Lawrence did not personally participate in this expansion of the forces on the island. After all, the guys who are at most equivalent to the ruffians would be too cheap if they wanted him to act in person. And unlike when he first came to the island, he has also cultivated a team that is reliable enough to handle various situations in his absence.

Now it seems that the group of people that Lawrence trained before is obviously doing very well. They successfully quelled the scattered riots in the small settlements in the northwest of the island that had surrendered to them within a short period of time, and rebuilt the grassroots management institutions there.

In a way, it is a good thing for these people to jump up and express their opposition. Because after killing them, the local tycoons can be wiped out, and this vacuum of power is naturally very conducive to Lawrence and the others to rebuild their own new order in the local area.

However, the new order that Lawrence said is not copying everything in the area under his control. To give the simplest example, the industries in the area under Lawrence’s control are basically collective industries and mass production. In addition to the land handed over or confiscated by the leaders, there are many small pieces of land belonging to private individuals.

At the beginning, after receiving a description of the local situation from the dispatched office team, Lawrence tried to get his subordinates to directly redeem those lands. Unfortunately, because of the traditional habits of these people, they were not willing to give up their own sites. So it took them a long time to acquire less than 1/10 of the land.

In this case, someone naturally proposed to Lawrence to directly use the compulsory foreclosure owned by the lord to redeem the land of those people, but this was rejected by Lawrence. Because he knows that this compulsory foreclosure must be limited to emergency situations before it can be used, otherwise it will affect the credibility of Lawrence and the regulations on the island.

However, considering that such small producers will inevitably not be comparable to large-scale support and organized industrialized mass production, in order to avoid some bad situations in the future. So Lawrence took out one of some abandoned plans he made before coming to the island, that is, the mutual cooperative plan.

After replacing the previous redemption plan with this cooperative plan, the new plan was quickly pushed forward. On the one hand, this new plan did sound very good, and the group of church priests who were sent later convinced these people of Lawrence's promise in this regard.

On the other hand, everyone had seen the fighting power of Lawrence's armies when they were purging the group of rogues in these settlements. So they also realized that it was not a good idea to confront Lawrence. So naturally agreed to Lawrence's cooperative plan.

In such a step-by-step advancement, the scattered settlements were brought under Lawrence's rule in only half a month. Although it is temporarily impossible to plan and plant the crops in a unified manner because the crops have already been planted in the fields, some basic work can basically be done now.

For example, the roads and walls around the settlements can be built this time. Another example is to sell a batch of front-loaded rifled flash hat rifles here at a low price and provide certain training so that these people can In the face of small groups of goblins or beasts invading, it can have a stronger defense.

The most important thing is that they need to build a few docks that can be used for ships to dock and load and unload. After all, these settlements are almost all settlements not far from the sea, so they naturally need to open up transportation lines after being brought into the control of Lawrence and the others. Ensure the circulation of various items.

Okay, this set of work is very familiar to the group of staff sent by Lawrence, because before Lawrence and the others built it from New Sauer Port and Niuhorn Bay all the way, so they are facing the current situation. Naturally, I was very experienced and didn't need much guidance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lawrence deployed manpower to start counting the population that is now under his own rule. It turns out that the human population under his direct control has just exceeded 800,000, which is equivalent to the total human population on the island in the information he obtained before coming here.

But in addition, there are more than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 people on the island who are not under Lawrence's control. There are about 20,000 people living in very scattered places, and the remaining 30,000 people who are temporarily unable to contact are people in Tanas Town and the surrounding areas controlled by the lucky guys.

Naturally, these people are the objects that Lawrence needs to win in the next step. He believes that with his strong strength and sufficient resources as the backing, he should be able to gradually draw these people in. After the preparations are finished, the difficulty of trying to clean up the evil ones with their strength will naturally become a smooth matter.

In addition to human beings, the addition of the Tauren scattered from the surrounding area on the island finally made the population of the Tauren exceed four thousand. After all, the tauren itself belongs to a powerful but not fertile intelligent creature, so it is actually quite good to be able to gather so many tauren on the island.

The Ratman is just the opposite. There was no ratman on Sauer Island before. Now the rat crowd on the island was formed only after Fatina got the permission of Lawrence and gathered the compatriots who were willing to immigrate on the island. But even so, there are now more than 8,000 rat people on the island.

Among them, six thousand five hundred scavengers are concentrated in the caves in the mountains and in the plantations allocated to them, while the remaining 1,500 scavengers live together in various human settlements and work with humans. . From a certain point of view, they are already the most familiar alien species on the island.

In fact, there were about 12,000 rat people who were willing to immigrate to the island at first, but Fatina and their horned rat priests took the initiative to screen after considering the carrying capacity of the island. The optimization of the introduction of Ratman immigration bit by bit, while also giving priority to those who are useful to the island.

The latest immigrants are the group of Lorka murlocs, probably close to 30,000. And after working hard for this period of time, they successfully established new settlements in multiple areas in the shallow sea. At the same time, they made up for 1/3 by planting some fast-growing seaweeds and ocean-going fishing fleets following humans. Needed food ~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition, most of the remaining roka fish are employed by humans for various jobs and grow seaweed that can make plastic. Therefore, they were able to support themselves in less than a month after they were here, and there is no need for Lawrence to continue to give them relief. From this point of view, they can be considered to have successfully established themselves in this territory.

In addition to these permanent residents, there are now 10,000 to 20,000 temporary residents on the island, including foreign sailors, temporarily hired labor, and fishermen who back on the island to carry out fisheries. These people are naturally an important part of the island, and Lawrence also believes that the conditions on the island will soon attract some people to settle on the island.

Because Lawrence had trained a group of clerks before, the census went very smoothly. It only took a week to complete the census while conquering the scattered settlements. After completing the census, Lawrence can be considered to have a general understanding of the current situation.

The biggest role of this census is to allow Lawrence to determine how much manpower he can use for a long time, because as the settlements on the island are subordinated one by one, a large number of people like this are included in a short time. The possibility of this will naturally be greatly reduced.
