Chapter 638 The Excited Pirate
On November 13, the third year of Tianxuan, with the continuous construction of defensive towers in Yizhen territory, although the landing operations were still fierce, the daily casualties in Yizhen territory were not many, but the consumption of strategic materials was really fast.
In fact, Qu Mao is also very excited these days. On the one hand, the defensive tower strategy has worked, and the momentum of the invasion fleet’s landing operations has been curbed; It didn't bring any extra trouble to Yi Town's territory.
Seeing that three days are about to pass, and these 1 million female residents will completely become the total population of Yi Town territory, Su Yan, along with the internal affairs officers and heroes, and the managers of the islands, are standing outside waiting for resettlement, Qu Mao is very excited.
Qu Mao was excited not only by the 1 million female residents, but also by paying 3 million gold coins to Lai Dima to obtain the 240-square-kilometer territorial blueprint.
The imbalance of the gender structure of the residents in Yi Town has always been a problem that has plagued Qu Mao, Su Yan, and most of the heroes in Yi Town. The imbalance in the gender structure of the residents will lead to many unstable factors in the territory, and it is also not conducive to the population of Yi Town. Natural growth.
Of course, Qu Mao has never considered the problem of natural population growth in Yizhen Territory. Natural population growth will take at least 15 years to form productive forces. The early stage has always been in the investment stage. Of course, it is still good for stabilizing social relations in Yizhen Territory. , but the speed is too slow.
Currently, a few islands in Yizhen's territory don't even have a single female resident, such as Lian Island.
1 million female residents is of great significance to the current stage of the territory of Yi Town. If possible, Qu Mao is even willing to pay another price of 3 million gold coins to let Lai Dima supply 1 million female residents again.
Maffei Trani brings back female residents every time he runs a business, because there is too little female residents in the population of Yi Town territory.
Currently, Maffei Trani is accompanying the vice-chairman of the Silla Chamber of Commerce, Locke Delle, on a tour of the various islands in the territory of Yizhen. Because Sky Island and Lian Island are in the stage of war, there is a big risk of rashly landing on the island. Dangerous, so Maffei Trani did not take Rock Dryden.
According to Locke Deller's introduction, the Silla Chamber of Commerce may be temporarily stranded in the caravans of Jierhou Guobai Port and Liuwang Duchy's Yancheng Port, and they should also bring a lot of female residents. Qu Mao didn't ask the specific number.
With the 1 million female residents of Lai Dima, the population gender structure of Yi Town territory has reached about 6 to 4, which is close to the ratio of male and female residents recruited by using resident recruitment coupons.
If there are a total of 200,000 female residents in the two trading caravans of the Silla Chamber of Commerce, then the **** ratio of the population in Yizhen territory may reach 5.5 to 4.5. Consumption is on par with the past few days.
Even though Qu Mao doesn't care much about the long-term development of Yizhen's territory, he is very clear that a balanced ratio of men and women is beneficial to Yizhen's territory.
At 2 pm on November 13th in the third year of Tianxuan, under the reminder of Lesa Middleton, Qu Mao walked to the east wall of Yi Town and looked at the sea outside the fisherman's village with a binoculars.
I saw strange-shaped ships, led by the warships of the coastal defense fleet of Yizhen Territory, slowly docking at the civilian docks outside the fishermen's village. These ships are generally in the size of giant warships and large warships, but longer than regular warships Longer and narrower in width.
The number of these strangely shaped ships is not many, Qu Mao roughly counted, probably less than 20 ships.
During the remote communication with Qu Mao, Lesa Middleton told Qu Mao that these ships were sent by various pirate families to save face for the naval heroes from the pirate families in the territory of Yi Town.
Soon, Lesa Middleton led a dozen menacing people towards the east gate of Yi Town. Qu Mao thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the lord's cabin.
Less than 10 minutes later, Lesa Middleton led a dozen people into the lord's hut, and asked the fourth-tier guards on guard to inform Qu Mao, saying that the pirate captains were begging to see him.
In the living room of the lord's hut, Qu Mao received the pirate captains. Because they were all from the family of the naval heroes of the Yizhen territory, Qu Mao was very polite to these pirate captains.
Lesa Middleton bowed his hands and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, these are captains who enjoy a great reputation on the sea, and they are also members of their subordinate families.
Including Lord Sylvia's Oshen family, Lord Fuer's Swanpu family, Lord Christine's Sirian family..."
Listening to Lesa Middleton's introduction, Qu Mao saluted these pirate captains one by one. At this moment, Qu Mao found that most of the heroes in Yizhen's territorial navy were from pirate families. At this moment, Qu Mao had mixed feelings in his heart. The recruits are some naval heroes.
After introducing them one by one, Lesa Middleton said indignantly: "My lord, the families of all the lords were very angry when they heard that our merchant fleet was robbed by pirates. As a pirate family with a long tradition, it was actually robbed by younger generations. , at sea this is a joke.
So every family has famous pirate ships that have entered our territory of Yi Town, including the Poseidon of the Ocean family, the Pioneer of my Middleton family, etc..."
Qu Maoqiqi said: "I can understand the feelings of the captains, but the pirate fleet that robbed our merchant ships has a large number of warships, but we only have one or two pirate ships, and there are not even 20 ships in total..."
A bearded captain shouted at Qu Mao: "My lord, don't underestimate our pirate ships, they are all legendary pirate ships from our respective families.
Pirate ships may not be as good as warships in frontal combat, but we are omnipotent and omnipotent pirates on the sea, and the lord can just look at our achievements.
The sea has its rules, and the rules of the sea are the rules of our pirates.
We will follow the rules of the sea and return face for the heroes from our pirate family. "
Qu Mao smiled noncommittally. After all, he was from the family of naval heroes, and Qu Mao didn't want to lose face. With less than 20 pirate ships, it is impossible to defeat the enemy's combined fleet composed of thousands of warships. ?
Lesa Middleton smiled and said to the pirates: "My legendary captains, it seems that our lord doesn't trust you very much.
Since this is the case, then according to the rules of the sea, let's use strength to speak for everything. "
More than a dozen pirate captains saluted Qu Mao together, then turned their heads aggressively and walked out of the lord's hut in Yi Town's territory.
