"To make food easier, we just need to set up more porridge shacks. The main reason is that it is difficult to find a place to live. Not to mention the refugees who have no jobs. Even the workers in the drying and packing yards sleep on the beach."
Tang Xiaobei said: "The most important thing is that more and more refugees are sending messages back, telling their relatives and friends in their hometowns that they can survive in the East China Sea. As a result, the number of refugees in the East China Sea is increasing every day, and it is getting more and more every day.
A month ago, there were only one to two hundred refugees arriving every day. Feifei was still worried about the shortage of manpower after the expansion of the drying yard. In the past three days, more than 2,000 refugees have arrived every day, and yesterday it reached 3,000.
Daqiang sent people to conduct several reconnaissances in airships, and found that several official roads in the direction of the Central Plains were densely packed with refugees heading east. The pilot went down and asked, and found out that they all came to the East China Sea to seek a living.
According to the airship report, in up to ten days, the number of refugees arriving every day may exceed 10,000, and no one knows how long this situation will last and how many people will eventually arrive!"
"So many?" Even Jin Feng was a little surprised.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, are just numbers, but Jin Feng has experienced several large-scale wars and knows what it would be like to gather tens of thousands of people together.
Once there are more than 10,000 people, they will be like mountains and seas, let alone tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
There were so many people standing next to each other on the beach that they couldn't even see the edge.
When there are too many people, all kinds of accidents happen
Then it became more and more.
Once a riot occurs, mutiny may occur at any time.
This is also the reason why Tang Xiaobei came to Jin Feng.
In fact, not to mention Tang Xiaobei, even Jin Feng's scalp went numb when he heard the news.
He knew that the nature of things had changed.
Humans are social animals and everyone knows someone.
People who found jobs in the East China Sea would send messages back to their relatives and friends when they had enough to eat.
Due to backward transportation and communication, this process may be slow, but it will definitely snowball and more and more people will know about it.
The situation in the Central Plains is worse than that in Jiangnan. The people are desperate. If they finally find a way out, they will definitely seize it with all their strength.
When more people come, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
At this time, whoever dares to say that not allowing the people to come is cutting off their livelihood and will be torn into pieces by countless hungry refugees!
Even Jin Feng did not dare to send people to intercept and persuade the refugees on the road.
At this time, the general trend of people coming to the East China Sea has taken shape. It is definitely unstoppable and we can only find ways to solve it.
And we must think of a way as soon as possible, otherwise once the people gather in the East China Sea and chaos breaks out, it will be too late to control it.
Jin Feng forced himself to calm down, looked at Tang Xiaobei and said, "How many more people can be employed in the drying field, picking field and packaging factory?"
"There are only a limited number of fishing boats in the picking field, and offshore operations cannot operate in two shifts, so the labor force on Maolang Island is already saturated. Unless we find more
More fishing boats.”
Tang Xiaobei said: "The amount of kelp picked determines the amount of labor in the drying and packing yards. If we recruit people blindly, it is likely to create a lazy working attitude. By then, the atmosphere in the factory will be ruined, and the atmosphere in the factory will be ruined."
Why not just give porridge to the refugees?"
"Yes," Jin Feng nodded slightly.
Everyone is lazy. A job that can be done by three people may not be done as quickly as by ten people.
Moreover, if this continues for a period of time, the trade union will develop a culture of pushing and shoving the blame, which is not as good as it is now, which will make the workers who have already obtained a job feel a sense of crisis and work harder.
As for finding more fishing boats, Jin Feng has no plans for the time being.
Although the kelp on Maolang Island is abundant, it is not unlimited.
The more pickers you recruit, the faster it will be harvested.
When there are so many workers, how to arrange them will be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng asked: "You said before that you would try to establish outlets in the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas. How is it going now?"
"Establishing outlets in Jiangnan and the Central Plains requires a large number of armed forces and workers, and these people all need training."
Tang Xiaobei said: "The training of the first batch is not over yet, and it will not start until the end of the month at the earliest."
"In this case, it will be a bit troublesome!"
Jin Feng rubbed his forehead, his mind was working rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.
But the refugees arrived so fast that Jin Feng was a little caught off guard
Less than.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with a good idea, so he could only look to Tang Xiaobei for help: "Do you have any ideas?"
"No," Tang Xiaobei said, "but the day before yesterday, I found that the number of refugees was increasing, so I wrote a letter to Your Majesty and informed her of the situation.
Just now Qin Ming sent someone to inform you that His Majesty will be here today, Feifei has arranged for someone to wait at the dock, let me tell you."
"Wu Yang wants to come here in person?" Jin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor rarely left the palace unless there was something extremely important.
Even if you want to go out, you will prepare at least several months in advance. Officials along the way must prepare reception and security issues in advance.
But Princess Ninth received Tang Xiaobei's letter the day before yesterday and rushed directly to Donghai today.
This kind of action and courage far exceeds that of most emperors in history.
Tang Xiaobei looked at Jin Feng's appearance and curled his lips secretly.
In her heart, Guan Xiaorou was Jin Feng's first wife and the eldest wife, while she was Jin Feng's second wife and the eldest sister among the concubines.
As a result, a ninth princess suddenly appeared, and with the help of Jin Feng, she became the first female emperor in history.
It is impossible to say that Tang Xiaobei didn't feel a little uncomfortable.
This is one of the reasons why Tang Xiaobei is often out and unwilling to return to Xihewan.
She didn't want to have to bow to the Ninth Princess every time she saw her.
But Tang Xiaobei can manage the Chamber of Commerce
It’s so good, but I still have a view of the overall situation.
Even if she felt uncomfortable, for the sake of Jin Feng and the great cause, she would not quarrel with the Ninth Princess. She would only see the Ninth Princess less often.
This time I wrote to the Ninth Princess. In addition to informing the Ninth Princess of the situation, I also wanted to put the problem on the Ninth Princess and let her know that the empress is not that easy to be.
Just now, Tang Xiaobei deliberately chatted with Jin Feng for a long time, and finally told him about the Ninth Princess's arrival. He also had this little thought in mind.
In fact, Jin Feng also knew the little thoughts in Tang Xiaobei's heart, but if he thought about it from his perspective, Tang Xiaobei was very arrogant and had a little temper. It was normal for everyone to be Guan Xiaorou.
As long as Tang Xiaobei didn't do anything outrageous, Jin Feng would just pretend he didn't know.
"Sir, madam!"
Tang Xiaobei's personal guard captain ran over and whispered: "Zhenyuan No. 2 has arrived at the dock!"
"So fast?"
Jin Feng thought that Princess Ninth would arrive later, but he didn't expect to arrive so soon.
Even Tang Xiaobei was a little surprised.
She had just received news that Zhenyuan 2 had just arrived in the East China Sea. Logically speaking, it would take a quarter of an hour at the fastest. How could it arrive so quickly?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaobei couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the flag above his head.
Well, the wind is southerly today. Zhenyuan No. 2 not only has steam engine power, but can also use the wind to travel.
"You little rascal, come back and see me take care of you!"
Jin Feng scratched Tang Xiaobei's nose with the putty on his hand and walked out quickly.
