Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 100 Population is in short supply

Shortly after Ye Limo returned to his residence after sending the guests away, a violent storm swept in.

Thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, big raindrops fell, and the strong wind blew it away. Ye Limo felt that his shed was not stable, as if the thatch on the roof would be blown away by the wind.

Ye Limo stood in front of the window, looked at the big waves on the sea, and said, "I didn't expect the storm to come so quickly."

The steward said: "The weather at sea is unpredictable. However, the sailors under Mr. Commander-in-Chief are all very experienced. I believe this storm will not trouble them."

The ships of Reidao often pass through the devil's sea, which is full of strong winds and waves all year round. Therefore, the sailors' sailing skills should have been practiced.

This kind of weather lasted until the evening, when the clouds cleared up and the rain faded away. The mild sunset fell, and the calm ocean seemed as if nothing had happened.

Ye Limo heard reports from the people below that some people's sheds were blown down by the wind. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but some property was lost.

Some time ago, in order to welcome the guests, Ye Limo arranged for Puller and Hagen to build cabins for the guests, so some people did not live in the cabins.

Ye Limo thought for a while and said, "Based on the loss of each family, we will make some compensation and help them rebuild the shed. Puller should also pay close attention to building log cabins to provide everyone with sufficient shelter."

After the storm, all the cabins were intact, not even leaking, but because of the heavy rain, there was some water outside the house, after everyone worked together to clear it, the water flowed away.

To live in the log cabin, in addition to the qualifications approved by Ye Limo, according to the original idea, labor points are also required.Many people's labor points are not enough, so they are still working, accumulating labor points to repay the debt owed by the cabin.Kind of like paying off a mortgage.

However, Ye Limo didn't calculate their interest, so the task was not so heavy for them.

Sorel brought the chief merchant and others to discuss the newly signed orders with Ye Limo.

There was a celebration banquet tonight, and Ye Limo asked the butler to arrange it first.

Ye Limo sat them down and asked, "Is there any difficulty in executing the contract?"

Sorel said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the contract we signed, if it can be implemented in place, can make a lot of money for Heat Island. However, we don't have enough manpower to complete these tasks. We need people to pick salt , felling trees, planting trees, growing flowers, fishing, etc. But now, there are not enough people to do these things.”

When the contract was first signed, everyone was elated. One big order after another made everyone see the gold coins flying to the hot island. However, when the guests were sent away and the contracts were checked again Suddenly discovered, how do these products come from?The island is indeed rich in products, but manpower is needed to get them out and process them into products before they can be sold.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of population.

The fertility rate on the island is not bad now, and it is not difficult to raise children at this time, not to mention that you can get rewards, and you can get some weight in the distribution of cabins, so the residents are very active in having children.

But children have to grow up before they can become a labor force!Heat Island can't wait that long.

Ye Limo couldn't help knocking on the table, this is really a big problem.

"Do you have any ideas?"

The population of the heat island is increasing, but obviously, it cannot meet the needs of the economic development of the heat island.

Sorel said: "Your Majesty, what we have been insisting on, the refugee admission plan, is indeed a good policy. This policy should attract more people to the heat island."

Although there are always boats of refugees coming to the heat island, the speed is still not enough, and more refugees do not have this opportunity.

Ye Limo said: "Since this is the case, while accelerating overseas commercial trade in the future, we must also expand the speed of accepting refugees. It is best to have some policies that attract them."

Although the refugees were displaced, the Devil Island of Heat Island was well-known. Even if Heat Island accepted them, it is estimated that many people would not want to come to Heat Island because of this long-term impression.

"If you have any good opinions, you can share them." Ye Limo encouraged everyone.

Several people thought for a while, and the person sitting next to Sorel said: "Your Majesty, we can tell the refugees that when they come to the heat island, they will have the opportunity to work."

Having a job means being able to survive. This point can indeed attract some people.

Ye Limo thought it was good, and said: "It is indeed possible. Having a job means stability, and there is food to eat, which will be somewhat attractive to them."

Encouraged, other people also began to speak: "It can be said that the heat island is a peaceful beach ocean, which needs everyone's development."

"Also, if you settle on the island, you can get free treatment for cold and fever."

"We should find ways to attract more women to the heat island. Many men are now without partners and spouses, and this problem needs to be addressed."

As soon as there were many people, after discussions, many different opinions were put forward.

