Power and Empire Chapter 1411: Suppression (5)
Normandy coast,
The climate is more pleasant in late autumn and early winter in August. The morning mist in the hills and the wafting earth, with a trace of chill, the horseshoe stepped on the soft soil, with new ideas, the fat man looked at the land under his feet again,
Looking down on the hills, the earth presents a field of autumn colors, full of forests, the endless autumn leaves, like a brilliant sunset, revealing incomparable tranquility and sweetness, the smoke of the war has disappeared. Trace,
The villages that had been burnt down were turned into scarred ruins on the ground. New villages and towns were formed nearby, spreading along the rolling hills along the coast, and several broad commercial roads paved with stones, along The coastline hills all the way to the north, forming a huge network in series,
And these villages are densely distributed in the grid formed by the road, like a dreamlike and unrealistic, the smoke on the grass field is faint, under the orange sunlight, it is like casting a layer of dreamlike thinness on the earth. Sand,
As the Salander Sky Church first succumbed, no one in Salland is still willing to talk about the right and wrong that once happened on this land,
Some Salanders even boldly migrated from across the ocean, hoping to find their relatives here. These people are called "seekers"
The number of people is about 20,000. What they saw and heard on this land was transmitted back to Salander. Salander knows that not all expeditionary forces are not executed, more than half of them The expeditionary army was released after hard labor and was allocated the land according to the latest law, but most people felt shameless returning to China, so they settled here.
The construction of the town is obviously more prosperous than when the fat man left.
With the promulgation of the domestic migration policy, a large number of new immigrants have arrived. Among these new immigrants are merchants. They have brought prosperity to the coast. The coast of Normandy is indeed a natural harbor. The coastline as a whole is concave, and the periphery The reef blocks most of the impact of the ocean tides,
The Empire has completed the construction of two large naval ports in July, and then more than 50 large and small civilian ports have been opened along the coastline. In August, the long coastline is already like a stream of stars. White sails are like shadows, fishing boats, merchant ships, and even military vessels, on this coastline like crucian carp crossing the river, dragging out white water marks on a blue sea,
This rare and prosperous scene on the sea makes the fat man accustomed to seeing the inland scenery next to him. It is so beautiful to see his eyes lit up. This coast is really just like the Vikia Falcon said. It is the purest place of hope. The kind of vitality that bursts from the inside out is enough to make any politician feel heart-stricken. If you can realize your democratic ideals in this beautiful land, even It’s dead and worth it,
I have only seen Bezukaya in the northern ice sea, and it is the first time I know that the ocean can be such a place full of the beauty of life.
"How about, are you satisfied?" The fat man raised his whip and grinned triumphantly at Ducho, who was already looking aside.
"It’s good, but it seems that population is a problem? And the villages and towns are so densely concentrated in the coastal area. After a while, are you afraid of food problems? Li still habitually expresses concern,
" No, the population is small now, and all the food can be self-sufficient by fishing! "The fat man laughed and waved his hand to the guard behind him." As for the future, the new population will increase. Placement in the northern area!"
Guards handed over the statistical form in his hand, and the fat man proudly passed the statistical population report to Duo Select, saying, "Look, two months, the population has doubled, except for the 40,000 garrison in Normandy. The population only broke through the bottleneck of 140,000 in August. I have connected the entire coastline with the six commercial roads. On these commercial roads, 432 new towns have been built and 25,000 immigrants from the empire have been arranged. , The original 30,000 expeditionary forces stranded, and the other 50,000 Salanders who were rescued but did not return to their country,
The other 40,000 people are slaves bought from the Julius family. Most of these slaves come from civilians and tribes in the Northwest. The majority of them are young women, which accounts for percent of men. The 80 Normandy region has solved the problem of the imbalance between men and women in Normandy.
As for the more northerly areas, they are still barren plains, but I believe that all this will change soon! In three years, I want Normandy to have a population of 800,000! Although it sounds unrealistic, I have the confidence to turn this goal into reality! "
"Three years? 800,000!"
Looked at the confident fat man in disbelief. If he hadn't known that the Wikiah Falcon was a genius in government affairs, he would have scorned this promise.
He said with confusion, that is 800,000 people. Even if the empire can use 500 transport ships, it will continue to transport people from the empire. According to the current transport volume, one ship is at most 500 people. It takes only 10,000 people to go back and forth, and it takes at least a few months. It is already next spring, and the cultivation period has already passed. The food problem of this 800,000 population will be a terrible black hole
" This is also what I considered before, but now this problem has been solved. "The corner of the fat man's mouth smiles and his eyes are far away from the sea." I never said that these people are all from the empire, don’t forget, we Most of the land in Normandy is barren, especially in the border areas. Large areas of wasteland are in a state of no ownership. As long as the border restrictions are released, I believe that as long as a flamboyant decree of land reclamation, homesteaders from other surrounding countries will flock. To ~IndoMTL.com~ Normandy’s population can be at least doubled! I didn’t do that before because I didn’t want to disturb the Gaul Empire, and I didn’t want it to deteriorate too much with neighboring countries! "Snatching population from neighboring countries , Is this too. . . . . ! "Choose what was said by the fat man in a daze,
"It's not snatching, it's allocating, re-allocating! The word snatching is used only by the weak!" The fat man did not blush, his heart did not hurt, hòu looked shamelessly like a city wall, raised his hand, and said without hesitation. As long as the governing role of the northwest coast is in hand, I will issue this decree again. It is absolutely justified. If anyone dares to jump with me, I dare to beat him! Otherwise, you will bring me 15,000 Kujit cavalry. Are you here to visit the grass field?"
"Tata" A guard came on horseback with a report in his hand, "Your Majesty, the Admiralty!"
" These guys are really lazy, and only then came to report, "The fat man's eyebrows are slightly frowned. It seems that he already knows what it is,
took a look at the report, the fat man's face was covered with a chill, after a while, he sneered
"Tell the Admiralty that since the other party is so slow to respond, send a warm greeting to the other party! All the cities connected to the waterway will be smashed for me, **, you dare to ignore me!"
" I don’t know who’s going to be unlucky! What do you say you are doing to provoke this pervert! "Looking at the hysterical Vicia Falcon, I can’t help but feel a chill. For this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. )
