Jarilo's idle population could be put to use maintaining the Paradise headquarters' daily operations and order.
At the same time, the Paradise headquarters' name could probably help Jarilo develop rapidly.
If they wanted to build up their influence in the Honkai: Star Rail world and sustain such extensive operations, they couldn't possibly rely entirely on Paradise Puppets. They would always need local residents; otherwise, there simply wouldn't be enough manpower.
Though even conservative estimates put the number of people from the Previous Era who had undergone Puppet Transformation at several billion.
