"Using war to plunder the population is the most stupid, inefficient, and endlessly troublesome approach."

Xiao Yun first set the tone, and then continued: "Whether it is the country of grassland flames, or the ideal country of 'J', our basic disk cannot be developed without a sufficient population base. So how to get more people?" What about population? There are two ways, one is to rely on our females, females, to give birth one by one, and conceive from generation to generation."

"It takes time to reproduce. In this regard, females of the human race have more advantages than females of the orc race. They can have reproductive functions in their teens... However, premature reproduction will damage the health of the mother itself and even consume the life of the mother , if we encourage or even force human women to become mothers at the age of 15 because of the need for population, then we will have to face unbearably high infant and maternal mortality rates." Xiao Yun said seriously, "This is putting the cart before the horse, it is Using human women as consumables is not in line with our ultimate goal of increasing the population base.”

All countries on the earth, after experiencing wars or epidemics and losing a large number of citizens, will come up with various policies to encourage births... In ancient China, there was a policy that older unmarried men and women must pay single tax, especially women, more than unmarried, local officials They will even forcibly intervene in the marriage of these unmarried women.

As for the promotion of heroic mothers, women without children are incomplete, infinitely elevating the sacred aura of mothers, and imposing oriented propaganda on mothers that only sound good but have little practical significance (benefits), and even limit the basic Power, stripping off its property rights, labor rights, and using it only as a reproductive machine, etc., have come from the ruling class. There have been no shortages from ancient times to the present... The sorrows and joys that people experience, and the significance of the role in Japanese society, no one cares about the mothers who gave birth to these babies. Mothers are sacred, important, and great, but in fact they are just lip service)

This kind of phenomenon that women have no right to sexual freedom and no right to control the uterus, even in 2018, the earth is still popular... This also shows that although it is inhumane for women as a group, such an approach is indeed proven to be feasible A shortcut that can increase the country's population as quickly as possible.

But the prerequisite for implementing this policy is that the ruler has a sufficient base of supporters to respond to the policy of not treating women as human beings.

After all... Let alone giving birth before the bones are mature, even a woman who has given birth to a second child has a high risk of dying on the delivery bed... Modern people have no concept of reproductive risks. After all, they are just surviving Or biased, women who die in childbirth can't stand up and talk to people. (During the period of the Republic of China, the maternal mortality rate was 1.5%. If men were to accept marriage and childbirth, they would have to face the 1.5% mortality rate. Men would have rebelled a long time ago...)

The Eastern Confucian cultural circle and the Western world religions on the earth have brainwashed the whole people for thousands of years before breaking and grinding the bones of the women on the earth.

Break the bones of women at the bottom, let men at the bottom become masters higher than them, join forces with the rulers to tame them, and when women's social status is reduced to "property" (property at the bottom, plaything for the middle and upper classes), this kind of ethnic group The policy of treating half of the people as consumables will get twice the result with half the effort.

In this world, the territory of the human race can be done openly and aboveboard. Many royal families of the human race do the same in order to obtain the bottom population, denying women's labor and social contribution, denying that women are citizens, cannot inherit inheritance, They cannot own property, and once they change from girls to other people's wives, they will automatically be reduced to second-class citizens... as good as their counterparts on Earth.

But for the territory of the orc race... that would be a pity, Xiao Yun dared to risk such a bad thing, and he might "die" before he became an adult...

Beast-like beasts are better than human-like orcs. Females have not evolved in this direction specifically for the sake of racial reproduction, and even sacrificed their individual viability (individual force)—wool that is two years younger than Xiao Yun is fully capable of tearing raw over him.

The Grassroots Patriarch, Arthur Patriarch, Hongye, Green Grass, and Dahe are not dead either!

Not to mention that the female high-ranking females on their own side will not agree (travelers surrounded by female supporters can also use women as tools, which is to open up a halo of group wisdom, so that female wise men and women with insight will all ignore themselves Which side of the ass is the most basic skill point of this political creature), Mr. Sean and Hodgson, spellcasters who are beyond low-level tastes, will not agree with it!

