Chapter 523: Three Covenants
"In order to support the economy of the Elven Empire, the relevant agreement on the full opening of the labor market within the Lanmeng"
"Full Visa Exemption for Elven Entry-Exit Terms"
"Several Resolutions on Promoting the Introduction of Foreign Investment in the Elven Empire"
These are probably the three historical agreements that the so-called superior elves hate the most, but they are all the support and help of the elves within the Lan League, at least, at the beginning.
The elves of the year were actually defeated soldiers who were crippled by the world war, and came to the edge of the world to survive, eager for another chance to rise.
The elven gods were completely wiped out in the war, and many kingdoms of the superior elves were scorched in the war, and the remaining tribesmen fled to the roof of the world, and they lost hope without the protection of the gods......... Their status is that they are war refugees.
Needless to say, the misery of war refugees is that they have no land, no homeland, no property and even no human rights, and the only thing they can pursue is probably to live, and even sell their wives and daughters for a little food.
If there is no God and no country, there will naturally be no home, and then people who have no future will probably only have despair.
But compared to most war refugees, the elves are lucky.
First of all, their social structure is relatively intact, not ordinary war refugees scattered and fleeing, but a collective migration guided by the whole society, which still retains relatively stable social relations and will not start over in a mess.
What's even more fortunate is that the Northland is vast and sparsely populated in that era, there are many uninhabited areas, and there are also abandoned northern elf homeland areas, which are enough to allow them to re-establish the country.
But in the early days of the statehood, they were still struggling.
The entire industrial and agricultural system could not be taken away, and in the barren Northland in those years, gold coins may not be enough to buy enough daily necessities, not to mention that the daily necessities used by the entire ethnic group are imported...... You can't think about the gold coins.
Those industrial and agricultural systems that seem to have little importance are the cornerstone of a country's stability, and now that the cornerstone is gone, they naturally have no way to survive, and the cruel natural environment in the north has exacerbated the situation even more.
In the first and second years, you can also spend your time with the assistance of the Lan League, and after that, ..... It's really difficult, no one's resources are blown by the wind, and a group and a country still have to rely on themselves in the end.
What's more, the support of others will make you starve to death at most, and it is impossible to live well, and the elves' pursuit of quality of life is probably the highest in this world, and the contradiction between people's yearning for a better life and the real environment has become the main contradiction in society.
So, in order to help them re-establish their income channels, after repeated negotiations, under the leadership of the legendary hero Roland, these three agreements were signed.
"In order to support the economy of the Elven Empire, the relevant agreement on the full opening of the labor market within the Lanmeng"
This agreement means that the countries of the Lan Alliance have opened their labor markets to the elves, and to put it bluntly, it is an agreement that causes labor.
Mineral resources are needed to rebuild industry, fertile land and springs are needed to rebuild agriculture, and these are extremely barren in the frozen soil of the north, and even the processing industry also needs channels and materials, which the elves can do but cannot do in a short time.
Thinking about it, the channels that could make money back then, the elves were left with only this human resource.
I have to mention that rotten ships have three catties of nails, and the proportion of elves casting spells is always second to none among all races, even civilians who are not mages, and they also have a lot of understanding of magic.
It's an ordinary elf ranger, an elf shooter, and an excellent mercenary, and the elven artist and craftsman are also very popular and sought after, even if they don't know anything, they are diligent and energetic, and they have a good face, so it's good to be a waiter and hostess.
In the previous history, elf slaves have always been a bestseller in the black market, and now the elves are all "Filipino maids (fine maids)", how can the member countries of the Northland Lan Alliance refuse, even if they will not hire anything to be a vase, it is also a pleasing thing to the eye.
As a result, a large number of ordinary elves left other countries (the upper elves did not work), and a second contract was released.
"Full Visa Exemption for Elven Entry-Exit Terms"
Regardless of that era, entry and exit were an extremely troublesome matter.
Even if you check one level after another, you are afraid that those guards and inspectors will extort and ask for all kinds of money, which will not only waste time and energy, but also cause a series of troubles.
And the most important thing is the issue of tariffs, the environment of the customs is not only the goods have to pay taxes, but also people have to pay taxes, and it is quite heavy, which means that many labor elves may be difficult to return to China freely, and it also means that many elves can not make up their minds to go abroad to make money.
"In some countries, a city is one-tenth of a heavy tax, and the elves walk around the country to find a job, and it is estimated that she is only left with debts, and the current system is too much to hinder the circulation of labor, so I suggest that the elves be used as a pilot to allow workers to enter and exit freely. ”
This contract also means that as long as you go for a medical examination and identity verification, you can use this certificate to pass through various checkpoints and national borders.
Whoever has a high salary and a good living environment will go to whom's house, and there is nothing wrong with it.
This caused a lot of controversy and caused a series of troubles back then, but in the end someone suppressed it and forcibly implemented it under the gratitude of the elves.
The effect is very good, the elf laborers first became rich themselves, many of them are very capable, very skilled outstanding talents, and all countries have also benefited, since you are hello, I am good, everyone is good, and even the upper elves can benefit from the wealth brought back by the laborers, and this policy has stabilized.
But this is still not a long-term way, there is no country that has become rich by the export of labor, and the iron has to be its own, so there is a third agreement.
"Several Resolutions on Promoting the Introduction of Foreign Investment in the Elven Empire"
Yes, the elves don't have anything, but no problem, individuals, enterprises, and forces in other countries of the Lanmeng have money, resources, and technology, and can invest in setting up factories within the territory of the elf empire, not only the investment of foreign capital, but also the elf laborers who have made money can also go home and start a factory by themselves.
The agreement stipulates that if an elf does not have enough money or lacks technology and main products, it can even be led by an intermediary agency to organize several or dozens of elf laborers to jointly set up factories.
Banks, aristocrats, and capitalists from various countries also give priority to these elves who have returned to China to start their own businesses.
"This is really great good governance, and if you don't have money or technology, you will find a way to support you. They are all elves, and they are relieved to work for him. The elves are rich, and the first rich leads the latter to become rich, which is the real common prosperity. ”
All of a sudden, even the high-ranking elves who had a very bad impression of Roland also praised each other, after all, under their noses, the pieces of wasteland were being renewed, factories and houses were built one by one, everyone's life was better, and the offerings and taxes received had also increased tenfold or a hundredfold.
But with the passage of time, now let the high-ranking elves evaluate these three contracts, probably gritting their teeth not to describe their anger, and wanting to drink their blood and eat their flesh is the real thought in their hearts.
"It's gone, it's all gone, the elves' social traditions and cultural inheritances for thousands of years, the glory and history of our elves through the ages, are all gone!"
