Chapter 359 Village Construction Progress
Qu Mao still attaches great importance to Maffei Trani. After Maffei Trani returned from Black Harbor, Qu Mao personally went to receive him and held a special meeting to discuss the topic of commodity trade.
After all, this wave of construction frenzy in the territory of Yi Village, whether the gold coins in the territory of Yi Village can be maintained is the key to how far this wave of construction cycle can go.
Maffei Trani braved the light rain to return to Yi Island, and the weather around the territory of Yi Village did not clear up because of Maffei Trani's return.
The rain that lasted for more than ten days seriously exceeded Qu Mao's expectations, so Qu Mao felt that it was necessary to take Su Yan to check the construction progress of each village.
So Qu Mao took Su Yan, set off from Yi Island, and began to wander around the small villages one by one. He not only checked the progress of the construction of each small village, but also paid attention to the surrendered troops, surrendered troops and leaders obtained from the second batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. The mental state of prisoners of war turned freemen is checked.
Up to now, three weeks have passed since the second batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance formally announced their surrender at the landing advance base at the southernmost tip of the outlying island. , or was taken out by the heroes of Yi Village territory to hunt, fish, or guard construction and production.
After it started to rain, there was no news of the leaders causing disturbances. Su Yan said that the village chiefs organized these leaders to start learning Qu Mao's heroic past, but Qu Mao always felt that it was not very reliable.
There are not many newly-built villages on Yidao, but fortunately, Yidao is relatively small. Qu Mao and Su Yan walked around all of them after only two days of walking. Judging from the construction situation of the visited villages, Qu Mao feels that it is still relatively small. A positive state of mind, after all, Qu Mao and Su Yan will also listen to the opinions of some surrendered soldiers and civilians, and prisoners of war who have been transferred to free people while visiting.
Those who surrendered in the second batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance were only ordinary naval fighters of the second batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, and they did not belong to the same lord. The heroes in the base didn't like the idea of being housed together.
On the contrary, they have certain feelings for the villages they participated in the construction of, and most of them hope to settle in the villages they participated in the construction of.
There are too many free people, and the information Qu Mao obtained by checking the attribute panel is too little, and he can't even see the loyalty. However, since the vast majority of people have this desire, then Qu Mao must consider this situation.
Due to the arrival of the rainy season, each village organizes collective learning activities for idle prisoners of war converted to free citizens, such as learning the development history of the territory of Yi Village, learning the glorious deeds of the lord, etc.
After continuing to wander around the outlying islands for two days, Su Yan gradually discovered some problems, and asked Qu Mao: "My lord, we have built so many new villages, and the construction progress has been pretty good, but haven't you noticed any strange phenomena?"
Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and said: "The buildings are still those buildings, what's the strange phenomenon?..." Suddenly, Qu Mao stopped for a while, then gave Su Yan a blank look, and said, "Nonsense, can it not be strange?
There are hundreds of people in a village, no women, no children, and no old people. Is it not strange for such a village? "
Su Yan suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder the subordinates find it very strange. It turns out that in terms of population structure, they are all young and strong men."
Qu Mao let out a long sigh, and said: "Su Yan, we definitely can't eradicate this strange phenomenon in the short term.
After all, nearly 40,000 of the total population were captured by the first and second invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. Thinking of this problem, I am annoyed to death. "
Qu Maodao: "Some time ago, I gave Kong Ming enough outstanding resident recruitment coupons to recruit 720 outstanding qualified citizens, and the second phase of the Yizhi School recruited 100 outstanding qualified citizens.
Use excellent resident recruitment coupons to recruit 30 excellent-level qualified citizens. Age and gender are not controlled. Why don't Zhang Kai select some male and female excellent-level qualified citizens who are over 40 years old from these citizens? Be the mayor of these new villages.
Even if a village has 5 leaders with excellent qualifications, we have only built a total of 34 new villages, and a total of 170 leaders with excellent qualifications are needed.
It’s better to let these excellent-level qualified leaders use their intelligence and talents to run these villages than the two of us here.
These older excellent-level qualifications may not all be men, and a village arranges five outstanding-level qualified leaders as the village's management personnel, and the village head can also bring a few outstanding-level qualified female leaders to accompany him to manage the village. Not always better.
Sunan reported that there are more young women in Liuwang Principality now, because the previous turmoil caused more young male residents to join the army and die in battle.
In the future, when we purchase citizens from Yancheng Port, they will mainly be women. It should take a few years to adjust slowly. "
Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, although this speed is very slow, the current conditions are only so.
Our total population has reached 64,000, which is less than 36,000 people away from 100,000. Even if the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance does not come, we rely on purchasing more than 1,000 people every month, about It takes 1-2 years to save enough for a total population of 100,000.
But my subordinate still thinks it is a bit risky for you to say that after the total population reached 100,000, you started to formally think about the restoration of Liuwang Principality.
My lord, even though Liuwang Principality has gone through wars, there are still tens of millions of people. If 100,000 people go to fight tens of millions, it is completely like an egg hitting a stone. "
Qu Mao patted Su Yan on the shoulder and said, "Su Yan, I am quite clear about the growth rate of the total population in Yi Village.
Relying on going to the trading city every month to purchase leaders and coming back, and recruiting 5 to 10 leaders every day in the third-tier refugee shelter for us to recruit, I don’t know how long it will take to reach 100,000 people. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, as long as we have enough food in the future, there will definitely be a natural increase in population."
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said: "Come on, Su Yan, free people started to get married only in the second half of last year, how can the natural population increase so fast.
Besides the natural growth of the population, it will take at least 15 years for the children to reach adulthood. "
Su Yan smiled and said: "My lord, we can afford to wait. As long as there is hope for the restoration of the country, what does it matter if your subordinates spend 20 to 30 years waiting?"
Qu Mao said disdainfully: "Damn! Su Yan, after 20-30 years, you will become an old girl."
