In the afternoon, the sun is not too blazing, and Binghuo Island is located at a high latitude, so the temperature is not high, so it's a good time to take a walk on the island.

  The economic recovery of Farewell Island has little impact in other places, but the impact on Binghuo Island and the small town of Kabila is very extraordinary.

  Parry has studied the transformation of the farewell town in detail and understands Qin Shiou’s role in it. His continuous investment in fisheries is a good way to strengthen the town’s confidence.

The townspeople may not be able to get profits from the Daqin fishery, but this fishery has become a shield of their courage. Some people are willing to invest in the fishery on a large scale. This proves that the surrounding fisheries are promising and valuable, so they don’t need it. Abandon the island.

  What’s more valuable is that Qin Shiou took the lead in bringing tourist groups from China, and successfully made this tourist route popular.

  Of course, Parry didn’t know that this was Mao Weilong’s role. In fact, it was the tour group that the young master of the capital’s Jinyiwei second stall used his personal relationships to find for the town. Of course, Qin Shiou also made a lot of credit.

  In short, he regarded Qin Shiou as a life-saving straw for the town.

"Actually, buddy, the island began to be in a slump ten years ago. At that time, someone proposed to spread the fishermen to other places, and the government would help them tow the house away by car." Parry said as he walked. " But as long as there is hope, who wants to leave his hometown, right?"

  Qin Shiou stood on a small hill and looked towards the town. The sun was shining and the sky was clear. Looking around, almost the entire island can be seen.

  The white huts are scattered on the ground, and the trees are lush and lush, and occasionally a few Labrador or Newfoundland dogs are walking lazily on the street. Everything seemed pleasant and laid-back.

  But this is only for tourists. The lives of the townspeople are poor, and the cost of survival on the island is too great.

  The price was revealed that night. When Qin Shiou was packing up his things, he found that the mouthwash was gone. Just ask where it is sold in the small town of Pali.

  Pali told him with a wry smile that the supermarket in the small town can only provide simple daily necessities, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and mouthwash. Need to sail across the strait to the city on the other side to buy it.

"You may not believe it, but sometimes if we want to eat freshly baked hot bread and pizza, we have to take the ferry to the other side, replenish vegetables, beef and eggs every week, and also have to go to the other side. So we have such big freezers in every household. You can live a stable life at home with one trip."

  Parry had a bitter expression when he said this.

  Other fishery owners also encountered similar problems. They got used to going to a certain place and then added something. But the towns simply cannot provide the items they need.

  Finally, even the most hard-working Andrew couldn’t help but complain: “I just want to buy a pack of cigarettes, man, there’s no such thing? God, people here don’t smoke? You are really angels.”

  "We planted tobacco by ourselves. Would you like to taste it?" An old fisherman in his seventies smiled and waved his pipe.

  Andrew looked weak. Fortunately, there are ferries and fishing boats in the small town. They can take them to the main island of Newfoundland to buy things.

  As for the cruise ship you took when you came? Sorry. After arriving at the Ice and Fire Island, Matthew said that it would be overhauled and would not start for three days.

  Of course, the cruise ship has not been overhauled. The fishery owners all understand what Matthew means. Mr. Minister wants them to experience the life of the residents in the declining fishery.

  If the impression that Queen Fishing Village left the fishery owners before was helpless, then Ice Fire Island gave them the impression of despair.

  The small town of Kabila is extremely dilapidated and lacks any vitality. They walked in the town and met either half-year-old children or seniors over sixty years old. Parry said that the average age of residents here is 62 years old, which is not alarmist.

   "In that case. Why not move? This town has no need to produce." Donald felt anxious.

  The old and the old and the old. Charco is about the same age as the residents of the town, so he can better understand the old people's thoughts.

  He was willing to fight against the traditional fishermen along the way and sighed: "Can't you tell, many of the old people left now have spent their lives here. They are real island residents."

  The town may have only been established for forty to fifty years. But there was a fishing village here before, and these people have lived in this fishing village for generations.

  Pali reluctantly said to Qin Shiou: "If there is no way to bring the town back to life, then it is very likely that it will be completely deserted in a while."

  Qin Shiou asked why, Parry explained that the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador has been mobilizing them to relocate. If the people on Little Bay Island are willing to relocate to other places, the provincial government can provide compensation.

  The reason why the government is so active is not only for the residents of the small island, but also because in order to maintain the operation of the town, the government has set up a diesel power station, a small hospital and a school on the island. In order to maintain the operation of these institutions, the government has to pay millions of Canadian dollars each year.

  If the town moves away from the island, the government can interrupt all services provided to the island and save money.

  Slightly sane people know that the fate of the town is over, but they can’t leave. As Charco said, for those who are now in their 60s, where do you want them to move?

The Canadian government is very good. There is no forced demolition. Since there are residents in the town who choose to stick to it, according to the constitution, ten households or more can apply to build a village, and 50 or more households can build a town. When it reaches the town level, the government must provide infrastructure. For service.

  There are not many people in Kabila town, in their early 200s. But in many families, only one elderly person survives, and his wife has either died or left with his family. Even so, there are more than 100 households in the town. According to the constitution, the establishment of the town can still be maintained.

  The reason for such a weird regulation is that in the past, Canada was too sparsely populated. In order to attract immigrants, the government had to provide all kinds of conveniences. Otherwise, once the nationals of the country were lost, the country could go bankrupt.

  In order to persuade the residents of the small town, the provincial government increased the compensation amount for the relocation fee a year ago, and the minimum relocation compensation fee is 300,000 Canadian dollars per household. If there are two people in a family, it will increase to 300,000 yuan, and if there are three people in a family, you can get 350,000 yuan in compensation for relocation.

  For the old people in the town, this money is a huge sum of money. They are old and can't make much money now. They used to be fishermen and didn't make a lot of money.

  So for them, it’s not bad to get a relocation fund to leave the island, as it is a pension, otherwise they stay here, what should they take for pension?

  Stimulated by this huge sum of money, the number of townspeople who want to relocate has naturally increased, but there are still some people who are unwilling to leave this island. People are really older and more stubborn.

  What makes the townspeople who want to move depressed is that the relocation compensation provided by the government is for the entire town, and only the relocation fee will be paid if the entire relocation is required.

  This is where Parry is embarrassed. Those who want to move away and take money blame him for procrastination and indecision. People who don’t want to leave say that he is ruthless and does not miss his hometown. Now it is the most difficult for him to be caught in the middle. (To be continued~^~)