Although some suggestions are not practical, they can inspire everyone to think of more ideas.

After everyone finished talking about the methods they thought of to attract refugees, a person at the end said weakly: "Your Majesty, I think we can transfer the labor force."

When Ye Limo heard this, he felt that this statement was very fresh, and he had never heard such a statement.

"Please explain your method to us."

The man who was a little thin and pale said: "Your Majesty, I think so. Now, the main labor force of the island is participating in the construction of your palace. I think this part of the labor force can be transferred out. Let them engage in things that are more technical and rewarding. And the building of the palace can be handed over to the captives."

Last time Sullivan fought a battle with Byros's navy, defeated the opponent, and captured many soldiers.Although their marshals and important generals were sent back, the soldiers were all captured.

Ye Limo originally planned to use these soldiers as bargaining chips to negotiate conditions with Byros, but he didn't expect that Emperor Seth'an of Byros was a master with a strange brain at all, and wanted to ask Reshima to compensate them.After his talks broke down, he cut off contact directly. Therefore, the more than 1000 soldiers were stranded in the hot island.

With so many people, it's impossible to keep them idle, Ye Limo thought about it, and sent them to the quarry in Poncell to dig stones.

Of course, working in the quarry is very hard, but Ye Limo also said that the captives are not allowed to be abused, as long as they work honestly, they cannot be beaten or scolded at will, let alone hurt them.

The captives are definitely not willing to work hard, some want to escape, some want to commit suicide, they cannot escape, the heat island is so barren, if they run into the rainforest, there is only one dead end.Those who committed suicide did succeed in a few.After Ponsell comforted him once, his mood became much more stable.

According to this person's meaning, it is to replace the people who built the palace with captives, and now the people who built the palace will undertake the work of producing and processing contract products.

Ye Limo thought about it, this method is very novel, but the feasibility is still good.

The recruitment plan for refugees is uncertain. It is not known how many people will be recruited in the end, but the people on the island do exist.

Formulate good policies to make these jobs easier or better paid than building palaces and other buildings. I believe many people are willing to change their jobs.

"What's your name, sir?"

He hurriedly said, "My name is Lianke, Your Majesty."

Ye Limo nodded: "Your idea is feasible, do you have a more detailed plan?"

Lian Ke said with some shame: "There is no detailed plan, Your Majesty."

Ye Limo changed his posture and said, "It's good to be able to think of this method. Now, we can discuss how to formulate a detailed implementation plan based on the methods we thought of."

All the people here, except Sorel, are quite envious of Lenko, because His Majesty specially asked his name, is it because he appreciates him very much?

If you can get the appreciation of His Majesty the King, you will definitely be able to be promoted more smoothly in the future.

When Sullivan and others arrived, Ye Limo and others were still in a meeting.

When Ye Limo and the others finished their meeting, the sky outside was already full of stars.

Bringing Soler and his party to the restaurant, Ye Limo apologized to everyone first and said: "I'm sorry everyone, we are late, we are discussing the population plan of the heat island. Please take a seat."

After everyone was seated, the butler began to serve the dishes.

Ye Limo picked up the wine and said: "These days, everyone has worked hard. Because of our solidarity and cooperation, this chamber of commerce has been very successful. We have successfully signed many orders, laying a good foundation for economic development in the coming year. foundation. Cheers to our own efforts and success."

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "To His Majesty the King!"

Ye Limo nodded, and everyone drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, everyone began to eat.

Now the heat island has produced a lot of rice, so rice has become more and more common to everyone, and everyone is slowly changing their eating habits with the development of the heat island.

The rice produced by the heat island is longer and larger than the rice Ye Limo has eaten before, which should be due to the natural conditions of the heat island.

At the dinner table, everyone also chatted about the Chamber of Commerce this time, and they all felt that it was very successful, but there were some problems in how to realize the signed contract.

The people present also expressed their opinions, hoping to come up with a good solution.

"In my opinion, for a heat island to become an attraction for people, it needs to be a place where everyone can make money," Yerimer said. "Any place that attracts people is because people believe that they can live there." Even better. Although the reputation of Heat Island has changed because of Cinchona, it is still a primitive and backward place in everyone's mind. Therefore, everyone will not be interested in it. If we become a place where everyone can make money In order to attract more people to the heat island.”

Everyone felt that Ye Limo's words were right.

When people yearn for a place, it must be because they feel that there is a life they yearn for.
