Through the objective analysis of the external appearance of things, to understand and absorb them, so as to realize the cruel nature of the inner laws of the world and its own insignificance in the face of the general trend. If this matter is placed in the Xianxia text, it can naturally be called "pointing directly to the heart", and if it is placed in the historical text, it can also be called "raising consciousness".

Luo Zhengdao had no intention of giving Vina a lesson, so he mentioned her slightly, and then diverted the topic and said:

"Alright, go back early and rest. Prepare to board the ship tomorrow, I will arrange the escort, don't think it's ruthless, it's for your good. The Chuanshan Islands are my territory, but the people here are complicated, and I can't predict what will happen when the news of the fall of the main continent spreads. ”

Indeed, many anomalies such as corruption and alienation have already appeared in the underground space of the main continent, and many underground rifts have begun to inexplicably emerge from the bottom of the lower planes, which are said to be caused by natural portals. Judging from the combined information, the evidence is unequivocal, and the messenger of hell did not say much. However, there was always another side to the matter, and Luo Zhengdao soon received relevant news from the Yaling Empire, which made him even more bittersweet. Previously, Luo Zhengdao over-interpreted the deterioration of the shape of the Yan zhòng Cheng dù, the main continent is a part of the main material realm, even if falling to the lower layer is an inevitable result, the process is quite long, and it is impossible to finish overnight.

In the old world, there was a saying that after 500 years, the sea became land, and after another 500 years, the land turned into the sea again.

The vicissitudes of life are certainly turbulent changes caused by changes in natural forces, and the time scale is also beyond the imagination of mortals. The fall of the main continent is a change of the same level as the vicissitudes of the sea, a conservative estimate, the fall time of the main continent is about two hundred years, if it is not so conservative, the main continent may still be hanging within the scope of the main material realm in a thousand years! If the average life expectancy of human beings is calculated, even a newborn baby who has just fallen to the ground does not have to expect to see the natural wonders of the main continent disappear from view during his lifetime as an adult until he dies of old age.

Such a slow fall was enough for the Goblin Second Empire to transfer the resources and wealth it had gathered, and even to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder other alien tribes who were busy on the run, with little to lose in the long run.

The follow-up impact of these news is good and bad, in the short term, Luo Zhengdao does not have to worry about the behind-the-scenes gold lord unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and if you want to do it, you have to be patient and wait to see the wind, but the goblins will definitely not take human slaves with them when they withdraw from the main continent, and the focus of the next stage of competition will change from seizing land to population. If you want to fight a port casually like before, the goblins will rush out to meet it like they have been stabbed in a hornet's nest, so that there will be fewer and fewer good things

The crowded docks and piers are reminiscent of the hectic scene inside the anthill, where countless humans are disembarking from those ships to the harbor, a new group of residents of the Funyama Islands.

"Is this response still smooth?"

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's inquiry, several of his subordinates listened respectfully with their heads bowed, and the small leader led by replied:

"Yes, Your Highness. The plan was executed smoothly, this was the first fleet, followed by two more fleets, and the total number of rescued slaves was expected to exceed two hundred thousand. ”

Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes and glanced at the ragged freed slaves who were disembarking in the distance, who were receiving cereal porridge from the people waiting on the shore, Luo Zhengdao nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Well, you've worked hard too, go back and rest!"

"It is our honor to serve His Highness."

Before boarding the carriage back to the official residence, Luo Zhengdao turned around and stared at the busy dock, and couldn't help sighing, the job of running the country is really a long way to go!

Two million people, if this number is left in the old world, China is at best the population size of a third-tier city, and it can't even make a splash, but now it is the number of all the people that Luo Zhengdao has captured by trying his best to compete with the Second Goblin Empire.

It is true that people are consumers, but people are also producers, and it may be too much to ignore any of the previous and subsequent articles as distorted interpretations, and to say that there are ulterior motives.

Similar to those who shout that there are too many people when they have nothing to do, it is purely a huge burden, and think that after the population is reduced to a certain number, how our lives will be happy and beautiful, they do not even have the slightest basic common sense. In order to maintain the operation of a complete industrialized country, a large number of people need to be invested in all aspects, and those countries with sparse populations say that to establish a complete industrial production system, if it is not destroyed by people, it is necessary to burn high incense and thank the ancestors for their protection.

In the old world, countries with a complete industrial system from paper to spacecraft, except for the bald eagle, there are only rabbits, and the woolly bear that has been settled in the soil can be counted as one if it is still alive, and the old and new Europe can barely be counted as one, so in the post-Cold War era, the bald eagle who has been alone and seeking defeat has nothing to do all day long and thinks about eating jasmine. Smoked rabbit with a floral flavor, this thing is easy to understand.

Only you, a thief rabbit, have the strength to fight against my eagle sauce in an all-out way, isn't that ambition thing just a matter of minutes? All right! Even if you don't have ambition now, you may not have one in the future! What's more, if I say that you have, you will definitely have it, and this is called the sin of desire.

