Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 638 Excited Pirates
On November 11th of the third year of Tianxuan, with the continuous construction of the defensive towers in the territory of Yizhen, although the landing operations were still fierce, the daily casualties in the territory of Yizhen were not many, but the consumption of strategic materials was really fast.

In fact, Qu Mao is also very excited these days. On the one hand, the defensive tower strategy has worked, and the momentum of the invasion fleet’s landing operations has been curbed; It didn't bring any extra trouble to Yi Town's territory.

Seeing that three days were about to pass, and these 100 million female residents would completely become the total population of Yi Town's territory, Su Yan, along with the internal affairs officers and heroes, and the managers of the islands stood guard on the periphery, waiting for resettlement, Qu Mao was very excited.

Qu Mao was excited not only by the 100 million female residents, but also by paying 300 million gold coins to Lai Dima to obtain the blueprint of the 240 square kilometers territory.

The imbalance of the gender structure of the residents in Yi Town has always been a problem that has plagued Qu Mao, Su Yan, and most of the heroes in Yi Town. The imbalance in the gender structure of the residents will lead to many unstable factors in the territory, and it is also not conducive to the population of Yi Town. Natural growth.

Of course, Qu Mao has never considered the problem of natural population growth in Yizhen Territory. Natural population growth will take at least 15 years to form productive forces. The early stage has always been in the investment stage. Of course, it is still good for stabilizing social relations in Yizhen Territory. , but the speed is too slow.

At present, a few islands in Yizhen's territory do not even have a single female resident, such as Lian Island.

One million female residents is of great significance to the current stage of the territory of Yi Town. If possible, Qu Mao is even willing to pay another 100 million gold coins to let Lai Dima supply another one million female residents.

Maffei Trani brings back female residents every time he runs a business, because there is too little female residents in the population of Yi Town territory.

Currently, Maffei Trani is accompanying the vice-chairman of the Silla Chamber of Commerce, Locke Delle, on a tour of the various islands in the territory of Yizhen. Because Sky Island and Lian Island are in the stage of war, there is a big risk of rashly landing on the island. Dangerous, so Maffei Trani did not take Rock Dryden.

According to Locke Deller's introduction, the Silla Chamber of Commerce may be temporarily stranded in the caravans of Jierhou State Baigang and Liuwang Principality Yancheng Port, and it should also bring a lot of female residents. Qu Mao didn't ask the specific number.

With the 100 million female residents of Laidema, the population gender structure of Yi Township has reached about 6:4, which is close to the ratio of male and female residents recruited by using resident recruitment coupons.

If there are a total of 20 female residents in the two trading caravans of the Silla Chamber of Commerce, then the sex ratio of the population in Yizhen territory may reach 5.5 to 4.5. Consumption is on par with the past few days.

Even though Qu Mao didn't care much about the long-term development of Yizhen's territory, he knew very well that a balanced ratio of men and women was beneficial to Yizhen's territory.

At 11 pm on November 13th in the third year of Tianxuan, under the reminder of Lesa Middleton, Qu Mao walked to the east wall of Yi Town and looked at the sea outside the fisherman's village with a binoculars.

I saw strange-shaped ships, led by the warships of the coastal defense fleet of Yizhen Territory, slowly docking at the civilian docks outside the fishermen's village. These ships are generally in the size of giant warships and large warships, but longer than regular warships Longer and narrower in width.

The number of these strangely shaped ships is not many, Qu Mao roughly counted them, probably less than 20 ships.

On each of these ships, there are terrible skull flags.

During the remote communication with Qu Mao, Lesa Middleton told Qu Mao that these ships were sent by various pirate families to save face for the naval heroes from the pirate families in the territory of Yi Town.

Soon, Lesa Middleton led a dozen fierce men towards the east gate of Yi Town. Qu Mao thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the lord's cabin.

In less than 10 minutes, Lesa Middleton led a dozen people into the lord's hut, and asked the fourth-rank guards on guard to inform Qu Mao that the pirate captains were asking to see him.

In the living room of the lord's hut, Qu Mao received the pirate captains. Since they were all from the families of the naval heroes of the Yi Town territory, Qu Mao was very polite to these pirate captains.

Lysa Middleton bowed her hands and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, these are all captains who enjoy a great reputation at sea, and they are also members of their subordinate families.

Including the people from the Ocean family from Lord Sylvia, the people from the Swanpu family from Lord Fuller, the people from the Sirian family from Lord Christine..."

Listening to Lesa Middleton's introduction, Qu Mao saluted these pirate captains one by one. At this moment, Qu Mao found that most of the heroes in Yizhen's territorial navy were from pirate families. At this moment, Qu Mao had mixed feelings in his heart. The recruits are some naval heroes.

After introducing them one by one, Lesa Middleton said indignantly: "My lord, the families of all the lords were very angry when they heard that our merchant fleet was robbed by pirates. As a pirate family with a long tradition, it was actually robbed by younger generations. , at sea this is a joke.

That's why every family has famous pirate ships that have entered our territory of Yi Town, including the Sea God of the Ocean family, the Pioneer of my Middleton family, etc..."

Qu Maoqi said: "I can understand the feelings of the captains, but the pirate fleet that robbed our merchant ships has a large number of warships, but we only have one or two pirate ships in one family, and there are not even 20 ships in total..."

A bearded captain shouted at Qu Mao: "My lord, don't underestimate our pirate ships, these are the legendary pirate ships of our respective families.

Pirate ships may not be as good as warships in frontal combat, but we are omnipotent and omnipotent pirates on the sea, and the lord can just look at our achievements.

The sea has its rules, and the rules of the sea are the rules of our pirates.

We will follow the rules of the sea and return face for the heroes who came out of our pirate family. "

Qu Mao smiled noncommittally. After all, he was from the family of naval heroes, and Qu Mao didn't want to lose face to them. With less than 20 pirate ships, it is impossible to defeat the enemy's combined fleet composed of thousands of warships. ?
Lesa Middleton smiled and said to the pirates: "My legendary captains, it seems that our lord doesn't trust you very much.

That being the case, then according to the rules of the sea, let's use strength to speak for everything. "

More than a dozen pirate captains saluted Qu Mao together, then turned their heads aggressively and walked out of the lord's hut in Yi Town's territory.
