Chapter 57 Immigration

Next, Yu Xiaotian inspected the workshops in Danshui City one after another. At present, Danshui City is still under large-scale construction**. Various workshops are constantly being prepared, and most of these workshops no longer belong to weapons, but mostly belong to people's livelihood.

For example, garment workshops, Piliao, brick kilns, lime kilns, carpentry workshops, car manufacturing workshops, porcelain kilns, sugar kilns, grinding workshops, etc., have been completed and put into operation or are still under construction.

However, the serious shortage of labor here at the beginning of last year has basically been alleviated. This is not all because of the result of a large number of forced immigrants from land over the past year. The key is that the sea wolf obtained a large number of slaves through the slave trade, which supplemented this heavy body. In the ranks of labor.

In the past, when sea wolves carried out a lot of construction, they had to draw from immigrants to serve labor everywhere, which was also a common means of the land government, which brought a heavy burden to the people, and even led to many people, because of the hard work of the government faction, they ruined their families and even died of labor. The Chinese family was destroyed.

However, if the sea wolf wants to build a freshwater city, it will inevitably require a large amount of labor. The manpower of the hard labor camp alone is not enough, so it can only take the method of drawing Ding to serve labor.

Xiaotian has still made strict regulations on this matter. The drawing of Ding must be fair. It cannot be relied on the power of large families to bully small households in the same village, do not come out or less, avoid labor, and let the burden of drawing Ding be passed on to the same village and small households.

In addition, it is also stipulated that the duration of labor is limited to three months. As soon as the time comes, the workers will be repatriated, let them go home, and then continue to work, so as to avoid the labor in the family being occupied by sea wolves for a long time, causing their farmland to be abandoned again, or their farmland to be carefully served. It seriously affects their lives.

Moreover, the sea wolf does not completely use these labors for free of charge, giving certain compensation to these people who have been drawn to serve in labor, and the problem of eating is also uniformly borne by the sea wolf. Although the wages are not as high as the craftsmen in the workshop, it is better than the labor force of the land government, without giving any money to labor. , and even the laborers have to bring their own food for nothing.

In this way, the sea wolf's labor is relatively not dissatisfied with the immigrants. There are also some immigrants who are willing to take the initiative to serve labor in their spare time, so that they can earn some money and save some of their rations, because the sea wolf is in charge of the food.

But after all, doing so still has some negative effects on agriculture, especially when the farmers are busy, the workers are not comfortable working and are thinking about the agricultural affairs in their fields.

And the framework of Tamsui City is very large, and there are too many places that need labor. Obviously, relying on such forced labor alone cannot meet their construction needs.

What's more, there is no modern machinery to help in this era. Many slightly larger projects need to rely on human sea tactics and invest a lot of manpower to complete, and human resources are always stuck in the bottleneck of sea wolf construction.

Although the migration is still stable, after all, it recruits immigrants from the land, collects the displaced people and transports them out of the sea to Taiwan Island. Although the government turns a blind eye, it does not mean that they can let the sea wolves do whatever they want.

The government and the court are still very concerned about this kind of thing. This kind of thing can only be carried out in secret and cannot be released. In the absence of disasters, a large number of immigrants are not easy to deal with, and the people are very fond of the land, even if they do not have their own land and rent the land of rich people. As long as they are not on the verge of starvation, they are unwilling to easily change places to make a living. Their fear of the future makes them prefer to stay at home and live a hard life than easily follow the sea wolf to Taiwan Island.

What's more, Taiwan Island's reputation is not good. Even people who know Taiwan Island on land are rumored to be a barren land, full of miasma, and there are also barbaric indigenous people who eat life. Therefore, in general, when it comes to Taiwan, even many poor people who can't even eat will shake their heads and are unwilling to I want to go to Taiwan!

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian came up with a way to solve this problem through the slave trade. Historically, most of the labor needed by Europe before and after the Industrial Revolution and during the colonization were also solved through slave trafficking.

And at present, there is still a serious problem in the territory of the sea wolf, that is, the serious imbalance between men and women. Most of the sea wolves are bachelors, and there are not many people with their families. When some people come to do this, they can't even wear trousers on land, not to mention marrying wives and having children. Several people came to the sea wolf for a meal. At most, it's good to bring their parents. My wife didn't dare to think of it.

