"Although in terms of time and ability, the calculation of 'labor' can be calculated from the age of 15 after graduating from the Central School, but only 110,000 elves have entered the society;"

"Second, it turns out that using slaves is not necessarily efficient. Generally, hiring free labor will yield more gains;"

"Snake spirit."

"There's nothing I can't say. It just so happens that the damn snake spirit language along the way mentioned that my tongue hurts. In fact, it has been vaguely appearing in recent years."

The 'driver' who was driving also agreed upon hearing this.

"When nearly a hundred such city-states form trade routes, they can benefit more industries and feed more people. What we elves gain are the smiling faces in the process."

"Everything should be under militarized management! Team leaders, squadron leaders, and group leaders are under layer-by-layer control, and let them take care of themselves at the grassroots level! At the higher levels, a small number of prime-age soldiers, teachers, etc. are arranged, right? Wouldn't that be great? Anyway, they are

You are a teenager as soon as you are born, so there should be no problem with this!"

Alama pointed to the machinery in the fields in the distance and the off-road convoy that had just arrived, and said,

"They use 'credit coins' to obtain our specialties, and we also use 'credit coins' to exchange for the supplies we need. Only by going back and forth can we build a fairly stable social structure."

"After that, the 10 plants added in Rune Calendar 92, and the 13 plants added in 94, will also give birth for the first time in four or five years. This is 1.28 million children."

'Dong-dong-dong!'