As soon as Xiao Yun said this, Hodgson's coffin face that hadn't changed for ten thousand years softened a little bit, and he nodded slightly while touching his chin.

Hodgson, who has been a neighbor with the lowest-level villagers for many years, is well aware of the seriousness of the gender imbalance at the bottom of the human race.Especially for human men and women of childbearing age, the number of women is more than [-]% less than that of men, and this sudden drop in the female population, most of them died in childbirth—even if it is a normal childbirth, there is no dystocia, bleeding, etc., and the postpartum wounds recover During the period, there is no condition to pay attention to hygiene, infection and so on, and death is also a very common thing. (There is no Confucian culture in this world, and there is no 'excellent' tradition of drowning female infants, only the problem of being able to afford it)

If Xiao Yun encourages the members of "J" to force human women to give birth prematurely for the sake of population, then Hodgson will definitely suspect that this guy doesn't want allies to grow bigger at all-the caster's vision will not be fooled by the survivor's bias, similar to "no They also have admonitions that those who plan for the whole world should not plan for a moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation should not plan for a region."

"My suggestion is to try to ensure the safety of the women in your territory during childbirth." Xiao Yun continued, "It is too expensive to provide life-saving alchemy potions for every expectant mother, and your funds cannot afford such You can’t provide for everyone even if you are willing to do this, and if a welfare policy cannot reach as many people as possible, then it will only cause civil resentment, which is not good. So I think it is necessary to establish a medical system for the public system."

The human race needs doctors. When Xiao Yun recruited female workers and male workers from Cronin, he invited doctors here. Now the number of doctors in the two factories has expanded to four, and they are on duty in twos. When workers have headaches, they can go to see doctors.

And the earldom of "J", even the local aborigines brought in immigrants from the outside added up to 30, and there is not even a hospital, this must not be possible...

But you said that you want to build a hospital in the earldom of "J", which is not practical.Because these 30 people do not live in a concentrated area, and the "J" who is still relatively shallow in territorial governance cannot come up with a city that can concentrate more than 10 people... Financial resources and infrastructure conditions are not allowed, and farming is not allowed. If there is no blood transfusion in the countryside, urban residents will starve to death every minute.

Then the most practical way is to set up health centers (mainly maternity centers) that sink to townships, and train barefoot doctors—although it is a bit earthy, but in the first 30 years of poverty in New China, national medical care relied on barefoot Supported by doctors!

Cronin has no shortage of doctors who escaped from the persecution of the Holy See. Of course, the better doctors are all in big cities like Valentine, and their annual salary is calculated in gold coins. Poor service.So Xiao Yun's suggestion is to hire these doctors as teachers, and then select smart and clever young men and women from the local people to learn common disease consultation and prescription.

Xiao Yun calculated the accounts for the two "J" leaders. The construction of township health centers plus follow-up maintenance, plus the cost of training barefoot doctors, plus the support of medical resources to keep up with each other year after year, although It is more affordable than providing alchemy potions to pregnant women in a whimsical way, but the cost is really not small... Arman ran over the numbers in his heart, and his face turned pale.

"The investment in medical care is indeed a bit scary, but if you don't invest in this aspect, then the territory will not be able to talk about long-term stability." Xiao Yun understands that J is just standing still, and there are many places that need money, but since he wants to If this ally can take root in the territory of the human race and grow into a big tree, then he must persuade the ally to work hard on medical care, "Pregnant women need medical insurance and need to be able to survive from the delivery bed, so that after a recovery period of one or two years , they can have a healthy body to give birth to the next fetus."

"The average life expectancy of the low-level civilians in the Boyle Territory is 32 years old. This is based on your personal visits and investigations. Then how many of the subjects who fell asleep forever at a young age can actually be rescued with just a little powder What? At 30 years old, it is the prime of life and the labor force, and the people of this age will lose their lives just because of a little cold or inflammation of a small wound. Isn't that even more regrettable?"

"From the perspective of the lord, the more subjects there are, the longer the life expectancy, the better. From the perspective of the subjects, if someone can ask for help when they are sick, it is better than lying at home and waiting to die. Come strong. We compete with the Cronin royal family, who can use the private labor force more effectively, who can win the hearts of the people, and if we don’t work hard in this kind of place, where else should we work hard?"