There is also such a problem among immigrants. Some bold bachelors have a certain sense of adventure. Anyway, they are not hungry and come to be immigrants with the mood of trying, so there are many bachelors among immigrants.

In the past, these people didn't have enough to eat, and naturally they didn't have a strong demand for women, but now after arriving at the territory of sea wolves, especially those who entered the military system, they are full of food and eat well. They have great physical exercise every day, and gradually become energetic one by one.

When they are in good health and are full, male hormones naturally secrete more, so they begin to think about women, but there are few women on the island, and with strict control, these guys can only rely on their left and right hands to solve the problem.

However, to solve problems with left and right hands, you need to have enough imagination. Some people's points are relatively low and make do with it, but some people's points are relatively high, so it's easier to have problems.

In this regard, the sea wolf used to rely on * to solve the problem. First, someone came to Nanri Island to open a brothel, and then some local prostitutes or free warblers on land heard that Nanri Island had good business, so they tried to take a boat to Nanri Island and spontaneously started business.

Yu Xiaotian also had to pay attention to the matter of prostitution. It is stipulated that all prostitutes who go to the sea wolf territory to do business must receive regular physical examinations. If someone is found to have a venereal disease, they should immediately stop business, either be repatriated to the land or cure the disease first.

However, there are still problems with this method, and some people continue to win the bid. In the sea wolf medical center, when there is no large-scale conflict, sexually transmitted diseases account for a large proportion of the injured.

Therefore, it has become a matter that must be considered to find a wife for the sea wolf, and if the sea wolf can get a wife, it is also of great benefit to the stability of the sea wolf, so that after the family has the concern of their children, they dare not easily defect, even for their own family, he We should also work hard to protect the current territory of sea wolves.

However, women have always been a difficult problem to solve. Through the five years of apocalypse, some immigrants have been obtained. Among them, the proportion of women is acceptable, but there is still no way to solve the problem of more monks and less porridge.

So the slave trade has become a solution to the problem. Last year, the sea wolf released a message to its peers outside that the sea wolf is willing to buy slaves, but if someone frighten the population is useless, it can be sold to the sea wolf. The sea wolf will give them according to the health, age and gender of the slaves. Pay the fee.

And when the pirates themselves attack on land, they will habitually forcibly tie up meat tickets. Rich people will take money to redeem meat tickets, but for poor people who have no money, it is not useful for them to stay. Women will use them as tools and sell them when they are tired of playing. Young and middle-aged men will stay to do some hard work for them, or Forced hostages are actually of little value.

But now the sea wolf is willing to buy these useless meat tickets, which gives its small pirates an additional way to make a fortune. Therefore, in the second half of last year, there were north and south colleagues and began to transport some meat tickets that were not redeemed to Nanri Island and sold to Sea Wolf as slaves.

Sea wolf divides slaves into several levels according to gender, age and health, while young women will also subdivide in price according to their beauty, and then pay cash to buy these meat tickets. Even children who are basically unwanted children will accept them together, but the price is lower, even Some elderly people and sea wolves also accept them at a low price, which is a way to live.

If the sea wolf doesn't want it, these pirates will not be transported back to the land and released. They will simply kill them directly or throw them in the sea, so the sea wolf took these people and saved their lives.

Originally, the Seawolf Council was responsible for this matter. It was not enthusiastic about the elderly and children and did not want these people, but Yu Xiaotian still asked them to buy them at a low price. It was not only because Yu Xiaotian's conscience was too good, but that these old people were good at serving farmland. As long as they ate better, their health The conditions are not too bad, they can do farm work for many years, and they have rich experience, and the yield of farm crops served will be higher.

Needless to say, children are all made. As long as they treat them well, they will naturally become important pillars of sea wolves when they grow up. They are helpless and know little about the outside world. A few years later, even if sea wolves let them go, they will not survive on land. Law can only follow Yu Xiaotian wholeheartedly, which is more conducive to the cohesion of sea wolves.