The two elves both entered the car, and the team set off again. Then they slowly left the farming area and drove into the suburbs. The core area of ​​the city-state began to be clearly visible.

~~~~~~~~

On the road that followed, the number of traveling vehicles and horned hoofs gradually increased, and when they entered the city, they could even occasionally see foreigners from other city-states, who seemed to be sojourners or long-distance traders.

"City-states that receive taxes can repair the city and purchase supplies together."

"What's wrong with the headquarters' doubling in purchasing basic supplies? Are they preparing for war?"

"War? How do I know about this kind of thing? You should know better, right?"

Habitually withdrawing the nerve braid held by Azra in his hand, he pointed with it at the heavy vehicles behind the horned hoof species not far away.

"Also. Look over there, those transportation vehicles are also our products. In addition, there are roads, tracks, rail locomotives, construction equipment, etc. As for the price."

She turned around in confusion and saw Azra's originally purple face, which for some reason became a bit more purple.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I see."

“It doesn’t seem like an easy thing to do”

Azra did understand, but she was also confused by the elves' choice, because it was completely different from the world she knew, whether it was production methods or population relationships.

Anyway, in her impression, 'agriculture' is either like what she saw when she was a child, relying on a large amount of low-end labor from slave tribes to obtain harvests, or like the current Snake Spirit Camp, where you just sprinkle some seeds and rely on the sky.

Have a meal.

After returning the braid to its 'original position' and flicking it twice in his palm, Alama continued to explain,

"Whether it's a transaction between city-states or a transaction with the clan leader, you need to use 'special equivalents'. Just like your northern tribes use precious metals to exchange goods, we also have a 'credit currency' system here."

But here, not only do they live a normal life, they also seem to have technical capabilities that put the powerful powers in the north to shame.

"You said! You said, our country will definitely remember your kindness!"

"King? Inferior"

Next, the driver pointed to the fields outside and continued,

"The royal breeding farm, the royal woolen factory. And the one over there, that's the parking lot for damaged agricultural machinery. Railcars will come and take it away every once in a while."

"You are joking. Since the noble elves have come to our country, they must show us the highest respect, otherwise how can we show our respect."

"Look after the children!? I can't do it!" The captain's serious face showed a rare expression of nervousness, and he thought randomly,

Taking over the words helplessly, Alama put his weight on the cold body of the snake spirit leader, looked out from the window on the other side, and read as he read,

So instinctively, she confused the huge difference between 'elves' and 'horn-hoofed species', and involuntarily regarded them as a whole.

"These symbols?"

When the guide's last words came out, Azra, who was immersed in the story, suddenly felt that the tip of his tail was tightened a bit;

The captain also got out of the car at this time, walked to Achim and asked with a frown,

"Ahem. It's nothing, I just choked on the spit."

". From 1990 to this year, there were only 160,000 new additions. Between 100 and 109, it will skyrocket to 7.5 million? This means that we will need less than 400,000 people to support more than 10 million in the next fifteen years.

young people and young students’ needs in all aspects.”

"Moreover, half of them are researchers, and the rest are military and civil servant employees. There are very few production units that are actually on the front line;"

"That's right, if you bring the Snake Spirit Tribe to join you, you will naturally receive the same treatment and live a safe and peaceful life under the protection of the Republic;"

What Azra didn't see at this moment was that the awkward smile appeared again on Alama's face next door, which was blocked by his tail.

‘This guy is really lying when he opens his mouth’

"And the five years from 1995 to this year are even more exaggerated. Suddenly there were 94 more plants. What do you think this means?"

In her understanding, they are weak, but diligent and honest, and have good fertility;

"The rest are the 60,000 3-year-olds, 80,000 4-year-olds, 20,000 8-year-olds, and 80,000 13-year-old seniors."

"I understand. Is the impending increase in growth putting pressure on the ruling government?"

"Haha, you're welcome. See you later."

"What's going on? Tell me? Of course, the premise is that the confidentiality regulations are not violated."

"Don't worry, you guy. That's something that needs to be conveyed to the city states recently."

Azra and Alama were already very familiar with each other, so he naturally asked in a low voice,

"The king of this city-state and his nobles."

Under the vague 'staring' of the ruling government guide, Alama shook his head and said that it was no problem at all, so Azra's eyes turned back to the guide in the front row again and asked his doubts.

"Can you tell me about the farmer and the hired laborers?"

"Well, it's a new phonetic character they created after imitating the elves' pinyin. It seems they thought the previous characters were too backward?"

"Let me listen. It seems to be some nonsense. Oh, this guy wants to increase the transaction volume this year. He also complained about the bad things about the city-state next door. That's about it."

"Achim, look ahead." (Elvish)

"I'm not blind. I've seen a bunch of nasty guys a long time ago. I told them not to disturb me. I'm worried about whether their attitude will make the snake spirit feel uncomfortable. After all, the horned hoof species are afraid of being beaten by us." (Elvish language)

"It doesn't matter. This matter will not affect the results of deep suggestion. At least that's what the witch doctors say." (Essence)

"That's good, I'll go take care of things later, and you and the lady will wait in the car for a while." (Essence)

"No problem, leave it to me." (Essence)

In the conversation that Azra couldn't understand, the two cars gradually approached the group in front, and then they heard the sound of greetings coming from the roadside.

"Samar Boix, together with the nobles of the city-state, met the wise elf envoy!"

"Alama, don't you give your snake spirit friend Nian Nian? Stop playing around, be careful and I will tell your captain~"

Therefore, at this time, when the team of six elves and one snake spirit entered the city, they immediately attracted curious eyes.

On both sides of the street, there are concrete buildings with several stories high. Although they are not very beautiful, they are often five or six stories high, and there are many shops below, as well as well-dressed people on the street.

The people here once again opened Azila's eyes, and at the same time, they also gave birth to jealousy in her heart towards this place.

"Production may not be a problem, after all, efficiency is there to support it, but education and other aspects have begun to be tense. What will happen in the next ten or twenty years?"

"What does it say on it?"

"Yes, then?"

"It doesn't 'seem', it's definitely not easy, so we need to transfer some production activities without technical content to the city-state on a large scale. We will focus on automated production lines ourselves, and then fully tilt social forces towards education, I guess.

Ah, before the first batch of elves born in the tide graduate, it is estimated that even you and me will have to work part-time as playmates for a while, teacher."

"You bastard, what kind of blind idea did you come up with? Thank you for thinking it through. Don't say this nonsense in the headquarters?"

"It's a bit shameful to say that although the Republic bans slavery based on the concept of 'all equality among intelligent creatures', it can only be implemented because of interests and pressure from us."

After that, Samar bowed slightly towards the other five elf warriors in the two cars in front and behind, and then led a dozen city-state nobles who didn't even interrupt to leave in the car.

~~~~~~~

"Achim, how could you leak information to him privately?"

There was a knock on the window from behind, and then Alama urged impatiently,

"Should we leave or not?"

"The city-state we are heading to now has more than 300,000 residents. Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to be extremely rich. Among them are wealthy nobles, farmers, factory owners, shopkeepers, and there are also ordinary people who make a living by working.

kind,

Achim leaned on the edge of the car, pondered for a while and whispered,

Whether it was what the guide described or what he witnessed with his own eyes, Azra felt moved.