"You're right, Mr. Ayun." Adrian has never been poor like Arman, he always has some gold coins in his pocket, and he doesn't spend money like Arman Picking and searching, nodding his head vigorously, he said, "The money to train a barefoot wandering doctor is not enough to buy two bottles of alchemy potions, and this doctor can continue to use cheaper herbal medicine to cure diseases and save lives in the future, no matter where he comes from. On the one hand, this is much more effective than relying on alchemy potions."

Xiao Yun smiled and said: "It's natural. Well, I have another suggestion in this place. The medical system is implemented as a public welfare of the territory, but it's best not to make it free. Free things are just nice to say. A good price will be compensated from other places, which is more likely to cause problems. My suggestion is that since J has so many outstanding talents, it is possible to establish a pharmaceutical institution and develop targeted pills and powders by itself, so as to benefit the public The price that can be consumed is sold to the outside world, and the cost that cannot be covered by the selling price is used to fill the hole with the recovery funds for the export of drugs that increase the price..."

There is no well-established pharmaceutical industry in this world, and the reason is super simple: the lower-level people who need cheap mass-produced drugs to save their lives can’t make a sound, while the middle and high-level people have the conditions to turn to more convenient and effective alchemy.

There is a large piece of land on the grassland that can be used for planting herbs, but the country of flames composed of orcs, goblins, and gray dwarves really has no way to engage in the pharmaceutical industry for humans... This stuff can determine the life and death of patients, It's not food, it's just a matter of taste acceptance.

That is to say, Xiao Yun wants to earn money from pharmaceuticals, an industry that has been proven to be a huge profit on the earth, so he can only recruit human allies to do it together—the grassland provides herbal medicine raw materials, and the Boyle territory of "J" provides R&D personnel. Live together!

Arman, who was still heartbroken and covered his heart, heard that he could make money by engaging in territorial medical benefits. He immediately came to life, and he listened very carefully with his neck hooked... It’s not because he cares about money, but because he doesn’t know how to deal with it. Firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the lord is not so good!

Successfully tied allies to his own economic chariot more firmly, while Xiao Yun patted his thigh in relief, he couldn't help but think of another question: It seems that the hatred between us and the Alchemist Association will never end It's time to resolve it... Stealing someone's alloy formula on the front foot, and ruining his family's financial resources on the back foot, if you don't send someone to assassinate him, you must be regarded as a group of alchemists who are self-cultivated.

From population increase to women's pregnancy and childbirth, to medicine and pharmaceuticals, to community of interests, and to end this topic, Xiao Yun brought the topic back to the fundamental policy of population increase: "As we said before, is it right to plunder population by war?" It’s cost-effective. So what is the most cost-effective way to accept population? I think everyone should have a hunch—the cheapest and most efficient way to expand population is definitely to accept war refugees from wars and civil strife.”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

All the casters looked calm at first glance, um, just at first glance... Actually, even the corners of Hodgson's mouth were twitching slightly.

——You guy really said it!

——Then you kicked Aisha out just now!

——You can't say what others can say, can't you! !

Xiao Yun is very calm, without the slightest bit of shyness or embarrassment... Even if that young man Aisha didn't come to expose the "color revolution" in the Far East by the grassland and stir up civil strife in the Far East, and then happily accept Dingkou's matter, He is also going to drag down the group of idealists of "J"—the so-called allies are to advance together and retreat together. I am black and black and you are as pure as white lotuses. How can our friendship last forever?

If a hero goes to Liangshan and doesn't hand in his name certificate, who the hell will be your brother!

So Xiao Yun would not talk about the hardships of the grassland and the difficulty in breeding the orcs with the "J" group of spellcasters at all. He just needs to let these magicians piss with him... cough cough!

At the moment, Xiao Yun smiled very kindly, with a very composed expression: "The number of freedmen who lost their land due to the appearance of agricultural machinery is limited, and besides defecting to the Boyle Territory, the landless peasants have other options, such as knocking out their teeth. And blood swallowing, working as farm laborers for the nobles who took away their land. Whether it's human race or orc race, the bottom has a strong endurance, and it doesn't mean that the bottom will remain silent when there is no way out."

