Adding it all up, there are two to three hundred people. With their families, that would be over a thousand people.
Besides, there is also a portion of short-term workers, like those farms that cultivate crops, requiring additional hands during the busy farming seasons.
As for Daniel organizing a small team solely to serve Morning Glory, that's really no big deal.
This is, after all, a sparsely populated country with high labor costs—Australia—a capitalist society where officials are elected to power. So an influential, high-profit enterprise like Morning Glory must be given due respect by state-level officials.
That's particularly because Yan Fei's side is just getting started. Wait a few more months as their influence grows, and even the highest-ranking legislators will have to show respect.
Otherwise, Daniel wouldn't have thought of the idea—it's just a small city, after all. Issuing local ordinances for the sake of urban development is not a big deal.
