Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 376 After the Meeting
The imperial conference once again lasted a whole day, far longer than the usual duration of the imperial conference.

This actually has a lot to do with Perfecto. It can almost be said that every long imperial meeting is directly related to her participation.

Of course, this does not mean that the meeting time was prolonged because of Perfectote's arrival, but because she has been in the North for a long time to preside over the doomsday response plan, and the North is the focus of the empire's future, so every time Perfectote comes to attend the royal meeting, there are a lot of things that need to be communicated with the imperial center, which makes the meeting time very long.

After all, on the one hand she had to report the situation in the North to the Imperial Center, on the other hand she had to understand the policy changes of the Imperial Center, and finally she had to discuss and have necessary disputes with the Imperial Center about the decisions made by the Imperial Center and the current situation in the North.

With this set of procedures, it would be strange if the meeting time could be short.

Many people may think that meetings are a waste of time. Endless speeches by leaders and useless bickering have no meaning other than wasting time.

However, in fact, these are by no means meaningless behaviors that have no effect. It’s just that some people do meaningless things during meetings.

For example, when a leader speaks, it is naturally a torturous waste of time in an ordinary meeting.

But in the imperial meeting, every word spoken by the Queen, other important officials of the empire, including Perfecto, contained a lot of information and content. It can be said that every word decided the life and death of countless people.

This is even more true when it comes to their disputes; the implementation of a policy cannot be decided on a whim.

The biggest disaster would be if there were no more disputes in the Imperial Conference and all issues were decided quickly in pursuit of so-called efficiency.

Meetings are boring because the people who attend them don't hold power.

When you hold the power to decide other people's life and death, no meeting will be boring to you.

For Perfect, meetings are not boring, but they are dull and quite energy-consuming.

Even she had to drink some calming tea to replenish her energy while she continued to argue with the imperial officials.

No matter what, Perfectcot is now the lord of the North. Every word she says in the royal meeting concerns the entire North. When she feels that the responsibilities on her shoulders are becoming more and more arduous, it is natural that Perfectcot consumes a lot of brainpower and energy.

Just like this imperial meeting, under Perfectot's insistence, the imperial center approved the plan to start the population migration ahead of schedule.

Although the number of migrating people is not too large, only about a few hundred thousand people, it is still a migration of scale and space.

Almost all of the empire's large cruise ships were requisitioned, and a total of more than a thousand ships of various sizes were put into this operation.

This is actually an important factor why Perfecto asked the empire to carry out population migration in advance.

Considering the global cooling in a year, the whole world may be frozen into ice, so the freezing of the ocean is naturally foreseeable.

By then, it would not be as convenient to travel from the Empire to the North as it is now. Although airships can also transport people, their carrying capacity is really limited. Compared with a cruise ship, an airship of the same tonnage may carry less than one-tenth of the passengers of the other.

Therefore, considering the issue of affordability, it is still the most economical and affordable to use a ship, and it can provide large quantities and satisfy your needs.

You should know that a cruise ship can usually accommodate thousands of passengers, and a slightly larger ship may be able to accommodate three thousand or five thousand people.

Such a ship would certainly incur a loss if it were to transport goods, but if it were to transport people, it would probably be difficult to find a more efficient method.

Just like this operation, one thousand ships of various types can transport at least nearly 100,000 people in just one trip, not to mention that this migration will last at least three months.

According to Perfectot's calculations, even with the most conservative estimate, this operation would bring at least half a million new immigrants to the North.

The eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of 500,000 people is no small matter, not to mention taking care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As the lord of the North, Perfect must consider how to settle and manage these 500,000 people after they arrive in the North, how to ensure that they do not encounter any problems on the road, and how to prevent and control an epidemic from spreading to the North if one occurs...

These are issues that can only be properly handled if she, as the lord, communicates with various important functional departments at the core of the empire.

Normally, if Perfect wants to solve these problems more efficiently, the most appropriate occasion is the royal meeting where the heads of relevant departments will also participate.

Moreover, since those who participated in the imperial conference were all important figures in the empire, it would naturally be more convenient to coordinate among many departments when these people gathered together.

Through coordination with the relevant functional departments of the empire, Perfecto finally completed the preliminary work of this matter.

As for the subsequent resettlement issues, since this group of people were relocated to the northern border, which is the territory where Perfecto has the final say, there is no need to argue with these government departments.

After all, it is Perfectot's own fiefdom, and whatever she says is what counts. Without so many constraints, she can better play to her strengths.

As for how these 500,000 people will be eventually resettled, according to Perfectoct's plan, all of them will be put into infrastructure construction in the North.

There will be even larger influxes of people next year. If we can’t even handle these 500,000 people, how can we handle the subsequent tasks?
Perfect knew this very well, so she planned to have these 500,000 people build more shelters first, rather than cram them all into the already established industrial system.

Other important officials of the empire expressed their dissent over Perfectot's decision. As the old saying goes, there were just too many people.

You know, the migration to the north is related to the future survival of the empire. Now the settlements and underground shelters in the north are already very difficult to accommodate 500,000 people. There will be an even larger number of immigrants in the future. If we don’t build more shelters, there is no way to accommodate so many people.

Therefore, if one wants to migrate population to the north, one must first solve the problems of the four traditional items of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