When Lao Tzu said that "the people are not afraid of death, how can they fear it with death", the background is the period of the end of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when wars raged year after year and the common people were precarious.

On Earth, Westerners respect heroes, while Easterners' feelings for so-called heroes can be accurately described in one sentence: "Once a hero draws his sword, it will be another ten years of calamity for the common people."

The chaotic world where heroes come out is a hell where there are no civilians, and ten rooms are empty!

Eastern Confucian culture has lagged behind the times in the 21st century, but in the long history of the earth, the core of restraint, forbearance, and moderation of Confucian culture is indeed relatively friendly to the common people at the bottom—in some international frictions, No matter how loudly some idiots yell, East Asian countries are more inclined to resolve incidents on the premise of ensuring domestic stability.

This is also the main reason why Xiao Yun has always carefully maintained the relationship with his neighbors and tried his best to prevent his tribe from living in the shadow of war. Born in New China, he was naturally deeply influenced by Confucian culture.

The warriors who draw their swords and charge are brave, but the idiots who don't hesitate to let the tribe fall into the war for the sake of their heroic temperament and title, it is better to find a corner and kill them secretly... The longer you live, the greater the harm.

This level of logic is transformed, that is, other people's homes are casually fighting and setting fires... What does other people's dead children have to do with me!

"The third prince of the royal family of Cronin and His Royal Highness Prince Maurice have good ambitions." Xiao Yun said with a kind smile, "My suggestion is that both of us might as well think about how to give this prince 'necessary' support."

Now Mr. Xiao En couldn't hold back anymore, he looked at Xiao Yun bluntly, and said in surprise, "Didn't you say six or seven years ago that the scale of the Cronin royal family's struggle is limited to the top?"

Adrian & Arman: "??"

The two old brothers stared at Xiao En in horror, and then looked at Xiao Yun in horror, no, have you not been kind to Cronin'an all these years ago? !

"At this time, at that time." Xiao Yun, who was thick-skinned like a city wall, was as steady as an old dog, showing no sign of embarrassment at all, "At that time, we were not in a position to benefit from royal infighting, but now, aren't our allies already in Clorox? Has Ning stood still, why waste such a good opportunity."

Adrian & Arman: "..."

Hodgson, who was sitting in the corner, endured and endured but still couldn't hold back, and secretly cast a detection magic on Xiao Yun.

Of course Xiao Yun is not a demon... So Hodgson showed a very confused and indescribably complicated expression...

Yarman's mood is also very tangled... In the past two years, the Boyle Territory has received farmers who lost their land in the surrounding territories, and arranged to open up wasteland and build new villages. This year alone, hundreds of thousands of acres of land have been developed. It is self-evident how much profit it brings to the territory.From his standpoint, he really couldn't bear to miss the "good opportunity" to quickly expand the workforce.

With a fake cough, this spellcaster who has really suffered from poverty and is relatively stooped thickened his face and said: "Mr. Ayun, can you tell me more about it?"

Adrian, who had a relatively high lower limit, silently looked at his old brother, moved his lips, and twitched his cheeks. Finally, he struggled to resist the urge to stop Arman——establishing an ideal country on the territory of the human race is all " The common dream of the members of J” naturally includes Adrian.

Xiao Yun saw the reaction of the two elder brothers, he laughed, and explained the changes in the internal situation of the Cronin royal family.

These confidential information came from his fourth disciple Isaac who broke into Cronin's capital.

Isaac, who handed over his trade channel with the prairie people, entered the capital and entered the upper social circle, and found out the fact that Prince Maurice was challenging the authority of the eldest prince with almost no effort—the king took his wealth away. In order to honor the eldest prince, Prince Maurice, who has single-handedly promoted the popularity of Cronin's game for the past few years, not only has a large amount of liquidity in his hands, but also has captured a large number of contacts, which has already made the eldest prince ashamed!

