Chapter 1173 I want it all

"I am only referring to the framework and basic requirements here. You will negotiate and allocate them to you on your own. The general manager is Barov Mons."

"As for orders." The supervisor quickly stroked his chest.

Roland nodded with satisfaction. After years of experience, Barov had developed the habit of no matter how unreasonable the order sounded, as long as he made up his mind, he would respond and try his best to implement it.

The interrelated structure of the Executive Office is enough to support the resources needed to "concentrate efforts to accomplish major tasks".

"So listen." Roland signaled the Nightingale to paste the prepared white cloth on the blackboard, "First of all, it is for the peer-to-peer migration within the Grayburg King..."

"Oh..." Seeing the content on the cloth, everyone couldn't help but lit up.

I saw that Baibu explained several characteristics of the policy in a graphic and text format, which was concise and clear, and it was clear at a glance. This was the original manual version of the PPT demonstration, and the one who provided technical support was Soloya. As a drawing dog who had been hiding in the design institute, doing PPT fooling Party A was just a basic skill. Compared to the empty talk that was prone to losing key information and boring and boring, this explanation method is obviously more attractive.

The population distribution of gray castle has obvious characteristics of the times. After becoming lords, the great nobles will gradually build a city, and the surrounding land will be divided into subordinate nobles, and so on. With the growth of population and wealth, the consumption of big cities will become higher and higher, so that they are unable to maintain supply, thus transferring this burden to surrounding villages and towns, and eventually forming a situation where most people support a small number of people.

This situation not only limits the size of the city, but also basically solidifies class mobility. Those big cities seem to have a large population and are very lively, but they are just compared with individual small towns. In fact, the population of surrounding towns and villages is much larger than the cities they support.

However, Roland also knew that this backwardness had nothing to do with right or wrong, and was purely caused by low productivity. When the production level did not meet the requirements of change, most of the labor force was firmly bound to the land, and he could only enjoy a few of his output throughout his life, and the rest of his harvest was handed over to the nobles to maintain their decent life in their clothes and horses.

When recruiting refugees in the past few years, the Executive Office also paid attention to the local population changes and made a rough estimate. The final conclusion was that the population of Gray Castle should be between two million and four million. The war between the second prince and the third prince daughter, as well as the plague launched by the church, almost caused a loss of 500,000 to 600,000 people, and also turned the Eagle City in the southern border into ruins. Even so, a large number of people were still scattered throughout Gray Castle, and only a small group of people flowed into the western border.

And he doesn't plan to let this situation continue now.

The distribution and planting of the Golden No. 2 wheat seeds will be achieved in one month, or the arrival of a bumper harvest can be predicted now. High-yield cotton is also fully rolled out in Bishui Port, and it will take no time to transport enough fabrics to all parts of the kingdom. Big cities no longer need ten times their own population to supply supplies. Now a person's output is enough to match the hard work of ten or even twenty people in the past.

In addition, Gray Castle also completed nominal unification, and the power of various places returned to the central government. The fiefdom was no longer the lord's country, but was obeyed by his subordinate administrative agencies.

Now it can be said that all the software and hardware for forced migration are already available, and it is the best time to implement it.

The so-called reciprocal migration is simply to give equal conditions to immigrants to reduce the dissatisfaction caused by forced relocation.

For example, if the relocated person has a residence and two acres of land in the village, then after coming to Wudong City, the administrative department will also divide the same resources for him in the newly developed territory. This will not only speed up the development of the northwest plain, but also effectively alleviate Wudong's lack of manpower.

Of course, no matter how nice it sounds, Roland knew that "force" is its true face, whether it is willing or not, it must leave its familiar homeland and go to a strange city with confusion and anxiety. This process is destined not to be so gentle.

To drive people out of the land, let them go into cities, and to devote themselves to factories is by no means as simple as "freeing from the shackles". This change in history can be called extremely bloody. First, by taking back, encroaching and expelling the land cultivated by villagers, making them nothing but themselves, and then using whips and regulations to limit their whereabouts. Some countries even issued decrees that allow the execution of refugees who had not worked for a long time to force them to join the production.

Although Roland asked himself that he could not do this and planned to compensate him after the migration, the original intention of coercion would not change.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

As for the second cross-border enlistment, it is a foreign version of forced migration.

Unlike the least affected morning light, Yongdong and Langxin both fell in the church's sweep and lost the legal kingdom ruler one after another. According to the information collected by Hill, these two kingdoms have not yet returned to normal. There are many princes everywhere. All the great lords with some strength claim that they have found the private bloodline left by the previous king, and they have become a split state where no one accepts.

In this way, the scheme of acting as a monarch like Chenxi obviously won't work.

"What do you mean... to dispatch the first army?" Barov was slightly stunned when he saw the newly replaced white cloth.

"Do you think those nobles will sit by and watch us 'take' their property?" Roland took a sip of tea and said for granted, "I think they will care nothing except power, wealth and a broader territory, whether it is a devil or a war of divine will. Of course, the truth must be said. As for whether they listen or not, that is another matter."

"I will let them listen, Your Majesty." Iron Axe said seriously.

There is no doubt that cross-border recruitment will be much higher than domestic migration without Gold No. 2 guaranteeing grain output. After a large number of outer people are moved away, the urban ecosystem will collapse due to insufficient supply. This behavior is no different from war. The only difference is that plunder is much less expensive than occupation.

The First Army is the most powerful guarantee for the implementation of the plan.

The population of Yongdong and Langxin combined is about three million. Eliminating those who died in the church war can at least inject 1.5 million fresh labor into Wudong City. This large migration may take several years to complete, but it is the most direct part of the improvement. It is precisely because he has the spare time to extend his hands abroad that he sets a goal for Barov to double within one year or even half a year.

"Your Majesty, do you have specific requirements for these people you call?" asked the general manager, "such as craftsmen, farmers, or literate people..."

There was indeed a similar screening before, but it was a helpless move at that time, but now the situation is completely different.

"No," Roland stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, "I want it all."

"I... understand." Barov wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

"The next one is the last one," he asked Nightingale to replace the last white cloth ppt. "The executive hall should encourage people to livelihood through publicity, tax cuts, rewards and other means. Although it is difficult to see results in the short term compared to the first two policies, it is the most important part of the entire plan."
