Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lack of Manpower? Go to sea and grab it!
"But these are all things for the future, none of this matters now, what matters is to build dams, build docks, mine, build weapons, and farm!"
Kaido continued to whisper to Tom.
"But big brother, we don't have enough people!"
When Ember heard Kaido's words, he frowned and said helplessly.
"Spend money to hire!"
Kaido didn't want to answer directly.
"Boss! In fact, we are running out of money. ”
Quinn scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed at this time, and said helplessly.
"So fast? The money we robbed from those countries at that time, and the taxes we collected from the people, are all running out? ”
Kaido was taken aback when he heard Quinn's words, he didn't expect that it would cost so much money to build a giant dam.
"To be honest, it will last for a few more months, and it will definitely run out by then."
Quinn's brow was filled with sorrow.
"Don't be in a hurry with financial resources, I have my own methods, mainly manpower, what is wrong with our manpower?"
Kaido didn't take money seriously at all, what he had was money, mainly manpower and talents, and the current population of Zu'an was really poor.
"Manpower has also reached the limit, and our entire Zu'an country has a population of only 10 million men, women, and children...... This population has already counted our soldiers, and recently we have re-conducted a large-scale conscription, and our total strength is now as high as 100,000, and the number of security agencies is as high as 30,000. ”
Tom pulled out his manpower table and frowned slightly.
"Although the population of our Zu'an is as high as 10 million, the real manpower that can be used is less than 1 in ten, most of the people can only farm, and there are even fewer technical personnel...... Moreover, most of these educated technicians are aristocrats, and our ten major shipyards in Zu'an have used 100,000 manpower, and the dam construction has reached 300,000 manpower, as well as those who reclaim wasteland, renovate houses according to design drawings, plant crops, and manufacture weapons. ”
Ember followed Tom's words and finished the rest of the conversation.
"So many people? 130,000 people manage 10 million people, and one person guarantees the safety of 100 people? We don't have enough control over Zaun! ”
Kaido suddenly felt a headache when he heard this.
When there is no machine, any part needs manpower to build by itself, the manpower used will be an extremely terrifying number, not to mention that even if there is a machine to help in the previous life, the manpower required to build a dam is also an extremely terrifying degree, just like the Three Gorges Dam, not to mention the technology required, according to unreliable statistics, the manpower used alone is as high as 40,000, and the time is exaggerated for more than ten years.
"Don't you look at how long that dam you're going to build? The upstream one is fine, the downstream one has a total length of 50,000 meters and a height of 200 meters! It's a giant fortress! ”
Ember complained a little wordlessly about Kaido.
"Hiss~ Can this thing really be built?"
Kaido's head was big when he heard it, he didn't expect that he would make a random proposal, his subordinates would build it according to the level of the world's wonders, although he knew that the dam was a necessity, but he didn't know the investment required to build the dam, this is the art industry has a specialty.
"Yes! I bought the blueprint of the dam for 50 million Bailey from the black market. ”
What Ember said next left Kaido stunned.
"Can this thing really work? Besides, anyone really dares to design this thing? ”
Truth be told, Kaido doesn't have much faith in what he's going to build.
"I don't know, the person who received the money is a scientist in the Great Voyage Future Country...... What is it called Vegapunk...... When I told the about my needs on the phone, he sent me the blueprints in less than a day. ”
Ember pointed to the sky and gestured that it was the seagull that had sent him a blueprint.
"What about the money?"
Kaido continued.
"Taken away by the birds...... Morgause is very dark, and it would be good if the 50 million would be 10 million into the hands of that scientist......"
Between Ember's words was disdain for the black-hearted bird of Morgause.
"That's good...... Because it's not worth offending Morgaons for 50 million...... As for Vegapunk? Hehehe...... Begapunk's money Morgaons can't take it. ”
Kaido nodded at Ember and smiled, he was sure of one thing now, that is, if nothing happened, his dam would be built, after all, it was designed by the famous Vegapunk.
"It seems that Vegapunk is also a ruthless person!"
Ember nodded slightly at Kaido, since Kaido said that Morgaons couldn't take Vegapunk's money, then Morgaon he definitely couldn't take it.
"Human and financial resources...... Hehe, it looks like we're going to go to sea......"
Kaido shook his head slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of a good idea.
"Looks like you're planning to get back to your old business, boss?"
As soon as he heard that he was going to sea, Quinn naturally thought that Kaido was going to continue to be a pirate, as long as your personal force was worth enough, then there was nothing that could not be snatched.
"Huh...... It's been four years since the Age of the Sea Pirates began, and maybe it's time to go out and hang out, I wonder if those juniors have come here and come to this new world! ”
Kaido's eyes flashed with a hint of red murderous aura.
"You mean you're going to target those newcomers?"
Ember listened to Kaido's words, and his eyes flashed.
"Do you think that those young people are all young and vigorous, and they all call themselves men who want to become the king of the pirates, wouldn't it be a pity that they don't come to mine and build dams with such energy?"
Kaido put down the wine glass, picked up the mace beside him, and suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, not knowing that he would meet a few people who changed their surnames to Wang when he went to sea this time.
"Educating newcomers? How many people do you plan to take out? ”
As soon as the words of Ember fell, he pulled out the knife at his waist, and he was also a little eager to try by Kaido's words, there is nothing in this world that is more fun than educating newcomers.
"Boss! To put it bluntly, I actually want to go out and educate newcomers. ”
Quinn licked the corners of his mouth gently, and he was especially happy at the thought of being able to bully people.
"This time, I'll take the Asura boy and the hundreds of people under his command enough."
Kaido directly set the personnel arrangements for this time to go to sea to hunt newcomers.
"Huh?"
"Alas......"
When Ember and Quinn heard Kaido's personnel arrangement, they suddenly felt a little bored.
"Whew...... Thankfully, I wasn't allowed to go to sea. ”
Tom exclaimed differently, he was seasick and not good at going to sea.
"That's it, I'll spend a very happy month with the Asura Boys, and by the way, you can prepare a big ship for me, huh...... Just drive my main ship out! ”
Kaido plans to take advantage of this month of going to sea to tame the Asura boy by the way.
"Your main ship? Your main ship can take three thousand people! One of the top warships...... Are you sure you want to get that ship out? ”
Quinn listened to Kaido's words and raised his eyebrows slightly, how many people does the boss plan to arrest this time?
"Get out of here! In fact, it's a little more compact, it's absolutely fine to fit more than 10,000 people, and I'll be back when I'm full...... At that time, our country will have manpower! Those young lads are all in high spirits! One can be used for ten, and some millions, millions, and even hundreds of millions of people can be rewarded for hundreds of people! I hope I can meet enough pirates with hundreds of millions of rewards on my way this time! ”
Everyone prays when they go to sea that they don't run into the most vicious pirates, but Kaido is the opposite, he just goes for the pirates, and he doesn't want the stinky garbage that he has to eat after working for a few days.
