Chapter 545 Taking Ten Thousand Peoples as Our Own Responsibility

Doing this in the first place can easily activate the economy of a place.

Because it is tax-free, merchants will instinctively follow the trajectory of this merchant ship, striving to maximize their own interests and minimize costs.

This means of reasonable tax avoidance is rare in other places.

More importantly, there will definitely be a lot of opportunities on such a merchant ship—whether it is a business serving the rich or doing business with the rich, it is all about connections and channels.

The food, clothing, housing, transportation and consumption of the people living on the ship require a large amount of commodities and trade to maintain it.

They need to be resupplied directly on the spot.

That is to say, it only needs to dock itself next to any very primitive island. Merchants, workers hired by merchants, and people looking for jobs on board will naturally move everything on the island. Empty, absorb the people on this island on board, and then turn this island into a deeply developed industrial island.

People on this island may be able to find jobs directly in the local area, while other people may get tired of life on the ship and directly disembark to live locally, and a large part of the local people may be absorbed on the ship.

Because people's longing for a better life is taken for granted, otherwise South Americans would not have to go through all kinds of hardships, be hunted, besieged, blocked by physical walls, and invisible discrimination, but they would still have to go to North America to find jobs and opportunities up.

Even in New Oriental back then, because of material life and material conditions, didn’t a large group of people give up the motherland of giving birth to themselves, raising themselves, and low learning costs, and switched to the embrace of North America with high material costs and high costs.

This is the commonality of human beings, but it is precisely because of this that there are such things as family and country feelings, national dignity, national shame, and national self-confidence.

Only then can some well-educated and well-known big cows around the world give up their achievements and status, return to their hometowns with nothing, and build their own motherland from scratch.

With the former kind of people, it is possible to show the incomparable and greatness of the latter kind of people.

And after this ship absorbs people from those poor areas, there will be almost a continuous source of cheap labor, which will keep the service industry on the ship at a very low price level.

Because of the low wages, capitalists make money, right?

And New Oriental has rural areas as the last guarantee for migrant workers. Even in big cities, first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier cities, they can’t survive. After all, they have cheap houses and cheap education to guarantee migrant workers and their descendants. There is pension, medical care and education.

And this ship does not seem to have such a buffer zone and a guarantee policy for migrant workers, but Leo has already thought about this matter a long time ago: every time the ship goes to an island, a country exchanges, it seems to be an exchange. Development seems to be the absorption of people and population.

But in fact, the development of the local area also needs people and all kinds of people. People who have endured to the limit on the boat, people who have seen the world, and people who have received a good education. After entering the local area, they not only have a guaranteed life , and can also use their own knowledge and insights to help local development.

After the merchants got to know this island, this island is no longer a ghost island that "does not appear on the map", but a real one. The products and output on it are open and transparent to the merchants with value. islands.

So naturally there will be some merchants who are not strong enough to stay in the local area for investment, development, and trade.

At that time, the situation of the entire island will be completely opened, and the quality of life of these ordinary people who have retreated from the ship will be further enhanced under trade.

This is the Revolutionary Army's version of the Rural Buffer Guarantee Plan.

Governance should be tailored to local conditions.

The merchants on the first floor can only see the prosperous scenery on this ship, the attractive trade and profits.

The big merchants are on the second floor, and they can see the devouring of local natural and human resources by the ship after passing by.

The revolutionary army was on the third floor, and they could foresee the development of the local area where the ship passed, and the earth-shaking impact and changes on the lives of ordinary people.

And Leo is in the atmosphere, he has even found a retreat and a buffer zone for those who have been eliminated by this giant city.

This is the Revolutionary Army, and this is how he does things.

"That..." The chairman of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but raised his hand. In theory, he shouldn't speak rashly on this occasion.

Because it is likely to offend someone he can't afford to offend.

But there was no way to hide his curiosity.

While everyone was falling into fantasies about the beautiful future, he couldn't help but raised his hand and asked, "I may ask, why did you do this for them?"

Yes, why?

The five businessmen came to their senses one after another.

If you want to maximize your benefits, it is enough to cruise back and forth in the capital of seven waters, Chambord Islands, and Gaya Island.

The warehouse that comes with this ship alone is enough to make the wealth of the Revolutionary Army pile up like a mountain.

But why did Leo spend so much time, effort, and troublesome things?

You must know that with the size of this ship, if you want to enter the four seas through the great route, you must either demolish part of the red earth continent, or wipe out the sea king creatures in the windless zone.

Although this kind of thing is not easy for the current revolutionary army, it can be done with a little effort.

But is it really necessary for the Revolutionary Army to develop the resources on those islands to the point where it is now?
For the Revolutionary Army, the cost and benefits of this investment are not directly proportional.

Did they really have to do this?

Leo laughed: "This is actually a grand strategy of the Revolutionary Army."

"We want to completely help most people out of poverty in five to ten years, help them enter a modern life, help them get rid of the threat of wild animals, and help them enter a normal, healthy, and upward life."

"This is what our revolutionary army is going to do, and it is what the revolutionary army will continue to do in the future. In order to accomplish this, we will do it at all costs."

"Not to mention that we do have a lot of money, manpower and material resources, and friends who are willing to help us,"

"The right time, place and people are all on our side. Why don't we do this?"

Leo spread his hands and asked.

Everyone was stunned by Leo's majesty, and none of the five businessmen could speak for a while.

They actually began to feel ashamed of their little profit calculations!
