Chapter 1310 - Desperate

Population needs are not just a problem for Haikou, in fact labor shortages are a long-standing problem in most areas under Haihan's rule, and local chief executives, like Qiu Yuan, have an almost paranoid thirst for immigration. Although the total population of Hainan Island has already exceeded 300,000, an increase of at least 20 percent compared with when the travelers first arrived here, there is still a huge bottleneck in the number of labor force for the quasi-industrial society that the Executive Committee is bent on promoting, and the population is still one of the shortcomings that restricts the development speed of Haihan.

Fortunately, there are many ways to improve labor efficiency, which can make up for the lack of labor to a certain extent, so that the country can still maintain a very high development rate in the case of labor shortage. If the current level of social productivity in the Ming Dynasty is used as a yardstick, then the development of Haihan can really be described as a thousand miles in a day, and in just eight years, Haihan's social productivity has evolved to a much higher level than this era.

Haihan's construction achievements undoubtedly made onlookers like Liu Shang both envious and jealous, although he knew that it was wrong, he still couldn't help but think, if the Ming court also had the same ability to govern, then why would it encounter today's difficult situation of internal and external difficulties. At least the Ming Dynasty can have as many laborers as they want, and the government can requisition the people at the first order, so there is no need to worry about a large labor shortage in the implementation stage of a certain project, and there is no need to spend a lot of resources and time to recruit and transport immigrants from overseas like the Haihan people.

Just the population advantage can leave Haihan behind for a few years, but unfortunately no one in the Ming Dynasty knows how to take advantage of such an advantage, so they can only watch as Haihan poachs a large number of people from the Ming Dynasty, and then uses these manpower to build the Haihan Kingdom. If you think about it carefully, this is simply a great irony of the Ming Dynasty's ability to govern.

The second stop of the visit is the Haikou Military Port, which is located in the west of the mouth of the Nandu River, as an important coastal stronghold to guard the Qiongzhou Strait, which is the construction began soon after the capture of Qiongbei from Haihan, and the first and second phases of the project have been announced to be completed, and there are still some supporting facilities and improvements left in the follow-up. In addition to guarding the Qiongzhou Strait and establishing an armed barrier at sea, the sea area of activity of this fleet is actually very wide, from the mouth of the river in the east to the Beibu Gulf in the west, and the coastline of the northern half of Hainan Island are all under its control.

It is not the first time that Liu Shang has had close contact with the Haihan Navy during this trip, so he will not have much novelty, and a few days ago he saw a whole fleet of steam sails in the "Crossing 1635" military exercise, and his vision is much higher than in the past, and the fleet stationed in Haikou Military Port will no longer surprise him. However, he had not set foot in a real naval port before, including Sanya, so the infrastructure here still gave him a little novelty.

The docks where the ships docked were all sorts of tall spreaders, pipes, and steam-powered conveyor belts, all of which were used to quickly load supplies such as ammunition, fresh water, and coal to the ships.
