Chapter 1017 Establishing The Rules Of Migration
A few days later…
While Gloria was still in the capital of the Brown Kingdom settling her affairs, Minos had finally received confirmation that the Cromwell Kingdom was surrendering.
Because of this, only small enemies hidden around the region remained for the Black Plain forces to deal with.
However, for what mattered regarding the war of independence, this was definitely the news that ended any conflict that might still happen in connection with the Black Plain’s rise as an independent state.
With this information, Minos could finally worry about using the six states in this region to develop his territory without worrying about significant trouble areas anymore.
There were still enemies in the region, of course. That was the case with the Scourges of the Devil that Minos was already preparing to visit in the coming months. But the problems that remained from the war of the last few years were not so significant that they could hinder the expansionist and developmental projects of the ruler of the Black Plain.
That was different from having royal families or nobles still as enemies, powers with dark desires, and craving revenge at all costs. After all, while these remaining enemies were influential to the regional community, a single royal family could disrupt Minos’ migration plans.
A large family could easily put fears into the minds of its inhabitants, something that could prevent migrations of its citizens and even populations from outside its own territory or state!
Ordinary people were fearful and would definitely think three times more before accepting to migrate to a place still at war against high-level regional organizations.
But assassins or survivors hiding around the region could not make these populations fear for their lives at the thought of migration!
The Scourge of the Devil assassin was indeed feared in the region. But they were uncontrollable long before the arrival of Minos, and even the most prominent regional families suffered from time to time with such an organization.
So, what problem would there be if such an organization that was Minos’ enemy still existed?
From the point of view of these ordinary people, such a thing would be no different from what they already faced before Minos.
No, in fact, the current situation could be viewed more positively than the one before Minos’ rise. After all, unlike the traditional regional powers, the Black Plain seemed to have the power to deal with the regional assassins so despised and feared throughout the region.
Thus, having only these remaining enemies was much better than still having to deal with a royal family and their vassals, who could still be respected here and there.
Therefore, resolving this situation with the Cromwell Kingdom was important to Minos, even considering that the war was already won.
And already in possession of this information concerning the surrender of the Cromwell Kingdom and the coming visit of forces from that state, Minos was in his office in the mansion, settling his sovereign affairs.
…
In that young Stuart’s office, he was at that instant standing next to some administrative soldiers and local government officials.
After weeks since his order for Dillian to prepare people from the government to begin accounting for the Black Plain’s capacity to receive migrants, these people had come to deliver the results to him.
One of the six individuals there with Minos, a woman dressed nicely in an outfit that did not show much of her curves, but emitted refinement, then said. “Young master, considering the government’s current crystal reserves, we estimate that we will be able to receive up to 1 million immigrants in the next four to six months.”
“But we can’t guarantee the quality of life found in Dry City for all those people at once.”
“We’ll still have to build the foundations of the satellite cities of Dry City, and Naval City-1 has much to be developed before it reaches the level of our capital city.”
“Finally, Dry City itself needs to grow to more adequately welcome our allies and subordinates living outside the dome. So, it will truly take us a while to balance the level of development of each of our future cities.”
Hearing this, Minos did not feel disappointed, as such a situation was expected.
The Black Plain was still practically a lifeless desert, a place with no areas with urban construction other than those that had already been developed. So the work in this territory had to start from zero, which meant not attractive conditions at first.
“That’s not a problem,” Minos said as he looked at that woman sitting on the left end of a sofa. “I believe that the first migrants will be people more willing to accept those conditions given future opportunities.”
Moving to a place that had just won a war was not as attractive as it might have seemed at first glance. The Black Plain certainly had great potential, but in the first instance, it would take some time for the fundamental problems to be solved.
In this situation, would it be interesting for people with structured lives in places outside the Black Plain to want to come to this territory so soon?
No, it would not make sense. At least not for the vast majority of people with comfortable lives.
So there remained those who needed to take certain risks, work harder or even accept worse conditions because they were more desperate for jobs.
That was the primary target audience of the first migration campaigns to the Black Plain!
“Young master,” A man dressed in a black suit raised one of his hands and asked Minos. “Should we focus on immigrants from outside the new territory of the Black Plain? Or perhaps we will first absorb these populations?”
This man was unmistakably talking about the populations of the many cities in the territories already annexed from the Brown Kingdom or those that would still be from the Cromwell Kingdom.
Minos understood the doubt of his government official and answered him. “First, we will take in the unemployed populations of those cities.”
“They will probably not have much resistance to leaving their cities, and their departure will not harm such places’ economies.”
“Next, we will receive migrants below level 30 coming from other states in our region.”
Having strong people in their state was superb. But at the moment, Minos needed workers to build cities, develop agricultural fields, and provide other essential services in the Black Plain.
Therefore, focusing the initial migrations on people with characteristics proper to the Black Plain’s current situation made more sense.
Minos then looked at his administrative soldiers and said. “As for how these people will be chosen and brought here, that will depend on your interaction with the regional royal families.”
“Yes, young master.” One of those individuals nodded and began to speak. “We have already started communicating with the regional royal houses about how we arrange these migrations.”
“From what has already been arranged, these families and their vassals will issue news releases to their populations. That way, they will spread the news about the opportunity to come to the Black Plain with guaranteed transportation and protection, as long as the rules are followed.”
“As for those rules, these families will collect the names of people interested in migrating here and create a call scheduling.”
“We will give a certain number of slots to each state every four months, and then these families will issue announcements about those with a turn to come to the Black Plain.”
Another soldier then said. “In addition, these royal families have already pledged to set up isolation cordons in cities bordering our territory to prevent people from coming here at the wrong time.”
“Yes,” the third individual from the local army agreed and said. “But we won’t just stand by and wait for them to do all that for us.”
“The army already has plans to establish small camps along our borders, as well as larger posts around the main territory of the Black Plain.”
“This way, we hope to avoid illegal immigrants coming into our future cities and Dry City.”
Minos liked what those people had done so far and repeated his earlier order. “Make those families give priority to the unemployed below level 30.”
He then looked at the other woman standing there, an official from his government, and said. “Look at the data regarding spiritual professionals most in short supply in Dry City. We will also receive some of them along with the first groups of immigrants.”
