine the direction of Purficott's policy on the management of the northern border from now on.