Although the industrial system of the New World has not developed to the point where you can get a PhD just by studying the taxonomy of industrial categories in the Old World, it is definitely not the primary level of heavy industry and light industry straw mats.

In the military industry, for example, thousands of workers are involved in the production process, from mining to metal smelting, to cutting and grinding metal materials, to finely processing them into various parts, and finally assembling them into tools and weapons. For a large project such as the construction of ironclad ships, thousands of shipbuilders are invested in the final assembly stage alone, and the total number of people required to maintain this industrial production capacity can scare a bunch of laymen, including the other factories and workshops that manufacture subsystems for these projects.

In the era of industrialization, no population is equal to no workers, no workers is equal to no industrialization, no industrialization is equal to five scum, and the five scumbags can die with peace of mind.

Such as what is better to buy than to buy, what to buy is better than rent, what theories are vigorously advocated by the compradors in a Weiguang and upright tone, which means the absurdity of these things, starting a war with the country of origin of the equipment, and the stupid big wood who automatically stops work as soon as the radar is turned on sends a congratulatory telegram from heaven, may you be with me.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the rabbit was dubbed the "crusher of the developed countries", and the reason for this is the same as the one mentioned earlier, those small industrialized countries simply cannot meet the needs of the fully industrialized population, and can only maintain the healthy development of a certain industry in isolation. Once they are overtaken by latecomers with full industrialization capabilities, and do not use strategies such as non-tariff trade barriers to protect their own manufacturing industries, these so-called developed countries will not even have the power to fight back, and will immediately be ruthlessly crushed by the sky-high production capacity and cabbage price dumping that broke out in the same industry as rabbits.

There is no doubt that in the long course of history, these garbage goods whose combat effectiveness is only five in both horizontal and vertical terms will naturally end up as scum, that is, the so-called "five scum of war".

The great significance of promoting industrialization lies in how many things you can make, which directly determines how strong your national strength is, and the more money in your pocket and less money is a secondary issue. However, the important prerequisites for industrialization are population and education, and without this necessary prerequisite, it is a pipe dream to talk about industrialization without a large number of educated people who can become workers.

Luo Zhengdao has always spared no effort in investing in universal education, and the adult literacy classes in Wake Reef have been cancelled because all adult illiteracy has been wiped out, and the rest of the children's education can be handed over to the school to complete.

Although it took only a little more than a year to recover the Chuanshan Islands, and the proportion of the population who were illiterate accounted for about one-fifth, Luo Zhengdao was still not satisfied.

For a million or so educated people, excluding those children who are still in school, there are 600,000 or 700,000 available workers. At this stage, he can only lead a group of illiterate workers to work with skilled workers who have completed literacy, and there is no need to expect too much in terms of efficiency, after all, receiving education brings people not only knowledge, but more importantly, a change in the way of thinking. For a group of ignorant and fearless illiterates, you can't guess what they can do. Pipes and light bulbs are the daily programs that illiterate people like to see, and this kind of stupid audacity that takes ignorance as fearlessness will take the safety production regulations in the factory seriously? The answer, of course, is no, and their negligence can blow up the entire workshop in a matter of minutes

"Invitations? Who sent it? ”

Luo Zhengdao, who had a stern expression, questioned the attendant officer, you know, not all cats and dogs are qualified to put their invitations on his desk, especially this invitation card with extremely luxurious workmanship is comparable to a work of art, and Luo Zhengdao knew that trouble came to the door again as soon as he saw it.

At this time, the attendant who was questioned leaned over and said:

"Your Highness, it was initiated by the Yaling Empire to convene the leaders of countries around the world to participate in discussing the issue of dealing with the fall of the main continent."

As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao's face changed several times, and finally he made a posture with his nostrils facing the sky, snorted coldly, and said:

"Hmph, waste of time, reply to them, as long as there is a human slave in the world, I will never sit with the goblins in a meeting."

At this time, a voice came from outside, saying:

"Your Highness, please consider this issue carefully."

Luo Zhengdao followed the voice and looked over, and when he saw the dress of the Yaling Empire, his face immediately turned a little colder, these guys came and went freely in their offices, and they really didn't see anything outside!

There is no need for others to explain anything, Luo Zhengdao, who was born in a professional class, also knew with his knees that this so-called consultation meeting was bound to evolve into a "Munich Conference" in the new world, and the great powers sacrificed the interests of the small partners to satisfy the dissenting side.

Hearing what the Yaling diplomat said, the corners of Luo Zhengdao's mouth showed a sneer, he closed his eyes, and opened them suddenly after a few seconds, his eyes were filled with a killing intent that was so strong that it almost turned into substance, and he said in a cold tone:

"If Yaling is not satisfied, please send a fleet to negotiate, as long as you can win against me, you can say whatever you want."
