Chapter 22 Immigrants to the East (Ask for Recommendation! Ask for Subscription)

At the same time as the mass exodus from the eastern part of the empire were heading towards Öland Island, a long drawbridge had been erected between Öland Island and the mainland on the other side of the island. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The handrails on both sides of the suspension bridge and the iron chains at the bottom are all made of fine iron, which is extremely strong! Because of the urgency of time, a thick layer of wooden planks is temporarily laid on the iron chain below, although people walking on the bridge will make the whole suspension bridge shake slightly, but in fact, as long as you don't do anything dangerous on it, there will be no danger.

As soon as the suspension bridge was completed, Geraint and Bedwell immediately walked to the opposite bank with a dozen people, set up a dozen temporary tables and chairs next to the entrance of the suspension bridge on the opposite bank, and then ordered people to move a dozen large wooden boxes from the island to the other side, and they didn't know what was in the boxes.

After doing all this, Bedwell walked up to Geraint and said, "Situ said that someone will come here today, do you think someone will really come?"

Geraint looked at the courtyard: "I think this matter is very mysterious, but Situ never says empty words, wait and see!"

Bedwell nodded, looked at the row of large boxes on the ground next to him, and said, "I hope we didn't work in vain to make these things out of the blue!"

Geraint exhaled deeply, and suddenly, he saw a large dense black dot emerging at the end of the ground level as far as his eye could see, at this time, the morning sun had just risen, and through the golden light of the sun, Geraint suddenly saw what those black dots were.

He grabbed Bedwell's forearm at once, and said excitedly: "Bedwell, look!

Following Geraint's gaze, Bedwell rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then exclaimed, "What's going on? Why are so many people popping up all of a sudden?"

Geraint said, "Don't worry about it so much yet!"

After speaking, he turned to the dozen or so people he brought over and said, "Everyone get ready, everyone will have to register their identities for all those who plan to go to the island, and then each person will be issued an identity tag to prove their identity!"

As he spoke, Geraint opened a large box beside him, took out a rectangular wooden plaque about the length of an adult's finger, and said: "Remember, there are two kinds of identity tags, one is issued to those who intend to settle on the island permanently, and the other is issued to those who only plan to live on the island temporarily for a period of time, don't get confused, because this will involve the next land distribution on our island, do you understand?"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Understood!"

Geraint and Bedwell were still not at ease, and after asking everyone a few more words, after making sure that there was no problem, the first batch of displaced people from the east finally arrived.

......

In the evening, Szeto sat in the bamboo hut of his mansion and discussed with John how to develop the island's commerce next.

Since landing on the island, although Situ Jin has not done any physical work, everything on the island basically has to be planned and decided by him, it can be said that without a supreme instruction issued from his mouth every day, everything on the island will not develop so fast!

In the past few months, Situ Jin has hardly slept a good night! The development of the island has just begun, and there are many and complicated things, and a little carelessness may cause irreparable consequences, so Situ Jin does not dare to be careless at all, and he has to think twice about all aspects of things before he dares to make a decision!

It would be easy to say if Situ Jin really understood everything, but he also knew a lot about many things, so he also consulted other people's opinions in many ways, for example, he was a layman in business, so he could only consult John on this issue.

As the population of the island increases, the demand for goods will inevitably increase, and in this way, certain requirements are put forward for the development of commerce! At present, only John has opened more than a dozen trading houses on the island in accordance with Situ Jin's instructions, and for the time being, he can only barely meet the needs of the existing people on the island for basic daily necessities, and if there are many more people, they will not be satisfied!

Therefore, the question in front of Situ Jin can now be said to be very urgent!

John proposed a way to Situ Jin, that is, to attract some powerful businessmen to do business on the island, these big businessmen are very strong in terms of financial resources and strength, as long as they go to the island, they can soon develop some basic commerce on the island!

"But the question is how to draw them to the island?" asked Szeto to John.

John quickly gave an answer: "Boss, in the past few years, I have also met many powerful big businessmen in the business circle of the empire, I can call these people over, but if I don't put forward some business policies that are beneficial to them, I'm afraid they will still not be willing to come to the island to do business!"

Situ Jin looked at John: "John, do you have any thoughts on this?"

John nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw Gerant's face rushing into the cabin with a look of excitement.

"Situ, do you know how many people have landed on the island just now?" Before he could stand still, Geraint said to Situ as soon as he spoke.

Situ Jin smiled: "How much?"

Geraint stretched out a finger: "Eleven thousand two hundred! This is because we have too few people and work too slowly, otherwise I am afraid that on this day, the number of people on the island will reach tens of thousands!"

After saying that, Geraint said, "And as far as I know, there is still a steady stream of people rushing here, and it won't be long before we have a lot of people on this island!"

Situ Jin nodded and asked, "What is the reaction of those who plan to go to the island about you setting up checkpoints at the bridgehead to stop people and ask them to register their identity information?"

Geraint said: "Everyone just thinks it's a novelty, there is no dissatisfaction, and they are all very cooperative with our work!"

Situ said: "That's good!"

After speaking, he asked, "How many of the people who came here intend to settle on the island for a long time?"

Gerante smiled: "Originally, some people were still hesitant to stay on the island for a while and leave, or to settle on the island from now on, when we heard that only those who got the island's permanent resident ID card could get land on the island next, and the vast majority of people chose the latter!"

Situ Jin was not surprised, and said: "For ordinary people, only having their own land can make them truly feel a sense of security!"

After speaking, Situ Jin sighed: "Fortunately, so many of you have come back here from the academy with me, otherwise I would really be too busy all of a sudden!"