At first, what Prince Morris sought was only the earl's territory and the title of earl, but after holding the two "sharp weapons" of fame and wealth, the prince's ambitions cannot be inflated... and it is obvious that "The Sheriff Holmes The coffin puzzle had a deep influence on him, so not only did he not challenge the authority of the old king, but he respected his father the king even more, and focused all his firepower on the first heir, the eldest prince!

Traveling around the country to hold ball games and making a lot of money, members of the royal family are second to none in the folk recognition, and have a deep friendship with the kingdom's nobles and young men, weaving an amazing network of contacts that are based on the premise of interests, such Morris It can be said that it is not too easy for a prince to challenge a prince in the deep palace who does not leave the palace and even the citizens of the capital do not know what he looks like. To use an easy-to-understand analogy, the boss of the company wants to retire, and the boss of the company wants to let the people who have never seen him. The former young master took over the company. At this time, the vice president who is known to everyone and everyone knows him stood up and questioned him, saying that he is more suitable to be the boss. Who do the employees and shareholders support?

"Prince Maurice is rich and well-off, we don't need to add to this, it won't be of much use." After introducing the background, Xiao Yun said with a smile, "My idea is that we can help His Highness the Prince from the sidelines... the world Don’t you like heroes, dragon slaying warriors, knight legends, as long as you wear such a halo, the public will feel full of affection for no reason.”

Speaking of this, the eyes of this devilish, soon-to-be-adult snow wolf sage flashed: "The current King Cronin supports the eldest prince, and he forcibly expropriates my disciple Isaac's trade with the grassland." The channel is to add chips to the eldest prince, so that the eldest prince can also seize money and people. Prince Maurice wisely did not directly confront King Cronin, and chose to back down in this regard. We need to create Opportunity, a chance for him to become the number one hero of Cronin, in this regard, King Cronin will not be able to pull back... The eldest prince has already walked the path of Prince Maurice with the help of the old king, and then If you continue to imitate Prince Maurice, then the eldest prince will completely lose his authority as the first heir without waiting for the old king to pass away!"

"When a role model is also an option, no one is willing to trust this kind of crown prince who only knows how to follow the example!"

The five spellcasters present showed their worldview refreshed expressions...including Hodgson who couldn't see it.

——The battle for the crown prince, can you still fight like this? !

Xiao Yun chuckled, what's the matter, it's just a trick used by Zhu Di's two sons when they were fighting for the reserve...

And we don't really want to help Morris. To put it bluntly, the Chinese rulers only use heroes as tools in their bones!

"Of course, everyone needs to keep in mind that meddling in the dispute between the Cronin royal family does not mean that we have to give our allegiance to any member of the royal family." Demon Yun said coldly, "Our purpose is to let the Boyle Territory participate in this political battle. Obtaining a sufficient population and obtaining a labor force is our ultimate goal, please do not confuse priorities."

The two high-level casters of "J" looked terrified, and nodded in agreement.

Unknowingly, although they don't have the status of master and apprentice, the two old brothers have already assumed the posture of disciples... It's really that the orc who is about to grow up in front of him is too old and creepy!

Xiao Yun didn't care that the eyes of the spellcasters present looked at him a little changed, and he smiled and mentioned how to give Prince Maurice a "God-making Movement"...

From the standpoint of the Prairie Kingdom, Xiao Yun's expectation for "J" is that this group of spellcasters can establish another St. Bridge in the northern part of the Southern Continent.

This time, it is not to operate this pro-grassland force as a retreat, but as a place for product dumping and raw material supply—the corn seeds given by the elephant clan failed to be planted on the grassland. Obviously, this crop from the subtropical region While also hardy, grassland climates exceed the threshold for this hardiness.

Cronin's climate is better than the grasslands, and it's closer to St. Bridge... so it's cheap...

Another unspoken purpose is that the magicians of "J" help to disturb Cronin's muddy water, so that Isaac will have a better chance of obtaining sea-going ship technology, and the third disciple Lola will also have more opportunities. Space secretly developed its own Bolton collar—didn't you see that Mr. Xiao En shut his mouth tightly after asking questions? He also thought of this level!
